1读经:腓二5~11

纲目
2壹 我们要经历基督并活基督,就必须认识祂作我们的榜样,并以祂为我们的榜样——腓二5~11
2
3一 在腓立比二章五至十一节,保罗陈明基督为榜样;我们必须让这榜样灌注到我们里面。
3
4二 基督徒生活的榜样,乃是这位倒空自己并降卑自己,又被神高举并荣耀的神人救主——6~9节:
4
51 主虽然与神同等,但祂不以此为强夺之珍,紧持不放;祂倒空自己,将祂所有的,就是神的形状,摆在一边——6~7节上。
5
62 主成为肉体时,没有改变祂的神性,只将祂外面的彰显,由神的形状变成奴仆的形状——7节。
6
73 主成为“人的样式”——7节下~8节上:
7
8a 神的形状,含示基督神格内在的实际;人的样式,指基督人性外在的表现。
8
9b 祂外面显于人的是人,但祂里面却有神格的实际,就是神。
9
10c 基督进入人性的情况,显为人的样子。
10
114 基督降卑自己,顺从至死——死在十字架上——8节下:
11
12a 降卑自己,是进一步的倒空自己。
12
13b 基督的降卑自己,显明祂的倒空自己。
13
14c 十字架的死,是基督降卑的极点——徒八33腓三21
14
155 主降卑自己到了极点,神却将祂升为至高,又赐给祂“那超乎万名之上的名”——二9
15
16a 神高举耶稣这真人为万人的主——徒二32~33五31
16
17b 基督这样得高举,乃是复活大能的显明。
17
18c 宇宙间至高的名,至大的名,乃是耶稣的名:
18
19㈠ 这名乃是主耶稣在祂身位和工作上,一切所是之总和的表明。
19
20㈡ 在耶稣的名里,意即在主一切所是的范围和元素里——腓二10
20
21d 我们承认耶稣是主,结果使父神得荣耀;这是基督在祂的身位和工作上,一切所是并所作的伟大结果——11节,林前十五24~28
21
22三 这个榜样的原则就是,一个有最高生命和地位的人,却宁愿过低微的生活。

23腓二5~8 你们里面要思念基督耶稣里面所思念的:祂本有神的形状,不以自己与神同等为强夺之珍,紧持不放,反而倒空自己,取了奴仆的形状,成为人的样式;既显为人的样子,就降卑自己,顺从至死,且死在十字架上。
23Phil. 2:5-8 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus, who, existing in the form of God, did not consider being equal with God a treasure to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a slave, becoming in the likeness of men; and being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, becoming obedient even unto death, and that the death of a cross.
24腓立比……一章〔的中心点〕是显大基督、活基督(20~21)。二章是以基督作我们的榜样、模型。这榜样乃是我们救恩(12)的标准。五至十六节启示,生命的话借着运行的神作出模型,将救恩应用到我们日常的生活中。我们就是这样享受基督并活基督,以祂为我们的模型。
24In Philippians 1 the central point is to magnify Christ, to live Christ (vv. 20-21). In chapter 2 it is to take Christ as our pattern, our model. This pattern is the standard of our salvation (v. 12). Verses 5 through 16 reveal that the word of life works out the pattern by the operating God in order to apply salvation to our daily living. In this way we enjoy Christ and live Him, taking Him as our pattern. (The Conclusion of the New Testament, p. 3489)
25〔二章六节的〕“有”,直译,存于。原文意,从太初存在;含示主在已过的永远就存在了。“形状”这辞不是指神所是的样子,乃是指神所是的彰显(来一3),与神人位的素质和性质相合。因此彰显祂的素质和性质。这是说到基督的神格。
25[In Philippians 2:6] the Greek word rendered “existing” denotes existing from the beginning. It implies the Lord’s eternal preexistence. The word form refers to the expression, not the fashion, of God’s being (Heb. 1:3). It is identified with the essence and nature of God’s person and thus expresses His essence and nature. This refers to Christ’s deity.
26主虽然与神同等,却没有紧持自己与神同等,祂不以此为强夺之珍,紧持不放〔腓二6〕;反而将神的形状(并非神的性情)摆在一边,并且倒空自己,取了奴仆的形状(新约总论第十二册,一二至一三页)。
26Although the Lord was equal with God, He did not consider being equal with God a treasure to be grasped and retained [Phil. 2:6]. Rather, He laid aside the form of God, not the nature of God, and emptied Himself, taking the form of a slave. (Life-study of Philippians, p. 86)

