10徒十五40 保罗却拣选了西拉,也出去,蒙弟兄们把他交与主的恩典。
10Acts 15:40 But Paul chose Silas and went out, having been commended to the grace of the Lord by the brothers.
11二十32 如今我把你们交托神和祂恩典的话,这话能建造你们,叫你们在一切圣别的人中得着基业。
1120:32 And now I commit you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and to give you the inheritance among all those who have been sanctified.
12〔保罗与西拉〕蒙弟兄们把他们交与主的恩典〔徒十五40〕。……保罗第二次出外尽职的旅程,开始于此,结束于行传十八章二十二节。
12[Paul and Silas were] commended to the grace of the Lord by the brothers [Acts 15:40]…This was the start of Paul’s second ministry journey, which ended in 18:22.
13〔在二十章三十二节,〕保罗把信徒交托神和祂恩典的话。恩典乃是信徒所得着并享受的三一神。我相信保罗在以弗所那三年中,每天向圣徒讲说神恩典的话(使徒行传生命读经,四二七至四二八、五四八页)。
13[In Acts 20:32] Paul committed the believers to God and to the word of His grace. Grace is the Triune God received and enjoyed by the believers. I believe that during the three years Paul was in Ephesus, he daily spoke the word of God’s grace to the saints. (Life-study of Acts, pp. 363, 465)
信息选读
Today’s Reading
14我们能见证,靠着主的怜悯,生命读经的信息里有神恩典的话。……我要鼓励青年人花几年时间,被所有生命读经的信息来构成。……甚至年长的人仍然有时间被这些信息构成,然后有年日事奉主,在全地执行神新约的经纶。
14We can testify that, by the Lord’s mercy, the word of God’s grace can be found in the Life-study messages…I would encourage the young people to take the time over the next several years to become constituted of all the Life-study messages. Even those who are much older still have the time to be constituted of these messages and then have years to serve the Lord by carrying out God’s New Testament economy throughout the earth.
15在行传二十章三十二节,我们看见神恩典的话的功用。第一,这话能建造圣徒。建造圣徒需要在神圣的生命里长大,而在神圣的生命里长大需要神圣元素的滋养,并得着神圣知识的造就和装备。唯有借着神丰盛恩典的话,才能有这一切;这恩典乃是三一神自己,祂经过了成为肉体、为人生活、钉十字架、复活、升天等一切过程,就将自己赐给圣徒,作他们的享受。
15In Acts 20:32 we see the function of the word of God’s grace. First, this word is able to build up the saints. To build up the saints requires the growth in the divine life, and the growth in the divine life needs the nourishment of the divine element and the edification and equipment with the divine knowledge. All of these can be afforded only by the word of God’s abundant grace, which is the Triune God Himself who went through all the processes of incarnation, human living, crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension and who has been given to the saints for their enjoyment.
16第二,神恩典的话的功用是叫我们“在一切圣别的人中得着基业”。神圣的基业乃是三一神自己并祂所有的、所作成的、以及为祂赎民所要作的一切。这位三一神化身在包罗万有的基督里面(西二9);这基督是分给众圣徒的分,作他们的基业(一12)。而赐给众圣徒的圣灵,乃是这神圣基业的预尝、凭质和保证(罗八23弗一14)。我们今天在神新约的禧年里,就有分于并享受这基业作预尝;到来世和永远里还要完满地享受这基业(彼前一4)。
16Second, the word of God’s grace functions to give us “the inheritance among all those who have been sanctified.” The divine inheritance is the Triune God Himself with all He has, all He has done, and all He will do for His redeemed people. This Triune God is embodied in the all-inclusive Christ (Col. 2:9), who is the portion allotted to the saints as their inheritance (1:12). The Holy Spirit, who has been given to the saints, is the foretaste, the pledge, and the guarantee of this divine inheritance (Rom. 8:23; Eph. 1:14), which we are sharing and enjoying today as the foretaste in God’s New Testament jubilee, and which we will share and enjoy in full in the coming age and for eternity (1 Pet. 1:4).
