受吸引追求基督以得满足（二）

Drawn to Pursue Christ for Satisfaction (2)
1读经：雅歌一章九节至二章七节。在一章二至四节上半，我们看见基督的佳偶羡慕基督，寻求祂，受祂的爱并祂的甜美所吸引，快跑追随祂。基督是可悦、甜美的，并且满了膏油的香味。不但如此，祂的爱令人愉快，比酒更美。所有爱基督的人都受祂的爱所吸引、所困迫。（林后五14。）
1Scripture Reading: S.S. 1:9—2:7 In 1:2-4a we see that the lover of Christ yearned for Christ, sought Him, and was attracted by His love and drawn by Him in His sweetness to run after Him. Christ is pleasant, sweet, and full of fragrance as ointment. Furthermore, His love is cheering, better than wine. All the lovers of Christ are attracted and constrained by His love (2 Cor. 5:14
2在雅歌一章四节下半至八节，良人回应祂佳偶的羡慕和寻求，带她进入内室（她的灵）有亲密的交通。那个交通引导基督的佳偶进入召会生活，就是羊群所表征的。（歌一，约十16。）基督的佳偶进入召会生活以后，就开始被圣灵所变化。离了召会生活，我们无法被变化。召会生活是圣灵用来变化我们的重要凭藉。圣灵用召会中的圣徒来变化我们。参被那灵重造而得变化基督的佳偶被那灵重造而得变化。（歌一9～16上，二1～3上。）那灵是复合、包罗万有、七倍加强、赐生命、且内住的灵，就是终极完成之三一神的终极完成。这灵实际上就是藉著重造我们来作变化工作的神自己。变化包括一种新陈代谢的过程，藉此那灵就重造我们。这新陈代谢的变化现今在召会生活中，一直在我们里面进行著。
2In Song of Songs 1:4b - 8 the Beloved answered His lover's yearning and seeking and brought her into the inner chamber (her spirit) to have intimate fellowship. That fellowship led the lover of Christ to enter into the church life, signified by the flock (v. 8; John 10:16). After the lovers of Christ enter into the church life, 8 they begin to be transformed by the Holy Spirit. Apart from the church life we cannot be transformed. The church life is a very important means used by the Holy Spirit to transform us. The Holy Spirit is transforming us with the saints in the church. III. TRANSFORMED BY THE REMAKING OF THE SPIRIT The lover of Christ is transformed by the remaking of the Spirit (S. S. 1:9-16a; 2:1-3a). The Spirit is the compound, all - inclusive, sevenfold intensified, life - giving, and indwelling Spirit, who is the consummation of the consummated Triune God. This Spirit is actually God Himself doing the work of transformation by remaking us. Transformation involves a metabolic process by which the Spirit remakes us. This metabolic transformation is now going on within us in the church life.
一 基督的佳偶从很强的天然人，变化成为信靠祂，用单一的眼仰望祂的人
A. The Lover of Christ Being Transformed from a Strong Natural Person into a Person Who Trusts in Him and Looks to Him with a Single Eye
3基督的佳偶从很强的天然人（法老车上套的骏马－一9），变化成为过著不倚靠自己，乃信靠主的生活（百合花－歌二1～2，太六28），并用单一的眼（好像鸽子眼－歌一15下，太十16）仰望祂的人。起初，基督佳偶的天然很强，好像法老车上套的骏马，但她渐渐变化成为百合花，就是不再满了天然力量，却满了生命的人。这样一个被变化的人，现今用单一的眼仰望主。她惟一的目标，惟一的目的，就是她所爱的那位。
3The lover of Christ is transformed from a strong natural person (a mare among Pharaoh's chariots—1:9) into a person who lives a life not relying upon herself but trusting in Him (lily — 2:1-2; Matt. 6:28) and looking to Him with a single eye (eyes like doves—S.S. 1:15b; Matt. 10:16). At the beginning, the lover of Christ is strong naturally, like a mare among Pharaoh's chariots, but gradually she is transformed into a lily, one who is no longer full of natural strength but is full of life. Such a transformed one now looks to the Lord with a single eye. Her one goal, her one object, is the One whom she loves.
