亚伦和他的儿子成圣作祭司（十一）

The sanctification of Aaron and his sons to be the priests (11)
1读经： 出埃及记二十九章二十九至四十六节。
1Scripture Reading: Exo. 29:29-46
2在前面的信息里我们已经看见，亚伦和他的儿子成圣作祭司来事奉神，其中有四个要紧的点。其中的三个点与祭司有关，一个点与神有关。与祭司有关的三个点就是被洗净，穿上衣服，得着饱足。与神有关的一个点就是为神豫备食物，并且给神吃，使祂得着饱足。豫备神的食物所用的“杂货”包含了三项动物的生命─一只公牛和两只羊羔，以及三项植物的生命─面、油、酒。我们晓得，面是来自小麦，油是来自橄榄树，酒是来自葡萄树。
2In the foregoing messages we have seen that with the sanctification of Aaron and his sons to serve God as priests, there were four important points. Three of these points are related to the priests, and one is related to God. The three points concerning the priests are the matters of being washed, being clothed, and being satisfied. The one point related to God was that of preparing food for God and feeding Him so that He may be satisfied. The “groceries” used in preparing God’s food involved three items of the animal life — a bull and two lambs — and three of the plant life — flour, oil, and wine. As we know, flour comes from wheat, oil comes from the olive tree, and wine comes from the grapevine.
赎罪祭的功用
The function of the sin offering
3我们已经看见，当作赎罪祭献上的公牛不是直接作神的食物。反之，赎罪祭的公牛乃是为着赎罪、为着挽回的。这意思是说，祂是为着和解而献上的。我们每天都需要培育基督成为一只公牛，作为赎罪祭。这意思是说，因着我们的性情、我们的全人是罪恶的，我们需要天天把基督当作赎罪祭献给神。
3As we have seen, the bull offered as a sin offering was not God’s food in a direct way. Rather, the bull of the sin offering was for atonement, for propitiation. This means that it was offered for appeasement. Daily we need to raise Christ as a bull for a sin offering. This means that we need to practice every day offering Christ to God as the sin offering because our nature, our being, is sinful.
4我们邀请别人到家里用餐的时候，喜欢把每样东西都弄得整齐清洁、有条不紊的。一切都豫备妥当了，我们和客人就能彀安安稳稳地享受我们的食物。这说明了基督作我们赎罪祭的功用。这赎罪祭就是出埃及记二十九章里献给神的公牛所豫表的，它清理了我们与神之间的光景。我们与神之间的基本难处就是罪。由于堕落，罪进到人类里面，结果我们就由罪所构成。因此，我们实际上就是罪。当基督成为肉身的时候，祂来成为罪。林后五章二十一节说，祂替我们成为罪。照罗马八章三节来看，神的儿子基督成为罪之肉体的形状。不但如此，这一节还启示出，当基督在十字架上的时候，神在肉体中定罪了罪。因此，基督替我们成为罪，神也在肉体中定罪了罪。
4When we invite others to our home for dinner, we like to have everything clean and in order. Then, with everything properly prepared, we and our guests shall be able to enjoy our food in peace. This illustrates the function of Christ as our sin offering. This sin offering, typified by the bull offered to God in Exodus 29, clears up the situation between us and God. The basic problem between us and God is that of our sin. Through the fall, sin entered into mankind, and as a result we are constituted of sin. Hence, we actually are sin. When Christ was incarnated, He came to be made sin. Second Corinthians 5:21 says that He was made sin for us. According to Romans 8:3, Christ, the Son of God, came in the likeness of the flesh of sin and concerning sin. Moreover, this verse reveals that when Christ was on the cross, God condemned sin in the flesh. Therefore, Christ was made sin for us, and God condemned sin in the flesh.
