8可四26 耶稣又说，神的国是这样，如同人把种子撒在地上。
8Mark 4:26 And He said, So is the kingdom of God: as if a man cast seed on the earth.
928~29 地生五谷，是出于自然的：先发苗，后长穗，再后穗上结成饱满的子粒。谷既熟了，他立刻用镰刀去割，因为收割的时候到了。
928-29 The earth bears fruit by itself: first a blade, then an ear, then full grain in the ear. But when the fruit is ripe, immediately he sends forth the sickle, because the harvest has come.
10实际上，神的国乃是神自己种到人里面，而在人里面发展成为国度。
10The kingdom of God is actually God Himself sown into human beings and developing in them into a kingdom.
11四福音里启示三一神成为肉体。至终这位神人出来，借着传扬与教训，将祂自己撒到神所拣选的人里面。当神所拣选的人听见并接受祂的话时，他们就接受了国度的种子，就是国度的基因。这种子、基因乃是成为肉体的神，也就是在人性里的三一神。在福音书里，我们看见国度种子的撒播。
11The four Gospels reveal the Triune God incarnated. This God-man eventually came forth to sow Himself into God’s chosen people by proclaiming and teaching. When those who had been chosen by God heard His word and received it, they received the seed, the gene, of the kingdom. This seed, this gene, is the incarnated God, the Triune God in humanity. In the Gospels we have the sowing of this seed of the kingdom.
12使徒行传里有几百个，甚至几千个撒种的人兴起来。所有这些撒种的人都是接受了种子、基因的人。他们接受种子，就成了一班也能把种子撒到别人里面的人。借此，撒种与种子都繁殖了（马可福音生命读经，一五四至一五五页）。
12In Acts hundreds and even thousands of sowers were raised up. All these sowers were those who received the seed, the gene. By receiving the seed they became those who could then sow it into others. In this way we have the propagation of the sowing and of the seed. (Life-study of Mark, pp. 129-131)

13我们在书信里看见国度种子（基因）的生长。我们特别在林前三章看见这生长。……我们在这一章里看见种子的生长与发展〔9下、6〕。……国度基因的进一步发展，可以在彼后一章看见。……〔在三节和五至七节〕有种子发展到成熟阶段的步骤。彼得指明，我们若有这种发展，“就必得着丰富充足的供应，以进入我们主和救主耶稣基督永远的国。”（11）
13In the Epistles we see the growing of the seed, the gene of the kingdom. We see this growth, in particular, in chapter 3 of 1 Corinthians…Here in this chapter we have the growth, the development, of the seed [vv. 9b, 6]. Further development of the kingdom gene is seen in chapter 1 of 2 Peter…[In 2 Peter 1:3 and 5-7] we have the steps of the development of the seed unto maturity. Peter indicates that if we have this development, “the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be richly and bountifully supplied” to us (v. 11).
14这种子的收成是在新约最后一卷书—启示录中。按照十四章，我们先有初熟的果子，然后有收成〔4、15〕。……十四章所说那些是初熟果子的人，要在千年国里与基督一同作王。千年国将是国度基因的完全发展。在这一千年间，许多接受国度基因的人要与基督一同作王。那时，我们的父可能向祂的仇敌夸口说，“小撒但，你在哪里？你在无底坑里。撒但，我要你看我的国度；我特别请你看所有现在与基督一同作王的人。许多信入我的儿子、接受国度基因的人，已经与祂一同作王。我的儿子是王，所有得胜的信徒也与祂一同作王。撒但，看看王与一同作王的人吧。这是何等奇妙的国度！”
14The harvest of this seed is found in the last book of the New Testament, the book of Revelation. According to Revelation 14, we first have the firstfruits and then the harvest [vv. 4, 15]. Those who are the firstfruits spoken of in Revelation 14 will be among those who will be co-kings with Christ in the millennium. The millennium, the thousand years, will be the full development of the gene of the kingdom. During the millennium many of those who have received the kingdom gene will be co-kings with Christ. At that time our Father might boast to His enemy, “Little Satan, where are you? You are in the abyss. I ask you, Satan, to look at My kingdom. I especially ask you to look at all of those who are now co-kings with Christ. Many who have believed in My Son and received the gene of the kingdom have become co-kings with Him. My Son is the King, and all the overcoming believers are His co-kings. Satan, look at the King and the co-kings. What a wonderful kingdom this is!”
