11林后一8~9 弟兄们,关于我们在亚西亚所遭遇的患难,我们不愿意你们不知道,就是我们被压太重,力不能胜,甚至连活命的指望都绝了,自己里面也断定是必死的,叫我们不信靠自己,只信靠那叫死人复活的神。
112 Cor. 1:8-9 For we do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, of our affliction which befell us in Asia, that we were excessively burdened, beyond our power, so that we despaired even of living. Indeed we ourselves had the response of death in ourselves, that we should not base our confidence on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead.
12我们为什么强调活神与复活的神之间的区别?……活神虽然可以为人作许多事,活神的性情却无法与人的性情调和。另一面,当复活的神作工时,祂的性情就作到人的性情里。……即使活神为你作了一些事,在这之后,和先前一样,祂还是祂,你还是你。……另一面,当复活的神作工时,祂就借着为人所作的事,把自己传输给人(李常受文集一九五七年第三册,二九页)。
12Why do we stress the distinction between the living God and the God of resurrection?…While the living God can perform many acts on man’s behalf, the nature of the living God cannot blend with the nature of man. When, on the other hand, the God of resurrection works, His very nature is wrought into the nature of man…Even when the living God has performed some act on your behalf, after that act as before it, He is still He, and you are still you… On the other hand, when the God of resurrection works, He communicates Himself to man by that which He does for him. (CWWL, 1957, vol. 3, “The Living God and the God of Resurrection,” pp. 19-20)

13使徒保罗见证他不仅认识活神,更认识复活的神。保罗受到极大的试炼,甚至连活命的指望都绝了,他却因此学会信靠那叫死人复活的神。当复活的神为他作事,叫他从死亡的情形里复活,那神圣的作为不仅为保罗有所成就,同时也将神自己的性情传输给保罗。
13The apostle Paul testifies to knowing not only the living God but also the God of resurrection. Paul was so sorely tried that he despaired even of living, but it was thus that he learned to trust in the God who raises the dead. When the God of resurrection acted on his behalf to raise him from the dead, that divine act not only accomplished something for Paul; it also communicated God’s own nature to Paul.
14一位弟兄病得很严重,被认为无可救药了。然而神怜悯他,为他行了神迹,使他痊愈了,从此他就见证神是活神这个事实。然而他痊愈不久后就堕入世界中。他即使活在世界里,仍旧记得神是活神,记得神保守他的生命脱离死亡。然而他并没有经历神圣生命的加增,仅仅经历了病得医治的神迹。
14A brother becomes seriously ill. His case is considered hopeless, but God has mercy on him and works a miracle on his behalf so that he recovers. Thereafter, he testifies to the fact that God is the living God. Yet within a short time of his recovery, he plunges right into the world. Even when he is living in the world, he still remembers that God is the living God and that God preserved his life from death. But he has experienced no increase of divine life; he has experienced only a miracle of healing.
15另一位弟兄病了。日子一天天过去,病情丝毫没有起色,很长一段时间他都在坟墓边缘徘徊。然后正当他完全绝了活命的指望时,他全人深处却渐渐对神有了感觉,复活生命开始在他里面作工。他领悟到一个事实,这复活的生命是能胜过一切患难,吞灭死亡的生命。他仍旧感觉非常软弱,仍在极大的试炼中。然而他又更深领悟到,神……乃是要作工分授祂自己。里面的光渐渐清楚,健康情形也逐渐好转。这位弟兄不仅经历神医,对神也有新的经历。……这位弟兄若作见证,不会说撼动人心的事,也不会强调神医,别人却能在他的生命中遇见神。
15Another brother becomes ill. Day after day passes without a vestige of improvement. For a long time he keeps hovering at the edge of the grave. Then, when he has completely despaired of living, in the depths of his being he gradually becomes aware of God. Resurrection life begins to work within, and he awakens to the fact that this resurrection life is a life that can overcome all affliction and can even swallow up death. He is still conscious of much weakness and is sorely tested; nevertheless, the realization deepens that God…is working to impart Himself. Light breaks upon him gradually, and gradually health returns. This brother does not just experience a healing; he comes into a new experience of God…If this second brother gives a word of testimony, there is nothing sensational about it, and there is no stress on the healing, yet you meet God in his life.
