Blending and the Reality of the Body of Christ
读经：林前一2，十17上，十二12~13、24、27，约十二24，腓三10，弗四20~21
壹 “神将这身体调和在一起”─林前十二24：
I. "God has blended the body together"—1 Cor. 12:24:
一 相调不仅非常高深，也非常奥秘─24节。
A. Blending is not only high and deep but also very mysterious— v. 24.
二 “调和”这辞的意思是“调整”、“使之和谐”、“调节”并“调在一起”，含示失去区别。
B. The word blended means "adjusted," "harmonized," "tempered," and "mingled," implying the losing of distinctions.
三 调和的意思是，我们总是停下来与别人交通─徒二42，林前一9，约壹一3、7。
C. Blending means that we should always stop in order to have fellowship with others—Acts 2:42; 1 Cor. 1:9; 1 John 1:3, 7.
四 若没有与其他一同配搭的圣徒交通，我们就不该作什么；因为交通调整我们，使我们和谐，调节我们，把我们调在一起─7节。
D. We should not do anything without fellowshipping with the other saints who are coordinating with us, because fellowship adjusts us, harmonizes us, tempers us, and mingles us—v. 7.
五 相调的意思是经过十字架，凭着那灵行事，并且作每件事都为着基督身体的缘故分赐基督，借此我们被别人摸着，我们也摸着别人─太十38，十六24，加三2、5，弗四12。
E. To be blended means that we are touched by others and that we are touching others by going through the cross, doing things by the Spirit, and doing everything to dispense Christ for His Body's sake—Matt. 10:38; 16:24; Gal. 3:2, 5; Eph. 4:12.
六 调和不是交际，乃是个别肢体、区内的众召会、同工们、长老们所经历、享受并有分于之基督的调和─参罗十六1~16。
F. Blending is not social but the blending of the Christ whom the individual members, the district churches, the co-workers, and the elders experience, enjoy, and partake of—cf. Rom. 16:1-16.
七 为要持守基督宇宙身体独一的一，我们需要调和在一起─林前十二24。
G. In order to keep the unique oneness of the universal Body of Christ, we need to be blended together—1 Cor. 12:24.
八 为着基督身体的建造，需要相调─罗十六1~16，林前十二20~21、24，西四16。
H. Blending is needed for the building up of the Body of Christ— Rom. 16:1-16; 1 Cor. 12:20-21, 24; Col. 4:16.
贰 约翰十二章二十四节和林前十章十七节上半描绘并启示调和的必需与意义：─引用经文
II. John 12:24 and 1 Corinthians 10:17a portray and reveal the necessity and the significance of blending:
一 约翰十二章二十四节说到一粒麦子落在地里死了，结出许多子粒：─引用经文
A. John 12:24 speaks of a grain of wheat that fell into the ground and died and bore many grains:
1 “一粒麦子”指基督是神圣的种子，产生许多子粒（就是接受祂的人），使他们成为祂许多的肢体，构成祂生机的身体─弗一22~23，五30。
1. Grain of wheat refers to Christ as the divine seed to produce many grains (the people who receive Him) to become His many members who constitute His organic Body—Eph. 1:22-23; 5:30.
2 基督作为这一粒麦子死了，在复活里结出许多子粒来─约十二24：
2. Christ as the grain of wheat died and brought forth many grains in resurrection— John 12:24:
a 这许多子粒要被磨碾并调和成粉，而作成一个饼，这饼表征基督的身体─林前十17上。
a. The grains are to be ground and blended into flour to make a loaf, which signifies the Body of Christ—1 Cor. 10:17a.
b 我们不该一直作完整的子粒；我们必须被破碎，并被磨碾成细面，使我们能与别人调和成为一饼；这饼就是基督的身体─十二12~13、27，弗二16，一22~23。
b. We should not remain as whole grains; we have to be broken and ground into fine flour so that we can be blended with others for making a loaf; this loaf is the Body of Christ—12:12-13, 27; Eph. 2:16; 1:22-23.
二 保罗看召会是调成的一个饼，调成的一个身体（林前十17上），这种想法乃是取自利未记二章一至十六节里素祭的预表：─引用经文
B. Paul's thought of the church being blended into one bread, one Body (1 Cor. 10:17a), was taken from the type of the meal offering in Leviticus 2:1-16:
1 素祭的细面，每一部分都是用油调和的；这就是相调─4~5节。
1. Every part of the fine flour of the meal offering was mingled with oil; this is the blending—vv. 4-5.
2 基督的生活和我们个人基督徒的生活，产生一个总和─召会生活作为团体的素祭，由那些被破碎、磨碾并调和的信徒所组成─1~2、4节，林前十二12。
2. Christ's life and our individual Christian life issue in a totality—the church life as a corporate meal offering composed of believers who have been broken, ground, and blended— vv. 1-2, 4; 1 Cor. 12:12.
叁 相调的目的是要把我们众人都引进基督身体的实际─罗十二5，林前十二12~13，弗二16，四12，西二19：
III. The purpose of the blending is to usher us all into the reality of the Body of Christ—Rom. 12:5; 1 Cor. 12:12-13; Eph. 2:16; 4:12; Col. 2:19:
一 我们必须在作为手续的众地方召会里，使我们能被带进基督身体的实际─林前一2，十二27。
A. We need to be in the local churches as the procedure to be brought into the reality of the Body of Christ—1 Cor. 1:2; 12:27.
二 主恢复的最高峰，能真正、实际、真实完成神经纶的，不是叫神以有形的作法产生许多地方召会，乃是让神产生生机的身体作祂的生机体─弗一10、22~23。
B. The highest peak of the Lord's recovery that can really, practically, and actually carry out God's economy is for God to produce not many local churches in a physical way but an organic Body to be His organism—Eph. 1:10, 22-23.
