纲目
1叁 歌罗西二章八至十五节对基督是土壤有完满的描述和说明,在这土壤中我们一无所缺;当我们花时间吸取祂这包罗万有的地时,这几节经文里的事实就成为我们的经历;事实是在基督里,经历是凭着基督并同着基督:
1
2一 基督这土壤,乃是神格一切的丰满都有形有体的居住在祂里面的那—位一9节:
2

42 当我们生根在基督这土壤里,我们就在祂里面得了丰满;我们被一切神圣的丰富所充满,成为祂的彰显—弗三819

13西二9~10 因为神格一切的丰满,都有形有体地居住在基督里面,你们在祂里面也得了丰满。祂是一切执政掌权者的元首。
13Col. 2:9-10 For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily, and you have been made full in Him, who is the Head of all rule and authority.
14歌罗西二章七节里“已经生根”这话含示土壤的意思。八至十五节详尽的描述基督乃是我们在其中生根的土壤。我们既然在土壤里生根,就借着从土壤里所吸收的元素长大。我们知道,作为土壤的基督乃是在我们的灵里。……这块特殊土壤的头一方面是在九节。……神格一切的丰满,都有形有体地居住在祂里面,我们在这一位里面已经生根。
14The expression having been rooted in Colossians 2:7 implies that there is soil. Verses 8 through 15 are a full description of Christ as the soil in which we have been rooted. Having been rooted in the soil, we grow with the elements that we absorb from the soil. We know that Christ as the soil is in our spirit. The first aspect of this very special soil is found in verse 9…We have been rooted in the One in whom all the fullness of the Godhead dwells bodily.
15我们在作土壤的基督里生根时,头一件发生的事就是,我们在祂里面得了丰满(10)。“得了丰满”……这个希腊字含示完备、完全、满足和完满的完成。在基督这土壤里,我们都被充满、得完备、被成全、得满足并彻底得着供应。……土壤的头一个元素乃是神格的丰满。当我们从土壤里将丰富的养分吸收进来,我们就享受这丰满。然后这丰满使我们得了丰满,使我们完备,使我们完全,使我们满足,为我们成就一切,并彻底供应我们每一样的需要(歌罗西书生命读经,五七四、五七六页)。
15When we are rooted in Christ as the soil, the first thing to take place is that we are made full in Him (v. 10)…The Greek word [for made full] implies completion, perfection, satisfaction, and full accomplishment. In Christ as the soil, we are filled, completed, perfected, satisfied, and thoroughly supplied…The first element of the soil is the fullness of the Godhead. As we absorb into our being the rich nourishment from the soil, we enjoy this fullness. Then this fullness makes us full, completes us, perfects us, satisfies us, accomplishes everything for us, and thoroughly supplies our every need. (Life-study of Colossians, second edition, pp. 453-455)

