大卫的后裔和神的儿子
THE SEED OF DAVID AND THE SON OF GOD
3撒下七章十二节说到大卫的后裔。至终，这位人的后裔成了神的儿子。（14。）关于这点，主耶稣问法利赛人一个问题。（太二二41～。）祂首先问他们：『论到基督，你们怎么看？祂是谁的子孙？』（42。）当他们回答基督是大卫的子孙，主就接著问，大卫怎么还称祂为主。（43。）最后祂说，『大卫既称祂为主，祂怎么又是大卫的子孙？』（45。）这是宇宙中最大的问题：基督怎能既是人的后裔，又是神的儿子？祂怎能既是大卫的子孙，又是大卫的主？法利赛人很懂得圣经，但主就著祂身位的两方面问他们时，他们的口就被笼住了。法利赛人知道基督是大卫的后裔，对此他们能毫不犹豫的回答。但主耶稣问，基督的先祖大卫为甚么称基督为主时，他们就无法回答。一面说，祂是人；另一面说，祂是神。没有人能把这两面调在一起。关于基督身位的研究，就是『基督论』，开始于第二代的教父，后来成为信徒中间一个大问题。但今天大多数的信徒都不太注意这件事。他们知道神是基督，基督是他们的救主和救赎主；但我们若问他们，基督怎能是神又是人，他们就无法回答。基督复活和升天后，
3Second Samuel 7:12 refers to the seed of David. Eventually, this human seed becomes the Son of God (v. 14). Concerning this, the Lord Jesus asked a question of the Pharisees (Matt. 22:41-45). First, He asked them, “What do you think concerning the 45 Christ? Whose son is He?” (v. 42). When they said that Christ was David’ss on, the Lord Jesus went on to ask how David could call Him Lord (v. 43). Finally, He said, “If then David calls Him Lord, how is He his son?” (v. 45). This is the greatest question in the universe. How could Christ be the seed of a man and also the Son of God? How could He be the son of David and also David’s Lord? The Pharisees knew the Bible very well, but when the Lord Jesus questioned them concerning the two aspects of His person, their mouths were shut. The Pharisees realized that Christ was the seed of David, and they answered without any hesitation. But when the Lord Jesus asked why David, a forefather of Christ, called Christ the Lord, they could not answer. On the one hand, He was a man; on the other hand, He was God. No one can reconcile these two. The study of Christ’s person, Christology, began with the second generation of the church fathers, and it became a great concern among the believers. Today, however, most believers would not pay much attention to this matter. They know that God is Christ and that Christ is their Savior and their Redeemer, but if we ask them how Christ can be God and also man, they cannot answer. CHRIST STILL BEING A MAN WITH A PHYSICAL BODY
仍然是人，有肉身的身体
AFTER HIS RESURRECTION AND ASCENSION
4今天有许多人不相信基督在复活和升天里仍有肉身的身体。他们相信基督死的时候，是在肉身里死了；祂复活的时候，就把那个身体摆在一边，所复活的只是神圣的一位。因著这种错误的领会，他们就无法解释圣经中许多的经节。
4Today there are many who do not believe that Christ in His resurrection and ascension still has a physical body. They believe that when Christ died He died in the body, but when He resurrected He put off the body and resurrected only as a divine person. Because of this wrong understanding, there are many verses in the Bible which they have no way to interpret.
