A. The life in Psalm 133:3 is the eternal life of God (John 3:16; Eph. 4:18), which is commanded by God as a blessing to those who dwell together in oneness in the church life:
1 诗篇一百三十二篇预表召会的生命，一百三十三篇预表召会生活─最高的生活，弟兄在一里同住的生活。
1. Psalm 132 typifies the church life, and Psalm 133 typifies the church living—the highest living, a living in which the brothers dwell together in oneness.

VII. The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies in Christ—Eph. 1:3:
一 父是神圣福分的源头，那灵是神圣福分的性质和素质，子是神圣福分的范围、元素和凭借。
A. The Father is the source of the divine blessing, the Spirit is the nature and essence of the divine blessing, and the Son is the sphere, the element, and the means of the divine blessing.
二 神圣福分的性质和素质是本于灵的，但这福分的元素乃是基督自己；当我们说基督是神福分的元素时，我们是说基督自己乃是神圣的福分。
B. The nature and essence of the divine blessing are of the Spirit, but the element of this blessing is Christ Himself; for Christ to be the element of God’s blessing means that Christ Himself is the divine blessing.
三 基督，就是子自己，乃是福分；那灵是这福分的性质和素质；父是那赐与这福分的源头。
C. Christ, the Son Himself, is the blessing; the Spirit is the nature and essence of the blessing; and the Father is the source who gives this blessing.
捌 加拉太三章十四节指明，那灵就是神为着万国所应许亚伯拉罕的福，也是信徒借着相信基督所接受的─2、5节：

B. In the gospel (v. 8), we have received not only the blessing of forgiveness, washing, and cleansing; even more, we have received the greatest blessing, which is the Triune God—the Father, the Son, and the Spirit—as the processed, all-inclusive life-giving Spirit dwelling in us in the most subjective way for our enjoyment.

2 在主的桌子这里，我们喝杯时，就接受神的祝福─这福就是神自己─诗二三5，太二六27～29，林前十一25。
2. At the Lord’s table, when we drink the cup, we receive God’s blessing—the blessing that is God Himself—Psa. 23:5; Matt. 26:27-29; 1 Cor. 11:25.
