7申十六16~17 你一切的男丁,要在除酵节、七七节、住棚节,一年三次,在耶和华你神所选择的地方朝见祂。他们不可空手朝见耶和华;各人要按自己的力量,照耶和华你神所赐的福,奉献礼物。
7Deut. 16:16-17 Three times a year all your males shall appear before Jehovah your God in the place which He will choose: at the Feast of Unleavened Bread, at the Feast of Weeks, and at the Feast of Tabernacles. And they shall not appear before Jehovah empty-handed; each man shall give as he is able to give, according to the blessing of Jehovah your God, which He has given you.
8每当神的百姓来敬拜神,他们受吩咐不可空手而来。他们必须双手充满美地出产的富余而来。……百姓至少将三分的十分之一积存起来(申十六16)。他们必须将他们从美地所得着〔的〕出产……积存起来,不是为着他们自己的生活,目的乃是为着敬拜神。这样,每当他们来在一起敬拜神,他们就将美地出产的富余带给神。
8Whenever the people of God came to worship God, they were commanded not to come with their hands empty. They had to come with their hands full of the surplus of the produce of the good land…The people put aside at least three portions of one-tenth (Deut. 16:16)…of the produce they obtained from the good land, not for their own living but for the purpose of worshipping God. In this way, whenever they came together to worship God, they brought a surplus of the produce of the good land to God.
9美地出产的富余预表基督,得着富余的路是在基督身上劳苦。……你能被带进美地,但你若懒惰,就不会有富余;反之,你会作乞丐。我们若殷勤并努力地在神所分给我们的地上劳苦,我们会从这丰富之地得着许多出产。这出产不但足供我们维生,也叫我们得着富余(李常受文集一九六四年第四册,一○○至一○一页)。
9The surplus of the produce of the good land typifies Christ, and the way to have the surplus is to labor on Christ…You can be brought into the good land, but if you are lazy, you will have no surplus. Rather, you will be a beggar. If we are diligent and industrious to labor on the land that God allotted to us, we will have much produce from this rich land. This produce will be enough not only for us to live on but also for us to have a surplus. (CWWL, 1964, vol. 4, “Serving in the Meetings and in the Gospel,” pp. 76-77)

10富余是首先的十分之一,不是末后的十分之一。以色列人必须为主分别每一只头生的羊羔,和每种出产的第一个十分之一。这预表我们被带进基督里以后,需要在基督身上劳苦,与圣灵合作,凭基督而活。有些人也许说,我们不该用“劳苦”这辞,因为今天是恩典时代;他们说一切都在于恩典,不在于工作。没有疑问,赐给我们的美地乃是恩典。阳光、空气、秋雨和春雨也是恩典;然而,我们仍必须耕地。我们不能说,恩典会为我们耕地;恩典绝不会那样作。从圣经的起头,在亚当受造以后,人就必须耕地。我们需要耕地、撒种并收割。恩典不会为我们作这些事。我们无法使雨从天降下。……那的确是恩典的事。阳光、空气、雨水和肥沃的土壤都出于恩典。然而,我们必须领悟,我们都有我们的责任。
10The surplus is the first tenth, not the last tenth. The Israelites had to separate every first lamb and every first tenth of the produce for the Lord. This typifies that after being brought into Christ, we need to labor on Christ, to cooperate with the Holy Spirit to live by Christ. Some may say that we should not use the word labor, because today is the dispensation of grace; they say everything is of grace, not of works. There is no doubt that the good land given to us is a grace. The sunshine, the air, the early rain, and the latter rain are also a grace. However, we still have to till the ground. We cannot say that grace will till the ground for us; grace will never do that. From the very beginning of the Scriptures, after Adam was created, man had to till the ground. We need to till the ground, sow the seed, and reap the harvest. Grace will not do these things for us. We cannot bring rain down from heaven… That is truly something of grace. Sunshine, air, rain, and the rich soil are all of grace. However, we must realize that we all have our responsibility.
11每天早晨我们必须早起。没有一个农夫能懒惰;每一个人早晨都必须早起。倘若我们早晨不早起,花一些时间与基督同在,我确定我们来到聚会中,手中会一无所有。我们会空手来到聚会中。我们需要早点起来,接触主,读主的话,并有些祷告,以耕地、撒种并有所收成。
11Every morning we have to rise up early. Not one farmer can be lazy; everyone has to rise up early in the morning. If we do not rise early in the morning to spend a little time with Christ, I am certain that when we come to the meeting, we will have nothing in our hand. We will come to the meeting with empty hands. We need to rise up a little earlier, contact the Lord, read the Word, and pray a little to till the ground, sow the seed, and reap the harvest.
