纲目
1二 我们需要学习运用背十字架这把钥匙——太十六24：
1
21 背起十字架意思就是接受神的旨意；十字架就是神的旨意——二六39，约十八11：
2
3a 主耶稣不是像犯人一样，被逼去钉十字架；祂乃是心甘情愿去的，因为十字架是神的旨意——太二六39。
3
4b 主耶稣愿意钉十字架，使生命能借着祂的死释放出来，好产生并建造召会——约十二24。
4
5c 十字架对主来说是极大的受苦，但祂不在乎这种受苦，乃在乎完成神的定旨——来十二2，西—24。
5
62 “就当⋯⋯背起他的十字架”（太十六24）的意思是，我们不是被迫背十字架，乃是甘愿背十字架：
6
7a 我们的丈夫、妻子和儿女是神的旨意，因此是我们的十字架。
7
8b 独一的召会是神的旨意，在召会中每一位弟兄和姊妹也是神的旨意；因此，背十字架就是背负召会，并背负所有的圣徒，使我们有真正的一——约十七21～23，弗四3、13，林前一10，腓二2。
8
93 我们不仅需要背起我们的十字架，也要背着我们的十字架，也就是留在十字架上，天天把我们的旧人留在十字架的了结里——路十四27，罗六6，加二20，腓三10，林前十五31：
9
10a 我们已经借着主的钉十字架接受了神圣的生命；现今我们要在这生命里得着建造，就需要甘愿并快乐地背起十字架。
10
11b 我们不该顾到我们的口味、感受或感觉；相反的，我们只该顾到神的旨意，就是要有真正的一——约十七21～23，弗四3、13，林前一10，腓二2。

12太二六39 祂〔耶稣〕……面伏于地，祷告说，我父啊，若是可能，就叫这杯离开我；然而不要照我的意思，只要照你的意思。
12Matt. 26:39 …He fell on His face and prayed, saying, My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; yet not as I will, but as You will.
13弗四3 以和平的联索，竭力保守那灵的一。
13Eph. 4:3 Being diligent to keep the oneness of the Spirit in the uniting bond of peace.
14钉十字架是罗马政府用来处死犯人的方法。无疑的，对于犯人，十字架是一种受苦，因为不是他选择钉十字架；相反的，犯人是被迫钉十字架。但主耶稣的钉十字架完全不同，祂不是被迫忍受钉死的苦，而是祂自己拣选的。……祂乃是心甘情愿的，因为祂的十字架是神的旨意。因此，祂的钉十字架是为着完成神的旨意。……换句话说，基督不像犯人被迫去受死。相反的，祂愿意被钉死，借着死，使祂的生命得以释放出来而产生召会。
14Crucifixion was the method used by the Roman government to execute criminals. No doubt, to the criminal, the cross was a suffering because he did not choose to be crucified. On the contrary, he was forced to be crucified. The crucifixion of the Lord Jesus, however, was altogether different. He was not forced to suffer crucifixion; He chose it. This was His own preference…He was willing to do so because His cross was God’s will. Hence, His crucifixion was for the fulfillment of God’s will …In other words, Christ was not forced to die like a criminal. Rather, He was willing to be crucified so that through death His life might be released to produce the church.
15当主在十字架上时，忍受了极大的痛苦。但那痛苦不是强加于祂的，乃是祂甘愿接受的。在马太二十六章三十九节主向父祷告说，“不要照我的意思，只要照你的意思。”同时祂也祷告：“愿你的旨意成就。”（42）主是甘愿背起十字架，上十字架，而且留在十字架上，直等到神的旨意成就。这是在圣经中第一次提到十字架的意义（李常受文集一九七八年第一册，九七至九八页）。
15When He was on the cross, the Lord suffered greatly. But that suffering was not forced upon Him. He took it willingly. In Matthew 26:39 the Lord prayed to the Father, “Not as I will, but as You will.” At that same time He also prayed, “Your will be done” (v. 42). The Lord was willing to take up the cross, to go to the cross, and to remain on the cross until God’s will had been fulfilled. This is the significance of the first mention of the cross in the Bible. (CWWL, 1978, vol. 1, “The Exercise of the Kingdom for the Building of the Church,” p. 81)

