14西一12 感谢父，叫你们够资格在光中同得所分给众圣徒的分。
14Col. 1:12 Giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you for a share of the allotted portion of the saints in the light.
15彼前二9 ……宣扬那召你们出黑暗、入祂奇妙之光者的美德。
151 Pet. 2:9 …Tell out the virtues of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.
16〔所分得的分〕指业分，如以色列人分得迦南美地之分，作他们的产业（书十四1）。新约信徒的基业，我们所分得的分，不是物质的土地，乃是包罗万有的基督。祂是众圣徒所分得的分，作了我们神圣的基业，给我们享受（圣经恢复本，西一12注3）。
16The allotted portion refers to the lot of the inheritance, as illustrated by the allotment of the good land of Canaan given to the children of Israel for their inheritance (Josh. 14:1). The New Testament believers’ inheritance, their allotted portion, is not a physical land; it is the all-inclusive Christ. He is the allotted portion of the saints as their divine inheritance for their enjoyment. (Col. 1:12, footnote 2)
17申命记八章七至九节中美地的丰富，预表基督那追测不尽之丰富的不同方面（弗三8），在祂的灵里作祂信徒全备的供应（腓一19）。
17The riches of the good land in Deuteronomy 8:7-9 typify the unsearchable riches of Christ in different aspects (Eph. 3:8) as the bountiful supply to His believers in His Spirit (Phil. 1:19).
18神经纶的目标不仅仅是救赎祂的子民，拯救他们脱离埃及所预表的世界，更是要带他们进入美地所预表的基督，使他们可以据有祂，并享受祂那追测不尽的丰富。以色列人借着享受那地的丰富，就能建造圣殿作神在地上的居所，并建造耶路撒冷城，将神的国建立在地上。照样，在基督里的信徒借着享受基督那追测不尽的丰富，被建造为基督的身体，召会，就是基督的丰满，祂的彰显（弗一22~23），也是神的居所（弗二21~22，提前三15）与神的国（太十六18~19，罗十四17）（申八7注1）。
18God’s goal in His economy is not merely to redeem His people and save them from the world, typified by Egypt, but to bring them into Christ, typified by the good land, that they may possess Him and enjoy His unsearchable riches. By enjoying the riches of the land, the children of Israel were able to build up the temple to be God’s habitation on earth and the city of Jerusalem to establish God’s kingdom on earth. Likewise, by enjoying the unsearchable riches of Christ, the believers in Christ are built up to be Christ’s Body, the church, which is Christ’s fullness, His expression (Eph. 1:22-23), and which is also the habitation of God (Eph. 2:21-22; 1 Tim. 3:15) and the kingdom of God (Matt. 16:18-19; Rom. 14:17). (Deut. 8:7, footnote 1)

Today’s Reading
19我们的分—基督，乃是我们在光中所享受的。……圣经启示，光与神、神的话、基督、基督的生命、信徒并召会有关。……唯有〔神〕是光的源头〔约壹一5〕。神的话、基督、基督的生命、信徒和召会都能够是光，因为有神作其源头。
19Christ, our portion, is to be enjoyed by us in the light. The Bible reveals that the light is related to God, the Word of God, Christ, the life of Christ, the believers, and the church. God alone is the source of light [cf. 1 John 1:5]. The Word of God, Christ, the life of Christ, the believers, and the church can all be light because they have God as their source.
20诗篇一百一十九篇一百零五节说，神的话是我们脚前的灯，是我们路上的光；一百三十节说，神的言语一解开，就发出亮光。神的话是光，因为神的话包含了神。……圣经的源头是神，而神就是光。所以，圣经的话乃是光的照耀。
20Psalm 119:105 says that the Word of God is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path, and 119:130 says that the opening of God’s words gives light. The Word of God is light because it contains God…The source of the Bible is God, and God is light. Therefore, the words of the Bible are the shining of light.
21神与基督原为一。神既是光，基督也就是光。基督以非常明确的方式作世界的光。约翰九章五节的世界，乃是指社会、人类。因此，基督不是以笼统的方式，乃是以明确的方式，作社会、作人类的光。……基督的生命也是光〔一4〕。……我们接受基督作生命的时候，这生命就成了我们里面的光，照耀我们，并且从里面光照我们。
21God and Christ are one. Since God is light, Christ also is light. Christ is the light of the world in a very definite way. The world in John 9:5 denotes society, mankind. Thus, Christ is the light not just in a general way but in a definite way as the light of society, of mankind. The life of Christ is also light (John 1:4)…When we receive Christ as life, this life becomes light in us, shining upon us and enlightening us from within.
