2
3二 使徒保罗已经跑完这赛程,赢得了奖赏——九26~27腓三13~14提后四7~8

10来十二1 所以,我们既有这许多的见证人,如同云彩围着我们,就当……凭着忍耐奔那摆在我们前头的赛程。
10Heb. 12:1 Therefore let us also, having so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us,…run with endurance the race which is set before us.
11林前九24 岂不知在场上赛跑的都跑,但得奖赏的只有一人?你们应当这样跑,好叫你们得着奖赏。
111 Cor. 9:24 Do you not know that those who run on a racecourse all run, but one receives the prize? Run in this way, that you may lay hold.
12帖后三5 愿主修直你们心中的途径,引导你们的心,进入神的爱以爱神,并进入基督的忍耐以忍耐。
122 Thes. 3:5 And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the endurance of Christ.
13基督徒的一生就是一个赛程,每一个得救的基督徒都必须奔跑这赛程,好赢得奖赏(林前九24)。这奖赏不是指一般的救恩(弗二8林前三15),乃是指特别的赏赐(来十35林前三14)。使徒保罗已经跑完这赛程,赢得了奖赏;他几乎是唯一把基督徒生活比作赛跑的人。在希伯来书里,他嘱咐希伯来的信徒要奔跑赛程;他说,要“凭着忍耐奔那摆在我们前头的赛程”(十二1)(希伯来书生命读经,六七○页)。
13The Christian life is a race. Every saved Christian must run the race to win the prize (1 Cor. 9:24). This prize is not salvation in a common sense (Eph. 2:8; 1 Cor. 3:15) but a reward in a special sense (Heb. 10:35; 1 Cor. 3:14). The apostle Paul, who ran the race and won the prize, was nearly the only one who likened the Christian life to a race. In the book of Hebrews he charged the Hebrew believers to run the race, saying, “Run with endurance the race which is set before us” (12:1). (Life-study of Hebrews, p. 545)

14我们所奔跑的赛程,实际上就是基督自己。主耶稣说,“我就是道路。”(约十四6)……因为基督是道路,祂也就是赛程。……我们的道路就是我们的赛程。……我们所走的道路,就是我们所奔的赛程。所以,那是道路的基督,也是赛程。我们信徒不该在基督里站着不动。……我们必须奔跑赛程。我们不该花时间考虑或观望,站着不动或缓缓而行。……保罗被主得着后,就开始奔跑属天的赛程,并且不停地奔跑(林前九24~26腓三12~14),为要跑完这赛程(徒二十24)。末了他终于得胜地宣告说,当跑的赛程他已经跑尽了〔提后四7〕。为此,他要从主得着赏赐,就是公义的冠冕(8)。
14The race we are running is actually Christ Himself. The Lord Jesus said, “I am the way” (John 14:6)…Because Christ is the way, He is also the race… Our way is our race…The way we are walking is the race we are running. Therefore, Christ, who is the way, is the race. As believers, we should not stand still in Christ…We must run the race. We should not take the time to consider or look around, to stand still or walk slowly. Paul began to run the course of the heavenly race after he was taken possession of by the Lord, and he continually ran (Phil. 3:12-14) that he might finish it (Acts 20:24). Then at the end he triumphantly proclaimed, “I have finished the course” [2 Tim. 4:7]. For this he will receive from the Lord a reward—the crown of righteousness (v. 8).
15我们在基督里的信徒,都已借信接受了祂的救恩,这是一定永定的。但我们将来能否得主的赏赐,乃在于我们如何奔跑赛程。在林前九章,保罗正在场上奔跑;在他晚期的一封书信—腓立比书—里,他还在奔跑(三14);直到提后四章六至八节,他奔跑到了最后一刻,才有把握会在主显现时得祂的赏赐。在这赏赐的光中,保罗嘱咐信徒要跑这一场赛跑,使他们能得着赏赐,奖赏,就是不能坏的华冠。……在林前九章二十六节上半,保罗说,“所以我这样奔跑,不像无定向的。”保罗奔跑赛程不是无定向的,乃是前面有确定的目标。今天我们奔跑赛程必须有确定的目标;我们不该无定向地奔跑。
15We, the believers in Christ, have all received His salvation through faith in Him. This has been settled once for all. But whether we shall be rewarded by the Lord depends on how we run the race. In 1 Corinthians 9 Paul was running the race. In Philippians, one of his last Epistles, he was still running (3:14). It was not until the last moment of his running, in 2 Timothy 4:68, that Paul had the assurance that he would be rewarded by the Lord at His coming. With this reward in view, Paul charged the believers to run the race so that they may obtain the reward, the prize, an incorruptible crown. In 1 Corinthians 9:26a Paul says, “I therefore run in this way, not as though without a clear aim.” Paul did not run the race uncertainly but with a definite goal in view. Today we must run the race with a definite goal; we should not run uncertainly.
16我们要奔跑赛程,需要脱去各样的重担,和容易缠累我们的罪(来十二1)。……赛跑的人必须脱去各样不必要的重量,各样重负,使他们没有障碍,好奔跑赛程。我们容易拿起不必要的重担。但我们若要奔跑基督徒的赛程,就需要脱去各样的重担,各样不必要的重担或障碍。
16In order to run the course of the race, we need to put off every encumbrance and the entangling sin (Heb. 12:1)…The runners in a race must strip off every unnecessary weight, every encumbering burden, that they may have no impediment to running the race. It is easy for us to pick up unnecessary burdens. But if we would run the Christian race, we need to put off every encumbrance, every unnecessary burden or impediment.
17从希伯来十二章一节我们看见,我们也需要脱去“容易缠累我们的罪”。这里的罪,主要的是指缠累我们,使我们不能奔跑赛程的事。重担的重量和缠累人的罪,都阻挠我们奔跑赛程。重担是外面的,而罪是里面的,因罪与我们罪恶的性情有关。在我们罪恶的性情里,有个东西时常缠累我们。要奔跑基督徒一生的赛程,我们需要脱去缠累人的罪。
17From Hebrews 12:1 we see that we also need to put off “the sin which so easily entangles us.” Here the sin refers mainly to the thing that entangles us from running the race. Both the encumbering weight and the entangling sin frustrate us in running the race. The encumbrances are outward, but the sin is inward, for it involves our sinful nature. Within our sinful nature there is something that often entangles us. In order to run the course of the Christian life, we need to put off the entangling sin.
18一节末了嘱咐我们:“凭着忍耐奔那摆在我们前头的赛程。”我们需要凭着忍耐奔跑,因为在基督徒的赛程中必会遭到许多的反对。要奔跑这赛程,我们必须凭着忍耐忍受反对,绝不疲倦灰心(3)(新约总论第六册,三三九至三四二页)。
18At the end of Hebrews 12:1 we are charged to “run with endurance the race which is set before us.” We need to run with endurance because there is much opposition to the Christian race. In order to run this race, we must suffer the opposition with endurance, never growing weary or fainting in our souls (v. 3). (The Conclusion of the New Testament, pp. 1866-1869)

