纲目
1贰 主在恢复里主要的工作乃是主真正的工作,为要预备我们作祂荣耀的新妇;没有以弗所五章二十六节里所说,不断在性情上的圣化,新妇就无法预备好,启示录十九章七至九节也就无法应验:
1
2一 召会借着圣别的过程被美化,这是借着基督作为赐生命的灵,借着祂话中之水的洗涤洁净我们——弗五26~27
2
31 这指明在基督的话里有那灵作生命的水;祂对我们所说的话,就是灵,就是生命——约六63
3
42 基督作为赐生命的灵,是说话的灵;祂所说的一切就是洗涤我们的话;这不是指娄格斯(logos),常时的话,乃是指雷玛(rhema),即时的话,就是主现今对我们所说的话——太四4约六63启二7二二17上,参赛六9~10太十三14~15徒二八25~31
4
53 基督的说话就是那灵;祂的说话就是赐生命之灵的同在——约六63弗六17
5
64 内住的基督作为赐生命的灵,常说即时、现时、活的话,新陈代谢地洗去旧的,代之以新的,而产生内里的变化。
6
7二 借着这样洗涤的过程,我们就被基督浸透并美化,成为祂圣别、美丽、彰显神的新妇,就是没有瑕疵或不完全之处的新妇——启十九7,参歌六13八13~14
7
8三 基督作为赐生命的灵,借着话中之水的洗涤洁净召会,而圣化召会;照着神圣的观念,这里的“水”是指神涌流的生命,由涌流的水所象征;(出十七6林前十4约七37~39启七17二一6二二117;)我们现今正在这洗涤的过程中,使召会能成为圣别、没有瑕疵。
8
9四 以弗所五章二十六节里“洗涤”的原文,直译是“洗濯盆”;旧约的祭司用洗濯盆洗去他们属地的污秽;(出三十18~21;)一天过一天,在早晨在晚间,我们都需要来就近圣经,借着话中之水的洗濯盆而得洁净。
9
10五 保罗说到话带着其洗涤的过程时,(弗五26,)原文是用“雷玛”这辞;娄格斯是神记在圣经里客观一面的话;雷玛是神在专特情况中向我们说出来的话。(可十四72路一35~38五5二四1~8。)
10
11六 雷玛是对我们有切身、直接的启示,要给我们看见应当对付的是什么,应当洗净的是什么;(铜洗濯盆是一面能返照人、暴露人的镜子——出三八8;)对于我们各人,要紧的乃是:神今天有没有对我说祂的话?
11
12七 有一件事我们一直宝贵的,就是主今天仍然向我们切身、直接地说话;在生命里真实的长大在于我们从神直接领受话;唯有祂在我们里面的说话才有真实属灵的价值——来三7~1115四7诗九五7~8
12
13八 我们祷告的中心点,该是我们切慕有主的说话,这使我们能按照祂心头的愿望达成祂永远经纶的目标,就是得着一个新妇作祂的配偶——启二7,参撒上三121摩三7
13
14九 实际说来,主的同在与祂的说话乃是一;每当祂说话时,我们就知道祂在我们里面与我们同在;基督的说话就是赐生命之灵的同在。
14
15十 内住的基督作为赐生命的灵在我们里面的说话,就是洁净的水,把新的元素储存到我们里面,顶替我们本性和性情里老旧的元素;这新陈代谢的洁净,使人在生命里有真正、内里的改变,这就是在性情上圣化和变化的实际。
15
16十一 我们必须被我们灵里基督这赐生命、说话的灵所美化;借着作赐生命之灵的主在我们里面说话,我们渐渐成为祂荣耀的召会——弗五26~27启二7
16

17约七38~39 信入我的人,……从他腹中要流出活水的江河来。耶稣这话是指着……那灵说的……。
17John 7:38-39 He who believes into Me,…out of his innermost being shall flow rivers of living water. But this He said concerning the Spirit…
18启二二17 那灵和新妇说,来!听见的人也该说,来!口渴的人也当来;愿意的都可以白白取生命的水喝。
18Rev. 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come! And let him who hears say, Come! And let him who is thirsty come; let him who wills take the water of life freely.