27腓立比二章七节继续说到基督“倒空自己,取了奴仆的形状,成为人的样式”。基督倒空自己的时候,就将祂所有的,就是神的形状,摆在一边。七节的形状与六节者同。主成为肉体时,没有改变祂的神性,只将祂外面的彰显,由最高的形状—神的形状,变成最低的形状—奴仆的形状。这不是素质的改变,乃是状态的改变。“成为”一辞,指明进入新的状态。
27Philippians 2:7 goes on to say that Christ “emptied Himself, taking the form of a slave, becoming in the likeness of men.” When Christ emptied Himself, He laid aside what He possessed—the form of God. The word form in verse 7 is the same word as used for the form of God in verse 6. In His incarnation the Lord did not alter His divine nature; He changed only His outward expression from the form of God, the highest form, to that of a slave, the lowest form. This was not a change of essence; it was a change of state. The word becoming indicates entering into a new state.
28神的形状,含示基督神格内在的实际;人的样式,指基督人性外在的表现。祂外面显于人的是人,但祂里面却有神格的实际,就是神。
28The form of God implies the inward reality of Christ’s deity; the likeness of men denotes the outward appearance of His humanity. He appeared to men as a man outwardly, but as God, He had the reality of deity inwardly.
29八节继续说,“既显为人的样子,就降卑自己,顺从至死,且死在十字架上。”当基督成为人的样式,进入人性的情况时,祂显为人的样子。“样子”含示外貌,外观;这是更详特的重复七节“样式”的意思。基督在祂人性里的外表,向人显为人的样子。
29Verse 8 continues, “And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, becoming obedient even unto death, and that the death of a cross.” When Christ became in the likeness of men, entering into the condition of humanity, He was found in fashion as a man. The word fashion implies the outward guise, the semblance. What Christ looked like in His humanity was found by men to be in fashion as a man.
30首先,祂倒空自己,把祂神格的形状,神格外面的彰显摆在一边,成为人的样式。然后,祂降卑自己,顺从至死。基督是神,本有神的彰显。虽然祂与神同等,祂却把这个同等摆在一边,倒空自己,取了人的样式。这指明借着成为肉体,祂成了一个人。然后,既显为人的样子,就降卑自己。这意思是说,当祂作人的时候,祂什么都不坚持,反而降卑自己,以至于死,且死在十字架上。这就是作我们榜样的基督。
30First, He emptied Himself by putting aside the form, the outward expression, of His deity and becoming in the likeness of men. Then He humbled Himself by becoming obedient even unto death. Christ was God with the expression of God. Although He was equal with God, He put aside this equality and emptied Himself by taking the likeness of men. This indicates that He became a man through incarnation. Then, being found in the appearance of a man, He humbled Himself. This means that when He was a man, He did not insist on anything. Rather, He humbled Himself to the point of dying on the cross. This is Christ as our pattern.
31基督的降卑自己,显明祂的倒空自己。十字架的死,是基督降卑的极点。对犹太人而言,这是咒诅(申二一22~23)。对外邦人而言,这是加在罪犯和奴隶身上的死刑(太二七16~1720~23)。因此这是件羞辱的事(来十二2)。
31Christ’s self-humbling manifested His self-emptying. The death of the cross was the climax of Christ’s humiliation. To the Jews this was a curse (Deut. 21:22-23). To the Gentiles it was a death sentence imposed upon malefactors and slaves (Matt. 27:16-17, 20-23). Hence, it was a shameful thing (Heb. 12:2).
32主的降卑有七步:倒空自己;取了奴仆的形状;成为人的样式;降卑自己;成为顺从的;顺从至死;且死在十字架上(腓立比书生命读经,一○三至一○五页)。
32The Lord’s humiliation involves seven steps: emptying Himself, taking the form of a slave, becoming in the likeness of men, humbling Himself, becoming obedient, being obedient even unto death, and being obedient unto the death of the cross. (Life-study of Philippians, pp. 86-88)

今日要点
34主题:认识基督作我们的榜样
34
35引经:腓二5~8
35
361.基督乃是降卑自己、倒空自己的一位:
36
37A.上一周说到我们若要经历、享受基督作我们的谦让宜人、神的平安、我们的秘诀,和那加我能力者,我们就需要这一周的信息,我们要经历基督并活基督,就必须认识基督是我们的榜样,并且我们要以基督为我们的榜样,在腓二5说,『你们里面要思念基督耶稣里面所思念的』,思念基督耶稣里面所思念的,也就是学基督,以基督为榜样,我们必须让这榜样灌注到我们里面。
37
38B.基督徒生活的榜样,乃是5节之后,6~8节所说的,『祂本有神的形状,不以自己与神同等为强夺之珍,紧持不放,反而倒空自己,取了奴仆的形状,成为人的样式;既显为人的样子,就降卑自己,顺从至死,且死在十字架上』,后面经文接着说到,这位榜样,也是被神高举并荣耀的神人救主。
38
392.主由神的形状变成奴仆的形状:
39
40A.主虽与神同等,却倒空自己,将祂所有的,就是神的形状摆在一边,这意思是,当主成为肉体时,没有改变祂里面的神性,只将祂外面的彰显,由神的形状改变成奴仆的形状,也就是说,祂外面显出人的样式,里面却有神格的实际,并且降卑自己,顺从至死,且死在十字架上,降卑自己,是进一步的倒空,而十字架的死,则是基督降卑的极点。
40
41B.主降卑自己到了极点,而神却将祂升为至高,又赐给祂那超乎万名之上的名,这不是基督自己所作所为,而是神所高举,高举耶稣这真人为主,这样的得高举,乃是复活大能的显明,当我们承认耶稣是主,结果使父神得着荣耀,因此从这段经文我们看见,这个榜样的原则乃是,一个有最高生命和地位的人,却宁愿过低微的生活。
41
42应用:我们需要看见主不以自己所有的为强夺之珍,反而为着父纯全的旨意,甘愿降卑自己、倒空自己的榜样,而操练活里面主的生命,而使我们能够低肩背重,谦卑服事圣徒,而成就神的旨意。
