纲目

1贰神的目标是要得着用活石所建造之属灵的殿——彼前二5：

2一作为我们的生命，基督是不能坏的种子；为着神的建造，祂是活石——一23，二4。

3二彼得在悔改信主时，主给他取了一个新名，就是彼得——石头（约一42）；当他得着关于基督的启示之后，主进一步启示祂是磐石——石头（太十六18）；这两件事给彼得深刻的印象，就是基督和祂的信徒都是为着神的建造的活石（彼前二4～8，徒四11，赛二八16，亚四7）。

4三我们这些在基督里的信徒，借着重生和变化，已成为活石，作基督的复制；我们原是用泥土造的（罗九21），但在重生时，得着了神圣生命的种子，而这种子在我们里面长大，就把我们变化为活石（彼前二5）。

5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。

51 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.

6活石不仅有生命，也能在生命里长大。这活石就是为着神的建造的基督。〔在彼前二章四至五节，〕彼得将他的隐喻，由植物生命的种子（一23~24）转换为矿物的石头。种子是为着生命的栽种；石头是为着建造（二5）。……为着作我们的生命，基督是种子；为着神的建造，祂是石头。我们接受祂作生命的种子后，就需要长大，好经历祂作活在我们里面的石头。这样，祂也要把我们作成因祂石头性情而变化的活石，在祂这根基和房角石（赛二八16）上，与别人同被建造，成为属灵的殿（圣经恢复本，彼前二4注2）。

6A living stone is one that not only possesses life but also grows in life. This is Christ for God’s building. [In 1 Peter 2:4-5] Peter changed his metaphor from a seed, which is of the vegetable life (1:23-24), to a stone, which is of the minerals. The seed is for life-planting; the stone is for building (2:5)…As life to us, Christ is the seed; for God’s building, He is the stone. After receiving Him as the seed of life, we need to grow that we may experience Him as the stone living in us. Thus He will make us also living stones, transformed with His stone nature, that we may be built together with others as a spiritual house upon Him as both the foundation and the cornerstone (Isa. 28:16). (1 Pet. 2:4, footnote 1)

7我们这些在基督里的信徒，借着重生和变化，成了活石，像基督一样。我们原是用泥土造的（罗九21），但在重生时，得着了神圣生命的种子，这种子在我们里面长大，就把我们变化为活石。彼得在悔改信主时，主给他取了一个新名，就是彼得—石头（约一42）；当他得着关于基督的启示之后，主进一步启示祂也是磐石—石头（太十六16~18）。……基督和祂的信徒都是为着神的建造的石头。

7We, the believers in Christ, are living stones, like Christ, through regeneration and transformation. We were created of clay (Rom. 9:21). But at regeneration we received the seed of the divine life, which by its growing in us, transforms us into living stones. At Peter’s conversion the Lord gave him a new name, Peter—a stone (John 1:42). When Peter received the revelation concerning Christ, the Lord revealed further that He also was the rock—a stone (Matt. 16:16-18)…Both Christ and His believers are stones for God’s building.

8凭着我们天然的出生，我们是泥土，不是石头。……人是用地上的尘土造的〔创二7〕。罗马九章启示，我们是土造的器皿。那么，我们如何能成为石头？我们乃是借着变化的过程而成为石头。

8By our natural birth we are clay, not stones…Man was made from the dust of the ground [Gen. 2:7]. Romans 9 reveals that we are vessels of clay. How, then, can we become stones? We become stones through the process of transformation.

9彼得首次遇见主耶稣时，主将他的名字从西门改为彼得。约翰一章四十二节……说，“耶稣看着他说，你是约翰的儿子西门，你要称为矶法（矶法翻出来，就是彼得）。”彼得的意思是“石头”。……主称彼得为石头，那就是说，他必会成为石头。无论主对我们说什么，都必成就。祂若说，“你是金子”，你就会成为金子。主知道祂将西门的名字改为彼得（即石头），他就会成为石头。

9When Peter first met the Lord Jesus, the Lord changed his name from Simon to Peter…John 1:42 says, “Looking at him, Jesus said, You are Simon, the son of John; you shall be called Cephas (which is interpreted, Peter).”Peter means “a stone.”…When the Lord called him Peter, a stone, that meant that he would certainly become a stone. Whatever the Lord says to us will be fulfilled. If He says, “You are gold,” then you will be golden. The Lord knew that when He changed Simon’s name to Peter, a stone, he would become a stone.

