纲目
1叁 约翰在灵里,得着荣耀的基督作为在金灯台中间行走之大祭司的异象(启一9~二1),他看见升天的基督作为人子,“身穿长袍,直垂到脚,胸间束着金带”(一13,参10,四2十七3二一10):
1
2一 人子是基督在祂的人性里,金带表征祂的神性,胸是爱的表号:
2
31 在但以理十章,基督是腰间束带,为着神圣的工作得加力(出二八4但十5),以产生众召会,但在启示录一章,祂是胸间束带,借着祂的爱照顾祂所产生的众召会。
3
42 金带表征基督的神性成了祂神圣的力量,胸表征这金的力量是由祂的爱并凭祂的爱来运用并推动的,好喂养众召会。
4
5二 基督作为人子,在祂的人性里照顾众召会,为要顾惜众召会—13节上:
5
61 祂收拾灯台的灯,使灯正确合宜,就是在顾惜我们,使我们快乐、愉快、舒适—出三十7,参诗四二511
6
7a 主的同在带来一种柔细、温暖的气氛,顾惜我们的全人,给我们安息、安慰、医治、洁净和鼓励。
7

8
92 祂修剪灯台的灯芯,把一切拦阻我们照耀的消极事物剪掉—出二五38
9
10a 灯芯烧焦的部分,灯花,表征必须剪除的那些不照着神定旨的事物,就如我们的肉体、天然的人、己和旧造。
10
11b 祂把众召会中间一切的不同(过错、短处、失败、缺点)修剪掉,使众召会在素质、样子和彰显上完全相同—参林前一10林后十二18腓二2

12启一12~13 我……看见七个金灯台;灯台中间,有一位好像人子,身穿长袍,直垂到脚,胸间束着金带。
12Rev. 1:12-13 …I saw seven golden lampstands, and in the midst of the lampstands One like the Son of Man, clothed with a garment reaching to the feet, and girded about at the breasts with a golden girdle.
13弗五29 ……没有人恨恶自己的身体,总是保养顾惜,正像基督待召会一样。
13Eph. 5:29 …No one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, even as Christ also the church.
14我们在启示录一章看见,基督是顾惜和喂养最好的模型。在十二至十三节……我们看见,基督作为人子,身穿长袍,照顾灯台。这长袍乃是祭司袍(出二八33~35),这给我们看见,基督是我们尊大的大祭司。……祂也胸间束着金带。……金带是一片金子,成了束身的带子。人子是在祂的人性里,金带表征祂的神性。这金带是在祂的胸间,而胸是爱的表号(李常受文集一九九四至一九九七年第五册,二○九页)。
14Christ is the best model of cherishing and nourishing as seen in Revelation 1…[Verses 12 and 13 show] that Christ is taking care of the lampstands by being the Son of Man with a long garment. This garment is the priestly robe (Exo. 28:33-35), which shows that Christ is our great High Priest. He is also girded about at the breasts with a golden girdle…The golden girdle is one piece of gold to become a belt. The Son of Man is in His humanity, and the golden girdle signifies His divinity. This golden girdle is on His breasts, and the breasts are a sign of love. (CWWL, 1994-1997, vol. 5, “The Vital Groups,” pp. 154-155)

