19西一13 祂拯救了我们脱离黑暗的权势,把我们迁入祂爱子的国里。
19Col. 1:13 Who delivered us out of the authority of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of His love.
20来二14 儿女既同有血肉之体,祂也照样亲自有分于血肉之体,为要借着死,废除那掌死权的,就是魔鬼。
20Heb. 2:14 Since therefore the children have shared in blood and flesh, He also Himself in like manner partook of the same, that through death He might destroy him who has the might of death, that is, the devil.
21黑暗的权势指撒但的权势。神是光,而撒但是黑暗。神拯救了我们脱离撒但黑暗的权势,进入神奇妙的光中。黑暗是作为死亡的撒但,但光是作为生命的神。蒙拯救脱离黑暗的权势,乃是蒙拯救脱离掌死权的魔鬼(来二14约十七15)。我们已经借着基督的死(西二14~15),并借着在复活里基督的生命(约五24),蒙了拯救脱离魔鬼撒但(新约总论第八册,三八至三九页)。
21The authority of darkness denotes the authority of Satan. God is light, and Satan is darkness. God has delivered us out of Satan’s authority of darkness into God’s marvelous light. Darkness is Satan as death, but light is God as life. To be delivered out of the authority of darkness is to be delivered from the devil, who has the might of death (Heb. 2:14; John 17:15). We have been delivered from the devil, Satan, by the death of Christ (Col. 2:14-15) and by the life of Christ in resurrection (John 5:24). (The Conclusion of the New Testament, pp. 2581-2582)

22我们不仅蒙了拯救脱离黑暗的权势,也迁入神爱子的国里。子的国乃是基督的权柄(启十一15十二10)。
22We have not only been delivered out of the authority of darkness but also transferred into the kingdom of the Son of God’s love. The kingdom of the Son is the authority of Christ (Rev. 11:15; 12:10).
23按照新约,神的儿子是神圣生命的彰显及其具体化身。这就是说,子的国乃是生命的范围。我们所迁入的国,是神爱子的国,这事实指明这生命的范围乃是在爱里,不是在惧怕里。今天我们……所在其中的国,乃是充满生命、光与爱的范围。
23According to the New Testament, the Son of God is the expression of the divine life and its embodiment. This means that the kingdom of the Son is a realm of life. The fact that the kingdom into which we have been transferred is the kingdom of the Son of God’s love indicates that this realm of life is in love, not in fear. The kingdom in which we find ourselves today is a realm full of life, light, and love.
24子是父这生命源头的彰显(约一418约壹一2)。父作生命的源头,彰显在子里。爱子是父爱的对象,在神圣的爱里带着在复活里的权柄,对我们作生命的具体化身。子作神圣生命的具体化身,是父爱的对象。具体化身在子里的神圣生命,在神圣的爱里赐给我们。因此,神圣之爱的对象,在神圣的爱里带着在复活里的权柄,对我们成为生命的具体化身。这就是父爱子的国。
24The Son of the Father is the expression of the Father as the source of life (John 1:18, 4; 1 John 1:2). The Father as the source of life is expressed in the Son. The Son of the Father’s love is the object of the Father’s love to be the embodiment of life to us in the divine love with the authority in resurrection. The Son, as the embodiment of the divine life, is the object of the Father’s love. The divine life embodied in the Son is given to us in the divine love. Therefore, the object of the divine love becomes to us the embodiment of life in the divine love with the authority in resurrection. This is the kingdom of the Son of His love.
25迁入父爱子的国里,乃是迁入那是我们生命的子里(约壹五12)。在复活里的子(彼前一3罗六4~5),现今是赐生命的灵(林前十五45下);祂在祂复活的生命里用爱来管理我们。这是父爱子的国。当我们在复活里,凭着子作我们的生命而活,我们就活在祂的国里,在父的爱里享受祂。
25To be transferred into the kingdom of the Son of the Father’s love is to be transferred into the Son who is life to us (1 John 5:12). The Son in resurrection (1 Pet. 1:3; Rom. 6:4-5) is now the life-giving Spirit (1 Cor. 15:45b). He rules us in His resurrection life with love. This is the kingdom of the Son of the Father’s love. When we live by the Son as our life in resurrection, we are living in His kingdom, enjoying Him in the Father’s love.