大卫的根和后裔
The Root and the Offspring of David
5启示录二十二章十六节说，耶稣是『大卫的根，又是他的后裔』。基督是神，因此祂是大卫的源头，是大卫的根；这是指祂的神性。同时，祂也是人，因此祂是大卫的后裔，是大卫的子孙；这是指祂的人性。大卫从祂而出，祂是大卫的根；祂又是大卫的后裔，从大卫而出。
5Revelation 22:16 says that Jesus is “the Root and the Offspring of David.” Christ is God; thus, He can be the source, the Root, of David. This refers to His divinity. At the same time, He is also a man; hence He is the Offspring, the issue, of David. This refers to His humanity. David came out of Him as the Root, and as the Offspring He came out of David
6以赛亚十一章一节说，『从耶西的本必发一条，从他根生的枝子…。』所有认识圣经的教师都同意，这一节是指基督说的。在所罗门的时候，大卫家是一棵茂盛的树，但不久以后，那棵树开始被剪除。至终，只剩下树不，主要由约瑟和马利亚二人所组成。从那树不发出嫩条，就是婴孩耶稣。那是神为大卫建立家室，给大卫的一个后裔。
6Isaiah 11:1 says, “There shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots.” All knowledgeable teachers of the Bible agree that this verse refers to Christ. At Solomon’st i me the house of David was a flourishing tree, but a short time later that tree began to be cut down. Eventually, it became a stump consisting mainly of two persons— Joseph and Mary. Out of that stump a rod, a sprout, came out—the little child Jesus. That was God’s building a house for David and giving David a seed
创造者和受造之物
The Creator and a Creature
7歌罗西一章十二节告诉我们，基督是神所分给我们的分；十五节说，这位基督是『不能看见之神的像，是一切受造之物的首生者。』神是创造者，基督是创造者的像。作为这样的一位，祂必定是神圣的。但祂也是一切受造之物的首生者；这指明祂也是受造之物。祂既成了一个有血有肉的人，（来二14，）就必是受造之物。因此，祂有神性，也有人性；祂是神，也是人；祂是创造者，也是受造之物。
7Colossians 1:12 tells us that Christ is God’s allotted portion to us, and verse 15 says that this Christ is “the image of the invisible God, the Firstborn of all creation.” God is the Creator, and Christ is the image of the Creator. As such a One, He is surely divine. He is also the Firstborn of all creation. This indicates that He is also a creature. Since He became a man with blood and flesh (Heb. 2:14), surely He is a creature. Therefore, He is both divine and human. He is God and He is also a man. He is the Creator and He is also a creature
基督是人子，坐在天上的宝座上
Christ as the Son of Man Sitting on the Throne in Heaven
8许多人不知道基督复活和升天后，仍然有人性；有的人还强烈的反对，说基督不再是人。然而，马太二十六章六十三至六十四节清楚的启示，祂如今仍然是人。当祂受议会审问时，他们责问祂：『你是神的儿子基督不是？』耶稣回答说，『你们要看见人子，坐在那大能者的右边，驾著天上的云而来。』今天，基督是人子，坐在天上的宝座上；当祂再来的时候，仍然是人子。
8Many do not know that after His resurrection and ascension Christ still has His humanity, and others would strongly disagree, saying that Christ is no longer a man. However, Matthew 26:63-64 reveals clearly that He is still a man. When He was being judged by the Sanhedrin, they charged Him: “Tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God.” In answering Jesus said, “You will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power and coming on the clouds of heaven.” Today Christ as the Son of Man is sitting on the throne in heaven, and He will come again also as the Son of Man.
9基督是人，完全与神的经纶有关。因此，祂的人性有重大的意义。祂是人，已经被神高举；他也是得荣的人，现今坐在诸天之上。在这里，我要请你们思考一首高举基督是人的诗歌（诗歌一一五首）：
9Christ’s being a man is altogether related to God’s economy. His humanity, therefore, means a great deal. He has been exalted by God as a man, and as a glorified man He is now sitting in the heavens. At this point, I would ask you to consider a hymn on His exaltation as a man (Hymns, #132):
10一 .看哪，耶稣天上坐著！我主基督登宝座！祂是那人神所高举，荣耀、尊贵已得著。
101. Lo! in heaven Jesus sitting, Christ the Lord is there enthroned; As the man by God exalted, With God’s glory He is crowned
11二 .祂曾穿上人的性情，照神计划且死过，带著身体从死复活，仍然是人升天坐。
112. He hath put on human nature, Died according to God’s plan, Resurrected with a body, And ascended as a man
12三 .在祂里面神降为卑，神来地上同人处；在祂里面人升为高，人到天上同神住。
123. God in Him on earth was humbled, God with man was domiciled; Man in Him in heav’n exalted, Man with God is reconciled
13四 .祂是真神与人调和，神在人里被宣告；祂是真人与神联合，人在神里得荣耀。
134. He as God with man is mingled, God in man is testified; He as man with God is blended, Man in God is glorified
14五 .从那升天得荣耶稣，降下包罗万有灵；耶稣身位和祂工作，全由这灵来证明。
145. From the Glorified in heaven The inclusive Spirit came; All of Jesus’ work and Person Doth this Spirit here proclaim
15六 .和那升天得荣耶稣，今天教会能联合；藉著这位耶稣的灵，基督肢体能同活。
156. With the Glorified in heaven Is the Church identified; By the Spirit of this Jesus Are His members edified
七 .看哪，一人天上坐著！万有之主在宝座！这是救主耶稣基督，荣耀、尊贵永得著！
7. Lo! a man is now in heaven As the Lord of all enthroned; This is Jesus Christ our Savior, With God’s glory ever crowned
16我要你们注意『和那升天得荣耶稣，今天教会能联合』这句话。基督是人，已经得荣并被高举，今天我们能与祂联合。
16I would call your attention to the lines which say that the church is identified with the “the Glorified in heaven.” Christ has been glorified and exalted as a man, and we are identified with Him.