5在神看来，罪是我们堕落性情和老旧自己的素质，它的根源在于撒但，并且已经进到人的里面。事实上，我们自己就是罪。基督成为罪，并且把罪之肉体带到十字架上，神就在肉体中定罪了罪。所以，在神面前，罪已经受了对付。
5In the sight of God, sin, which has its source in Satan and which has entered into man, is the element of our fallen nature and of our old self. Actually, we ourselves are sin. Christ became sin and brought the flesh of sin to the cross, where God condemned sin in the flesh. Therefore, before God, sin has been dealt with.
6如果你仔细来读新约，你就会晓得，新约没有一处告诉我们，基督在十字架上担当了我们的罪性。新约反倒告诉我们，基督担当了我们的罪行。例如，希伯来九章二十八节说，基督“一次被献，担当了多人的罪。”彼前二章二十四节说，基督“亲身担当了我们的罪，被挂在木头上。”（恢复版。）新约说到罪已经除去了，或除掉了。照约翰一章二十九节来看，施浸约翰宣告说：“看哪，神的羔羊，除去世人罪孽的！”希伯来九章二十六节论到基督，说：“祂…显现一次，把自己献为祭，好除掉罪。”我们已经指出，罗马八章三节说，神已经定罪了罪。照这些经文来看，罪已经受了对付。罪已经被定罪、被除去、被除掉了。
6If you read the New Testament carefully, you will see that nowhere are we told that Christ bore our sin on the cross. Rather, the New Testament tells us that Christ bore our sins. For example, Hebrews 9:28 says that Christ has been “once offered to bear the sins of many.” First Peter 2:24 says that Christ “Himself carried up our sins in His body onto the tree.” Regarding sin, the New Testament says that it was taken away or put away. According to John 1:29, John the Baptist declared, “Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” Speaking of Christ, Hebrews 9:26 says, “He has been manifested for the putting away of sin by His sacrifice.” As we have already pointed out, Romans 8:3 says that God has condemned sin. According to these verses, sin has been dealt with. It has been condemned, taken away, and put away.
罪没有连根拔除
Sin not eradicated
7神拯救我们，在我们悔改、相信、重生的时候，并没有把我们罪恶的性情连根拔除。这样拯救我们，并不是照着神的经营。我们悔改的时候，神赦免了我们的罪。祂也进到我们灵里，以祂的灵来重生我们。然而，祂没有把我们里头的罪连根拔除。虽然我们已经得了赦免，蒙基督的宝血洗净，由那灵重生，但我们还是在老旧的性情里，还是在旧造里。一方面，我们是一个新造，有新的性情；另一方面，我们还是带着老旧的性情在旧造里面。因此，我们必须被题醒：在老旧的性情里面，在肉体里面，我们还是罪恶的。我们必须晓得，我们就是罪。
7In saving us, God does not eradicate our sinful nature at the time of our repentance, conversion, and regeneration. To save us in that way is not according to God’s economy. When we repented, God forgave our sins. He also came into our spirit to regenerate us with His Spirit. However, He did not eradicate the sin that is within us. Although we have been forgiven, cleansed by the precious blood of Christ, and regenerated by the Spirit, we are still in our old nature, in the old creation. On the one hand, we are a new creation and have a new nature; on the other hand, we are still in the old creation with the old nature. Therefore, we need to be reminded that in our old nature, our flesh, we are still sinful. We need to realize that we are sin.
8有些基督徒持守拔罪根的观念，或完全圣洁的道理。有些人教导人说，信徒一旦接受了圣灵的浸，就完全圣洁，不会再犯罪了。这样的教训不是根据圣经的。不但如此，接受拔罪根或完全圣洁之观念的人，导致一些人为罪恶的事情找借口，把它们称为软弱或亏欠。在有些事例中，持守拔罪根或完全圣洁之观念的人，落到粗鄙的罪里。照圣经来看，我们是在基督里的新造，但在堕落的性情里，我们还是在旧造里面。不错，我们有永远的生命，神圣的性情和圣灵。这意思是说，神自己在我们里面。然而，我们还有旧人、旧造和肉体。因此，我们始终有可能会落到罪里。我们必须晓得，我们还是罪恶的。
8Some Christians hold on to a concept of the eradication of sin or to a doctrine of absolute holiness. Some teach that once a believer receives the baptism of the Holy Spirit, he becomes absolutely holy and can no longer sin. Such teachings are not according to the Bible. Furthermore, accepting the concept of eradication or absolute holiness has led some to excuse sinful things by calling them weaknesses or shortcomings. In some cases, those who hold onto the concept of eradication or of absolute holiness have fallen into gross sin. According to the Bible, we are a new creation in Christ, but in our fallen nature we are still in the old creation. Yes, we have eternal life, the divine nature, and the Holy Spirit. This means that God Himself is in us. Yet, we still have the old man, the old creation, and the flesh. Thus, with us there is always the possibility of falling into sin. We need to realize that we are still sinful.
