11徒十四3 二人住了多日，靠着主放胆讲论，主借着他们……见证祂恩典的话。
11Acts 14:3 Therefore they spent a considerable amount of time speaking with boldness in the Lord, who testified to the word of His grace…
1226 从那里坐船往安提阿去。当初他们被托与神的恩典，去作他们现在所已经完成之工的，就是在这地方。
1226 And from there they sailed away to Antioch, where they had been commended to the grace of God for the work which they fulfilled.
13〔行传十四章二十六节所说的〕恩典乃是复活的基督成了赐生命的灵（林前十五45），在复活里将经过过程的三一神带到我们里面，作我们的生命和生命的供应，使我们能在复活里活着。因此，恩典就是三一神成了我们的生命和一切。大数的扫罗原是罪人中的罪魁（提前一15～16），但因着这恩竟成了最前面的使徒，比众使徒格外劳苦〔林前十五10〕。他靠这恩而有的职事和生活，对基督的复活乃是人无法否认的见证。那推动使徒并在他里面运行的恩典，……乃是一位活的人位，复活的基督，父神的具体化身，成了包罗万有赐生命的灵，住在使徒里面，作他的一切（使徒行传生命读经，三九八至三九九页）。
13This grace [mentioned in Acts 14:26] is the resurrected Christ becoming the life-giving Spirit (1 Cor. 15:45) to bring the processed Triune God in resurrection into us to be our life and life supply that we may live in resurrection. Thus, grace is the Triune God becoming life and everything to us. It was by this grace that Saul of Tarsus, the foremost of sinners (1 Tim. 1:15-16), became the foremost apostle, laboring more abundantly than all the apostles (1 Cor. 15:10). His ministry and living by this grace were an undeniable testimony to Christ’s resurrection. The grace that motivated him and operated in him…was a living person, the resurrected Christ, the embodiment of God the Father who became the all-inclusive life-giving Spirit, who dwelt in the apostle as his everything. (Life-study of Acts, p. 340)

Today’s Reading
14〔行传十四章三节〕“祂恩典的话”一辞指明一些时代的要点。在会堂里，犹太人读旧约不是要认识主恩典的话。他们读圣经乃是要认识神律法的话，这话属于旧的时代安排，属于神经纶早先的神圣安排。但主恩典的话顶替了律法。……保罗向他们传讲基督作恩典。〔使徒〕借着见证生命的话和主恩典的话，造就初信的人。三节的“见证”一辞，含示恩典的话已经存在，并且已经被传讲。因为恩典的话已经被传讲，所以使徒为它作见证。
14The phrase the word of His grace [in Acts 14:3] denotes certain dispensational points. In the synagogues the Jewish people did not read the Old Testament in order to know the word of the Lord’s grace. Rather, they read the Scriptures in order to know the word of God’s law, a word belonging to the old dispensation, to the former divine arrangement of God’s economy. But the word of the Lord’s grace replaces the law…Paul preached Christ as grace to them. [The apostles] edified the new believers by testifying the word of life and the word of the Lord’s grace. The word testified in verse 3 implies that the word of grace already existed and that it had already been preached. Because the word of grace had been preached, testimony was borne to it.
15犹太人没有找恩典的话，反而注意律法的话连同一切诫命。他们所有的是神律法的话，不是主恩典的话。但是主恩典的话已经存在旧约里，这叫使徒可以为它作见证。
15Instead of finding the word of grace, the Jewish people paid attention to the word of the law with all the commandments. What they had was the word of God’s law, not the word of the Lord’s grace. Nevertheless, the word of the Lord’s grace existed already in the Old Testament. This made it possible for the apostles to testify concerning it.
