纲目
2壹 为着生命,我们需要油,就是神的灵,更要被这灵充满,使我们能过童女的生活,作主的见证——太二五49~10
2
3一 “那时,诸天的国好比十个童女,拿着她们的灯,出去迎接新郎”——1节:
3
41 童女象征信徒生命的一面——林后十一2
4
52 信徒是国度的子民,乃像贞洁的童女,在黑暗的世代里为主作见证(灯),并从世界走出去迎接主;为此,他们不仅需要圣灵的内住,也需要圣灵的充满。
5
63 灯象征信徒的灵(箴二十27),里面装着神的灵作油(罗八16):
6
7a 信徒从他们的灵里,照耀出神的灵所发的光;为要让神圣的光照进人内里的各部分,神的灵作为油,必须浸润(调和)作为灯芯的人的灵(参16),并与人的灵一同“焚烧”(十二11)。
7
8b 因此,信徒成了世上的光,如同灯照耀在这黑暗的世代里(太五14~16腓二15~16),为主作见证,使神得着荣耀。
8
94 精明的童女拿着她们的灯,又在器皿里带着油——太二五4
9
10a 人是为着神造的器皿(罗九2123~24),人的个格是在他的魂里;因此,马太二十五章四节里的“器皿”象征信徒的魂。
10
11b 五个精明的童女不仅在她们的灯里有油,也在器皿里带着油;灯里有油,表征她们有神的灵住在她们的灵里(罗八916);器皿里带着油,表征她们有神的灵充满,浸透她们的魂(参彼前二25来十三17)。

12太二五1~4 那时,诸天的国好比十个童女,拿着她们的灯,出去迎接新郎。其中五个是愚拙的,五个是精明的。愚拙的拿着她们的灯,却没有带着油;但精明的拿着她们的灯,又在器皿里带着油。
12Matt. 25:1-4 At that time the kingdom of the heavens will be likened to ten virgins, who took their lamps and went forth to meet the bridegroom. And five of them were foolish and five were prudent. For the foolish, when they took their lamps, did not take oil with them; but the prudent took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
13童女象征信徒生命的一面(林后十一2)。信徒是国度的子民,乃像贞洁的童女,在黑暗的世代里为主作见证(灯),并从世界走出去迎接主。为此,他们不仅需要圣灵的内住,也需要圣灵的充满。
13Virgins signify believers viewed from the aspect of life (2 Cor. 11:2). Believers, who are the kingdom people, are like chaste virgins. As virgins, they bear the Lord’s testimony (the lamp) in the dark age and are going out of the world to meet the Lord. For this they need not only the indwelling but also the filling of the Holy Spirit.
14作童女不是工作、服事或活动的事,乃是生命的事。此外,我们不仅是童女,还是贞洁、纯洁的童女。作童女不在于我们作什么或能作什么;作童女绝对在于我们的所是。……虽然我是个老人,行事为人却像童女。我绝不会出卖我童女的身分。甚至在仇敌面前,我也是童女(马太福音生命读经,八二五至八二六页)。
14Being a virgin is not a matter of work, service, or activity but a matter of life. Moreover, we are not only virgins but chaste, pure virgins. Being a virgin is not a matter of what we do or are able to do; it is absolutely a matter of what we are…Although I am an old man, I conduct myself like a virgin. I would never sell my status as a virgin. Even before the enemy, I am a virgin. (Life-study of Matthew, p. 712)

