6徒二17 神说,在末后的日子,我要将我的灵浇灌在一切属肉体的人身上;你们的儿女要说预言,你们的青年人要见异象,你们的老年人要作异梦。
6Acts 2:17 “And it shall be in the last days, says God, that I will pour out of My Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream things in dreams.”
721 那时,凡呼求主名的,就必得救。
721 “And it shall be that everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
8这个宇宙中有两个历史:人的历史—属人的历史,和神的历史—神圣的历史。我们可以把人的历史比喻作核桃的外壳,把神的历史比喻作外壳里面的核仁。
8In this universe there are two histories: the history of man, the human history, and the history of God, the divine history. We may liken the history of man to the shell of a walnut and the history of God to the kernel within the shell.
9虽然我们很容易看见外壳,那是外在、物质的,但我们必须有一种内在的洞察力,才能看见外壳里面的核仁,认识在人类历史里面的神圣历史(约珥书生命读经,二四八至二四九页)。
9Although it is easy for us to see the shell, which is something outward and physical, we must have a kind of intrinsic insight in order to see the kernel within the shell, to know the divine history within the human history. (Lifestudy of Joel, pp. 33-34)

10这永远的一位在祂自己里面定了一个经纶。按照祂的经纶,神要把祂自己作到人里面,与人成为一,作人的生命、生命的供应和一切,并得着人作祂的彰显。所以,神在祂经纶里的心愿,就是要有一个团体的实体,由神和人构成,作祂永远的彰显。这神圣的历史开始于永远的神和祂的经纶。
10Within Himself, this eternal One made an economy. According to His economy, God wants to work Himself into man to be one with man, to be man’s life, life supply, and everything, and to have man as His expression. God’s intention in His economy is thus to have a corporate entity, composed of God and man, to be His expression for eternity. This divine history began with the eternal God and His economy.
11基督的成为肉体和人性生活,是这神圣历史的继续。有一天,创造宇宙的神成为肉体,在童女腹中由圣灵成孕,然后为这童女所生,成为神人,是完整的神,又是完全的人。神成了一个人,名叫耶稣,住在拿撒勒,在那里作木匠,直到三十岁。基督的成为肉体和祂的人性生活,都是神圣历史的一部分,这神圣的历史就是在人类历史里神的历史。主耶稣在地上生活并尽职,末了祂甘心乐意地上十字架。祂的钉死是个包罗万有、代替的死,了结旧造,并解决所有的问题。祂的死把祂引进复活:一面,在祂的复活里,祂生为神的长子(徒十三33罗一4八29);另一面,在祂的复活里,并借着祂的复活,祂成了赐生命的灵(林前十五45下)。
11The divine history continued with the incarnation and human living of Christ. One day the very God who created the universe became incarnated, being conceived of the Holy Spirit within the womb of a human virgin and then born of this virgin to be the God-man, the One who is the complete God and a perfect man. It is marvelous that God became a man named Jesus and that this man lived in Nazareth, working as a carpenter, until the age of thirty. Christ’s incarnation and His human living both are parts of the divine history, the history of God within the history of man…At the end of His life and ministry on earth, the Lord Jesus went willingly to the cross. His crucifixion was a vicarious death, an all-inclusive death which terminated the old creation and solved all problems. His death ushered Him into resurrection. On the one hand, in His resurrection He was begotten to be the firstborn Son of God (Acts 13:33; Rom. 1:4; 8:29). On the other hand, in and through His resurrection He became the life-giving Spirit (1 Cor. 15:45b).
12此外,借着基督的复活,千万的人从神而生,由神重生(彼前一3),成为神的众子和基督身体上的肢体,就是召会。这位成为肉体、钉十字架、复活、升上诸天、然后降下成为那灵的基督,产生了召会,作三一神团体的彰显。今天的召会就是基督显现的扩大。……神的历史这部分已持续了一千九百多年,并且仍然在持续着。
12Furthermore, through Christ’s resurrection millions were begotten, regenerated, by God (1 Pet. 1:3) to be sons of God and to be members of the Body of Christ, the church. The Christ who was incarnated, crucified, and resurrected, the Christ who ascended to the heavens and then descended as the Spirit, has produced the church as the corporate expression of the Triune God. The church today is the enlargement of the manifestation of Christ…This part of God’s history has lasted for more than nineteen hundred years, and it is still going on.
