7提后二 1~2 所以,我的孩子,你要在基督耶稣里的恩典上得着加力,你在许多见证人面前从我所听见的,要托付那忠信、能教导别人的人。
72 Tim. 2:1-2 You therefore, my child, be empowered in the grace which is in Christ Jesus; and the things which you have heard from me through many witnesses, these commit to faithful men, who will be competent to teach others also.
8提摩太后书的主题是对召会败落的预防剂。……〔在二章一至十五节里有〕给预防者的五个特别称呼。……我们若仔细读这些经文,就会看见,保罗认为提摩太和他其他的同工该是教师、精兵、竞赛者、农夫和工人。……基于保罗〔在一章〕……所写给提摩太的,他现今接着鼓励提摩太要在基督耶稣里的恩典上得着加力。保罗在这里不是嘱咐提摩太要在知识或恩赐上得着加力,乃是嘱咐他要在恩典上得着加力。……这恩典是神在生命中的供备,使我们活出祂的定旨。保罗即使在监狱中也不沮丧,反而在恩典上得着加力(提摩太后书生命读经,二五至二六页)。
8The subject of 2 Timothy is inoculation against the decline of the church… [There are] five specific titles given to the inoculator in 2:1-15…If we read these verses carefully, we will see that Paul regarded Timothy and his other coworkers as those who should be teachers, soldiers, contenders, farmers, and workmen…Based upon what he has just written to Timothy [in chapter 1], Paul now goes on to encourage him to be empowered in the grace which is in Christ Jesus [2:1]. Paul did not charge Timothy here to be empowered in knowledge or in gifts. He charged him to be empowered in grace…This grace is God’s provision in life given to us that we may live out His purpose. Instead of being discouraged, Paul was empowered in grace, even though he was in prison. (Life-study of 2 Timothy, 2nd ed., p. 21)

9〔保罗〕体认恩典一点不差就是经过过程的三一神—父具体化身在子里,子实化为内住的灵。林后十三章十四节指明,恩典就是三一神自己:“愿主耶稣基督的恩,神的爱,圣灵的交通,与你们众人同在。”恩典不是一样东西,乃是独一的人位,三一神活的、神圣的人位,经过过程成为包罗万有、赐生命、内住的灵。这灵现今住在我们里面作我们的恩典。
9[Paul] realized that grace is nothing less than the processed Triune God— the Father embodied in the Son and the Son realized as the indwelling Spirit. Second Corinthians 13:14 indicates that grace is the very Triune God Himself: “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.” Grace is not a thing; it is a unique person, the living, divine person of the Triune God processed to be the all-inclusive, life-giving, indwelling Spirit. This Spirit now dwells in us as our grace.
10我们越在这恩典上得着加力,就越能教导别人。……保罗在〔提后二章二节〕里所指的是一章十三节的健康话语。健康话语托付忠信的人以后,就成了那美好的托付(14)。这话指明,在地方召会中,人若有主所托付健康的话,他就该训练那些忠信的人,可信托的人,使他们也从主得着美好的托付,能以教导别人。
10The more we are empowered in this grace, the more able we will be to teach others…The things to which Paul refers [in 2 Timothy 2:2] are the healthy words in 1:13. The healthy words, after being committed to faithful men, become the good deposit in them (v. 14). This word indicates that if someone in a local church has a deposit of the Lord’s healthy words, he should train the faithful ones, the trustworthy ones, that they too may have a good deposit from the Lord and be competent to teach others.
11保罗知道提摩太领受了美好的托付,他受了教导,并得了恩典之丰富的喂养。所以,他嘱咐提摩太将这些事交托其他忠信能施行同样职事的人。这指明施行神新约经纶的丰富,不只需要一个人。我盼望借着这一切生命读经的信息,在主恢复里成千的圣徒,会得着关于神新约经纶之恩典丰富的美好托付。然后,领受了这些丰富的人,能将这些事托付别人。想想看,主若得着一万个被祂美好的托付充满的圣徒,将祂经纶的丰富扩展到全地,那是何等的光景。毫无疑问,这会催促祂荣耀显现的时候来到。
11Paul realized that Timothy had received a good deposit, that he had been taught and nourished with the riches of grace. Therefore, he charged Timothy to commit these things to others who would be faithful and competent to carry on the same ministry. This indicates that more than one person is needed to carry on the riches of God’s New Testament economy. My hope is that through all these Life-study messages thousands of saints in the Lord’s recovery will receive a good deposit of the riches of grace concerning God’s New Testament economy. Then those who have received these riches will be able to commit these things to others. Imagine what the situation would be if the Lord had ten thousand saints filled with His good deposit, spreading the riches of His economy throughout the earth. No doubt, this would hasten the time of His glorious appearing.
