纲目
1四 圣灵借着基督的信徒传扬基督，使基督得到繁殖、繁增并普及，这工作还没有完毕，还需要继续很长一段时间。
1
2五 神的话一直扩长，越发繁增，为着基督的扩增——六7，十二24，十九20：
2
31 行传六章七节的“扩长”指生命的长大，这指明神的话是生命的事，如同种子撒在人的心里而长大，为着基督在我们里面的扩增，就是神在我们里面的长大——可四14，西二19。
3
42 行传十二章二十四节的“繁增”指人数上基督的扩增；实际上，门徒的繁增在于话的扩长。
4
53 新的门徒“加添归主”，成为基督的各部分，就是基督的肢体——五14，十一24，罗十五16。
5
6六 这种使基督繁殖、繁增并普及的福音工作，乃是照着神新约的经纶，为神产生许多的儿子（八29），作基督的肢体，构成基督的身体（十二5），以完成神永远的计划，成全祂永远的旨意；这是接在使徒行传之后的二十一卷书信以及启示录所详尽启示的。
6
7七 既然神所要得着的是一个团体、发光的器皿，也就是见证的器皿，祂的儿女就必须被带到对基督身体的感觉里，并学习过身体生活；否则，他们在神手里就没有用处，就绝不能达成神的目标——罗十二1～5，林前十二12，启一10～12。

8罗十二5 我们这许多人，在基督里是一个身体，并且各个互相作肢体，也是如此。
8Rom. 12:5 So we who are many are one Body in Christ, and individually members one of another.
9林前十二12 就如身体是一个，却有许多肢体，而且身体上一切的肢体虽多，仍是一个身体，基督也是这样。
91 Cor. 12:12 For even as the body is one and has many members, yet all the members of the body, being many, are one body, so also is the Christ.
10弟兄姊妹，如果神给我们一点亮光，能看见一点神的事实，我们就必须承认，神今天所要求的器皿，就是祂在当初所定规的器皿，就是祂的召会。换句话说，今天神所要求的器皿，不是个人的器皿，而是团体的器皿。如果今天神所要得着的器皿是团体的器皿，你就要看见，若不是神的儿女被神带到一个地步看见什么是基督的身体，什么是身体的生命，在神手里就没有用处，就不能达到神的目的。
10Brothers and sisters, if God grants us light and if we see God’s truth, we will admit that God is after the same vessel today that He ordained at the beginning. This vessel is the church. In other words, God is not after an individual vessel today, but a corporate one. Since God is after a corporate vessel, His children must be brought to the awareness of the Body of Christ and the Body life. Otherwise, they are useless in His hand and can never fulfill His goal.
11召会如果只是金的而已，就并不能满足神的心。神为什么说召会是金的灯台呢？因为金灯台是发光的，是为着照亮的。神要召会作一个发光的器皿，见证的器皿。神在当初的时候，定规叫召会作灯台。不是某人，乃是召会，召会在神面前就是灯台。金的还不够，出乎神的还不够，必须为神发光，为神作见证，才是金灯台（倪柝声文集第二辑第十七册，一五九页）。
11If the churches are just golden, they cannot satisfy God. God says that the churches are golden lampstands because golden lampstands shine and enlighten. God desires the church to be a shining vessel, a vessel of testimony. From the beginning God has ordained that the church be a lampstand. The church, not individuals, is a lampstand before the Lord. It is not enough just to be golden, and it is not enough just to be of God. There must be the shining for God and the testimony for Him before the church can be considered the lampstand. (CWWN, vol. 37, p. 123)

