纲目
1贰 属天的王差遣门徒带着祂的权柄,去使万民作祂的门徒,使他们成为国度的子民,好在这地上建立祂的国,就是今日的召会——太二八18~20罗十四17
1
2一 使万民作主的门徒,是要将他们浸入基督的死(六3~4)、基督自己(加三27)、三一神(太二八19)以及基督的身体里(林前十二13):
2
31 水,象征基督的死和埋葬,可以看作了结受浸者老旧历史的坟墓。
3
42 因为基督的死包含在基督里面,又因为基督是三一神的具体化身(西二9),并且三一神与基督的身体是一;所以,为初信的人施浸,乃是了结他们老旧的生命,并为着基督的身体,用新生命,就是三一神永远的生命,使他们有新生的起头;这乃是为着诸天的国,把人从自己的生命浸出来,而浸入基督身体的生命里。
4
5二 使万民作主的门徒,是要教导他们神圣奥秘范围里的神圣真理,使他们能照着那在耶稣身上是实际者而学基督——太二八20弗四20~21
5
61 我们正在从一个天然的人被训练成为一个神人,照着基督这第一个神人的模型,否认我们天然的生命,而活神圣的生命——太十一28~30
6
72 基督一切神圣奥秘的教训,不仅是祂向我们的揭示和光照,也是祂给我们的滋养,使我们在祂神圣的生命里得以长大成熟,好叫神永远的经纶能借着我们得以完成——弗四15~16

8太二八19~20 所以你们要去,使万民作我的门徒,将他们浸入父、子、圣灵的名里,凡我所吩咐你们的,无论是什么,都教训他们遵守;看哪,我天天与你们同在,直到这世代的终结。
8Matt. 28:19-20 Go therefore and disciple all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you all the days until the consummation of the age.
9使万民作主的门徒,就是使外邦人成为国度的子民,好在这地上,就在今天,建立祂的国,就是召会。……我们受主差遣,不仅要带人得救,也要使万民作主的门徒。这是国度的事。
9To disciple the nations is to cause the heathen to become the kingdom people for the establishing of His kingdom, which is the church, even today on this earth. We have been sent by the Lord not only to bring people to salvation but also to disciple the nations. This is a matter of the kingdom.
10在马太二十八章十九节,主说到将外邦人浸入父、子、圣灵的名里。施浸乃是带悔改的人脱离老旧的光景,进入新的境地;这是借着了结他们老旧的生命,并以基督的新生命重生他们,使他们成为国度的子民(马太福音生命读经,九一六页)。
10In Matthew 28:19 the Lord spoke of baptizing the nations into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Baptism brings the repentant people out of their old state into a new one by terminating their old life and germinating them with the new life of Christ, that they may become the kingdom people. (Life-study of Matthew, p. 787)

