约伯记生命读经 · 第35篇

整本圣经中关于人在神面前的需要完成的神圣启示

The Completed Divine Revelation in the Entire Scriptures Concerning Man’s Need Before God

1读经：使徒行传26:18，以弗所书1:17-23;3:16-19。

1Scripture Reading: Acts 26:18; Eph. 1:17-23; 3:16-19

2在前面的信息里，我们看见在旧约和新约里，圣经中关于神与人之关系的神圣启示。我们看见在新约里，神与人的关系包含十五项，从成为肉体开始，终极完成于新耶路撒冷。我们需要研读这些项目的细节，将这些项目牢记在心。这样，我们不仅能在个人的交通中，也能在召会的聚会中，对别人讲说这些事。我们若认识这些项目，就能释放这方面的信息，为著建造基督的身体而申言。

2In previous messages we considered, in both the Old Testament and in the New Testament, the divine revelation in the Scriptures concerning God's relationship with man. We saw that in the New Testament God's relationship with man covers fifteen items, beginning with the incarnation and consummating in the New Jerusalem. We need to study the details of all these items and to have them in our heart. Then we will be able to speak of these things to others, not only in personal fellowship but also in the church meetings. If we know these items, we will be able to give messages on them, prophesying for the building up of the Body of Christ

3在本篇信息中，我们要往前说到另一件事－整本圣经中，关于人在神面前的需要完成的神圣启示。神要与人发生关系，而人在神面前有个需要。

3In this message we will go on to cover another matter—the completed divine revelation in the entire Scriptures concerning man's need before God. God wants to have a relationship with man, and man has a need before God

壹神照著自己的形像所造的人，

I. THE MAN CREATED BY GOD IN HIS IMAGE

需要接受神作生命

NEEDING TO TAKE GOD AS HIS LIFE

4神照著自己的形像所造的人（创一２６）需要接受神（由生命树所象征）作生命，使人能活神、彰显神、并代表神；（二９；）这样的一个人，需要被变化成为宝贵的材料，（１０～１２，）并被建造成为神的配偶。（１８～２４。）

4As the man created by God in His image (Gen. 1:26), man needed to take God (symbolized by the tree of life) as his life that he might live God, express God, and represent God (2:9); and as such a one, he needed to be transformed into precious materials (vv. 10-12) and to be built up as a counterpart to God (vv. 18-24

贰堕落的人需要

II. THE FALLEN MAN NEEDING

接受基督作他的救赎，

TO RECEIVE CHRIST FOR HIS REDEMPTION

5使他能在基督里被神称为义堕落的人需要接受基督作他的救赎（由祭物及其流出的血所预表），使他能在基督（由祭牲的皮衣所预表－三２１）里被神称义。堕落的人也需要接受基督作女人的后裔，使人得拯救，脱离撒但这「蛇」死的权势。（创三15，来二14。）

5THAT HE MIGHT BE JUSTIFIED BY GOD IN CHRIST As a fallen man, man needed to receive Christ for his redemption (typified by the sacrifice with its shed blood) that he might be justified by God in Christ (typified by the coats of the sacrifice's skins—3:21). Fallen man also needed to receive Christ as the seed of the woman that he might be delivered from Satan the "serpent's" death-power (v. 15; Heb. 2:14

6这几件事─祭物及其所流的血、祭牲的皮衣、女人的后裔，都记载在创世记三章。我鼓励你们众人，尤其是青年人，学习这些事，然后试著向别人陈明。例如，一位青年人去拜访一位比自己年幼的亲戚，就可以说到堕落的人需要在基督里被神称义，或是说到需要基督这女人的后裔。我们自己首先该消化这些真理，然后该学习如何向别人陈明这些真理。

6All these matters — the sacrifice with its blood, the coats of skins, and the seed of the woman—are found in Genesis 3. I would encourage you all, even the young ones, to learn these things and then try to present them to others. For example, a young person may visit a younger relative and speak about the need of fallen man to be justified by God in Christ or about the need for Christ as the seed of woman. First, we should digest all these truths ourselves, and then we should learn how to present them to others.

