22哥林多前书向我们揭示,我们蒙召所进入的基督,乃是包罗万有的。祂是神赐给我们的分,(一2,)是神的能力和智慧,成了我们的公义、圣别和救赎。(24,30。)为着叫我们得荣耀,(二7,罗八30,)祂是荣耀的主。(林前二8。)祂是神的深奥(神深奥的事),(10,)是神建造的唯一根基,(三11,)是我们的逾越节、(五7、)无酵饼、(五8、)灵食、灵水和灵磐石,(十3~4,)是头,(十一3,)是身体,(十二12,)是初熟的果子,(十五20,23,)第二个人,(47,)和末后的亚当;(45;)祂是这样的一位,成了赐生命的灵,(45,)好给我们接受到我们里面,作我们的一切。神已将这位至少有二十项丰富的包罗万有者赐给我们,作我们的分,给我们享受。我们该专注于祂,不该专注于祂以外的任何人事物。…我们蒙了神的呼召,乃是进入这样一位的交通里。祂这交通成了使徒在祂的身体—召会—中与信徒共享的交通,(徒二42,约壹一3,)也该是我们在祂的筵席上有分于祂的血和身体时,所享受的交通。(林前十16,21。)这样的交通,就是由圣灵所实施的交通,(林后十三14,)必是唯一的,因为祂是独一的;这交通禁止在祂独一身体的肢体中间有任何分裂。 22First Corinthians unveils to us that the very Christ, into whom we all have been called, is all-inclusive. He is the portion given to us by God (1:2). He is God’s power and God’s wisdom as righteousness, sanctification, and redemption to us (vv. 24, 30). He is the Lord of glory (2:8) for our glorification (v. 7; Rom. 8:30). He is the depths (deep things) of God (1 Cor. 2:10). He is the unique foundation of God’s building (3:11). He is our Passover (5:7), the unleavened bread (v. 8), the spiritual food, the spiritual drink, and the spiritual rock (10:3-4). He is the Head (11:3) and the Body (12:12). He is the firstfruits (15:20, 23), the second man (v. 47), and the last Adam (v. 45); and as such He became the life-giving Spirit (v. 45) that we may receive Him into us as our everything. This all-inclusive One, with the riches of at least twenty items, God has given to us as our portion for our enjoyment. We should concentrate on Him, not on any persons, things, or matters other than Him…It is into the fellowship of such a One that we have been called by God. This fellowship of God’s Son became the fellowship that the apostles shared with the believers (Acts 2:42; 1 John 1:3) in His Body, the church, and should be the fellowship that we enjoy in partaking of His blood and His body at His table (1 Cor. 10:16, 21). Such a fellowship, which is carried out by the Spirit (2 Cor. 13:14), must be unique, because He is unique; it forbids any division among the members of His unique Body.
