第八周　周六

纲目

1肆彼得在他的书信中论到无上宝贵的基督，以及那些在生机上与祂有关联的项目：

2一基督自己在信祂的人是宝贵的—彼前二7。

3二为着神建造之宝贵的石头，乃是基督自己—4、6~8节。

4三基督的宝血已救赎我们脱离虚妄的生活—一14、18~19。

5四我们的神和救主，耶稣基督，已将那又宝贵又极大的应许赐给我们—彼后一1、4。

6五神已将同样宝贵的信，分给所有的信徒—1节。

7六我们信心所受宝贵的试验，乃是借着苦难而来的诸般试炼—彼前一7。

8伍我们必须赎回光阴，享受基督作神无上的宝贝，使我们能被祂构成，成为珍贵的人，甚至就是珍贵的本身，作祂自己的珍宝，使我们成为新耶路撒冷这奇妙的珍宝结构，使祂得着荣耀—但九23，十11、19：

9一我们需要求主给我们亮光，叫我们的价值观有彻底的改变，叫我们不断地拣选基督并祂一切的所是，作我们绝佳的分—可九7~8，腓三7~8，林后二10，四7，彼前一8。

10二我们尽职供应神的话时，要留意耶利米的警戒—“你若将宝贵的从低贱的分别出来，你就可以作我的口”—耶十五19、16。

11三我们必须看重主的话，过于一切地上的财富，使我们能讲神的谕言，将基督那追测不尽的丰富作为神诸般的恩典，分赐到祂的子民里面—诗一一九72、9~16，弗三2、8，林后六10，彼前四10~11。

12四我们需要看见一个异象，新耶路撒冷乃是三一神，神圣的三一，作为三种基本的因素，作到蒙祂救赎的人里面，并与他们结构在一起；这是整本圣经的总结—作为城之基础的金预表父神，作为城门的珍珠预表子神，城的碧玉墙预表灵神—启二一18~21。

13五当我们活在基督宝贵、现今的同在里，享受祂作我们的分，正如祂享受我们作祂的珍宝，祂就将自己建造到我们里面，把我们作成祂属灵的殿和祂圣别、君尊的祭司体系，以完成祂心头的渴望—彼前二1~9，三4，林后二10，诗十六5，出十九4~6，彼后三8、11~12。

14耶十五19 ……你若将宝贵的从低贱的分别出来，你就可以作我的口……。

14Jer. 15:19 …If you bring out the precious from the worthless, you will be as My mouth…

15启二一18 墙是用碧玉造的，城是纯金的，如同明净的玻璃。

15Rev. 21:18 And the building work of its wall was jasper; and the city was pure gold, like clear glass.

1621 十二个门是十二颗珍珠……。

1621 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls…

17在〔腓立比三章七至八节〕我们看见，保罗……改变了他的价值观；从前他以为对他是赢得的，现在因基督都已经看作亏损了。保罗为什么能丢弃从前对他是赢得的东西，他为什么能以属世的一切为亏损？这乃是因为他以认识基督耶稣为至宝。他以神所立为主为王的基督为至宝，因此他亏损万事，并且看作粪土。这乃是标准基督徒价值观的改变。

17[In Philippians 3:7-8] we see that Paul…had a change in his concept of value. What things were gains to him, these he counted as loss on account of Christ. Why was Paul able to reject the things that were gains to him? He was able to consider them as loss on account of the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus. Paul reckoned the Christ whom God had anointed as Lord, as King, and as the most excellent One. For His sake he suffered the loss of all things and counted them as refuse. This is the kind of change in valuation that happens to a Christian…

18今天你我如果不会分别价值的问题，神就会弃而不用我们了。神要求我们能分别尊卑贵贱，好作祂的口〔耶十五19〕。……求神给我们亮光，叫我们的价值观有彻底的改变，叫我们知道如何拣选上好的（倪柝声文集第三辑第十四册，二○一页）。

18If we cannot tell the proper value of things, God will reject us and cast us aside. He requires that we bring out the precious from the worthless so that we can be His mouth [Jer. 15:19]…May the Lord grant us the light to have a thorough change in our concept of value so that we will know to choose the most excellent portion. (CWWN, vol. 60, p. 395)

Today’s Reading

19新耶路撒冷结构的基本元素是金、珍珠和宝石。金是指父神的神圣性情，珍珠是指基督在祂得胜之死和分泌生命之复活里的产品。……宝石（启二一11、18上、19~20）表征那灵为着建造神的建筑，用祂神圣的元素所作变化工作的产品（创二12下，林前三12上，彼前二4~5，林后三18）。

19The basic elements of the structure of the New Jerusalem are gold, pearls, and precious stones. Gold refers to the divine nature of God the Father, and pearls refer to the produce of Christ in His overcoming death and life-secreting resurrection…Precious stones (Rev. 21:11, 18a, 19-20) signify the produce of the Spirit in His transforming work with His divine element for the building up of God’s building (Gen. 2:12b; 1 Cor. 3:12a; 1 Pet. 2:4-5; 2 Cor. 3:18).

20子神救赎的工作是包罗万有的。祂要我们留在祂的死里，使祂能分泌出“生命的汁液”来包裹我们。这就是基督分泌生命的工作。因为我们不容易领会这种工作，所以我们需要这样一个寓意的说法。没有这个寓意，我们就无法看见，基督复活的生命实际上就是神圣生命的元素，分泌出来包裹我们，使我们成为珍珠。

20The redemptive work of God the Son is all-inclusive. His desire is for us to stay in His death so that He might secrete His “life-juice” over us. This is the life-secreting work of Christ. Because this work is hard for us to realize, we need such an allegory. Without this allegory we would not be able to see that Christ’s resurrection life is actually the divine life element secreted over us to make us pearls.

