第七周 周三
纲目
1叁 我们需要看见主的升天主观的一面—参诗九一1歌四7~8六10
1
2一 基督在祂超越一切的升天里超越阴间(拘留死人的地方)、地(堕落之人行动反对神的地方)、空中(撒但和他黑暗权势行事抵挡神的地方)、和诸天(撒但能去的地方)—弗一20~21四8~10来七26伯一6~12上二1~6
2
3二 基督在祂的升天里经过了诸天,(来四14,)所以现今不仅在天上,(九24,)更是高过诸天,(七26,)远超诸天之上。(弗四10。)
3
4三 以弗所一章十九至二十三节启示从升天的基督向着我们有一种传输;二十二节说,神使基督『向着召会作万有的头』;『向着召会』这辞指明从升天的基督向着召会,祂的身体,有一种传输:
4
51 神赐给升天的基督一个大恩赐一作万有的头;神使基督作头,乃是向着召会,传输给召会;召会一同分享这件事。
5
62 二十至二十二节给我们看见,神使祂的能力在基督身上运行,有四个步骤:第一,使基督从死人中复活;第二,叫祂在诸天界里,坐在自己的右边;第三,将万有服在祂的脚下;第四,使祂向着召会作万有的头。
6
7四 基督在祂的升天里作了祂身体召会的头,在祂的丰满里彰显神—西一18弗一23三19
7
81 头与身体乃是一,形成一个宇宙人;对于这神圣的事,没有空间的因素,也没有时间的因素;身体与头在神圣的生命和神圣的灵里乃是一。
8
92 按照神圣的观点,我们与升天的基督乃是一,祂的升天也就是我们的升天;(二6;)在这升天里,我们在祂的丰满里彰显祂;因着超越的基督乃是三一神的具体化身,(西二9,)所以祂超越的输供包括了三一神的一切丰富分赐,使我们成为基督的丰满,使祂得彰显。(弗一22~23三198。)

10弗一22~23 将万有服在祂的脚下,并使祂向着召会作万有的头;召会是祂的身体,是那在万有中充满万有者的丰满。
10Eph. 1:22-23 And He subjected all things under His feet and gave Him to be Head over all things to the church, which is His Body, the fullness of the One who fills all in all.
11基督在祂的升天里,得了荣耀尊贵为冠冕,并且为着神的行政登了宝座。这意思就是说,祂与神同登宝座,成为宇宙中独一的执政管理者。基督借着祂的升天也就职为主,要得着万有,且就职为基督,要完成神的使命。既然这一切事都是客观的,我们怎能证明基督的升天与我们有主观的关系?证据是从升天的基督向着我们有一种传输这事实。……〔在以弗所一章二十二节,〕“向着召会”这辞指明从升天的基督向着召会,祂的身体,有一种的传输。
11In His ascension Christ was crowned with glory and honor and enthroned for God’s administration. This means that He shares God’s throne to be the unique Administrator in the universe. Through His ascension Christ was also inaugurated to be the Lord to possess all and to be the Christ to carry out God’s commission. Since all these matters are objective, how can we prove that Christ’s ascension is related to us in a subjective way? Proof is in the fact that there is a transmission from the ascended Christ to us…[In Ephesians 1:22] the phrase to the church indicates a transmission from the ascended Christ to the church, His Body.
12神使基督向着召会作为万有的头。这意思不是神将基督当作恩赐赐给召会,乃是神将一个恩赐—万有的元首权柄,赐给基督(路加福音生命读经,七五八至七五九页)。
12God gave Christ to be something to the church. It does not mean that God gave Christ to the church as a gift; it means that God gave Christ a gift—the headship over all things. (Life-study of Luke, second edition, pp. 645-646)

