18路二三34 当下耶稣说,父啊,赦免他们,因为他们所作的,他们不晓得。……
18Luke 23:34 And Jesus said, Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing…
19林后十二15 我极其喜欢为你们花费,并完全花上自己。难道我越发爱你们,就越发少得你们的爱么?
192 Cor. 12:15 But I, I will most gladly spend and be utterly spent on behalf of your souls. If I love you more abundantly, am I loved less?
20被得罪是一件非常严重的事。不要随便地说,“在召会生活中,我被得罪了。长老和别的带头弟兄把我得罪了。”虽然别人可能得罪你,但头一个受害者却是你。一面来说,我定罪所有得罪人的事;但另一面我必须说,你没有理由被得罪。我们若不在自己里面,就不会被得罪。倘若我运用否认己的钥匙来关锁己,我就不可能被得罪。……由于己的门敞开,撒但就出来,我们就被得罪了。
20It is a very serious matter to be offended. Do not casually say, “I have been offended in the church life. The elders and other leading ones have offended me.” Although others may offend you, you will always be the first to suffer. On the one hand, I condemn all the offenses; but on the other hand, I must say that there is no excuse for your being offended. If we were not in ourselves, we could not be offended. If I exercise the key of self-denial to lock up the self, it will be impossible for me to be offended…Through the open gate of the self, Satan comes forth, and we are offended.
21不要以为召会错了,就不再是召会。比方,当你的小孩犯了错,他还是你的小孩。不管召会是对是错,仍是召会。在召会中,虽然你会被某事或某人得罪,但不要为自己找任何借口,否则这将阻挠召会的建造(李常受文集一九七八年第一册,八七至八八页)。
21Do not think that the church is no longer the church because it is wrong. For example, when your child makes a mistake, he is still your child. Whether the church is right or wrong, it is still the church. Although you may be offended by something or someone in the church, do not make any excuses for yourself. This frustrates the building up of the church. (CWWL, 1978, vol. 1, “The Exercise of the Kingdom for the Building of the Church,” p. 72)

22当有些事情发生摸着了我们,己就敞开了门。因着我们向阴间是敞开的,就有一些东西从阴间—撒但—出来。我们何等需要运用否认己的钥匙来锁住己!避免被人得罪的路,就在于借着否认己来关锁己。那些不被得罪的人,有福了。……当主耶稣来设立祂的审判台时,祂要我们向祂交账。祂会问我们为什么在某些地方被得罪。假如我们为自己找借口,主是不会接受的。问题不是得罪,而是己。有些病菌很容易传染,但没有一种病菌会使桌子生病。假如你会被得罪,就证明你满了己。如果我将我的己锁住,就无论你对我作什么,或者怎样对待我,我都不会被得罪。
22When certain things take place to touch us, the self is open. Because we are open to Hades, something from Hades—Satan—comes out. How we need to use the key of self-denial to lock the self! The way to keep from being offended by others is to lock up yourself by denying yourself. Blessed are those who are not offended…When the Lord Jesus comes and sets up His judgment seat, He will tell us to settle our account with Him. He may ask us why we were offended in certain places. But if we make excuses for ourselves, the Lord will not accept them. The problem is not the offense—it is the self. Certain viruses are very contagious. However, no virus can cause a table to be sick. If you can be offended, it is a proof that you are full of self. If my self has been locked up, I will not be offended no matter what you do to me or how you treat me.
23在召会生活中,不应该有任何天然的友谊。如果你把某些人当作你特别的朋友,这也指明你是满了己。某些人合你的口味,你也合他们的口味,你们彼此喂养个人的口味。这是非常损害并拦阻建造的。在召会里,在弟兄姊妹中间,只应该有纯净、神圣的爱,不应该有任何私人的情感。
23In the church life there should not be any natural friendships. If you regard certain ones as your special friends, it also is an indication that you are full of self. Certain ones match your taste, and you fit their taste. You feed one another’s taste. This is very damaging, and it hinders the building. Among the brothers and sisters in the church, there should be a pure divine love, but there should not be any personal affection.
