纲目
1肆 出埃及三十一章十二至十七节启示，安息日是在帐幕建造的嘱咐之后：
1
2— 『你们务要守我的安息日；因为这是我与你们之间世世代代的记号，使你们知道我是把你们分别为圣的耶和华。 ⋯故此，以色列人要谨守安息日，要世世代代守这安息日为永远的约。这是我与以色列人之间永远的记号；因为六日之内耶和华造天地，第七日便安息舒畅』—13，16～17节。
2
3二 第七日神便『安息舒畅』；人就是神的舒畅，因为人是按着神的形像造的，有灵，使人能与祂有交通，并作祂的同伴和配偶。
3
4三 我们必须看见以下的神圣原则—神首先以享受来供应我们，然后我们与祂同工；我们要在神的工作上与祂是一，就必须享受祂。
4
5四 在五旬节那天，门徒们充满了对主的享受一『他们⋯被新酒灌满了；』（徒二13；）然后彼得同着十一位使徒们站起来与主同工。 （14。）
5
6五 对神而言，是作工而安息；对人而言，是安息而作工；然后，我们与主是一而与祂同工。
6
7六 我们作为神的子民，必须带着一个记号，指明我们需要祂作我们的力量、能力和一切，使我们能与祂同工，为着建造召会作基督的身体；这就是尊崇并荣耀祂—林前十五10，58。
7
8七 我们带着的记号乃是我们与神一同安息，享受神，因神得着舒畅，并且先被神充满，然后与充满我们的那一位是一而与祂同工；这是我们与神之间永远的约，永远的合同。

9出三一17 这是我与以色列人之间永远的记号；因为六日之内耶和华造天地，第七日便安息舒畅。
9Exo. 31:17 It is a sign between Me and the children of Israel forever; for in six days Jehovah made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day He rested and was refreshed.
10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。
101 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, but, on the contrary, I labored more abundantly than all of them, yet not I but the grace of God which is with me.
11神是因着人而得着舒畅。……祂按着自己的形像造人有灵，使人能与祂有交通。因此，人是神的舒畅。……神说，“那人独居不好，我要为他造一个帮助者作他的配偶。”〔创二18〕这话有预表上的意义，指明神独居不好。神创造人以前，好比是个单身汉。……但在将来的永远里，祂要得着一个妻子，就是新耶路撒冷，称为羔羊的妻（启二一9~10）。
11God was refreshed with man…He created him in His own image with a spirit so that man could have fellowship with Him. Man, therefore, was God’s refreshment. God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper as his counterpart” [Gen. 2:18]. This word has a significance in typology, and indicates that it was not good for God to be alone. Before God created man, God could be compared to a “bachelor”…But in eternity future He will have a wife, the New Jerusalem, which is called the Lamb’s wife (Rev. 21:9-10).
12神看见祂所创造的人，便安息舒畅了。人就像一种令人舒畅的饮料，解除神的干渴，并使祂满足。神结束祂的工作，开始歇息时，就有人作祂的同伴。对神而言，第七日是安息与舒畅的日子。然而，对神的同伴—人—而言，安息与舒畅的日子是第一日，……享受的日子（出埃及记生命读经，二○九二至二○九三页）。
12When God saw the man created by Him, He could rest and be refreshed. Man was like a refreshing drink to quench God’s thirst and satisfy Him. When God ended His work and began to rest, He had man as His companion. To God, the seventh day was a day of rest and refreshment. However, to man, God’s companion, the day of rest and refreshment was the first day, …a day of enjoyment. (Life-study of Exodus, p. 1824)

