纲目
1贰 使徒行传启示一班人呼求主的名,而活在神圣的历史里,他们为主的名受苦,并在主的名,就是在耶稣的名里说话:
1
2一 约珥关于神新约禧年的预言及其应验有两面:在神那一面,祂在复活基督的升天里,将祂的灵浇灌下来;在我们这一面,我们呼求这位成就一切、达到一切并得着一切,升天之主的名——徒二16~1821珥二28~2932上
2
31 我们在人类历史中的神圣历史,乃是呼求主名而享受基督的丰富,以建造基督的身体作基督丰满的历史——罗十12~13弗三819一22~23
3
42 借着呼求主名,我们就保守自己在神那金的神圣历史里;这历史开始于以挪士(创四26),继续于旧约和新约(伯十二4创十二8二六25申四7士十五18撒上十二18诗一一六41317八十18八八9王上十八24赛十二4哀三5557诗九九6赛五五6拿一6王下五11赛四一25徒二21七59九1421二二16罗十12~13林前一2提后二22),结束于圣经中最后的祷告(启二二20)。
4
5二 当我们活在神圣的历史里,我们就在人类历史里为主的名受苦;为着人所羞辱、神所宝贵之耶稣的名受辱,乃是真正的尊贵——徒四18~2029~31五41~42九13~16林后六4十一23西一24~25
5
6三 我们借着“在耶稣的名里放胆”讲说,就在人类历史里实现神圣的历史;这名乃是主在祂身位和工作上,一切所是之总和的表明——徒九27腓二9~11帖前二2林后四5

7罗十12~13 ……众人同有一位主,祂对一切呼求祂的人是丰富的。因为“凡呼求主名的,就必得救”。
7Rom. 10:12-13 …The same Lord is Lord of all and rich to all who call upon Him; for “whoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
8徒五41 他们欢欢喜喜从议会跟前走开,因被算是配为这名受辱。
8Acts 5:41 So they went from the presence of the Sanhedrin, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to be dishonored on behalf of the Name.
9呼求主名不是新约的新作法,乃是开始于……人类的第三代以挪士。接着有约伯、……亚伯拉罕、……以撒、……摩西和以色列人、……参孙、……撒母耳、……大卫、……和其他的人;……他们在旧约时代都呼求主名。……神命令并愿意祂的百姓呼求祂。……这是饮于神救恩泉源的喜乐之路,……也是以神为乐的享受之路。……以神为乐就是享受神。因此,神的子民必须天天呼求祂(诗八八9)(圣经恢复本,徒二21注1)。
9Calling on the name of the Lord is not a new practice that began with the New Testament. Rather, it began with Enosh, the third generation of mankind…It was continued by Job…, Abraham…, Isaac…, Moses and the children of Israel…, Samson…, Samuel…, David…, and others…, all of whom practiced this in the Old Testament age…It is God’s commandment…and desire…that His people call on Him. This is the joyful way to drink from the fountain of God’s salvation…and the enjoyable way to delight oneself in God…, that is, to enjoy Him. Hence, God’s people must call upon Him daily (Psa. 88:9). (Acts 2:21, footnote 1)