22凡相信基督的人也是光。……（太五14）。在腓立比二章十五节，保罗说，信徒“好像发光之体显在世界里”。发光之体，原文指返照太阳光的光体。光体本身没有光，却返照从别的光源而来的光。……我们在自己里面没有光。……我们的光源不是我们自己，乃是作为那灵的基督。
22Those who believe in Christ are also the light…(Matt. 5:14). In Philippians 2:15 Paul says that the believers “shine as luminaries in the world.” A luminary does not have light in itself; it reflects light that comes from another source…In ourselves we have no light…The source of our light is not ourselves but Christ as the Spirit.
23在启示录一章二十节，我们看见召会是灯台，托住并支持焚烧的灯。这灯就是基督，有神在祂里面作光（二一23）。在宇宙中只有一种光，就是神自己。三一神乃是独一的光。
23In Revelation 1:20 we see that the church is a lampstand, a stand that holds and supports a burning lamp. The lamp is Christ with God in Him as light (21:23). In the universe there is one light, God Himself. The Triune God is the unique light.
24我们得救的时候，感觉到基督的甜美。我们里面的深处晓得，基督真是可享受的。然后……我们许多人受到打岔，离开了对基督的享受。我们从里面对基督甜美的感觉，转向宗教的义务。这再次把我们带进黑暗里，内里的照耀就停止了。……但有一天，我们因着绝望，撇下我们宗教的义务而转向主，并且向祂呼喊。……因着转向主，我们再一次从黑暗转入光中。然后在光中，我们又开始享受基督作众圣徒的分（歌罗西书生命读经，六四、六六至七○页）。
24When we were saved, we had a sense of the sweetness of Christ. Deep within, we realized how enjoyable Christ is. Then…many of us were distracted and led away from the enjoyment of Christ. We turned from the inner sense of the sweetness of Christ to religious duty. This brought us into darkness again, and the inward shining ceased…One day, out of desperation, we laid aside our religious duty, turned to the Lord, and cried out to Him… By turning to the Lord, we turned once more from darkness to light. Then, in the light, we again began to enjoy Christ as the allotted portion of the saints. (Life-study of Colossians, second edition, pp. 55-59)

今日要点
26主题：在美地所豫表之包罗万有的基督里面，我们一无所缺
26
27引经：西一12，彼前二9，补申八9
27
281.信徒分得基督作赐生命的灵为业分：
28
29a. 在申命记八章九节说到，『你们在那地不缺食物，你必一无所缺。』这指出，今天我们要经历并享受包罗万有的基督作美地，使我们在那地一无所缺；保罗乃是带着这个思想写歌罗西书的。
29
30b. 基督作居首位和包罗万有者，乃是众圣徒在光中所分得的分，给我们经历并享受，在西一12“所分得的分”指业分，如以色列人分得迦南美地之分，作他们的产业，而今天新约信徒所分得的分，不是物质的土地，乃是包罗万有的基督作为赐生命的灵。
30
312.经历基督作美地，秘诀乃是“在光中”：
31
32a.根据西一12，我们的分—基督，乃是我们在光中所享受的，这样的说法也与彼前二9相符，那里说到信徒要“入奇妙之光者”，神既然是光，基督也就是光，基督作世界的光，我们接受基督作生命的时候，这生命就成为我们里面的光，使我们成为发光之体。
32
33b.神经纶的目标不仅仅是救赎祂的子民，拯救他们脱离埃及所豫表的世界，更是要带他们进入美地所豫表的基督，使他们可以据有祂，并享受祂那追测不尽的丰富，这样就能在其上建造圣殿作为神的家，使祂得彰显，并能建造圣城作为神的国，带进祂的管治权。
33
34应用：我们的光景乃是，在得救时的感到甜美，因许多打岔离开对基督的享受，转向宗教的义务，而被带回到黑暗里，为此我们需要撇下宗教的义务，向着自己绝望，并转向主，并且向主呼喊，而再次从黑暗转入光中，而在光中经历基督作美地。