藉著身体复活
Resurrected with a body
17约翰二十章和路加二十四章证明，基督是带著身体复活的。在基督复活当天晚上，门徒们聚集在门窗关闭的房间里。门虽然没有开，主耶稣却突然来到他们中间。（约二十～22。）有些门徒不能相信那是带著肉身的耶稣，所以主耶稣要祂的门徒摸祂的手和脚。（路二四36～43。）祂有一个实在的身体能给人摸著，但祂却能进到门窗关闭的房间里。这是个奥秘。
17Both John 20 and Luke 24 provide evidence that Christ was resurrected with a body. On the night of His resurrection, the disciples were gathered together in a closed room. There was no opening, yet the Lord Jesus was suddenly in their midst (John 20:19-22). Some of the disciples could not believe 19 that it was Jesus with a physical body, so the Lord Jesus asked His disciples to touch His hands and feet (Luke 24:36-43). He had a real body that could be touched, yet He entered a closed room without any opening. This is a mystery.
18基督有人性，也有神性；祂是创造者，也是受造之物；祂仍然有肉身，却住在我们的灵里。我们没有能力将这些事调在一起。即使在物质的范围里，有许多事我们都不能了解，更何况神圣的事？我们只有藉著圣经这本启示的书，才能明白每一件事的实际。离了圣经，我们无法认识神、人和宇宙。
18Christ is human and divine; He is the Creator and He is also a creature; He still has a physical body, yet He dwells in our spirit. We simply do not have the capacity to reconcile these things. Even in the physical realm there are many things that we cannot understand. How can we understand all the divine things? We can understand the reality of everything only through the Bible, a book of revelation. Apart from the Bible, we cannot know God, man, or the universe
基督这位大卫的后裔，
CHRIST AS THE SEED OF DAVID
成为我们的一切，
BECOMING EVERYTHING TO US
且在召会、身体、并新人里
AND BEING ALL IN ALL IN THE CHURCH
是一切的一切
IN THE BODY, AND IN THE NEW MAN
19圣经清楚的启示基督的许多方面。在撒下七章，神应许给大卫一个后裔。最终，这个大卫的后裔被标出为神的儿子。（罗一3～4。）今天基督这位大卫的后裔，对我们成了一切的一切。祂是神的中心和普及，祂是轴心和圆周。祂是神和人的浓缩及终极完成。祂是包罗万有、延展无限的基督。祂是神，又是人。祂是创造者，又是受造之物。祂是首先，也是末后。（启一17。）祂是始，也是终。祂在万有中充满万有。（弗一23，）祂也终极完成为那灵。祂是我们的食物、我们的饮料、我们的呼吸、我们的衣服。祂是身体所有的肢体，又在所有肢体之内。身体不是头，头也不是身体。但基督是头，又是身体。（林前十二12，西一18。）作为身体的我们，在生命、性情、构成上，与作头的基督是一样的。最终，这位基督是新人里的每一个人。（西三10～11。）在新人里，任何国籍、任何种族、或任何阶级的人都没有地位；只有基督有地位。
19The Bible is a book that clearly reveals Christ in many aspects. In 2 Samuel 7 God promised a seed to David. Eventually, this seed of David was designated the Son (Rom. 1:3-4). Today Christ as the seed of David has become all in all to us. He is the centrality and universality of God. He is the hub and the circumference. He is the condensation and consummation of God and man. He is the all - inclusive, all - extensive Christ. He is God and He is man. He is the Creator and He is a creature. He is the First and He is the Last (Rev. 1:17). He is the beginning and He is the end. He fills all in all (Eph. 1:23), and He has been consummated to be the Spirit. He is our food, our drink, our breath, and our clothing. He is also every member of the Body and He is within every member. The Body is not the Head, nor the Head the Body, but Christ is both the Head and the Body (1 Cor. 12:12; Col. 1:18). In life, in nature, in constitution, we as the Body are the same as Christ the Head. Eventually, this Christ is every person in the new man (Col. 3:10-11). In the new man there is no room for any nation, any race, or any class of persons. There is room only for Christ.