17我们永远的基业,与我们重生所得,且在基督徒一生中不断经历并享受之神圣的生命有关。……基业乃是一分正当且合法的产业,……我们不是作工来得基业,我们是领受基业。……我们在重生那一天,就得着权利有分于基业。这基业包括与永远生命有关的一切福分。……这基业是合法、正确且正当的,因为基督付出祂宝血的代价,受死为我们将这基业买来。我们可以每天有分于并享受这从今天直到永远都属于我们的基业。
17Our eternal inheritance is related to the divine life, which we received through regeneration and which we are experiencing and enjoying throughout our entire Christian life. An inheritance is a proper and legal possession…We do not work for an inheritance; we receive it. On the day we were regenerated, we were given the right to share an inheritance. This inheritance includes all the blessings related to eternal life…This inheritance is legal, proper, and legitimate, for Christ died to purchase it for us, paying the price of His precious blood. Daily we may participate in and enjoy the inheritance that is ours today and for eternity.
18按照保罗在行传二十章三十二节的话,基业乃是在圣别的人中间。有分于神的基业需要我们被圣别,被圣别需要神恩典的话。主耶稣在约翰十七章十七节祷告说,“求你用真理圣别他们,你的话就是真理。”圣别(弗五26帖前五23),就是从世界和世界的霸占里分别出来,归给神和神的旨意;这不仅是地位上的圣别(太二三1719),也是性质上的圣别(罗六1922)。神活的话在信徒里面作工,把他们从一切属世的事物中分别出来。这就是在神的话里得以圣别,这话就是真理,实际(使徒行传生命读经,五四八至五五一页)。
18According to Paul’s word in Acts 20:32, the inheritance is among those who have been sanctified. To participate in God’s inheritance requires us to be sanctified, and to be sanctified requires the word of God’s grace. In John 17:17 the Lord Jesus prayed, “Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth.” To be sanctified (Eph. 5:26; 1 Thes. 5:23) is to be separated from the world and its usurpation unto God and His purpose, not only positionally (Matt. 23:17, 19) but also dispositionally (Rom. 6:19, 22). God’s living word works in the believers to separate them from anything worldly. This is to be sanctified in God’s word, which is the truth, the reality. (Life-study of Acts, pp. 465-467)

今日要点
20主题:认识并经历使徒行传中的恩典(续)
20
21
221.借着被交与主的恩典,蒙保守在主工作的流中:
22
23A.上周我们提到,在行传十五章,巴拿巴执意要带马可同去,但保罗不愿意,而使二人起了争执,这样人情的关系,就使召会的扩展与建造受到阻碍,然而,在40节,『保罗却拣选了西拉,也出去,蒙弟兄们把他交与主的恩典,这是保罗第二次出外尽职旅程的开始,这节说出,保罗被交与主的恩典。
23
24B.另一面,这事以后,行传里的神圣记载,说到主在神新约经纶里的行动,就不再题巴拿巴了,他失败的原因,也许是他与表弟马可的天然关系,巴拿巴和保罗第一次出外尽职时,马可消极的离开了他们。后来马可得恢复,回到保罗的职事里,巴拿巴却没有而,这说出,保罗蒙弟兄们把他交与主的恩典,这指明他作的对。
24
252.看见并经历神恩典的话两面功用:
25
26A.在徒二十章,保罗在米利都会见以弗所的长老,流泪劝戒他们,最后保罗在32节说,『如今我把你们交托神和祂恩典的话,这话能建造你们,叫你们在一切圣别的人中得着基业』,保罗在以弗所三年之久,每天向着圣徒讲说恩典的话,这恩典乃是信徒所得着并享受的三一神。
26
27B.在这节中,我们看见神恩典的话有以下功用:第一,这话能建造圣徒;建造圣徒需要再神圣的生命里长大,而这长大需要神圣元素的滋养,并得着神圣知识的造就和装备,这一切都在话中,第二,叫我们在一切圣别的人中得着基业,基督作为三一神的具体化身,就是我们的分,我们的基业。
27
28应用:我们该以保罗为榜样,不仅自己经历基督作恩典,更能够向圣徒讲说神恩典的话,避免说威吓的话,不建造人的话,而能够建造召会作基督的身体。
