总题：约翰的修补职事
第一篇　生命的修补职事
Message One The Mending Ministry of Life
读经：太四21，约二一11，十二24，约壹一1~2，五11~13、16
Scripture Reading: Matt. 4:21; John 21:11; 12:24; 1 John 1:1-2; 5:11-13, 16
壹　使徒约翰的职事是修补的职事，就是修补，或恢复保罗的完成职事时期之后所遭受的破坏;约翰修补这破损之属灵的网，使其完美且更坚固─约二一11，约壹一1~2，二7~8：
I.　The ministry of the apostle John was a mending ministry, a ministry of mending, or restoring, what had been damaged after the time of Paul's completing ministry; John mended the broken spiritual net, perfecting it and making it stronger—John 21:11; 1 John 1:1-2; 2:7-8:
一　约翰的职事乃是修补保罗之完成职事所遭受的破坏─提后一15。
A.　John's ministry was to mend the damage that had been done to Paul's com-pleting ministry—2 Tim. 1:15.
二　保罗离世后，撒但暗暗地将关乎基督身位的异端，和破坏召会的错谬教训带进来─约壹二18~19。
B.　After the death of Paul, Satan insidiously brought in heresies concerning the person of Christ and false teachings that damaged the church—1 John 2:18-19.
三　由于破坏已经造成，就需要修补的职事;约翰乃是修补所遭受的破坏，他的著作是要修补召会的破口漏洞─一1~2，二20~25。
C.　Because of the damage that had been done, there was the need for a mending ministry; John was mending what was damaged, and his writings repaired the torn fabric of the church—1:1-2; 2:20-25.
贰　主向雅各和约翰显现并呼召他们时，他们正在“补网”─太四21：
II.　When the Lord appeared to James and John and called them, they were "mending their nets"—Matt. 4:21:
一　本节的“补网”，原文也用在林前一章十节的“和谐”，加拉太六章一节的“挽回”，以弗所四章十二节的“成全”，和帖前三章十节的“补足”。─引用经文
A.　The Greek word for mending in this verse is used in 1 Corinthians 1:10 ("attuned"), Galatians 6:1 ("restore"), Ephesians 4:12 ("perfecting"), and 1 Thes-salonians 3:10 ("complete").
二　修补的职事包括挽回、修理、装备、成全、补足、接连。
B.　The mending ministry includes restoring, fixing, equipping, perfecting, complet-ing, and framing together.
三　雅各和约翰补网，并不一定是因网破了;他们乃是在成全网，装备网，并在网上加上一些东西，使网更强固，更完整。
C.　James and John were mending their nets not necessarily because they were broken; they were perfecting the nets, equipping them, and adding something to make the nets stronger and more complete.
四　修补的职事是为要修理、挽回、成全、预备、完成、加上、调整、装备、弄得合适，使我们和谐一致，叫我们能与别人建造在一起─林前一10，林后十三9，加六1，帖前三10。
D.　The mending ministry is to fix, restore, perfect, prepare, complete, add to, adjust, equip, make suitable, and attune us so that we might be built up together with others—1 Cor. 1:10; 2 Cor. 13:9; Gal. 6:1; 1 Thes. 3:10.
五　若没有修补，虽有不少的材料被带进召会，仍不会有建造;堆积材料，不需要修补，但把那些材料建造起来，就需要大量的修补、成全、装备并使之和谐。
E.　Without the mending, a lot of materials may be brought into the church, but there will be no building; to pile material up requires no mending, but to build up that material requires much mending, perfecting, equipping, and attuning.
叁　使徒约翰的职事是生命的修补职事─约一4，十10，十一25，约壹一1~2，五11~13、16：
III.　The ministry of the apostle John was a mending ministry of life—John 1:4; 10:10; 11:25; 1 John 1:1-2; 5:11-13, 16:
一　约翰福音是一卷生命的书─一4，三15~16、36，五24，十一25，十四6，二十31：
A.　The Gospel of John is a book of life—1:4; 3:15-16, 36; 5:24; 11:25; 14:6; 20:31:
1　约翰所说的生命是永远、非受造的生命;这生命实际上就是三一神自己─五26，十一25，六63。
1.　The life John speaks of is the eternal, uncreated life; this life is actually the Triune God Himself—5:26; 11:25; 6:63.
2　主耶稣来了，是要叫我们得丰盛的生命;祂借着死与复活，将这生命释放出来，并分赐到我们里面─十10，十二24，十九34，二十17、31。
2.　The Lord Jesus came that we may have life abundantly; through His death and resurrection He released this life and imparted it into us—10:10; 12:24; 19:34; 20:17, 31.
二　这生命乃是一个奇妙的人位，人的言语难以描述;当约翰在约壹一章一节论到祂的时候，只能说，“那从起初原有的”，就是说到那从永远就与父同在的一位，祂既向使徒们显现出来，他们就把祂当作生命传扬─2~3节。
B.　This life is a wonderful person, indescribable in human language; when John referred to Him in 1 John 1:1, he could only say "that which was from the beginning," speaking of the One who was with the Father from eternity and was manifested to the apostles, who declared Him as life—vv. 2-3.
