纲目
14 我们不该因批评、审判、暴露,而虐待作我们同伴的信徒,乃该劝戒不守规矩的人,抚慰灰心、“小魂”的人,扶持在灵、魂、体方面软弱的人,或是在信心上软弱的人,又要对众人恒忍——太二四49帖前五14

9太二四48~49 若是那恶仆……动手打那些和他同作奴仆的,又和酒醉的人一同吃喝。
9Matt. 24:48-49 But if that evil slave…begins to beat his fellow slaves and eats and drinks with the drunken.
10二五18~19 但那领一他连得的,去掘开地,把他主人的银子埋藏了。过了许久,那些奴仆的主人竟然来和他们算账。
1025:18-19 But he who had received the one went off and dug in the earth and hid his master’s money. Now after a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them.
11我们众人都应该按时分粮给主的子民(太二四45),并且充分使用主的恩赐(二五2022)。……我们不该动手打那些和我们同作奴仆的人(二四49)。……我唯一的负担乃是释放信息。虽然我无意暴露任何人,许多人却借着我所释放信息里的光被暴露。那不是我的工作,乃是主的工作。……我们必须花费我们的时间……为着主的权益有积极的事奉(李常受文集一九八五年第五册,六六四至六六六页)。
11All of us should be those who are feeding the Lord’s people at the proper time (Matt. 24:45) and using the Lord’s talents in full (25:20, 22)…We should not be those beating our fellow slaves (24:49)…My only burden is to release messages. Although I have no intention of exposing anyone, many are exposed by the light in the messages I release. That is not my job but the Lord’s work …We must spend our time…to do a positive service for the Lord’s interest. (CWWL, 1985, vol. 5, “The Way to Practice the Lord’s Present Move,” pp. 539-540)

12再者,我们不该是那些“和酒醉的人一同吃喝”的人(太二四49)。这比动手打同作奴仆的人飘离得更远、堕落得更甚。……属世的人被属世的事物迷醉,甚至麻醉。他们被现今的世代所麻醉。与他们一同吃喝,就是享受他们所享受的。
12Furthermore, we should not be one who “eats and drinks with the drunken” (Matt. 24:49). This is to drift away further, a further fall from beating the fellow slaves …The worldly people are drunk and even drugged with worldly things. They are stupefied with the present age. To eat and drink with them is to enjoy what they enjoy.
13我们不该与酒醉的人一同吃喝,也不该掘开地,把主的银子埋藏了(二五18)。地乃是象征世界,所以掘开地是表征钻进世界。任何与世界的联合、牵连,甚至一点世俗的交谈,都会埋藏主所给我们的恩赐。
13We should not eat and drink with the drunken, nor should we dig in the earth and hide the Lord’s talent (25:18). The earth signifies the world, so to dig in the earth signifies getting into the world. Any association, any involvement, with the world, even a little worldly talk, will bury the Lord’s gift to us.
14我们要成为忠信的,路就是散布主的话,这话对每一个饥渴的人乃是食物。主的家业不仅由信徒组成,也由罪人组成。谁要去喂养饥渴的罪人?我们都必须说,“我去!”我们必须去。……我们必须尽所能地传布神的话。……许多基督徒几乎没有什么真理;他们有神的话,但他们不在意神的话,也不明白有多少丰富在其中。在这背道的时代,靠着主的怜悯,祂向我们打开祂的话。许多神圣的丰富都刊印出版了。……我们为什么不带着这些丰富出去?……这是喂养主子民的一条路。
14The way to be faithful is to scatter the Lord’s word, which is food to every hungry one. The Lord’s household is composed not only of believers but also of sinners. Who will go to feed the hungry, sinful people? We all have to say, “Me!” We have to go…We must do everything that we can to spread the Word of God. Many Christians are nearly void of the truth; they have the Word of God, but they do not care for it, nor do they realize how much is in it. In this age of apostasy the Lord, by His mercy, has opened up His Word to us. Many of the divine riches have been printed and published…Why do we not go out with these riches?…This is one of the ways to feed the Lord’s people.
15主把银子给了祂所有的奴仆。……每一个人都需要去作生意,作事业,为主的国度赚钱。我们要作这事,就必须按时喂养祂的子民。每一天都是指定的时候,都是用餐的时候。……各处都有人预备好要吃,所以我们需要充分使用主的银子。得到五他连得银子的奴仆另外赚取五他连得的利润,得到二他连得银子的奴仆另外赚取二他连得的利润。这指明他们完全使用主的银子,没有任何损失或浪费,所以他们得着同样的赏赐。
15The Lord has given talents to all His slaves …Everyone was required to trade, to do business, to make money for the Lord’s kingdom. In order to do this, we have to feed His people at the proper time. Every day is a proper time, a meal time…There is someone ready to eat everywhere, so we need to be those using the Lord’s talent in full. The five-talented slave made a profit of five talents, and the two-talented slave made a profit of two talents. This indicates that they used the Lord’s talent in full, without any loss or waste, so they both received the same reward.
16此外,我们必须靠着祂的怜悯,借着祂的恩典,尽所能不动手打同作奴仆的,就是同作信徒的。不要批评或埋怨他们;不要用消极的话说到他们,因为你没有时间这样作。你的口不是被造来批评的,乃是被造来说出基督的。批评弟兄们就是动手打同作奴仆的,这会使我们受惩治。我们也不该钻到世界里,与麻醉的属世之人一同享乐。我们必须是清明的人。我们不该掘开地,把我们的银子埋起来。我们应当有工作好赖以维生,但我们不该钻进去。我们与属世之人不同。我鼓励我所有的孙子尽所能地得着最高的教育,但我不同意他们任何人“钻进”他们的教育里,只是成为专家。我也鼓励召会中所有的青年人受最高的教育,但不要钻一个洞,把主给你的恩赐埋起来。我们都需要在对主的服事上忠信(李常受文集一九八五年第五册,六六六至六六七、六七一至六七四页)。
16Also, by His mercy and through His grace we must do the best not to beat the fellow slaves, the fellow believers. Do not criticize or murmur about them. Do not speak anything negative about them, because you do not have the time to do it. Your mouth was not made for criticizing but for speaking forth Christ. To criticize the brothers is to beat the fellow slaves. This will cause us to be punished. We should also not go into the world to enjoy ourselves with the stupefied, drugged, and worldly people. We have to be the sober ones. We should not dig into the earth to bury or hide our talent. We should have a job to maintain our living, but we should not dig into it. We are different from the worldly people. I encourage all my grandchildren to do their best to get the highest education, but I do not agree that any one of them would “dig into” their education just to become an expert. I also encouraged all the young people in the churches to get the highest education, but do not dig a hole that buries the talent the Lord gave you. We all need to be faithful in the Lord’s service.

