纲目
1四 那是我们榜样的基督,如今就是我们里面的生命——西三4

2
32 我们有钉十字架的基督为我们的榜样,这榜样就是我们里面钉十字架的生命——加二20

19西三4 基督是我们的生命,祂显现的时候,你们也要与祂一同显现在荣耀里。
19Col. 3:4 When Christ our life is manifested, then you also will be manifested with Him in glory.
20加二20 我已经与基督同钉十字架;现在活着的,不再是我,乃是基督在我里面活着;并且我如今在肉身里所活的生命,是我在神儿子的信里,与祂联结所活的,祂是爱我,为我舍了自己。
20Gal. 2:20 I am crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live in faith, the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.
21〔腓立比二章五至八节〕所陈明的榜样,如今就是我们里面的生命,我们称这生命为钉十字架的生命。基督降卑的七步是钉十字架生命的各方面。虽然基督有神格的彰显,祂却把这个彰显摆在一边。然而祂没有丢弃祂神格的实际。祂撇弃了较高的形状—神的形状,取了非常低的形状—奴仆的形状。祂是这样倒空自己。这当然是十字架生命的印记。祂成为人且显为人的样子之后,就降卑自己,以至于死,且死在十字架上。这就是钉十字架的生命,完满且绝对的活了出来(腓立比书生命读经,一○五页)。
21The pattern presented in [Philippians 2:5-8] is now the life within us. This life is what we call a crucified life. The seven steps of Christ’s humiliation are all aspects of the crucified life. Although Christ had the expression of deity, He laid aside this expression. However, He did not lay aside the reality of His deity. He laid aside the higher form, the form of God, and took on a much lower form, the form of a slave. In this, He emptied Himself. Surely this is a mark of a crucified life. Then, after becoming a man and being found in the appearance of a man, Christ humbled Himself even unto the death of the cross. This was the crucified life lived out in a full and absolute way. (Lifestudy of Philippians, p. 88)

22基督不仅是我们外面的榜样,祂也是我们里面的生命。祂是这个内里的生命,要叫我们经历祂,因而活出钉十字架的生命。在这个钉十字架的生命里,私图好争、贪图虚荣或自我高举都没有地位。相反的,这里只有倒空自己,只有降卑自己。每当我们经历基督并活基督时,我们不知不觉就活出这种钉十字架的生命。这意思是说,当我们活基督时,我们就是活那作钉十字架生命之榜样的一位。那么,我们也就会倒空自己并降卑自己了。
22Christ is not only an outward pattern for us; He is also the life within us. As this inner life, He would have us experience Him and thereby live a crucified life. In this crucified life there is no room for rivalry, vainglory, or self-exaltation. On the contrary, there is self-emptying and self-humbling. Whenever we experience Christ and live Christ, we automatically live such a crucified life. This means that when we live Christ, we live the One who is the pattern of a crucified life. Then we also will empty ourselves and humble ourselves.
23唯有钉十字架的生命才能活出这个榜样。如果我们的行事仍有私图好争、贪图虚荣,或者还有野心要作头,我们就不是活钉十字架的生命,我们就没有倒空自己,也没有降卑自己。然而,我们里面的确有能倒空自己并降卑自己的生命;这个生命从来不以什么东西为强夺之珍而紧持不放;相反的,它总是乐意舍弃地位、舍弃头衔。……当腓立比二章的榜样成为我们里面的生命时,这榜样就成了我们的救恩,我们就从私图好争与贪图虚荣中蒙拯救。如果腓立比人不愿意照着这榜样生活,他们就不能使保罗的喜乐满足。他仍然会为他们的私图好争、贪图虚荣担心。但是,如果他们愿意过钉十字架的生活,就是一再倒空自己、降卑自己、不以任何事物为强夺之珍而紧持不放的生活,他们就会对基督有真实的经历。他们经历基督作这样的榜样和里面的生命,就会叫使徒极其喜乐。
23Only the crucified life can live such a pattern. If we still do things out of rivalry and vainglory or are still ambitious to be leaders, we are not living a crucified life. We are not emptying ourselves or humbling ourselves. However, we have a life within us that truly is a self-emptying and selfhumbling life. This life never grasps at something as a treasure. Instead, it is always willing to lay aside position and title. When the pattern in Philippians 2 becomes our inward life, the pattern becomes our salvation. Then we are saved from rivalry and vainglory. If the Philippians were not willing to live according to this pattern, they could not make Paul’s joy full. He would still be troubled by their rivalry and vainglory. But if they were willing to live the crucified life, a life that always empties itself and humbles itself, not grasping anything as a treasure, they would have the genuine experience of Christ. Their experience of Christ as such a pattern and inward life would make the apostle extremely happy. (The Conclusion of the New Testament, p. 3492)
24我们过钉十字架的生活,就表明我们对使徒们有在基督里的鼓励、爱的安慰、灵的交通以及慈心和怜恤。……保罗在监狱中并不在乎别人怎样对待他,他所关切的乃是信徒有没有接受基督作他们的榜样,并且过钉十字架的生活(腓立比书生命读经,一○五至一○七页)。
24Living a crucified life shows that toward the apostles we have encouragement in Christ, consolation of love, fellowship of spirit, and tenderheartedness and compassion…Paul was not concerned with how he was treated by others. His concern was whether or not the believers would take Christ as their pattern and live a crucified life. (Life-study of Philippians, p. 89)
25保罗在腓立比二章三至四节说,“凡事都不私图好争,也不贪图虚荣,只要心思卑微,各人看别人比自己强;各人不单看重自己的长处,也看重别人的。”保罗在五节继续说,“你们里面要思念基督耶稣里面所思念的。”这节指明,基督耶稣里面所思念的应当成为我们里面所思念的。五节所说你们里面要思念的,是指三节的“看”和四节的“看重”。当基督倒空自己,取了奴仆的形状,显为人的样子,并且降卑自己(7~8)的时候,祂里面也有这种思念和心思。要有这样的心思,我们需要在基督的心肠里(一8)与祂是一。要经历基督,我们需要到一个地步,就是在祂内在柔细的感觉和思想里与祂是一(新约总论第十二册,一二至一三页)。
25In Philippians 2:3-4 Paul says, “Doing nothing by way of selfish ambition nor by way of vainglory, but in lowliness of mind considering one another more excellent than yourselves; not regarding each his own virtues, but each the virtues of others also.” In verse 5 Paul goes on to say, “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.” This verse indicates that the mind that was in Christ Jesus should be in us. This in verse 5 refers to considering in verse 3 and regarding in verse 4. This kind of thinking, this kind of mind, was also in Christ when He emptied Himself, taking the form of a slave, and humbled Himself, being found in fashion as a man (vv. 7-8). To have such a mind requires us to be one with Christ in His inward parts (1:8). To experience Christ, we need to be one with Him to this extent, that is, in His tender, inward feeling and in His thinking. (The Conclusion of the New Testament, pp. 3489-3490)

