第二周　周二

纲目

1贰国度子民的原则乃是过隐藏的生活，不将自己的义行表现在人前，这些义行就如施舍（2～4）、祷告（5～15）及禁食（16～18）：

2一在这三个例证当中，主都使用了“隐密”这辞（4、6、18）：我们的父是在隐密中，祂在隐密中察看；国度子民是天父的儿女，必须活在父隐密和隐藏的同在里，并顾到父隐密和隐藏的同在。

3二国度子民在国度属天的管治之下，活在倒空、谦卑的灵里，以纯洁、单一的心行事，就不可在肉体里作什么，得人的称赞；乃是必须在灵里作一切事，讨他们天父的喜悦——五3、8。

4三在隐密中行义，结果乃是杀死肉体和己；在社会上甚至在堕落的基督教中，如果不允许人显扬他们的善行，他们就不干了；己喜爱得人荣耀，肉体喜爱被人注视。

5四在明处长大的圣徒，不是健康的长大；我们都需要一些生命中隐密的长大，一些对基督隐密的经历；我们需要隐密地祷告主、敬拜主、接触主并与主交通。

6太六1 你们要小心，不可将你们的义行在人前，故意叫他们注视；不然，在你们诸天之上的父面前，你们就没有赏赐了。

6Matt. 6:1 But take care not to do your righteousness before men in order to be gazed at by them; otherwise, you have no reward with your Father who is in the heavens.

73~4 但你施舍的时候，不要让左手知道右手所作的，好叫你的施舍可在隐密中，你父在隐密中察看，必要报答你。

73-4 But you, when you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your alms may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will repay you.

8〔马太六章一节〕的“义”是指义行，如二至四节所说的施舍，五至十五节所说的祷告，及十六至十八节所说的禁食。毫无疑问，这些经节说到国度子民的义行。然而，实际上，这些经节暴露己和肉体。……当然，这些经节没有用“己”和“肉体”二辞，然而……在这十八节中，主用了三个例证—施舍、祷告和禁食—启示出我们是如何充满了己和肉体。

8Righteousness [in Matthew 6:1] denotes righteous deeds, such as giving alms (vv. 2-4), praying (vv. 5-15), and fasting (vv. 16-18). No doubt these verses speak about the righteous deeds of the kingdom people. Actually, however, they expose the self and the flesh…Of course, the words self and flesh are not used in these verses. Nevertheless,…in these eighteen verses the Lord used three illustrations—the giving of alms, praying, and fasting—to reveal how we are filled with the self and the flesh.

9人那寻求荣耀自己的肉体，总想在人前行善，得人称赞。但国度子民在国度属天的管治之下，活在倒空、谦卑的灵里，以纯洁、单一的心行事，就不可在肉体里作什么，得人的称赞；乃必须凡事行在灵里，讨他们天父的喜悦（马太福音生命读经，二八七至二八八页）。

9Man’s flesh, seeking to glorify itself, always wants to do good deeds before men in order to gain men’s praise. But the kingdom people, who live in an emptied and humbled spirit and walk in a pure and single heart under the heavenly ruling of the kingdom, are not allowed to do anything in the flesh to gain the praise of men but must do all things in the spirit to please their heavenly Father. (Life-study of Matthew, pp. 241-242)

10对于国度子民，神不仅是他们的神，也是他们的父；……他们不仅有人受造的天然生命，也有神非受造的属灵生命。因此，王在山上将国度的新律法颁布给他们，用意是要他们不凭着人堕落的生命，乃凭着父永远的神圣生命来遵行；不是要得人的荣耀，乃是要得父的赏赐。

10To the kingdom people God is not only their God but also their Father…They have not only the created, natural human life but also the uncreated, spiritual divine life. Hence, the new law of the kingdom, decreed by the King on the mountain, is given to them with the intention that they should keep it not by their fallen human life but by the Father’s eternal, divine life, not to gain man’s glory but to receive the Father’s reward.

11〔在马太六章四、六、十八节，〕主都使用了“隐密”这辞。……我们必须在隐密中行义，因为我们的父是在隐密中。在四节主说，我们的父在隐密中察看。国度子民是天父的儿女，必须活在父的同在里，并顾到父的同在。……天父在隐密中的察看，必是他们在隐密中行义的激励。在这节主也说，父必要报答我们。这可能发生在今世（林后九10~11），或在来世作为赏赐（路十四14）。

11[In Matthew 6:4, 6, 18] the Lord used the word secret…We must do our righteous deeds in secret, for our Father is in secret. In verse 4 the Lord said that our Father sees in secret. The kingdom people, as children of the heavenly Father, must live in the presence of the Father and care for the Father’s presence…The heavenly Father’s seeing in secret must be an incentive to doing their righteous deeds in secret. In this verse the Lord also said that the Father will repay us. This may occur in this age (2 Cor. 9:10-11) or as a reward in the coming age (Luke 14:14).

