12帖前一1 保罗、西拉和提摩太，写信给在父神和主耶稣基督里，帖撒罗尼迦人的召会：愿恩典与平安归与你们。
121 Thes. 1:1 Paul and Silvanus and Timothy to the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace.
13罗十一36 因为万有都是本于祂、借着祂、并归于祂；愿荣耀归与祂，直到永远。阿们。
13Rom. 11:36 Because out from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen.
14〔帖前一章一节启示，〕召会不仅是神的，是基督的；召会也是在神里，在基督里的。
14In 1 Thessalonians we have the revelation that the church is not only of God and of Christ but also in God the Father and in the Lord Jesus Christ.
15〔一节〕这里的“父”字指明生命的关系。……神是召会人的父，因为我们都已经从神而生。我们已经从神而生，现今神乃是我们的父！
15The word Father [in 1:1] indicates a relationship of life…God is the Father of the church people, for we have all been born of Him. It is a wonderful fact that we have been born of God and that He is now our Father!
16假定你的父亲是美国总统，你提到他的时候就可以说，“我的父亲总统。”……只说“我们的总统”，指明你可能是公民。但你若说“我的父亲总统”，这就指明总统是你的父亲，你与他有生命的关系。同样的原则，我们能说神是我们的父。神不再仅仅是我们的创造者，祂已成了我们的父，因为我们已经从神而生（帖撒罗尼迦前书生命读经，五一至五二页）。
16Suppose your father was the president of the United States. If such were the case, you could refer to him as “my father, the president.”…To refer to our president may indicate that you are a citizen. But if you could say, “my father, the president,” that would indicate that the president is your father and that you have a life relationship with him. In the same principle, we can speak of God as being our Father. No longer is God only our Creator. He has become our Father, for we have been born of Him. (Life-study of 1 Thessalonians, 2nd ed., pp. 42-43)

17父是源头；祂是创始者、发起者、筹划者、设计者。……主耶稣说，“我却认识祂，因为我是从祂来的，是祂差了我来。”〔约七29〕这句简短的话指明父是源头。父是源头，差遣子来。约翰十三章三节也指明父是源头：“耶稣知道父已将万有交在祂手里，且知道自己是从神出来的，又要往神那里去。”父是筹划者，祂差遣子来执行祂的计划。因为父是创始者、发起者，子从祂出来，并且从祂领受了一切（李常受文集一九八二年第二册，五一二页）。
17The Father is the source; He is the Originator, the Initiator, the Planner, and the Designer…The Lord Jesus said, “I know Him, because I am from Him, and He sent Me” [John 7:29]. This brief word indicates that the Father is the source. As the source, the Father sent the Son. John 13:3 also indicates that the Father is the source: “Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all into His hands and that He had come forth from God and was going to God.” The Father is the Planner, and He sent the Son to carry out His plan. Because the Father is the Originator and the Initiator, the Son came forth from Him and received all from Him. (CWWL, 1982, vol. 2, “The Fulfillment of the Tabernacle and the Offerings in the Writings of John,” p. 397)
18神是父，意思就是神是创造者，神是唯一的发起人。子是父差遣来的。“子从自己不能作什么，唯有看见父所作的，子才能作；父所作的事，子也照样作。”（约五19）这是我们必须有的经历。我们必须蒙神的恩典，看见我们在神面前不能发起一件事。……起初不是我，起初是神〔创一1〕。神是父，一切都是出乎神。
18For God to be the Father means that God is the Creator, the unique Initiator. The Son was sent from the Father. “The Son can do nothing from Himself except what He sees the Father doing, for whatever that One does, these things the Son also does in like manner” (John 5:19). This must be our experience. We must receive grace from God to realize that we cannot initiate anything…In the beginning it was not us, but God [Gen. 1:1]. God is the Father, and everything originates from Him.
