11申十二5~7 但耶和华你们的神……所选择出来立祂名的地方,就是祂的居所,那是你们当寻求的,你们要往那里去,将你们的燔祭和别的祭,十分取一之物,……都奉到那里;在那里,耶和华你们神的面前,你们和你们的家属都可以吃,并且因你手所办的一切事蒙耶和华你的神赐福,就都欢乐。
11Deut. 12:5-7 But to the place which Jehovah your God will choose… to put His name, to His habitation, shall you seek, and there shall you go. And there you shall bring your burnt offerings and your sacrifices and your tithes…; and there you shall eat before Jehovah your God, and you and your households shall rejoice in all your undertakings, in which Jehovah your God has blessed you.
12以色列人不可在他们所选择的地方敬拜神,享受他们献给神的供物(申十二81317)。他们要到神所选择立祂名的地方,就是到祂的居所和祂的祭坛那里敬拜神(5~6),将他们的十分取一之物、供物和祭物带到那里给神。……要履行这些要求,就要有独一的敬拜中心,如后来的耶路撒冷(代下六5~6约四20),以保守神百姓中间的一,避免因着人的偏好而造成分裂(圣经恢复本,申十二5注1)。
12The children of Israel were not allowed to worship God and enjoy the offerings they presented to God in the place of their choice (Deut. 12:8, 13, 17). They were to worship God in the place of His choice, the place where His name, His habitation, and His altar were (vv. 5-6), by bringing their tithes, offerings, and sacrifices to Him there…To fulfill these requirements was to have a unique center of worship, as Jerusalem would be later (2 Chron. 6:5-6; John 4:20), for the keeping of the oneness among God’s people, thus avoiding the division caused by man’s preferences. (Deut. 12:5, footnote 1)