Today’s Reading
15旧约的祭司在供职时,腰间束带(出二八4)。在但以理十章五节,基督也是腰束精金带。腰间束带是为着作工得加力。基督已经完成产生众召会的神圣工作。如今祂正在凭爱照顾祂所产生的众召会。这就是为什么祂是胸间束带。今天基督是我们的大祭司,照顾祂劳苦建立的众召会。但如今祂照顾众召会,不是在腰间束带,乃是在表征爱的胸间束带。我盼望大家都看见,这些日子,甚至在我们中间,基督乃是在胸间束着金带。
15The priests in the Old Testament were girded at the loins for their ministry (Exo. 28:4). In Daniel 10:5 Christ also was girded at His loins, with fine gold. To be girded at the loins is to be strengthened for the work. Christ has finished His divine work in producing the churches. Now by His love He is caring for the churches that He has produced. This is why He is girded at the breasts. Today Christ is our High Priest taking care of His churches established by His labor. But now He takes care of the churches with the girdle not on His loins but on His breasts, signifying love. I hope we all could realize that in these days even among us, Christ is wearing a golden girdle on His breasts.
16金带是一个表号,表征基督的神性成了祂的力量。基督的力量完全是祂的神性。一片金子如今成了一条带子。基督在祂神性里的总和,成了一条带子。金带表征基督的神性成了祂的力量,而胸表征这金的力量是由祂的爱所运行、所推动。祂神圣的力量是由祂的爱所运行,也带着祂的爱运行,好喂养祂的众召会。
16The golden girdle is a sign, signifying Christ’s divinity becoming His energy. Christ’s energy is totally His divinity. A piece of gold is now a girdle. The totality of Christ in His divinity has become a girdle. The golden girdle signifies Christ’s divinity becoming His energy, and the breasts signify that this golden energy is exercised and motivated by His love. His divine energy is exercised by and with His love to nourish the churches.
17基督在人性里作“人子”,照顾作为灯台的众召会,以顾惜众召会(启一13上)。基督作我们的大祭司,照顾祂所建立的众召会,首先是在祂的人性里,顾惜众召会,使众召会快乐、愉快和舒适。……祂这样作,乃是借着收拾灯台的灯。在旧约里,大祭司每天早晨收拾灯台的灯(出三十7)。收拾灯就是使灯的情形正确合宜。……基督借着修剪灯台的灯芯,来照顾灯台,正如在旧约里祭司照着预表所作的一样(二五38)。灯芯烧过以后,就变焦发黑,所以祭司必须来把灯芯焦黑的部分剪掉。这就是修剪灯芯的意思,为要使灯照得更明。灯芯烧焦的部分,表征那些不照着神定旨的东西,需要剪除;这些东西就如我们的肉体、天然的人、己和旧造。……一个召会若有了烧焦的灯芯,必会觉得不舒适。
17Christ takes care of the churches as the lampstands in His humanity as the Son of Man to cherish them (Rev. 1:13a). Christ as our High Priest takes care of the churches that He has established first in His humanity to cherish the churches, to make the churches happy, pleasant, and comfortable. He does this by dressing the lamps of the lampstand. The high priest in the Old Testament dressed the lamps of the lampstands every morning (Exo. 30:7). To dress the lamps is to make them proper. Christ cares for the lampstands by trimming the wicks of the lamps of the lampstand, just as the priest did according to the type in the Old Testament (Exo. 25:38). When the wick was burned out, it became charred and black, so the priest had to come to cut off the black part of the wick. This is what it means to snuff the wick so that the lamp may shine better. The charred part of the wick, the snuff, signifies things that are not according to God’s purpose which need to be cut off, such as our flesh, our natural man, our self, and our old creation…A church with charred wicks will not feel comfortable.
18我感谢主,今天在祂的恢复里,祂乃是在人性里的大祭司。希伯来四章说,我们并非有一位不能同情我们软弱的大祭司,祂乃是在各方面受过试诱,与我们一样,只是没有罪(15)。我们的基督与我们是一样的。祂在凡事上受过试诱,与我们一样,所以祂很容易同情我们的软弱。这意思是说,祂在人性里总是同情我们的软弱。祂是在人性里的大祭司,借着一直顾惜我们,来照顾我们(李常受文集一九九四至一九九七年第五册,二○九至二一一页)。
18I thank the Lord that today in His recovery He is the High Priest in His humanity. Hebrews 4 says that we do not have a High Priest who cannot be touched with the feeling of our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all respects like us, yet without sin (v. 15). Our Christ is the same as we are. He has been tempted in everything like us, so He can easily be touched with the feeling of our weaknesses. This means that He always sympathizes with our weaknesses in His humanity. He is the High Priest in His humanity taking care of us by cherishing us all the time.

今日要点
22主题:约翰所看见的,乃是得着荣耀、作大祭司的基督
22
23引经:启一12~13
23
241.约翰在灵里看见得荣的基督作大祭司:
24
25A.约翰被流放在拔摩海岛上,他在灵里,就得着荣耀的基督作为金灯台中间行走之大祭司的异象,在启一12,他看见这位升天的基督作为人子,身穿长袍,直垂到脚,腰间束着金带。
25
26B.金带表征祂的神性,人子说出祂的人性,在但以理十章,基督是腰间束带,为着神圣的工作得着加力,但在启示录一章的基督是胸间束带,这指明祂的神性成了祂神圣的力量,由祂的爱并凭祂的爱来运用并推动,好照顾众召会。
26
272.作为大祭司,基督在人性里顾惜:
27
28A.在启一13,基督作为人子,在祂的人性里照顾众召会,以顾惜众召会,祂行走在金灯台中间,收拾灯台的灯,使灯能够正确合宜,就是在顾惜我们,使我们快乐、愉快、舒适,我们在召会生活中也该经历基督作人子,得到如弗五29所说的保养顾惜。
28
29B.灯台的灯芯烧过之后,就会变焦发黑,所以祭司必须把灯芯焦黑的部分剪掉,因此祂修剪灯台的灯芯,表征把一切拦阻我们照耀的消极事物剪掉,使灯不仅照得更明,更除去一切不同之消极因素,而在素质、样子和彰显上完全相同。