10在新约〔行传二章二十一节〕里,彼得在五旬节那天,首次提起呼求主名,应验了约珥的预言。这应验是关乎神在经纶一面,将包罗万有的灵浇灌在祂所拣选的人身上,使他们能有分于新约的禧年。……我们这些在基督里的信徒,要有分于并享受包罗万有的基督,和祂所成就、所达到、所得着的一切,呼求祂的名是极其需要的(林前一2)。在神新约的经纶里,这是一种主要的作法,使我们能享受这位经过过程的三一神,叫我们完全得救(罗十10~13)。早期的信徒在各处都呼求主名(林前一2)。对不信的人,尤其对逼迫的人,呼求主名成了基督信徒普遍的记号(徒九1421)。司提反遭逼迫时,曾呼求主名(七59),这必定使逼迫他的扫罗印象深刻(58~60,二二20)。然后,不信的扫罗以他们的呼求为记号,逼迫那些呼求的人(九1421)。等到他被主得着以后,那把他带进基督身体交通里的亚拿尼亚,立刻嘱咐他要呼求着主的名受浸,向人表明他也成了这样呼求的人。他在提后二章二十二节对提摩太所说的话,指明早期所有寻求主的人都呼求主名。毫无疑问,他是一个这样实行的人,因为他嘱咐他的青年同工提摩太要照样作,使提摩太能和他一样享受主(圣经恢复本,徒二21注1)。
10In the New Testament, calling on the name of the Lord was first mentioned by Peter [in Acts 2:21] on the day of Pentecost, as the fulfillment of Joel’s prophecy. This fulfillment is related to God’s outpouring of the all-inclusive Spirit economically upon His chosen people that they may participate in His New Testament jubilee…Calling on the Lord’s name is vitally necessary in order for us, the believers in Christ, to participate in and enjoy the all-inclusive Christ with all He has accomplished, attained, and obtained…It is a major practice in God’s New Testament economy that enables us to enjoy the processed Triune God for our full salvation… The early believers practiced this everywhere (1 Cor. 1:2), and to the unbelievers, especially the persecutors, it became a popular sign of Christ’s believers (Acts 9:14, 21). When Stephen suffered persecution, he practiced this…, and his practice surely impressed Saul, one of his persecutors (7:5860; 22:20). Later, the unbelieving Saul persecuted the callers (9:14, 21) by taking their calling as a sign. Immediately after Saul was caught by the Lord, Ananias, who brought Saul into the fellowship of the Body of Christ, charged him to be baptized, calling on the name of the Lord, to show others that he too had become such a caller. By his word to Timothy in 2 Timothy 2:22, Paul indicated that in the early days all the Lord’s seekers practiced such calling. Undoubtedly, he was one who practiced this, since he charged his young co-worker Timothy to do this that Timothy might enjoy the Lord as he did. (Acts 2:21, footnote 1)
11〔行传二章二十二节〕是从十七节开始所引约珥预言的结语,指明神将祂的灵浇灌在一切属肉体的人身上,结果乃是叫他们借着呼求主名得救。神将祂的灵浇灌下来,就是将主的救恩应用在祂所拣选的人身上。得救乃是接受这灵,这灵就是神新约经纶里福音的福(加三2514)。这灵乃是主自己成了我们的气息(约二十22)和活水(四1014)。我们要吸入祂作我们的气息,并饮于祂作我们的活水,就需要呼求祂。哀歌三章五十五至五十六节(英译美国标准本)指明,呼求主就是呼吸;以赛亚十二章三至四节指明,呼求主就是喝水。我们信主以后,需要呼求祂,使我们不仅能得救,更能享受祂的丰富(罗十12~13)。我们运用灵呼求祂,吸祂,喝祂,就能享受祂的丰富。这才是对神真正的敬拜。主把这敬拜(约四24),联于饮祂所赐的活水(14)(徒二21注3)。
11[Acts 2:21] is the conclusion of the quotation of Joel’s prophecy, which began in verse 17, indicating that the issue of God’s pouring out of His Spirit upon all flesh is their salvation through calling on the name of the Lord. God’s outpouring of His Spirit is the applying of the Lord’s salvation to His chosen people. To be saved is to receive this Spirit, who is the blessing of the gospel in God’s New Testament economy (Gal. 3:2, 5, 14). This Spirit is the Lord Himself as the breath (John 20:22) and the living water (John 4:10, 14) to us. To breathe Him in as our breath and drink Him as our living water, we need to call on Him. Lamentations 3:55-56 indicates that our calling on the Lord is our breathing, and Isaiah 12:3-4 indicates that our calling on the Lord is our drinking. After we believe in the Lord, we need to call on Him that we may not only be saved but also enjoy His riches (Rom. 10:12-13). When we exercise our spirit to call on Him, breathe Him in, and drink Him, we enjoy His riches; this is the real worship to God. The Lord connected such worship (John 4:24) to the drinking of the living water given by Him (John 4:14). (Acts 2:21, footnote 3)
12为着人所羞辱、神所宝贵之耶稣的名受辱,乃是真正的尊贵。……受辱的人因被算是配为这名受辱而欢喜(徒五41注1)。
12It is a real honor to be dishonored on behalf of the Name, the very name of the man-dishonored but God-honored Jesus…The dishonored ones rejoiced that they were counted worthy to be dishonored on behalf of the Name. (Acts 5:41, footnote 1)

今日要点
14主题:借着呼求主名,活在神圣历史里
14
15引经:罗十12~13徒五41
15
161.借着呼求主名,有分并享受基督:
16
17A.使徒行传启示一班人呼求主的名,而活在神圣的历史里,他们为主的名受苦,并在主的名,就是在耶稣的名里说话,这也就是约珥书关于神新约禧年的预言及其应验的两面,在神那一面,祂在复活基督的升天里,将祂的灵浇灌下来,在我们这一面,我们呼求这位成就一切、达到一切并得着一切,升天之主的名。
17
18B.在行传二章,使徒们不仅经历圣灵的浇灌,彼得也在五旬节当天,首次提起呼求主名,应验了约珥书的预言,我们需要看见,信徒要有分于并享受基督,呼求祂的名是极其重要。
18
192.呼求主名是饮于神救恩泉源的喜乐之路:
19
20A.有基督徒认为,地方召会是呼喊派,是李常受自己搞出来的新作法,但我们需要看见,呼求主名不是新约的新作法,乃是开始于人类的第三代以挪士,接着有约伯、亚伯拉罕、以撒、摩西和以色列人、参孙、撒母耳、大卫、和其他的人,他们在旧约时代都呼求主名,神命令并愿意百姓呼求祂,这是饮于神救恩泉源的喜乐之路,也是以神为乐的享受之路。
20
21B.呼求主名乃是初期信徒普遍的记号,司提反殉道时呼求主名,这必定使逼迫他的扫罗印象深刻,然后,扫罗就逼迫并抓拿呼求的人,直到他被主得着,亚拿尼亚历克嘱咐他呼求主的名受浸,使保罗也在罗十12~13说,『...众人同有一位主,祂对一切呼求祂的人是丰富的。因为「凡呼求主名的,就必得救」』。
21
22应用:一早起床,不该呼求说,我的手机呢?而该呼求主名,使我们饮于祂的救恩,呼求到一个地步,使我们以祂作活水、作气息,才能出门面对一天的生活,甚至能够为着这名受辱,成为主的见证人。
