纲目
1叁 我们需要留意主在马太十一章二十八至三十节的话—『凡劳苦担重担的,可以到我这里来,我必使你们得安息。我心里柔和谦卑,因此你们要负我的轭,且要跟我学,你们魂里就必得安息;因为我的轭是容易的,我的担子是轻省的』:
1
2一 劳苦不仅是指为了遵守律法诫命和宗教规条而努力的劳苦,也是指为了工作成功而奋斗的劳苦;凡这样劳苦的,总是担重担的。
2
3二 安息不仅是指从律法与宗教,或工作与责任的劳苦并重担中得着释放,也是指完全的平安和完满的满足。
3
4三 负主的轭就是接受父的旨意;这不是受律法或宗教义务的规律或支配,也不是受任何工作的奴役,乃是受父旨意的约束。
4
5四 主过这样的生活,并不在意别的,只在意祂父的旨意;(约四34五30六38赛四二4上,参五三2十一1~4上;)祂将自己完全降服于父的旨意;(太二六3942;)因此,祂要我们跟祂学。 (弗四20~21。)
5
6五 柔和(或,温柔),意即不抵抗任何反对;谦卑,意即不重看自己:祂将自己完全降服于父的旨意,不为自己作什么,也不盼望为自己得什么;因此,无论环境如何,祂心里都有安息;祂完全以父的旨意为满足。
6
7六 负主的轭、跟主学,就叫我们的魂得安息;这是里面的安息,不是任何仅仅在本质上是外面的事物。
7
8七 主的轭是父的旨意,祂的担子是将父旨意实行出来的工作;这样的轭是容易的,不是痛苦的;这样的担子是轻省的,不是沉重的—参玛三14
8
9八 祂的轭是容易的,意即祂的轭,也就是父的旨意,是美好、亲切、柔和、温良、愉快的,与艰难、严酷、尖锐、痛苦相对。

10太十一28~30 凡劳苦担重担的,可以到我这里来,我必使你们得安息。我心里柔和谦卑,因此你们要负我的轭,且要跟我学,你们魂里就必得安息;因为我的轭是容易的,我的担子是轻省的。
10Matt. 11:28-30 Come to Me all who toil and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am meek and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.
11在马太十一章二十八节,……主似乎是说,“……你们宗教徒和属世的人,凡劳苦担重担的,可以到我这里来,我必使你们得安息。”这真是恩典的话!二十八节所提的劳苦,不仅是指为了遵守律法诫命和宗教规条而努力的劳苦,也是指为了工作成功而奋斗的劳苦。凡这样劳苦的,总是担重担的。主颂扬父,承认父的道路,并宣告神圣的经纶之后,便呼召这样的人到祂这里来得安息。安息不仅是指从律法与宗教,或工作与责任的劳苦并重担中得着释放,也是指完全的平安和完满的满足(马太福音生命读经,四三九至四四○页)。
11The Lord seemed to be saying, “…All of you religious people and all of you worldly people who are toiling and are burdened, come to Me, and I will give you rest.” What a gracious word! The toil mentioned in Matthew 11:28 refers not only to the toil of striving to keep the commandments of the law and religious regulations but also to the toil of struggling to be successful in any work. Whoever toils thus is always heavily burdened. After the Lord extolled the Father, acknowledging the Father’s way and declaring the divine economy, He called this kind of people to come to Him for rest. Rest refers not only to being set free from the toil and burden under the law or religion or under any work or responsibility but also to perfect peace and full satisfaction. (Life-study of Matthew, second edition, pp. 371-372)

