第六周　周五

纲目

1柒申言者所得着的启示，就是他们所得着的负担；没有负担，就没有话语的职事，没有申言来建造召会——赛一1，二1，十三1，十五1，亚十二1，玛一1，徒六4，林前十四4下：

2一我们的负担是要将神的启示释放给人，而神的启示是借着神所赐给我们启示的话而释放的——二11~16。

3二我们服事神的话语，不是去注意讲话的题目，乃要注意有没有神的说话；要有神的说话，服事话语的人必须有负担——玛二7，歌八13~14，弗五26~27。

4三那些尽话语职事的人，必须背负人在神面前的光景，感觉人的光景如何，晓得神要说什么话——出二八29~30。

5四在话语的职事上，最大的难处就是没有从主领受的负担；没有负担，无论作什么都是死的，都没有果效；有负担才是活的，才会朝气蓬勃：

61 负担是最叫我们受对付的；若有负担，己会减少，并要受对付，因为有些事我们的负担不许可我们作，有些事我们得受对付，否则无法释放负担。

72 我们若因着责任事奉而不是带着负担事奉，这样的事奉会叫我们失去主的同在——玛三14，申四25。

83 什么时候我们的事奉变作尽责任，我们的事奉就已经堕落了。

9赛十三1 亚摩斯的儿子以赛亚所得关于巴比伦的默示〔直译，负担〕。

9Isa. 13:1 The burden concerning Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw.

10亚十二1 耶和华论以色列之话语的默示〔直译，负担〕。……

10Zech. 12:1 The burden of the word of Jehovah concerning Israel...

11启示、光照是第一。你总得从这里起头，……但是有了启示、光照，还没有话语的职事。你需要有更新的悟性，更新的心思，这样，神一光照你，你就清楚内容。你绝不能将一个模糊的启示拿出来讲给人听。至少这一个启示在你的思想里是清楚的，你才能说出去，……思想清楚了，还不一定能作话语的执事，因为他还没有话。人只能听见话，人不能听见思想。如果没有话，你在讲台上讲了半天，你那个意思还没有出去。所以你在神面前总得有话。

11Revelation and light come first. This is the starting point...Yet revelation and light alone do not constitute the ministry of the word. One must be renewed in his mind and understanding. When God shines again, he will then be clear about the content of the revelation. We cannot convey a hazy and foggy revelation. At a minimum the revelation has to be clear in our mind before we can tell others about it...Yet even if our mind is clear, we still may not be a minister of the word because we still do not have the proper words. Others can only hear our words; they cannot hear our mind. If we do not have the appropriate words, we may speak for hours on the platform without conveying what we know. This is why we have to have words from God.

12什么叫作负担？负担是灵里的光照，悟性定住光照的思想，并加上里面的话。你那个负担，最末了的一步，就是要把里面的话释放出去。这三者连在一起，合成为申言者的负担。负担是光，加上思想，又加上里面的话。我们的负担，是要将神的启示给人，而神的启示是借我们所得着启示的话把它带出去的（倪柝声文集第三辑第七册，二二七、二三○页）。

12What then is a burden? First, a burden is the light we receive in the spirit, the thoughts that capture the light, and finally the inner words that supplement the light and thoughts. The last step of the burden is the release of the inner word. The combination of these three things makes up the burden of the prophets. Burden is light plus thoughts plus the inner words. Our burden is to release God’s revelation to man, and God’s revelation is released through the words of revelation that we have received. (CWWN, vol. 53, “The Ministry of God’s Word,” pp. 194-195, 197)

信息选读

Today’s Reading

13在……话语的职事上，最大的难处就是没有负担，或者说不接受负担，不注意负担。长老们可能在那里治理，却是一个没有负担的治理；可能在讲台释放话语，却是个没有负担的话语。……这不是你道讲得好不好的问题，也不是他们受不受感动的问题，更不在于你如何将信息讲得有条有理，乃是在于众人听了之后，会产生什么样的果效。如果他们是尚未得救的，你就该接受负担，背负他们的灵魂，靠着主的恩典，在释放话语时，将救恩种到他们里面。你所接受的负担，不是使众人受感动，也不是把道讲得好听，乃是使这些人得救。他们若是已经得救却不爱主，你就该接受一个负担，使他们爱主。他们若是爱主却不肯把自己交给主，不肯接受主的对付，你就当接受负担，使他们愿意将自己交给主，受主对付。这才是一个有负担的讲台。

13The greatest problem in...the ministry of the word is not having a burden or, we can say, not receiving a burden or not paying attention to a burden. It is possible for elders to administrate the church without a burden. Those who minister the word may also do so without a burden...It is not a matter of how well we speak, the logistics of our presentation, or whether the saints are touched; rather, it is a matter of what will be produced in the saints. If some are not yet saved, we should receive a burden to bear their souls by the Lord’s grace in order to sow the seed of salvation into them when we release the word. Our burden is salvation, not the release of a dynamic word. If they are saved but do not love the Lord, our burden should be for them to love the Lord. If they love the Lord but are not willing to give themselves to the Lord and receive His dealing, our burden should be for them to willingly give themselves to the Lord and be dealt with by Him. This is the ministry of the word with a burden.

