纲目

1贰在神原初心意的“蓝图”里，人是整个宇宙的中心，而人的中心乃是他的灵——亚十二1，创二7，箴二十27：

2一诸天是为着地，地是为着人，神给人造了灵，使人可以接触神，接受神，盛装神，敬拜神，活神，为神完成神的定旨，彰显神，并与神成为——约四24，林前六17。

3二神若不是灵，我们若没有灵来接触神，与神成为一，整个宇宙就是空洞的，我们也一无所是——传一2，三11，伯三二8，十二10，林后四13、16～18。

4三由于人的堕落，人不仅疏忽并忽略人的灵，甚至拒绝承认人有灵——帖前五23，来四12，参犹19。

5四人是器皿，原该借着操练他的灵，接受在基督里的神作为生命树，使生命如同河在人的最深处流进流出，使他得变化成为宝贵的材料，为着神的建造，就是神永远的彰显——创一26，二7～12、22，提前四7～8：

61 神的气成了我们人的灵，我们的灵乃是神的灯，以盛装神作油，并给我们亮光——创二7，箴二十27。

72 人的灵因着堕落，成了残破的灯，但借着神在祂救恩里的恢复，人的灵由那赐生命且七倍加强的灵所重生、重建并加强——创二7，箴二十27，约三6，启四5，林前十五45下。

8创二7 耶和华神用地上的尘土塑造人，将生命之气吹在他鼻孔里，人就成了活的魂。

8Gen. 2:7 Jehovah God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul.

9亚十二1 ……铺张诸天、建立地基、造人里面之灵的耶和华说。

9Zech. 12:1 …Thus declares Jehovah, who stretches forth the heavens and lays the foundations of the earth and forms the spirit of man within him.

10诸天是为着地，地是为着人，神给人造了灵，使人能接触神，接受神，敬拜神，活神，为神完成神的定旨，并与神成为一。在神的经纶里，神计划要使基督作祂在地上行动的中心与普及。为使祂所拣选的人能关心祂这位创造主并救赎主，祂需要为人创造一个接受的器官，使人能接受神计划里之基督一切的所是。因此，撒迦利亚书嘱咐我们要尽力注意我们人的灵，好使我们得着该书所启示的基督，并明白其中所启示一切关于祂的事（弗一17~18上，三5）（圣经恢复本，亚十二1注2）。

10The heavens are for the earth, the earth is for man, and man was created by God with a spirit that he may contact God, receive God, worship God, live God, fulfill God’s purpose for God, and be one with God. In His economy God planned to have Christ as the centrality and universality of His move on earth. For His chosen people, who would care for Him as the Creator and as the Redeemer, there was the need for Him to create a receiving organ so that they would have the capacity to receive all that God had planned for Christ to be. Hence, [the book of Zechariah] charges us to pay full attention to our human spirit, that we may receive the Christ revealed in this book and may understand all that is revealed therein concerning Him (Eph. 1:17-18a; 3:5). (Zech. 12:1, footnote 2)

Today's Reading

11神给人造了一个灵，而这灵是人里面特别的器官，其功用是接触神并盛装神。神造人成为活物，但人不同于一切其他的活物；唯独人有人的灵。

11Man was created by God with a spirit, and this spirit is a particular organ within man that functions to contact God and contain God. Man was created by God to be a living creature, but he is different from all the other living creatures. Only man has a human spirit.

12在神的创造里祂作了一件特别的事，以产生我们的灵（创二7）。神借着说话创造了宇宙。神说有，就有（诗三三9）。但是当神来创造人时，祂乃是将祂的生命之气吹到人里面。我们的气不是我们自己，但没有一样东西比我们的气更接近我们。照样，神的生命之气不是神自己，不是神圣的灵，也不是神圣的生命，但神的气非常接近神，接近神圣的灵，并接近神圣的生命。

12In God’s creation, He did something particular to produce our spirit (Gen. 2:7). God created the universe by speaking. God spoke, and it was (Psa. 33:9). But when God came to the creation of man, He breathed His breath of life into man…God’s breath of life is not God Himself, not the divine Spirit, and not the divine life, but it is very close to God, close to the divine Spirit, and close to the divine life.

13我们若没有灵，就会像野兽一样；我们会变得毫无意义。宇宙中若没有神，整个宇宙也就是空洞的。所以要领略我们的意义和宇宙的意义，其关键乃在于神的存在，也在于我们有灵。神是灵；我们必须在我们的灵里接触祂，敬拜祂（约四24）。这二灵应当彼此接触，也应当成为一（林前六17）。这样，整个宇宙才有意义，然后我们的生命才有意义。……由此我们能看见我们灵的重要性。

13If we did not have a spirit, we would be like the beasts. We would become meaningless. Also, if there were no God in the universe, the whole universe would become empty. So the key to our meaning and the meaning of the universe is in God’s existence and also in our having a spirit. God is Spirit, and we must contact Him, worship Him, in our spirit (John 4:24). These two spirits should contact each other and should become one (1 Cor. 6:17). Then the whole universe becomes meaningful. Then our life has meaning…By this we can see the importance of our spirit.