参蒙救赎的人需要

III. REDEEMED MAN NEEDING

将基督献上作燔祭，

TO OFFER CHRIST AS THE BURNT OFFERING

使人能被神看中

THAT HE MIGHT BE REGARDED BY GOD

7蒙救赎的人需要将基督献上作燔祭，使人能被神看中。（创四4。）人也需要呼求耶和华的名，（26，）与神同行，（五22，）为神作工，使人得著拯救，脱离败坏、被神定罪的世界，（六11～18，）并藉著基督作燔祭而活在神面前，使地能维持好的次序。（八20～22。）

7As a redeemed person, man needed to offer Christ as the burnt offering that he might be regarded, respected, by God (Gen. 4:4). Man also needs to call on the name of Jehovah (v. 26), to walk with God (5:22), to work for God that he might be delivered from the corrupted and God-condemned world (6:11- 18), and to live before God through Christ as the burnt offering that the earth could be kept in order (8:20-22

肆神所拣选的人需要

IV. THE PEOPLE CHOSEN BY GOD

8接受并答应神的呼召作为神所拣选的人，我们这些亚伯拉罕的后裔，就是神所拣选的族类，需要接受并答应神的呼召，（创十二1～4，）藉著基督作燔祭而活在神前，（7，十三18，二二13，）被律法暴露，使我们得知我们是有罪的，没有能力遵守律法，（出十九8，21～二十21，）并藉著以基督为帐幕、祭司和供物，而与神一同活著，使我们得以进到神里面，与基督一同，并在基督里享受神一切的所是。（出二五～利二七）

8NEEDING TO RECEIVE AND ANSWER GOD'SCALL As people chosen by God, we, the descendants of Abraham, the race chosen by God, need to receive and answer God'scall (Gen. 12:1-4), to live before God through Christ as our burnt offering (v. 7; 13:18; 22:13), to be exposed by the law that we might know that we are sinful and do not have the capacity to keep the law (Exo. 19:8, 21—20:21), and to live with God by taking Christ as the tabernacle, the priest, and the offerings that we may enter into God and enjoy all that God is with Christ and in Christ (Exo. 25—Lev. 27

9旧约的帐幕预表基督的成为肉体。（约一14。）真正的帐幕乃是具体化身在基督里的神自己。这帐幕不仅是神的居所，也是神所拣选之人的居所。这意思是说，在成为肉体之后，神是可进入的。在基督里，意思就是进入神里面享受神。在帐幕里，有陈设饼的桌子使我们得喂养，有灯台使我们得亮光，有香坛使我们在祷告中藉著基督作我们的香而蒙神悦纳。帐幕里还有约柜，作神的见证。如今我们藉著救赎的血，就能与神有交通。

9The tabernacle in the Old Testament is a type of Christ'sin carnation (John 1:14). The real tabernacle is God Himself embodied in Christ. This tabernacle is a dwelling place not only for God but also for God's chosen people. This means that, after the incarnation, God is enterable. To be in Christ means to enter into God to enjoy God. Within the tabernacle there are the showbread table for our food, the lampstand for our light, and the incense altar that we may be accepted through Christ as the incense in our prayer. In the tabernacle there is also the ark for God's testimony. Now through the redeeming blood we can have fellowship with God

10伍人在成为肉体、作人帐幕的神里，不需要在诸如完全、正直、纯正等人性的美德上建立自己，就如约伯所作的，乃需要寻求神，并与神的子民一同享受神。这样一个人，在成为肉体、作人帐幕的神里，不需要在诸如完全、正直、纯正等人性的美德上建立自己，就如约伯所作的，乃需要像渴幕溪水的鹿一样寻求神，并与神的子民在神的节期里一同享受神，（诗四二1～5，四三3～5，）好叫神能成为人的一切，以代替人所能达到并得著的。这该是给约伯三位朋友的答案，甚至是给以利户和约伯的答案。我们再次看见，若要明白约伯记，我们需要整本圣经。