13五旬节那日浇灌下来的那灵,乃是神的灵复合了基督的人性、受死、复活和升天。这……复合之灵就是终极完成的三一神,也是基督的实化。神将祂自己浇灌在那些呼求主名的人身上。这浇灌产生了召会。……召会是奥秘的,因为基督是在召会里显现出来。
13The Spirit poured out on the day of Pentecost was the Spirit of God compounded with Christ’s humanity, death, resurrection, and ascension. This compounded Spirit…is the realization of Christ and the consummation of the Triune God. God poured Himself upon those who called on the name of the Lord. This outpouring produced the church…The church is mysterious, for it is in the church that Christ is manifested.
14借着这浇灌,所有的门徒和在五旬节那日得救的人,就成了团体基督的一部分。个人的基督借此成为团体的、扩大的、扩增的基督,就是召会,神显现于肉体(提前三15~16)。
14By this outpouring all the disciples and saved ones on the day of Pentecost became parts of the corporate Christ. The individual Christ has thus become the corporate Christ, the enlarged, increased Christ, which is the church as the manifestation of God in the flesh (1 Tim. 3:15-16).
15我们都在人类的历史里出生,却在神圣的历史里重生。……我们若活在这个世界,就是活在人类的历史里。但我们若活在召会中,就是活在神圣的历史里。……现在这两方—神和我们—有同一个历史,就是神圣的历史。这就是召会生活(约珥书生命读经,二四九至二五一、二三一、二五二页)。
15We all were born in the human history, but we have been reborn, regenerated, in the divine history…If our living is in the world, we are living in the human history. But if we are living in the church, we are living in the divine history…Now two parties—God and we—have one history, the divine history. This is the church life. (Life-study of Joel, pp. 34-35, 1819, 36)

今日要点
17主题:在人类历史中活在神圣历史里,作基督团体的显现
17
18引经:徒二17徒二21
18
191.行传启示人类历史中之神圣历史:
19
20a.使徒行传启示一班人作为行动的神,在人类历史中活在神圣历史里,他们在生命、性情、彰显和功用上(但不在神格上)成为神,为着扩展并建造召会,作基督团体的显现,行传里彼得头一次宣扬福音时,引用了约珥书,在徒二1721说,『神说,在末后的日子,我要将我的灵浇灌在一切属肉体的人身上;你们的儿女要说预言,你们的青年人要见异象,你们的老年人要作异梦。 ...那时,凡呼求主名的,就必得救。 』
20
21B.彼得所引用的约珥书一、二章,启示外在的人类历史里内在的神圣历史,人的历史,属人的历史就像核桃的外壳,而神的历史,神圣的历史就像外壳里面的核仁,这卷书说到经过过程、终极完成、复合之灵在五旬节那天的浇灌,这灵就是终极完成的三一神,也是基督的实化,为着基督的显现。
21
222.我们活在神圣历史里,作基督团体的显现:
22
23A.从整本圣经我们可看见,在人类历史里的神圣历史,乃是基督「从太初而出」,通过时间的桥梁,进到将来的永远,使祂能将自己,就是万国所羡慕的,分赐到祂所拣选的人里,为着祂团体的显现和祂完满的得荣,所以,借着基督的复活,千万人从神而生,成为神的众子和基督身体上的肢体,就是召会。
23
24B.这位成肉体、钉十架、复活、升天、将下成为那灵的基督,产生了召会,作三一神团体的彰显,今天的召会就是基督显现的扩大和继续,我们都在人类历史里出生,却在神圣的历史里重生,我们要活在召会中,就是活在神圣的历史里,好成为使徒行传的继续。
24
25应用:我们已经在神圣的历史里重生,借着转回灵里,过召会生活,经历那灵的充满与充溢,与圣徒一同传扬福音、牧养圣徒、坚定持续在使徒的教训与交通里,持续擘饼与用饭,将行传二章初期召会生活光景活出来,而使我们活在神圣的历史里,成为使徒行传的继续。
