纲目
1壹 神新约经纶独一的教训(提前一3~4),乃是关于基督在三个时期——成肉体、总括、加强——中之丰满职事的教训:
1
2一 “主的恢复将是什么,将成为如何,在于我们如何对待这教训”(李常受弟兄);这教训能够用一句简单的话来概说——“主的恢复乃是神成了肉体,肉体成了赐生命的灵,赐生命的灵成了七倍加强的灵,为要建造召会,成为基督的身体,终极完成新耶路撒冷。”(神圣奥秘的范围,一四页)。
2
3二 我们要作神的同工与祂一同作工(林后六1林前三9),就需要凭基督在衪三个神圣奥秘时期中丰满的职事,认识、经历并享受基督(赢得基督 ——腓三8~14)。
3
4贰 基督在第一个时期,就是衪成肉体的时期,从祂的出生到祂的死,完成了以下的要事:
4
5一 基督在祂成肉体的时期中,将无限的神带到有限的人里面;基督虽是出于伯利恒,却是从亘古,从太初而出;这是指基督永远的根源,也指明三一神预备要从永远里出来,进到时间里,要借着生于伯利恒,成为一个人,带着祂的神性而来,进到人性里——弥五2
5
6二 基督在祂成肉体的时期中,将三一神与三部分人联结、调和且合并——路一35二4052约十四10~11一14

7约一14 话成了肉体,支搭帐幕在我们中间,……我们也见过祂的荣耀……。
7John 1:14 And the Word became flesh and tabernacled among us (and we beheld His glory…)
8路一35 ……圣灵要临到你身上,至高者的能力要覆庇你,因此所要生的圣者,必称为神的儿子。
8Luke 1:35 …The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore also the holy thing which is born will be called the Son of God.
9二40 那孩子渐渐长大,……充满智慧,又有神的恩在祂身上。
92:40 And the little child grew…, being filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon Him.
10神中心的启示就是神成为肉体,这肉体成了赐生命的灵,这赐生命的灵又成了七倍加强的灵,为要建造召会,产生基督的身体,终极完成新耶路撒冷。我们需要看见,三一神成为肉体,这肉体成了赐生命的灵,而赐生命的灵成了七倍加强的灵。这灵是为着建造召会,召会要成为基督的身体,终极完成新耶路撒冷,作神经纶的最后目标。
10The central revelation of God is God becoming flesh, the flesh becoming the life-giving Spirit, and the life-giving Spirit becoming intensified sevenfold to build up the church to issue in the Body of Christ and to consummate the New Jerusalem. We need to see that the Triune God became flesh, that the flesh became the life-giving Spirit, and that the life-giving Spirit became the sevenfold intensified Spirit. This Spirit is to build up the church, which becomes the Body of Christ consummating the New Jerusalem as the final goal of God’s economy.
11主的恢复乃是神成了肉体,肉体成了赐生命的灵,赐生命的灵成了七倍加强的灵,为要建造召会,成为基督的身体,终极完成新耶路撒冷(李常受文集一九九四至一九九七年第四册,一一三至一一四页)。
11The Lord’s recovery is God becoming the flesh, the flesh becoming the life-giving Spirit, and the life-giving Spirit becoming the sevenfold intensified Spirit to build up the church that becomes the Body of Christ and that consummates the New Jerusalem. (CWWL, 1994-1997, vol. 4, “The Divine and Mystical Realm,” pp. 92-93)