20关于这点，我们需要异象，看见我们一无所是。我们已经被基督废除，基督已经成为我们众人。在召会，在身体，在新人里，基督是一切，又在一切之内。基督的身位是宇宙中最大的奥秘。关于祂的一切事都是奥秘的，但这一切事都是真实的。我们能经历基督作那灵，因为祂一直在我们里面，并与我们同在，甚至到这世代的终结。（太二八20。）无论在那里，有两三个人被聚集到主的名里，那里就有祂在他们中间。（十八20。）
20Regarding this, we need a vision to see that we are nothing. We have been annulled by Christ, and Christ has become all of us. In the church, in the Body, and in the new man, Christ is all, and He is in all. The person of Christ is the greatest mystery in the universe. With Him, everything is a mystery, yet everything is real. We can experience Christ as the Spirit because He is within us and with us all the time, even until the consummation of the age (Matt. 28:20). Where there are two or three gathered into His name, He is in their midst (18:20
神大能的救恩
GOD’S DYNAMIC SALVATION
乃是三一神自己经过了过程，
BEING THE TRIUNE GOD HIMSELF PROCESSED
成了浓缩、终极完成、赐生命、包罗万有的灵
TO BECOME THE CONDENSED, CONSUMMATED, LIFE-GIVING, ALL-INCLUSIVE SPIRIT
21作基督徒不是调整自己或改良自己，那些都是宗教的事，与神大能的救恩无关。神大能的救恩乃是三一神自己经过了过程，成了浓缩、终极完成、赐生命、包罗万有的灵。祂既是这样的一位，我们就能藉著祷告，从我们的灵来接触祂。只要我们从灵里有一点祷告，就能接触这位包罗万有的灵。祂是实际、真实、活泼、新鲜，有行动的。祂是父神、子神和灵神。祂是救赎主，也是拯救主。祂是我们的生命，也是我们的一切；祂甚至就是我们。祂成为我们，为要使我们成为祂。这就是神大能的救恩。从永远到永远，神的目的乃是要使祂自己成为我们，使我们在生命、性情和构成上（但不是在神格上）成为祂。事实上，这就是撒下七章的豫言，说到大卫的后裔要称为神的儿子。祂是神也是人，是人也是神。祂这位神的长子，是我们的长兄；我们这些祂的众弟兄，乃是神的众子。在神大能的救恩里，我们不必调整自己，也不必改良自己。我们所需要的，乃是让这一位藉著新陈代谢的变化过程作到我们里面。藉著这个过程，祂要在我们里面行动，逐渐的把我们变化成为祂的形像，（林后三18，）直到我们在生命、性情、和构成上完全像祂。这就是神的救恩，这也是圣经中的启示。
21Being a Christian is not a matter of adjusting ourselves or improving ourselves. Such things are something of religion and have nothing to do with God’s dynamic salvation. God’s dynamic salvation is just the Triune God Himself passing through the processes to become the condensed, consummated, life-giving, all-inclusive Spirit. As such a One He can be contacted through our prayer from our spirit. When we pray even a little from our spirit, we contact this all-inclusive Spirit. He is real, genuine, living, fresh, and moving. He is God the Father, God the Son, and God the Spirit. He is the Redeemer and the Savior. He is life and everything to us. He is even us. He has become us in order to make us Him. This is God’s dynamic salvation. God’sin tent i on from eternity to eternity is to make Himself us, that we might become Him in life, in nature, and in constitution (but not in the Godhead). This is actually the prophecy in 2 Samuel 7 concerning the seed of David who is called the Son of God. He is divine as well as human; He is human as well as divine. He, the firstborn Son of God, is our elder Brother, and we, His many brothers, are the many sons of God. In God’s dynamic salvation there is no need for us to adjust ourselves or improve ourselves. What we need is for this One to be wrought into us through the metabolic process of transformation. Through this process He will move in us and gradually transform us into His image (2 Cor. 3:18) until we are fully the same as He in life, in nature, and in constitution. This is God’ss alvation, and this is the revelation in the Bible
