纲目

1十三保罗第四次尽职的行程（徒二七～二八）特别给我们看见他的生活——他活基督，显大基督，在基督里作一切事，并竭力追求基督，好给人看出他是在基督里（腓一19～21上，三8～9、14，四13）：

21 在使徒漫长、不幸且受监禁的航程中，主保守使徒在祂的超越里，使他能活出一种生活，远超忧虑的境域；这种生活是全然尊贵，有人性美德的最高标准，彰显最高超的神圣属性——徒二八5～9。

32 这是耶稣在祂被神性所丰富的人性里，再次活在地上！这是从前活在福音书里那奇妙、超绝、奥秘的神人，借着祂许多肢体中的一个，在使徒行传里继续活着！这是成为肉体、钉死十架、复活、被神高举之基督的活见证人！

4肆召会的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；这该是今天我们跟随使徒保罗的榜样——“全然放胆宣扬神的国，并教导主耶稣基督的事，毫无阻碍”——一切福音传扬的实际和目标——二八31。

5腓一19～21 因为我知道，这事借着你们的祈求，和耶稣基督之灵全备的供应，终必叫我得救。这是照着我所专切期待并盼望的，就是没有一事会叫我羞愧，只要凡事放胆，无论是生，是死，总叫基督在我身体上，现今也照常显大，因为在我，活着就是基督，死了就有益处。

5Phil. 1:19-21 For I know that for me this will turn out to salvation through your petition and the bountiful supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, according to my earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I will be put to shame, but with all boldness, as always, even now Christ will be magnified in my body, whether through life or through death. For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.

6保罗在他书信里所记载的教训中，强调在灵里生活行事。在整个航程中，并现今在米利大岛上，保罗的确是在灵里生活行事。……保罗的生活实际上就是赐生命之灵的彰显。……他传扬那成为肉体、钉十字架、复活、升天而成为赐生命之灵的基督；在米利大岛上，他就是活这样一位成为包罗万有之灵的基督。保罗后来在腓立比一章二十、二十一节上半所写的话指明了这一点。……保罗只关心活基督并显大基督。在米利大岛上，保罗活基督并显大这位成为赐生命之灵的基督。我们读路加对保罗生活的记载，就看见他所活的，乃是包罗万有的灵，就是那成为肉体、钉死十架、复活、升天、被神高举之基督的终极完成（使徒行传生命读经，七○八至七○九页）。

6In his teaching as recorded in his Epistles, Paul emphasized the matter of walking in the Spirit. Throughout the voyage and now on the island of Malta, Paul certainly was walking in the Spirit…Paul’s living was actually the expression of the life-giving Spirit…He preached the incarnated, crucified, resurrected, and ascended Christ as the lifegiving Spirit, and on the island of Malta he lived such a Christ as the all-inclusive Spirit. This is indicated by Paul’s word, written later, in Philippians 1:20 and 21a…Paul cared only to live Christ and to magnify Him. On the island of Malta Paul lived Christ and magnified Him as the life-giving Spirit. As we read Luke’s account of Paul’s living, we see that his living was the all-inclusive Spirit as the consummation of the incarnated, crucified, resurrected, and God-exalted Christ. (Life-study of Acts, p. 600)

7在风暴的海上，主已经使保罗成为与他同船之人的主人，……也成为他们生命的保证人和安慰者（徒二七22、25）。……在他漫长、不幸且受监禁的航程中，主保守使徒在祂的超越里，使他能活出一种生活，远超忧虑的境域。这种生活是全然尊贵，有人性美德的最高标准，彰显最高超的神圣属性，与多年前主在地上所过的生活相似。这是耶稣在祂被神性所丰富的人性里，再次活在地上！这是从前活在福音书里那奇妙、超绝、奥秘的神人，借着祂许多肢体中的一个，在使徒行传里继续活着！这是成为肉体、钉死十架、复活、被神高举之基督的活见证人！保罗在他的航程里活基督，并显大基督。

7On the sea in the storm, the Lord had made the apostle not only the owner of his fellow voyagers…but also their life-guarantor and comforter (Acts 27:2225)…All during the apostle’s long and unfortunate imprisonment-voyage, the Lord kept the apostle in His ascendancy and enabled him to live a life far beyond the realm of anxiety. This life was fully dignified, with the highest standard of human virtues expressing the most excellent divine attributes, a life that resembled the one that the Lord Himself had lived on the earth years before. This was Jesus living again on the earth in His divinely enriched humanity! This was the wonderful, excellent, and mysterious God-man, who lived in the Gospels, continuing to live in the Acts through one of His many members! This was a living witness of the incarnated, crucified, resurrected, and God-exalted Christ! Paul in his voyage lived and magnified Christ.