26我们已经迁入一个范围,在其中我们是在爱里并凭着生命受管理。在此,我们在属天的管理与约束之下,有在爱中、凭着生命并在亮光下的真正自由,正当的自由。这就是蒙拯救脱离黑暗的权势,并迁入父爱子之国里的意义。在这国里,我们享受基督,并过召会生活。
26We have been transferred into a realm where we are ruled in love with life. Here, under the heavenly ruling and restriction, we have genuine freedom, the proper freedom in love, with life, and under light. This is what it means to be delivered out of the authority of darkness and transferred into the kingdom of the Son of the Father’s love. Here in this kingdom we enjoy Christ and have the church life.
27“神的儿子”一辞,对父是何等悦耳。主耶稣受浸时,父宣告说,“这是我的爱子,我所喜悦的。”(太三17)主变化形像时,父作了同样的宣告(十七5)。因为父喜悦祂的儿子,父爱子的国就是喜乐的事,喜悦的事。因这缘故,父爱子的国仅仅包括三部分—召会生活的部分,在千年国时诸天之国的属天部分,以及新天新地同新耶路撒冷作召会与国度的完成。在这三部分的每一部分,神爱子的国都是喜悦的事。父借着祂的怜悯与恩典,将我们从撒但的黑暗,迁入国度这喜乐的部分(新约总论第八册,三九至四○页)。
27The words the Son of God are a delight to the Father’s ears. When the Lord Jesus was baptized, the Father declared, “This is My Son, the Beloved, in whom I have found My delight” (Matt. 3:17). When the Lord was transfigured, the Father made the same declaration (Matt. 17:5). Because the Father delights in His Son, the kingdom of the Son of the Father’s love is a pleasant thing, a matter of delight. This is the reason it comprises only three sections—the section of the church life, the section of the heavenly part of the kingdom of the heavens in the millennium, and the new heaven and the new earth with the New Jerusalem as the consummation of the church and the kingdom. In each of these three sections the kingdom of the Son of God’s love is a matter of delight. The Father, by His mercy and grace, has transferred us out of the darkness of Satan into this pleasant part of the kingdom. (The Conclusion of the New Testament, pp. 2582-2583)

今日要点
29主题:借着蒙拯救脱离撒但的权势,把我们迁入神爱子的国
29
30引经:西一13来二14
30
311.父已经拯救我们脱离撒但的权势:
31
32A. 西一13说,『祂拯救了我们脱离黑暗的权势,把我们迁入祂爱子的国里』,这里『黑暗的权势』一辞,原文有定冠词,直译为「那黑暗」的权势,这与前节的那光相对,神就是那光,撒但就是那黑暗,所以『黑暗的权势』就是指撒但的权势,就是那在诸天界里、在空中的邪恶权势。
32
33B. 我们蒙拯救脱离黑暗的权势,就是蒙拯救脱离那掌死权的魔鬼,来二14说,『儿女既同有血肉之体,祂也照样亲自有分于血肉之体,为要借着死,废除那掌死权的,就是魔鬼』,我们已经借着基督的死,并借着在复活里基督的生命,蒙拯救脱离魔鬼撒但。
33
342.认识父爱子的国之内在意义:
34
35A.我们不仅已经迁入祂爱子的国,我们更要活在祂爱子的国里; 『祂爱子的国』这词很有意义,说到国,神爱子的国乃是基督的权柄,说到子,神的儿子就是神圣生命的具体化身和彰显,因此,子的国乃是生命的范围,我们在复活里,凭着子作我们的生命而活,我们就活在祂的国里,在父的爱里享受祂。
35
36B. 说到爱,指出这国,这生命的范围是在爱里,爱里没有惧怕,诗歌157首第5节说,『借着生命和爱掌权,带着我们一同治理』,我们已经被迁入爱的范围里,也就是在这属天的管理和约束之下,虽有属天的「管理和约束」,却有在爱中、凭着生命、并在亮光之下的真正自由。
36
37应用:虽然越过召会生活,好像就越有一些约束,甚至觉得,怎么每天都有聚会,好像召会生活很忙碌,但事实上这是仇敌的攻击,在这范围里,我们是在爱里,并凭着生命受管理,这样的约束不是限制,不是外面的要求,而是保守我们,使我们不走岔,离开神爱子的国,反之,我们外面虽有一点不自由,但里面却是真自由了。
