纲目
1叁 我们需要看见,神要为自己产生配偶,就作了些什么;创世记二章启示在亚当与夏娃的预表里一幅基督与祂新妇的图画:
1
2一 亚当预表神在基督里是真正、宇宙的丈夫,正为祂自己寻找妻子——罗五14,参约三29林后十一2弗五31~32启十九7~9二一9~11
2
3二 “耶和华神说,那人独居不好,我要为他造一个帮助者作他的配偶”——创二18
3
41 亚当需要妻子,预表并描绘神在祂的经纶里,需要得着妻子作祂的配偶,祂的补满(直译,与祂配对者);虽然神,基督,是绝对而永远的完全,但没有召会作祂的妻子,祂就不完整。
4
52 神渴望得着预表基督的亚当,和预表召会的夏娃;祂的目的是要“使他们管理”;(一26;)就是要得着一位得胜的基督加上一个得胜的召会,一位胜过魔鬼工作的基督加上一个推翻魔鬼工作的召会;神乃是要基督与召会掌权。(罗五17十六20弗一22~23。)
5
6三 神用土造了野地各样的走兽,和空中各样的飞鸟,并将这一切带到亚当面前,“那人便给一切的牲畜、空中的飞鸟、和野地各样的走兽都起了名,只是亚当没有找到一个帮助者作他的配偶”——创二19~20
6
7四 妻子在生命、性情和彰显上,必须与丈夫一样一式;在牲畜、飞鸟和走兽中,亚当找不着他自己的补满,就是能与他相配的——23节。

8创二18 耶和华神说,那人独居不好,我要为他造一个帮助者作他的配偶。
8Gen. 2:18 And Jehovah God said, It is not good for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper as his counterpart.
920 那人便给一切的牲畜、空中的飞鸟、和野地各样的走兽都起了名,只是亚当没有找到一个帮助者作他的配偶。
920 And the man gave names to all cattle and to the birds of heaven and to every animal of the field, but for Adam there was not found a helper as his counterpart.
10神是要得着亚当和夏娃〔参创二18〕。神的目的是要得着一个得胜的基督,加上一个得胜的召会;神的目的是要得着一个胜过魔鬼工作的基督,加上一个推翻魔鬼工作的召会;神的目的是要得着一个掌权的基督,和一个掌权的召会。这是神所预定的事。神在祂心里这样定规,这是神为着祂自己的称心而作的,这是神为着祂自己的快乐而作的。……神要有一个基督,祂也要有一个与基督一样的召会。神不只要基督掌权,并且要召会和基督一同掌权。神容许魔鬼在地上,因为祂说,“使他们〔基督与召会〕管理。”〔一26〕神定意召会作基督的配偶,要有分于对付撒但。召会若不是与基督相配,神的定旨就无法达成。就是在荣耀里,基督也需要伴侣。基督争战需要伴侣,得荣耀也需要伴侣。神所要求于召会的,是一切和基督一样。神要基督有一个伴侣(倪柝声文集第二辑第十四册,三○至三一页)。
10God desired to have both Adam and Eve [cf. Gen. 2:18]. His purpose is to have a victorious Christ plus a victorious church, a Christ who has overcome the work of the devil plus a church which has overthrown the work of the devil. His purpose is to have a ruling Christ and a ruling church. This is what God planned for His own pleasure, and He has performed it for His own satisfaction…God desired to have Christ, and God also desired to have a church which is exactly like Christ. God not only desired that Christ would have dominion; He also wants the church to have dominion. God allows the devil on earth because He said, “Let them,” Christ and the church, “have dominion” [1:26]. God purposed that the church, as Christ’s counterpart, should take part in dealing with Satan. If the church does not match Christ, God’s purpose will not be fulfilled. In warfare Christ needs a help meet, and even in glory He also needs a help meet. God requires the church to be the same as Christ in every respect. It is God’s desire that Christ should have a help meet. (CWWN, vol. 34, “The Glorious Church,” p. 26)