19保罗在以弗所五章二十六节说,基督圣化召会,是借着话中之水的洗涤洁净召会。照着神圣的观念,这里的水是指神涌流的生命,由涌流的水所象征(……约七38~39启二一6二二117)。这水的洗涤与基督救赎之血的洗净不同。救赎的血,洗去我们的罪(约壹一7启七14);而生命的水,乃洗去我们旧人天然生命的瑕疵,就如“斑点、皱纹、或任何这类的病”(弗五27)。主圣别并圣化召会,首先用祂的血洗去我们的罪(来十三12),然后用祂的生命洗去我们天然的瑕疵。我们现今正在这洗涤的过程中,使召会能“成为圣别、没有瑕疵”(以弗所书生命读经,五五一至五五二页)。
19In Ephesians 5:26 Paul says that Christ sanctifies the church by cleansing her by the washing of the water in the word. According to the divine concept, water here refers to the flowing life of God, which is typified by flowing water (…John 7:38-39; Rev. 21:6; 22:1,17). The washing of the water here is different from the washing of the redeeming blood of Christ. The redeeming blood washes away our sins (1 John 1:7; Rev. 7:14), whereas the water of life washes away the blemishes of the natural life of our old man, such as “spot or wrinkle or any such things” (Eph. 5:27). In separating and sanctifying the church, the Lord first washes away our sins with His blood (Heb. 13:12) and then washes away our natural blemishes with His life. We are now in such a washing process, that the church may be holy and without blemish. (Lifestudy of Ephesians, p. 445)

Today’s Reading
20洁净就是圣化。生命水洗涤的洁净乃是在话里。以弗所五章二十六节的“话”,原文指即时的话。内住的基督是赐生命的灵,常说即时、现时、活的话,新陈代谢地洗去旧的,代之以新的,而产生内里的变化。这指明话里有生命的水,这是由祭坛和帐幕之间的洗濯盆所预表的(出三八8四十7)。以弗所五章二十六节的“洗涤”,原文的意思是“洗濯盆”(七十士译本用这个希腊字,翻译希伯来文的“洗濯盆”)。旧约的祭司用洗濯盆洗去他们属地的污秽(出三十18~21)。现今这洗濯盆,就是洗涤的水,也洗去我们的污秽。
20The cleansing is the sanctifying. The cleansing by the washing of the water of life is in the word. The Greek word for word in Ephesians 5:26 denotes an instant word. The indwelling Christ as the life-giving Spirit is always speaking an instant, present, living word to metabolically cleanse away the old and replace it with the new, causing an inward transformation. This indicates that in the word there is the water of life, which is typified by the laver between the altar and the tabernacle (Exo. 38:8; 40:7). In Greek the word rendered “washing” in Ephesians 5:26 means “laver.” This Greek word is used in the Septuagint to translate the Hebrew word for laver. In the Old Testament, the priests washed themselves from earthly defilement in the laver (Exo. 30:1821). Now the laver, the washing of the water, washes us from defilement.
21实在说来,神的话就是洗濯盆。按照旧约,在帐幕里事奉神的祭司,必须借着祭坛上的血对付他们的罪,也必须借着洗濯盆的洗涤对付他们的污秽。我信保罗这里的观念乃是,召会是借着话中之水的洗濯盆而得洁净。阿利路亚,我们有真正的洗濯盆!(以弗所书生命读经,五五三页)。
21In a very real sense, the word of God is a laver. According to the Old Testament, the priests who served God in the tabernacle had to have their sins dealt with by the blood on the altar, and they had to have their defilement dealt with by washing in the laver. I believe that Paul’s concept here is that the church is cleansed by the laver of the water in the word. Hallelujah, we have the real laver! (Life-study of Ephesians, p. 446)
22在新约里有两个“话”字:一个是“娄格斯”(logos),就是普通所说的“话”;还有一个是“雷玛”(rhema),在圣经中也译作“话”。这两个辞有一点不同。“娄格斯”是指永远定规的东西,客观的东西……。“雷玛”是说出来的话。……“娄格斯”和“雷玛”虽然都是神的话,但前者是记在圣经里的神的话,后者是随时说出来的神的话。
22In the New Testament two Greek words are used to denote word. One is logos, referring to the word in a general sense; the other is rhema, which although translated as word in Scripture, means something quite different from logos. Logos refers both to things which have been eternally determined and to things used in an objective way…But rhema refers to words which are spoken…Both logos and rhema are the Word of God, but the former is God’s Word objectively recorded in the Bible, while the latter is the word of God spoken to us at a specific occasion.