二 良人珍赏她对祂服从的秀美
B. The Beloved Appreciating Her Loveliness in Submission to Him
4『你的两腮，因发辫的装饰而秀美，你的颈项，因珠串而华丽。』（歌一10。）这里良人珍赏她对祂服从的秀美（两腮因发辫的装饰而秀美），以及她对变化的灵顺从的美丽（颈项的珠串）。这基督佳偶的彰显满了服从，随著又有顺从。我们服从主，就必然顺从祂。
4Your cheeks are lovely with plaits of ornaments,/ Your neck with strings of jewels" (S.S. 1:10). Here the Beloved appreciates her loveliness in submission to Him (cheeks lovely with plaits of ornaments) and her beauty in obedience to the transforming Spirit (neck with strings of jewels). The expression of this lover of Christ is full of submission followed by obedience. When we submit to the Lord, we will surely obey Him
三 变化的灵和她的同伴，藉著基督救赎的工作，用神生命的构成装饰她
C. The Transforming Spirit and Her Companions Adorning Her with the Constitution of the Life of God by the Redeeming Work of Christ
5『我们要为你编上金辫，镶上银钉。』（11。）变化的灵和她的同伴（我们），要藉著基督救赎的工作（银钉），用神生命的构成（金辫）装饰她。那灵和同伴们将神的性情和基督的救赎放在一起，作她的装饰。那灵变化我们，但那灵需要我们的同伴作祂的帮手。我们若领悟这点，就会赞美主灵，祂给了我们许多同伴，在变化我们时作祂的帮手。四基督与祂的佳偶坐席的时候，
5We will make you plaits of gold/With studs of silver" (v. 11). The transforming Spirit and the lover's companions (we) will adorn her with the constitution of the life of God (plaits of gold) by the redeeming work of Christ (studs of silver). God's nature and Christ's redemption are put together by the Spirit and the companions to be her adornment. The Spirit transforms us, but the Spirit needs our companions to be His helpers. If we realize this, we will praise the Lord Spirit that He has given us many companions to be His helpers in transforming us. D. At the Table Where Christ Is Feasting with His Lover
她向著祂的爱散放出香味
Her Love toward Him Spreading Forth Its Fragrance
6『王正坐席的时候，我的哪哒香膏发出香味。』（12。）在基督与祂的佳偶坐席的时候（王正坐席的时候），她向著基督的爱（哪哒香膏）散放出香味。（参约十二1～3。）在召会生活中，小排常是与主这位看不见的客人坐席。在建立起来的活力排里，爱基督的人自然而然向基督散放出令人愉悦的香味。
6While the king was at his table,/My spikenard gave forth its fragrance" (v. 12). At the table where Christ is feasting with His lover (the king at his table), her love (spikenard) toward Him spreads forth its fragrance (cf. John 12:1-3). In the church life the small groups are often a feast with the Lord as the invisible guest. In the built-up vital groups, the lovers of Christ spontaneously spread their pleasant fragrance toward Christ
五 她私下的怀抱著爱和信，享受祂的死﹔她也公开的在那作救赎泉源之基督的众召会中，享受祂的复活
E. She Enjoying Him Privately in His Death in Her Embracing Love and Faith
7『我以我的良人为一袋没药，夜里藏在我胸怀间。我以我的良人为一束凤仙花，在隐基底的葡萄园中。』（歌一13～14。）在这两节里我们看见，她私下的（夜里）怀抱著爱和信（胸怀－提前一14，帖前五8），享受祂的死（一袋没药）。每个爱基督的人都满了信和爱，并用信和爱怀抱祂。不但如此，她也公开的在那作救赎泉源（隐基底－『羔羊的泉源』）之基督的众召会（葡萄园）中，享受基督的复活（一束凤仙花）。在众召会中，基督生长如成束的凤仙花。在众召会中也有救赎的泉源。召会不断被基督救赎的泉源所滋润。由此我们看见，我们属灵生活的主要部分与召会生活有关。
7" My beloved is to me a bundle of myrrh / That lies at night between my breasts. / My beloved is to me a cluster of henna flowers / In the vineyards of En - gedi " (S. S. 1:13-14). In these verses we see that she enjoys Him privately (at night) in His death (a bundle of myrrh) in her embracing with love and faith (breasts — 1 Tim. 1:14; 1 Thes. 5:8). Every lover of Christ is full of faith and love and embraces Him with faith and love. Furthermore, she enjoys Him publicly in His resurrection (a cluster of henna flowers) in the churches (vineyards) of Christ as the fountain of redemption (En-gedi—"the fountain of the lamb"). In the churches Christ grows as clusters of henna flowers. In the churches there is also a fountain of redemption. The church is continually watered by the fountain of Christ's redemption. From this we see that a major part of our spiritual life is related to the church life.