14我们服事神的话语，不是去注意讲话的题目，乃要注意有没有神的说话。要有神的说话，服事话语的人里面必须有负担。一篇有负担的话，可能惹动人的反感，却也可能在人里面挑动人；然而，无论如何，众人都不得不承认那是神的说话。

14When we minister the word of God, our concern should be whether we have God’s speaking, not the topic of our speaking. In order to have God’s speaking, the one who ministers the word must have a burden. People may have a negative reaction or be stirred up when they hear a message that is spoken with a burden, but they cannot deny that it is God’s speaking.

15所以，我们的讲台不能太便当、太便宜，好像只要有一篇道就可以去讲。一个尽话语职事的人，必须背负着人在神面前的光景。……他有一个责任，知道他要给这些人什么。这些人的光景如何，神要对这些人说什么话，统统是他需要接受的负担。

15Therefore, speaking should not be easy or cheap. We cannot speak simply because we have prepared a message. One who ministers the word should bear people’s condition before God. He bears the responsibility of knowing their needs. He needs to sense their condition and know what God wants to speak.

16没有负担，无论作什么都是死的，都没有果效；有负担才是活的，才会朝气蓬勃。这个问题不在于方法，乃在乎“人”。……你若有负担，你这个“自己”不可能加多，反而会减少，并要受对付；因为有些事你的负担不许可你作，有些事你得受对付，否则没办法释放负担。

16Without a burden, all our activity will be dead and ineffective; with a burden, we will be living and flourishing. Such an outcome is not related to our method but to our person...If there is a burden, our self decreases and is dealt with. It will not increase, because there are things that our burden will not allow us to do, and there are areas that will require our being dealt with before we can release our burden.

17现今在召会里的情形，〔弟兄们的服事〕好像……在作大公司的雇员一样。这是很危险的事；这会叫我们失去主的同在。……每一个事奉主的人，都该接受负担，都该有负担（李常受文集一九五七年第二册，三○三至三○四、三○六、三一○至三一二页）。

17It seems as if the brothers in the churches serve according to obligation as employees in a company...Such service is dangerous and will cause us to lose the Lord’s presence...Everyone who serves the Lord must receive a burden and have a burden. (CWWL, 1957, vol. 2, “The Administration of the Church and the Ministry of the Word,” pp. 233, 235, 238-239)

今日要点

19主题：作基督的好执事，领受负担并供应主话

201.领受负担，供应主话

21a.要作为基督的执事有以下条件：第六，有负担，负担一词出自旧约，原文出现63次，也可翻译为默示，在赛十三1和亚十二1，申言者里面有负担，外面有默示，因此，负担跟神的默示有关，也就是说，负担跟话语的职事有关。

22B. 申言者背负人在神面前的光景，在灵里得着启示和光照，并用更新的悟性和心思定住光照的思想，最后加上在神面前有里面的话，而形成『负担』，产生话语的职事，好将神赐给我们启示的话释放给人，申言以建造召会。

232.负担的形成：

24a. 今天我们的负担乃是要将神的启示释放给人，而神的启示乃是借着神所赐给我们启示的话而释放的，我们服事神的话语，不是去注意讲话的题目，而是注意有没有神的说话，若要有神的说话，就需要有负担，背负人的光景，这是基督的好执事要供应分赐人，最重要的事。

25b.因此，在话语的服事上，最大的难处就是没有从主领受的负担，我们想作、喜欢作的，就拼命作，但不想作的，不喜欢作的，就消极视而不见，此外，有可能我们的服事仅因着责任，而非因着负担，所以，没有从主来的负担，无论作什么都是死的，都没有果效，若有从主来的负担，作什么都是活的，因此，负担最叫我们受对付，叫我们的己减少。

26应用：我们不该成为召会的雇员，只有派令，没有负担，只有完成任务，没有主的同在，为此我们需要到主面前祷告，求主怜悯并开启，将负担倾倒在我们身上，使我们愿意领受、承接从主来的负担。
