纲目
1贰 我们需要看见使徒行传中的恩典——四33,十一23,十三43,十四3、26,十五11、40,二十32:
1
2一 “使徒大有能力,见证主耶稣的复活,众人也都蒙大恩”——四33:
2
31 我们珍赏“众人也都蒙大恩”这句话。
3
42 这发生于五旬节的时候;成千的人被带到主面前——二41,四4。
4
53 在这种情况中,人能领悟信徒蒙了大恩。
5
64 这恩一点不差就是那活的耶稣在行动、使人信服、征服一切、释放人、拔高人并超越一切。
6
75 “他〔巴拿巴〕到了,看见神的恩典”——十一23上。
7
86 当他看见恩典时,他“就欢乐,劝勉众人,要立定心志,一直与主同在”——23节下。
8
97 巴拿巴所看见的恩典,必定是信徒所得着并享受的三一神,彰显于他们的得救、生命的改变、圣别的生活以及在聚会中所运用的恩赐,这些都是人所能见的。
9
10二 “保罗、巴拿巴……对他们讲论,劝勉他们要一直留于神的恩中”——十三43:
10
111 一直留于恩典中,含示我们已经接受这恩典。
11
122 我们既接受了神的恩,现在就需要一直留于其中:
12
13a 实际上,信徒接受了三十四节所说那圣的,那可靠的。
13
14b 然后这些圣的、可靠的事物就成了四十三节神的恩。
14
15c 因此,神的恩复合了一切圣的、可靠的事物。

16徒四33 使徒大有能力,见证主耶稣的复活,众人也都蒙大恩。
16Acts 4:33 And with great power the apostles gave testimony of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all.
17十一23 他〔巴拿巴〕到了,看见神的恩典,就欢乐,劝勉众人,要立定心志,一直与主同在。
1711:23…When [Barnabas] arrived and saw the grace of God, [he] rejoiced and encouraged them all to remain with the Lord with purpose of heart.
18我们必须承认,在我们日常生活里,在谈话中,我们没有把多少恩典供应给别人。我们必须学习不说废话;反之,每句话都该供应神的恩典,作神完整救恩的一部分〔弗四29〕。
18We must admit that in our daily life we do not minister much grace to others in our speaking. We must learn not to speak wasted words. Instead, every word should minister the grace of God as a part of the entire salvation of God [cf. Eph. 4:29].
19彼前五章五节说,“神敌挡狂傲的人,赐恩给谦卑的人。”我们必须学习谦卑,不要狂傲。如果我们狂傲,神就弃绝我们。如果我们是谦卑的,神就要赐恩给我们(李常受文集一九九四至一九九七年第一册,五四一、五八二页)。
19First Peter 5:5 says, “God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble.” We must learn to be humble and not proud. If we are proud, God will reject us. If we are humble, God will give us grace. (CWWL, 1994-1997, vol. 1, “Crystallization-study of the Epistle to the Romans,” pp. 428, 459)
20巴拿巴所看见的恩典,必定是信徒所得着并享受的三一神,彰显于他们的得救、生命的改变、圣别的生活以及在聚会中所运用的恩赐,这些都是人所能见的。巴拿巴劝勉信徒,“要立定心志,一直与主同在。”(徒十一23)一直与主同在,意即坚定不移地忠于主,依附主,活在与主紧密的交通中(使徒行传生命读经,三一三至三一四页)。
20Grace is the Triune God becoming life and everything to us. The grace that was seen by Barnabas must have been the Triune God received and enjoyed by the believers and expressed in their salvation, change in life, holy living, and the gifts they exercised in their meetings, all of which could be seen by others. Barnabas encouraged the believers “to remain with the Lord with purpose of heart” [Acts 11:23]. To remain is to be persistently faithful to the Lord, cleave to Him, and live in close fellowship with Him. (Life-study of Acts, p. 271)