14很可惜的是，由于人的堕落，人不仅疏忽并忽略人的灵，甚至拒绝承认人有灵。……大多数人顾到法律，不顾他们的良心。今天的社会非常需要法律，因为多数人忽略他们灵的一部分，就是他们的良心。良心的功用是在我们作错事的时候，审判我们，定罪我们。……一些只受法律管治的人，想要找法律的漏洞，好作不义不正的事。但那些凭良心而活的人，活得更高尚。我们里面的良心比外面的法律控制我们更严。

14Regretfully, due to the fall, men have not only overlooked and neglected the human spirit but also have even refused to admit that man has a spirit…Most people take care of the law, not their conscience. Today’s society needs the law so much because most people neglect one part of their spirit—their conscience. The conscience functions to judge us and condemn us when we do something wrong…Some who are governed merely by the law like to find loopholes in the law so that they can carry out things that are unrighteous and unjust. Those who live by the conscience, however, live in a higher way. Our inward conscience controls us much more than the outward law does.

15身为基督徒，我们的灵已经得了重生。得重生就是得加强，一个更刚强、更丰富的东西加到我们里面。这就是加到我们灵里的神的生命。……当我们信主耶稣的时候，神首先赐给我们神圣的生命。其次，神赐给我们圣灵。祂也赐给我们许多属天的事物，就如祂的赦免、公义、平安和喜乐。神已经赐给我们称义、和好以及祂全备的救恩。这一切都是在神的生命和神的灵之外，另赐给我们的。事实上，这一切属天的事物都包括在神的生命和神的灵里，二者已经加到我们灵里了。我们有一个得重生并得加强的灵，这灵是刚强的灵，有一个同伴。这个同伴就是三一神。三一神成了我们灵里的同伴。我们所有的是何等丰富的灵！（李常受文集一九九三年第二册，二三九至二四○页）。

15As Christians, our spirit has been regenerated. To be regenerated is to be reinforced…God’s life…has been added into our spirit…When we believe in the Lord Jesus, God first gives us the divine life. Second, God gives us the Holy Spirit. Also, He gives us many heavenly things, such as His forgiveness, righteousness, peace, and joy. God has given us justification, reconciliation, and His full salvation. All these were given in addition to God’s life and God’s Spirit. Actually, all these heavenly things are included in God’s life and God’s Spirit, which have been added into our spirit. We have a regenerated and reinforced spirit, a very strong spirit, with a companion. This companion is the Triune God. The Triune God becomes our companion in our spirit. What an enriched spirit we have! (CWWL, 1993, vol. 2, “The Spirit with Our Spirit,” pp. 180-181)

16週二主題：看見人的靈之異象，而活在神永遠經綸的實際裡經文：創二7，亞十二1 要點： 1.看見人的靈與神經綸的關係： A.在神的經綸裡，神計畫要使基督作祂在地上行動的中心與普及，為此神需要為人創造一個接受的器官，使人能接受神計畫裡之基督一切的所是，使神能完成祂的經綸，在創世記我們看見，神藉著說話造了宇宙，但當神在創二7造人時，祂乃是將生命之氣吹到人裡面，這氣的原文，奈夏瑪，亦可翻譯為靈，指明吹進人身體裡的生命之氣，成了人的靈，人的靈乃是出於生命之氣，所以和神的靈非常相近。 B.因此，在神原初心意的藍圖裡，人是整個宇宙的中心，而人的中心乃是他的靈，在亞十二1說到，鋪張諸天，建立地基，造人裡面之靈的耶和華，這指明，神在祂的創造裡，創造了三樣極其關鍵、同等重要的東西，諸天，地和人的靈，諸天是為著地，地是為著人，神給人造了靈，使人可以接觸神、接受神、盛裝神、敬拜神、活神、為神完成神的定旨，彰顯神，並與神成為一。 2.人的墮落與神的恢復： A.神若不是靈，我們若沒有靈來接觸神，與神成為一，整個宇宙就是空洞的，任一方沒有都不行，也可以說，沒有靈，就等於零（zero），有靈（Spirit）一切都會靈，人作為器皿，本來就該藉著操練人的靈，接受在基督裡的神作生命樹，使生命如同河在人的最深處流進流出，使人得變化成為寶貴的材料，為著神的建造。 B.但由於人的墮落，人不僅疏忽並忽略人的靈，甚至拒絕承認人有靈，人的靈因著墮落，就成了殘破的燈，但藉著神在祂救恩裡的恢復，使人的靈由那賜生命且七倍加強的靈所重生，所重建，並得著加強，事實上，一切屬天的事物都包括在神的生命和神的靈裡，二者已經加到我們靈裡。應用：每天早晨藉著呼求主名、禱讀主話，建立操練運用靈的習慣，而使我們過的有意義，甚至藉著活在靈裡，向人傳福音，點活人的靈，將人從毫無意義的人生中蒙拯救。
