供物的要义

A General Definition of the Offerings
1读经：利未记一至七章。在本篇信息中，我们要说到供物的要义。壹供物与帐幕的关系出埃及记与利未记二书有密切的关联。出埃及记结束于帐幕的设立，而利未记开始于供物。帐幕与供物都是基督的豫表。这指明二书的连续性。虽然出埃及记和利未记在性质和要点上不同，但二者之间却有直接的关系。
1Scripture Reading: Lev. 1—7 In this message we shall give a general definition of the offerings. I. THE OFFERINGS IN RELATION TO THE TABERNACLE The books of Exodus and Leviticus are closely related. Exodus ends with the setting up of the tabernacle, and Leviticus begins with the offerings. Both the tabernacle and the offerings are types of Christ. The fact that Exodus ends with the tabernacle and Leviticus begins with the offerings indicates a direct continuation. Although Exodus and Leviticus are different in nature and in their points, there is nevertheless a direct relation between them
一 帐幕被建造并建立起来；供物和祭司的职任得以设立
A. The Tabernacle Built and Set Up, and the Offerings with the Priesthood Ordained
2在出埃及记，帐幕被建造并建立起来。帐幕被立起，不仅让神居住，也让我们居住。在利未记，供物（利一～七）和祭司的职任（利八～十）得以设立。二基督是帐幕，将神带给人；
2In Exodus the tabernacle was built and set up. The tabernacle was set up not only for God to dwell in but also for us to dwell in. In Leviticus the offerings (chs. 1—7) with the priesthood (chs. 8—10) are ordained. B. Christ as the Tabernacle Bringing God to Man
基督是供物，将人带给神
and Christ as the Offerings Bringing Man to God
3因著我们的基督奇妙且包罗，单凭字句不足以启示、描述祂，所以就需要有豫表﹔这些豫表实际上就是图画。帐幕和供物都是基督的豫表。基督是帐幕，将神带给人；基督是供物，将人带给神。这指明这里有著双向的交通，有来有往的交通。基督作帐幕来到我们这里，祂作供物去到神那里。帐幕是基督的表号，表征，豫表。基督乃是藉著成为肉体来作帐幕。话，就是神，成了肉体，支搭帐幕在我们中间。（约一１，14。）基督是神成为肉体来作人，因此祂是神人；这位神人就是帐幕。基督是帐幕，将神带给人。基督在地上，就是神具体化身在帐幕里。这是这双向交通的一向－神在基督里藉著成为肉体来到我们这里。
3Because our Christ is wonderful and all - inclusive, plain words are not adequate to reveal Him and describe Him. Types, which are actually pictures, are also necessary. Both the tabernacle and the offerings are types of Christ. Christ as the tabernacle brings God to man, and Christ as the offerings brings man to God. This indicates that there is a two-way traffic, a traffic coming and going. Christ comes to us as the tabernacle and He goes to God as the offerings. The tabernacle is a sign, a figure, a type, of Christ. It was through incarnation that Christ came as the tabernacle. The Word, which was God, became flesh and tabernacled among us (John 1:1, 14). Christ is the very God incarnated to be a man; hence, He is the God-man, and this God-man is the tabernacle. As the tabernacle, Christ brought God to man. Christ’s being on earth was a matter of God embodied in a tabernacle. Here we have one aspect of the two-way traffic—God coming to us in Christ through incarnation.
4约翰一章二十九节告诉我们，那是帐幕的基督，也是神的羔羊：『看哪，神的羔羊，除去世人之罪的！』基督是神的羔羊，乃是一切供物的总和，总体。一面，基督是帐幕；另一面，祂是供物。祂是帐幕，已经将神带给我们；祂是供物，现今将我们众人带给神。基督作帐幕，在于成为肉体；基督作供物，在于钉死并复活。基督在成为肉体里来，又经过了钉死与复活。这是双向的交通，将神带给我们，又将我们带给神；使神与我们成为一，又使我们与神成为一。
4John 1:2 9 tells us that the Christ who is the tabernacle is also the Lamb of God: “Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” Christ as the Lamb of God is the totality, the aggregate, of all the offerings. On the one hand, Christ is the tabernacle; on the other hand, He is the offerings. As the tabernacle, He has brought God to us. As the offerings, He is now bringing us all to God. Christ’s being the tabernacle is a matter of incarnation. Christ’s being the offerings is a matter of crucifixion and resurrection. Christ came in incarnation and He went through crucifixion and resurrection. This is the two-way traffic that brings God to us and brings us to God, making God one with us and us one with God.
