9约十四1~2 你们心里不要受搅扰,你们当信入神,也当信入我。在我父的家里,有许多住处;若是没有,我早已告诉你们了;我去是为你们预备地方。
9John 14:1-2 Do not let your heart be troubled; believe into God, believe also into Me. In My Father’s house are many abodes; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you.
10提前三15 倘若我耽延,你也可以知道在神的家中当怎样行;这家就是活神的召会,真理的柱石和根基。
101 Tim. 3:15 But if I delay, I write that you may know how one ought to conduct himself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and base of the truth.
11约翰十四章一节启示了两个非常重要的点。第一是主与神相同。人若信入神,也必信入主,因为主与神自己是相同的。事实上,主就是神自己。
11John 14:1 reveals two very important points. The first is that the Lord is the same as God. If one believes into God, he must also believe into the Lord, for the Lord is the same as God Himself. In fact, the Lord is God Himself.
12一节第二个重要的点乃是:信神和信入神不同。你也许说你信神,但你是否信入神?……这章的基本思想乃是:主要帮助或教导门徒在神里面。我们必须记住,信神是客观的,信入神是主观的。乃是这种主观的信,将我们带进神里面。主实在是说,“你们若信入神,也当信入我。” “入”字是很要紧的。……我们不可遗漏这字。这里不是客观的相信事实,乃是主观的相信,将我们带进神里面。本章的中心思想就是我们必须信入神(约翰福音生命读经,三九五、三九七页)。
12The second important point in 14:1 is that believing God is different from believing into God. You may say that you believe God, but do you believe into God?… The basic thought of this chapter is that the Lord intended to help or instruct the disciples to be in God. We must remember that to believe God is objective but to believe into God is subjective. It is this kind of subjective believing that brings us into God. In effect, the Lord was saying, “If you believe into God, you must also believe into Me.” The preposition into is very important…We must not miss the preposition. It is not a matter of believing the fact objectively; it is a matter of the subjective believing that brings us into God. The central thought of this chapter is that we must believe into God. (Life-study of John, 2nd ed., pp. 336, 338)

13按照天然的观念,大多数基督徒都认为,约翰十四章二节所说父的家必是指父神所住的第三层天。但我们不可按照我们天然的观念解释圣经。我们必须用圣经解释圣经。……“我父的家”这辞在约翰福音中用过两次。第一次在二章十六节,在那里清楚的指圣殿,指神在地上的居所。这殿是耶稣身体的预表(21)。……这殿在复活里已扩大为基督的身体。……在十六节,“我父的家”是在地上的殿。这不是指诸天之上的一个地方,乃是指神在地上的殿。殿既是耶稣身体的预表,耶稣的身体就是帐幕(一14),就是殿,作神在地上的居所。“我父的家”这辞的解释,在二章中已经清楚表明了。……我们不该以为十四章二节的这辞,和二章十六节的同一个辞意义不同,因为那是不合逻辑的。这辞在同一卷福音书中第二次用到时,必须与第一次用到时意义相同。所以,在约翰十四章里父家的意思,也必定是神在地上的居所,不会是第三层天。在二章,父的家最终就是基督的身体;在十四章,父的家也必定是基督的身体。……现在我们有了“我父的家”这辞正确的解释,就是基督的身体,也就是召会。
13According to the natural concept, most Christians think that the Father’s house mentioned in John 14:2 must refer to the third heaven where God the Father dwells. But we must not interpret the Bible according to our natural concepts. Rather, we must interpret the Scripture with the Scripture…The phrase My Father’s house is used twice in the Gospel of John. It is used the first time in 2:16, where it clearly refers to the temple, the dwelling place of God on earth. The temple is a type, a figure, of the body of Jesus (v. 21), which…has in resurrection been enlarged into the Body of Christ…In 2:16 My Father’s house refers to the temple on earth. It does not denote a place in the heavens but God’s temple on earth. Since the temple is the type of the body of Jesus, the body of Jesus is the tabernacle (1:14), the temple, for God’s dwelling place on earth. This interpretation of the phrase My Father’s house is clearly shown in chapter 2…We should not take this phrase in 14:2 to have a different meaning from the same phrase found in 2:16, for that would be illogical. The second time that this phrase is used in the same Gospel, it must have the same definition as the first time it is used. Thus, the Father’s house in chapter 14 must also mean God’s dwelling place on earth. It cannot mean the third heaven. In chapter 2 the Father’s house is eventually the Body of Christ, and in chapter 14 it must also be the Body of Christ…Now we have the proper interpretation of the phrase My Father’s house: it is the Body of Christ, that is, the church.