21我们若核对自己的经历，就能更完全地明白基督分泌的工作。……比方，一位青年弟兄觉得他的父亲在某一件事上错了，也许他觉得需要控诉或反叛；但他若这样作，就是从基督的死里逃出来。反过来说，这位弟兄若在基督的死里留在十字架之下，并且说，“主，我赞美你，你把我保守在你的死里。我赞美你，现今我住在你包罗万有的死里”，他里面立刻会有东西分泌出来包裹他里面的人，叫他感觉到里面的供应。他一次又一次经历这种内里的分泌，就越过越成为一颗珍珠。这就是复活的基督在祂复活生命里的分泌。

21If we check with our experience, we will be able to understand more fully Christ’s secreting work…It may be that a certain young brother feels that his father is wrong in a certain matter. He may feel that he needs to complain or rebel, but if he does this, he is running away from the death of Christ. However, if this brother stays under the cross in the death of Christ and says, “Lord, I praise You that You have kept me in Your death; I praise You that I am now residing in Your all-inclusive death,” immediately something within him will be secreting around his inner being, and he will sense the inner supply. As he experiences this inner secretion time after time, he will become a pearl more and more. This is the secretion of the resurrected Christ in His resurrection life.

22就是在我们的婚姻生活中，我们也必须记得，要享受基督在复活里借着祂的死而有的分泌工作，我们就必须停留在祂的死里，不要逃走。……我们都需要看见，基督那奇妙、包罗万有的死是我们“甜美的家”。一位姊妹的丈夫无论对她说什么，她都需要停留在基督的死里。她若这样作，就会感觉到基督复活生命的分泌。只要她留在基督的死里，她的丈夫越为难她，她就越有享受。我这交通不是道理的教导，乃是我们对基督主观经历的说明。感谢主，今天祂揭开了幔子，给我们看见得胜的路，并作得胜者的路。我们不需要“咬紧牙关”来努力挣扎。我们只需要留在家里，留在基督的死里，我们就会在复活里享受神圣生命的分泌（李常受文集一九八四年第三册，五七八、五八二至五八四页）。

22Even in our marriage life we must remember that in order to enjoy the secreting work of Christ in His resurrection through His death, we must remain and stay in His death. Do not run away…We all need to see that the marvelous, all-inclusive death of Christ is our “home sweet home.” Regardless of what a sister’s husband would say to her, she needs to stay, to remain, in Christ’s death. If she would do this, she would sense the secreting of Christ’s resurrection life. The more trouble her husband would give her, the more enjoyment she would have as long as she remains in the death of Christ. This fellowship is not a doctrine or a teaching but an explanation of our subjective experience of Christ. Thank the Lord that today He has opened the veils and has shown us the way to be victorious and to be an overcomer. We do not need to “gnash our teeth” to endeavor or to struggle. We only need to stay home, to remain in the death of Christ. Then we enjoy the secreting of the divine life in resurrection. (CWWL, 1984, vol. 3, “God’s New Testament Economy,” pp. 425, 428-429)

今日要点

26主题：享受彼得所看见无上宝贵的基督，被构成为祂的珍宝，终极完成为新耶路撒冷

27引经：耶十五19，启二一18，21

281.彼得论到无上宝贵的基督，以及那些在生机上与祂有关的项目：

29A. 彼得也在书信中论到这位无上宝贵的基督，以及那些在生机上与祂有关联的项目，包括基督自己在信祂的人是宝贵的，基督也是为着神建造之宝贵的石头，基督的宝血已经救赎我们脱离虚妄的生活

30B.这位在彼得眼中，这位神和救主，无上宝贵的耶稣基督，已经将又宝贵又极大的应许赐给我们，此外，神也将同样宝贵的信分给所有的信徒，最后，在环境中我们的信心所受的试验，也是宝贵的。

312. 享受基督作无上的宝贝，好成为珍贵的人：

32A. 在但九23，说到但以理这大蒙眷爱的，直译为珍贵，也就是说，我们必须赎回光阴，享受基督作神无上的宝贝，使我们能被祂构成，成为珍贵的人，甚至就是珍贵的本身，作祂自己的珍宝，使我们成为新耶路撒冷这奇妙的珍宝结构，使祂得着荣耀，求主给我们亮光，使我们的价值观有彻底的转变，不断地拣选基督并祂一切的所是，作我们的分。

33B.在耶十五19，我们也要将宝贵的从低贱的分别出来，看重主的话过于一切地上的财富，好讲说神的谕言，将基督那追彻不尽的丰富分赐给人，当我们活在基督这宝贵现今的同在，享受祂作我们的分，正如祂享受我们作祂的珍宝，祂就建造到我们里面，把我们作成祂属灵的殿，圣别君尊的祭司体系，好终极完成新耶路撒冷，如启二一18，21。

34应用：保罗蒙了光照，看见这位宝贵的基督，就将丢弃万事，看作亏损，甚至视为粪土，为要赢得基督，今天我们也需要求神给我们亮光，叫我们的价值观有彻底的改变，叫我们知道如何拣选上好的，我们在婚姻生活中，也必须因着专注基督，就能留在主那甜美的死里，而不是咬紧牙关努力挣扎，我们就能享受这位宝贵的基督神圣生命的分泌，使我们被包裹而成为珍珠。