10在约翰一章四十二节，主告诉彼得他是石头。后来在该撒利亚腓立比，主问：“你们说我是谁？”彼得从父得着启示，回答说，“你是基督，是活神的儿子。”对此主耶稣回答说，“我还告诉你，你是彼得，我要把我的召会建造在这磐石上……。”（太十六18）这里主指明祂是召会在其上建造的磐石，而彼得是石头。

10In John 1:42 Peter was told that he was a stone. Then sometime later, in Caesarea Philippi, in answer to the Lord’s question, “Who do you say that I am?” Peter, receiving the revelation from the Father, said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” To this the Lord Jesus replied, “And I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church” (Matt. 16:18). Here the Lord indicated that He is the rock upon which the church is built and that Peter is a stone.

11毫无疑问，这两件事，记载在约翰一章的一件，和记载在马太十六章的另一件，深深印在彼得里面。他绝不能忘记那些事。彼得必是从这些经历，得着活石为着建造属灵的殿（就是召会）的观念。彼得写彼得前书这一段，是照着这些事给他的印象而写的。

11No doubt, these two incidents, the one recorded in John 1 and the other in Matthew 16, were deeply impressed into Peter’s being. He could never forget those events. It must have been from these experiences that Peter obtained the concept of living stones for the building of the spiritual house, which is the church. When Peter wrote this portion of 1 Peter, he wrote it according to the impression these events made upon him.

12彼前二章五节说，我们像活石，被建造成为属灵的殿。然而，我们都是泥土，我们如何能被建造？要被建造成为属灵的殿，我们需要成为石头。但我们如何能真正成为活石？我们乃是借着来到基督这活石跟前（4），而成为活石。……我们可用木化石作变化的例证。……水长期流过并流经木头。借着这水流，木头的本质就变成石头。一面，木头的元素被带走；另一面，石头的元素被带进来顶替木头的元素。这样，木头就成为石头（彼得前书生命读经，一八○至一八一页）。

12First Peter 2:5 says that we, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house. However, we all are clay. How can we be built up? In order to be built up as a spiritual house, we need to become stones. But how can we actually become living stones? We become living stones by coming to Christ as the living stone (v. 4). We may use petrified wood as an illustration of transformation… Over a long period of time, water has been flowing over wood and through it. By means of this flow of water, the substance of the wood is changed into stone. On the one hand, the element of wood is carried away; on the other hand, the element of stone is brought in to replace the element of wood. In this way the wood becomes stone. (Life-study of 1 Peter, pp. 151-152)

今日要点

14主题：神的目标乃是得着用活石所建造之属灵的殿

151.神的目标乃是得着用活石所建造之属灵的殿：

16A.彼得书信中所启示生命与建造，最清晰的一段，就是彼前二2~5，先说到要像婴孩切慕生命的话奶而长大，后面说到我们像活石，被建造成为属灵的殿，彼前二4~5说，『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』。

17B.彼得在悔改信主时，主给他起了一个新名，就是彼得，彼得就是石头，当他得着关于基督的启示之后，主进一步启示，主自己是磐石－石头，这两件事给彼得深刻的印象，就是基督和祂的信徒都是为着神建造的活石，基督是石头，我们也要变化成为石头，在祂这根基和房角石上，与别人同被建造，成为属灵的殿。

182.生命长大，带进变化，达于建造：

19A.要经历生命变化，带进建造，就着主一面，祂已经经过过程，成为可撒在我们里面的种子，问题在我们一面，我们这些在基督里的信徒，借着重生和变化，已成为活石，作基督的复制，我们原先是用泥土造的，但在重生时，得着了神圣生命的种子，而这种子在我们里面长大，就把我们变化成为活石。

20B.我们如何真正变成活石呢？彼得告诉我们，乃是借着来到基督这活石跟前，而像活石，成为活石，木化石的产生，乃是借着水流流经木头，使木头的元素被水流带走，而水中丰富的矿物质顶替了木头的元素，木质纤维就被矽质矿物所取代，而形成木化石，我们经历生命的长大，带进变化，就使我们这些土造的人，成为活石。

21应用：借着每天早晨分别时间有个人亲近主的时间，祷读主话，像切牛排一样一点一点的咀嚼、化开，而使话发出亮光，并且运用心思的悟性定住这光，而被这光所暴露我们的罪和短缺，并被这光所医治，珍赏包罗万有的基督顶替我们的一切，而使我们经历新陈代谢变化的工作。