16哦,这丰满乃是包罗万有的,包括了公义、称义、圣别、成圣以及我们所需要的一切。我们既栽种在这丰满里,就该从其中吸取滋养。我们这样作,就会发现我们一无所缺。钉十字架和复活的经历都在这丰满里。……基督既是我们已经生根于其中的美地,我们在这丰满里就已经生根了;我们在其中已经得了丰满、完备并完全。
16Oh, this fullness is all-inclusive. It includes righteousness, justification, holiness, sanctification, and whatever we may need. Having been planted into this fullness, we should simply absorb nourishment from it. As we do so, we will find that we have no lack. The experiences of crucifixion and resurrection are in the fullness…Since Christ is the good land in which we have been rooted, we have been rooted in this fullness; in it we have been made full, complete, and perfect.
17我们在基督这美地里生根以前,……我们与肉体、规条和黑暗的权势有关联。但如今我们已在美地里生根,这丰满就成了我们的,我们也得着一切正面事物的供应。在这包罗万有且延展无限的丰满里,我们得着了一切。我们有神,有提高的人性,并且有神圣的属性和人性的美德。你需要生命么?生命就在这丰满里。你需要爱和忍耐么?爱和忍耐也包括在这丰满里。
17Before we were rooted in Christ as the good land, …we were involved with the flesh, the ordinances, and the power of darkness. But now that we have been rooted in the good land, the fullness has become ours, and we are supplied with every positive thing. In this all-inclusive and extensive fullness, we have everything. We have God, we have an uplifted humanity, and we have divine attributes and human virtues. Do you need life? It is found in this fullness. Do you need love or patience? They also are included in the fullness.
18不仅如此,我们在基督里,也受了非人手所行的割礼;我们在受浸中与祂一同埋葬,也在受浸中与祂一同复活(西二11~12)。……那在规条上所写,攻击我们的字据,已经涂抹了,执政的和掌权的,也已经脱下了〔14~15〕。这些事在基督里都是真实的。
18Furthermore, in Christ we were circumcised with a circumcision not made with hands, we were buried with Him in baptism, and we were also raised together with Him (Col. 2:11-12)…The handwriting in ordinances, which was against us, has been wiped out, and the rulers and authorities have been stripped off [vv. 14-15]. All these things are true in Christ.
19以上所提的事,都是我们在其中生根之基督这丰富土壤的元素。这土壤的头一个元素就是神格的丰满,其他的元素包括割礼、埋葬、复活、规条的涂抹以及黑暗权势的脱下。
19All the matters mentioned above are elements of Christ as the rich soil in which we are rooted. The first element of this soil is the fullness of the Godhead. Other elements include circumcision, burial, being raised, the wiping out of the ordinances, and the stripping off of the powers of darkness.
20赞美主,在基督这土壤里有割礼的元素,将肉体治死!在基督这土壤里有杀死的能力。这杀死的元素可以比作盐,加在土壤里,就能将腐败消杀。我们在其中所生根的美地,其上的土壤乃是割礼的“盐”。这种元素不能使任何作物生长,但对于杀菌却很有果效。它割除肉体,并杀死肉体。
20Praise the Lord that in Christ as the soil we have the element of circumcision, which puts the flesh to death! In Christ as the soil, there is killing power. This killing element can be compared to salt, which when added to soil can kill corruption. In the soil of the good land in which we are rooted is the “salt” of circumcision. This element does not cause anything to grow, but it is effective in killing germs. It cuts the flesh and kills it.
21杀死以后,就需要埋葬。……不仅如此,还有另一种元素使我们复活。因此,在基督这土壤里的元素,首先埋葬我们,然后叫我们复活。在作土壤的基督里,我们被治死、埋葬、复活并得着生命。杀死和埋葬将反面的事物从我们身上带走,而复活将我们带离反面的事物。然后土壤里赐人生命的元素,就使我们活着。因此,在作土壤的基督里面,有杀死我们、埋葬我们、使我们复活并使我们活着的元素(歌罗西书生命读经,五七八、六一六至六一七、五七九至五八○页)。
21After the killing, we have burial…Furthermore, there is another element that raises us up. Thus, first, the elements in Christ as the soil bury us; then they raise us up. In Christ as the soil, we are put to death, buried, raised up, and given life. The killing and the burial take the negative things away from us, whereas being raised takes us away from the negative things. Then the element in the soil that gives life makes us living. Therefore, in Christ as the soil, there are elements that kill us, bury us, raise us up, and make us living. (Life-study of Colossians, second edition, pp. 456-457, 489, 457-458)

今日要点
23主题:在作美地的基督里面得了丰满
23
24引经:西二9~10
24
251.“在那地一无所缺”等于“在祂里面得了丰满”:
25
26a.在申八9,“在那地你们一无所缺”,这等同于西二9“你们在祂里面也得了丰满”,可以说,保罗写西二7“在祂里面已经生根”之后,二8~9的话,乃是对基督是土壤有完满的描述和说明,在这土壤中我们一无所缺。
26
27b. 作土壤的基督,第一,是“神格一切的丰满,都有形有体的居住在祂里面”的一位(二9),第二,是一切执政掌权者的元首(二10),第三,有杀死的能力(二11),第四,有使我们被埋葬、复活的元素(二12),第五,有使我们活过来的元素(二13),第六,涂抹规条上所写的字据(二14),第七,胜过空中的邪灵(二15),我们在那地一无所缺。
27
282.享受丰富,成为丰满:
28
29a. 土壤里有作物生长所需要的一切,“得了丰满”这个希腊字,pleroo,浦利路,与徒二2圣灵如大风“充满”同字,这个字也出现在弗三19“使你们“被充满”,因此,得了丰满含示完备、完全、满足、和完满地完成,我们在这土壤里,就得着神格的丰满这土壤的元素。
29
30b.而在二9上,居住在基督里面的,乃是神格一切的丰满,这个名词源自二10得了丰满这个动词,然而,和合本将二10翻译为得了丰满,却仅在这里将其译为丰盛,我们需要看见,那在基督里面所得神格一切的丰满,要借着我们生根在祂这土壤里,而成为我们的。
30
31应用:当我们花时间吸取祂这包罗万有的地时,这几节经文的事实就成为我们的经历,事实是在基督里,而经历是凭着基督并同着基督。