23“雷玛”要使我们知道个人所摸着的是什么,要给我们看见应当对付的是什么,应当洗净的是什么。我们要追求这一个,我们基督徒生活就是靠着这一个。到底神对我说了什么话,到底神对我怎么说。……真实的长进是要从神那里直接得着话。神的工作是用祂的“雷玛”,神要对我们说话。……我们如果要在主的手中作一个有用处的人,我们就要有主对我们所说的话。……神借着话给我们有所看见,那一个说话会使我们圣别,那一个说话会使我们进步。……我们如果有“雷玛”,有神活的说话,我们就能被洗净成为圣别(倪柝声文集第二辑第十四册,六○至六一、六三、六八至六九页)。
23The rhema reveals something to us personally and directly; it shows us what we need to deal with and what we need to be cleansed from. We must specifically seek after this very matter, because our Christian life is based on this rhema. What word has God really spoken to us, and how has He spoken to us?…The important thing is this: Is God speaking that very word to us today? True growth depends upon our receiving the word directly from God. God is using His rhema to do His work, and He desires to speak to us…If we desire to be useful in the Lord’s hands, we must be spoken to by the Lord… When God speaks to us through His word, we are enlightened; through His word we are sanctified; and through His word we are made to grow…If we have rhema, the living word of God, we can be cleansed and sanctified. (CWWN, vol. 34, “The Glorious Church,” pp. 51-54, 57-58)

今日要点
25主题:经历话中之水的洗濯盆,成为荣耀的召会
25
26
271.经历话中之水的洗濯盆,成为荣耀的召会:
27
28A.接续周三,弗五26说到基督圣化召会,借着话中之水的洗涤洁净召会,因此,洁净就是圣化,生命水洗涤的洁净,乃是在话里,话里有生命的水,并且,话中之水的「洗涤」,这词的原文,是由定冠词加上盆子组成,直译是「那盆子」,对熟悉旧约的信徒而言,那盆子也就是遥指旧约的洗濯盆,七十士译本用这个希腊字来翻译希伯来文的洗濯盆。
28
29B.旧约的祭司用洗濯盆洗去属地的污秽,按本节的上下文,现今,信徒借着「那洗濯盆」,也就是洗涤的水,就除去一切斑点皱纹和这类的病,而成为圣别,作新妇献给基督,一天过一天,在早晨在晚间,我们都需要就近圣经,借着话中之水的洗濯盆而得着洁净,除去一切斑点、皱纹、和任何这类的病。
29
302.经历洗濯盆的两面功用-被暴露并享神同在:
30
31A.一面,真正带进洗涤的,还不是洗濯盆本身,而是盆里的水,也就是话中之水,保罗说到话带着洗涤的过程时,原文是用「雷玛」这词,这不是指客观、白纸黑字写成的话,而是指主观、对我们切身、直接的说话,应付我们当前需要的说话,另一面,洗濯盆是铜作的,像一个铜镜,铜表征审判,所以,经历话中之水的洗涤,暴露并返照人的光景。
31
32B.借着话中之水的洗涤,我们经历主的说话,而得到主的同在,实际说来,主的同在与祂的说话乃是一,每当祂说话,我们就知道祂在我们里面与我们同在,基督的说话,就是赐生命之灵的同在,因此,内住的基督作为赐生命之灵的说话,就是洁净的水,把新的元素储存到我们里面,顶替我们本性和性情里老旧的元素,带进新陈代谢,而使我们被变化成为美丽的新妇。
32
33应用:当我们分别时间晨兴时,我们需要将所祷读的圣经化作祷告,并且使这话能够解开发出亮光,当这光光照我们时,我们就需要经历这光的暴露和杀死我们的情形,必且受这光的引导,使我们珍赏主的所是与所作,特别是我们所没有的,还要在生活中「定住光」,也就是在生活中一再地受光照、受引导,而享受话中之水的洗濯盆。
