第五篇 召会生活的恢复
The Recovery of the Church Life
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:

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

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:

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:

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。
