2第五篇 约瑟一生中所见成熟生命掌权的一面
2
3壹 按照属灵的经历,雅各和约瑟乃是一个人;约瑟代表成熟的以色列掌权的一面,就是基督构成在雅各成熟的性情里;作为由基督这完全者所构成的成熟圣徒,雅各借着约瑟掌权——创四一39~44来六1上加六8五22~23
3
4一 约瑟所预表掌权的一面,乃是构成到我们全人里面的基督——四19
4
5二 约瑟这“作梦的”(创三七19)梦见,按照神的眼光,祂的子民乃是满了生命的禾捆,也是满了光的天体(5~11);约瑟的两个梦(7、9)都是出于神,向他揭 示神对祂地上子民之性情、地位、功用和目标的神圣眼光:
5
61 我们必须用神圣的“望远镜”,透过时间来看,就会看见新耶路撒冷,在那里没有别的,只有满了生命的禾捆,和满了光的众星;因此,成熟生命掌权的一面绝不会消极地说到圣徒或召会——参三八27~30太七1~5彼前三8~9

7创三七7~8 “我们在田里捆禾稼,忽然间我的禾捆起来站着,你们的禾捆来围着我的禾捆下拜。他的哥哥们对他说,难道你真要作我们的王,真要管辖我们么?…”
7Gen. 37:7-8 There we were, binding sheaves in the field, when suddenly my sheaf rose up and remained standing; and then your sheaves gathered around and bowed down to my sheaf. And his brothers said to him, Will you indeed reign over us and actually be a ruler among us?…
8当雅各成熟时,他的名字就改了。不仅他的性情变化了,他的名字也从雅各(抓夺者)改为以色列(神成熟的王子,能为神掌权的人)。…成熟的以色列掌权的一面…完全描绘在约瑟的传记里。…因为约瑟代表雅各的一面,我们就不该认为约瑟是与雅各分开的人。创世记末后十四章,将约瑟生平的记载与雅各生平的记载结合一起,原因就在这里。
8When Jacob was matured, his name was changed. Not only was his disposition transformed, but his name was changed from Jacob, a supplanter, to Israel, a matured prince of God, one who could reign for God. The reigning aspect of…the matured Israel [is] portrayed in the biography of Joseph. Because Joseph represents an aspect of Jacob, we should not consider Joseph a person separate from Jacob. This is the reason the last fourteen chapters of Genesis combine the record of Joseph’s life with the record of Jacob’s.
9约瑟作基督的预表,表征成熟的圣徒,成熟的以色列掌权的一面。这样的人掌权的一面必然是完美的。当然,我们没有一个人是完美的。然而,在我们掌权的一面,我们是完美的。每当我们在灵里掌权的时候,我们就是完美的。(创世记生命读经,一六七八至一六八○页。)
9As a type of Christ, Joseph signifies the reigning aspect of a matured saint, the mature Israel. Certainly the reigning aspect of such a person must be perfect. None of us, of course, is perfect. However, in our reigning aspect we are perfect. Whenever we are reigning in the spirit, we are perfect. (Life-study of Genesis, pp. 1406-1408)