12日复一日,我们必须早起,花时间与主同在;这是我们的劳苦。我们必须祷告;这是我们的劳苦。我们也必须终日运用我们的灵接触主;这也是我们的劳苦。不仅如此,我们必须对付许多仇敌,包括肉体、己和环境。甚至我们的家人、朋友、亲戚、邻居、同事、同学和室友,也是我们必须对付的问题。我们也必须传扬福音,并学习帮助别人。这些都是我们该劳苦的项目。倘若我们在这一切事上劳苦,我们就会从我们的美地基督得着丰富的出产。然后,我们来到聚会中,就会双手满了基督的丰富而来。因为我们昼夜在基督身上劳苦,我们就会有丰富的出产,不但足以叫我们在基督里且凭着基督而活,也足以叫我们来敬拜神。这样,我们来到神面前,就带着基督而来(李常受文集一九六四年第四册,一○一至一○二页)。
12Day by day we must rise up early to spend some time with the Lord; this is our labor. We have to pray; this is our labor. We also have to exercise our spirit to contact the Lord throughout the whole day; this also is our labor. Moreover, we must deal with many enemies, including the flesh, the self, and the environment. Even our family, friends, relatives, neighbors, colleagues, classmates, and roommates are problems we have to deal with. We also have to preach the gospel and learn to help others. All these are items of the labor we should have. If we labor in all these ways, we will have the rich produce of Christ our good land. Then when we come to the meeting, we will come with our hands full of the riches of Christ. Because day and night we labor on Christ, we will have a rich produce that is not only good enough for us to live in Christ and by Christ but also good enough for us to come to worship God. In this way, when we come to God, we come with Christ. (CWWL, 1964, vol. 4, “Serving in the Meetings and in the Gospel,” pp. 77-78)

今日要点
14主题:尽人的责任,经营基督以产生富余,为着真正的敬拜
14
15引经:申十六16~17
15
161.享受富余豫表对基督的享受:
16
17a. 在申十六16~17给我们看见,每当神的百姓来敬拜神,他们受吩咐不可空手而来,他们必须双手充满美地出产的富余而来,百姓要将从美地出产的富余积存起来,所积存的不是为着他们的生活,目的乃是为着敬拜神,将富余带给神,这幅图画给我们看见,“富余”豫表基督,而“享受美地出产的富余”,则豫表对基督团体的享受,作为我们对神的敬拜。
17
18B.美地出产的富余豫表基督,而得着富余的路在于劳苦经营,我们若能被带到美地,却懒惰不殷勤经营,使美地有出产,就不会有富余,这也就是为什么,主要推倒殿里兑换银钱的桌子,赶走买卖牛羊鸽子的,因为这促使百姓不经营美地,空手朝见耶和华,反而变相拿兑换的银钱购买献给神的祭物,这不是神所要的。
18
192.美地是神的恩典,但经营美地是我们的责任:
19
20A.今天召会时代,又称为恩典时代,一切都是恩典,有人就因而觉得,我们不该用劳苦一词,没有疑问,赐给我们的美地乃是白白的恩典,阳光、空气、雨水、土壤都是恩典,然而,土壤不会平白无故长出作物,长出的只会是杂草,因此我们仍需要耕地,恩典不会为我们耕地,耕地是我们的责任。
20
21B.所以今天若照着这豫表在新约的应验,我们团体的来敬拜神时,必须将我们所经历的基督带来,要成就这事,我们就要看看农夫,没有一个农夫能懒惰,无论日晒雨淋,农夫都要下田,阳光、空气、雨水、土壤那是神一面的事,而我们的责任就是殷勤劳苦地经营美地。
21
22应用:我们必须每天早起,花时间与主同在,生活中必须祷告,终日必须运用灵接触主,维持与主的交通,也必须对付肉体、己和环境,甚至面对家人、朋友、亲戚、邻居、同事等,向他们传扬福音,学习帮助别人,这些都该是我们的劳苦,是我们的责任,这样,我们就会从美地基督得着丰富的出产,使我们在聚会中献上这些来敬拜神。