12只有一位神,一位基督,一位灵,和一个召会。因为神是一,祂的路也必定是一。……神的路是在祂的恢复里。……许多圣徒能用清洁的良心从他们全人深处见证,他们若不走今天恢复的路,就没有别的路。主的恢复就是这路。……有些成了有异议并离开的人发现,他们无法回到公会里。在有些事例中,公会甚至不愿接纳他们。这表明我们若摸着这恢复然后离开,就是属灵的自杀,因为我们离弃了神唯一的路。
12There is one God, one Christ, one Spirit, and one church. Because God is one, His way must also be one…God’s way is in His recovery…Many saints can testify with a pure conscience from the depths of their being that if they do not take the way of the recovery today, they have no other way. The Lord’s recovery is the way…Some who became dissenting and left discovered that they had no way to go back to the denominations. In certain cases the denominations might not even be willing to accept them. This shows that if we touch the recovery and then leave it, we commit spiritual suicide, for we turn away from God’s unique way.
13在提后二章一至二节,保罗有负担嘱咐领受了这样美好托付的提摩太,要将恩典的丰富传递给别人。这样,就会有许多教师,许多基督的执事,扩展神新约经纶的丰富(提摩太后书生命读经,二六至二七页)。
13In 2:1 and 2 Paul was burdened to charge Timothy, one who had received such a good deposit, to pass on the riches of grace to others. Then there would be many teachers, many ministers of Christ, to spread the riches of God’s New Testament economy. (Life-study of 2 Timothy, 2nd ed., pp. 21-23)

今日要点
15主题:在基督耶稣的恩典上得着加力,好成为教师
15
16引经:提后二1~2
16
171.在基督耶稣的恩典上得着加力,成为预防者:
17
18A.面对召会败落的光景,保罗除了在提后一章,要提摩太将他的灵如火挑旺起来,接着,在提后二1鼓励提摩太,要在基督耶稣的恩典上得着加力,保罗不是嘱咐提摩太要在知识或恩赐上得着加力,乃是嘱咐他要在恩典上得着加力,这恩典是神所赐给,在召会败落、下坡的光景中,在生命中的神圣供备,使我们活出祂的定旨,保罗即使在监狱中也不沮丧,反而在恩典上得着加力。
18
19B.保罗体认恩典不是外面的恩赐,恩典一点不差,就是经过过程的三一神-父具体化身在子里,子实化为那灵,林后十三14指明,恩典就是三一神自己,恩典乃是一个独一的人位,三一神活的、神圣的人位,经过过程成为包罗万有、赐生命、内住的灵,在我们里面作我们的恩典,当我们在恩典上得着加力,就能成为预防者,预防召会的败落。
19
202.成为教师,忠信教导:
20
21A.在保罗说到提摩太要在基督耶稣的恩典上得着加力,好成为预防者之后,保罗就接着说到预防者的五个特别称呼,提后二2只说,你在许多见证人面前从我所听见的,要托付那忠信、能教导别人的人,这指出提摩太领受了美好的托付,受了教导,并得了恩典之丰富的餧养,所以他嘱咐提摩太,要成为教师,将这些事交托其他忠信能施行同样职事的人,使他们成为神诸般恩典的好管家,恩典的分赐者。
21
22B.要成为教师,我们就必须以教导神的经纶来牧养圣徒,我们当在耶稣的人性里将神圣的生命分赐给人以顾惜他们,并在基督的神性里将神圣的真理教导他们以餧养他们,使他们能够受保护,脱离那些败坏神建造的人,并使群羊与作恩典的三一神调和,并在祂的一里将群羊联结一起,这就是我们今天该操练,在基督耶稣的恩典上得着加力,好成为教师。
22
23应用:我们在基督耶稣的恩典上得加力,就能跟保罗一样,面对像是监狱一样的环境,也不沮丧,能够成为榜样,甚至像保罗嘱咐提摩太一样,将恩典的丰富传递给别人,而扩展神新约经纶的丰富。