13神使基督所作的乃是向着召会,传输给召会。召会一同分享这事。这符合以弗所一章十九节的话:“祂的能力向着我们。”“向着我们”这辞是一把钥匙,因为这也指明一种传输。
13What God gave Christ to be is to the church; it is transmitted to the church. The church shares it. This corresponds to the word His power toward us in Ephesians 1:19. The phrase toward us is a key, for it also indicates a transmission.
14人定罪基督,置祂于死。然而神来使祂复活,叫祂坐在诸天里,将万有服在祂脚下,并使祂作万有的头。
14Man condemned Christ and sentenced Him to death. But God came in to raise Him up, to seat Him in the heavens, to subject all things under His feet, and to give Him to be the Head over all things.
15以弗所一章二十二节后半最好的翻译是:“使祂向着召会作万有的头。”如果保罗写以弗所一章的结论只说,神使基督作万有的头,基督的升天就与召会毫不相干。然而,保罗加上“向着召会”这重要的辞。……凡元首基督所达到、所得着的,都传输给召会—祂的身体。
15The best translation of the second part of Ephesians 1:22 is: “gave Him to be Head over all things to the church.” If Paul had concluded Ephesians 1 by saying that God gave Christ to be Head over all things, Christ’s ascension would not have anything to do with the church. Paul, however, added the important phrase to the church…Whatever Christ, the Head, has attained and obtained is transmitted to the church, His Body.
16召会应当不断地接受这传输。电线装设在建筑物里可能一劳永逸,但电的传输却要一直不断地进行。照样,神使基督复活、叫祂坐在诸天里,将万有放在祂脚下,又赐给祂一大恩赐—使祂作万有的头。现今基督在祂升天里的这一切所是,正传输到召会里面。这就是升天的基督带着祂升天的完满意义,不断地传输到召会里面。
16The church should continually receive this transmission. Electricity may be installed in a building once for all, but the transmission of electricity takes place continually. Likewise, God raised up Christ, seated Him in the heavens, put everything under His feet, and gave Him the great gift of being the Head over all things. Now whatever Christ is in His ascension is being transmitted into the church. This is the continual transmission into the church of the ascended Christ with the full significance of His ascension.
17如果电从发电厂到建筑物的传输有问题,这问题通常不在发电厂,而在建筑物,就是接收的一方。照样,属天的发电厂绝不会有问题;然而,召会在接受神圣传输的事上时常有问题。我们经常有难处,阻挠神圣的电传输到我们里面。今天这传输无法传到许多基督徒身上。事实上,很少基督徒愿意完全敞开,不断地接受这传输。
17If there is a problem with the transmission of electricity from the power plant into a building, the problem is usually not with the power plant. The problem is with the building, that is, with the receiver. In like manner, there is never a problem with the heavenly power plant; however, often with the church there is a problem concerning the receiving of the divine transmission. Often we may have problems that frustrate the transmission of the divine electricity into us. This transmission is not able to get through to many of today’s Christians. Actually, not many Christians are willing to be fully open to receive this transmission continually.
18借着升天基督向着召会的神圣传输,人救主的升天就确定的与我们有关联。我们在祂的升天里联于祂,这是不容置疑的。为这缘故,二章六节告诉我们,我们在基督耶稣里一同坐在诸天界里。多年来我不懂六节的话,我们怎能坐在诸天里。我发现电是绝佳的例证,帮助我们领会这事。在我们家里运作的电也在发电厂里。这意思是电在发电厂,同时也在我们家里。照样,借着神圣的传输,我们就联于诸天里的基督。……这是奇妙的事实。在属天发电厂里的能力也在我们里面(路加福音生命读经,七六○、七六三至七六五页)。
18Through the divine transmission from the ascended Christ to the church, the Man-Savior’s ascension is definitely related to us. There can be no doubt that we are connected to Him in His ascension. For this reason Ephesians 2:6 tells us that we are seated together in the heavenlies in Christ Jesus. For years I could not understand how, in the words of Ephesians 2:6, we can be seated in the heavens. I have found electricity an excellent illustration in helping us to understand this. The electricity that operates in our homes is also in the power plant. This means that at the same time electricity is both in the power plant and in our homes. Likewise, through the divine transmission we are joined to Christ in the heavens. This is…a marvelous fact. The power that is in the heavenly power plant is also in us. (Life-study of Luke, second edition, pp. 646, 649-650)

今日要点
20主题:经历基督在升天里的传输,使召会成为祂的丰满
20
21引经:弗一22~23
21
221.看见主在祂的升天里主观的一面:
22
23a.基督在祂超越一切的升天里,超越阴间(拘留死人的地方)、死(堕落之人行动反对神的地方)、空中(撒但和他黑暗权势行事抵挡神的地方)和诸天(撒但能去的地方),如今祂不仅在天上,更是高过诸天,远超诸天之上。
23
24b.我们不仅需要认识基督在祂升天里客观的一面,也要看见主的升天主观的一面,也就是我们直接可经历的一面,在弗一19~23启示,从这位升天的基督,向着我们有一种传输,19节说,祂向着我们这信的人,照祂力量的运行,是何等超越浩大。
24
252.升天的基督向着召会传输祂自己:
25
26a.在19节,各中英文译本都翻作“向我们”,而按着经文的脉络,也就是按着上下文,22节和合本应当与其他中英文译本一致翻作“向着召会(to the church)”,会比译作“为教会”更好,因为这里有从升天基督向着召会,就是祂的身体的传输。
26
27b.神使基督作头,并非跟作身体的召会无关,头乃是向着身体,传输给身体,好与身体一同分享,神使祂的能力在基督身上运行的四个步骤:一,使基督从死人中复活,二,在诸天界里坐在神的右边,三,将万有服在祂的脚下,四,向着召会作万有的头,好使召会成为祂的身体,成为那在万有中,充满万有者的丰满。
27
28应用:我们天天需要向主完全敞开,运用我们的灵,打开开关,呼求“哦,主耶稣”,而联于诸天里的基督,不断接受这传输,借着神圣的传输,使属天发电厂里的能力,成为我们主观的经历。
