读经∶ 太十六18,十八17,启二二16,弗二21~22,三16~21,林前一9

壹 主耶稣回来之前,祂要完全恢复正确的召会生活—— 太十六18,十八17,启一11,二二16、20:

I. Before the Lord Jesus comes back, He will fully recover the proper church life—Matt. 16:18; 18:17; Rev. 1:11; 22:16, 20:

一 没有一件事比召会生活的恢复更摸着主的心。

A. Nothing touches the Lord's heart as much as the recovery of the church life.

二 在现今这世代,在主回来之前,祂必须得着召会生活,以羞辱祂的仇敌。

B. In this present age, before His coming back, the Lord must have the church life to shame His enemy.

三 不管撒但怎样破坏召会,主耶稣都要回来,祂的召会也要等候祂。

C. No matter what Satan does to damage the church, the Lord Jesus will return, and His church will be waiting for Him.

贰 召会生活乃是基督借着我们团体地活出来—— 加二20,腓一21上,三9~10:

II. The church life is Christ lived out through us in a corporate way—Gal. 2:20; Phil. 1:21a; 3:9-10:

一 召会生活乃是一种我们接受基督作生命和人位的生活—— 西三4,约壹五11~12,加二20,弗三16~17。

A. The church life is a life in which we take Christ as our life and our person— Col. 3:4; 1 John 5:11-12; Gal. 2:20; Eph. 3:16-17.

二 基督徒生活不是宗教生活,乃是基督自己借着我们活出来的生活—— 加二20,腓一21上。

B. The Christian life is not a religious life; it is a life that is Christ Himself lived out through us—Gal. 2:20; Phil. 1:21a.

三 当我们活基督,祂就将我们一同联结在一里,基督就会借着我们团体地活出来—— 罗十二4~5。

C. When we live Christ, He joins us together in oneness, and Christ will be lived out through us in a corporate way—Rom. 12:4-5.

四 基督自己是我们的生命,祂也是那在我们里面的灵;召会生活就是基督自己实化为生命,并实化为那住在我们里面的赐生命之灵—— 西三4,约壹五11~12,林前十五45下,林后三17。

D. Christ Himself is our life, and He is the Spirit within us; the church life is Christ Himself realized as life and as the life-giving Spirit dwelling in us—Col. 3:4; 1 John 5:11-12; 1 Cor. 15:45b; 2 Cor. 3:17.

五 实行召会生活的路,乃是将我们自己和每件事钉在十字架上,并接受基督作生命;然后我们要被基督以祂自己充满并浸透我们—— 罗六6,加二20,西三4。

E. The way to practice the church life is to put ourselves and everything on the cross and take Christ as life; then we will be permeated and saturated by Christ and with Christ—Rom. 6:6; Gal. 2:20; Col. 3:4.

六 我们必须为着召会生活的实行,学习作内里的基督徒,经历被变化—— 林后三18,罗十二2~21:

F. We need to learn to be inward Christians who are being transformed for the practice of the church life—2 Cor. 3:18; Rom. 12:2-21:

1 召会生活就是基督自己这灵充满、浸透并变化我们—— 林前十五45下,弗三16~17。

1. The church life is Christ Himself as the Spirit permeating, saturating, and transforming us—1 Cor. 15:45b; Eph. 3:16-17.

2 召会生活是变化的生活,不是天然的生活;这是基督自己作为主观的灵活在我们里面—— 罗十二2。

2. The church life is a transformed life, not a natural life; it is Christ Himself as the subjective Spirit living within us—Rom. 12:2.

3 我们越被基督变化并充满,就越会成为基督活的、真实的、实际的肢体,而实化真正的召会生活—— 弗三17,林后三18。

3. The more we are transformed and filled with Christ, the more we will be living, real, and practical members of Christ and realize the genuine church life—Eph. 3:17; 2 Cor. 3:18.

4 我们若被变化,就会很容易与别人联结、结合并建造在一起;这就是在召会生活里被建造起来—— 弗二21~22。

4. If we are transformed, it will be easy for us to be joined, knit, and built up together with others; this is to be built up in the church life—Eph. 2:21-22.

