8彼前二21~23 你们蒙召原是为此,因基督也为你们受过苦,给你们留下榜样,叫你们跟随祂的脚踪行;祂没有犯过罪,口里也找不到诡诈;祂被骂不还口,受苦不说威吓的话,只将一切交给那按公义审判的。
81 Pet. 2:21-23 For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered on your behalf, leaving you a model so that you may follow in His steps; who committed no sin, nor was guile found in His mouth; who being reviled did not revile in return; suffering, He did not threaten but kept committing all to Him who judges righteously.
9〔彼前二章二十一节的〕“榜样”一辞已被一般的用法破坏。这辞原文的直译是,给学生临摹习字的字帖,范本。古时老师把字写在纸上作为范本。小孩子把另一张纸放在范本上,然后将范本上的字描到摹本上,以此来习字。……主耶稣已把祂的生活摆在我们面前,作我们临摹的范本,叫我们跟随祂的脚踪行(新约总论第三册,七七页)。
9The word model [in 1 Peter 2:21] has been spoiled by common usage. Literally, the Greek word means a writing-copy, an underwriting for students to use in tracing letters as they learn to draw them. In ancient times teachers would write letters on writing material, and those letters became a master copy. Another piece of writing material was put upon the master copy. Then the children would practice writing by tracing the letters from the master copy onto their copy…The Lord Jesus has set His life before us as an underwriting for us to copy by tracing and following His steps. (The Conclusion of the New Testament, pp. 600-601)

10然而,神的用意不是要我们试着靠自己的努力来效法祂。我们从经历中知道,努力效法基督是不灵的。我们不能效法祂。我们所需要的不是效法,乃是复制。……在外面,基督是我们的榜样;在里面,基督是我们的人位,活在我们里面,成形在我们里面,并安家在我们里面。借着这过程,我们成为原作的复制品,就是作我们榜样之基督的复制品。
10It is not God’s intention, however, that we try to imitate Christ by our own effort. We know from experience that trying to imitate Christ does not work. We are not able to imitate Him. What we need is not imitation, but reproduction…Outwardly Christ is our model, and inwardly He is our person, living in us, being formed in us, and making His home in us. Through this process we become a reproduction of the original, a reproduction of Christ as our model.
11我们需要经历那包含神圣生命之丰富的过程,借此成为基督的复制品,基督的摹本。完成这过程,我们就成为基督的复制品。当三一神从信徒里面彰显出来的时候,就指明这样的信徒成了基督这榜样的复制品。那彰显经过过程之三一神的生活方式,乃是基督的复制品。
11We need to become Christ’s reproduction, copies of Christ, by experiencing a process that involves the riches of the divine life. When this process is completed, we shall become a reproduction of Christ. When anyone observes the expression of the Triune God from within a believer, this indicates that such a believer has become a reproduction of Christ, the model. The manner of life that expresses the processed Triune God is a reproduction of Christ.
12作为信徒的榜样,基督乃是原版,用来制造祂自己的复制品。要领会基督是我们的榜样,我们需要经历。我们从经历中知道,我们天天享受基督的时候,就是在经过属灵复制的过程,使我们成为基督活的摹本。
12As a model to the believers, Christ is the original used for making a reproduction of Himself. In order to understand Christ as our model, we need experience. From experience we know that as we enjoy Christ day by day, we are undergoing the process of spiritual reproduction to make us living copies of Christ.