12神所要的器皿是团体的，所以我们要学习活出身体的生命。要活出身体的生命，就必须拒绝天然的生命，必须在神面前深深受对付，受审判，学习顺服，学习交通，叫我们有机会作神的器皿（倪柝声文集第二辑第十七册，一六○页）。
12The vessel God is after is a corporate one. Therefore, we have to learn to live the Body life. In order to live the Body life, we have to deny the natural life and be judged and dealt with by God in a deep way. We must learn obedience, and we must also learn fellowship. (CWWN, vol. 37, p. 124)
13〔使徒行传〕没有结束，乃是敞口待加的。这必是因为圣灵借着基督的信徒，传扬基督，使基督得到繁殖、扩增并普及的工作，还没有完毕，还需要很长一大段时间的继续。这种使基督繁殖、扩增并普及的福音工作，乃是照着神新约的经纶，为神产生许多的儿子（罗八29），作基督的肢体，构成基督的身体（十二5），以完成神永远的计划，成全祂永远的旨意。这是〔使徒行传〕以后，二十一卷书信，和一卷启示录，所接着详尽启示的。基督这样的繁殖、扩增所产生的召会，乃是神在基督里得彰显并掌权的范围，所以就成为神的国。神的国乃是由神的生命，随着基督的繁殖、扩增而生长出来并普及的。使徒行传是基督的普及，也是神国的普及，因为神的国乃是基督的扩大。〔使徒行传〕内所广传的福音，是以基督为福音（五42），是基督的福音，也是以神的国为福音（八12），也是神国的福音。这福音的传扬，一直继续向前，直到全地都成了基督的国（启十一15）。
13[The book of Acts] was not actually ended; rather, it was left open that more may be added. The reason for this must have been that the work of the Holy Spirit in preaching Christ for His propagation, multiplication, and spread through the believers of Christ was not yet completed and needed to be continued for a long period of time. Such an evangelistic work for Christ’s propagation, multiplication, and spread is according to God’s New Testament economy for the producing of many sons for God (Rom. 8:29) that they might be the members of Christ to constitute His Body (12:5) for the carrying out of God’s eternal plan and the fulfillment of His eternal will. This is revealed in detail in the twenty-one Epistles and the book of Revelation, which follow this book. The church produced by Christ’s propagation and multiplication is the sphere in which God is expressed and in which He reigns in Christ; hence, the church becomes the kingdom of God. The kingdom of God, along with Christ’s propagation and multiplication, grows out of and spreads from God’s life. Acts is a record of the spreading of Christ; it is also a record of the kingdom of God, because the kingdom of God is the expansion of Christ. The gospel that is widely preached in this book is the very Christ as the gospel (5:42), the gospel of Christ, and it is also the kingdom of God as the gospel (8:12), the gospel of the kingdom of God. The preaching of such a gospel will continue and advance until the whole earth becomes the kingdom of Christ (Rev. 11:15).
14在四福音是神成为肉体、经过人生、死而复活，完成了基督，就是三一神的化身（西二9）。到使徒行传是神这化身成为赐生命的灵（林前十五45），将基督普及到信祂的人里面，也就是将经过种种过程的三一神，作到祂所拣选、救赎并变化的人里面，使神借着这些人所构成的召会得着彰显，其终极结果乃是要来在永世里的新耶路撒冷，作神完满并永远的彰显。那也将是神永远的国，作祂在永世里，在祂的神圣生命中，掌权的范围，直到永永远远。这该是今天一切福音传扬的实际和目标（圣经恢复本，徒二八31注2）。
14In the four Gospels God was incarnated, passed through human living, died, and resurrected, thus completing Christ, the embodiment of the Triune God (Col. 2:9). In Acts this embodiment of God, as the life-giving Spirit (1 Cor. 15:45), spreads Christ into His believers, i.e., works the processed Triune God into His chosen, redeemed, and transformed people to make them the constituents of the church, through which God may be expressed. The ultimate issue of the church will be the New Jerusalem in eternity future as God’s full and eternal expression, which will also be God’s eternal kingdom as the sphere in which He reigns in His divine life in eternity forever and ever. This should be the reality and goal of all gospel preaching today. (Lifestudy of Acts, 2nd ed., pp. 605-606)

今日要点
16主题：为着基督的继续，与神今日建造身体的工作合作
16
17引经：罗十二5，林前十二12
17
181.神要得着基督的身体，作为团体的器皿：
18
19A.罗十二5说，『我们这许多人，在基督里是一个身体，并且各个互相作肢体，也是如此』，林前十二12也说，『就如身体是一个，却有许多肢体，而且身体上一切的肢体虽多，仍是一个身体，基督也是这样』，今天基督徒的组织和团体很多，主也在全地兴起了几千处地方召会，但是基督的身体在哪里？
19
20b.这也就是倪柝声弟兄所说，今天神所要求，所要得着的乃是团体的器皿，神所要的器皿是团体的，所以我们要学习活出身体的生命，也就必须拒绝天然的生命，在神面前深深受对付，受审判，学习顺服，学习交通，使我们作神团体、发光、见证的器皿，好在神手中有用处，好能达到神的目标，这也就是神仍在作工的原因。
20
212.神的话继续扩长、繁增，为着基督的继续：
21
22A.使徒行传没有结束，乃是敞口待加的，这必是因为圣灵借着基督的信徒，传扬基督，使基督得到繁殖、扩增并普及的工作，还没有完毕，还需要很长一大段时间的继续，这种使基督繁殖、扩增并普及的福音工作，乃是照着神新约的经纶，为神产生许多的儿子，作基督的肢体，构成基督的身体，以完成神永远的计画，成全祂永远的旨意。
22
23B.因此，我们需要让神的话一直扩长，越发繁增，为着基督的扩增，在徒六7说到神的话扩长，这里强调生命的长大，指明神的话是生命的事，神的话要如同种子在我们心土里长大，为着基督在我们里面的扩增，就是神在我们里面的长大，而徒十二24的繁增，指人数上的繁增，徒五14说到门徒加添归主，指明门徒借着话的扩长，人数增加，成为基督的各部分，就是基督的肢体，作基督团体的继续。
23
24应用：我们不仅要被金所表征的神圣性情所浸透，更要借着过传扬福音的生活，而使召会这金灯台发光照亮，使基督得着繁殖和继续。