15在书信中,关于基督的身体是召会,以及召会是神的家这启示,得着完全的发展。提前三章十五节揭示召会是活神的家。因此,父的家必是指活神在地上的居所,而不是指天上。林前三章十六节告诉我们,全体信徒是神的殿。彼前二章五节说,我们这些活石被建造成为属灵的殿。……此外,希伯来三章六节说,我们就是神的家。以弗所二章二十一至二十二节说,信徒同被建造成为神的居所,不是在诸天之上,乃是在灵里。因此全本新约支持这个解释,就是:父的家至终乃是约翰福音本身可看到的基督的身体。在约翰福音和全本新约里,父的家不是指天上,乃是指基督的身体,就是作神在地上居所的召会(约翰福音生命读经,三九七至三九九页)。
15In the Epistles the revelation that the Body of Christ is the church and that the church is the house of God is fully developed. First Timothy 3:15 discloses that the church is the house of the living God. Hence, the Father’s house must mean the house of the living God on earth and not in heaven. First Corinthians 3:16 tells us that the believers, as a whole entity, are the temple of God. First Peter 2:5 says that we, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house…Furthermore, Hebrews 3:6 says that we are the house of God, and Ephesians 2:21-22 says that the believers are being built together as God’s dwelling place, not in the heavens but in spirit. Thus, the whole New Testament supports the interpretation, as found in the Gospel of John itself, that the Father’s house is eventually the Body of Christ. The Father’s house in the Gospel of John and in the whole New Testament is not heaven but the Body of Christ, which is the church as the dwelling place, the habitation of God on earth.

今日要点
17主题:借着信入神,进入神里面,以建造父的家
17
18
191.约翰福音的中心思想:
19
20A.约翰十四章1节说,『你们心里不要受搅扰,你们当信入神,也当信入我』,本节有两个要点,第一,主与神相同,信入神,也必信入主,事实上主就是神自己。接着,和合本圣经翻译为信神,有所缺漏,按照原文应该翻译为信入神,因此,第二个重点是,信神和信入神不同,信神是客观的,信入神是主观的。
20
21B.事实上,这章的中心思想,就在第一节,主观的信将我们带进神里面,借着信入主,我们进入祂里面,与祂成为一,得享祂,并有分祂为我们所完成的一切,借着信入基督,我们与祂有生机的联结,并且我们全人浸没在祂里面,使二者在生机上成为一。
21
222.父的家之启示的演进:
22
23A.约十四2说,『在我父的家里,有许多住处;若是没有,我早已告诉你们了;我去是为你们预备地方』,父的家是约翰独特的发表,第一次在约二16,那是指神在地上的居所,就是圣殿,殿作为耶稣身体的预表或象征,这身体在复活里已扩大为基督的身体,第二次在约十四2,这节我父的家,乃是基督的身体,也就是召会作为神的家。
23
24B.在约十四2,说到在父的家里,有许多住处,大多数基督徒读到约翰十四章,都根据KJV英文译本翻译为mantions(华厦),而认为在讲天堂,看似如此,但我们不能用天然的观念来解释圣经,这不是指天堂的许多房间,而是指基督身体的许多肢体,这身体就是神的殿,神的家,所有在基督里的信徒,都是父的家里面的住处。
24
25应用:我们对神的经历,不能只是客观的像美钞上面所说,In God We Trust这样客观对神的经历,我们需要借着祷告着读主的话,而接受神到我们里面,并使我们被带进神圣奥秘的范围,使我们的说话与工作,都有神的同在和供应。