16苦难的意义是什么?苦难所带给旧造的毁坏,给复活的神机会,把祂自己分授到祂的造物里,使其从死的过程里出来时,在其构成上有了神圣的元素。宇宙中苦难的主要目的,特别对神的儿女来说,乃是要借此使神的性情得以作到人的性情里。……借着外面毁坏的过程,里面的过程得以发生,将新的构成成分加到我们的生命里〔林后四6〕。……当神要带你经过毁坏的过程时,你必须向祂表同意。你不需要惧怕,因为神知道如何分配苦难;……祂为每个人所选定的分,总是为着这目标,就是使我们生命里神圣的内容得以加增。祂若惩治我们,总是“为了我们的益处,使我们有分于祂的圣别”(来十二10)。“万有都互相效力,叫爱神的人得益处,就是按祂旨意被召的人。”(罗八28)得什么益处?就是“模成神儿子的形像”(29)(李常受文集一九五七年第三册,三○至三一、三五至三六页)。
16The significance of suffering…is this, that the devastation it brings to the old creation provides an opportunity for the God of resurrection to impart Himself into His creatures so that they emerge from the death process with a divine element in their constitution. The primary purpose of suffering in this universe, particularly as it relates to the children of God, is that through it the very nature of God may be wrought into the nature of man…Through a process of outward decay, an inward process is taking place that is adding a new constituent to our lives [2 Cor. 4:6]…You must give your consent to God when He seeks to lead you through devastating processes. And you need have no fear, for God knows how to apportion suffering…He invariably chooses the lot of each one with this goal in view—an increase of the divine content in our life. If He chastises us, it is always “what is profitable that we might partake of His holiness” (Heb. 12:10). “All things work together for good to those…who are called according to His purpose” (Rom. 8:28). What good? It is this, that we may be “conformed to the image of His Son” (v. 29). (CWWL, 1957, vol. 3, “The Living God and the God of Resurrection,” pp. 2021, 24-25)
17参读:活神与复活的神,第三篇。
17
今日要点
18主题:借着万有互相效力,而经历复活的神
18
19引经:林后一8~9
19
201.经历活神与经历复活的神之区别:
20
21A.我们要在复活里生活,经历、享受、并彰显基督作为复活,就必须认识、经历、并得着复活的神;活神与复活的神,在经历上有所不同,我们可以经历活神为人作许多事,但活神的生命和性情却没有作到人里面,祂还是祂,你还是你,惟有当复活的神作工时,祂的生命和性情才作到人里面。
21
22B.使徒保罗见证他不仅认识活神,更认识复活的神,林后一8~9保罗说,『弟兄们,关于我们在亚西亚所遭遇的患难,我们不愿意你们不知道,就是我们被压太重,力不能胜,甚至连活命的指望都绝了,自己里面也断定是必死的,叫我们不信靠自己,只信靠那叫死人复活的神』。
22
232.苦难给神机会,使人经历复活的神:
23
24A.当复活的神为保罗作事,叫他从死亡的情形里复活,那神圣的作为不仅为保罗有所成就,同时也将神自己的性情传输给保罗,这个经历与活神怜悯人给人经历神迹的经历差别很大,因为神迹不会有神自己的加增,但经历复活的神,却叫人对神有感觉,使人在生命中遇见神自己。
24
25B.在神的主宰里,神使用环境,叫万有互相效力,借着苦难,让神的性情得以作到人的性情里,苦难的意义是什么?苦难给复活的神有机会,把祂自己分赐到祂的造物里,使其从死的过程里出来,并在其构成上有了神圣的元素,叫爱神的人得益处,并使人模成神儿子的形像。
25
26应用:在环境、苦难中绝望时,不断向神敞开,好让复活生命在身上作工,而经历复活生命胜过一切换难,吞灭一切死亡,虽然在软弱、极大试炼中,里面的光却越过清楚,不仅经历医治,对神也有新的经历,而使我们不会说挑望人好奇的神迹,却会见证神如何让人在生命中遇见神自己。