24为着召会生活中主的建造,每一件天然的事都必须被拔出。不应该有天然的情感、关系或感觉。……每当一位弟兄用天然的情感爱我,我就害怕。那就是我使用钥匙来否认己的时候。我要锁住我的己并避开那位弟兄的情感。无论什么时候,当你发现你在喂养一个弟兄的己,并且他也在喂养你的己,你就必须运用这把钥匙来关锁己的门。假如你不锁住己,撒但就会从己的门出来,……主就不可能用你们来建造召会。
24For the Lord’s building in the church life, everything natural must be extracted. There should be no natural affection, relationship, or feeling…Whenever a brother loves me in a naturally affectionate way, I am frightened…Whenever you discover that you are feeding a brother’s self and that he is feeding yours, you must use the key to lock the gate of the self. If you do not lock up the self, Satan will come out through the door of the self…It will be impossible for the Lord to build the church with you.
25我很高兴在召会中有弟兄之家和姊妹之家。但根据经历,我们知道住在其中会产生两种结果:有一些人形成天然的友谊;另有些人不满意而失望。但无论情形如何,你不应该失望,失望证明你在己里面。那些住在弟兄姊妹之家的弟兄姊妹,他们的己必须被锁住。若是己被锁住,我们就会有建造。假如你使用否认己的钥匙,其他的人或许会被得罪,但你却不会被得罪。反之,你会被建造,因为你里面的己已经被锁住。我们都要使用这把否认己的得胜钥匙来锁住己、魂和心思。否则,召会的建造就会受阻碍(李常受文集一九七八年第一册,八八至九一页)。
25I am glad that in the churches we have the brothers’ houses and the sisters’ houses. But, through experience, we have realized that there are two kinds of results from living in such a house. Some form natural friendships; others become dissatisfied and disappointed. However, no matter what the situation may be, you should not be disappointed. To be disappointed is a proof that you are in the self. The self of those who live in the brothers’ and sisters’ houses must be locked up. If the self is locked up, we shall have the building. If you exercise the key of self-denial, others may be offended, but you will not be offended. Instead, you will be built up because the self in you has been locked up. We all need to use the prevailing key of self-denial to lock the self, the soul, and the mind. Otherwise, the building up of the church will be frustrated. (CWWL, 1978, vol. 1, “The Exercise of the Kingdom for the Building of the Church,” pp. 72-74)

今日要点
27主题:运用否认己的钥匙锁住己的许多表显,而使召会得着建造
27
291.借着否认己,锁住己的许多表显:
29
30a.要操练运用否认己这把钥匙,关上阴间的门,以建造召会,并活在国度的实际里,我们就需要认识己的表显,包括:野心、骄傲与自高,自义、自是、暴露人、批评人、定罪人,内顾自己与轻看自己,被得罪,失望与灰心,自爱、保留自己、自私自利、自怜、发怨言起争论、天然口味和偏爱的天然感情、固执己见与持异议,个人主义与独立。
30
31b.我们需要学习,操练在各种情况中运用否认己的钥匙锁住己,不管顺境或逆境,不论弟兄们是爱我们或恨我们,林后十二15保罗说,『我极其喜欢为你们花费,并完全花上自己。难道我越发爱你们,就越发少得你们的爱吗? 』这说出信徒的情形不影响保罗对他们的态度,因为保罗是一个锁住己的人。
31
322.借着操练否认己,不被得罪,使召会得建造:
32
33a. 我们天然生命无法赦免人,因此就会被得罪,然而,天父的生命能赦免,路二三34主说,『当下耶稣说,父阿,赦免他们,因为他们所作的,他们不晓得』,我们若运用否认己的钥匙来锁住己,我们就不可能被得罪。
33
34b.一面来说,我们该定罪所有得罪人的事,但另一面,我们都没有理由被得罪,我们若不在自己里面,就不会被得罪,由于己的门敞开,撒但就出来,我们就被得罪,这是因着我们向着阴间是敞开的,我们需要运用否认己这把钥匙,关上阴间的门,好使召会得着建造。
34
35应用:我们不该随便就认为自己被人得罪,随处发泄告诉别人,而开了阴间的门,我们不该为自己找借口,说都是别人这样我才会被得罪,反之,我们要看见都是因着己没有被锁住,不让己被餧养,就不会被得罪,召会的建造就不会受阻碍。