9照出埃及记里的豫表来看，我们天天都需要把基督当作赎罪祭献给神。出埃及记二十九章里的七天是表征一段完全的期间，就是我们基督徒的一生。在我们经历改变形像、身体得赎之前，我们一直需要赎罪祭。我们应当天天题醒自己：我们就是罪，我们需要基督作赎罪祭来清理我们与神之间的光景。
9According to the typology in the book of Exodus, every day we need to offer Christ to God as the sin offering. The seven days mentioned in Exodus 29 signify a full course of time, that is, our entire Christian life. Until we have experienced transfiguration, the redemption of our body, we shall continue to need the sin offering. Daily we should remind ourselves that we are sin and that we need Christ as the sin offering to clear up the situation between us and God.
10当我们应用基督作赎罪祭时，我们与神之间的难处就解决了，并且我们得了洁净。因为神藉着基督作赎罪祭，已经和解了，我们就能彀平安了。如今在平安的气氛里，我们能彀把食物服事给神。
10When we apply Christ as the sin offering, the problem between us and God is solved, and we are cleansed. Because God has been appeased through Christ as the sin offering, we may be at peace. Now in an atmosphere of peace, we can serve food to God.
神的食物
God’s food
11照出埃及记二十九章来看，神的食物包含两只羊羔、含有面和油的素祭，以及奠祭的酒。早晨要把一只羊羔和素祭、奠祭一同献给神，黄昏的时候也要把另一只羊羔和素祭、奠祭一同献给神。现在让我们继续来看献给神作食物的羊羔、面、油和酒。
11According to Exodus 29, God’s food consists of two lambs, a meal offering containing flour and oil, and a drink offering of wine. In the morning one lamb was offered to God with the meal offering and the drink offering, and in the evening, the other lamb was offered to Him, also with the meal offering and the drink offering. Let us now go on to consider the lambs, the flour, the oil, and the wine offered to God as food.
顺服神
Obedient to God
12羊羔豫表基督是顺服神的一位。当主耶稣在地上的时候，祂绝对顺服神。腓立比二章说，祂顺服至死，甚至死在十字架上。基督死在十字架上乃是祂顺服的最高表现。根据罗马五章十八节、十九节的话，在神看来，认为顺服就是义行。“一次义行”特别是指基督顺服神，以至于死在十字架上的这个行为。
12The lamb typifies Christ as the One who is obedient to God. When the Lord Jesus was on the earth, He was absolutely obedient to God. Philippians 2 says that He was obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Christ’s death on the cross was the highest expression of His obedience. In the words of Romans 5:18 and 19, in the sight of God that obedience is regarded as a righteous act. The “one righteous act” is in particular ascribed to that single act of Christ in which He was obedient to God unto the death of the cross.
13基督是羊羔，不但对神是顺服的，在人面前也是温柔的。以赛亚五十三章七节说：“祂被欺压，在受苦的时候却不开口；祂像羊羔被牵到宰杀之地，又像羊在剪毛的人手下无声，祂也是这样不开口。”照圣经来看，温柔的意思就是对于发生在你身上的事，不抵挡，也不反抗，反倒忍受攻击和欺压。温柔乃是羊羔的特征。羊羔不抵挡，不像狗、猫会反抗。四福音书启示出基督是顺服的，也是温柔的。
13As a lamb, Christ was not only obedient to God, but was also meek before man. Isaiah 53:7 says, “He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.” According to the Bible, to be meek means not to resist or fight against what happens to you. Rather, it is to suffer attack and oppression. Meekness is a characteristic of lambs. Unlike dogs and cats that fight back, lambs do not resist. The four Gospels reveal that Christ was obedient and also meek.