Today’s Reading
21今天我们不是作单个的基督徒,因为不是只有你一个人蒙恩,乃是信徒众人都蒙大恩(徒四33)。……我们已经与基督同钉十字架,现今基督在我们里面,不仅作我们的生命和生命的供应,还作我们的人位。我们与基督一同活着,二命一同生活,二性调成一性,二灵成为一灵。这样的生活,才是一个生机体,叫经过过程、终极完成的三一神,能生机地活在我们这班人中间,彰显祂自己。这乃是神经纶所要的(李常受文集一九九一至一九九二年第二册,四一四至四一五页)。
21It is not just one individual alone who receives grace, but all the believers receive great grace (Acts 4:33)…We have been crucified with Christ; now Christ is in us not only to be our life and life supply but also to be our person. Christ and we live together; two lives have one living, two natures are mingled into one nature, and two spirits become one spirit. Such a living is the organism for the processed and consummated Triune God to live among us organically for His expression. This is God’s intention in His economy. (CWWL, 1991-1992, vol. 2, “The Law and Grace of God in His Economy,” p. 316)
22行传十三章四十三节说,“……犹太人和敬神入犹太教的人,多有跟从保罗、巴拿巴的,二人对他们讲论,劝勉他们要一直留于神的恩中。”就如二章十节,入犹太教的人是指改信犹太教的外邦人(六5)。保罗和巴拿巴劝勉那些跟从他们的犹太人和入犹太教的人,要一直留于神的恩中,这神的恩就是三一神自己,被信徒得着且享受,并且彰显于他们的得救、生命的改变和圣别的生活。
22[Acts 13:43] says [that] “…many of the Jews and the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who spoke to them and urged them to continue in the grace of God.” As in 2:10, the devout proselytes were Gentiles who were converted to Judaism (6:5). The grace of God, in which the Jews and devout proselytes who followed Paul and Barnabas were exhorted to continue, is the Triune God received and enjoyed by the believers and expressed in their salvation, change in life, and holy living.
23我们需要特别注意十三章四十三节“神的恩”一辞,甚至需要分析这恩典。……〔这〕节的恩典是由许多元素形成的复合物。这恩典复合了一切圣的、可靠的事物。……三十四节有复活的基督作那圣的,那可靠的。按照旧约的应许和预言,这些圣的、可靠的事物乃是怜悯。……这些怜悯是基督所是的不同方面。四十三节的说法由“那圣的,那可靠的”转为“神的恩”。神已经将复活的基督作那圣的,那可靠的赐给我们,我们也已经相信祂,接受这一切圣的、可靠的事物。但我们在日常生活中经历什么?我们乃是经历那复合、包罗万有的恩典,就是经过过程的三一神,经过成为肉体、为人生活、钉十字架和复活等过程的神。这是保罗劝信徒要一直留于神的恩中的原因。
23We need to pay particular attention to the word grace in 13:43. We even need to analyze this grace…The grace in 13:43 is a compound formed of a number of elements. This grace is compounded of all the holy and faithful things. In verse 34 we have the resurrected Christ as the holy and faithful things. According to both the promise and prophecy of the Old Testament, these holy and faithful things are mercies…These mercies are different aspects of what Christ is. In verse 43 the expression is changed from the holy things of David, the faithful things to grace. God has given us the resurrected Christ as the holy and faithful things, and we have believed in Him and have received all these holy and faithful things. But what do we experience in our daily life? We experience the compound, all-inclusive grace, which is the processed Triune God, the very God who went through the processes of incarnation, human living, crucifixion, and resurrection. This is the reason Paul urged the believers to continue in the grace of God.
24一直留于恩典中,含示我们已经接受这恩典。我们既接受了神的恩,现在就需要一直留于其中。实际上,信徒接受了三十四节所说那圣的,那可靠的,然后这些圣的、可靠的事物就成了四十三节神的恩。因此,神的恩复合了一切圣的、可靠的事物(使徒行传生命读经,三七四至三七六页)。
24To continue in the grace implies that we have already received this grace. Having received the grace of God, we now need to continue in it. Actually, the believers received the holy and faithful things spoken of in verse 34. Then these holy and faithful things became the grace of God in verse 43. Hence, the grace of God is compounded of all the holy and faithful things. (Life-study of Acts, p. 321)

今日要点
26主题:认识并经历使徒行传中的恩典
26
27引经:徒四33徒十一23
27
281.在召会中蒙大恩并使人看见神的恩典:
28
29a.我们不仅看见新约中的恩典,更需要看见使徒行传中的恩典,在四33,『使徒大有能力,见证主耶稣的复活,众人也都蒙大恩』,这乃是发生在五旬节的时候,当时成千的人被带到主面前,不仅耶路撒冷的召会成立,在这种情况中,人能领悟信徒蒙了大恩,这恩一点不差就是那活的耶稣在行动、使人信服、征服一切、释放人、拔高人、并超越一切。
29
30b.在徒十一23上,『他〔巴拿巴〕到了,看见神的恩典』,巴拿巴所看见的恩典,必定是信徒所得着并享受的三一神,彰显于它们的得救、生命的改变、圣别的生活、以及在聚会中所运用的恩赐,这些都是人所能见的,因着巴拿巴看见恩典,祂就欢乐,劝勉众人,要立定心志,一直与主同在。
30
312.留在神的恩中,好经历基督那圣的、那可靠的:
31
32a.此外,在徒十三43,『...犹太人和敬神入犹太教的人,多有跟从保罗、巴拿巴的,二人对他们讲论,劝勉他们要一直留于神的恩中』,这些入犹太教的人是指改信犹太教的外邦人,保罗和巴拿巴劝勉那些跟从他们要一直留于神的恩中,这含示我们已经接受了这恩典,需要一直留在其中,留在三一神自己里面,使三一神给我们得着并享受。
32
33B.「神的恩」一词非常特别,这节的恩典是由许多元素形成的复合物,这恩典复合了一切圣的、可靠的事物,基督是那圣的,那可靠的,而这些圣的、可靠的事物,乃是怜悯,就是基督所是的不同方面,祂已将复活的基督这圣的、可靠的赐给我们,我们需要留在神的恩中,好经历这样的一位基督。
33
34应用:我们该在基督徒生活、召会生活和家庭生活中,学习谦卑,不要狂傲,谦卑邀来神的恩典,使我们能够蒙大恩,满了对三一神的经历与享受,这样,我们就能在跟随主的路上,坚定不移。
