12腓二6 祂本有神的形状,不以自己与神同等为强夺之珍,紧持不放。
12Phil. 2:6 Who, existing in the form of God, did not consider being equal with God a treasure to be grasped.
13约十四28 ……我去,并且我正往你们这里来。你们若爱我,因我往父那里去,就必喜乐,因为父比我大。
13John 14:28 …I am going away and I am coming to you. If you loved Me, you would rejoice because I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.
14神的话告诉我们,主耶稣与父原是一〔约十30〕。太初有话,像太初有神一样。话就是神,这话创造天和地。神在太初有荣耀,乃是人不能亲近的荣耀,这也就是子的荣耀。父和子是同等的、同能的、同有的、同时的。但在身位里有父和子的分别,这不是基本性质的分别,乃是神格中的一种安排。所以圣经说,主不以自己与神同等为强夺之珍(腓二6)。……主与神同等不是勉强的,不是插进去的,不是僭越的,因主本有神的形像(倪柝声文集第三辑第一册,一五四至一五五页)。
14The Word of God tells us that the Lord Jesus and the Father are one [John 10:30]. In the beginning was the Word, just as in the beginning there was God. The Word was God, and this Word created the heavens and earth. With God in the beginning there was glory. It was an inapproachable glory, the glory of the Son. The Father and the Son are equal, equipotent, coexisting, and existing simultaneously. But there is a difference in person between the Father and the Son. It is not a distinction in intrinsic nature but in arrangement in the Godhead. The Bible says that the Lord did not consider being equal with God a treasure to be grasped (Phil 2:6)…The Lord’s equality with God is not something that He assumed by force. It is not an assertion or a usurpation because the Lord had the image of God in the first place. (CWWN, vol. 47, “Authority and Submission,” p. 141)

15腓立比二章五至七节是一段,八至十一节又是一段。前段是论到基督的倒空自己,后段是论到基督的降卑自己。在此主有两次降卑,即在神格里倒空了自己,在人性里降卑了自己。主到地上来,是把祂神格中的荣耀、能力、等级、形像都倒空了,以致当时那些没有启示的人都不认识祂,不承认祂是神,以为祂不过是人,是世上一个平常的人。主在神位之中自己拣选作子,服在父的权柄底下,所以主说,“父比我大。”(约十四28)子的地位是主自己拣选的。在神格中满了和谐,同等的神,乐意安排父作头,子顺服;父变作权柄的代表,子变作顺服的代表。
15Philippians 2:5-7 forms one section, while verses 8-11 form another section. The first section is on Christ emptying Himself. The second section is on Christ humbling Himself. The Lord lowered Himself twice, first in emptying Himself in His deity, and then in humbling Himself in His humanity. When the Lord came down to earth, He emptied Himself of the glory, power, position, and image in His deity. As a result of His emptying, those without revelation did not recognize Him and would not acknowledge Him as God, considering Him merely as an ordinary man. In the Godhead the Lord voluntarily chose to be the Son, submitting Himself to the authority of the Father. Hence, He said that the Father was greater than He (John 14:28). The Son’s position was a voluntary choice of our Lord. In the Godhead there is full harmony. In the Godhead there is equality, yet it is happily arranged that the Father should be the Head and that the Son should submit. The Father became the representation of authority, and the Son became the representation of submission.
16主要顺服不简单,主的顺服比祂的创造天地还难,因为祂必须倒空一切神格的荣耀、能力等等,必先取了奴仆的形像,才配得到顺服的资格。所以顺服是神的儿子创造的。
16The Lord’s submission is not a simple matter. The Lord’s submission is more difficult than His creation of the heavens and the earth. In order to submit He had to empty Himself of all the glory, power, position, and image in His deity. He also had to take on the form of a slave. Only then could He receive the qualification of submission. Hence, submission is something created by the Son of God.