15在千年国末了，撒但会被释放，并再次背叛〔参二十7~8〕。……虽然撒但要挑动列国背叛，却丝毫不能摸着与主同作王的人，因为他们已经被国度的基因变化了，他们堕落人性的背叛元素已经被国度的基因吞没了。因此，那恶者撒但不可能再挑动这班“有国度基因的人”来背叛神。
15At the end of the millennium, Satan will be released and allowed to rebel again [cf. Rev. 20:7-8]…Although Satan will instigate rebellion among the nations, he will not be able to touch the co-kings, for they will have been transformed by the kingdom gene. All the rebellious element that is in the fallen humanity of these co-kings will have been swallowed up by the kingdom gene. Therefore, it will be impossible for Satan, the evil one, to instigate the “kingdom-gene people” to rebel against God.
16在新天新地里，神要得着永远的国，以新耶路撒冷为京城。新耶路撒冷将由众王所组成，这些王要管治完全复兴的列国。这样，神就会有一个永远的国，是那在福音书中拿撒勒人耶稣（祂是在人性里的三一神）所撒之基因的完全发展。……在福音书里所撒的国度基因是何等的奇妙！至终，这基因要发展成为启示录二十章所说的千年国，与二十一、二十二章所说神永远的国。为着这幅国度基因及其发展的图画，赞美主！（马可福音生命读经，一五五至一五八页）。
16In the new heaven and the new earth God will have an eternal kingdom with the New Jerusalem as the capital. The New Jerusalem will be a composition of kings, and these kings will rule over the fully restored nations. Then God will have an eternal kingdom as the full development of the gene sown in the Gospels by Jesus the Nazarene, who was the Triune God in humanity. How wonderful is the kingdom gene that was sown in the Gospels! Eventually, this gene will develop into the millennial kingdom spoken of in Revelation 20 and into God’s eternal kingdom in Revelation 21 and 22. Praise the Lord for this picture of the kingdom gene and its development! (Life-study of Mark, pp. 131133)

今日要点
18主题：使神的国得着完满的发展，以成就神的目标
18
19引经：可四26，可四28~29
19
201.神的目标是要使神国得着完满的发展：
20
21A.神的目标是要使神的国得着完满的发展，首先，在福音书里有国度种子，也就是国度基因的撒播，正如可四26，『耶稣又说，神的国是这样，如同人把种子撒在地上』，28~29节主接着说，『地生五谷，是出于自然的；先发苗，后长穗，再后穗上结成饱满的子粒。谷既熟了，他立刻用镰刀去割，因为收割的时候到了』，这段经文说到撒播之后国度种子（基因）的发展，可见于福音书之后的所有书信。
21
22B.在使徒行传里，借著成千已经接受这国度种子（基因）的人作为撒种者，这撒播得以繁殖并开展，在书信里，我们看见国度种子（基因）的生长，使徒保罗在林前说到栽种、浇灌和生长，使徒彼得也在彼后说到国度基因进一步的发展，甚至可见其发展到成熟的具体步骤，借此发展，我们就必得着丰富充足的供应，以进入我们主和救主耶稣基督永远的国。
22
232.今世发展神国，好在来世并永世有最完满的发展：
23
24A.这种子的收成见于启示录，在其中有初熟果子和庄稼的收割，千年国将是这国度种子（基因）的完满发展，有子作王，以及所有的得胜者，就是有国度基因的人，与祂一同作王，千年国将是国度基因的完全发展，然而，在千年国末了，撒但会从无底坑里被释放，并再次背叛，虽然撒但要挑动列国背叛，却摸不着与主同王的人，因为他们已经被国度的基因所变化，堕落人性的背叛因子已经被国度基因吞没了。
24
25B.在新天新地，那时，神要得着永远的国，已新耶路撒冷城为京城，新耶路撒冷将由众王所组成，这些王要管治完全复兴的列国，新耶路撒冷作为神永远的国，乃是四卷福音书中拿撒勒人耶稣所撒之国度种子（基因）最完满的发展。
25
26应用：每天早晨，我们都要接受神的话，作为种子撒播到我们的心里，我们也该除去石头、荆棘，好成为好土，让这生命的种子得以发展，这样，我们就能抵挡撒但在我们生活、工作中一切的挑动，就能除去一切的背叛，而活在神国的实际里。