13在我们得着享受以前，神不会要求我们作工，这乃是一个神圣的原则。神首先以享受来供应我们，……我们若不知道如何与神一同有享受，以及如何享受神自己，就不会知道如何与祂同工。我们不会知道如何在神圣的工作上与神是一。
13It is a divine principle that God does not ask us to work until we have had enjoyment. God first supplies us with enjoyment…If we do not know how to have enjoyment with God and how to enjoy God Himself, we shall not know how to work with Him. We shall not know how to be one with God in His divine work.
14不错，我们应当与神同工，甚至凭神作工。但照着圣经所启示的，仅仅与神同工还不够，我们必须在神的工作上与祂是一。这需要我们享受祂。我们若不知道如何享受神并被神充满，就不会知道如何与祂同工，如何在祂的工作上与祂是一。
14Yes, we should work with God and even by God. But according to what the Bible reveals, it is not even sufficient merely to work with God. We need to be one with God in His work. This requires that we enjoy Him. If we do not know how to enjoy God and be filled with God, we shall not know how to work with Him, how to be one with Him in His work.
15在新约里有一个很好的例子，说明了这个原则。使徒们的新约职事是开始于他们在五旬节那天的享受。门徒们不是工作了六天，然后在五旬节那天才享受主。真实的光景乃是主吩咐他们要等候，直到那灵降临在他们身上，以充满他们。……因为他们被那灵充满了，别人就以为他们喝醉了酒。事实上，他们是充满了对属天之酒的享受。他们被这种享受充满了以后，才开始与神同工。这就是与神同工、与祂是一而作工的路。彼得同着使徒们站起来传福音，借此为神作工时，乃是在神的工作上与祂是一。
15A very good illustration of this principle is found in the New Testament. The New Testament ministry of the apostles began with the enjoyment they had on the day of Pentecost. The disciples did not work for six days and then enjoy the Lord on the day of Pentecost. The actual situation was that the Lord had told them to wait until the Spirit came upon them to fill them…Because they were filled with the Spirit, others thought that they were drunk with wine. Actually they were filled with the enjoyment of the heavenly wine. Only after they had been filled with this enjoyment did they begin to work with God. This is the way to work with God, the way to work in oneness with Him. When Peter stood up with the apostles to preach the gospel and thereby do a work for God, they all were one with God in His work.
16对人而言，安息日始终是第一日。按照旧约的安息日，人的安息日是他的第一日。同样的，按照新约，第八日，就是人安息的日子，也是第一日。按照旧约的原则，人的安息日是在神的工作完成以后。人不是在自己的工作完成后安息的，乃是在神的工作完成以后，就安息了，并且享受神完成的工作。神作工，而人享受；人享受神在祂的工作上所已经成就的。
16To man, the day of rest has always been the first day. According to the Old Testament Sabbath, the day of man’s rest was his first day. Likewise, according to the New Testament, the eighth day, the day of rest for man, was also the first day. According to the principle in the Old Testament, man’s day of rest is a day that comes after God’s work has been completed. Man does not rest after his own work is finished; he rests after the completion of God’s work and enjoys it. God works, and man enjoys. Man enjoys what God has accomplished in His work.
17也许亚当在第一天与神一同享受安息之后，另外六天就作工照顾园子。到了第八日，就是另一个第一日，他又与神一同安息。这是一个周而复始的循环，其间有安息与作工。对神而言，是作工而安息；对人而言，是安息而作工（出埃及记生命读经，二○九三至二○九五页）。
17Perhaps after enjoying rest with God on his first day, Adam worked to care for the garden for another six days. Then on what was his eighth day, another first day, he again rested with God. This is a cycle that would continue again and again with intervals of resting and working. With God it is a matter of working and resting; with man, a matter of resting and working. (Life-study of Exodus, pp. 1824-1826)

今日要点
19主题：要经历基督作安息，需要留意一个重要的顺序
19
20引经：出三一17，林前十五10
20
211.安息日的启示在帐幕建造的嘱咐之后：
21
22A.要经历基督作我们安息日的安息，除了马太十一章到主这里来得安息之外，我们还需要留意一个属灵的顺序，在出三一12~17启示，安息日的启示，乃是在帐幕建造的嘱咐之后，在16节神说，你要守这安息日为永远的约，17节接着说，这是我与以色列人之间永远的记号，因为六日之内耶和华造天地，第七日便安息舒畅。
22
23B.可以说，神之所以能安息舒畅，乃是因着第六天造了人，人就是神的安息舒畅，因为人是按着神的形像造的，有灵，使人能够与祂有交通，并作祂的同伴和配偶，神看见祂所造的人，便安息舒畅了，人似乎成了神的饮料，解除神的干渴，并使祂满足。
23
242.人就是神的安息舒畅：
24
25A.对神，人是神的安息舒畅，对人而言，我们就需要认识，我们与神之间的关系，不是告诉神说，凡你所说的我们必遵行，神不会要求我们凭自己天然的力量作工，这是一个神圣的原则，神首先以享受来供应我们，我们若不知道如何与神一同有享受，以及如何享受神自己，就不知道如何与神同工。
25
26B.对神而言，神是先作工而安息，对人而言，人乃是先安息，而作工，然后我们乃是借着享受与主是一，而能与神同工，这该成为神子民的一个记号，指明我们需要祂作我们的力量、能力和一切，使我们能为着建造帐幕所豫表之基督的身体，这就是尊崇并荣耀祂。
26
27应用：我们在为主作工之前，需要像使徒们一样，先被那灵所充满并充溢，满了对属天之酒的享受，这样才能真正有分于主的工作。