16我们不是被迫背负十字架，我们乃是甘愿背起十字架。请注意，主耶稣不是说，“就当否认己而被钉十字架。”不，祂是说，“就当……背起他的十字架。”〔太十六24〕……然而，有些弟兄曾说，“我已多次被我亲爱的妻子钉十字架。”这样的弟兄不是背负十字架的人；他们是罪犯而被他们的妻子处决。假如你说你的孩子一直将你钉十字架，你就不是一个背负十字架的人，而是一个被处决的罪犯。……“你是罪犯，还是背负十字架的人？”我们都必须说，“赞美主，我不是罪犯，我乃是甘愿背负十字架的人。我没有被别人钉十字架；反之，我要拿起十字架而且背负它。”
16We are not forced to bear the cross, but…we willingly take it up. Notice, the Lord Jesus did not say, “Let him deny himself and be crucified.” No, He said, “Let him…take up his cross” [Matt. 16:24]…However, certain brothers have said, “I have been crucified by my dear wife many times.” Such brothers are not cross-bearers; they are criminals executed by their wives. If you say that your children are crucifying you, you are not a cross-bearer, but an executed criminal…Are you a criminal or a cross-bearer? We all need to say, “Praise the Lord, I am not a criminal. I am one who is willing to bear the cross. I have not been crucified by others; rather, I take up the cross and bear it.”
17倘若一位弟兄的妻子使他受苦，既然不许可离婚，对于妻子他只有两个选择。他可以像一个在十字架上被处决的罪犯因妻子受苦，或者把妻子当作神的旨意，当作他的业分。他可以说，“神已经把她指派给我。不是我要和她结婚，乃是神要把她给我。这是神的旨意，神的命定。阿利路亚，我甘心乐意背十字架！我不是罪犯，而是快乐地背负十字架的人。”如果我们这样作，主就与我们同在，我们将享受生命的丰富。而且，我们就有一个建造成为一的刚强见证。
17Suppose a brother’s wife causes him to suffer. Since no divorce is permitted, he has two choices regarding her. He may either suffer with her like a criminal being executed on the cross, or he may take her as God’s will and as his lot and portion. He may say, “God has allotted her to me. It was not I who married her; it was God who gave her to me. This is God’s will, God’s ordination. Hallelujah, I am willing and happy to bear the cross! I am not a criminal but a happy crossbearer.” If we do this, the presence of the Lord will be with us, and we shall enjoy the riches of life. Furthermore, we shall have a strong testimony of being built into one.
18我们需要祷告：“主啊，使我像你一样作个乐意背负十字架的人。在马太二十六章，你明白了神的旨意，就甘愿去作，欢乐地背起十字架。你能召十二营天使来搭救你，但你不这样作。……主，感谢你，借着你甘愿背负十字架，我们今天在这里得以成为召会。现在，主，我们要有分于你的甘愿背起十字架，使你的生命可以释放出来。”
18We need to say, “Lord, make me a willing cross-bearer like You were. You learned what God’s will was in Matthew 26, and then You were willing to do it. You were glad to take up the cross. You could have summoned twelve legions of angels to rescue You, but You did not do it…Thank You, Lord, that through Your willingness to bear the cross we are here today as the church. Now, Lord, we want to partake of Your willingness to take up the cross so that Your life may be released.”
19我们必须说，“主啊，你的旨意是在宇宙中只有一个召会，在每一个城市只有一个召会。主，你的旨意也是要我与所有的弟兄姊妹是一。只要是信徒，我就必须接纳，没有任何选择或偏爱。我喜欢或不喜欢都算不得什么。”这是我们能被建造在一起唯一的路。否则，我们的偏爱和口味会不断地变动。……在召会生活和婚姻生活中，不该上下波动。能使我们稳固并坚定的，乃是背负十字架（李常受文集一九七八年第一册，九九、一○一、一○三、一○五页）。
19We need to say, “Lord, Your will is that there be one church in the universe and one church in every city. Lord, Your will is also that I be one with all my brothers and sisters. As long as anyone is a believer, I must accept him without choice or preference. My likes or dislikes do not mean anything.” This is the unique way for us to be built together. Otherwise, our preferences and tastes will constantly fluctuate…Both in the church life and in married life there should be no fluctuation. What can keep us stable and steadfast is the bearing of the cross. (CWWL, 1978, vol. 1, “The Exercise of the Kingdom for the Building of the Church,” pp. 81-86)

今日要点
21主题：召会的建造在于操练运用背十字架这把钥匙关上阴间的门
21
22引经：太二六39，弗四3
22
231.背十字架就是接受神的旨意：
23
24a.要使召会得建造，活在神国的实际里，我们就需要关上阴间的门，操练学习运用背起十字架这把钥匙，这不是指外面学习主背一个十字架走往各各他的路程，根据太二六39，『祂（耶稣）…面伏于地，祷告说，我父阿，若是可能，就叫这杯离开我；然而不要照我的意思，只要照你的意思』。
24
25b.因此，背十字架意思就是接受神的旨意，对主来说，十字架就是神的旨意，主不是被逼去钉十字架，主乃是心甘情愿去的，因为十字架乃是神的旨意，一面，十字架对主是极大的痛苦，另一面，祂不在乎痛苦，祂只在乎完成神的旨意，使生命借着死释放出来，产生并建造召会。
25
262.实行主的旨意背十字架，要甘愿：
26
27a.因此，主要我们背起自己的十字架，我们不是被迫背十字架，乃是甘愿背十字架，可以说，我们的丈夫、妻子和儿女，是神的旨意，是我们的十字架，召会与弟兄姊妹也是神的旨意，因此背十字架就是背负召会、圣徒，而使我们有弗四3所说，以和平的联索，竭力保守那灵的一。
27
28b.在太十六24说到背起十字架，路十四27则说到背着十字架，意思是我们不仅要背，更要留在十字架上，天天把我们的旧人留在十字架的了结里，这样，无论面对家庭或召会生活，我们都只顾到神的旨意，这会使我们稳固并坚定，使我们能被建造在一起，而在召会中过国度的生活。
28
29应用：我们被迫钉十字架，都心不甘情不愿，就会死不干净，想要从十架上跳下来，这不是真正经历基督之死的杀死，反之，我们需要看见这是神的旨意，使我们甘愿让死在我们身上发动，生命才会在我们和别人身上发动，带进真实生命的建造。