今日要点
27主题:榜样基督如今就是我们里面的生命
27
28引经:西三4加二20
28
291.榜样基督如今就是我们里面的生命:
29
30A.我们为什么能够说,我们的榜样基督是主观、可经历的,乃是因着祂如今是我们的生命,腓二5~8节所陈明的榜样,就是我们里面的生命,我们称这生命为钉十字架的生命,借着祂的七部降卑,就把这钉十字架的生命完满且绝对的活了出来,今天西三4说,『基督是我们的生命,祂显现的时候,你们要与祂一同显现在荣耀里』。
30
31B.在钉十字架的生命里,私图好争、贪图虚荣都没有地位,并且使我们能够倒空自己、降卑自己,保罗在加二20说,『我已经与基督同钉十字架;现在活着的,不再是我,乃是基督在我里面活着;并且我如今在肉身里所活的生命,是我在神儿子的信里,与祂联结所活的,祂是爱我,为我舍了自己』,当我们活这生命,并以钉十字架的生命为我们的榜样,就能开启复活之门,带我们进入复活的大能里。
31
322.以榜样基督的心思为心思:
32
33A.我们若要以基督为我们的榜样,我们就需要操练腓二5,以基督的心思为我们的心思,保罗不只在外面以基督为生活,以基督为彰显,也在里面以基督的心思为心思,当我们说基督的心思在我们里面,意思就是基督的心思是活的,基督的心思其实就是基督自己,因为基督的人位显明在基督的心思里。
33
34B.所以我们要以基督为我们的人位,好以基督的心思为我们的心思,也就是要让基督耶稣里面所思念的住在我们里面,这反映在腓二5的上下文,根据脉络,这里的思念,是指三节的看和四节的看重,我们的思念总是看自己比别人强,也只看重自己的长处,保罗在基督的心肠里与祂是一,而劝信徒要有这样的心思。
34
35应用:每当我们经历基督并活基督时,我们就会不知不觉的活出这钉十字架的生命,而自然而然地倒空自己、降卑自己,我们就自然而然会顾到圣徒的情形,甚至不合理的对待,而使我们在基督内在柔细的感觉和思想里与祂是一。
