8林前一2 写信给在哥林多神的召会,就是给在基督耶稣里被圣别,蒙召的圣徒……。
81 Cor. 1:2 To the church of God which is in Corinth, to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, the called saints…
9十二27 只是那灵的表显赐给各人,是要叫人得益处。
912:27 Now you are the Body of Christ, and members individually.
10弗一23 召会是祂的身体,是那在万有中充满万有者的丰满。
10Eph. 1:22-23 …The church, which is His Body, the fullness of the One who fills all in all.
11神渴望将……一切神重生的儿女建造在一起,在基督里成为一。因此,这些亲爱的人不该是单独、分开、分散的,乃该在他们所在的地方上被聚集在一起,成为众地方召会(启一11)。
11God desires to build all [the] regenerated children of God together as one in Christ. Thus, these dear ones should not be individual, separated, and scattered, but should be gathered together in their localities to be the local churches (Rev. 1:11).
12我们也许以为,众地方召会是神经纶的目标。然而,众地方召会不是目标,乃是神达到祂经纶之目标所采取的手续。
12We may think that the local churches are the goal of God’s economy. However, they are not the goal but the procedure God takes to reach the goal of His economy.
13相调的目的是要将我们众人引进基督身体的实际。我宝贵众地方召会,和你们一样。但我宝贵众地方召会,是因着一个目的:众地方召会是将我带进基督身体的手续。众召会是身体,但众召会也许没有基督身体的实际。因此,我们需要在众地方召会里,使我们能被引进或带进基督身体的实际(李常受文集一九九四至一九九七年第一册,一二八至一三○页)。
13The purpose of the blending is to usher us all into the reality of the Body of Christ. I treasure the local churches, as you do. But I treasure the local churches because of a purpose. The local churches are the procedure to bring me into the Body of Christ. The churches are the Body, but the churches may not have the reality of the Body of Christ. Thus, we need to be in the local churches so that we can be ushered, or brought, into the reality of the Body of Christ. (CWWL, 19941997, vol. 1, “The Practical Points concerning Blending,” pp. 103-104)

14主今日恢复中召会工作经常的手续包括四个步骤:生、养、教(成全)、建。生是使罪人得救并重生,成为基督的肢体(林前四15下太二八19);养是喂养初信者,使他们在神圣的生命里长大(帖前二7约二一1517);教是成全圣徒,使他们能成熟被建造(太二八20上弗四12~16)。生、养、及成全的步骤,都是为着另一更高的步骤,就是为着在众地方召会里(启一4上11)基督身体的建造(弗四12下16)。然而,我们需要问自己:“这样的建造在哪里?今天基督的身体在哪里?在众多的地方召会里,在众地方召会中间,基督身体的实际在哪里?”
14The regular procedures of the church work in the Lord’s recovery today consist of four steps: begetting, nourishing, teaching (perfecting), and building. Begetting is to have sinners saved and regenerated to become the members of Christ (1 Cor. 4:15b; Matt. 28:19); nourishing is to feed the new believers for their growth in the divine life (1 Thes. 2:7; John 21:15, 17); and teaching is to perfect the saints that they may mature to be built (Matt. 28:20a; Eph. 4:12-16). The steps of begetting, nourishing, and perfecting are all for another higher step, that is, for the building up of the Body of Christ (vv. 12b, 16) in the local churches (Rev. 1:4a, 11). However, we need to ask ourselves, “Where is such a building? Where is the Body of Christ today? Within and among the many local churches, where is the reality of the Body of Christ?”
15你可能争辩说,召会就是基督的身体。不错,召会是基督的身体;但要在基督身体的实际里,就不只是建立地方召会,设立长老,并以某种方式实行召会生活而已。……即使我们的福音传得很好,但也许没有多少基督身体的实际。
15You may argue that the church is the Body of Christ. Yes, it is; but to be in the reality of the Body of Christ is not just a matter of setting up local churches with the establishing of elders and the practice of the church life in a particular way…Even though our preaching of the gospel may be very good, there may not be much reality of the Body of Christ.
16今天在众召会中,我们可能有许多圣徒在“小学”,许多在“初中”,许多在“高中”,但是能教育人达到“硕士学位”的标准,甚至“博士学位”最高标准的“大学”在哪里?……我们不该那么注意于仅仅建立召会,并安排许多外面的事。这些与基督身体的实际无关。
16In the churches today we may have many saints in “elementary school,” many in “junior high school,” and many in “high school,” but where is the “university” that can educate people up to the standard of a “master’s degree”…?…We should not pay so much attention to the mere establishing of the churches and the arranging of many outward things. These have nothing to do with the reality of the Body of Christ.
17这不是说,我们该关闭众地方召会的门,那会使情况更糟。这好像说,既然我们不可能有大学,就让我们忘掉高中、初中、小学吧。那会使我们成为原始、落后的。……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。我们都有物质的身体,但事实上我们的身体不是我们这人的实际。我的身体是我,但不是我这人的实际。照样,全球所建立的众召会是有形的骨架,但在众召会中间也许没有基督身体的实际。我们若对自己诚实,就必须承认这是我们今天的光景(李常受文集一九九四至一九九七年第一册,一三七至一三九页)。
17This does not mean that we should close the doors of all the local churches. That would make the situation worse. This would be like saying that, since there is no possibility for us to have universities, let us forget about high school, junior high, and elementary school. That would make us primitive and backward. 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. We all have a physical body, but our body actually is not the reality of our being. My body is me, but it is not the reality of my being. Likewise, the churches set up around the globe are a physical frame, but among the churches there may be no reality of the Body of Christ. If we are honest with ourselves, we must admit that this is our situation today. (CWWL, 19941997, vol. 1, “The Practical Points concerning Blending,” pp. 111-112)

19参读:关于相调的实行,第一至二、四至五章。
19
今日要点
20主题:相调的目的-引进基督身体的实际
20
221.相调的目的-引进基督身体的实际
22
23A.神渴望将一切神重生的儿女建造在一起,在基督里成为一,因此,这些人不该是单独、分开、分散的,乃该在所在地被聚集在一起,成为众地方召会,但是,林前十二24的背景,不仅是保罗论到召会被建立,更要作为基督的身体,有身体的实际,为此,相调的目的,是要把众人引进基督身体的实际。
23
24b.首先,我们必须在作为手续的地方召会里,使我们能够被带进基督身体的实际,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众弟兄召会,乃是让神产生生机的身体作祂的生机体,因此,众地方召会不是神永远经纶的目标,而是达到目标—建造基督身体—的手续,好使主得以回来。
24
252.在召会生活这骨架之下,带进基督身体的实际:
25
26A.我们可以用螃蟹作比方,螃蟹外面有壳,里面有肉;若一只螃蟹没有肉,只有壳,就是一个死螃蟹,若一只螃蟹没有壳,只有肉,这螃蟹也活不成,因此螃蟹的壳和肉两者同样需要,但是我们在吃螃蟹时,不需要吃壳,只需要吃肉,若我们缺少实际,只有召会生活作外壳,就是死的,若没有召会生活作为外壳,也不可能有实际,因此,召会是有形的骨架,里面需要有基督身体的实际。
26
27B.我们可能会争辩说,召会就是基督的身体,不错,经文的确这样说,但要在基督身体的实际里,就不仅是在福、家、排、区的架构下实行生、养、教、建而已,也不仅是建立召会、设立长老、实行召会生活而已,我们需要在这个骨架之下,有里面的实际,就是基督身体的实际,为此我们需要相调。
