Experiencing Christ as Our Life, Our Person, for the One New Man
读经∶西三1～4、10～11
壹 我们要经历基督作我们的生命，我们的人位，就需要看见我们与基督同有一个地位，一个生命，一个生活，一个定命和一个荣耀─西三1～4，参林前六17:
I. In order to experience Christ as our life, our person, we need to see that we have one position, one life, one living, one destiny, and one glory with Christ—Col. 3:1-4; cf. 1 Cor. 6:17:
一 我们的地位乃是在基督里；因着我们在祂里面，所以祂在哪里，我们就在哪里─坐在神的右边─西三1，约十七24，弗二6：
A. Our position is that we are in Christ; because we are in Him, we are where He is—sitting at the right hand of God—Col. 3:1; John 17:24; Eph. 2:6:
1 子的地位乃是在父里面（约十38，十四10）；我们是在子里面（林前一30上），所以我们也就在父里面（约十四20，帖前一1，帖后一1）。─引用经文
1. The Son's position is in the Father (John 10:38; 14:10); we are in the Son (1 Cor. 1:30a), so we are in the Father (John 14:20; 1 Thes. 1:1; 2 Thes. 1:1).
2 当我们在灵里，我们在实际上、经历上，就在基督里，在父里，并在天上：
2. It is when we are in the spirit that we are in Christ, in the Father, and in heaven practically and experientially:
a 从天上的基督那里，到地上我们这里，借着我们灵里包罗万有的灵，有一种传输在进行着─弗一19、22～23，二22。
a. There is a transmission taking place from Christ in heaven to us on earth by means of the all-inclusive Spirit in our spirit—Eph. 1:19, 22-23; 2:22.
b 那在天上坐在宝座上的基督（罗八34），现今也在我们里面（10），也就是在我们灵里（提后四22），这灵就是神居住的所在（弗二22）。─引用经文
b. The very Christ who is sitting on the throne in heaven (Rom. 8:34) is also now in us (v. 10), that is, in our spirit (2 Tim. 4:22), where the habitation of God is (Eph. 2:22).
c 今天我们的灵既是神居住的所在，现今也就是天的门，在那里基督是梯子，把我们联于天，并把天带给我们─22节，创二八12～17，约一51。
c. Since today our spirit is the place of God's habitation, it is now the gate of heaven, where Christ is the ladder that joins us to heaven and brings heaven to us—v. 22; Gen. 28:12-17; John 1:51.
d 每当我们转到我们灵里，我们就能借着基督作天梯，进入天的门，摸着天上施恩的宝座；我们的灵是在接受神圣传输的一端，而神的宝座是在输送的一端─来四16。
d. Whenever we turn to our spirit, we enter through the gate of heaven and touch the throne of grace in heaven through Christ as the heavenly ladder; our spirit is the receiving end of the divine transmission, whereas the throne of God is the transmitting end—Heb. 4:16.
二 神的生命就是基督的生命，而基督的生命成了我们的生命─约五26，西三4：
B. The life of God is the life of Christ, and the life of Christ has become our life—John 5:26; Col. 3:4:
1 基督是我们的生命，意思就是说，祂对我们是主观到了极点的─约一4，十四6上，十10下，林前十五45下，罗八10、6、11。
1. For Christ to be our life means that He is subjective to us to the uttermost—John 1:4; 14:6a; 10:10b; 1 Cor. 15:45b; Rom. 8:10, 6, 11.
2 不可能把一个人和他的生命分开，因为人的生命就是人自己；因此，说基督是我们的生命，意思就是说，基督成了我们，我们与祂同有一个生命和生活─约十四6上，腓一21上。
2. It is impossible to separate a person from the life of that person, for a person's life is the person himself; thus, to say that Christ is our life means that Christ has become us and that we have one life and living with Him—John 14:6a; Phil. 1:21a.
3 基督是信徒的生命，有三种特点，将这生命与我们天然的生命区别出来：
3. With Christ as the believers' life, there are three characteristics that distinguish this life from the natural life:
a 这生命是钉十字架的生命─加二20。
a. This life is a crucified life—Gal. 2:20.
b 这生命是复活的生命─约十一25。
b. This life is a resurrected life—John 11:25.
c 这生命是藏在神里面的生命─西三3～4，太六1～6、16～18。
c. This is a life hidden in God—Col. 3:3-4; Matt. 6:1-6, 16-18.