我们日常生活的见证
A testimony of our daily life
14出埃及记二十九章里的图画，指明我们基督徒的一生，应当天天把基督当作赎罪祭献上。然后我们必须有羊羔、面、橄榄油和酒。我们要成为神的祭司，必须天天把基督当作我们的赎罪祭献给神。如果我们这么作，我们在基督徒的生活里就会把基督培育成为一只公牛。我们愈实行把基督当作赎罪祭献上，在我们的经历中，祂就愈长大，成为一只大公牛。一段时间以后，基督要愈过愈增长，成为作赎罪祭的公牛。基督这样增长成为赎罪祭，就是我们在日常生活中，在我们的“牧场”上来培育基督。
14The picture in Exodus 29 indicates that throughout the course of our Christian life, we should daily offer Christ as the sin offering. Then we need to have the lambs, the flour, the olive oil, and the wine. In order to be God’s priests, every day we must offer Christ to God as our sin offering. If we do this, then in our Christian life we shall raise Christ as a bull. The more we practice offering Christ as the sin offering, the more in our experience He will grow to be a large bull. After a period of time, in our experience Christ will increase more and more as the bull for the sin offering. To have Christ increase as the sin offering in this way is to raise Christ on our “ranch” in our daily life.
15在教会的聚会里，我们必须把基督当作赎罪祭献给神。这该是我们在日常生活中所经历的一个表明、一个见证。如果我们没有天天经历基督，而要在聚会里把基督献上，我们就好像演员在戏院里表演一样。我们在聚会里所作的，应当是我们日常生活的一个见证。每天早晨我们都该把基督当作赎罪祭献上，这是一种属灵的洗净。这样洗净以后，我们就能彀在一天的生活中继续活基督。因此，如果我们要把基督当作赎罪祭献上，我们就必须培育祂这动物的生命。
15In the church meetings we need to offer Christ to God as the sin offering. This should be a demonstration, a testimony, of what we experience in our daily life. If we try to offer Christ in the meetings without experiencing Him day by day, we shall be performing like actors in a theater. What we do in the meetings should be a testimony of our daily life. Every morning we should offer Christ as our sin offering. This is a kind of spiritual washing. After washing in this way, we then may go on to live Christ during the day. Therefore, if we would offer Christ as the sin offering, we need to raise Him as the animal life.
16我们也必须培育基督成为一只羊羔，并且长出基督作为小麦、橄榄树、葡萄树。我们怎样才能在日常生活中把基督培育成一只羊羔呢？藉着活出基督这只羊羔来。我们献上基督作赎罪祭而得了洁净以后，我们的灵就活了。然后我们就该接受基督这只羊羔而活祂。
16We also need to raise Christ as a lamb and grow Him as wheat, olive trees, and vines. How can we raise Christ as a lamb in our daily life? We do this by living Him as a lamb. After we offer Christ as the sin offering to be cleansed, our spirit will be living. Then we should live Christ by taking Him as a lamb.