13成为基督的复制品与努力效法祂大不相同。举例来说,人可以向猴子示范直立,猴子就效法人站起来。人行走,猴子也效法他,用两脚行走。但仿效完毕后,人离开了,猴子就回去用四脚行走。至少在某种程度上,那些教导信徒效法基督的教师,就像人训练猴子效法人一样。这样努力效法基督根本不灵。所以,我不鼓励你效法基督,我只向你指出祂的丰富。我要向你指出,祂是活在我们里面、成形在我们里面并安家在我们里面的一位,使我们能经过过程,成为我们的榜样(基督)的复制品(新约总论第三册,七七至七八页)。
13To become the reproduction of Christ is very different from trying to imitate Him. To illustrate, a man may set an example for a monkey to stand upright, and the monkey stands up, imitating the man. Then the man walks, and the monkey imitates him by walking on two feet. But after the imitation is finished, the man leaves, and the monkey goes back to walking on all fours. At least to a certain extent, those teachers who instruct believers to imitate Christ are like a man training a monkey to imitate a human being. Trying to imitate Christ in such a way simply does not work. Therefore, I do not encourage you to imitate Christ. Instead, I would point you to His riches. I would point you to Him as the One living in us, being formed in us, and making His home in us so that we may undergo the process of becoming the reproduction of Christ as our model. (The Conclusion of the New Testament, pp. 601-602)
14我们读彼前二章十八至二十五节时,看见彼得在经历上非常丰富。在这段他说到恩典、范本、救主、牧人和监督。基督是我们里面的生命,祂也是给我们跟随的榜样。我们若凭着作我们里面生命的基督而活,就是凭着内住的基督自己而活,我们就会经历属灵影印的过程,成为基督的复制品。同时,我们会经历祂作拯救我们的救主,作带领并引导我们的牧人,并作照顾我们的监督。哦,彼得的经历是丰富的,他的写作是美妙的!愿我们都照着这些经文里所启示的,操练享受基督。愿我们都享受祂作恩典,作榜样,并作美妙的救主、牧人和监督(彼得前书生命读经,二三一至二三二页)。
14As we read 1 Peter 2:18-25, we see that Peter was very rich in experience. In this portion he speaks of grace, the writing copy, the Savior, the Shepherd, and the Overseer. Christ is the life within us, and He is also the model for us to follow. If we live by Christ as our inward life, that is, by the indwelling Christ Himself, we will undergo the process of spiritual xeroxing to become a reproduction of Christ. At the same time, we will experience Him as the Savior saving us, as the Shepherd leading and guiding us, and as the Overseer caring for us…May we all practice to enjoy Christ according to what is revealed in these verses. May we all enjoy Him as grace, as the model, and as the wonderful Savior, Shepherd, and Overseer. (Life-study of 1 Peter, p. 194)

今日要点
16主题:成为基督的复制品,跟随主的脚踪行
16
171.成为基督的复制品,跟随主的脚踪行:
17
18a.我们这些在基督里的信徒,得以成为作我们榜样之基督的复制品,在彼前二21~23说,『你们蒙召原是为此,因基督也为你们受过苦,给你们留下榜样,叫你们跟随祂的脚踪行;祂没有犯过罪,口里也找不到诡诈;祂被骂不还口,受苦不说威吓的话,只将一切交给那按公义审判的』;主耶稣在神行政之下的生活乃是榜样,叫我们跟随祂的脚踪,借此成为祂的复制品。
18
19b.21节的「榜样」一词,已经被一般的用法破坏了,原文的直译是指一种教写字所用的范本,给学生临摹习字的字帖,范本,古时老师把字写在纸上作范本,小孩子把另一张纸放在范本上,然后将范本上的字描到摹本上,以此来学习写字,这范本就是主耶稣的生活,主耶稣已经把祂的生活摆在我们面前,作我们临摹的范本,叫我们跟随祂的脚踪行。
19
202.不是效法,而是复制:
20
21A.然而,许多人认为,跟随主的脚踪行,就是外面的模仿、效法,好像主背十字架走到各各他,有人就外面的仿效,这不是彼得的意思,跟随主的脚踪行,也不是凭我们自己的努力效法基督,而是复制,复制的过程是一件生命的事,我们需要借着与神圣生命之丰富有关的过程,而成为基督的复制品,基督的摹本。
21
22B.我们的效法基督,不是猴子学人走路的那种效法,效法完了,猴子就恢复用四只脚行走,我们需要看见,基督在我们里面,祂能使我们经历祂的丰富,而成为祂的复制品,这就像是一台属灵影印机复印的过程,我们需要借着曝光的过程观看祂,好使碳粉能够转印到纸上,也就是使圣灵能够印涂到我们里面,这样,我们就会成为基督的复制品。
22
23应用:我们不要外面效法基督的忍耐,凭着自己有限度的忍耐,倪柝声弟兄说,忍耐就是基督,因此我们需要享受基督的丰富,让祂作我们的忍耐,而使我们活出祂的忍耐来,其他诸如喜乐、卑微等,都是如此,这样,我们就能成为祂的复制。