三 帐幕使我们可以经历神，与神联结；供物使我们可以享受神，与神调和
C. The Tabernacle Being Good for Us to Experience, to Join to, God, and the Offerings Being Good for Us to Enjoy and Mingle with God
5帐幕使我们可以经历神，与神联结；供物使我们可以享受神，与神调和。经历神，与神联结，就是进入帐幕。当主耶稣在地上时，人接触祂。至终，门徒被带进祂里面，到这位成为肉体的神里面。因此，帐幕将神带给我们，使我们可以经历神，进入神，与神联结。
5The tabernacle is good for us to experience, to join to, God, and the offerings are good for us to enjoy and mingle with God. To experience, to join to, God is to enter into the tabernacle. When the Lord Jesus was on earth, people contacted Him. Eventually, the disciples were brought into Him, into the incarnated God. Thus, the tabernacle brings God to us that we may experience, enter into, join to, God
6帐幕和供物都表征基督。帐幕表征神在基督里，让我们接触祂，摸著祂，经历祂，进入祂，与祂联结。供物是神在基督里给我们是享受。我们藉著享受基督作供物，就与神调和。神在基督里是帐幕，居所，给我们亲近，接触，进入，拥有并经历。神在基督里也是一切的供物，让我们享受祂，接受祂，甚至吃祂，消化并吸取祂，使祂成为我们的构成。我们享受了供物，吃了供物以后，就进入帐幕，在那里享受神在基督里之所是的一切内容。主是帐幕和供物，这是奇妙的启示。我们能进入祂，也能享受祂，与祂调和。基督作供物，是给我们享受的，因为这些供物是可吃的，不仅给神吃，也给我们吃。我们能与神同享基督，同吃基督。这种相互的享受，好比我们在筳席上彼此鼓励来共享各式菜肴一样。筳席上的这种共享，乃是我们与神同享基督的图画。我们享受基督的某一面时，可以说，『父，愿你也享受基督的这一分。』父也许回答说，『孩子，愿你享受我正在享受的。』这是相互享受的交通，共享的交通。
6Both the tabernacle and the offerings signify Christ. The tabernacle signifies that God is in Christ for us to contact, to touch, to experience, to enter into, to join to, God. The offerings are God in Christ for our enjoyment. By enjoying Christ as the offerings we are mingled with God. God in Christ is the tabernacle, the dwelling place, for us to approach, contact, enter, possess, and experience. God in Christ is also all the offerings for us to enjoy Him, to take Him in, and even to eat, digest, and assimilate Him that He may become our constituent. After enjoying the offerings and eating them, we enter into the tabernacle, and there we enjoy all the contents of what God is in Christ. It is a wonderful revelation that the Lord is the tabernacle and the offerings. We can enter into Him, and we can enjoy Him and be mingled with Him. Christ as the offerings is for our enjoyment because these offerings are edible. They can be eaten not only by God but also by us. We can enjoy and eat Christ with God. This mutual enjoyment can be compared to the mutual enjoyment we have in a feast where we encourage one another to enjoy all the different dishes. This co-enjoyment in a feast is a picture of our enjoying Christ together with God. As we are enjoying Christ in a certain way, we may say, “Father, I would like You also to enjoy this portion of Christ.” Then the Father may reply, “Child, I would like you to enjoy what I am enjoying.” This is the fellowship of mutual enjoyment, the fellowship of co-enjoyment.