10成熟的圣徒…经过了亚伯拉罕、以撒、雅各的生平所代表的经历,…就有单单由基督构成的一面。因为他这一面是基督的构成,所以是完美的。约瑟代表成熟圣徒这构成的一面。在我们每个人里面,都有由基督构成的一面。即使你刚重生,你也有一部分,就是你重生的灵,已经由基督所构成。这是基督在你里面构成的开始。由基督构成的过程要一直持续到顶点,那时掌权的一面就要在你身上出来。当你完全成熟时,你就有这拔尖的一分,拔尖的一面。…约瑟代表基督在雅各成熟生命里的构成。基督在成熟圣徒里面构成的这一面是完美的。因此,这一面完美的预表基督。
10A matured saint who has passed through the experiences represented by Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob…has an aspect that is constituted solely of Christ. Because this aspect of him is the constitution of Christ, it is perfect. Joseph represents this constituted aspect of a matured saint. In each of us there is a part that is constituted of Christ. Even if you have just been regenerated, a part of you, your regenerated spirit, has been constituted of Christ. This is the beginning of Christ’s constitution in you. The process of being constituted of Christ will continue until it reaches its climax when the reigning aspect comes forth in you. When you are fully matured, you will have this top portion, this top aspect. Joseph represents the constitution of Christ in Jacob’s mature life. This aspect, Christ constituted in the matured saints, is perfect. Hence, it perfectly typifies Christ.
11虽然神的子民是位于天上的太阳、月亮与众星,却是活在地上的禾捆,(腓三20二15,)因为禾捆生长在田里。今天我们乃是活在地上的属天子民。…我们是神的子民。…你若说弟兄姊妹不行,这意思就是你非常短视。你若用神圣的望远镜,透过时间来看,你会看见新耶路撒冷,在那里没有别的,只有禾捆和众星。在新耶路撒冷,没有“地鼠”或“蝎子”。在那里,每样东西都满了生命和光。…唯有神能使约瑟有这些梦。
11Although God’s people are positioned in heaven as the sun, the moon, and the stars, they are living on earth as sheaves (Phil. 3:20; 2:15), for sheaves grow in the field. Today we are the heavenly people living on earth. We are God’s people…If you say that the brothers and sisters are so bad, it means that you are extremely shortsighted. But if you use the divine telescope to see through time, you will behold the New Jerusalem where there is nothing but sheaves and stars. In the New Jerusalem there are no “gophers” or “scorpions.” There, everything is full of life and light…Only God could have caused Joseph to have these dreams.
12成熟的生命有掌权的一面。你越在生命里成熟,越不会消极地说到圣徒或召会。…在神眼中,信徒都是禾捆。他们也是太阳、月亮与众星。…我看见这样的异象之后,有时候还会说,“不错,我已经看见召会是美妙的,但事实上召会并非如此。”我这样说,就把“尾巴”露出来了。甚至这“尾巴”也使我发死。最终,我完全被征服且被折服,我说,“主,我忘掉我的短视,我要使用神圣的望远镜。召会是超特、奇妙、美好的。召会一点也没有问题,她既完美又完全。”我这样说,就满有生命,并且享受生命。对我而言,每位弟兄姊妹都是美妙的,我爱他们所有的人,包括退后的在内。我越这样说到弟兄姊妹,就越满有生命。我相信我们许多人都经历过这事。我们不是审判人的,神才是审判者。而祂不是审判圣徒,乃是在他们身上作工,将“蝎子”变化为禾捆,将“地鼠”变化为众星。最终,我们都要成为禾捆和众星。愿我们都有这永远的眼光。(创世记生命读经,一六八二、一六九二、一六九四至一六九五页。)
12The mature life has a reigning aspect. The more mature in life you become, the less you will speak negatively concerning the saints or the church…In God’s eyes the believers are all sheaves. They are also the sun, the moon, and the stars. After seeing such a vision, I have nevertheless said at times, “Yes, I have seen that the church is wonderful. But actually it is not so.” In saying this, the “tail” was exposed. Even this “tail” caused me to suffer death. Eventually, I was completely subdued and convinced, and I said, “Lord, I forget my short sight and use the divine telescope. The church is excellent, marvelous, and wonderful. There is nothing wrong with the church. It is perfect and complete.” When I speak like this, I am full of life and I enjoy life. To me, every brother and sister is wonderful, and I love them all, including the backsliders. The more I speak this way about the brothers and sisters, the more I am full of life. I believe many of us have experienced this. We are not the ones to judge. God is the Judge. And He is not judging the saints; He is working on them to transform the “scorpions” into sheaves and the “gophers” into stars. Eventually, we all shall be sheaves and stars. May we all have this eternal view. (Life-study of Genesis, pp. 1409-1410, 1418-1420)

今日要点
14主题:被基督这完全者构成,活出约瑟成熟生命掌权的一面
14
15引经:创三七7~8
15
161.约瑟代表成熟以色列掌权的一面:
16
17A. 关于生命长大以致成熟,在旧约有一个特出的例子,雅各生命成熟,神就将他从雅各(抓夺者)改名为以色列(神的王子,为神掌权的人),此外,「雅各的记略如下。约瑟…」指明,按照属灵的经历,雅各和约瑟乃是一个人,约瑟代表成熟的以色列掌权的一面。
17
18B. 约瑟就是代表成熟圣徒有基督构成的一面,基督是完全的,所以记载约瑟的一面,也是完美的,在我们每一个人里面,也都有基督构成的一面,即使你刚重生,至少你重生的灵,已经由基督所构成,这是构成的开始,要持续达到顶点,当我们完全被基督这完全者所构成,那时生命掌权的一面就要显现出来。
18
192.神渴望我们成为满了生命的禾捆和发光的天体:
19
20A.在创三七7~8,约瑟这「作梦的」,梦见禾捆和天体向他下拜,按他弟兄们,也就是一般人的眼光,只会注意为什么要向约瑟下拜,但按照神的眼光,神在意的是禾捆,是天体,祂的子民是满了生命的禾捆,也是满了光的天体,即便他们现在生命尚未成熟,但这说出了神对祂子民的性情、地位、功用、目标的神圣眼光。
20
21B.可以说,约瑟的弟兄们都有神圣的生命,如禾捆,只是生命尚未成熟掌权,而约瑟作基督的豫表,表征生命成熟的圣徒,他的禾捆站着,他弟兄的禾捆下拜,就说出他里面神圣生命掌权的一面。
21
22应用:我们在召会生活中,需要操练用神圣的望远镜来看圣徒,操练注意生命过于一切,否则就会像约瑟的兄弟们,只注意生命以外的一切,带来对圣徒或召会的批评。