六 祂珍赏她的美丽，因她凭那灵，用单一的眼注视祂
F. He Appreciating Her Beauty in Her Looking to Him with a Single Eye by the Spirit
8『哦，我的佳偶，你是美丽的！哦，你是美丽的！你的眼好像鸽子眼。』（歌一１５。）祂珍赏她的美丽，因她凭那灵，以单一的眼（眼好像鸽子眼－１５）注视祂。在主耶稣看来，我们的美丽第一个显著的方面，就是我们向祂单一的眼。我们
8Oh, you are beautiful, my love!/Oh, you are beautiful! Your eyes are like doves" (S.S. 1:15). He appreciates her beauty in looking to Him with a single eye by the Spirit (eyes like doves—v. 15). The first striking aspect of our beauty in the sight of the Lord Jesus is our single eye toward Him. By the Spirit we look to Him with a single eye
9凭那灵，用单一的眼注视祂。
9G. She Appreciating His Beauty in His Pleasantness
七 她珍赏祂的美丽可悦
10良人和佳偶彼此珍赏。『哦，我的良人哪，你是美丽的，是可喜悦的！』（１６上。）在本节里，她珍赏祂的美丽可悦。
10The Beloved and the lover appreciate each other. "Oh, you are beautiful, my beloved; indeed, pleasant!" (v. 16a). In this verse she appreciates His beauty in His pleasantness
八 她谦卑的认识自己不过是微小的人
H. She Humbly Realizing That She Is a Small Person
11『我是沙仑的玫瑰花，是谷中的百合花。』（二１。）本节的玫瑰花，是指在一种犹太地受藐视的野玫瑰。这里佳偶谦卑的认识自己不过是个微小的人，一面在平常的世界里（沙仑，意『平原』），过著美丽却受藐视的生活（玫瑰花）；另一面在低微的地方（谷中），过著纯洁信靠的生活（百合花）。这乃是她关于自己谦卑的承认和认识。
11I am a rose of Sharon,/A lily of the valleys" (2:1). The word for rose in this verse refers to a wild rose, despised in the land of Judea. Here the lover humbly realizes that she is but a small person, living on the one hand a pretty but despised life (rose) in the common world (Sharon, meaning "plain"), and on the other hand a pure and trusting life (lily) in the low place (valleys). This was her humble recognition and realization regarding herself
九 祂珍赏她是祂的佳偶，过著纯洁信靠的生活
I. He Appreciating Her as His Love Who Lives a Pure and Trusting Life
12『我的佳偶在女子中，好像百合花在荆棘里。』（２。）这里祂珍赏她在那些爱世界的淫妇（女子－雅四４）中是祂的佳偶（书拉密女），在污秽不信的人（荆棘）中间过著纯洁信靠的生活（百合花）。十她珍赏祂是丰富供备的源头，
12" As a lily among thorns, / So is my love among the daughters " (v. 2). Here He appreciates her as His love (Shulammite) among the world - loving adulteresses (daughters — James 4:4) who lives a pure and trusting life (lily) among the filthy and unbelieving people (thorns). J. She Appreciating Him as the Source of Rich Provision
应时的供应她
Who Supplies Her in a Timely Way
13『我的良人在男子中，如同苹果树在树林中。』（歌二３上。）这里她珍赏祂是丰富供备（苹果树）的源头，应时的供应她。佳偶和良人都是美丽的，他们也珍赏彼此的美丽。这给我们看见，变化使得基督与祂的佳偶之间产生相互的珍赏。