三　唯有借着赐生命的修补职事，才能修补今天在信徒中间和召会里残破的光景;唯有生命才能修补─五16：
C.　Today's broken situation among the believers and in the churches can be mended only by the life-giving mending ministry; only life can mend—5:16:
1　我们里面有“破洞”，有许多破损的事物需要修补。
1.　There are "holes" in us and many broken things that need to be mended.
2　破洞和破损必须在爱里借着生命来修补;我们只有借着生命的职事，才能得着修补─二25，三16。
2.　The holes and breaks must be mended by life in love; we can be mended only by the ministry of life—2:25; 3:16.
四　今天建造召会的中心需要，乃是生命的修补职事;在这职事里，我们经历基督作生命，而成为神的居所─约二19~22，十一25，十四2~3。
D.　The central requirement for the building up of the church today is the mending ministry of life; it is in this ministry that we experience Christ as our life and become the dwelling place of God—John 2:19-22; 11:25; 14:2-3.
肆　在约翰一书里，我们看见约翰修补职事基本且实质的元素─一1~3、7，五11~13：
IV.　In 1 John we see the basic and substantial element of John's mending ministry—1:1-3, 7; 5:11-13:
一　约翰一书启示的中心，乃是神圣生命的神圣交通─一3、7：
A.　The center of the revelation in 1 John is the divine fellowship of the divine life— 1:3, 7:
1　我们要享受神圣的生命，就需要基于神圣的出生，凭着那使这神圣出生有所发展的神圣种子，按着神圣的膏油涂抹，住在神圣生命的交通里─二12~三10。
1.　To enjoy the divine life, we need to abide in its fellowship according to the divine anointing, based upon the divine birth with the divine seed for its development—2:12—3:10.
2　借着了结的水、救赎的血以及使人有新生起头的那灵，我们就从神而生，成为神的儿女，有祂的神圣生命，并有分于祂的神圣性情─二29~三1，五1~13。
2.　By the terminating water, the redeeming blood, and the germinating Spirit, we have been born of God to be His children, possessing His divine life and partaking of His divine nature—2:29—3:1; 5:1-13.
3　现今基督借着祂的灵住在我们里面，作我们的生命和生命的供应，使我们因祂神圣的成分而长大，以致在祂显现时能以象祂─三1~2、24，四4、14~15。
3.　Christ is now indwelling us through His Spirit to be our life and life supply so that we may grow with His divine element unto His likeness at His man-ifestation—3:1-2, 24; 4:4, 14-15.
二　住在神圣生命的神圣交通里，乃是享受神圣的丰富─二6，三6：
B.　To abide in the divine fellowship of the divine life is to enjoy the divine riches— 2:6; 3:6:
1　借着这样的住，我们就在神圣的光中行─一5~7。
1.　By such abiding, we walk in the divine light—1:5-7.
2　借着这样的住，我们就实行真理、义、爱、神的旨意并神的诫命─6节，二5、17、29，三9~11，四7，五2。
2.　By such abiding, we practice the truth, righteousness, love, the will of God, and His commandments—v. 6; 2:5, 17, 29; 3:9-11; 4:7; 5:2.
三　要保守自己这样住在神圣的交通里，需要对付三样消极的东西：罪、世界和偶像─一7、9，二15~17，五21：
C.　To preserve this abiding in the divine fellowship, three main negative things need to be dealt with—sin, the world, and idols—1:7, 9; 2:15-17; 5:21:
1　抵挡这些消极东西的保障，乃是我们神圣的出生带着神圣的生命，以及住在我们里面神的话─18节，二14。
1.　The safeguard against these negative things is our divine birth with the divine life and the word of God that abides in us—v. 18; 2:14.
2　因着我们神圣的出生，我们也凭着相信神的儿子，胜过撒但邪恶的世界─五4~5。
2.　In virtue of our divine birth, we also overcome Satan's evil world by our faith in the Son of God—5:4-5.
3　我们神圣的出生带着那种在我们里面之人里的神圣种子，能使我们不致习惯地活在罪中─三5、9，五18。
3.　Our divine birth with the divine seed sown into our inner being enables us to not live habitually in sin—3:5, 9; 5:18.
4　倘若我们偶尔犯罪，我们有我们的辩护者作平息的祭物，在父神面前顾到我们的案件，子那永远有功效的血也洗净我们─二1~2，一7。
4.　In case we sin occasionally, we have our Paraclete as our propitiation to care for our case before our Father God, and the Son's everlasting, efficacious blood cleanses us—2:1-2; 1:7.
伍　基督是一粒麦子，在复活里产生许多子粒，这个示被绝大多数的基督徒忽略了─约十二24：
V.　The revelation of Christ as the one grain producing many grains in His resurrection is overlooked by the vast majority of Christians—John 12:24:
一　基督这一粒麦子乃是神圣的种子，产生许多子粒，作祂生机身体的许多肢体，终极完成于新耶路撒冷─罗十二3~4，启二一2、10~11。
A.　Christ as the one grain of wheat is the divine seed to produce many grains to be the many members of His organic Body, which consummates in the New Jerusalem—Rom. 12:3-4; Rev. 21:2, 10-11.
二　按照预表，许多子粒是为著作成一个饼;借着把这些子粒调成一个饼，召会作为基督的身体就产生出来，成为祂团体的彰显─林前十17，十二12、27。
B.　According to typology, the many grains are for the making of a loaf of bread; by the blending together of the grains into one loaf, the church as the Body of Christ was produced for His corporate expression—1 Cor. 10:17; 12:12, 27.
