纲目
1贰 虽然彼得前后书的主题是神的行政,但这不是这两卷书信的中心焦点和基本结构;凡与神行政有关的事,都应当带我们回到这两卷书信的中心焦点和基本结构,就是三一神作我们完满的享受,以完成神的经纶:
1
2一 彼得前后书的中心焦点和基本结构,乃是奋力活动的三一神在祂的经纶里作工,要把祂所拣选的人带进对三一神完满的享受里;我们人的灵作为心中隐藏的人,以及神的灵作荣耀的灵和基督的灵,乃是我们在神圣性情里有分于神作我们之 分的凭借——彼前一2~3511二1~359三4四14五10彼后一4
2
3二 彼得前后书的中心焦点和基本结构,乃是三一神在作工,要完成祂完整的救恩,使我们得重生、从祂的话得喂养、长大、被变化并被建造,而使祂得着一个居所,并使我们被荣化,以彰显祂——彼前一23二1~59

4彼前二4~5 你们来到祂这为人所弃绝,却为神所拣选所宝贵的活石跟前,也就像活石,被建造成为属灵的殿,成为圣别的祭司体系,借着耶稣基督献上神所悦纳的属灵祭物。
41 Pet. 2:4-5 Coming to Him, a living stone, rejected by men but with God chosen and precious, you yourselves also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house into a holy priesthood to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
5虽然彼得前后书的主题是神的行政,特别是祂在审判上所显示的行政,但这不是这两卷书的中心焦点。神圣的行政也不是彼得书信的基本结构。这些书信的中心焦点是什么?基本结构是什么?……实际上,彼得前书只有一章半在生命上是要紧的〔一1~二10〕。……此外,我们也需要把彼得在五章十节的话看为重要的。彼得在这一节说,“但那全般恩典的神,就是那曾在基督耶稣里召你们进入祂永远荣耀的,等你们暂受苦难之后,必要亲自成全你们,坚固你们,加强你们,给你们立定根基。”……在彼得后书里,一章上半和末了一章最后一节在生命上是要紧的。在彼得前后书这些要紧的部分里,有这些书信的中心焦点(犹大书生命读经,四七至四八页)。
5Although the subject of 1 and 2 Peter is God’s government, especially His government shown in His judgment, this is not the central focus of these books. Neither is the divine government the basic structure of the Epistles of Peter. What is the focus of these Epistles? What is their basic structure? In 1 Peter actually only one and a half chapters are crucial in relation to life [1:1—2:11]… In addition, we need to regard Peter’s word in 5:10 as crucial. In this verse Peter says, “The God of all grace, He who has called you into His eternal glory in Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little while, will Himself perfect, establish, strengthen, and ground you.”…In [2 Peter] the first half of the first chapter and the last verse of the last chapter are crucial in relation to life. In these vital portions of 1 and 2 Peter we have the central focus of these Epistles. (Life-study of Jude, p. 38)

