读经∶腓一21上，弗四16、24，启一2、9、11～12，十九7，五6，徒二十24
壹 我们必须担负有关世界终极局势、神终极行动以及神终极恢复的终极责任：
I. We need to bear the ultimate responsibility related to the world's ultimate situation, God's ultimate move, and God's ultimate recovery:
一 我们终极的责任乃是被基督浸透并浸润，好为着召会作基督的身体，就是一个新人──弗三16，四12、16、24：
A. Our ultimate responsibility is to be saturated and permeated with Christ for the church as the Body of Christ, the one new man—Eph. 3:16; 4:12, 16, 24:

1. We must realize the great responsibility we have regarding preaching the gospel, teaching the divine truths, and meeting according to the way ordained by God; however, we should not be satisfied with these three things, for they cannot fulfill God's desire—Matt. 24:14; 28:19.
2 神的愿望、祂的喜悦，是要我们活基督，并有基督作召会生活的实际，就是真实的内容，使每个地方召会都成为金灯台──弗一5、9，腓一21上，二13，启一11～12：

a 这样，身体生活就会达到罗马十二章的实际，这自然会为着主的回来预备新妇。─引用经文
a. Then the Body life will reach the reality of Romans 12, and this will be the spontaneous preparation of the bride for the Lord's coming back.
