纲目
Outline
1壹 神试验亚伯拉罕,指示他带着他独生的儿子以撒,把他献为燔祭—创二二1~2:
1I. God tested Abraham by instructing him to take his only son, Isaac, and offer him as a burnt offering—Gen. 22:1-2:
2一 在别是巴的生活,产生了献给神的燔祭(以撒):
2A. The life at Beer-sheba produces a burnt offering (Isaac) that is offered to God:
31 以撒生活的源头使他成为燔祭,就是为着神的满足而献给神的人—2、7~9节:
31. Isaac's source of living made him a burnt offering, one who was offered to God for His satisfaction—vv. 2, 7-9:
4a 燔祭,原文意,上升之物,指升到神面前的东西—利一3注1。
4a. The Hebrew word for burnt offering literally means "that which goes up" and denotes something that ascends to God—Lev. 1:3, footnote 1.
5b 燔祭预表基督,主要的不是在于救赎人脱离罪,乃是在于过一种完全且绝对为着神并满足神的生活,并在于祂是使神子民能过这样一种生活的生命—9节,约五19、30,六38,七18,八29,十四24,林后五15,加二19~20。
5b. The burnt offering typifies Christ not mainly in His redeeming man from sin but in His living a life that is perfect and absolutely for God and for God's satisfaction and in His being the life that enables God's people to have such a living—v. 9; John 5:19, 30; 6:38; 7:18; 8:29; 14:24; 2 Cor. 5:15; Gal. 2:19-20.
6c 燔祭乃是神的食物,使神可以享受并得着满足—民二八2。
6c. The burnt offering is God's food that God may enjoy it and be satisfied—Num. 28:2.
72 正当的召会生活产生燔祭—利一1~2,罗十二1~2:
72. The proper church life produces burnt offerings—Lev. 1:1-2; Rom. 12:1-2:
8a 在别是巴的生活、成长并呼求耶和华伊勒俄拉姆的名,都是为着产生燔祭—创二一33,二二1~2。
8a. The living, growing, and calling on the name of Jehovah, El Olam, at Beersheba are all for the producing of a burnt offering—Gen. 21:33; 22:1-2.
9b 我们越留在召会生活中,召会生活就越把我们从别是巴带到摩利亚。
9b. The more we stay in the church life, the more it will bring us from Beersheba to Moriah.
10二 如同亚伯拉罕,我们需要学习一个功课,将神所赐给我们的献回给神—1~18节,罗十一36:
10B. Like Abraham, we need to learn the lesson of offering back to God what He has given to us—vv. 1-18; Rom. 11:36:
111 凡与以撒有关的都是出于神,且凭着神;神要求亚伯拉罕将以撒当作燔祭献回给祂—创二二1~2。
111. Everything concerning Isaac was of God and by God, and God required that Abraham offer Isaac back to Him as a burnt offering—Gen. 22:1-2.
122 以撒,预表基督是应许的后裔(加三16),由神赐给了亚伯拉罕,但神要亚伯拉罕把神所赐给他的,交还给神;这对亚伯拉罕必然是个试验—创二二1,来十一17。
122. Isaac, a type of Christ as the promised seed (Gal. 3:16), was given to Abraham by God, yet God asked Abraham to give back to God what God had given him; this surely was a test to Abraham—Gen. 22:1; Heb. 11:17.
133 这里我们看见在神经纶里一个基本的原则:凡神所赐给我们的,甚至是祂作到我们里面并借着我们作的,至终都必须献回给祂,好使我们过信心的生活,不抓住任何事物,甚至是神所赐的事物,而单单倚靠祂。
133. Here we see a basic principle in God's economy: all that God has given us, even what He has wrought into us and through us, must eventually be offered back to Him, that we may live a life of faith, not holding on to anything, even to the things given by God, but relying only on Him.
144 神最高的要求,就是将祂所赐给我们的交还给祂。
144. The highest demand from God is to give back to Him what He has given us.

15创二二1~2 这些事以后,神试验亚伯拉罕,对他说,亚伯拉罕。他说,我在这里。神说,你带着你的儿子,就是你独生的儿子,你所爱的以撒,往摩利亚地去,在我所要指示你的山上,把他献为燔祭。
15Gen. 22:1-2 Now after these things God tested Abraham and said to him, Abraham. And he said, Here I am. And He said, Take now your son, your only son, whom you love, Isaac, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I will tell you.