今日要点
20主题:凭着忍耐,奔那摆在前头的赛程,好得着奖赏
20
221.基督徒的一生乃是赛程,需要奔跑:
22
23A.来十二1说,『所以,我们既有这许多的见证人,如同云彩围着我们,就当...凭着忍耐奔那摆在我们前头的赛程』,我们需要看见,基督徒的一生不是一个散步的路程,而是一个赛程,每一个得救的基督徒都必须奔跑这赛程,好赢得奖赏,这奖赏不是指一般的救恩,乃是指特别的赏赐,使徒保罗在得救前跑错了,当他得救之后,就开始跑。
23
24b.林前九24说,『岂不知在场上赛跑的都跑,但得奖赏的只有一人?你们也当这样跑,好觉你们得着奖赏』,在保罗离世之前,他也说,当跑的赛程我已经跑尽了,从此以后有公义的冠冕为我存留,保罗已经跑完这赛程,赢得了奖赏,我们若要成为这样奔跑的人,就需要脱去重担和容易缠累我们的罪,凭着忍耐奔跑赛程。
24
252.要奔跑赛程,就要脱去重担和缠累的罪,凭着忍耐:
25
26A.保罗说要奔跑,就要脱去重担,和容易缠累我们的罪,重担乃是重量、负担或障碍,赛跑的人拖去各样不必要的重量,各样缠累人的重担,使他们没有障碍,以赢得奖赏,而缠累人的罪,乃是故意犯的罪,指停止与圣徒们的聚集,放弃神经纶中新约的路,以及回到宗教去,这些都会阻挠并限制信徒,使它们不能奔跑属天的赛程。
26
27B.我们需要还需要凭着忍耐,倪柝声弟兄告诉李常受弟兄说,忍耐是什么?忍耐乃是基督,我们里面没有忍耐,基督才是我们的忍耐,帖后三5说,『愿主修直你们心中的途径,引导你们的心,进入神的爱以爱神,并进入基督的忍耐以忍耐』,这个赛程中必定会遭遇许多的反对,因此,我们要凭着忍耐忍受反对,绝不疲倦灰心,好奔跑赛程直到路终。
27
28应用:我们不该花时间考虑或观望,站着不动或缓缓而行,我们当跑起来,只注视着终点的奖赏,不受两旁的事物所打岔,凭着基督作为忍耐而以奔跑赛程的态度来过召会生活。
