12西一28 我们宣扬祂,是用全般的智慧警戒各人,教导各人,好将各人在基督里成熟地献上。
12Col. 1:28 Whom we announce, admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom that we may present every man full-grown in Christ.
13来十二10 肉身的父是在短暂的日子里,照自己以为好的管教我们,唯有万灵的父管教我们,是为了我们的益处,使我们有分于祂的圣别。
13Heb. 12:10 For they disciplined for a few days as it seemed good to them; but He, for what is profitable that we might partake of His holiness.
14“成熟”一辞,在希腊文是一个字,其本意是终点……。新约圣经多次用此字,说到信徒在重生所得神生命上的长成、成熟并完全。……我们虽然在重生时,已经得着了神的生命,在重生后,我们还需要在这生命里长大成熟,以至于完全。
14The meaning of the word mature in Greek is “at the end point.” …This word is used many times in the New Testament, referring to the believers’ being full-grown, mature, and perfected in the life of God…Although we receive the life of God when we are regenerated, after regeneration we still need to grow and mature unto perfection in this life.
15歌罗西一章二十八节和四章十二节,都给我们看见,使徒们在基督里为信徒的劳苦工作,并他们为信徒的奋斗祷告,都是为要信徒能长大成熟,好将他们长大成熟地献陈在主面前(生命课程卷四,三四七、三四九页)。
15Colossians 1:28 and 4:12 show us that the laboring of the apostles in Christ for the believers and their struggling in prayers for them are all for the believers’ growth and maturity, that they may be presented and displayed full-grown and mature before Christ. (Life Lessons, vol. 4, pp. 69-70)

16圣灵的管治,并不是指着圣灵在我们里面管治我们说的,那是圣灵在我们里面作膏油所作的。圣灵的管治,乃是指着圣灵在我们外面的环境中,安排一切人、事、物,借以管治我们说的。
16The discipline of the Holy Spirit refers to what the Holy Spirit is doing in our outward environment; it refers to His arranging of all people, things, and happenings, through which we are being disciplined.
17神借着圣灵在我们身上所有的工作,除了圣灵在我们里面作膏油以外,就以圣灵在我们外面的管治为最主要了。……比方罗马八章,乃是专一说到圣灵工作的,八章前一段说圣灵如何含着生命的律,能释放我们脱离罪,使我们可以靠着祂治死身体的行为;又如何引导我们,叫我们得以照着祂而活;并怎样帮同担负我们的软弱,为我们代求。这些都是说到圣灵在我们里面作膏油的工作。到了后一段就说,“万有都互相效力,叫爱神的人得益处。”(28)这就是说到圣灵在我们外面环境中管治的工作。圣灵这些外面管治的工作,是为着配合祂在我们里面的运行和引导。祂是照着神的旨意,调度安排万事万物临到我们身上。虽然祂所安排的,多是叫我们一时感到痛苦、为难的,但至终总是叫爱神的人得着属灵的益处,就是得以逐渐模成神儿子荣耀的形像。这一个安排,就是我们所说的圣灵管治。
17The major work of God toward us through the Holy Spirit, aside from the Holy Spirit as the anointing, is in His outward discipline…For example, Romans 8, which speaks of the work of the Holy Spirit, first tells us that the Holy Spirit, which contains the law of life, is able to set us free from sin and that by Him we can put to death the practices of the body. This chapter also tells us that the Holy Spirit guides us so that we may live according to Him and finally, that He helps us in our weaknesses and prays for us. All these activities are the work of the Holy Spirit within us as the anointing. In the latter part of this chapter we read that “all things work together for good to those who love God” (v. 28). This speaks of the discipline of the Holy Spirit in our outward environment. The work of this outward discipline coordinates with His inward moving and leading. The Holy Spirit arranges and determines all that comes upon us according to the will of God. Although in many instances this causes temporal pain and trouble, in the end it is for the good of those who love God, that they may be conformed to the image of His Son. This arrangement is what we mean by the discipline of the Holy Spirit.