凭着基督这羊羔而活
Living by Christ as the lamb
17我们中间至少有些人能彀作见证，每当我们早晨接受基督作赎罪祭的时侯，就立刻觉得我们被洗净了，我们的灵活了，基督这灵对我们也实际了。结果，我们就实际凭着基督这羊羔而活。这意思是说，我们在许许多多的事上，接受祂在我们里面作顺服神的一位。我们有这位顺服者作我们顺服的生命，甚至成为我们对神的顺服，并且祂在我们里面活出顺服的生命来。以往，我们不顺服神、不顺从神，但我们天天实行把基督当作赎罪祭献上，我们自自然然就顺服了。事实上，不是我们顺服，而是基督这位顺服者活在我们里面。一方面，基督是公牛，作我们的赎罪祭；另一方面，祂也是羊羔，我们凭祂而活。
17At least some of us can testify that whenever we take Christ as the sin offering in the morning, we immediately sense that we have been cleansed, that our spirit is living, and that Christ as the Spirit is real to us. As a result, in a practical way we live by Him as the lamb. This means that in so many things we take Him as the One in us who is obedient to God. We have this obedient One as our obedient life, even as our obedience to God, and He lives in us a life of obedience. In times past, we were not obedient or submissive to God. But through the practice of offering Christ as the sin offering, we spontaneously become obedient. Actually, it is not we who are obedient; it is Christ who is the obedient One living in us. On the one hand, Christ is the bull for our sin offering; on the other hand, He is also the lamb by whom we live.
18我相信我们中间许多人能彀作见证，因着接受基督作我们的赎罪祭，我们就更加顺服神了。以往，我们在一些事上不顺服，有了罪愆，这使我们必须献上基督作我们的赎愆祭。例如，一位姊妹也许在买东西的事上不顺服。她上百货公司的时候，可能悖逆、不服。结果，她和神之间就起了争执。后来她也许没有合式地取用赎愆祭，只不过想要把主的血应用到她的情况里，并求主来洁净。但如果这位姊妹天天把基督当作她的赎罪祭献给神，她的经历就会大不相同。自然而然地，她会更加顺服神，她会有更多的时候甘心顺服并顺从。这就是培育基督成为羊羔。
18I believe that many of us can testify that by taking Christ as our sin offering, we are becoming more obedient to God. In the past, when we were not obedient in certain matters, we trespassed. This made it necessary for us to offer Christ as our trespass offering. For example, a sister may be disobedient in shopping. In going to a department store, she may be rebellious and disobedient. As a result, there is a fight between her and God. Instead of taking the trespass offering in a proper way, she later may simply try to apply the Lord’s blood to her situation and claim His cleansing. But if this sister will daily offer Christ to God as her sin offering, her experience will be quite different. Spontaneously, she will be much more obedient to God. Much more of the time she will willingly obey and submit. This is to raise Christ as a lamb.
19倘若一位弟兄和他的妻子都顺服神，他们就不会想争吵了。夫妻之间的争辩好比狗叫一般。当然，这样的辩论、争吵是不愉快的。如果一位弟兄天天接受基督作他的赎罪祭，他自然而然就顺服神，同时也温柔了。他宁愿更多让步，也不愿与妻子争吵。他是温柔的，既不反抗，也不抵挡。这就是活出基督作羊羔。
19If a brother and his wife are obedient to God, they will not want to exchange words. The arguing between husband and wife can be compared to the barking of dogs. To be sure, this kind of arguing, this exchange of words, is not pleasant. If a brother daily takes Christ as his sin offering, he will automatically become obedient to God and also meek. Instead of arguing with his wife, he will be much more willing to give in. He will be meek, neither fighting nor resisting. This is the living of Christ as a lamb.
培育一群羊羔
Raising a flock of lambs
20我愿强调一件事实，就是我们如果要培育基督作羊羔，首先必须得着祂作赎罪祭。我由经历中晓得，我们培育基督成为作赎罪祭的公牛，也就是培育基督成为作燔祭的羊羔。把基督当作赎罪祭献上，就是培育基督成为羊羔的路。
20I would emphasize the fact that if we would raise Christ as a lamb, we must first have Him as the sin offering. I know from experience that when we raise Christ as a bull for a sin offering, we also raise Him as a lamb for a burnt offering. Offering Christ as the sin offering is the way to raise Christ as a lamb.