13新约中关于敬拜神这事的启示,至少在四方面与申命记十二章的启示相符:首先,神的子民总该是一,他们中间不该有分裂(诗一三三,约十七1121~23林前一10弗四3)。第二,神的子民该聚集到独一的名里,这名就是主耶稣基督的名(太十八20林前一12与注),其实际乃是那灵(十二3)。用任何别的名称,乃是宗派的、分裂的;这是属灵的淫乱(见启三8注3)。第三,在新约里神的住处,神的居所,乃是特别设在我们的灵里,也就是在我们调和的灵里,在我们蒙重生、由神圣的灵所内住之人的灵里(约三6下罗八16提后四22弗二22)。我们在敬拜神的聚会里,必须操练我们的灵,并在我们的灵里作一切事(约四24林前十四15)。第四,我们敬拜神时,必须真实地应用祭坛所表征之基督的十字架,拒绝肉体、己和天然生命,并单单凭基督来敬拜神(太十六24加二20)。因此,神子民敬拜神的聚会,该在主耶稣基督的名里,在作神居所之调和的灵里,在十字架所在之处,并且享受基督作为十分取一之物、供物和祭物的实际(见约四24注4)。这是神子民的一,这是敬拜神正确的立场(圣经恢复本,申十二5注1)。
13The revelation in the New Testament concerning the worship of God corresponds to the revelation in Deuteronomy 12 in at least four ways: First, the people of God should always be one; there should be no divisions among them (Psa. 133; John 17:11, 21-23…). Second, the unique name into which God’s people should gather is the name of the Lord Jesus Christ (Matt. 18:20; 1 Cor. 1:12 and footnotes), the reality of which name is the Spirit (v. 3). To be designated by any other name is to be denominated, divided; this is spiritual fornication (see footnote 3 on Rev. 3:8). Third, in the New Testament God’s habitation, His dwelling place, is particularly located in our spirit, that is, in our mingled spirit, our human spirit regenerated and indwelt by the divine Spirit (John 3:6b; Rom. 8:16; 2 Tim. 4:22; Eph. 2:22). In our meeting for the worship of God, we must exercise our spirit and do everything in our spirit (John 4:24; 1 Cor. 14:15). Fourth, in our worship of God we must have the genuine application of the cross of Christ, signified by the altar, by rejecting the flesh, the self, and the natural life and worshipping God with Christ and Christ alone (Matt. 16:24; Gal. 2:20). Hence, the meeting of God’s people for the worship of God should be in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, in the mingled spirit as the place of God’s habitation, in the place where the cross is, and with the enjoyment of Christ as the reality of the tithes, the offerings, and the sacrifices (see footnote 4 on John 4:24). This is the oneness of God’s people, and this is the proper ground for the worship of God. (Deut. 12:5, footnote 1)
14在诗篇七十三篇十七至二十八节,我们看见诗人在神的圣所里得着了〔他对于恶人兴旺之问题的〕解答。“等我进了神的圣所,我才看清他们的结局。”〔17〕……我们要进入神的圣所,就需要转向我们的灵,并参加召会的聚会。我们一在圣所里,……就会对恶人的情形有另一种看法,有特别的领会(诗篇生命读经,四三五页)。
14In Psalm 73:17 through 28 we see that the psalmist obtained the solution [to his question concerning the prosperity of the wicked] in the sanctuary of God. “Until I went into the sanctuary of God; / Then I perceived their end.”… To go into the sanctuary of God, we need to turn to our spirit and then go to the meetings of the church. Once we are in the sanctuary,…we will have another view, a particular perception, of the situation concerning the wicked. (Life-study of the Psalms, p. 354)
15当我们进入那地,就是包罗万有的基督,我们就不能再随自己眼中所看为正的去作。我们不能在自己所选择的地方,和神的儿女聚集,有团体的敬拜。我们必须去神所选择的地方,去那一个中心,那一个合一的立场。
15When we come into that land which is the all-inclusive Christ, we can no longer do what is right in our own eyes. We cannot meet with the Lord’s children for corporate worship in the places we choose. We must go to the place which the Lord has chosen, to that one center, that one ground of unity.
16在今日的基督教里,每一个人的举动都好像他有权利可以照着自己的喜欢来选择。有一句话是很流行的:“去参加你所看为好的会。”我愿意声嘶力竭地向所有神的儿女喊叫说,“你没有选择的余地!”从一方面来说,你有完全的自由,无论你在何处,都可以自己享受基督;但是当你和神的儿女聚集敬拜神的时候,你就失去了你的自由。神的儿女聚集的地方,必须是神自己所指定的地方(李常受文集一九六一至一九六二年第四册,四七一至四七二页)。
16In Christianity today everyone acts as if he has the right to choose according to his own desire. The saying is popular and current, “Attend the church of your choice.” I would like to shout at the top of my voice to all the Lord’s children,” You have no choice!” On one hand, you have full liberty to enjoy Christ by yourself wherever you are, but when you gather with the Lord’s children to worship Him you have lost your liberty. The place where the Lord’s children gather must be the very place appointed by the Lord Himself. (The All-inclusive Christ, p. 181)

今日要点
18主题:与神并与人同享美地所经营的基督之必要条件

19引经:申十二5~7,补诗七三17
19
201.在神所选择独一的立场上聚集展览基督:
20
21a. 申命记十二章五至七节指出,百姓要往「耶和华你们的神…所选择立祂名的地方」去,将上好的出产十分之一献上,与神同享,这指出,以色列人不可在他们所选择的地方敬拜神,享受他们献给神的祭物。
21
22b. 我们要过享受美地基督的生活,就必须在主所选择的地方,就是我们的灵里并在一的独一立场上,实行一城一会,与主的儿女聚集在一起而有团体的敬拜,这样才能保守基督身体独一的一,而经历并享受主作为涂抹的膏油,新鲜的甘露,和命定之生命的福。
22
232.在灵和召会里展览基督:
23
24a. 主所选择的地方,首先,神的圣所(居所),是在我们的灵里,第二,神的圣所乃是召会,因此,要进入神的圣所,就需要转向我们的灵,并参加召会的聚会,此外,我们还必须在一的真正立场,就是神所选择立祂名的地方,保守基督身体独一的一。
24
25b.主所选择的地方有四个特征,第一,只有主的名,没有其他的名,第二,满了灵的操练,作神在灵里的居所,第三,享受基督丰富的美地,第四,欢呼喜乐的地方。
25
26应用:借着时时刻刻操练我们的灵,回到灵里,使我们能够如诗七三篇诗人,进入圣所就看清结局一样,我们就会对恶人的情形有另一种看法,并且不受到搅扰。