三 众地方召会不是神永远经纶的目标，乃是神达到祂经纶目标─建造基督的身体─的手续─太十六18，弗四12、16：
C. The local churches are not the goal of God's eternal economy; they are the procedure God takes to reach the goal of His economy—the building up of the Body of Christ—Matt. 16:18; Eph. 4:12, 16:
1 众召会乃是把我们带进基督身体的手续─林前一2，十二12~13、27。
1. The churches are the procedure to bring us into the Body of Christ—1 Cor. 1:2; 12:12-13, 27.
2 众召会是身体，但众召会也许没有基督身体的实际。
2. The churches are the Body, but they may not have the reality of the Body of Christ.
四 主急切地需要基督身体的实际在众地方召会出现；除非这个身体的实际有相当的出现，否则主耶稣不会回来─弗一22~23，四16，五27，启十九7。
D. The Lord urgently needs the reality of the Body of Christ to be expressed in the local churches; unless there is a substantial expression of the reality of the Body, the Lord Jesus will not return—Eph. 1:22-23; 4:16; 5:27; Rev. 19:7.
肆 神经纶的最高峰乃是基督身体的实际─弗一22~23，四16：
IV. The highest peak in God's economy is the reality of the Body of Christ—Eph. 1:22-23; 4:16:
一 我们相调的意义，乃是基督身体的实际─林前十二24：
A. The significance of our blending is the reality of the Body of Christ—1 Cor. 12:24:
1 这实际乃是一班蒙神救赎的人在生命和性情上，但不在神格上，被作成神─约一12~13，罗八16，彼后一4。
1. This reality is a group of God's redeemed people who have been made God in life and nature but not in the Godhead— John 1:12-13; Rom. 8:16; 2 Pet. 1:4.
2 他们所过的生活不是凭自己，乃是凭另一个生命─这生命就是三一神经过过程并终极完成，进入他们里面，并且以他们作祂的住处，祂的居所─林后十三14，约十四23，弗二21~22。
2. They live a life not by themselves but by another life—the life of the processed and consummated Triune God, who enters into them and takes them as His abode, His dwelling place— 2 Cor. 13:14; John 14:23; Eph. 2:21-22.
二 基督身体的实际乃是被成全之神人所过的团体生活，他们是真正的人，但他们不凭自己的生命，乃凭经过过程并终极完成之三一神的生命而活；经过过程并终极完成之神的属性借着他们的美德彰显出来─林后十三9、11，弗四12，彼前五10，约壹四12、17~18：
B. The reality of the Body of Christ is the corporate living by the perfected God-men, who are genuine men but are not living by their life but by the life of the processed and consummated Triune God, whose attributes have been expressed through their virtues—2 Cor. 13:9, 11; Eph. 4:12; 1 Pet. 5:10; 1 John 4:12, 17-18:
1 神的生命，带着其一切的属性，从这神人耶稣里面活出来，彰显为这神人的美德─弗四20~21。
1. God's life with all its attributes was lived within the God- man Jesus and expressed as this God-man's virtues—Eph. 4:20-21.
2 这生命原先只是在个人的耶稣里，现今正在复制于许多蒙了救赎和重生，里面有神圣生命的信徒身上─一7，约三6，西三4。
2. Originally, this life was only in Jesus; now this life is being reproduced in believers who have been redeemed and regenerated and possess the divine life within them—1:7; John 3:6; Col. 3:4.
3 得成全的神人就是借着不断操练弃绝己，凭另一个生命─基督复活的生命─活着，而得以成熟的人─约十一25。
3. Perfected God-men are those who have been matured by continually exercising to reject the self and live by another life— the resurrection life of Christ— John 11:25.
三 基督身体的实际乃是蒙重生、被变化、被模成、得荣耀的三部分神人，在基督的复活里，与三一神在永远联结里调和的生活─参士九9，诗九二10：
C. The reality of the Body of Christ is the mingling living in the eternal union of the regenerated, transformed, conformed, and glorified tripartite God-men with the Triune God in the resurrection of Christ—cf. Judg. 9:9; Psa. 92:10:
1 这调和乃是借着基督复活的大能而模成基督之死的团体生活─腓三10。
1. This mingling is a corporate living of the conformity to the death of Christ in the power of the resurrection of Christ— Phil. 3:10.
2 这种调和的生活乃是在基督的复活里，而这复活的实际就是那灵；这复活将终极完成的三一神分赐给信徒，并将那胜过死的生命释放到信徒里面─约十一25。
2. Such a mingling living is in the resurrection of Christ, and the reality of the resurrection is the Spirit; this resurrection imparts the consummated Triune God and releases the death- overcoming life into the believers— John 11:25.
3 被成全之神人所过这团体、调和的生活，要终极完成于新天新地里的新耶路撒冷，作神的扩增并彰显，直到永远─启二一1~2、9~11。
3. This corporate and mingling living by the perfected God-men consummates ultimately in the New Jerusalem in the new heaven and new earth as God's increase and expression for eternity—Rev. 21:1-2, 9-11.
4 被成全之神人所过的这种团体生活，就是基督身体的实际，要结束这时代，就是召会时代，且要把基督带回来，在国度时代与这些神人一同取得、据有并治理这地─诗二四1~2、7~10，七二1~8、11，启一7，十四14，二十4。
4. The corporate living of the perfected God-men as the reality of the Body of Christ will close this age, the age of the church, and bring Christ back to take, possess, and rule over the earth with these God-men in the kingdom age—Psa. 24:1-2, 7-10; 72:1-8, 11; Rev. 1:7; 14:14; 20:4.