13As the apple tree among the trees of the wood,/ So is my beloved among the sons" (S.S. 2:3a). Here she appreciates Him as the source of rich provision (apple tree) who supplies her in a timely way. The lover and the Beloved both have beauty, and they appreciate the beauty in each other. This shows us that transformation produces a mutual appreciation between Christ and His lover
肆 满足于在基督里的安息与享受
IV. SATISFIED WITH THE REST AND ENJOYMENT IN CHRIST
14佳偶满足于在基督里的安息与享受。（一１６下～１７，二３下～７。）满足需要两件事：安息与享受。首先，我们需要安息，然后，我们安息时，有一些享受。这安息
14The lover is satisfied with the rest and enjoyment in Christ (1:16b-17; 2:3b-7). Satisfaction requires two things—rest and enjoyment. First, we need to rest and then, as we are at rest, we have some enjoyment. The issue of this rest and enjoyment is satisfaction
15与享受的结果就是满足。
15
一 她得著满足
A. She Being Satisfied
１ 在主的怀抱中，安息于主𫗪养的生命，作她在夜间歇息之处，并安息于主的死与复活，作为遮蔽
1. With Her Rest in His Feeding Life as the Resting Place in the Night in His Embracing and in His Death and His Resurrection as the Shelter
16她在主的怀抱中，（二６，）安息于主𫗪养的生命（翠绿），作她在夜间歇息之处（床榻），并安息于主的死（松树）与复活（香柏树），作为遮蔽（栋梁和椽子），而得满足。（一１６下～１７。）在豫表里，在表号里，松树表征基督的死，香柏树表征基督的复活，在复活里祂的人性是高尚且被拔高的。基督的死与复活乃是有栋梁和椽子的遮蔽。
16She is satisfied with her rest in His feeding life (green) as the resting place in the night (couch) in His embracing (2:6) and in His death (cypresses) and His resurrection (cedars) as the shelter (beams and rafters—1:16b-17). In typology, in figure, a cypress tree signifies Christ's death, and a cedar tree signifies Christ's resurrection, in which His humanity is high and uplifted. Christ's death and resurrection are a shelter with beams and rafters
２ 在白日欢欢喜喜的安歇在主作遮荫的罩盖之下，尝祂作甘甜应时的供应
2. With Her Delighting in Resting under Him as an Overshadowing Canopy in the Day and Her Tasting of Him as the Sweet, Timely Supply
17『我欢欢喜喜坐在他的荫下，尝他果子的滋味觉得甘甜。』（二３下。）这启示她也在白日欢欢喜喜的安歇在主作遮荫的罩盖（遮覆－赛四５～６，林后十二９）之下，尝主作甘甜应时的供应（甘甜的果子），而得满足。（歌二３下。）
17"In his shade I delighted and sat down,/And his fruit was sweet to my taste" (2:3b). This reveals that she is satisfied also with her delighting in resting under Him as an overshadowing canopy in the day (shade—Isa. 4:5-6; 2 Cor. 12:9) and her tasting of Him as the sweet, timely supply (sweet fruit).
