纲目
2壹 羔羊无论往哪里去,我们都必须跟随祂(启十四4),将国度的福音传遍整个居人之地,使国度的种子(基因)得着繁殖与发展,以终结这个世代——太二四14可四26

3
41 在人性里的三一神(西二9)乃是神国的种子(基因),撒到神所拣选的人里面,使祂可以在他们里面生长,活在他们里面,并从他们里面彰显出来,而发展成为神掌权的范围(可四26~29林前三6~9)。

52 整本新约教训的内在元素,乃是三一神已经成为肉体,为要撒到祂所拣选的人里面,在他们里面发展成为国度。

6可一15 时期满了,神的国已经临近了。你们要悔改,相信福音。
6Mark 1:15 …The time is fulfilled and the kingdom of God has drawn near. Repent and believe in the gospel.
7四26 耶稣又说,神的国是这样,如同人把种子撒在地上。
74:26 And He said, So is the kingdom of God: as if a man cast seed on the earth.
8在马可四章有福音的种子,或者说有福音作种子。照三节来看,主教训的时候,就是在撒种。这撒种就是奴仆救主传扬神的福音,带进神的国(一14~15)。这与四章二十六节一样,乃是撒出奴仆救主所说之话中生命的种子,指明祂福音的服事,是要将神的生命撒在祂所服事的人里面。这生命的长大是按照受服事之人的光景;光景不同,结果就不同,就如这比喻所描绘的(1~20)。
8In Mark 4 we have the seed of the gospel, or the gospel as a seed. According to 4:3, as the Lord was teaching, He was sowing. This sowing was the Slave-Savior’s proclaiming of the gospel of God, which brought in the kingdom of God (1:14-15). It was, as in 4:26, the sowing of this seed of life in the word spoken by the Slave-Savior. This indicates that His gospel service was to sow the divine life into the people whom He served. The growth of this life depends on the condition of the ones served, and its issue differs according to their various conditions, as portrayed in the parable of the sower (vv. 1-20).
9主耶稣把种子撒到人心里。马可四章与马太十三章,把人的心比作土壤。我们的心是田地、土壤,主耶稣把祂自己当作生命的种子,就是福音的种子撒在其中。在撒种的比喻里,主耶稣是撒种的,也是撒出去的种子。主这位撒种者,把祂自己当作生命的种子,借着祂的话撒出去(马可福音生命读经,一四四至一四五页)。
9The Lord Jesus sowed the seed into the human heart. In Mark 4 and Matthew 13 the human heart is likened to soil. Our heart is the field, the soil, into which the Lord Jesus has sown Himself as the seed of life, which is the seed of the gospel. In the parable of the sower, the Lord Jesus is both the Sower and the seed sown. As the Sower, the Lord sows Himself as the seed of life through His word. (Life-study of Mark, p. 122)