21启示录十四章一节说：“我又观看，见羔羊站在锡安山，同祂又有十四万四千人，都有祂的名，和祂父的名，写在额上。”启示录十四章四节是对同着羔羊的十四万四千人的一部分描述，说：“羔羊无论往那里去，他们都跟随祂。”这是强而有力的经文，说到长出基督成为羔羊。羔羊无论往那里去，那些忠心的人都跟随祂。跟随基督这只羔羊，就是培育祂作为羔羊。最终，我们要培育基督成为一群羔羊。当然，这意思不是说，有不只一位的基督。基督是独一的，但在我们的经历中，我们可以在许多方面都有祂。因此，就经历说，我们能彀培育基督成为一群羔羊。
21Revelation 14:1 says, “And I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with Him a hundred and forty-four thousand, having His name and the name of His Father written on their foreheads.” As part of a description of the hundred and forty-four thousand with the Lamb, Revelation 14:4 says, “These are they who follow the Lamb wherever He may go.” This is a strong verse related to growing Christ as a lamb. Those who are faithful follow the Lamb wherever He goes. To follow Christ as the Lamb is to raise Him as a lamb. Eventually, we shall raise Christ as a flock of lambs. This does not mean, of course, that there is more than one Christ. Christ is uniquely one, but in our experience we may have Him in many ways. Therefore, experientially we may raise Christ as a flock of lambs.
22对于一个问题，道理上懂得是一回事，在经历上有所看见却大不相同。论到基督，我不愿仅仅留在道理上，我渴望得着充分的属灵经历。
22To understand a matter in a doctrinal way is one thing, but to view the same matter experientially is very different. Regarding Christ, I do not want to remain merely in doctrine, but I long to have the adequate spiritual experience.
23注重道理的人常常反对有经历的信徒。上一世纪末期和本世纪初期，有些圣经教师批评慕安得烈，因为他强调经历过于道理。他论到属灵经历的书籍帮助了成千有追求的基督徒，他的杰作就是“基督的灵”。我由这本书得着很大的帮助，我也鼓励你们大家不但要去读这本书，更要加以研究。除了在主恢复里的著作以外，没有第二本书像“基督的灵”这么能帮助基督徒认识基督是赐生命的灵。然而，一些圣经教师却定罪慕安得烈，尤其是一些弟兄会的人。此外，宾路易师母也受到这些圣经教师严厉的批评。好多年前，中国有一家书店出售倪弟兄所有的书籍，可是不发售“属灵人”。经营这家书店的人晓得，“属灵人”里有一章是译自宾路易师母论属灵争战的著作。他们认为这部书不洁净，因为其中含有她的一部分著作。虽然成千的信徒因宾路易师母的著作得了帮助，但有些注重道理的人，不但定罪她是异端者，甚至定罪她是行邪术的。
23Those who care primarily for doctrine often oppose those believers with experience. Toward the end of the last century and in the first part of this century, certain Bible teachers criticized Andrew Murray because he emphasized experience more than doctrine. His books on spiritual experience have been helpful to thousands of seeking Christians. His masterpiece is The Spirit of Christ. I have received great help from this book, and I encourage you all not only to read it, but also to study it. Apart from the writings in the Lord’s recovery, no book other than The Spirit of Christ has been so helpful to Christians in knowing Christ as the life-giving Spirit. Nevertheless, Andrew Murray has been condemned by certain Bible teachers, in particular by some of the Brethren. Furthermore, Jessie Penn-Lewis has also been severely criticized by these same Bible teachers. Years ago, a certain bookstore in China sold all of Brother Nee’s books with the exception of The Spiritual Man. Those who operated this bookstore knew that one chapter in The Spiritual Manwas a translation of Mrs. Penn-Lewis’ writings on spiritual warfare. They regarded that book as unclean because it contained a portion of her writings. Although thousands of believers have been helped by the writings of Jessie Penn-Lewis, some who focus on doctrine condemned her not only as a heretic, but even as a witch.
24我们论到培育基督成为一群羔羊，是说到我们对基督的经历。我在这里所关心的，不仅仅是教导圣经。我盼望以圣经作基础，来说到对基督的经历。因此，我要由经历的观点说，我们能彀培育基督成为一群羔羊。
24When we speak about raising Christ as a flock of lambs, we are talking about our experience of Christ. My concern here is not merely with teaching the Bible. With the Bible as my basis, I wish to speak concerning the experience of Christ. Thus, speaking from the experiential point of view, I would say that we can have Christ as a flock of lambs.