11虽然人是完全的,但不完整。正如人的头是完全的,但没有身体就不完整。……〔一个人〕虽然完全,但需要另一半使他完整。……夫妻好像两个一半的西瓜,合在一起才是完整的一体。这就是为什么我经常告诉年轻人要结婚。你若不结婚,你虽然完全,却不完整。因此当神看亚当的时候,祂似乎说,“亚当,你是完全的,但你只是一半。你太孤单了,我要给你造一个补满,我要给你造一个配偶。”
11Although man was perfect, he was not complete. For example, a human head is perfect, but without the body it is incomplete…Although [a person] is perfect, he needs a counterpart to complete him…A man and wife, resembling the two halves of a watermelon, together make a complete unit. This is why I frequently tell the young people to get married. If you are unmarried, though you may be a perfect person you are incomplete. Thus, as God looked at Adam, He seemed to say, “Adam, you are perfect, but you are only a half a unit. You are too lonely. I will make a complement for you. I will make you a counterpart.”
12男人是神这位真正宇宙丈夫的预表。神在没有得着正确的人之前,祂是孤单的。神独居不好。虽然神是绝对而永远的完全,却不完整。说神不完全是亵渎。我们的神是永远完全的。但无论如何,没有召会祂不完整。没有召会,祂就像丈夫没有妻子,就像头没有身体。所以当神说亚当独居不好,意思就是说祂自己不完整,祂独居不好。亚当需要一个妻子,预表并描述神需要一个补满。我们若看见这点,创世记二章各方面就都清楚了。
12Man is a type of God, the real, universal Husband. Before God had secured the proper man, He was alone. It was not good for God to be alone. Although God is absolutely and eternally perfect, He is not complete. To say that God is imperfect is to speak blasphemy. Our God is eternally perfect. Nevertheless, without the church He is incomplete. Without the church He is like a husband without a wife or like a head without a body. Therefore, when God said that it was not good for Adam to be alone, it meant that God Himself was incomplete and that it was not good for Him to be alone. Adam’s need for a wife typifies and portrays God’s need to have a complement. If we see this, every aspect of Genesis 2 will be clear.
13神用土造了野地各样的走兽,和空中各样的飞鸟,并将这一切带到亚当面前(19)。神带一匹马到亚当面前,亚当也许说,“这是一匹马。这个动物绝不能与我相配,因为它有四条腿,我有两只脚。”神带一头牛到亚当面前,亚当也许说,“这是一头牛。它有两只角。它不像我,不能作我的补满。”神将一样一样的动物都带到亚当面前,亚当给一切的牲畜、空中的飞鸟和野地的走兽都起了名,但他在它们中间找不到一个可作他的补满(20),找不到一个配得上他。虽然亚当有智慧给各样活物起名,他似乎说,“它们都离我太远,它们不像我,我怎能以其中任何一个作为配偶?”亚当为各样活物起名之后,就着一面说,他失望了。在一切受造之物中,他竟找不到一个与他相配,作他补满的。但神清楚地知道祂在作什么(创世记生命读经,二六五至二六六页)。
13Out of the ground God formed every beast of the field and every fowl of the air and brought them to Adam (Gen. 2:19). When God brought a horse to Adam, perhaps Adam said, “This is a horse. This animal can never match me because it has four feet and I have two.” When God brought a cow before Adam, perhaps Adam said, “This is a cow. It has two horns. It does not resemble me and it cannot be a complement to me.” God brought item after item to Adam, and Adam gave names to all the cattle, to all the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field, but he did not find among them a complement for himself (Gen. 2:20), one that could match him. Although Adam, having wisdom, named all the creatures, he seemed to say, “All of them are far removed from me. They don’t look like me. How can I have any of them as my counterpart?” After fulfilling the task of naming all the creatures, Adam, in a sense, was disappointed. Among the entire creation he could not find one to match him, to complement him. However, God knew exactly what He was doing. (Life-study of Genesis, pp. 216-217)

今日要点
15主题:为着产生新妇,神为基督寻找配偶
15
16引经:创二1820
16
171.为着产生新妇,神为基督寻找配偶:
17
18a.我们需要看见,神要为自己产生配偶,就作了些什么,见于创世记二章,这一章启示在亚当与夏娃的预表里一幅基督与祂新妇的图画,亚当预表神在基督里是真正、宇宙的丈夫,在创二18说,『耶和华说,那人独居不好,我要为他造一个帮助者作他的配偶』,这描绘神需要得着妻子作为配偶和补满。
18
19B.倪柝声弟兄说,神是要得着亚当和夏娃,神的目的是要得着一个得胜的基督,加上一个得胜的召会,神的目的是要得着一个胜过魔鬼工作的基督,加上一个推翻魔鬼工作的召会,神的目的是要得着一个掌权的基督,和一个掌权的召会,召会若不是与基督相配,神的定旨就无法达成,神所要求于召会的,是一切和基督一样。
19
202.配偶必须与丈夫一式一样:
20
21a.接着神用土造了野地各样的走兽,和空中各样的飞鸟,并将这一切带到亚当面前,在创二20说,『那人便给一切的牲畜、空中的飞鸟、和野地各样的走兽都起了名,只是亚当没有找到一个帮助者作他的配偶』,似乎亚当很失望,在一切受造之物中,他竟然找不到一个与他相配,作他补满的。
21
22B.为什么呢?因为妻子在生命、性情和彰显上必须与丈夫一式一样,为此,神要为自己产生一个补满,就首先成为人,由神创造亚当所预表,神使亚当沉睡,表征基督为得着召会而上十字架,并借着神永远的生命来建造召会作基督的新妇,成为祂的配偶,作祂的补满,好完成神的定旨。
22
23应用:若不进入婚姻,我们虽然完全,却不完整,借着进入婚姻生活,我们就会学功课,看见自己只有一半,需要另一半作补满,而使我们能够体会基督需要召会作为祂的补满。