10V. A MAN IN THE INCARNATED GOD AS HIS TABERNACLE NOT NEEDING TO BUILD UP HIMSELF IN HUMAN VIRTUES, SUCH AS PERFECTION, UPRIGHTNESS, AND INTEGRITY, AS JOB DID, BUT NEEDING TO SEEK AFTER GODAND TO ENJOY GOD WITH GOD'SP EOPLE Such a man who is in the incarnated God as his tabernacle did not need to build up himself in human virtues, such as perfection, uprightness, and integrity, as Job did, but he needed to seek after God as a panting hart and to enjoy God with God'sp eople in God's feasts (Psa. 42:1-5; 43:3-5) so that God could be everything to him to replace all that he had attained and obtained. This should be the answer to Job'st hree friends and even to Elihu and Job. Once again we see that if we would understand the book of Job, we need the entire Bible.

陆神所拣选并呼召的人

VI. THE ONES CHOSEN AND CALLED BY GOD

需要信入耶稣基督

NEEDING TO BELIEVE INTO JESUS CHRIST

11神所拣选并呼召的人需要信入耶稣基督，祂是成为肉体的神，为我们并同著我们死了，复活了，升天了，并且成了赐生命的灵，向著我们成为是灵的基督，使祂能作我们的救恩、生命并一切。这事启示在新约，从马太福音到罗马书。柒在基督里的信徒需要在基督神圣的生命里长大，使我们藉著分赐生命的灵，得以变为化成为基督的所是，被建造成为基督的身体，并成为新人，作神的新造。在基督里的信徒需要在基督神圣的生命里长大，使我们藉著分赐生命的灵，得以变为化成为基督的所是，被建造成为基督的身体，并成为新人，作神的新造，以完成神永远的经纶，终极完成于新耶路撒冷，作经过过程之三一神与得荣之三部分人的调和，成为团体的神人在永世里的显出。这事启示于新约，从哥林多前书到启示录。

11The ones who have been chosen and called by God need to believe into Jesus Christ, who is the incarnated God, who died, resurrected, and ascended for us and with us, and who became the life-giving Spirit as the pneumatic Christ to us, that He may be our salvation, life, and everything. This is revealed in the New Testament, in the books from Matthew through Romans. VII. THE BELIEVERS IN CHRIST NEEDING TO GROW IN THE DIVINE LIFE OF CHRIST THAT WE MAY BE TRANSFORMED INTO WHAT CHRIST IS THROUGH THE LIFE-DISPENSING SPIRIT, THAT WE MAY BE BUILT UP TO BE THE BODY OF CHRIST AND TO BE THE NEW MAN AS GOD'S NEW CREATION As believers in Christ, we need to grow in the divine life of Christ that we may be transformed into what Christ is through the life-dispensing Spirit, that we may be built up with the saints to be the Body of Christ, the organism of the Triune God in Christ, and to be the new man as God's new creation to carry out God's eternal economy in the consummation of the New Jerusalem as the mingling of the processed Triune God with the glorified tripartite man, to be the corporate God-man's manifestation in eternity. This is revealed in the New Testament, from 1 Corinthians through Revelation

12捌在基督里得重生、变化并荣化的圣徒，与天然的人无分无关，也不需要用天然人的美德建立自己这样一位在基督里得重生、变化并荣化的圣徒，与天然的人无分无关，也不需要用天然人的美德建立自己。约伯和他的朋友们若活在认识这事的时代，他们就会蒙拯救，免去他们在约伯记里浪费时间、加添痛苦、和虚空的辩论；这三十五章经文（三～三七）乃是一群瞎眼的人在黑暗中摸索的记载。

12VIII. A REGENERATED, TRANSFORMED, AND GLORIFIED SAINT IN CHRIST HAVING NOTHING TO DO WITH THE NATURAL MAN AND NOT NEEDING TO BUILD UP HIMSELF WITH THE NATURAL HUMAN VIRTUES Such a regenerated, transformed, and glorified saint in Christ has nothing to do with the natural man and does not need to build up himself with the natural human virtues. If Job and his friends had lived at the time to know this, they would have been saved from their time-wasting, pain-increasing, and vain debates in thirty-five chapters as a record of a group of blind persons groping in darkness.