17主来到地上,一面把权柄丢掉,一面把顺服拿起来,存心要作奴仆,接受时间和空间的限制,作了一个人。不只到此,主又降卑自己,存心顺服,神格中的顺服是全宇宙中顶奇妙的事。因祂顺服以至于死,且死在十字架上,是痛苦的死,是羞辱的死,结果神将祂升为至高。
17When the Lord came down to earth, He dropped authority on the one hand and picked up submission on the other hand. He set His heart to become a slave, to be restricted in time and space as a man. But this is not all. The Lord humbled Himself, becoming obedient. The obedience in the Godhead is the most wonderful thing in the whole universe. He became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross, a painful and shameful death. In the end, God exalted Him to the highest.
18由于主创造了顺服,父就在神格里作了基督的头。权柄和顺服是神设立的,是从太初就有的。……基督就是顺服的原则,接受顺服的就是接受基督的原则。所以充满基督的人,也必定是充满了顺服。
18Because the Lord created submission, the Father became the Head to Christ in the Godhead. Both authority and submission were established by God…With Christ there is the principle of submission. Those who accept submission are accepting the principle of Christ. Hence, those who are filled with Christ will be filled with submission.
19今天人常问:“为什么要我顺服?”或者问:“我是弟兄,你也是弟兄,我为什么要顺服你?”其实人没有资格这样说……。基督就是代表顺服,并且代表完全的顺服,就如神的权柄是完全的一样。今天有人以为认识权柄,却没有顺服(倪柝声文集第三辑第一册,一五五至一五六页)。
19Today many ask, “Why do I have to submit?” They also ask, “Why do I have to submit to you? I am a brother, and you are a brother.” Actually, men do not have a right to say such things…Christ represents submission, a perfect submission, just as God’s authority is perfect authority. Today some think they know authority, but they do not know submission. (CWWN, vol. 47, “Authority and Submission,” pp. 141-143)
20参读:权柄与顺服,第五篇。

今日要点
21主题:我们需要认识子的顺服
21
22引经:腓二6约十四28
22
231.我们需要看见父的权柄和子的顺服:
23
24A.倪柝声弟兄说,权柄与顺服是神设立的,是从太初就有的,当主来到地上,主一面把权柄丢掉,一面把顺服拿起来,存心作奴仆,接受时间和空间的限制,在腓二6说,『祂本有神的形状,不以自己与神同等为强夺之珍,紧持不放』,这节说到主在神格里倒空自己,之后的经文说到主在人性里降卑自己,因此神格中的顺服是全宇宙中顶奇妙的事。
24
25B.在神格中满了和谐、同等的神,乐意安排父作头,子顺服,由于主创造了顺服,父就在神格里作了基督的头,因此,约十四28说到,『...我去,并且我正往你们这里来。你们若爱我,因我往父那里去,就必喜乐,因为父比我大』,这里的大与小,其实乃是说到子的顺服,父变作权柄的代表,而子变作顺服的代表。
25
262.充满基督,就能充满顺服:
26
27A.主要顺服并不简单,甚至主的顺服比创造天地还难,因为祂必须倒空一切神格的荣耀、能力...等等,必先取了奴仆的形像,才配得到顺服的资格,因此,基督就是顺服的原则,接受顺服的,就是接受基督的原则,所以一个充满基督的人,必定是充满了顺服的。
27
28B.今天人常问说,凭什么要我顺服?为什么不是对方顺服?或者丈夫用圣经说到妻子要顺服丈夫的话来表达自己才是权柄,其实人没有资格这样说,基督就是代表顺服,并且代表完全的顺服,就如神的权柄是完全的一样,很多人以为自己认识权柄,却没有顺服,一个真正认识顺服的人,才能作代表的权柄,没有学顺服功课的人,不能作神代表的权柄。
28
29应用:我们需要祷告主,愿主开启我们的眼睛,使我们看见子基督顺服的榜样,使我们学习顺服的功课,并且在生活中操练我们的灵,而被基督所充满,就能够过顺服的生活。