16我们来看在旧约里所看到主恩典的话的例子。创世记三章十五节：“我又要叫你和女人彼此为仇，你的后裔和女人的后裔也彼此为仇；女人的后裔要伤你的头，你要伤他的脚跟。”在这里我们看见，女人的后裔要伤蛇的头。这岂不是主恩典的话么？当然是。亚当和夏娃吃了善恶知识树的果子，就想要躲避神的面。耶和华的声音呼唤亚当说，“你在哪里？”（9）亚当和夏娃害怕，也许以为神要将他们处死。但耶和华没有说定罪或审判的话，反而说了恩典的话。在十五节，祂定罪蛇，却对亚当和夏娃说了恩典的话。亚当和夏娃听到……耶和华的话，必定非常喜乐。他们必定恨恶那蛇；现今耶和华告诉他们，女人的后裔要伤蛇的头。这必然是恩典的话。
16Let us consider some examples of the word of the Lord’s grace found in the Old Testament. Consider Genesis 3:15: “I will put enmity / Between you and the woman / And between your seed and her seed; / He will bruise you on the head, / But you will bruise him on the heel.” Here we see that the seed of the woman will bruise the serpent’s head. Is this not a word of the Lord’s grace? Certainly it is. After Adam and Eve had eaten of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, they tried to hide from God. The voice of the Lord sounded out to Adam and said, “Where are you?” (v. 9). Adam and Eve were frightened, perhaps thinking that God would sentence them to death. But instead of speaking a word of condemnation or judgment, the Lord spoke a word of grace. In Genesis 3:15 He condemned the serpent and gave Adam and Eve a word of grace. Adam and Eve must have been very happy when they heard the Lord’s word in Genesis 3:15. They must have hated the serpent, and now the Lord was telling them that the seed of the woman would bruise the head of the serpent. This surely is a word of grace.
17“必有童女怀孕生子，她要给他起名叫以马内利。”〔赛七14〕这是恩典的话。
17“Behold, the virgin will conceive and will bear a son, and she will call his name Immanuel” [Isa. 7:14]. This is a word of grace.
18历世历代以来，犹太人都在会堂里读旧约，但他们所听到的是神诫命的话，不是主恩典的话。然而，当主耶稣在路加四章宣扬新约的禧年时，祂从以赛亚书选了一段恩典的话。
18For generations the Jews read the Old Testament in the synagogues. But what they heard was the word of God’s commandment, not the word of the Lord’s grace. However, when the Lord Jesus proclaimed the New Testament jubilee in Luke 4, He selected a word of grace from the book of Isaiah.
19我们需要看见行传十四章三节“祂恩典的话”一辞的意义。这辞有力地指明时代的改变，神在祂经纶里之安排的改变（使徒行传生命读经，三八二至三八四、三八六页）。
19We need to see the significance of the expression the word of His grace in Acts 14:3. This phrase is a strong indication of a change of dispensation, of a change of God’s arrangement in His economy. (Life-study of Acts, pp. 326329)

今日要点
21主题：认识并经历使徒行传中的恩典（续）
21
22引经：徒十四3，徒十四26
22
231.看见见证主恩典的话的内在意义：
23
24A.徒十四3说，『二人住了多日，靠着主放胆讲论，主借着他们...见证祂恩典的话』，这节「祂恩典的话」一词，指明一些时代的要点，在会堂里，犹太人读旧约不是要认识主恩典的话，他们读圣经只是要认识神律法的话，这话属于旧的时代安排，属于神经纶早先的神圣安排，但恩典借着耶稣基督来了。
24
25B.主在地上尽职所说恩典的话，顶替了律法，带来了恩典，保罗向他们传讲基督作恩典，借着见证生命的话和主恩典的话，造就初信的人，见证一词含示，恩典的话已经存在，并且已经被传讲，犹太人只注意律法的话，但是主恩典的话已经存在旧约里，这叫使徒可以为它作见证，例如旧约中说到女人后裔要伤蛇的头，应验在主身上，这就是恩典的话。
25
262.经历恩典就是三一神作我们的生命和一切：
26
27A.在徒十四26说，『从那里坐船往安提阿去。当初他们被托与神的恩典，去作他们现在所已经完成之工的，就是在这地方』，这节所说的恩典，乃是复活的基督成了赐生命的灵，在复活里将经过过程的三一神带到我们里面，作我们的生命和生命的供应，使我们能在复活里活着。
27
28B.因此，恩典就是三一神成了我们的生命和一切，大数的扫罗原来是罪人中的罪魁，但因着这恩典，竟然成了最前面的使徒，比众使徒格外劳苦，他靠着这恩而有的职事和生活，对基督的复活乃是人无法否认的见证，那推动使徒并在他里面运行的恩典，乃是一活的人位，就是复活的基督，父神的具体化身，成了包罗万有赐生命的灵，住在使徒保罗里面，作他的一切。
28
29应用：我们需要受提醒，避免像犹太人只有读主的话，查考圣经，却不到主这里来得生命，使这些话成为恩典的话，为此我们需要祷告着读主的话，我们必须用我们的灵，划擦圣经的灵，以点着神圣的火。