10当主撒下神国的种子时,祂把自己撒到门徒里面。然后,这国度的种子三年半之久在门徒里面经过发展的过程。结果五旬节那天来到时,神的国就在门徒中间。从主来传福音到五旬节那天,还不到四年。那是一段撒在“土里”的种子生长的时间。这粒种子继续生长、发展,直到五旬节那天;那时国度很明显地与彼得和一百二十个人同在。
10When the Lord sowed the seed of the kingdom of God, He sowed Himself into His disciples. Then this seed of the kingdom passed through a process of development within the disciples for three and a half years. As a result, when the day of Pentecost came, the kingdom of God was present with the disciples. The time from the Lord’s coming forth to proclaim the gospel until the day of Pentecost was less than four years. That was a period of time for the seed sown into the “earth” to grow. The seed continued to grow and develop until the day of Pentecost, when the kingdom was clearly present with Peter and the one hundred twenty.
11神的国与人的国极其不同。人的国是组织的事;神的国不是组织的事,完全是生命的事。……神的国是什么?神的国实际上乃是神人耶稣基督,作为种子撒到相信祂的人里面。这种子撒到他们里面以后,就在他们里面生长,最后发展成为国度。……这个……国度……会使所有主的信徒都达到目标。……这个目标就是神的国得以完全发展。
11The kingdom of God is very different from the kingdom of man. The kingdom of man is a matter of organization. The kingdom of God is not a matter of organization; rather, the kingdom of God is absolutely a matter of life. What is the kingdom of God? The kingdom of God is actually the God-man, Jesus Christ, sown as a seed into His believers. After this seed has been sown into them, it will grow in them and eventually develop into a kingdom …This kingdom will bring us to the destination so that God’s goal may be reached …This goal is the full development of the kingdom of God.
12为要把这件事讲得清楚,我要借用“基因”这个生物学名词。那撒到我们里面,在人性里的三一神,乃是国度的基因。我们知道,若没有人的基因,就不可能有人的生命。我们的出生、生命、存留,都来自基因。现在我们必须看见,在人性里的三一神已经撒到我们里面,成了国度的基因。赞美主,这基因在我们里面!至终,这基因会产生国度。……首先,国度是福音的结果,然后是福音的目标;在结果与目标之间有召会。你知道召会是什么?召会乃是国度的基因所产生之结果的延续。
12In order to make this matter clear, I would like to borrow a term from biology. This term is the word gene. The Triune God in humanity sown into our being is the gene of the kingdom. We know that without human genes it is impossible to have human life. Our birth, our being, and our existence all came from a gene. Now we must see that the Triune God in humanity has been sown into us to be the gene of the kingdom. Praise the Lord that this gene is within us! Eventually, the kingdom will issue from this gene. First, the kingdom is the issue of the gospel, and then it is the goal of the gospel. Between the issue and the goal we have the church. Do you know what the church is? The church is the continuation of the issue of the gene of the kingdom.
13这位撒到我们里面的乃是国度的基因,就是在人性里的三一神。这奇妙的一位就是我们的神、主、救主、救赎主、主人与生命。……一天过一天,国度的种子在我们里面成长、发展。……也许我们许多事都忘记了,但我们应该牢记,这基因正在我们里面。在人性里的三一神作为生命的种子,已经撒到我们里面,要生长、发展并产生国度。这样,国度就是福音的结果,也是福音的目标。在结果与目标之间有召会生活,作我们里面奇妙基因之结果的延续(马可福音生命读经,一四五至一四六、一五○至一五二页)。
13The One who has been sown into us is the gene of the kingdom, the Triune God in humanity. This wonderful One is our God, Lord, Savior, Redeemer, Master, and life. Day by day the seed of the kingdom is growing and developing within us…We may forget many things, but we should all remember the gene that is within us. The Triune God in humanity has been sown into us as a seed of life to grow, develop, and issue in the kingdom. The kingdom, then, is the issue of the gospel and will be the goal of the gospel. Between the issue and goal we have the church life as the continuation of the issue of the marvelous gene that is within us. (Life-study of Mark, pp. 123124, 126-128)

今日要点
15主题:借着传扬国度的福音,撒播神国基因,好发展成为国度
15
16引经:可一15可四26,补可一14
16
171.主把自己这国度种子撒播,好发展神的国:
17
18A.在马可福音一开始,一14~15节就说到,『...耶稣来到加利利,传扬神的福音说,时期满了,神的国已经临近了。你们要悔改,相信福音』,这可说就是马可四章26,『...神的国是这样,如同人把种子撒在地上』,主在地上教训人悔改,就是撒种,这种子就是基督,也就是说,主把祂自己当作种子,撒播出去,为着带进神的国。
18
19B.根据马可福音,主自己这种子,带着祂的基因,也就是在人性里的三一神,要撒到神所拣选的人里面,使祂可以在他们里面生长,活在他们里面,并从他们里面彰显出来,而发展成为神掌权的范围,因此,要活在神国的实际里,好带进国度的实现,我们需要跟随羔羊,羔羊无论往哪里去,我们都必须跟随祂,将国度的福音传遍整个居人之地。
19
202.传扬国度福音,撒播国度基因:
20
21A.主耶稣把种子撒到人心里,马可四章把人的心比作土壤,我们的心是田地、土壤,主耶稣把祂自己当作生命的种子,就是福音的种子撒在其中,在撒种的比喻里,主耶稣是撒种者,也是被撒出去的种子,借着祂的话,撒在我们的心土里,这种子就要在人的心土里,经过一段发展的过程,经过三年半,到了五旬节那天,这国度就得着了发展。
21
22B.国度乃是福音的结果,借着传扬国度的福音,撒播带着三一神基因的种子,使这生命得以发芽、生长,而借着召会产生国度这结果,这样的发芽、生长、产生国度的过程,也就是这个基因所带来的结果,整本新约教训的内在元素,也就是三一神已经成为肉体,为要撒到祂所拣选的人里面,在他们里面发展成为国度。
22
23应用:人的国是借着组织,而神的国是借着生命,为此,我们在召会生活中过国度的生活,就需要回到生命,摸着生命,我们的传福音、牧养人、参加聚会,都不该是外面的要求,而该照着生命,我们的说话、行动和工作,也不该照着知识、善恶、或死亡,而该照着生命,这样,就会让这生命得以发展,而在召会生活中有国度实际的光景出现。