叁 真正对基督的经历总是产生召会生活,也要求有召会生活—— 林前一2、9、30,二2、10,五7~8,十3~4,十二12~13、27:

III. The genuine experience of Christ always issues in and requires the church life—1 Cor. 1:2, 9, 30; 2:2, 10; 5:7-8; 10:3-4; 12:12-13, 27:

一 我们越经历基督,我们的里面越要求我们活在正确的召会生活里。

A. ThemoreweexperienceChrist, themoresomething within requires that we live in the proper church life.

二 我们一旦又真又活地经历了基督,祂就会要求我们进入召会生活中,因为基督分赐到我们里面,乃是为着产生召会—— 罗八11,十二2~21。

B. When we experience Christ in a genuine and living way, He will require us to get into the church life because the dispensing of Christ into us is for the pro-ducing of the church—Rom. 8:11; 12:2-21.

三 神将自己分赐到我们里面,作我们的一切,目的是要得着祂团体的彰显,就是召会—— 弗三16~21。

C. God dispenses Himself into us as everything for the purpose of gaining His corporate expression, which is the church—Eph. 3:16-21.

四 当我们以基督作我们的生命、我们的人位和我们的一切,这位基督在我们里面就要求有正确的召会生活;事实上,基督在我们里面要成为召会生活。

D. When we take Christ as our life, our person, and our everything, this Christ within us will require the proper church life; in fact, the Christ in us will be-come the church life.

肆 召会生活乃是归一于基督独一元首权柄之下的生活—— 一10、22~23,四15~16:

IV. The church life is a life of being headed up under the unique headship of Christ—1:10, 22-23; 4:15-16:

一 神将祂所拣选的人归一于一个元首之下,成为基督的身体,以基督作头—— 一4、22~23:

A. God is heading up His chosen ones to be the Body of Christ, with Christ as the Head—1:4, 22-23:

1 神将万有在基督里归一于一个元首之下的第一步,乃是将祂的众子摆在基督独一的元首权柄之下—— 5、10节。

1. The first step in the heading up of all things in Christ is for God to place His sons under the unique headship of Christ—vv. 5, 10.

2 当召会领先归一于基督独一的元首权柄之下,神就有路使万有归一于一个元首之下—— 22~23、10节。

2. When the church takes the lead to be headed up under the headship of Christ, God has a way to head up all other things—vv. 22-23, 10.

二 在正确的召会生活中,我们在基督里归一于一个元首之下—— 林前十一3:

B. In the proper church life we are being headed up in Christ—1 Cor. 11:3:

1 我们若不认识什么是在基督里归一于一个元首之下,就无法认识召会是什么—— 弗一10、22~23。

1. If we do not know what it is to be headed up in Christ, we cannot know the church—Eph. 1:10, 22-23.

2 在召会生活中,我们领先在基督里归一于一个元首之下;为此,我们需要在一切事上长到元首基督里面—— 四15~16。

2. In thechurch lifeweare taking theleadtobeheadedupinChrist; forthis we need to grow up into the Head, Christ, in all things—4:15-16.

伍 交通乃是召会生活的实际—— 林前一9,十16~17,徒二42,约壹一3、7:

V. Fellowship is the reality of the church life—1 Cor. 1:9; 10:16-17; Acts 2:42; 1John1:3, 7:

一 这交通不仅包括我们与三一神之间的一,也包括所有信徒中间的一—— 约十七21~23,弗四3。

A. This fellowship involves not only the oneness between us and the Triune God but also the oneness among all the believers—John 17:21-23; Eph. 4:3.

二 召会是对基督的交通、共享、共同有分、彼此享受—— 林前一9。

B. The church is the fellowship, the communion, the co-participation, the mutual enjoyment of Christ—1 Cor. 1:9.

三 交通也含示信徒中间相互的流通—— 约壹一3、7:

C. Fellowship also implies a mutual f lowing among the believers—1 John 1:3, 7:

1 在新约里,交通描述我们与主之间以及我们彼此之间的流通—— 腓二1。

1. In the New Testament, fellowship describes the f lowing both between us and the Lord and between us and one another—Phil. 2:1.