３ 在可享受之召会生活中，凯旋之爱展开在她以上
3. With Triumphant Love Spread over Her in the Enjoyable Church Life
18『他带我入筵宴所，以爱为旗在我以上。求你给我葡萄饼增补我力，给我苹果使我苏醒；因我思爱成病。』（二４～５。）这里佳偶满足于在可享受之召会生活（筵宴所）中，凯旋之爱（爱之旗）展开在她以上，在那里她因著主作生命之粮（约六３５－葡萄饼）而得维持，并因著主作生命果（启二７，二二２－苹果）而得复苏，好医治她思爱的病。基督以祂自己作饼维持我们，并以祂自己作果子使我们复苏。
18He brought me into the banqueting house,/And his banner over me was love./Sustain me with raisin cakes,/Refresh me with apples,/For I am sick with love" (S.S. 2:4-5). Here the lover is satisfied with triumphant love (banner of love) spread over her in the enjoyable church life (banqueting house), in which she is sustained with Him, Christ, as bread of life (John 6:35—raisin cakes) and refreshed with Him as fruit of life (Rev. 2:7; 22:2—apples) to heal her lovesickness. Christ sustains us with Himself as bread and refreshes us with Himself as fruit
二 祂顾到她在祂里面的安息
B. He Taking Care of Her Rest in Him
19『耶路撒冷的众女儿阿，我指著羚羊，或田野的母鹿，嘱咐你们，不要惊动，不要叫醒我的佳偶，等她自己情愿。』（歌二７。）这里我
19I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem,/By the gazelles or by the hinds of the fields,/Not to rouse up or awaken my love/Until she pleases" (S.S. 2:7). Here we see that He takes care of her rest in Him
20们看见，祂顾到她在祂里面的安息。
20
１ 祂看她是一个容易受惊动的人
1. Considering Her One Easily Stirred Up
21祂看她是一个容易受惊动的人（羚羊或田野的母鹿）。每个爱基督的人都是很容易受惊动的人。
21He considers her one easily stirred up (gazelles or hinds of the fields). Every lover of Christ is a person who can easily be stirred up
２ 祂郑重的嘱咐爱管闲事的信徒
2. Solemnly Charging the Meddling Believers
22祂郑重的吩咐（嘱咐）爱管闲事的信徒（耶路撒冷的众女儿）。在召会生活的圣徒中间，有好些爱管闲事的弟兄姊妹。他们关心别人的事，不关心自己需要爱主，并在神圣的生命里长大。这样爱管闲事的人，由耶路撒冷的众女儿所表征。
22He solemnly charges (adjure) the meddling believers (daughters of Jerusalem). Among the saints in the church life, there are a number of meddling brothers and sisters. They care about the things of others and not about their own need to love the Lord and to grow in the divine life. Such meddling ones are signified by the daughters of Jerusalem
３ 不要把她从安息在基督里的经历中叫醒
3. Not to Awaken Her from Her Experience of Christ in Resting in Him
23祂嘱咐人不要把她从安息在基督里的经历中叫醒。在她基督徒生活的经历中，她达到了一个目标，就是在基督里安息并经历基督，且在召会生活里得著满足。基督暂时同意她的情形，不要任何人惊动她。这是爱基督的人基督徒生活第一阶段的结束。
23His charge is that no one awaken her from her present experience of Christ in resting in Him. In her Christian life she has reached the goal of resting in and experiencing Christ and being satisfied in the church life. Temporarily, Christ agrees with her situation and does not want anyone to awaken her. This is the end of the first stage of the Christian life of a lover of Christ
24我们许多人能从经历见证，情形的确是这样。这时我们能说，『我安息在基督里，我也享受基督。我被祂遮蔽，我也在祂里面。祂的生命是我的床榻，祂的死与复活是遮蔽我的椽子。在召会生活这里，基督的爱是在我以上展开的旗。我满足了。』
24Many of us can testify from experience that this truly is the situation. At this point we can say, "I am resting in Christ and I am enjoying Christ. I am covered by Him and I am in Him. His life is my couch, and His death and resurrection are the rafters which cover me. Here in the church life Christ's love is the banner spread over me. I am satisfied
４ 等她自己觉得乐意对主有第二次的追求
4. Until She Feels Pleasant in Her Second Pursuit after Him
25祂允许她留在安息里，等她自己觉得乐意对主有第二次的追求（她自己情愿）。我们来到下一段就会看见，基督不要祂的佳偶留在这第一阶段。她需要进入基督的佳偶之基督徒生活的第二阶段－经历基督的十字架以破碎己的阶段。基督的佳偶不该留在己里，让己成为中心，却该藉著十字架经历己的破碎。
25He allows her to remain at rest until she feels pleasant in her second pursuit after Him (she pleases). As we will see when we come to the next section, Christ does not intend that His lover stay in this first stage. She needs to enter into the second stage of the Christian life of a lover of Christ— the stage of experiencing the cross of Christ for the breaking of the self. The lover of Christ should not stay in the self, allowing the self to become the center, but should experience the breaking of the self by the cross