18圣灵在我们里面涂抹运行的时候,我们若顺从祂所给的感觉,神的旨意在我们身上就得以通行,神的成分在我们里面也得以增多。所以在顺服的人,有了圣灵在里面的涂抹,差不多就够了;但圣灵在我们里面有了涂抹,我们若强项不服,一再违背,圣灵就不得不在我们外面兴起环境,来管教我们,责打我们,使我们服下来。所以圣灵在我们里面的涂抹,乃是神爱心里一个甜美的举动,是出于神的本意;而圣灵在我们外面的管治,却是神手中一个迫不得已的作为,是神外添的工作(李常受文集一九五三年第三册,五八五至五八六页)。
18When the Holy Spirit moves and anoints within us and we obey the feeling that He imparts, God’s will is accomplished, and His attributes are increased within us. Therefore, the inward anointing of the Holy Spirit is to some extent sufficient for the obedient ones. However, if we are stubborn, if we do not obey the inner anointing and rebel time after time, the Holy Spirit is compelled to raise up an environment to chasten and discipline us, thereby causing us to submit. Therefore, the anointing of the Holy Spirit within us is a sweet act of God’s love toward us and is His original desire, while the outward discipline of the Holy Spirit is an act of God’s hand, an act that He is compelled to perform. (CWWL, 1953, vol. 3, “The Experience of Life,” pp. 429-430)
19成熟的问题在于度量的扩充。……逃躲一次神的安排,就是失去一次度量被扩充的机会……。信徒经过苦难之后,和以前绝不会一样;不是度量被扩充,就是更加刚硬了。所以信徒遭受苦难时需要注意,要看见生命成熟是接受圣灵管治的总和。人只看见那人生命成熟,却未看见那人历年逐日暗中所接受加起来的圣灵管治(倪柝声—今时代神圣启示的先见,一五一至一五二页)。
19Maturity is a matter of the enlargement of capacity…To escape God’s arrangement just one time is to lose an opportunity to have our capacity enlarged…A believer can never be the same after passing through suffering… For this reason, when believers are passing through suffering, they must pay attention and they must realize that maturity in life is the sum total of receiving the discipline of the Holy Spirit. People may see a person who has matured in life, but they cannot see the accumulated discipline of the Holy Spirit which that person has received secretly day by day throughout the years. (Watchman Nee—a Seer of the Divine Revelation in the Present Age, pp. 143-144)

今日要点
21主题:保罗尽职的目标,是要将人在基督里成熟的献上
21
22引经:西一28来十二10
22
231.保罗尽职的目标,是要将人在基督里成熟的献上:
23
24A西一28说,『我们宣扬祂,是用全般的智慧警戒各人,教导各人,好将各人在基督里成熟的献上』,这节启示了保罗尽职的目标,乃是要将各人在基督里成熟的献上,好为着一个新人,西一28「成熟的」一词,是形容词型态,也可译为完全的,或,完整的,新约圣经多次用此字,说到信徒在重生所得神生命上的长成、成熟并完全。
24
25b.保罗的职事乃是要将基督分赐到人里面,使他们在基督里长大成熟,得以完全并完整,能够达到生命长大的终点,使徒们在基督里为信徒的劳苦工作,并他们为信徒的奋斗祷告,都是要为信徒能长大成熟,好将他们长大成熟的献上、呈献神前,这样的献上,也就是以弗所五章,那个没有斑点、皱纹、各类病,献给主自己的新妇。
25
262.抓夺的雅各经过变化,成为生命成熟的以色列:
26
27a.创三七章至四七章是雅各成熟过程的记载,神在雅各身上的目标,就是要得着一个成熟的雅各,在创二七章,我们看见一个抓夺的人,在三七章我们看见一个变化的人,在四十七章我们看见一个成熟的人,变化的最后阶段就是成熟,就是生命的丰满,成熟也在于度量的扩充,而要达到成熟,我们就需要看见神在雅各身上圣灵的管治。
27
28b.来十二10说,『肉身的父是在短暂的日子里,照自己以为好的管教我们,惟有万灵的父管教我们,是为了我们的益处,使我们有分祂的圣别』,圣灵的管治,主要的是在我们外面的环境中,安排一切人、事、物,借以管治我们说的,这些都配合堔在我们里面的运行和引导,使我们的度量得扩充,而使生命达到成熟的地步,所以可以说,生命成熟乃是接受圣灵管治的总和。
28
29应用:我们每天都该恢复对主起初的爱,而成为爱神的人,好使神所调度安排的一切万事万物,临到我们身上的,无论是痛苦、为难的,都叫我们得着属灵的益处,经历圣灵的管治,而得以逐渐模成神儿子荣耀的形像,而成为成熟的新妇。