2 我们在属灵交通里所有的水流,包含合一与生命;我们的交通是合一的水流。

2. The flow, the current, that we have in our spiritual fellowship involves both oneness and life; our fellowship is a f low of oneness.

3 这交通,这相互的流通,就是召会生活的实际—— 林前一9、2。

3. This fellowship, this mutual flowing, is the reality of the church life—1 Cor. 1:9, 2.

陆 召会生活乃是神圣得荣的延续——基督为父用神圣的荣耀所荣耀的延续—— 约十二23~24,十三31~32,十七1、5、22,徒三13:

VI. The church life is the continuation of the divine glorification—the con-tinuation of Christ being glorified by the Father with the divine glory— John 12:23-24; 13:31-32; 17:1, 5, 22; Acts 3:13:

一 荣耀就是神圣生命和神圣性情的彰显—— 七2,弗一17:

A. Glory is the expression of the divine life and the divine nature—7:2; Eph. 1:17:

1 如果我们凭着神圣的生命和性情而活,我们就会彰显神圣的荣耀—— 四18,彼后一4。

1. If we live by the divine life and nature, we will express the divine glory— 4:18; 2 Pet. 1:4.

2 我们越凭着神圣的生命和神圣的性情而活,召会中就越有神圣的荣耀—— 弗三21。

2. Themorewelivebythe divine lifeand thedivinenature, themoredivine glory there will be in the church—Eph. 3:21.

3 这荣耀的彰显就是主耶稣的得荣。

3. The expression of this glory is the glorification of the Lord Jesus.

二 神圣的得荣开始于主耶稣的复活,今天一直延续不已—— 路二四26,罗六4,林后三18,弗三21。

B. The divine glorification began with the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and it is continuing today—Luke 24:26; Rom. 6:4; 2 Cor. 3:18; Eph. 3:21.

三 召会已经在这得荣里产生出来,并且一直在神圣的得荣里长大—— 约十四2,十五1、4~5,十六21。

C. The church has been produced in this glorification, and it continues to grow in the divine glorification—John 14:2; 15:1, 4-5; 16:21.

四 凡是召会为着结果子所作所行的,都是神圣得荣的延续—— 十五8。

D. Whatever the church does in the matter of fruit-bearing is a continuation of the divine glorification—15:8.

柒 召会生活乃是基督团体的彰显—— 弗三16~21,四16,五27:

VII. The church life is the corporate expression of Christ—Eph. 3:16-21; 4:16; 5:27:

一 召会生活作基督彰显的关键乃是心思的灵—— 四23:

A. The key to the church life as the expression of Christ is the spirit of the mind— 4:23:

1 我们若照着心思的灵生活,召会生活里就有神圣特质的彰显—— 24节,西三10。

1. If we live according to the spirit of the mind, there will be in the church life an expression of the divine character—v. 24; Col. 3:10.

2 然后我们就是一个团体的人,有基督的味道和神的彰显。

2. We will be a corporate people with the flavor of Christ and the expression of God.

二 在我们卑微、温柔、恒忍和爱的美德里,该有作三一神具体化身之基督的彰显—— 弗四2~6。

B. In our virtues of lowliness, meekness, long-suffering, and love, there should be the expression of Christ as the embodiment of the Triune God—Eph. 4:2-6.

三 召会生活必须满了基督的香气与味道,并有神的特质;这样的生活乃是三一神经过我们人性的活出—— 腓一20~21上。

C. The church life must be filled with the aroma and flavor of Christ and with the character of God; such a living is the living of the Triune God through our humanity—Phil. 1:20-21a.

四 历世纪以来,主渴望得着这样的召会生活—— 弗一5、9:

D. For centuries the Lord has been longing for such a church life—Eph. 1:5, 9:

1 我们祷告,但愿不多久这种召会生活能在主的恢复里,在我们中间完全实行出来—— 西一9,四12,太六10。

1. We pray that before long this kind of church life will be fully practiced among us in the Lord's recovery—Col. 1:9; 4:12; Matt. 6:10.

2 愿主因看见祂自己这样借全地真正召会生活的恢复而得着彰显,就心满意足。

2. May the Lord be satisfied by seeing such an expression of Himself through the recovery of the genuine church life throughout the earth.
