纲目
1叁 使徒行传启示一班人作为一个身体生活、行动并活动,而活在神圣的历史里;他们作每一件事,都是在身体里、借着身体并为着身体:
1
2一 主耶稣受死、复活并升天之后,继续在地上千万人里生活、行动、行事并作工,因为祂借着祂的死与复活,将祂自己分赐到他们里面——约十二24
2
3二 四福音给我们头的图画,而使徒行传让我们看见身体;使徒行传实际上乃是基督凭着那灵,在召会,就是祂的身体,祂的繁殖与复制里的行动——一14二14上、42,九4~5,二八13~15。

4徒九4~5 他就仆倒在地,听见有声音对他说,扫罗,扫罗,你为什么逼迫我?他说,主啊,你是谁?主说,我就是你所逼迫的耶稣。
4Acts 9:4-5 And he fell on the ground and heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me? And he said, Who are You, Lord? And He said, I am Jesus, whom you persecute.
5二42 他们都坚定持续在使徒的教训和交通里,持续擘饼和祷告。
52:42 And they continued steadfastly in the teaching and the fellowship of the apostles, in the breaking of bread and the prayers.
6使徒行传……该与四福音包括在一起。因为这五卷书放在一起,就给我们看见一个宇宙人的完整图画。四福音给我们头的图画,而使徒行传让我们看见身体。……这卷书所记载的,不仅是使徒的行动,乃是基督借着那灵在召会中的行动。使徒和所有信徒的行动,也就是召会的行动,乃是基督借着圣灵在召会中的行动。在四福音里有一个人,就是拿撒勒人耶稣,凭神圣的生命过神圣的生活。然而在使徒行传中,有几千个人凭同一个神圣的生命,过神圣的生活(李常受文集一九六四年第二册,二二六至二二七页)。
6Acts should be included with the Gospels because these five books together give us a full picture of a universal man. The four Gospels give us a picture of the Head, and the book of Acts shows us the Body…This book records not merely the acts of the apostles but the acts of Christ by the Spirit in the church. The acts of the apostles and of all the believers, that is, of the church, are the acts of Christ in the church by the Holy Spirit. In the four Gospels there is one man, Jesus of Nazareth, living in a divine way by the divine life. In Acts, however, there are thousands of persons living in a divine way by the same divine life. (CWWL, 1964, vol. 2, “A General Sketch of the New Testament in the Light of Christ and the Church, Part 1—the Gospels and Acts,” pp. 177-178)

7主耶稣受死、复活并升天以后,继续在地上千万人里生活、行动、行事并作工,因为祂借着祂的死与复活,将祂自己分赐到他们里面。祂借着受死、复活和升天,大量复制了祂自己。……起初祂是一粒麦子,现今祂成了许多子粒,就是大量的复本,大量的复制品(约十二24)。我们每一位也都是这大量复制的一部分。
7After the Lord Jesus died, resurrected, and ascended, He continued to live, act, walk, and work on this earth in thousands of people because He imparted Himself into them through His death and resurrection. By His death, resurrection, and ascension, He made a mass reproduction of Himself…Originally, He was one grain, but now He became many grains, a mass duplication, a mass reproduction (John 12:24). Every one of us is also a part of this mass reproduction.
8简单地说,在四福音里,我们有印刷模版;而在使徒行传里,我们看见复本、复制。因此,使徒行传乃是基督的行传,不只是基督个人的行动,也是祂在祂的复制和复本里,就是在召会,在宇宙人的身体里的行动。这宇宙人是基督的丰满(弗一23);因此就是基督的一部分,也就是基督自己。
8In brief, in the four Gospels, there is the printing plate, and in Acts we find the duplication, the reproduction. Therefore, the book of Acts contains the acts of Christ, not Christ acting in Himself alone but acting in His reproduction and duplication, which is the church, the Body of the universal man. This universal man is the fullness of Christ (Eph. 1:23); therefore, it is a part of Christ, even Christ Himself.
9〔扫罗〕从第一次遇见主,就接受了身体的异象。他看见一个异象:所有信耶稣的人,乃是耶稣的一部分。因此,逼迫他们就是逼迫耶稣,因为他们与耶稣乃是一,并且祂就活在他们里面。这样,大数的扫罗接受了启示:基督的身体(包括祂的所有肢体),就是基督自己(林前十二12)。
9From the first time that [Saul] met the Lord, he received the vision of the Body. He saw the vision that all those who believe in Jesus are a part of Jesus. Therefore, to persecute them is to persecute Jesus, because they are one with Jesus and He is living in them. In this way, Saul of Tarsus received the revelation that the Body of Christ, including all His members, is Christ Himself (1 Cor. 12:12).
