1读经：林后十三14，一12，四15，六1，八1，9，九8，14，十二9
1
纲目
2壹 哥林多前书用旧约以色列人的历史作新约信徒的豫表；（五7～8，十1～13；） 但哥林多前书没有题到美地，因为就属灵上说， 美地的实际乃是在哥林多后书：
2
3一 在哥林多后书之美地的实际乃是基督自己作神圣的恩典；主耶稣基督的恩典乃是哥林多后书的中心思想与主题—十三14，一 12，四15，六1，八1，9，九8，14，十二9。
3
4二 林前十五章十节的『这不是我，乃是神的恩』，等于加拉太二章二十节所说的『不再是我，乃是基督』；那推动使徒并在他里面运行的恩，不是任何事物，乃是一位活的人位，（约一16～17，）复活的基督，父神的具体化身，（西二9，约十四7～11，）成了包罗万有赐生命的灵，（林前十五45下，林后三17，）住在使徒里面，作他的享受加他能力。（提后四22，二1。）
4
5三 恩典乃是神在基督里作为那灵赐给我们，作我们的享受，加我们力量、加我们能力、扶持我们并加强我们，使我们面对各种难处，以适应一切处境，忍受任何对待，接受各样环境，在各种情形里作工，并把握各种机会，使我们作好管家，将神诸般的恩典分赐到别人里面，为着建造召会作神的家和神的国—林前十五1 0，林后一3～1 2 ，十二7～9，彼前四10，弗三2。

6林前十五10 然而因着神的恩，我成了我今天这个人，并且神的恩临到我，不是徒然的；反而我比众使徒格外劳苦，但这不是我，乃是神的恩与我同在。
61 Cor. 15:10 But by the grace of God I am what I am; and His grace unto me did not turn out to be in vain;…I labored more abundantly than all of them, yet not I but the grace of God which is with me.
7林后六1 而且我们既与神同工，也就劝你们不可徒受祂的恩典。
72 Cor. 6:1 And working together with Him, we also entreat you not to receive the grace of God in vain.
8林前十五章十节的“这不是我，乃是神的恩”，等于加拉太二章二十节所说的“不再是我，乃是基督”。那推动使徒并在他里面运行的恩，不是任何事物，乃是一位活的人位，复活的基督，父神的具体化身，成了包罗万有赐生命的灵，住在使徒里面，作他的一切（圣经恢复本，林前十五10注2）。
8Not I but the grace of God equals no longer I…but…Christ in Galatians 2:20. The grace that motivated the apostle and operated in him was not some matter or some thing but a living person, the resurrected Christ, the embodiment of God the Father who became the all-inclusive life-giving Spirit, who dwelt in the apostle as his everything. (1 Cor. 15:10, footnote 2)
9新约的执事……是靠着生命（不是任何恩赐）与神同工，这生命是全丰全足、全然成熟的，能适应一切处境，就是能忍受任何对待，接受各样环境，在各种情形里作工，并把握各种机会，好完成他们的职事（林后六1注1）。
9The ministers of the new covenant…worked together with God by a life (not by any gift) that was all-sufficient and all-mature, able to fit all situations, that is, able to endure any kind of treatment, to accept any kind of environment, to work in any kind of condition, and to take any kind of opportunity, for the carrying out of their ministry. (2 Cor. 6:1, footnote 1)

