纲目
1贰 小麦表征成为肉体、被钉死并埋葬的基督，而大麦表征复活的基督—申八8上：
1
2一 在美地大麦比其他谷物先成熟；因此，大麦是初熟的果子—林前十五20：
2
31 因着大麦成熟得早，所以大麦是庄稼中的初熟果子—这预表复活、不受限制的基督—20节。
3
42 我们喜乐地学知基督是大麦，是在我们里面复活的基督，祂能应付每个处境。
4
53 基督这复活的初熟果子，乃是从死人中的首生者，使祂成为身体的头（西一18，弗一20～23）；祂这身体的头既已复活，我们作为身体也必复活。
5
64 作为初熟的果子，基督已经成为生命的粮（饼）；因此，大麦饼表征在复活里的基督是我们的食物—约六48：
6
7a 五这数字表征负责任；这指明复活的基督能承担责任。
7
8b 我们从基督这大麦饼得喂养时，我们就成为大麦饼，以我们所经历的基督喂养别人。
8
95 主耶稣用五个大麦饼能使五千人吃饱，还剩下十二篮的零碎；这就是复活—太十四14～21，约六9、13。
9
10二 正如大麦所预表的，复活的基督乃是无限的—腓四13：
10
111 小麦指基督的成为肉体、受死与埋葬，随后，大麦指祂的复活，就是复活的基督—约十一25，弗—20。

12约六9~10 这里有一个孩童，他有五个大麦饼、两条鱼，只是供给这么多人，还算什么？耶稣说，你们叫众人坐下。原来那地方的草多。坐下的男人，数目约有五千。
12John 6:9-10 There is a little boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish; but what are these for so many? Jesus said, Have the people recline. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men reclined, in number about five thousand.
13小麦是指〔基督〕的成为肉体、死和埋葬，而接着这个，大麦是指祂的复活，复活的基督。我们怎能证明这个呢？在迦南地大麦总是先成熟的；在所有谷物中大麦是首先的。在利未记二十三章十节主说，“你要对以色列人说，你们进了我赐给你们的地，收割庄稼的时候，要将初熟的庄稼一捆带给祭司。”到了收割庄稼的时候，初熟的庄稼必须献上给神，而初熟的庄稼明显的就是大麦。现在我们必须读林前十五章二十节：“但如今基督，就是睡了之人初熟的果子，已经从死人中复活。”所有圣经的学者都承认，初熟的庄稼乃是预表基督作复活初熟的果子。因此我们能证明，大麦是代表复活的基督（李常受文集一九六一至一九六二年第四册，三○五至三○六页）。
13Wheat points to [Christ’s] incarnation, death, and burial, and following this the barley points to His resurrection, the resurrected Christ. How can we prove it? In the land of Canaan the barley always ripens first; among all the grains the barley is first. In Leviticus 23:10 the Lord said, “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When you come into the land which I am giving you, and reap its harvest, then you shall bring the sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest to the priest.” When the harvest time came, the firstfruits of the harvest had to be offered to the Lord, and the firstfruits were clearly the barley. Now we must read 1 Corinthians 15:20: “Now Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.” All students of the Scriptures recognize that the firstfruits of the harvest typify Christ as the firstfruits of resurrection. We can prove by this that barley represents the resurrected Christ. (CWWL, 1961-1962, vol. 4, “The Allinclusive Christ,” p. 233)