10人打我身体的一部分,就是打我的身体,而打我的身体就是打我。当扫罗逼迫这许多信徒时,绝不明白他乃是在逼迫耶稣。然而主临到扫罗,指出他乃是在逼迫主自己,因为在那些信徒里行动、生活并行事为人的,乃是主自己。
10For someone to hit a part of my body is to hit my body, and to hit my body is to hit me. While Saul was persecuting so many believers, he never realized that he was persecuting Jesus. But when the Lord came to him, He pointed out that Saul was persecuting the Lord Himself, because it was He who was moving, living, and acting in all those believers.
11扫罗从遇见主耶稣的头一天,就蒙光照认识了身体,看见身体与头乃是一,并看见主所作的一切,必须经由祂的身体来作。主不是用个人、直接的方式详详细细地呼召他。反之,主乃是告诉他,往祂身体的一个肢体那里去。借着那身体的肢体,就使扫罗很详细地认识了主的呼召。扫罗这样蒙召,使他认识召会乃是身体。
11From the first day that Saul met the Lord Jesus, he was enlightened to know the Body, that the Body is one with the Head, and that whatever the Lord does must be through His Body. The Lord did not call him in detail in a personal and direct way. Rather, the Lord told him to go to one of the members of His Body. It was through that member of the Body that the Lord’s calling was made known to Saul in detail. Saul was called in such a way that he was made to know the church as the Body.
12许多时候,我们需要身体的肢体向我们说明主呼召的意义。这给我们看见,元首自己在身体的众肢体里生活、工作和行动。这样,信徒、召会的工作或行动,实际上就是基督自己的行动。基督的肢体不是凭自己,乃是凭另一位,就是凭那是灵的基督生活行动。他们接受基督这灵作他们的生命、力量、能力和一切,并凭祂而活(李常受文集一九六四年第二册,二二七、二二九至二三一、二三三至二三四页)。
12Many times we need the members of the Body to interpret the significance of the Lord’s calling. This shows us that the Head Himself lives, works, and moves in the members of the Body. In this way the work or acts of the believers, the church, are actually the acts of Christ Himself. The members of Christ live and act not by themselves but by another One, by Christ as the Spirit. They take Christ as the Spirit to be their life, strength, power, and everything, and they live by Him. (CWWL, 1964, vol. 2, “A General Sketch of the New Testament in the Light of Christ and the Church, Part 1—the Gospels and Acts,” pp. 178-180, 182)
13参读:雅歌结晶读经,第十二篇。
13
今日要点
14主题:在身体中生活、行动并活动,而活在神圣的历史里
14
15引经:徒九4~5徒二42
15
161.使徒行传乃是基督凭着那灵在身体里的行动:
16
17A.行传二章不仅给我们看见,约珥书的预言得着应验,信徒经历圣灵浇灌,并呼求主名而得救,甚至耶路撒冷的召会得以成立,而到了徒二42说,『他们都坚定持续在使徒的教训和交通里,持续擘饼和祷告』,他们不是过单独的基督徒生活,而是过着召会生活,身体生活。
17
18B. 使徒行传可视为第五卷福音书,给我们看见一个宇宙人的完整图画,头四卷福音书给我们头的图画,而使徒行传给我们看见身体,这卷书表面看是记载使徒们的行动,实际上乃是记载基督借着那灵、在召会中的行动,在四福音里有一个人,就是拿撒勒人耶稣,凭神圣生命过神圣的生活,而在行传中,有几千个人凭同一个神圣的生命,过神圣的生活。
18
192.在身体中生活、行动并活动,而活在神圣的历史里:
19
20A.主耶稣受死、复活、升天以后,并没有停止生活,而是继续在地上千万人里面生活、行动、行事并作工,因为祂借着祂的死与复活,将祂自己分赐到他们里面,祂借经过过程复制了祂自己,起初祂是一粒麦子,现今祂成了许多子粒,就是大量的副本,大量地复制品。
20
21B.在徒九4~5,记载主对扫罗说话,『他就仆倒在地,听见有声音对他说,扫罗,扫罗,你为什么逼迫我?他说,主啊,你是谁?主说,我就是你所逼迫的耶稣』,扫罗逼迫的是信徒,但主却说扫罗逼迫我,因为基督是这身体的头,而在基督里的信徒是身体上的肢体,这说出行传启示一班人作为一个身体生活、行动并活动,而活在神圣的历史里,他们作每一件事,都是在身体里、借着身体、并为着身体。
21
22应用:借着早晨分别一个时段,个人到主面前有交通,而使我们从主接受分赐,使祂能在我们里面行动,我们的说话、行动、工作,就会是祂的发表与显现,使我们成为祂的复制与翻版,让祂在我们身上再活一次。