Today’s Reading
6在彼前一章,我们看见三一神为着祂完全的救恩而有的工作。在二节我们看见父神的先见、那灵的圣别以及耶稣基督的洒血。这节启示父的先见、子的救赎和那灵的实施。这就是三一神的工作,为要成功神完全的救恩。在三节彼得说,父重生了我们,使我们有活的盼望。神完全的救恩由三种元素构成:父的重生、子的救赎和那灵的实施。我们经历这救恩的时候,就有一种以圣别和爱为特征的生活。我们的生活方式是圣别的,并且我们爱弟兄。所以,圣别和爱乃是神完全救恩的结果。不仅如此,这救恩里还有不能坏的种子,就是神活而常存的话。这就是彼前一章的简单概要。
6In chapter 1 of 1 Peter we see the operation of the Triune God for His full salvation. In verse 2 we see the foreknowledge of God the Father, the sanctification of the Spirit, and the sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ. This verse reveals the Father’s foreknowledge, the Son’s redemption, and the Spirit’s application. This is the operation of the Triune God to carry out God’s full salvation. In verse 3 Peter says that the Father has regenerated us unto a living hope. The full salvation of God is composed of three elements: the Father’s regeneration, the Son’s redemption, and the Spirit’s application. When we experience this salvation, we have a life that is characterized by holiness and love. We are holy in our manner of life, and we love the brothers. Therefore, holiness and love are the issue of God’s full salvation. Furthermore, in this salvation there is a seed, the incorruptible seed, which is the living and abiding word of God. This is a simple sketch of chapter 1 of 1 Peter.
7现在,我们继续看彼前二章一至十一节。我们既蒙了重生,如今就是才生的婴孩,切慕那纯净的话奶,叫我们靠此长大,以致得救(2)。我们在一章看见,我们蒙了重生,并且神完全的救恩乃是我们的分。如今我们需要有分于并享受这救恩。为此,我们需要从话奶得喂养。
7Let us now go on to consider 1 Peter 2:1-11. Having been regenerated, we are now newborn babes longing for the guileless milk of the word in order that by it we may grow unto salvation (v. 2). In chapter 1 we see that we have been regenerated and that the full salvation of God is our portion. Now we need to partake of and enjoy this salvation. For this, we need to feed on the milk of the word.
8借着从纯净的话奶得喂养并且长大以致得救,我们就会变化成为宝石。所以,彼得说到信徒是活石(二5)。这些石头乃是为着建造属灵的殿,这殿就是圣别的祭司体系:“〔你们〕也就像活石,被建造成为属灵的殿,成为圣别的祭司体系,借着耶稣基督献上神所悦纳的属灵祭物。”(5)一面,属灵的殿就是神的居所;另一面,这殿宣扬神的美德,彰显神的所是。
8By feeding on the guileless milk of the word and by growing unto salvation, we will be transformed into precious stones. Therefore, Peter refers to the believers as living stones (v. 5). These stones are for the building up of a spiritual house, and this house is a holy priesthood: “You yourselves also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house into a holy priesthood to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ” (v. 5). On the one hand, this spiritual house is God’s dwelling place; on the other hand, it is something that tells forth the virtues of God, that expresses what God is.
9这属灵的殿当然是团体的。我们以团体的方式建造在一起,为要给神一个居所,并宣扬神的美德,就是彰显祂。
9This spiritual house, of course, is a corporate matter. We are being built up together in a corporate way to afford God a dwelling place and to tell out God’s virtues, that is, to express Him.
10在彼得前书〔一章和二章一至十一节〕这两段里,包括五章十节在内,有这卷书的中心焦点。我们需要完全被这中心抓住。这样,当我们留意这卷书的其他事情时,就没有从这中心岔开的危机。
10In these two portions of 1 Peter, including 5:10, we have the central focus of this book. We need to be fully captured by this focus. Then we will not be in danger of being distracted from this focus as we pay attention to the other matters in this book.
11我们可以将彼得前书的中心焦点比作人体内的心脏。我们不该不惜损坏心脏来照顾身体其他的肢体。我们可以失去一个脚趾、一个手臂或一条腿,而仍然活着。但我们没有心脏,就活不成了。照样,我们需要顾到彼得前书的“心脏”,中心焦点(犹大书生命读经,四八至五○页)。
11We may compare the central focus of 1 Peter to the heart in the human body. We should not take care of the other members of the body at the cost of damaging our heart. We may lose a toe, an arm, or a leg and still live. But we cannot live without a heart. In a similar way, we need to care for the “heart,” the central focus, of 1 Peter. (Life-study of Jude, pp. 38-40)

今日要点
13主题:彼得书信的中心焦点与基本结构
13
141.彼得书信的中心焦点与基本结构:
14
15a.虽然彼得前后书的主题是神的行政,但这不是这两卷书信的中心焦点和基本结构;凡与神行政有关的事,都应当带我们回到这两卷书信的中心焦点和基本结构,就是三一神作我们完满的享受,以完成神的经纶,彼得前书的中心焦点和基本结构,可以比作人体内的心脏,我们不该不惜损坏心脏来照顾身体其他的肢体,我们可以失去一个脚趾、手臂或腿,而仍然活着,但没有心脏,就活不成了。
15
16B.在彼前一章,我们看见三一神为着祂完全的救恩而有的工作,那里有父神的先见、那灵的圣别、以及耶稣基督的洒血,这就是三一神的工作,为要成功神完全的救恩,当我们经历这救恩,经历那不能坏的种子,就是神活而常存的话,就有一种以圣别和爱为特征的生活,经历神完全救恩的结果,就是圣别和爱。
16
172.三一神作我们完满的享受,以完成神的经纶:
17
18A.在彼前二章,我们既蒙了重生,如今就是才生的婴孩,切慕那纯净的话奶,叫我们靠此长大,以致得救,我们要从重生往前,有分并享受这完全的救恩,就需要从话奶得餧养,而使我们在个人一面长大以致成熟,并在团体一面,经历彼前二4~5,『你们来到祂这为人所弃绝,却为神所拣选所宝贵的活石跟前,也就像活石,被建造成为属灵的殿,成为圣别的祭司体系,借着耶稣基督献上神所悦纳的属灵祭物』。
18
19B.变化成为活石,乃是为着建造属灵的殿,一面,属灵的殿就是神的居所,另一面,这殿要宣扬神的美德,彰显神的所是,因此,在彼前一章、二章这两段里,说到这卷书的中心焦点,一面,我们在神行政的审判之下,另一面,这行政审判的目的,乃是要使我们回到中心焦点和基本结构,也就是三一神要作我们完满的享受,以完成神的经纶。
19
20应用:我们每天借着享受并祷读主话,享受里面生命的救恩,使我们被圣别,不仅从一切凡俗事物中分别,更被神圣别的性情所浸透,且能活出爱的生活,因着爱而爱弟兄,借着传福音牧养人,而爱那些我们所爱不来的人,使我们能够在配搭中宣扬神的美德,彰显神的所是。