Today’s Reading
10圣经里有三个主要的预表，描绘神借以完成祂定旨的路。这些预表就是迦南美地、圣殿和新妇。……基督包罗万有的预表〔乃是〕美地。我们必须看见基督作神的恩典，如何就是那给我们进入、享受、经历、有分并据有的美地。
10There are three major types in the Bible portraying the way by which God fulfills His purpose. These types are the good land of Canaan, the temple, and the bride…The all-inclusive type of Christ [is] the good land. We have to see how Christ as the grace of God is the very good land for us to enter into, to enjoy, to experience, to partake of, and to possess.
11在哥林多前书，保罗将哥林多人比作以色列人。他们借着经历基督作逾越节，离开了埃及（五7），并且他们在旷野飘流，经历了基督作属天的吗哪，并作流出活水的灵磐石（十3~4）。但在哥林多前书里，没有提到以色列人最终进入并据有的迦南美地。进入美地的记载在哪里？乃在哥林多后书。虽然该书没有使用美地这辞，但就属灵一面说，我们能看见哥林多后书里的美地。在这卷书里，美地就是那作经过过程之三一神具体化身的基督自己，赐给我们作神圣的恩典，给我们享受。我们在这卷书里，看见一些人享有基督作神给他们的分；这些人进入神所应许并赐给的美地，且在享受这地，就是基督自己。
11In 1 Corinthians Paul likened the Corinthians to the children of Israel. They had left Egypt by experiencing Christ as the Passover (5:7), and they were wandering in the wilderness, experiencing Christ as the heavenly manna and as the spiritual rock that flowed out the living water (10:3-4). But there is no reference in 1 Corinthians to the good land of Canaan, which the children of Israel eventually entered into and possessed. Where is the record of entering into the good land? It is in 2 Corinthians. Although the term of the good land is not used in this book, spiritually speaking, we can see the good land in 2 Corinthians. The good land in this book is Christ Himself as the very embodiment of the processed Triune God given to us as the divine grace for our enjoyment. In this book we see some persons who possessed Christ as their God-given portion. These persons entered into the land promised and given by God, and they were enjoying this land, which is Christ Himself.
12在这卷书里，基督乃是恩典。保罗在十三章十四节说，“愿主耶稣基督的恩，神的爱，圣灵的交通，与你们众人同在。”按照正确的次序，应当先说神的爱；这里先说主的恩，因为哥林多后书是着重基督的恩（一12，四15，六1，八1、9，九8、14，十二9）。主的恩是这卷书的中心思想和主题。主在十二章九节告诉保罗，祂的恩典是够他用的。
12In this book Christ is the grace. In 13:14 Paul says, “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.” According to the proper sequence, the love of God should be first. Here the grace of the Lord is mentioned first because 2 Corinthians is on the grace of Christ (1:12; 4:15; 6:1; 8:1, 9; 9:8, 14; 12:9). The grace of the Lord is the central thought, the subject, of this book. In 12:9 the Lord told Paul that His grace was sufficient for him.
13我们对恩典这辞也许相当熟悉，但我们对这辞的领会也许非常肤浅。许多基督徒以为恩典是不配得的恩惠，是主白白赐给的东西。……但我们〔也〕必须看见，新约告诉我们，恩典主要的就是基督自己（林前十五10，参加二20），作经过过程之三一神的具体化身，给我们享受。……基督工作的目的，乃是使祂能进到我们里面。祂死在十字架上不是目的，乃是凭借，好达成祂的目的，就是进到我们里面作我们的享受，使我们能享受祂作我们的生命、我们生命的供应、我们的力量并我们的一切。恩典乃是基督进到我们里面，作我们完满的享受。……最大的恩典不是你接受什么东西，乃是有一位在你里面，加给你力量，使你能够把东西给人。恩典不是外面所接受的东西，乃是有一位在里面，加我们力量，加强我们，使我们能为主作事（李常受文集一九六七年第二册，二四七至二五○页）。
13The term grace is quite familiar to us, but we may have a very shallow understanding of this term. Many Christians consider that grace is unmerited favor, something given to us by the Lord freely…But we must [also] see that the New Testament shows us that grace is nothing less than Christ Himself (1 Cor. 15:10; cf. Gal. 2:20-21) as the very embodiment of the processed Triune God for our enjoyment…The purpose of the work of Christ was so that He could come into us. His dying on the cross was not the purpose but the means to fulfill the purpose of Him coming into us for our enjoyment in order that we may enjoy Him as our life, our life supply, our strength, and our everything. Grace is Christ coming into us as our full enjoyment. The greatest grace is not that we receive something but that there is Someone within us energizing us and enabling us to give something to others. Grace is not something received outwardly but Someone within, energizing, enabling, and strengthening us to do something for the Lord. (CWWL, 1967, vol. 2, “An Autobiography of a Person in the Spirit,” pp. 197-199)

今日要点
15主题：哥林多后书启示，包罗万有美地乃是恩典—基督
15
16引经：林前十五10，林前六1
16
171.保罗将以色列人进美地的图画，写给哥林多人：
17
18a. 在哥林多前书，保罗用旧约以色列人的历史作新约信徒的豫表，将哥林多人比作以色列人，他们借着经历基督作逾越节，离开了埃及所豫表的世界，并且在旷野飘流，经历了基督作属天的吗哪，并作流出活水的灵磐石，但在这卷书中没有题到美地。
18
19b. 进入美地的记载在哪里？乃是在哥林多后书，如何证明呢？答案是，虽然林后没有出现美地一词，但就属灵一面说，美地就是那作经过过程之三一神具体化身的基督自己，赐给我们作神圣的恩典，给我们享受。
19
202. 哥林多后书启示，包罗万有美地乃是恩典—基督：
20
21a. 所以美地的实际，乃是在哥林多后书，保罗在林前十五10节说，这不是我，乃是神的恩，保罗把恩典拟人化，指出恩典乃是一个活的人位，复活的基督，赐生命的灵，住在使徒里面，作他的享受，这节也等于加二20所说，不再是我，乃是基督。
21
22b.在哥林多后书最后一节，林后十三14说，「愿主耶稣基督的恩，神的爱，圣灵的交通，与你们众人同在」，按常理，应该先说神的爱，这里却先说主的恩，因为这卷书着重基督作为恩典，因此恩典乃是哥林多后书的中心与主题，为着建造召会作神的家和神的国。
22
23应用：许多基督徒错误以为恩典是不配得的天来赏赐，但我们需要看见，恩典就是作包罗万有美地的基督，给我们享受，我们不该像乞丐祈求这个那个，而该在灵里经历基督作恩典，应付一切我们无法应付的事物。
