10国度是什么?国度就是基督撒进我们里面,在我们里面生长,在我们里面成熟,而达到收割的时候。国度不是仅仅一个时代或一个范围,国度乃是基督在祂一切行动里作我们生命的总和。动物的国度乃是所有动物的生命,连同其一切活动的总和。鸟在飞翔,猴子爬树,乌龟游水。……照样,基督的国度乃是基督作我们的生命,连同祂一切活动的总和。我们都有基督在我们里面作生命,我们也在基督里有许多活动。这就是基督的国度。最近我观看、观察并享受众肢体在聚会中许多的活动;你也许说那是召会的聚会,我同意,但那也是基督的国度,连同祂的生命和活动。
10What is the kingdom? The kingdom is simply Christ sown into us, growing in us, maturing in us, and reaching the time of harvest. The kingdom is not merely a dispensation or a sphere. It is the totality of Christ being life to us in all His activities. The animal kingdom is the totality of all animal life with all its activities. Birds are flying, monkeys are climbing, and turtles are swimming in the water…Likewise, the kingdom of Christ is the totality of Christ being life to us with all His activities. We all have Christ within us as life, and we have many activities in Christ. This is the kingdom of Christ. Recently, I was watching, observing, and enjoying so many activities of the members in the meeting. You may say that was a church meeting. I agree, but that was also the kingdom of Christ with His life and activities.