15〔在马太二十五章一节,〕灯象征信徒的灵(箴二十27),里面装着神的灵作油(罗八16)。信徒从他们的灵里,照耀出神的灵所发的光。因此,他们成了世上的光,如同灯照耀在这黑暗的世代里(太五14~16腓二15~16),为主作见证,使神得着荣耀。因此,我们作童女,不是拿着武器争战,或拿着运动器具游戏,乃是拿着灯作见证、发光并照亮。
15[In Matthew 25:1] lamps signify the spirit of the believers (Prov. 20:27), which contains the Spirit of God as the oil (Rom. 8:16). The believers shine forth the light of the Spirit of God from within their spirit. Thus, they become the light of the world and shine as a lamp in the darkness of this age (Matt. 5:14-16; Phil. 2:15-16), bearing the testimony of the Lord for the glorification of God. Thus, as virgins, we do not take weapons for fighting or sports equipment for playing but lamps for testifying, shining, and enlightening.
16马太二十五章二节说,“其中五个是愚拙的,五个是精明的。”五由四加一所组成,表征人(四所象征的)加上神(一所象征的),以承担责任。……所有的信徒要负责被圣灵充满。……愚拙的所以愚拙,是因为她们只有油在灯里,却没有额外的油在器皿里。除了重生的灵之外,她们没有充满的灵,额外的圣灵。
16Verse 2 of Matthew 25 says, “Five of them were foolish and five were prudent.” Five is composed of four plus one, signifying that man (signified by four) with God (signified by one) added to him bears responsibility…All believers bear the responsibility of being filled with the Holy Spirit. The foolish ones were foolish because they had oil only in the lamp but not the extra portion of oil in the vessel. In addition to the regenerating Spirit, they did not have the infilling Spirit, the extra portion of the Holy Spirit.
17人是为着神造的器皿(罗九2123~24),人的个格是在他的魂里。因此,马太二十五章四节里的“器皿”象征信徒的魂。五个精明的童女不仅在她们的灯里有油,也在器皿里带着油。灯里有油,表征她们有神的灵住在她们的灵里(罗八916);器皿里带着油,表征她们有神的灵充满、浸透她们的魂。
17Man is a vessel made for God (Rom. 9:21, 23-24), and man’s personality is in his soul. Hence, vessels [in Matthew 25:4] signifies the souls of the believers. The five prudent virgins not only have oil in their lamps but also take oil in their vessels. That they have oil in their lamps signifies that they have the Spirit of God dwelling in their spirit (Rom. 8:9, 16), and that they take oil in their vessels signifies that they have the Spirit of God filling and saturating their souls.
18我们对灯和器皿需要非常清楚。……在灯里有油,就是圣灵。新约启示,我们的灵乃是圣灵内住的所在。照着罗马九章,我们是神所造的器皿;我们的所是,我们的个格,在我们的魂里。因此,马太二十五章四节的器皿象征我们的魂。借着重生,我们有神的灵在我们的灵里。这使我们的灯发光。但问题是我们有没有额外的圣灵充满我们的魂。虽然我们灯里有油,但我们魂里需要额外的油。这表征那灵必须从我们灵里扩展到我们魂的每一部分。然后在我们的魂里,我们将有额外的圣灵。我们若有这额外的分,就是精明的;我们若没有,就是愚拙的。换句话说,我们若对圣灵的充满漠不关心,就是愚拙的。我们若有智慧,就会祷告说,“主,怜悯我。我不单要有你的灵在我的灵里,也要有你的灵在我的魂里。主,我需要那灵的充满,我需要额外的圣灵充满我的全人。”……为要儆醒预备,我们需要圣灵的充满,那灵自己从我们的灵扩展到我们里面的每一部分(马太福音生命读经,八二六至八二九页)。
18We need to be very clear about the lamps and the vessels …Within the lamp is the oil, the Holy Spirit. The New Testament reveals that our spirit is the place that the Holy Spirit indwells. According to Romans 9, we are vessels made by God. Our being, our personality, is in our soul. Therefore, the vessel in Matthew 25:4 signifies our soul. Through regeneration we have the Holy Spirit in our spirit. This causes our lamp to burn. But the question is whether or not we have the extra portion of the Holy Spirit filling our soul. Although we have the oil in our lamp, we need the extra portion of the oil in our soul. This signifies that the Spirit must spread from within our spirit to every part of our soul. Then in our soul we will have an extra amount of the Holy Spirit. If we have this extra portion, we are prudent. If we do not have it, we are foolish. In other words, if we are indifferent to the infilling of the Holy Spirit, we are foolish. If we are wise, we will pray, “Lord, have mercy on me. I want to have Your Spirit not only in my spirit but also in my soul. Lord, I need the infilling of the Spirit. I need the extra portion of the Holy Spirit to fill my entire being.”…In order to be watchful and ready, we need the infilling of the Holy Spirit, the spreading of the Spirit Himself from our spirit to every part of our inward being. (Life-study of Matthew, pp. 712-715)

今日要点
20主题:为着活在神国的实际里,而在生命上儆醒,成为精明的童女
20
21引经:太二五1~4
21
221.国度与在生命上儆醒有关:
22
23a.在太二五1~4说,『那时,诸天的国好比十个童女,拿着她们的灯,出去迎接新郎。其中五个是愚拙的,五个是精明的。愚拙的拿着她们的灯,却没有带着油;但精明的拿着她们的灯,又在器皿里带着油』,这指出,十个童女的比喻不仅与国度的实现有关,也说出今世信徒如何活在神国的实际里,好在来世带进国度的实现。
23
24b.这比喻中的童女象征信徒生命的一面,要在黑暗的世代里拿着灯,为主作见证,并从世界走出去迎接主来,这里的灯象征信徒的灵,里面装着神的灵作油,为要让神圣的光照进人内里的各部分,神的灵作为油,必须浸润、调和作为灯芯之人的灵,并与人的灵一同焚烧。
24
252.使器皿带着油,而在生命上儆醒:
25
26a.在第4节指出,精明的童女不仅拿着灯,又在器皿里带着油,人是为着神造的器皿,人的个格是在人的魂里,因此,这里的器皿,象征信徒的魂,这说出五个精明的童女不仅有神的灵住在她们灵里,更有神的灵充满、浸透她们的魂。
26
27b.从这段我们看见,国度的子民在灯里有油,就是有圣灵内住在人的灵里,二灵调和一起焚烧,不仅如此,还在器皿里有额外的油,来充满、浸透我们魂的每一部分,有没有这额外的一分,就说出是精明的,或是愚拙的,这也可以说出,今世活在神国实际的人,有额外的一分油,等候新郎,为着来世国度的实现。
27
28应用:作为童女,我们不是拿着武器征战,或拿着运动器具游戏,乃是拿着灯作见证、发光并照亮,为此我们需要借着个人每日的晨兴,以及每周的聚集,被圣灵所充满,祷告说,主,怜悯我,我需要额外的油充满我的全人,使我们能在工作、家庭中,为主发光照耀。