8在二十八章十四节下半路加说，“这样，我们来到了罗马。”在十五、十六节他说，“那里的弟兄们，一听见我们的事，便来到亚比乌市和三馆迎接我们，保罗见了他们，就感谢神，壮起胆来。当我们进了罗马，保罗蒙准和一个看守他的兵丁另住一处。”

8In [Acts 28:14b] Luke says, “Thus we came to Rome.” In verses 15 and 16 he continues, “From there the brothers, having heard about the things concerning us, came as far as the Market of Appius and Three Inns to meet us; and when Paul saw them, he thanked God and took courage. And when we entered into Rome, Paul was permitted to remain by himself with the soldier who was guarding him.”

9从罗马来的弟兄们热烈的欢迎，和在部丢利弟兄们爱心的关切（13～14），显出早期召会和使徒之间美丽的身体生活。这是在撒但所蒙蔽、人所居住的地上，属天国度生活的一部分。表面上，使徒是个在捆锁中的囚犯，进入撒但所霸占之帝国的黑暗首都；实际上，他是基督的大使，带着基督的权柄（弗六20，太二八18～19），在地上神的国中，有分于祂召会之身体生活里的另一部分。当他在撒但的帝国受到宗教的逼迫时，他在神的国中享受着召会生活。这对他是安慰，也是鼓励。

9The warm welcome of the brothers from Rome and the loving care of those in Puteoli (vv. 13-14) show the beautiful Body life that existed in the early days among the churches and the apostles. This life was a part of the heavenly kingdom life on the Satan-darkened and man-inhabited earth. Apparently, the apostle, as a prisoner in bonds, had entered the region of the dark capital of the Satan-usurped empire. Actually, as the ambassador of Christ with His authority (Eph. 6:20; Matt. 28:18-19), he had come into another part of the participation in the Body life of Christ’s church in the kingdom of God on earth. While he was suffering the persecution of religion in the empire of Satan, he was enjoying the church life in the kingdom of God, which was a comfort and an encouragement to him.

10保罗见了弟兄们，就感谢神，壮起胆来〔徒二八15〕。这指明使徒很有人性。他虽然得着主直接的鼓励（二三11），在航程中一直非常勇敢（二七22～25、33～36），然而，他仍因弟兄们热情的欢迎而壮胆。在保罗的航程中，基督带着祂神圣的属性，彰显在保罗那拔高且带着美德的人性里。保罗在逆境中，一直是显大基督（腓一20）（使徒行传生命读经，七○九至七一二页）。

10When Paul saw the brothers, he thanked God and took courage [Acts 28:15]. This indicates that the apostle was quite human. Although he had been encouraged by the Lord directly (23:11) and was very courageous throughout his voyage (27:22-25, 33-36), he still took courage at the brothers’ warm welcome. It was in Paul’s uplifted humanity with its human virtues that Christ with His divine attributes was expressed during his voyage. He magnified Christ continuously in his adverse situation (Phil. 1:20). (Life-study of Acts, pp. 601-603)

今日要点

12主题：跟随保罗的榜样，使主借我们继续活着

13引经：腓一19~21

141.主借保罗在行传继续活着：

15A.腓一19~21说，『因为我知道，这是借着你们的祈求，和耶稣基督之灵全备的供应，终必叫我得救。这是照着我所专切期待并盼望的，就是没有一事会叫我羞愧，只要凡事放胆，无论是生，是死，总叫基督在我身体上，现今也照常显大，因为在我，活着就是基督，死了就有益处』，保罗书信所写的，也就是他所活的，特别显于第四次的行程中。

16B.在书信中，保罗强调在灵里生活行动，在行程中，他的生活实际上就是赐生命之灵的彰显，他传扬那成为肉体、钉十字架、复活、升天、成为赐生命之灵的基督，他也活这样一位成为包罗万有之灵的基督，我们可以从书信读到这样的一位基督，我们也可以从行传中，在保罗身上，读出这样的一位基督，在使徒行传的继续，基督的继续上，保罗实在是我们的榜样。

172.跟随保罗的榜样，使主借我们继续活着：

18a.在他漫长、不幸且受监禁的航程中，主保守使徒在祂的超越里，使他能活出一种生活，远超忧虑的境域，这种生活是全然尊贵，有人性美德的最高标准，彰显最高超的神圣属性，与多年前主在地上所过的生活相似，这是耶稣在祂被神性所丰富的人性里，再次活在地上！这是从前活在福音书里那奇妙、超绝、奥秘的神人，借着祂许多肢体中的一个，在行传里继续活着！

19B.今天，召会的终极结果，乃是要来在永世里的新耶路撒冷，作神完满的彰显，这该是今天我们跟随使徒保罗的榜样，也是一切福音传扬的实际和目标，为此，我们应当跟随保罗，成为使徒行传的继续，全然放胆宣扬神的国，并教导主耶稣基督的事，毫无阻碍！

20应用：保罗不仅活在主面前，从主得加力，他也因着见到弟兄们，就感谢神而壮起胆来，我们也该看见保罗这一面的榜样，而活在身体当中，使我们能够在逆境中，活基督并显大基督。