12在隐密中行义，结果乃是杀死己和肉体。今天如果不允许人在社会上显扬他们的善行，他们就不干了。……对我们国度子民而言，关于义行的基本原则是绝不要显扬自己。尽可能隐藏自己、遮盖自己并在隐密中行事。我们该隐藏到一个地步，正如主耶稣所说的，左手不知道右手所作的（太六3）。

12The effect of doing our righteous deeds in secret is that the self and the flesh are killed. If people in society today are not allowed to make a show of their good deeds, they will not do them …For us as kingdom people, a basic principle concerning righteous deeds is never to make a show of ourselves. As much as possible, hide yourself, keep yourself covered, and do things in secret. We should be so hidden that, as the Lord Jesus said, our left hand does not know what our right hand is doing (Matt. 6:3).

13虽然主说到赏赐（1、5），但这里重要的事不是赏赐，乃是在生命里长大。在明处长大的圣徒，不是健康的长大。我们都需要一些生命中隐密的长大，一些对基督隐密的经历。我们需要隐密地祷告主、敬拜主、接触主并与主交通，也许连最亲近我们的人，也不知道或领会我们在作什么。我们需要这些对主隐密的经历，因为这样的经历杀死我们的己和我们的肉体。虽然怒气和情欲很丑陋，但最阻挠我们生命长大的乃是己。己是最明显的，它喜欢公开在人面前行事。己喜欢在人面前行义。我们都必须承认，我们有这样的己，没有一人例外。那些行事总要公开显扬的人，就是满了己，满了肉体。己喜爱得人荣耀，肉体喜爱被人注视。……每当我们来到这段话时，我们必须领悟这段话乃是暴露我们的己和我们的肉体（马太福音生命读经，二八八至二九一页）。

13Although the Lord spoke about the matter of reward (vv. 1, 5), the important thing here is not the reward but the growth in life. The saints who grow openly do not grow in a healthy way. We all need some secret growth in life, some secret experiences of Christ. We need to pray to the Lord, worship the Lord, contact the Lord, and fellowship with the Lord in a secret way. Perhaps not even the one closest to us will know or understand what we are doing. We need these secret experiences of the Lord because such experiences kill our self and our flesh. Although anger and lust are ugly, the thing that most frustrates us from growing in life is the self. The self is most visible in the fact that it enjoys doing things in a public way, in the presence of man. The self likes to do righteous deeds before man. We all must admit that, without exception, we have such a self. Those who always want to do things in such a way as to make a public show are full of self, full of the flesh. The self loves to be glorified, and the flesh loves to be gazed upon…Whenever we come to this portion of the Word, we must realize that it exposes our self and our flesh. (Life-study of Matthew, pp. 242-244)

今日要点

15主题：过隐藏的生活，留在国度子民的原则里

16引经：太六1，太六3~4

171.过隐藏的生活，留在国度子民的原则里：

18a.我们看见了主的榜样，我们就需要学习活在国度子民的原则里，在太六1说，『你们要小心，不可将你们的义行在人前，故意叫他们注视；不然，在你们诸天之上的父面前，你们就没有赏赐了』，这里的义，是指义行，本章启示，国度子民的原则乃是过隐藏的生活，不将自己的义行，就如施舍、祷告、禁食...等，表现在人前。

19B.太六3~4说，『但你们施舍的时候，不要让左手知道右手所作的，好叫你的施舍可在隐密中，你父在隐密中查看，必要报答你』，在这几节经文中，行在人前、不要让左手知道这样的发表，与隐藏、隐密相对，主使用了『隐密』一词，说出父在隐密中查看并赏赐，这些经节没有『己』或『肉体』这些词，然而，实际上，这些经文说出，借着施舍等义行，人的己和肉体被暴露出来。

202.要过隐藏的生活，就需要让生命隐密的长大：

21A.人天然的生命和性情，都喜好寻求荣耀自己的肉体，行善也要在人前，得人的称赞，但是，国度子民已经重生，得着了神非受造的神圣生命，所以，国度子民不该凭着人堕落的生命，而该凭父永远的神圣生命，不是要得人的荣耀，乃是要得父的赏赐，因此，国度子民是天父的儿女，必须操练活在父隐密和隐藏的同在里。

22b.这不是说，只要外面有隐藏的行为就好，而是国度子民里面也要在国度属天管治之下，活在倒空、谦卑的灵里，以纯洁、单一的心行事，不可在肉体里作，好得人的称赞，因此，在隐密中行事，结果乃是杀死肉体和己，因为在明处长大的圣徒，不是健康的长大，国度子民需要一些生命中隐密的长大。

23应用：每次想要显扬，就受提醒自己还活在己和肉体里，借此转回灵里，向主祷告，而使我们经历基督之死的杀死，杀死己和肉体，而使我们有真实生命的长大，并有健康的召会生活。