25古时候，以色列人把牛群、羊群中头生的带到锡安山上献给神。这些头生的牛羊都是豫表基督。我们已经指出，基督是独一的。但在我们的经历中，我们可以在许多不同的方面都有基督。基督只有一位，然而对基督的经历却是数不尽的。
25In ancient times, the children of Israel brought the firstlings of their flocks and of their herds to Mount Zion to offer to God. All these firstlings typified Christ. We have pointed out that Christ is uniquely one. But in our experience we may have Christ in many different ways. There is only one Christ, but the experiences of Christ are countless.
给神吃的祭物
The offerings for God’s eating
26我们已经看见把基督培育成赎罪祭的公牛和燔祭羊羔的那条路。出埃及记二十九章里的羊羔不是为着和解的；反之，这羊羔乃是给神作食物的燔祭，是献给神吃的。许多基督徒从来没有听过：基督被献上不仅是为着和解，更要成为给神吃的食物。稍有神学知识的人也许会感到希奇。然而，照圣经来看，有些祭物不是为着赎罪，不是为着和解，而是为着给神吃的。这件事在出埃及记二十九章很清楚地描绘出来。在这一章里面，要献上公牛作赎罪祭；那就是说，公牛要为着和解而献上。然而，羊羔是为着给神吃而献上的。因这缘故，出埃及记二十九章论到羊羔时没有题起血。血是为着救赎，为着和解，为着赎罪；不是为着给神吃的。但作为燔祭而献上的羊羔则完全是为着给神吃的。
26We have seen the way to raise Christ as a bull for the sin offering and as lambs for the burnt offering. In Exodus 29 the lamb is not for propitiation; rather, the lamb is a burnt offering as food for God. It was offered to God for Him to eat. Many Christians have never heard that Christ may be offered not only for propitiation, but also as food for God’s eating. Those with some knowledge of theology may wonder about this. Nevertheless, according to the Bible, certain offerings were not for atonement, not for propitiation, but were for God’s eating. This is clearly portrayed in Exodus 29. In this chapter the bull was offered as a sin offering; that is, it was offered for propitiation. The lambs, however, were offered to God for His eating. For this reason, Exodus 29 does not mention blood with respect to the lambs. The blood is for redeeming, for propitiation, and for atonement; it is not for eating. But the lambs offered as the burnt offering were wholly for God to eat.
27你晓得神怎样来吃祂的食物么？神是用火来吃。当神来吃你为祂所豫备的食物时，祂会用祂圣别的烈火来吃。也许你以往从来没有听过，火是神用来吃祂食物的凭借。
27Do you know by what way God eats His food? God eats with fire. When God comes to eat the food you have prepared for Him, He will eat it by His holy, consuming fire. Perhaps you have never heard before that fire is the means by which God eats His food.
28现今我们晓得如何把基督培育成赎罪祭的公牛和燔祭的羊羔了。整只羊羔都要焚烧。这意思是说，祂全然是为着神的。燔祭的羊羔没有一部分是给献祭的人或祭司的。这羊羔乃是神的食物，完全是给神吃的。
28Now we know how to raise Christ as a bull for a sin offering and as a lamb for a burnt offering. The whole lamb was burned. This means that it was absolutely for God. No part of the lamb of the burnt offering was for the offerer or for the priests. The lamb was God’s food and was entirely for His eating.
29倘若我们一直实行把基督当作赎罪祭献上，我们就会凭着基督这羊羔而活，祂是对神顺服、在人面前温柔的一位。然后在聚会里，我们就有成为许多羊羔的基督，当作食物献给神，作为神的满足。
29If we continue to practice offering Christ as our sin offering, we shall live by Christ as the lamb, as the One obedient to God and meek before man. Then in the meetings we shall have Christ as many lambs to offer to God as food for His satisfaction.