11施浸者约翰引荐的职事,开始于初步的水浸。如今,属天的王既已完成祂在地上的职事,经过死而复活的过程,并成了赐生命的灵,祂就吩咐门徒,将作祂门徒的人,浸入三一神里面。……主凭这浸吩咐门徒以后不久,就将他们和全召会都浸在圣灵里(林前十二13);犹太部分在五旬节那天(徒一5二4),外邦部分在哥尼流家里(十一15~17)。以后,基于这事实,门徒将新悔改的人(二38)不仅浸入水里,也浸入基督的死(罗六3~4)、基督自己(加三27)、三一神(太二八19)以及基督的身体里(林前十二13)。水,象征基督的死和埋葬,可以看作了结受浸者老旧历史的坟墓。因为基督的死包含在基督里面,又因为基督是三一神的具体化身(西二9),并且三一神最终与基督的身体是一;所以将初信的人浸入基督的死、基督自己、三一神并基督的身体里,乃是作一件事:在消极方面,了结他们老旧的生命;在积极方面,为着基督的身体,用新生命,就是三一神永远的生命重生他们。因此,这里主所命定的浸,乃是为着诸天的国,把人从自己的生命浸出来,而浸入基督身体的生命里(马太福音生命读经,九一六至九一七页)。
11John the Baptist’s recommending ministry began with the preliminary baptism, a baptism by water only. Now, after the heavenly King accomplished His ministry on earth, had passed through the process of death and resurrection, and became the life-giving Spirit, He charged His disciples to baptize the discipled people into the Triune God…Not long after the Lord charged the disciples with this baptism, He baptized them and the entire church in the Holy Spirit (1 Cor. 12:13), the Jewish part on the day of Pentecost (Acts 1:5; 2:4) and the Gentile part in the house of Cornelius (11:15-17). Then, based on this, the disciples baptized the new converts (2:38) not only into water but also into the death of Christ (Rom. 6:3-4), into Christ Himself (Gal. 3:27), into the Triune God (Matt. 28:19), and into the Body of Christ (1 Cor. 12:13). The water, signifying the death of Christ with His burial, may be considered a tomb in which the baptized ones’ old history is ended. Since the death of Christ is included in Christ, and since Christ is the very embodiment of the Triune God (Col. 2:9) and the Triune God eventually is one with the Body of Christ, to baptize new believers into the death of Christ, into Christ Himself, into the Triune God, and into the Body of Christ is to do just one thing: on the negative side, to terminate their old life, and on the positive side, to germinate them with new life, the eternal life of the Triune God, for the Body of Christ. Hence, the baptism ordained by the Lord here baptizes people out of their life into the Body life for the kingdom of the heavens. (Life-study of Matthew, pp. 787-788)
12我们正在从一个天然的人被训练成为一个神人,照着基督这第一个神人的模型,否认我们天然的生命,而活神圣的生命(太二八19)。……当我在帮助〔年轻人〕受训练时,我也天天在许多方面受训练,否认我天然的生命,而活神圣的生命。我们应当照着基督这第一个神人的模型,过这样的生活。当基督在地上时,祂否认祂天然的生命,就是祂自己。祂说,祂所说的,不是祂的话,乃是差祂来之父的话(约十四24)。祂绝不从自己作什么(五1930)。祂作每一件事都是从差祂来的父,也是凭差祂来的父作的。祂不是差遣者,祂乃是受差遣者。祂不是活祂自己;祂乃是活差祂来的父(六57上)。这就是第一个神人的模型。
12We are being discipled from being a natural man to being a God-man, living the divine life by denying our natural life according to the model of Christ as the first God-man (Matt. 28:19)…While I am helping [the young people] to be discipled, I am also being discipled day by day in many aspects to live the divine life by denying my natural life. We should live such a life according to the model of Christ as the first God-man. When Christ was on this earth, He denied His natural life, Himself. He said that whatever He spoke was not His word but the word of the Father who sent Him (John 14:24). He never did anything out of Himself (5:19, 30). He did everything out of and by the sending Father. He was not the Sender but the sent One. He did not live Himself; instead, He lived the Sender, the Father (6:57a). This is the model of the first God-man.
13我们的大牧人和保惠师这一切神圣奥秘的教训,不仅是祂向我们的揭示和光照,也是祂给我们的滋养,使我们在祂神圣的生命里得以长大成熟,好叫神永远的经纶能借着我们得以完成。……我们也需要把〔这些〕神圣的真理教导人(李常受文集一九九四至一九九七年第五册,一二一至一二二、一四八页)。
13[The] divine and mystical teachings of our great Shepherd and Comforter are not only His unveiling and enlightening but also His nourishing to us for our growth and maturity in His divine life that the eternal economy of God may be consummated through us…We should teach [these] divine truths. (CWWL, 1994-1997, vol. 5, “The Vital Groups,” pp. 88-89, 108-109)

今日要点
15主题:去使万民作主的门徒,在地上建立祂的国
15
16引经:太二八19~20
16
171.去使万民作主的门徒,在地上建立祂的国:
17
18A.要活在神国的实际里,好带进国度的实现,我们需要看见,属天的王差遣门徒带着祂的权柄,去使万民作祂的门徒,使他们成为国度的子民,好在这地上建立祂的国,就是今日的召会,太二八19说,『使万民作主的门徒,将他们浸入父、子、圣灵的名里』,使万民作主的门徒,直译为,门徒化万民,就是使外邦人成为国度的子民,好在地上,就在今天,建立祂的国度,就是召会。
18
19B.在这一节所说的浸,就是要带悔改的人脱离老旧的光景,进入新的境地,这是借着了结他们老旧的生命,并以基督的新生命重生他们,使他们成为国度的子民,此外,使人受浸的水象征基督的死和埋葬,因此使万民作主的门徒,就是使万民浸入基督的死里,并且基督的死包含在基督里面,基督又是三一神的具体化身,并且,三一神与基督的身体是一,所以,使万民作主的门徒,也就是浸入基督自己、三一神、以及基督的身体里。
19
202.借着教导真理门徒化万民,而活在神国的实际里:
20
21A.太二八20接着说,『凡我所吩咐你们的,无论是什么,都教训他们遵守;看哪,我天天与你们同在,直到这世代的终结』,从19~20节的上下文给我们看见,使万民作主的门徒,也就是将主所吩咐的,都教训他们遵守,因此,使万民作主的门徒,就是要教导他们神圣奥秘范围里的神圣真理,使他们能照着那在耶稣身上是实际者学基督。
21
22B. 借着学基督,我们正在从一个天然的人被训练成为一个神人,照着基督这第一个神人的模型,否认我们天然的生命,而活神圣的生命,这样,基督一切神圣奥秘的教训,对我们就不仅是知识和道理,而是向着我们的揭示与光照,更是给我们的滋养,使我们在祂神圣的生命里得以长大成熟,好使神永远的经纶能借着我们得以完成。
22
23应用:我们虽然在得救时已经受浸,但这浸不能只有外面的形式,每天更要活在这浸的实际里,而使我们学习不断地否认天然的生命,使魂生命不断被了结,国度的生命代之而起,好跟随主的榜样,照着那在耶稣里面的实际活基督,而过国度的生活。