16〔圣经在创世记二十一章〕提过亚伯拉罕栽种垂丝柳树并呼求主的名以后,就提到神进来试验他(二二1)。神不像撒但,绝不试诱人。但祂的确试验我们,就像祂试验亚伯拉罕一样。
16After the mention of Abraham’s planting a tamarisk tree and calling on the name of Jehovah [in Genesis 21], God came in to test him (22:1). God, unlike Satan, never tempts anyone. But He does test us like He tested Abraham…
17……亚伯拉罕在赎回别是巴的井以后,毫无疑问作了许多事,但……圣经没有提起别的,反而立刻说到神试验亚伯拉罕(创世记生命读经,九一一页)。
17After Abraham redeemed the well in Beer-sheba, he undoubtedly did many things, but…the Bible does not mention them. Rather, it immediately speaks of God’s testing Abraham. (Life-study of Genesis, p. 749)

18常常在我们对主有了上好的享受以后,祂不要求我们为祂作什么,却吩咐我们将祂所赐给我们的献回给祂。……我们总是盼望在与主有了一段美好的时光以后,祂会吩咐我们为祂作什么。我们从来没有想到,祂会要求我们将祂所赐给我们的还给祂。当亚伯拉罕享受与神亲密的交通时,神没有嘱咐他要为祂作工。他从神领受了最高的要求,就是将神所赐给他的还给神。从起初,神就没有接受亚伯拉罕所有的。……如今,在以利以谢、罗得和以实玛利都被弃绝以后,亚伯拉罕得着了以撒,就是神所应许的后裔,他安心了。凡与以撒有关的都是出于神,且凭着神。……但忽然神进来,似乎说,“我绝不弃绝以撒,他是出于我且从我生的。但是亚伯拉罕,你现在必须把他还给我。”
18Often after we have had the best enjoyment of the Lord, He will not ask us to do something for Him; rather, He will tell us to offer back to Him what He has given us…We always expect that after having a good time with the Lord, He will command us to do something for Him. We never imagine that He may ask us to give back to Him that which He has given us. As Abraham was enjoying intimate fellowship with God, he was not commanded to work for Him. He received the highest demand from God— to give back to God what God had given him. From the very beginning, God never accepted anything that Abraham had…Now, after Eliezer, Lot, and Ishmael had all been rejected, Abraham had acquired Isaac, the seed promised by God, and was at peace. Everything concerning Isaac was of God and by God…But suddenly, God came in and seemed to say, “I would never refuse Isaac. He was born of and from Me. But, Abraham, now you must give him back to Me.”
19亚伯拉罕真了不起。……倘若我是亚伯拉罕,我不会献上以撒。我会摇头说,“不,这必定不是出于主。祂要以利以谢是合乎逻辑的,要求以实玛利也是合理的;但神怎能要我将以撒还给祂?神不是没有目的的。祂应许要给我一个后裔,祂的应许也已经坚定并且成就了。为什么祂现在要使祂已往对我所作的一切报废?”不错,神是有目的的神,祂要求亚伯拉罕将以撒还给祂,的确是有目的的。
19Abraham was marvelous…If I had been Abraham, I would not have offered Isaac. I would have shaken my head and said, “No, this certainly is not of Jehovah. It would have been logical for Him to want Eliezer and reasonable to demand Ishmael. But how could God want me to give Isaac back to Him? God is not purposeless. He promised to give me a seed, and His promise has been confirmed and fulfilled. Why would He now waste all that He has been doing with me?” Yes, God is a God of purpose, and He certainly had a purpose in asking Abraham to give Isaac back to Him.
20许多基督徒,包括一些基督教工人在内,从来没有学习一个功课,将神所赐给他们的献回给神。你得着了一项恩赐么?不要紧持不放。迟早神要进来说,“将我所赐给你的恩赐献回给我。”神赐给你成功的工作么?到一个时候,神也许说,“这工作是我所赐给你的以撒,现在我要你献回给我。”许多基督教工人,不愿在神所赐给他们的工作上放手。然而,神所赐给我们的一切,甚至祂在我们里面并借着我们所作的,我们都必须献回给祂。
20Many Christians, including some Christian workers, have never learned the lesson of offering back to God what He has given them. Have you received a gift? Do not hold on to it. Sooner or later, God will come in and say, “Offer back to Me the gift that I have given you.” Has God given you a successful work? At a certain time, God may say, “This work is the Isaac that I have given to you. Now I want you to offer it back to Me.” However, many Christian workers will not take their hands off the work that God has given them. Nevertheless, all that God has given us, even what He has wrought in and through us, must be offered back to Him.
21在创二二2……神吩咐亚伯拉罕将他所爱的独生儿子以撒献上。要亚伯拉罕这样作真是为难!倘若我们是他,我们会说,“主,我现在一百二十多岁了,撒拉也快要死了。你怎能要求我将你所赐给我的献回给你?”……我们能作见证,已过好些时候,神要求我们将祂所赐给我们的还给祂。祂所给我们的恩赐、能力、工作和成就,我们必须献回给祂。这是真正的试验。要亚伯拉罕放弃罗得或以利以谢很容易,甚至要他赶出以实玛利也不是那么难,但要他献上他所爱的独生儿子却是非常困难的事。有一天,在我们对主有了美好的享受以后,祂会要求我们将祂所赐给我们的恩赐、工作或成就还给祂。祂也许说,“现在是我向你有所要求的时候了。我不要求你为我工作或去布道。我要求你献回我所赐给你的。”这是我们今天都必须走的路(创世记生命读经,九一一至九一四页)。
21In Genesis 22:2 God…told Abraham to offer up Isaac, his only son, whom he loved. How hard it must have been for Abraham to do this! If we had been he, we would have said, “Lord, I am more than a hundred twenty years of age, and Sarah is about to die. How can You ask me to offer back to You what You have given me?”…We can testify that quite a number of times in the past, God asked us to give back to Him what He had given us. The gifts, power, work, and success that He gives us must be offered back to Him. This is a real test. It would have been easy for Abraham to give up Lot or Eliezer. Even casting out Ishmael was not that difficult. But for him to offer his only son, whom he loved, was a very difficult thing. One day, after our having a good enjoyment of the Lord, He will ask us to give back to Him the gift, work, or success He has given us. He may say, “Now is the time for Me to ask you for something. I don’t ask you to work for Me or to go to the mission field. I ask you to offer back what I have given you.” This is the way we all must take today. (Life-study of Genesis, pp. 750-751)