19有一天神给你看见“神是父”的时候，那一天是你有福的一天。那一天你会认识你不能作什么，你没有办法。你并不是勒住自己不作一件事，勒住自己不作两件事；你乃是问说，神起头了没有？这就是亚伯拉罕的经历。他的经历就是给我们看见，他不是自己要作神的子民。亚伯拉罕没有起头，是神起头的，是神从伯拉大河那一边把他带过来（十二1~5）。
19The day that God shows you that He is the Father will be a blessed day. On that day you will realize that you cannot do anything and that you are helpless. You will not have to try to hold yourself back from doing this thing or that thing. Instead you will ask, “Has God initiated this?” This is the experience of Abraham. His experience shows us that he had no thought of becoming God’s people. Abraham did not initiate anything. It was God who initiated. It was God who brought him from the other side of the Euphrates River (12:1-5).
20我们如果真知道神是父，我们自己就没有这么多把握，就不能说，我要作什么就作什么；只能说，主若愿意，我才能作，主怎么说，我才怎么定规。这不是说要你作一个犹豫不决的人，这是说你自己真的不知道，只有父指示了你才知道。
20If you know that God is the Father, you will not be so confident and will not say that you can do whatever you want. You will only say, “If the Lord is willing, I will do this and that. Whatever the Lord says, I will do.” This does not mean that you should be indecisive. It means that you truly do not know what to do and that you only know after the Father has revealed His will.
21亚伯拉罕认识神是父。这一种的认识，不是道理上的认识。这一种的认识，是真被神带到一个地步，看见说，“神啊，我不是根源，你是万有的根源，也是我的根源。没有你，就没有起头。”这是亚伯拉罕。……我们需要学习的第一个功课就是这一个—我自己不能作什么，一切都在乎神，祂是父，祂是一切的起头（倪柝声文集第二辑第十五册，六至八页）。
21Abraham knew God as the Father. This kind of knowledge is not a knowledge in doctrine. It is a knowledge in which one is brought to the point of confessing, “God, I am not the source. You are the source of everything, and You are my source. Without You, I cannot have a beginning.” This was Abraham…The first lesson we have to learn is to realize that we can do nothing and that everything depends on God. He is the Father, and He is the Initiator of everything. (CWWN, vol. 35, “The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,” pp. 8-9)

今日要点
23主题：作为父的家，召会乃是在父神里的召会
23
24引经：帖前一1，罗十一36
24
251.在父神里的召会说出生命的关系：
25
26A. 在帖前一1说，『保罗、西拉和提摩太，写信给在「父神…里…的召会」，愿恩典与平安归与你们』，这一节启示，召会不仅是神的，是基督的，是在地方的，召会也是在父神里的召会，因此，父的家，召会，乃是在父神里的。
26
27B. 我们都已经由神所生，现今祂是我们的父，假定你的父亲是总统，你提到他时就可以说我的父亲总统，其他公民却不能这样说，因为只有你与总统有生命的关系，这说出神不仅是我们的神，我们的创造主，神也必须成为我们的父，我们与神有生命的关系。
27
282.在父神里的召会说出父是源头：
28
29A. 此外，在父神里的召会，也说出，父不仅是源头，祂也是创始者、发起者、筹划者、设计者，我们也必须经历父是那独一的源头、发起者和起始者，一切都是由祂发起，由祂而出，罗十一36说，『因为万有都是本于祂、借着祂、并归于祂』，因此，我们众人应当在祂独一的定旨和计划里。
29
30B.我们可从亚伯拉罕看见，不是亚伯拉罕起头，而是亚伯拉罕认识神是父，是神起的头，把他引领出来跟随神，主耶稣也给我们一个绝佳的榜样，子是父差遣来的，因此子从自己不能作什么，子从父领受了一切，主认识神是父，一切都是出于神，父是一切的起头。
30
31应用：当我们认识神是父，我们就不会有这么多的把握，就不能说，只要我喜欢，有什么不可以？也不需要再努力，勒住自己不作一些事，而是祷告求问说，神啊，你起头了吗？你若愿意，我才去做，你怎么说，我怎么定规。