12负主的轭就是接受父的旨意。这不是受律法或宗教义务的规律或支配,也不是受任何工作的奴役,乃是受父旨意的约束。主过这样的生活,并不在意别的,只在意祂父的旨意(约四34五30六38)。祂将自己完全降服于父的旨意(太二六3942)。因此,祂要我们跟祂学。神的旨意就是我们的轭。因此,我们不能为所欲为;我们乃是负轭的。青年人,不要以为你们是这么自由逍遥。在主的恢复里,我们都负了轭。负轭是何等美好!主的轭是容易的,祂的担子是轻省的。主的轭是父的旨意,祂的担子是将父旨意实行出来的工作。这样的轭是容易的,不是痛苦的;这样的担子是轻省的,不是沉重的。容易,原文表明合用;因此是美好、亲切、柔和、温良、容易、愉快的,与艰难、严酷、尖锐、痛苦相对。
12To take the Lord’s yoke is to take the will of the Father. It is not to be regulated or controlled by any obligations of the law or religion or to be enslaved by any work but to be constrained by the will of the Father. The Lord lived such a life, caring for nothing but the will of His Father (John 4:34; 5:30; 6:38). He submitted Himself fully to the Father’s will (Matt. 26:39, 42). Hence, He asks us to learn from Him. God’s will is our yoke. Thus, we are not free to do as we please; rather, we are yoked. Young people, do not think that you are so free or liberated. In the Lord’s recovery we all have been yoked. How good it is to be yoked! The Lord’s yoke is easy and His burden is light. The Lord’s yoke is the Father’s will, and His burden is the work to carry out the Father’s will. Such a yoke is easy, not bitter, and such a burden is light, not heavy. The Greek word rendered “easy” means “fit for use”; hence, good, kindly, mild, gentle, easy, pleasant, in contrast to hard, harsh, sharp, and bitter.
13在马太十一章二十九节,主告诉我们要跟祂学。祂心里柔和谦卑。……在一切的敌对中,主是柔和的;在一切的弃绝里,祂心里是谦卑的。祂将自己完全降服于父的旨意,不为自己作什么,也不盼望为自己得什么。因此,无论环境如何,祂心里都有安息;祂完全以父的旨意为满足。……主说,我们若负祂的轭,且跟祂学,我们魂里就必得安息。负主的轭,跟主学,就叫我们的魂得安息。
13In 11:29 the Lord told us to learn from Him. He is meek and lowly in heart…Throughout all the opposition the Lord was meek, and throughout all the rejection He was lowly in heart. He submitted Himself fully to the will of His Father, not wanting to do anything for Himself or expecting to gain something for Himself. Hence, regardless of the situation He had rest in His heart; He was fully satisfied with His Father’s will. The Lord said that if we take His yoke upon us and learn from Him, we will find rest for our souls.
14我们尽职事遭受反对时,我们若抵抗,就没有平安。但我们若不抵抗,而降服于父的旨意,见证反对是出于父,我们魂里就会得着安息。施浸者约翰不认为他的下监是出于父,所以他没有安息。他若领悟他的下监是由于父的旨意,即使在监里,他也必得着安息。基督这位属天的君王,总是降服于父的旨意,接受神的旨意作祂的分,不抵抗任何事,所以祂一直有安息。我们必须跟祂学,也必须接受这样的观点。若是这样,我们魂里就会得着安息(马太福音生命读经,四四○至四四一页)。
14If we are opposed as we minister, and we resist, we will not have peace. But if instead of resisting we submit to the will of the Father, testifying that the opposition is of the Father, we will have rest in our souls. John the Baptist did not regard his imprisonment as of the Father; therefore, he was not at rest. If he had realized that his imprisonment was due to the Father’s will, he would have been at rest, even in prison. Christ, the heavenly King, always submitted to the Father’s will, taking God’s will as His portion and not resisting anything. Hence, He was always at rest. We must learn of Him and also take this view. If we do, we will have rest in our souls. (Life-study of Matthew, second edition, pp. 372-373)
15主嘱咐门徒说,祂心里柔和谦卑,因此他们要负祂的轭,且要跟祂学,他们魂里就必得安息(29)。柔和的意思是不抵抗任何反对;谦卑意即不重看自己。主是叫我们的魂得安息;这是里面的安息,不是任何仅仅在本质上是外面的事物。困苦和艰难是在我们的魂里。保罗告诉我们应当一无挂虑,只要将我们所要的告诉主。这样,神的平安必在基督耶稣里,保卫我们的心怀意念(腓四6~7)。……在神经纶中的每一件事,都不是重担,乃是享受(李常受文集一九九四至一九九七年第三册,六九一至六九二页)。
15The Lord charged the disciples to take His yoke upon them and learn from Him because He is meek and lowly in heart, and they would find rest for their souls (Matt. 11:29). To be meek means to not resist opposition, and to be lowly means to not have self-esteem. The rest from the Lord is for our souls; it is an inward rest, not something merely outward in nature. The harassment and the troubles are in our soul. Paul tells us to be anxious in nothing and to tell the Lord all our requests. Then the peace of God will guard our hearts and our thoughts in Christ Jesus (Phil. 4:6-7). Everything in God’s economy is not a heavy burden but an enjoyment. (CWWL, 1994-1997, vol. 3, “The God-man Living,” p. 550)

今日要点
17主题:在今世到主这里来得安息
17
18引经:太十一28~30
18
191.借着到主这里来,而经历基督是安息日的安息:
19
20A.以色列人进美地乃是一幅图画,指出今天新约信徒,需要进入基督以享受安息,为此,我们需要留意主在太十一28~30的话,『凡劳苦担重担的,可以到我这里来,我必使你们得安息。我心里柔和谦卑,因此你们要负我的轭,且要跟我学,你们魂里就必得安息;因为我的轭是容易的,我的担子是轻省的。』
20
21B.我们来分解这一段经文,这里第一说到,劳苦担重担,这不仅指遵守律法诫命和宗教规条而努力的劳苦,也指为工作成功而奋斗的劳苦,凡是这样劳苦的,总是担重担的,第二,主呼召人到主这里得安息,安息不仅是指从律法与宗教,责任与重担中得释放,也是指完全的平安和完满的满足。
21
222.接受父的旨意,而能够有真安息:
22
23A.然后,我们要跟主学,主的心里柔和谦卑,在一切的敌对中,主是柔和的,在一切的弃绝中,主是谦卑的,他将自己完全降服在父的旨意,就是这样,主心里才有安息,接着,我们需要负主的轭,负主的轭不是模仿主拿一个十字架起来背,而是接受父的旨意。
23
24b.这样,我们的魂就必得安息,因为主的轭是容易的,主的担子是轻省的,在这段经文中,第一个得安息,原文是动词,在安息里的意思,我们回到灵里,就能来到主这里,就能进到作为安息的主里面,而第二个安息,原文是名词,也就是这个得安息不仅是过程,甚至我们的结果就是在安息里。
24
25应用:年轻人都向往自由,但为着神的旨意,我们要学习接受这个轭,而从为所欲为,爱服事就服事,不爱服事就拉倒的光景出来,愿意接受主的轭,靠主不抵抗任何服事,无论传福音,牧养小羊,都经历主的轭是轻省容易的。