7凡我们所吃的都成为我们。我们若领悟这点，就会看见，反对神性与人性调和这神圣启示的人乃是愚昧的。藉著基督的救赎，凭著祂的灵，基督神圣的元素成了我们的食物。我们吃了这食物以后，就消化、吸收成为我们的纤维和细胞。这的确就是调和。圣经启示，创造的神成了人，就是神人，并且这人已经成了供物－燔祭、素祭、平安祭、赎罪祭、赎愆祭、摇祭、和举祭。这些供物成了我们的食物。这就是说，神在基督里是可吃的。藉著成为供物，神成了可吃的。藉著我们吃这些供物，神圣的元素就与人性调和。因此，基督不只是我们的居所，祂也是我们的食物，使我们享受神并与神调和。我们每一天不只可以享受神的同在，也可以享受祂的元素，祂的素质，甚至祂那可吃的成分。保罗的书信指明基督是可吃的，却没有告诉我们关于吃基督的细节。要看细节，我们需要来看利未记。利未记所启示的基督，是一位好作食物的基督。利未记不仅给我们『食品，』更给我们『烹煮』基督的『食谱。』
7Whatever we eat becomes us. If we realize this, we shall see that it is not wise to oppose the divine revelation concerning the mingling of divinity with humanity. Through Christ’s redemption and by His Spirit, Christ’s divine element becomes our food. After we eat this food, it is digested and assimilated to become our fibers and cells. Surely this is a matter of mingling. The Bible reveals that the creating God became a man, the God-man, and that this man has become the offerings—the burnt offering, the meal offering, the peace offering, the sin offering, the trespass offering, the wave offering, and the heave offering. These offerings have become food to us. This means that God in Christ is edible. God became edible by becoming the offerings. Through our eating of these offerings, the divine element is mingled with humanity. Thus, Christ is not only our dwelling place; He is also our food to enjoy God and be mingled with Him. Daily we may enjoy not only God’s presence but also His element, His essence, even His edible substance. Paul’s Epistles indicate that Christ is edible, but they do not give us the details concerning the eating of Christ. For the details, we need to come to the book of Leviticus. The Christ revealed in Leviticus is a Christ who is good for eating. Leviticus gives us not only the “groceries” but also the “recipe” for “cooking” Christ
8各种供物不仅叫我们享受神，也叫我们把神吸收到里面；这样吸收的结果就是调和。我们需要看见，我们正在与神调和，神也在将祂自己与我们调和。主耶稣成了那灵，就在我们灵里，每天来与我们调和。但这调和是在于我们吃祂，消化祂，并吸收祂。我们面前可能摆著美好的食物，但我们可能吃得不对，因而消化不良。同样，我们吃基督若吃得不对，也会得属灵的消化不良。在这种情形里，我们就吸收不到基督。我们需要学习如何吃基督、消化基督、并吸收基督。这样我们就会得著𫗪养，得著加力，并与神调和。
8All the offerings are not only for us to enjoy God but also to have God assimilated into our being. This assimilation results in mingling. We need to realize that we are being mingled with God and that God is mingling Himself with us. The Lord Jesus as the Spirit is in our spirit, and daily He is mingling Himself with us. But this mingling depends on our eating Christ, digesting Christ, and assimilating Christ. Good food may be set before us, but we may eat the food wrongly and thus get indigestion. Likewise, if we eat Christ wrongly, we shall get spiritual indigestion. In such a case, we shall not assimilate Christ. We need to learn how to eat Christ, digest Christ, and assimilate Christ. Then we shall be nourished, strengthened, and mingled with God.