14〔小麦和大麦〕代表基督的两方面，祂的来和祂的去。基督降下来是作小麦，基督升上去是作大麦。……你曾否经历基督作小麦？你曾否经历基督作大麦？小麦是基督的哪一种经历？大麦又是基督的哪一种经历？
14[Wheat and barley] represent two aspects of Christ, His coming and His going. They represent the Christ coming down to be the wheat and the Christ going up to be the barley…Have you experienced Christ as wheat? And have you ever experienced Christ as barley? What kind of experience of Christ is wheat? And what kind of experience of Christ is barley?
15当主耶稣给五千人吃饱的时候，祂是拿五个用大麦作成的饼给他们吃。……如果是小麦饼，那就有错误了。但这些饼不是小麦作的，乃是大麦饼。因为是大麦饼，就能使五千人吃饱，还剩下十二篮的零碎。这就是复活。基督只有在祂的复活里，对于我们才是丰富的。在祂的成为肉体里，祂是非常的有限；但在祂的复活里，祂是非常的丰富。作为复活的基督，祂是没有限制的。作为那成为肉体的基督，祂只是一粒麦子，一个小拿撒勒人，一个卑微的木匠。但是当祂进到复活里，祂是无限的；时间、空间和物质都不能再限制祂。虽然是五个饼，事实上乃是无数的饼，足够使五千人吃饱，妇女和小孩还不算在内；而且那些余剩的—装满了十二篮子—比原来的五个饼更多。这就是大麦，这就是基督在复活里；基督在祂的复活里是永不受限制的（李常受文集一九六一至一九六二年第四册，三○六至三○七页）。
15When Jesus fed the five thousand, he fed them with five loaves made of barley…If they were loaves of wheat, something would be wrong. But they were not wheat; they were loaves of barley. As barley loaves, they could feed five thousand people with twelve baskets of broken pieces left over. This is resurrection. Christ can only be rich to us in His resurrection. In His incarnation He is exceedingly limited, but in His resurrection He is so very rich. There is no limit to Him as the resurrected Christ. As Christ incarnated, He was just one grain, a little Nazarene, a humble carpenter. But when He came into resurrection, He was unlimited. Time and space and material things could limit Him no longer. There were five loaves, but in effect there were countless loaves. There was enough to feed five thousand, not counting the women and children, and the remains alone— twelve baskets full—were more than the original five loaves. This is barley. This is Christ in His resurrection. Christ in His resurrection can never be limited. (CWWL, 1961-1962, vol. 4, “The All-inclusive Christ,” pp. 233234)
16作为大麦，基督是无限的。根据约翰六章，基督用五个大麦饼使五千多人吃饱（9~10）。这五个饼剩下的零碎装满了十二篮子！这证明大麦是无限的。一方面，我们在生长受限制的耶稣；另一方面，我们在生长无限的基督。这位基督的丰富是追测不尽的，祂的能力是深奥的。我们能像保罗一样说，“我在那加我能力者的里面，凡事都能作。”（腓四13）凭着这位无限的基督，我能容忍我的妻子、我的孩子们以及所有的长老。
16As the barley, Christ is unlimited. According to John 6, Christ fed more than five thousand people with five loaves of barley (vv. 9-10), and the fragments left over from these five loaves filled twelve baskets! This proves that barley is unlimited. On the one hand, we are growing the limited Jesus; on the other hand, we are growing the unlimited Christ. The riches of this Christ are unsearchable, and His power is profound. Like Paul, we can say, “I am able to do all things in Him who empowers me” (Phil. 4:13). By this unlimited Christ I am able to bear my wife, my children, and all the elders.
17那些凭复活基督而活的姊妹们，能忍受她们的丈夫和所有的孩子。每位丈夫都给他的妻子难处。姊妹们，不要盼望嫁给一位天使。每个丈夫都是麻烦的。我们作丈夫的就是不知道如何同情妻子。那么姊妹们怎么办呢？她们必须说，“我们作妻子的是得胜有余，因为我们有一位无限的基督。复活的基督现今在我们里面，祂能忍受任何事情。”要学习长出受限制的耶稣和无限的基督来。我能见证，我有基督作小麦和大麦。我有大量的小麦和大麦，不但自己吃饱，也能叫别人吃饱（李常受文集一九七七年第一册，二九五至二九六页）。
17The sisters who live by the resurrected Christ can bear their husbands and all their children. Every husband gives his wife a difficult time. Sisters, do not expect to marry an angel. Every husband is troublesome. We husbands simply do not know how to sympathize with our wives. What then shall the sisters do? They must say, “We wives are more than conquerors because we have an unlimited Christ. The resurrected Christ is now in us, and He can bear anything.” Learn to grow the limited Jesus and the unlimited Christ. I can testify that I have Christ as both wheat and barley. I have an abundance of both wheat and barley on which to feed and with which to feed others. (CWWL, 1977, vol. 1, “The Kernel of the Bible,” p. 221)

今日要点
19主题：大麦表征复活的基督
19
20引经：申八8，约六9~10
20
211.大麦表征基督是初熟的大麦：
21
22a. 在申命记八章八节，那地不仅有小麦，也有大麦，大麦表征复活的基督，因为在美地，大麦比其他谷物先成熟，所以，大麦是初熟的果子，林前十五20说，基督，就是初熟的果子，已经从死人中复活，所以，大麦作为初熟的庄稼，豫表基督作初熟的果子。
22
23b.因此，小麦和大麦代表基督的两方面，祂的去和祂的来，基督降下来是作小麦，基督升上去是作大麦，在我们里面，不仅有受限制的基督，也有复活、不受限制的基督，祂也是死人中的首生者，是身体的头，作头的已经复活，作身体的也必复活。
23
242.经历复活的基督，在祂里面凡事都能：
24
25a. 在四卷福音书都有记载的五饼二鱼食饱五千的事例中，独有约翰在约六9~10指出，主所用的饼，乃是五个大麦饼，并且使五千人吃饱之后，还剩下十二篮的零碎，这就是复活，只有基督在祂的复活里，对我们的丰富，是追测不尽的。
25
26b. 作为大麦，基督不仅是丰富的，更是无限的，当我们经历大麦所豫表之复活的基督，我们就会经历祂的无限，就像保罗在监牢中说，他在主这位加力者里面，凡事都能作，事实上他并非在监狱为所欲为，而是他能够容忍一切受限制的环境，活出这一位作大麦的基督。
26
27应用：不要逃避我们的家庭、婚姻或召会生活，反之，我们要借着接触主，而能够容忍家人、召会的一切，不仅是因着作小麦的基督，祂也是作大麦的基督，无限的基督，使我们能够在一切的环境中，不受任何的限制。
