纲目
1伍 那些牧养神群羊的人，该按着神牧养—彼前五2，腓一21上：
1
2一 按着神牧养，意即按着神的性情、心意、作法和荣耀，而不是按着我们的偏好、兴趣、目的和个性牧养——彼后一4，弗一5、9，三21，约十四6。
2
3二 彼前五章二节里“按着神”的意思是我们活神；唯有活神的人，才能按着神牧养：
3
41 神的经纶是要将祂自己作到我们里面，使我们可以接受祂作我们的生命和生命的供应，好使我们活祂——约十一25，六48、57。
4
52 我们现今正有分于神圣的生命和神圣的性情，使我们能在人性里活神 ——加二20。
5
6三 我们要按着神牧养，就需要在生命、性情、彰显和功用上成为神，但无分于神格——西三4，彼后一4：
6
71 我们需要被神圣的生命充盈，享受三一神作源、泉、川，而成为神圣生命的总和，甚至成为神圣生命的本身——约四14,西三4。
7
82 我们需要在神那爱、光、义、圣的属性上成为神——约壹四8,一5，罗三21、25～26，弗一4，五27，彼前一15～16。
8
93 我们需要成为基督的复制，就是神的彰显，使我们在牧养上彰显神，而不是彰显我们的己，连同其个性与乖僻——罗八19、29，林后三18，太十六24。
9
104 我们需要在神的功用上成为神，照着祂的所是并照着祂经纶中的目标，牧养神的群羊——弗一10。
10
11四 我们若要按着神牧养，就需要与神成为一——约十四20，林前六17：
11
121 圣经的基本原则是神在祂的经纶里，使祂自己与人成为一，并使人与祂成为一——约十五4，林前六17。
12
132 神渴望神圣的生命与属人的生命能联为一个生命，过一个生活——约六57，加二20。
13
143 当我们与神是一，我们就在生命和性情上成为神，并且在牧养别人时，就是神——约壹五11～12，彼后一4，彼前五2。

15彼前五2 务要牧养你们中间神的群羊，按着神监督他们，不是出于勉强，乃是出于甘心……。
151 Pet. 5:2 Shepherd the flock of God among you, overseeing not under compulsion but willingly, according to God…
16彼后一4 借这荣耀和美德，祂已将又宝贵又极大的应许赐给我们，……就借着这些应许，得有分于神的性情。
162 Pet. 1:4 Through which He has granted to us precious and exceedingly great promises that through these you might become partakers of the divine nature…
17牧养神的群羊〔彼前五2〕需要为基督的身体受苦，如基督所行的一样（西一24）。
17To shepherd the flock of God [1 Pet. 5:2] requires suffering for the Body of Christ, as Christ suffered (Col. 1:24).
18群羊〔彼前五2〕，按原文直译是小群。这是指神的召会（徒二十28），与世人相比，为数较少（路十二32）。……照着彼前五章二节，长老不是辖管者，乃是牧人。有时候牧人也许必须管理群羊，但那不是君王的管理。那是照顾群羊之人的管理。……群羊需要受到照顾，得着保护，并以正确的方向受引导。他们需要被带到能吃能喝的地方。这就是牧养。
18Literally, the Greek word rendered “flock” [in 1 Peter 5:2] is “little flock.” This refers to the church of God (Acts 20:28), which is small in number (Luke 12:32) compared to the world. According to 1 Peter 5:2, elders are not rulers; they are shepherds. Sometimes a shepherd may have to rule the flock, but that is not the ruling of a king. It is a ruling of someone who cares for the flock…The flock needs to be cared for, protected, and led in the right direction. They need to be brought to a place where they can eat and drink. This is shepherding.
19在五章二节，……〔彼得〕嘱咐〔长老〕要牧养神的群羊。群羊不是长老的产业，乃是神的产业。就一面说，作长老的是被神使用，来牧养祂的群羊（彼得前书生命读经，三四九至三五○页）。
19Peter…charges [the elders] to shepherd the flock of God. The flock is not the elders’ possession but God’s possession. In a sense, the elders are employed by God to shepherd His flock. (Life-study of 1 Peter, p. 291)

