8约十五4~5 你们要住在我里面,我也住在你们里面。枝子若不住在葡萄树上,自己就不能结果子,你们若不住在我里面,也是这样。我是葡萄树,你们是枝子;住在我里面的,我也住在他里面,这人就多结果子;因为离了我,你们就不能作什么。
8John 15:4-5 Abide in Me and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me. I am the vine; you are the branches. He who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit; for apart from Me you can do nothing.
9我们是葡萄树的枝子,需要住在葡萄树(神的基督)里。主耶稣说,“你们要住在我里面,我也住在你们里面。枝子若不住在葡萄树上,自己就不能结果子,你们若不住在我里面,也是这样。我是葡萄树,你们是枝子;住在我里面的,我也住在他里面,这人就多结果子;因为离了我,你们就不能作什么。”(约十五4~5)。唯有当枝子住在葡萄树上,葡萄树对枝子才是一切。因这缘故,主说到祂自己是葡萄树,我们是枝子:“你们要住在我里面,我也住在你们里面。”我们的生活和享受,就是住在葡萄树上。我们作枝子的定命,就是留在葡萄树上(新约总论第九册,二○八页)。
9As branches of the vine, we need to abide in the vine, the Christ of God. The Lord Jesus said, “Abide in Me and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me. I am the vine; you are the branches. He who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit; for apart from Me you can do nothing” (John 15:4-5). Only when the branches abide in the vine can the vine be everything to them. This is the reason the Lord said concerning Himself as the vine and us as the branches, “Abide in Me and I in you.” Our life and enjoyment are to abide in the vine. Our destiny as branches is to remain in the vine. (The Conclusion of the New Testament, pp. 2931-2932)

10离了葡萄树,我们这些枝子就不能作什么。葡萄树上的枝子不能凭自己而活,因为离了葡萄树,枝子就会枯萎死去。……凡我们所是、所有并所作的,必须是在主里,且凭着在我们里面的主。因此,我们住在主里面,主也住在我们里面,是很紧要的。……住在神的基督里是紧要的事。结果子在于住。……我们住在祂里面,是祂住在我们里面的条件。因此,主说,“你们要住在我里面,我也住在你们里面。”我们若不住在祂里面,就不能符合祂住在我们里面的条件。祂的住在于我们的住。这个互住会产生果子。
10Apart from the vine, we, the branches, can do nothing. A branch of a vine cannot live by itself, for it will wither and die apart from the vine…What we are, what we have, and what we do must be in the Lord and by the Lord in us. Therefore, it is crucial for us to abide in the Lord and for the Lord to abide in us…Abiding in the Christ of God is a crucial matter. Fruit-bearing depends on abiding…Our abiding in Him is the condition of His abiding in us. Thus, the Lord said, “Abide in Me and I in you.” If we do not abide in Him, we fail to meet the condition of His abiding in us. His abiding depends on our abiding. This mutual abiding will bring forth fruit.
11基督这真葡萄树是满有生命的生机体,像生命树一样(创二9)。……在约翰十五章二至八节我们看见,葡萄树上的枝子是为着结果子,以彰显神圣分赐里父生命的丰富。基督里的信徒是接枝到祂这宇宙中真葡萄树里的许多枝子,为祂多结果子,使祂得以在扩展中扩大,叫他们成为彰显三一神的生机体。
11Christ as the true vine is an organism full of life, like the tree of life (Gen. 2:9). In John 15:2-8 we see that the branches in the vine are for the bearing of fruit to express the riches of the Father’s life in the divine dispensing. The believers in Christ are His many branches grafted into Him, the true vine in the universe, to bear much fruit for His enlargement in His spreading, that they might express the Triune God as His organism.
12当葡萄树结出成串葡萄,神圣生命的丰富就得着彰显。这彰显就是父的得荣耀〔8〕,因为父是神圣的生命。……没有果子,葡萄树的素质、本质和生命就被隐藏、遮蔽并限制。然而,葡萄树内里生命的丰富,借着累累的果实就得着彰显。这样彰显内里的生命,就是将神圣的素质从葡萄树里释放出来。……日复一日,我们需要过结果子的生活,这样我们就荣耀父。我们越在结果子上彰显神圣的生命,父就越得着荣耀。
12When the vine tree bears clusters of grapes, the riches of the divine life are expressed. This expression is the glorification of the Father [v. 8] because the Father is the divine life…Apart from the fruit, the essence, substance, and life of the vine tree are concealed, hidden, and confined. However, the riches of the inner life of the vine are expressed in the clusters of fruit. To express the inner life in this way is to release the divine substance from within the vine. Day by day we need to live a life that bears fruit, and in this way we glorify the Father. The more we express the divine life in fruit-bearing, the more the Father is glorified.
