1贰 作为包罗万有之基督的预表,迦南美地乃是“流奶与蜜之地”—出三817三三3利二十24民十三27十四8申六3二六915二七3书五6
1
2一 奶与蜜都是两种生命—植物生命和动物生命—调和而产生的:
2
31 在申命记八章八节,蜜是和植物—小麦、大麦、葡萄树、无花果树、石榴树、橄榄树—摆在一起。
3
42 在三十二章十四节,奶是和动物—牛、羊—摆在一起。
4
53 蜜多是和植物生命有关的,而奶大部分是联于动物生命:
5
6a 这两种生命调和在一起,蜜蜂就从花蜜产生蜜。
6
7b 奶也是动物和植物两种生命的产品,但它主要是属于动物生命,是牛羊(动物生命)吃草(植物生命)所产生的。

8弗三8 这恩典赐给了我这比众圣徒中最小者还小的,叫我将基督那追测不尽的丰富,当作福音传给外邦人。
8Eph. 3:8 To me, less than the least of all saints, was this grace given to announce to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ as the gospel.
9出三8 我下来要救他们脱离埃及人的手,领他们从那地出来,上到美好、宽阔、流奶与蜜之地……。
9Exo. 3:8 And I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land to a good and spacious land, to a land flowing with milk and honey…
10美地乃是流奶与蜜之地。你能告诉我,奶与蜜是属于哪一界的生命么?它们是属于动物的生命,或是属于植物的生命?请注意圣灵在圣经里给它们安排的次序。在申命记八章八节,蜜是和植物摆在一起的,先是小麦、大麦、葡萄树、无花果树、石榴树、橄榄树,然后是蜜。而在三十二章十四节,奶是和动物摆在一起:牛的奶酪、羊的奶和羊羔的脂油。圣灵是非常公道的,祂将蜜和植物摆在一起,又将奶与脂油和动物摆在一起。……因为圣灵深深知道,蜜多是和植物生命有关联的。蜜多是出自于花和树。当然也牵涉到一部分的动物生命—那小动物,蜜蜂。没有花我们不可能有蜜,没有蜜蜂我们也不可能有蜜。……这两样彼此合作;这两种生命调和在一起,就产生蜜。但是蜜主要是属于植物生命(包罗万有的基督,七三至七四页)。
10The good land is a land flowing with milk and honey. Can you tell to which life the milk and the honey belong? Do they belong to the animal life or to the vegetable life? Notice how the Holy Spirit’ arranges them in the Word. In Deuteronomy 8:8 the honey is put with the plants: the wheat, the barley, the vines, the fig trees, the pomegranates, the olive trees, and then the honey. And in Deuteronomy 32:14 the milk is put with the animals: the cattle, the flock, the milk, and the butter. The Holy Spirit is very fair. He put the honey with the plants, and He put the milk with the butter and the animals. Why? Because the Holy Spirit is well aware that, for the most part, honey has to do with the plant life. It is derived mostly from the flowers and the trees. Of course, a part of the animal life is involved—that little animal, the bee. Without the flowers we cannot have honey, and without the bees we cannot have honey either…These two cooperate; these two lives are mingled together, and honey is produced. But honey, for the most part, belongs to the vegetable life. (CWWL, 1961-1962, vol. 4, “The All-inclusive Christ,” p. 247)

11奶又是怎么一回事呢?我们可以说,奶大部分是属于动物生命。但它实在是动物和植物两种生命的产品。我们若是没有草场,若是没有草,即使我们有牛有羊,也不能有奶与脂油。哪一种食物更好—是奶呢,还是树上的果子?……我相信我们都知道,奶是比其他植物生命的果子更好。为什么?因为借着奶和蜜,我们享受了两种生命的调和。你就看见,这两项是属于植物生命,也是属于动物生命。
11What about the milk? We can say that the greater part of milk belongs to the animal life. But indeed it is the product of both the animal life and the vegetable life. If we do not have the pasture, if we do not have the grass, even though we have the cattle and the flock, we cannot have milk and butter. Which is the better food: the milk or all the fruit of the trees…? I believe we all realize that milk is better than all the fruit of the vegetable life. Why? Because with both milk and honey, we enjoy the mingling of two kinds of life. You see then that both these items are of the vegetable and of the animal lives.
12这是什么意思呢?奶与蜜是说出基督生命的哪一方面呢?当你享受基督作小麦、大麦、葡萄树等等,同时你也享受祂作公牛、羊羔,你就要看见主是多么美善,主之于你是多么甘甜,多么丰富,正像奶与蜜一样。特别是当你灵里软弱的时候,你到主面前来经历并应用祂,你就觉得祂是奶与蜜。你感到基督生命的丰富与甘甜。哦,奶的美善和蜜的甘甜!基督是多么美善!基督是多么甘甜!祂是流奶与蜜之地。……你越经历祂作小麦和大麦等,并且同时经历祂作牛作羊,你就越经历基督作奶与蜜(包罗万有的基督,七四至七五页)。
12What is the meaning of this? What aspects of the life of Christ do the milk and the honey portray? When you enjoy Christ as the wheat, the barley, the vine, etc., and at the same time you enjoy Him as the bullock and as the lamb, you will realize that the Lord is so good, that the Lord is so sweet and so rich to you, just as milk and honey. Especially when you are weak in spirit and you come to the Lord to experience and apply Him, you sense that He is the milk and the honey. You sense the riches and the sweetness of the life of Christ—the goodness of milk and the sweetness of honey. Christ is so good. Christ is so sweet. He is a land flowing with milk and honey…The more you realize Him as the wheat and the barley and so forth, and at the same time as the cattle and the flock, the more you will enjoy Christ as milk and honey. (CWWL, 1961-1962, vol. 4, “The All-inclusive Christ,” pp. 247-248)
13我们来聚会之前,应当对主有经历,对主的话有享受,并且在祷告中和主有交通,使我们有……那些从主而来,并出于主的东西〔参林前十四26〕,借着这些,我们就能为聚会预备自己。到了会中,我们就不需要,也不该等候灵感,乃该运用灵,使用受过训练的心思尽功用,摆上我们所预备的,使主得着荣耀和满足,并使与会者得着益处,就是得着光照、滋养和建造。
13Before coming to the meeting, we should prepare ourselves for the meeting with such things [cf. 1 Cor. 14:26] from the Lord and of the Lord, either through our experience of Him or through our enjoyment of His word and fellowship with Him in prayer. After coming into the meeting, we need not wait, and should not wait, for inspiration; we should exercise our spirit and use our trained mind to function in presenting what we have prepared to the Lord for His glory and satisfaction and to the attendants for their benefit—their enlightenment, nourishment, and building up.
14这样,召会的聚会,就是展览基督的丰富,也是全体与会者在神面前并同着神,彼此分享基督,使众圣徒与召会得着建造(圣经恢复本,林前十四26注1)。
14Thus the meeting will be an exhibition of Christ in His riches and will be a mutual enjoyment of Christ shared by all the attendants before God and with God for the building up of the saints and the church. (1 Cor. 14:26, footnote 1)