20彼前五章二节的“监督”，意思是殷勤留意，要晓得情况如何。许多年前，我以为监督是要观察谁对谁错，谁作得好，谁作得差。后来我才领悟，监督主要的是在于监督需要。……〔牧人〕乃是关切群羊的需要。他的监督与保护群羊、引导群羊并喂养群羊有关。牧人施行监督，为要供应群羊所需要的。
20The word overseeing in 1 Peter 5:2 means “taking the oversight, looking diligently to be aware of the situation.” Years ago I thought that the overseeing was to observe who is wrong and who is right, who is doing well and who is doing poorly. Later I came to realize that to oversee is mainly a matter of overseeing the need…A shepherd…is concerned with the need of the flock. His oversight is related to protecting the flock, leading the flock, and feeding the flock. The shepherd exercises oversight in order to supply the flock with whatever is needed.
21如彼得所说的，作长老的应当“按着神……，出于甘心”而监督。按着神监督，意即按着神的性情、心意、作法和荣耀，不按着人的偏好、兴趣和目的。作长老的不该按着他们的意见、观念或好恶而监督。反之，他们该照着神的拣选、愿望、心意和喜好而监督。作长老的必须全然按着神的思想、感觉、意愿和拣选而监督。他们必须按着神的好恶而监督。……在彼前五章二节，彼得警告作长老的不要为着卑鄙的利益，乃要热切地施行监督。这就是说，作长老的不该利用长老职分，当作得利的方法。他们该热切地监督，像父母热切地照管儿女一样（彼得前书生命读经，三五一至三五三页）。
21As Peter says, the elders should oversee “willingly, according to God.” To oversee according to God means according to God’s nature, desire, way, and glory, not according to man’s preference, interest, and purpose. The elders should not oversee according to their opinion, concept, or likes or dislikes. Instead, they should oversee according to God’s choice, desire, intention, and preference. The elders must oversee the church altogether according to God’s thought, feeling, will, and choice. They must oversee according to God’s likes and dislikes. In 5:2 Peter warns the elders not to seek gain by base means but to eagerly exercise oversight. This means that the elders should not take advantage of the eldership and use it as a means to gain money. They should eagerly take the oversight like parents who eagerly exercise care over their children. (Life-study of 1 Peter, pp. 292-294)
22在彼得的头一封书信中，在二章二十五节他说到基督是我们魂的牧人和监督，而我们的魂乃是我们内里的所是，也就是我们的真人位。在五章一至二节他告诉长老们，务要按着神牧养神的群羊。按着神，意思就是我们必须活神；我们必须随时随处有神。我们在我们的悟性上、道理上与教训上有神，但我们在牧养人时可能没有活神。当我们与神是一，我们就成了神。在我们牧养别人时，我们就有神并且就是神。按着神牧养，意思就是按着神属性的所是牧养。神是爱、光、圣、义。按着神，至少是按着神的这四种属性。我们必须按着这四种属性牧养年幼的、软弱的和退后的。这样，我们就是好牧人。……除了牧养，我们没有路将生命供应给别人。……我们若要享受生命，并将生命供应别人，就必须牧养他们。真正生命的供应乃是借着访问人、接触人而牧养人（李常受文集一九九四至一九九七年第五册，一五四至一五五页）。
22In his first Epistle, Peter speaks of Christ being the Shepherd and Overseer of our soul, our inner being and real person (2:25). Then in 5:1-2 he tells the elders that their obligation is to shepherd God’s flock according to God. According to God means that we must live God. We must have God on hand. We have God in our understanding, in our theology, and in our teaching, but we may not live God when we are shepherding people. When we are one with God, we become God. Then we have God and are God in our shepherding of others. To shepherd according to God is to shepherd according to what God is in His attributes. God is love, light, holiness, and righteousness. “According to God” is at least according to these four attributes of God. We must shepherd the young ones, the weak ones, and the backsliding ones according to these four attributes. Then we will be good shepherds. Without shepherding, there is no way for us to minister life to others…If we want to enjoy life and minister life to others, we must shepherd them. The real ministering of life is shepherding by visiting and contacting people. (CWWL, 1994-1997, vol. 5, “The Vital Groups,” pp. 114-115)

25参读：彼得前书生命读经，第三十二篇；神人的生活，第二篇。
25
今日要点
26主题：在功用上成为神，以按着神牧养
26
27引经：彼前五2，彼后一4
27
281.召会需要的不是辖管，而是牧养：
28
29a.看见牧养的需要之后，我们还需要受提醒，我们是神人，该过神人的生活，而我们的牧养，不该照着自己，该像彼前五2所说，牧养神的群羊，按着神监督他们，长老不是辖管，乃是牧人。
29
30b.监督的原文，是由在上面与观看组成，这样的监督不是辖管，也不是看谁做得好做得差，而是监督羊的需要，殷勤留意，晓得情况和需要，因此牧人施行监督的功用，为要供应群羊所需要的。
30
312. 在功用上成为神，以按着神牧养：
31
32a. 按着神，意即按着神的性情、心意、作法和荣耀，而不是按着人的偏好、兴趣和目的，不要为着卑鄙的利益，乃要热切，不是出于勉强，乃是出于甘心。
32
33B. 若要按着神牧养，就需要活神，你若不是神，若不是在生命、性情、彰显和功用上成为神，就无法按着神牧养，若不与神成为一，就无法按着神牧养，就如彼后一4所说，当我们操练活神，在生命、性情、彰显上成为神，我们与神是一，在牧养别人时，我们就在功用上成为神。
33
34应用：无论是不是长老，我们可能都有对人的照顾和牧养，我们不该照着兴趣或喜好，选择性牧养，也不该为着利益，我们该操练活神，按着神牧养，好将生命供应给人。
