9徒一3 祂受害之后,用许多确据,将自己活活地显给使徒看,四十天之久向他们显现,讲说神国的事。
9Acts 1:3 To whom also He presented Himself alive after His suffering by many irrefutable proofs, appearing to them through a period of forty days and speaking the things concerning the kingdom of God.
10八12 及至他们信了腓利所传神的国和耶稣基督之名的福音,连男带女就受了浸。
108:12 But when they believed Philip, who announced the gospel of the kingdom of God and of the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
11主耶稣升到诸天之上,并将自己这包罗万有的灵浇灌出来以建立召会之前,祂教导门徒国度的事〔徒一3〕。他们若不认识或领悟国度的事,主耶稣就很难带他们进入召会(新约总论第八册,一三页)。
11Before the Lord Jesus ascended to the heavens and poured out Himself as the all-inclusive Spirit to establish the church, He taught His disciples about the kingdom [Acts 1:3]. If they had not had any knowledge or realization concerning the kingdom, it would have been difficult for the Lord Jesus to bring them into the church. (The Conclusion of the New Testament, p. 2556)

Today’s Reading
12升天之主的工作主要的……是将祂自己繁殖到全地。……我们都是基督繁殖的一部分。我们已由复活的基督在祂的升天里所产生。
12The ascended Lord’s work is mainly propagating Himself throughout the earth…We all are part of Christ’s propagation. We have been produced by the resurrected Christ in His ascension.
13复活的基督在祂的升天里,借着祂的见证人繁殖祂自己,乃是为着产生众召会。这指明众召会不该仅仅由人手兴起并建立。……每个地方召会都必须由基督所生,由基督在祂神圣、复活生命里的繁殖所产生。
13Through His witnesses the resurrected Christ in His ascension propagates Himself for the producing of the churches. This indicates that the churches should not be raised up and established merely by human hands…Every local church must be born of Christ, brought forth by Christ’s propagation in His divine and resurrected life.
14由基督的繁殖所产生的众召会就是神的国。神的国乃是由基督的繁殖所产生的生命范围。事实上,国度就是这复活、繁殖者的扩大。这位在升天里,凭着那灵,借着门徒,繁殖祂自己的复活基督,乃是神国的实际。神的国就是祂的扩大。
14The churches produced by Christ’s propagation are the kingdom of God. The kingdom of God is a sphere of life produced by the propagation of Christ. Actually, the kingdom is the expansion of this resurrected, propagating One. The resurrected Christ, who is propagating Himself in His ascension, by the Spirit, and through the disciples, is the reality of the kingdom of God. The kingdom of God is His expansion.
15我们可以用人的国为例,说明神的国是基督的扩大。起初,只有一个人,就是亚当。然后……人的国〔扩大为〕一对夫妇,……这对夫妇生了孩子。……人的国就从一个人扩大到一个家。如今全人类都是人国的一部分。人的国就是人类,就是亚当这人的扩大。
15We may use the kingdom of man, the human kingdom, for an illustration of the kingdom of God as the expansion of Christ. In the beginning, there was just one man, Adam. Then…the kingdom of man was a couple…The kingdom of man expanded from one man to a family. Now the entire human race is part of the kingdom of man. The kingdom of man is simply mankind as the expansion of the man, Adam.
16神的国就是神的扩大,而这位神的具体化身就是基督。这基督的扩大就是众召会。众召会就是这位来把自己当作神国种子撒播出去之基督的扩大。这是四福音里所启示的。在福音书里,基督乃是国度的种子。在使徒行传里有这种子的繁殖,以产生众召会,就是神的国。
16The kingdom of God is the expansion of God, whose embodiment is Christ. This expansion of Christ is the churches. The churches are the expansion of Christ as the One who came to sow Himself as the seed of the kingdom of God. This is revealed in the four Gospels. In the Gospels Christ was the seed of the kingdom. In the book of Acts we have the propagation of this seed to produce the churches as the kingdom of God.