13结果子也是内里生命之丰富的洋溢。结果子乃是我们内里生命洋溢的事。我们需要不断享受基督作我们的一切,然后我们会有丰盛的内里生命;从这丰盛的内里生命,会有一道流临及别人,而渗透他们的生命。这流会结许多果子;这样的结果子乃是内里生命的表显。葡萄树内里的生命乃是父一切所是和所有的丰富。这要借着葡萄树结果子得彰显。因此,葡萄树结果子就是在子里彰显父。
13Fruit-bearing is also the overflow of the riches of the inner life. Bearing fruit is a matter of the overflow of our inner life. We need continuously to enjoy Christ as everything to us. Then we shall have an abundance of inner life. Out of this abundance of inner life there will be a flow that will reach others, penetrating into their lives. This flow will bear much fruit. This kind of fruit-bearing is the manifestation of the inner life. The inner life of the vine is the riches of all that the Father is and has. This is to be manifested by the fruit-bearing of the vine. Hence, the vine’s fruit-bearing is to express the Father in the Son.
14父是葡萄树的源头,子是葡萄树,那灵是葡萄树的生命汁液。这伟大的葡萄树,就是三一神的生机体。父所是的一切都在这生机体里,都具体表现在这葡萄树,就是神圣三一的第二者里面。在这葡萄树里有那灵流通的生命之流。那灵带着父的丰富,来供应葡萄树及其枝子。我们被接枝其上的这葡萄树,乃是三一神的生机体(新约总论第九册,二○八至二一一、二一三至二一六页)。
14The Father is the source of the vine, the Son is the vine, and the Spirit is the life-juice of the vine. This great vine is the organism of the Triune God. All that the Father is, is in this organism, embodied in the vine, which is the second of the Trinity. Within the vine is the circulating life flow of the Spirit. It is the Spirit who carries the riches of the Father to sustain the vine and its branches. This vine into which we have been grafted is the organism of the Triune God. (The Conclusion of the New Testament, pp. 2932-2933, 29352938)

今日要点
16主题:不凭天然生命,凭基督牺牲的生命,而为人牺牲、将欢乐带给人,使人喜乐
16
17引经:约十五4~5
17
181.认识天然生命无法牺牲:
18
19A.我们看见基督这美地有葡萄树,是很重要的,因为在我们自己里面,我们无法牺牲,我们天然的生命,不是牺牲的生命,而是自私的生命,为此,约十五4~5说,枝子若不住在葡萄树上,就不能结果子,甚至说,离了基督这真葡萄树,信徒就不能作什么,惟有当枝子住在葡萄树上,葡萄树对枝子才是一切。
19
20B.所以今天我们不能凭自己而活,这不会有牺牲,也无法产出新酒,使神和人喜乐,今天我们已经得救,真葡萄树那牺牲的生命已经分赐到我们里面,而被这新酒灌满、灌醉,加给我们力量,使我们能够不自私,喜乐地过牺牲的生活,为神和人牺牲,使神和人喜乐。
20
212.基督牺牲的生命,而为人牺牲、将欢乐带给人,使人喜乐
21
22A.当葡萄树结出成串的葡萄,神圣生命的丰富就得着彰显,这彰显就是父的得荣耀,因为父是神圣的生命,没有果子,葡萄树的素质、本质、生命就被隐藏、遮蔽并限制,然而,葡萄树內里生命的丰富,借着累累的果实就得着彰显,今天我们要借着住在基督这真葡萄树上,而过结果子的生活,这样就使父得着荣耀。
22
23B.父是葡萄树的源头,子是葡萄树,这生命的具体化身,而那灵是葡萄树的生命汁液,这伟大的葡萄树,就是三一神的生机体,父所是的一切都在这生机体里,都具体表现在这葡萄树上,今天那灵带着父的丰富,来供应葡萄树及其枝子,使我们做三一神的生机体,使祂得着彰显。
23
24应用:我们这些枝子离了葡萄树,就不能作什么,就无法牺牲,无法使神与人喜乐,因此我们需要操练不断地住在主的话里面,好让主那牺牲的生命能够住在我们里面,为此我们需要借着追求生命读经以进入圣经,得着圣经的滋养与供应。