三 寻求在上面的事，并思念那些事，就是加入主天上的职事，也就是祂神圣的事业；这就是活基督，过与基督的生活是一的生活，为着一个新人─西三1～2、10～11:
C. To seek the things which are above and set our mind on them is to join ourselves to the Lord in His heavenly ministry, His divine enterprise; this is to live Christ, to have a living that is one with Christ's living for the one new man—Col. 3:1-2, 10-11:
1 在基督天上的职事里，祂今天是活着作大祭司，为众召会代求─来八1，四14，七25，四16，西四2。
1. In His heavenly ministry Christ today is living as the High Priest to intercede for the churches—Heb. 8:1; 4:14; 7:25; 4:16; Col. 4:2.
2 在基督天上的职事里，祂今天是活着作属天的执事，以基督的丰富供应圣徒─来八1～2，弗三8。
2. In His heavenly ministry Christ today is living as the heavenly Minister to supply the saints with the riches of Christ—Heb. 8:1-2; Eph. 3:8.
3 在基督天上的职事里，祂今天是活着作神宇宙行政的管理者，为了完成神的定旨─启四1～2、5，五6，一10～11:
3. In His heavenly ministry Christ today is living as the universal Administrator of God's government for the accomplishment of God's purpose—Rev. 4:1-2, 5; 5:6; 1:10-11:
a 从诸天上的宝座那里，神圣的传输正把在上面的事带进众地方召会中─弗一19、22～23。
a. From the throne in the heavens, the divine transmission brings the things above into the local churches—Eph. 1:19, 22-23.
b 启示录四至五章里，有中央政府的异象；在一至三章里，有众地方召会作"大使馆"的异象；借着七灵，有一种传输从天上的总部传到众召会这些大使馆。─引用经文
b. In Revelation 4 and 5 we have a vision of our central government, and in Revelation 1 through 3 we have a vision of the local churches as the "embassies"; through the seven Spirits what is in the heavenly headquarters is transmitted into the churches as the embassies.
c 众地方召会中所发生的事，该受天上神宝座的指引；这恢复要成为"主的"恢复，就必须受主指引─西一18，二19，启四2～3。
c. What takes place in the local churches should be under the direction of the throne of God in heaven; in order for the recovery to be the Lord's recovery, it must be under His direction—Col. 1:18; 2:19; Rev. 4:2-3.
四 我们的定命乃是荣耀；基督正在领我们进荣耀里去，叫我们与祂一同显现在荣耀里─来二10．西三4。
D. Our destiny is glory; Christ is leading us into glory for us to be manifested with Him in glory—Heb. 2:10; Col. 3:4.
贰 我们的生命乃是住在我们里面的基督，这生命与基督一同藏在神里面；隐藏在神里面的基督，由隐藏在金罐里的吗哪所预表─3～4节，出十六32～34，启二17:
II. Our life is the Christ who dwells within us, and this life is hidden with Christ in God; the Christ hidden in God is typified by the manna hidden in the golden pot—vv. 3-4; Exo. 16:32-34; Rev. 2:17:
一 作为隐藏吗哪的基督，是在作为金罐的父神里面；父在作为约柜的基督里面，基督有神圣与属人的两种性情；基督作为内住的灵，活在我们重生的灵里，成为至圣所的实际─参约十四16～20，提后四22。
A. Christ as the hidden manna is in God the Father as the golden pot; the Father is in Christ as the Ark with His two natures, divinity and humanity; and Christ as the indwelling Spirit lives in our regenerated spirit to be the reality of the Holy of Holies—cf. John 14:16-20; 2 Tim. 4:22.
二 当我们吃基督这隐藏的吗哪时，我们就合并到祂里面，作神与人相互的住处─约十五5、7，八31，六57、63，十四23。
B. When we eat Christ as the hidden manna, we are incorporated into Him for the mutual abode of God and man—John 15:5, 7; 8:31; 6:57, 63; 14:23.
叁 基督是我们的生命，有力地指明我们要以祂为生命而凭祂活着，要在日常生活中活祂─西三4上：
III. That Christ is our life is a strong indication that we are to take Him as life and live by Him, that we are to live Him in our daily life—Col. 3:4a:
一 基督必须在实际上、在经历上是我们的生命；一天过一天，我们需要在祂的生命里得救─4节上，林前十五45下，罗五10：
A. Christ must be our life in a practical and experiential way; day by day we need to be saved in His life—v. 4a; 1 Cor. 15:45b; Rom. 5:10:
1 在神圣的生命里得救，脱离罪的奴役、罪的律，乃是借着终极完成之灵的律的释放─八2。
1. To be saved in the divine life from the slavery of sin, the law of sin, is by the release of the law of the consummated Spirit—8:2.
2 在神圣的生命里得救，脱离世界现今的世代，乃是借着终极完成之灵的圣别─十二2上，六19下、22下。