17也许你说,使徒行传有二十八章。这当然是对的。然而,我们也可以说,使徒行传还在继续写,因为复活基督的繁殖还在进行。……甚至今天,也许就写下了某一章的某一段。……我们在众召会里乃是基督的繁殖,也是基督的扩大,并且我们正在扩展神的国。
17Perhaps you would say that Acts has twenty-eight chapters. This, of course, is correct. However, it is also true to say that the book of Acts is still being written because the propagation of the resurrected Christ is still taking place…Even today a portion of a chapter may have been written…We in the churches are the propagation of Christ and the expansion of Christ, and we are enlarging the kingdom of God.
18使徒行传的主题〔是〕复活的基督在升天里,凭着那灵,借着门徒,为着产生众召会—神的国—的繁殖。这里有三个同义辞:繁殖、众召会、国。国就是众召会,众召会就是基督的繁殖。
18The subject of the book of Acts is the propagation of the resurrected Christ in His ascension, by the Spirit, through the disciples, for the producing of the churches—the kingdom of God. Here three words are synonyms: propagation, churches, and kingdom. The kingdom is the churches, and the churches are the propagation of Christ.
19我们对使徒行传的主题印象越深,就越会说,“主,我们敬拜你这位复活升天者。为着你的繁殖,我们赞美你。主,我们感谢你,我们乃是你今天的繁殖。感谢你,我们与你一同在诸天之上,众召会就是神的国。”让我们向全宇宙宣告:主耶稣现今是在诸天之上,祂这位被高举者,现今正借着我们作祂的见证人,在地上繁殖祂自己(使徒行传生命读经,一四、一七至一九页)。
19The more we are impressed with the subject of Acts, the more we will say, “Lord, we worship You as the resurrected One and the ascended One. We praise You for Your propagation. We thank You, Lord, that we are Your propagation today. We thank You that we are with You in the heavens and that the churches are the kingdom of God.” Let us declare to the whole universe that the Lord Jesus is now in the heavens and that as the exalted One, He is now propagating Himself on earth through us as His witnesses. (Life-study of Acts, pp. 11, 13-15)

今日要点
21主题:神的国乃是使徒行传中使徒们传讲的主题
21
22引经:徒一3徒八12
22
231.神的国乃是使徒行传中使徒们传讲的主题:
23
24a.行传的开始与结束的记载,都说到神的国,可以说,神的国乃是使徒行传中使徒们传讲的主题,徒一3说,『祂受害之后,用许多确据,将自己活活的显给使徒看,四十天之久向他们显现,讲说神国的事』,这指明神的国乃是使徒们在五旬节后的使命中,所要传讲的主题。
24
25B.徒八12也说,『及至他们信了腓力所传神的国和耶稣基督之名的福音,连男带女就受了浸』,腓力所传的内容,就是神的国,所以无论是主,或是使徒们,都教导国度的事,因为信徒若不认识国度的事,就很难被带领进入召会。
25
262.神的国乃是一个人位,就是主耶稣基督自己:
26
27A.事实上,神的国这个主题与主分不开,神的国不是眼睛所能见之物质的范围,实际上,神的国乃是一个人位,就是主耶稣基督自己,并且,行传所提到的神的国,与众召会是并行的,由复活基督的繁殖所产生的众召会,乃是今天在地上神的国。
27
28B.我们可以用人的国为例,说明神的国就是基督的扩大,起初,只有一个人,就是亚当,然后,人的国扩大为一对夫妇,这对夫妇生了孩子,人的国就从一个人扩大成为一个家,如今全人类都是人国的一部分,人的国就是人类,就是亚当的扩大,而神的国就是神的扩大,而神的具体化身就是基督,基督的扩大就是召会。
28
29应用:每周分别时间,有分福音的传扬,不是宗教的义务,而是让神有路,使人能够重生而入神国的门,并借着喂养使其神圣生命得以长大发展,让主得以在人里面掌权,使复活的基督得以繁殖。