17参读:实行主当前行动之路,第十章。

今日要点
18主题:不作又恶又懒的奴仆,反要常常竭力多作主工
18
201.不作动手人、与酒醉之人一同吃喝的恶仆:
20
21A.要成为忠信的奴仆,积极一面,要操练运用恩赐,随即作买卖,消极一面,不要成为恶仆,在太二四48~49说,『若是那恶仆...动手打那些和他同作奴仆的,又和酒醉的人一同吃喝』,恶仆有两大特征,第一,动手打同作奴仆的,第二,和酒醉的人一同吃喝;我们不该因批评、审判、暴露,而虐待作我们同伴的信徒,乃该劝戒不守规矩的人,抚慰灰心、「小魂」的人,扶持在灵、魂、体方面软弱的人,或是在信心上软弱的人,并对众人恒忍。
21
22B.我们也不该和那些酒醉的人一同吃喝,属世的人被属世的事物所迷醉、麻醉,与他们一同吃喝,就是享受他们所享受的,这样与世界牵连,不该是我们的工作,这使我们无法运用主所给的属灵恩赐,随即作买卖,而怠忽照管主的家业,这会导致我们在主回来时,无法得着国度的赏赐,要在黑暗里哀哭切齿。
22
232.不作掘开地埋藏恩赐的懒仆:
23
24a.要成为忠信的奴仆,积极一面,要操练运用恩赐,随即作买卖,消极一面,不要成为懒仆,与酒醉的人同吃喝的结果,就使我们成为太二五18~19所说的,『但那领一他连得的,去掘开地,把他主人的银子埋藏了。过了许久,那些奴仆的主人竟然来和他们算帐』,地乃是象征世界,掘开地表征钻进世界,埋藏主的恩赐,不去作买卖,这就使人成为又懒又恶的奴仆。
24
25B.主把银子给了祂所有的奴仆,每一个人都需要去作买卖,充分运用主所赐的银子,我们一面不该消极地掘开地,将恩赐埋藏,另一面,我们也不该凭着天然的生命和才干,主赐给我们的银子,事实上是主复活的生命,我们该凭这生命和大能来服事,借着运用主复活的大能,竭力多作主工,这样在主里的劳苦,绝不会突然,必定要完成神永远的定旨,把国度带回来。
25
26应用:世上仍有许多饥饿的罪人,需要我们按时分粮,为此我们需要留在维生的工作中,但不钻进去,而从与世界的联合、牵连中脱开,靠着主的恩典,成为供应主话的奴仆,带着丰富分赐给人。