12要作一个同工或长老,……必须凭基督在祂三个神圣奥秘时期中丰满的职事,经历并享受基督(赢得基督—腓三8)。怎样作同工、长老?首先要认识基督,其次要凭基督丰满的职事,经历并享受基督。你必须先有认识,然后有经历和享受。这样经历并享受基督,就是赢得基督〔8〕。……说“得着”还不够,乃是要“赢得”。赢得基督是需要出代价的。赢得基督就是出代价以经历、享受并支取祂一切追测不尽的丰富。这不是那么简单。……一场比赛不容易赢得奖赏,一场战争也不容易得着胜利;这需要我们忘记背后,努力面前,竭力追求〔12~14上〕。照样,我们也要凭着基督丰满的职事,经历并享受祂,借此赢得祂。
12To be a co-worker or an elder, we…need to experience and enjoy Christ (to gain Christ—Phil. 3:8) in His full ministry in His three divine and mystical stages. How can we be a co-worker and an elder? First, we need to know Christ; second, we need to experience and enjoy Christ, that is, to gain Christ, in His full ministry. First, we have the knowledge, and then we have the experience and enjoyment. To experience and enjoy Christ is to gain Christ [v. 8]…To “have” is not sufficient; we need to “gain.” To gain Christ requires paying a price. To gain Christ is to experience, enjoy, and take possession of all His unsearchable riches by paying a price. This is not so simple…It is not easy to win a game, and it is also not easy to win the victory in a war. These require us to pursue by forgetting the things which are behind and stretching forward to the things which are before [vv. 12-14a]. Likewise, we need to gain Christ by experiencing and enjoying Him in His full ministry.
13基督丰满的职事,有三个神圣奥秘的时期。第一个时期是祂成肉体的时期,就是从祂的出生开始,直到祂受死为止,包括祂的生与死之间的人生历程。因此,祂的出生、祂的经过人生、加上祂的死,就是祂成肉体的时期。
13The full ministry of Christ is in three divine and mystical stages. The first stage, the stage of His incarnation, began with His human birth and ended with His death, including the entire course of His human life. Hence, His human birth, His passing through human living, and His death formed the stage of His incarnation.
14基督丰满的职事,在第一个成肉体的时期中,将无限的神带到有限的人里面。……这乃是我们今天的新语言。神是无限的,我们人是有限的。基督……把神这无限的一位,带到有限的人里面。无限与有限,二者怎能成为一?但是基督的职事作到了。
14In His full ministry in the first stage, the stage of His incarnation, Christ brought the infinite God into the finite man…This is our new language today. God is infinite, and we human beings are finite…Christ brought the infinite God into the finite man. One is infinite, and the other is finite—how could the two become one? Nevertheless, it was carried out by Christ in His ministry.
15基督丰满的职事,在第一个成肉体的时期中,也将三一神与三部分人联结并调和一起。三一神很奥秘,三部分人也相当费解。如果只说,基督将神与人联结并调和一起,这还容易。但是照神圣奥秘的范围里新文化的新语言,我们必须说,基督乃是将三一神与三部分人联结并调和在一起。论到三一神,父是源头,子是显出,灵是进入;论到三部分人,灵在最里面,魂居中,体在外面(李常受文集一九九四至一九九七年第五册,二八四至二八六页)。
15In His full ministry in the first stage of His incarnation, Christ also united and mingled the Triune God with the tripartite man. The Triune God is mysterious, and the tripartite man is difficult to understand. If we simply say that Christ united and mingled God with man, this is easy. However, according to the new language of the new culture in the divine and mystical realm, we need to say that Christ united and mingled the Triune God with the tripartite man. Concerning the Triune God, the Father is the source, the Son is the expression, and the Spirit is the entering in. Concerning the tripartite man, the spirit is the innermost part, the soul is in the middle, and the body is on the outside. (CWWL, 1994-1997, vol. 5, “How to Be a Coworker and an Elder and How to Fulfill Their Obligations,” pp. 222-224)

18引经:约一14路一35路二40
18
191.凭基督在祂三个神圣奥秘时期中丰满的职事,认识、经历并享受基督:
19
20A.神新约经纶独一的教训,乃是关于基督在三个时期—成肉体、总括、加强—中之丰满职事的教训,这教训能够用一句话来概说—主的恢复乃是神成了肉体,肉体成为赐生命的灵,赐生命的灵成了七倍加强的灵,为要建造召会,成为基督的身体,终极完成新耶路撒冷。
20
21B.主的恢复将是什么,将成为如何,在于我们如何对待这教训,我们要凭基督在祂三个神圣奥秘时期中丰满的职事,认识、经历并享受基督,好作神的同工与祂一同作工,在加强的时期,成为得胜者,建造基督的身体,以终极完成新耶路撒冷。
21
222.第一个时期所成就的其中两件大事:
22
23A.根据约一14,这位是神的话成为肉体,基督在第一个时期,就是祂成肉体的时期,从祂的出生到祂的死,完成了以下的四件要事,第一,将无限的神带到有限的人里面,第二,将三一神与三部分人联结、调和且合并。
23
24B.在路一35指出,借着圣灵成孕,马利亚所生的这一位,乃是父子灵三一神与有灵魂体之三部分人之生命的联结、性情的调和、人位的合并,在路二40接着指出,这一位马利亚所生的孩子,有神的恩在祂身上。
24
25应用:无论是否作长老或同工,我们都需要认识基督,并凭基督丰满的职事经历并享受基督,以赢得基督,这需要我们操练忘记背后,努力面前,竭力追求赢得祂。