四 帐幕是为著给神居住；供物是藉著我们的鉴赏和献上而给神享受
D. The Tabernacle Being for God to Dwell In, and the Offerings Being for God to Enjoy through Our Appreciation and Presentation
9帐幕是为著给神居住；供物是藉著我们的鉴赏和献上而给神享受。这是奇妙、美妙又奥秘的。帐幕不仅是给我们进入的，也是给神居住的。帐幕乃是神在基督里并藉著基督来到我们这里。这帐幕是神的居所，给神在基督里来居住。这就是说，神的具体化身就是神的居住。神居住在作祂具体化身的基督里。基督作供物不仅是给我们享受，更是给神享受。燔祭全是给神的食物，给神的享受。供物不仅叫我们享受神并与神调和，更叫神得著享受。所以，神不仅住在基督里，祂也享受基督。
9The tabernacle is for God to dwell in; the offerings are for God to enjoy through our appreciation and presentation. This is wonderful, marvelous, and mysterious. The tabernacle is not only for us to enter into but also for God to dwell in. The tabernacle is God coming to us in Christ and through Christ. This tabernacle is God’s dwelling place for God to dwell in Christ. This means that God’s embodiment is God’s dwelling. God dwells in Christ as His embodiment. Christ as the offerings is not only for our enjoyment but also for God’s enjoyment. The burnt offering is altogether for God’s food, for God’s enjoyment. The offerings are not only for us to enjoy God and to be mingled with God; they are also for God’s enjoyment. Therefore, God not only dwells in Christ—He also enjoys Christ
10帐幕是给神居住的，供物是给神享受的。这是说神住在自己里面，又享受自己么？这样一个问题的答案牵涉到神圣三一的奥秘。主耶稣说，『我在父里面，父在我里面。』（约十四10。）希伯来书启示基督将自己献上给神，叫神满足。在此我们看见一个奥秘：神成了一个人，为著神、也为著我们死在十字架上，然后又在复活里起来。供物是藉著我们的鉴赏和献上而给神享受。没有我们的鉴赏和献上基督作供物，神就无法对供物有享受。神在基督里来到我们这里，成了给祂自己的帐幕，居所。祂也成了给我们并给祂自己的各种供物。我们若不鉴赏这些供物，并献上给神，神就无法对供物有享受。这就如以色列人要在美地上劳苦，才有出产献上给神，我们也需要在基督身上劳苦，使我们能将祂呈献给神。在基督身上劳苦，就是极力享受祂，经历祂。我们越享受并经历基督，就越鉴赏祂。然后我们就该将基督呈献给神，让神享受。
10The tabernacle is for God’s dwelling, and the offerings are for God’s enjoyment. Does this mean that God dwells in Himself and enjoys Himself? The answer to such a question involves the mystery of the Trinity. The Lord Jesus says, “I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me” (John 14:10). The book of Hebrews reveals that Christ has presented Himself to God for God’s satisfaction. Here we see the mystery of God becoming a man to die on the cross and then rising up in resurrection for God and for us. The offerings are for God to enjoy through our appreciation and presentation. Without our appreciation and presentation of Christ as the offerings, God cannot have any enjoyment of the offerings. God has come to us in Christ, becoming the tabernacle, the dwelling place, for Himself. He has also become all the offerings for us and for Himself. If we do not appreciate these offerings and present them to God, God will not have any enjoyment of the offerings. Just as the Israelites were to labor on the good land to have the produce to offer to God, so we need to labor on Christ that we may be able to present Him to God. To labor on Christ is to endeavor to enjoy Him and to experience Him. The more we enjoy and experience Christ, the more we shall appreciate Him. Then we should present Christ to God for His enjoyment.
五 供物不是牺牲，乃是鉴赏基督的人所献给神的礼物
E. The Offerings Being Not Sacrifices but Presents to God by the Appreciators of Christ
11供物不是牺牲，乃是鉴赏基督的人所献给神的礼物。利未记一章二节说，『你要告诉以色列人，对他们说，你们若有人献供物给耶和华，就要从牛群或羊群中，带牲口来作供物。』『带』这个动词，也可译为『呈献』或『供献、』『供物』的原文是『各耳板，』意礼物或赠品。这里『呈献』和『礼物』二辞，原文是同字根。所以，供物乃是给神的礼物。以色列人要在美地上劳苦，然后将他们所享受并鉴赏的美地出产，献给神作礼物。五种主要的供物是为著叫我们与神有交通。利未记一至七章乃是说到神的儿女与神的交通。为著这个交通，就需要有礼物。
11The offerings are not sacrifices but presents to God by the appreciators of Christ. Leviticus 1:2 says, “Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, When anyone of you brings an offering to Jehovah, you shall bring your offering from the cattle, of the herd or of the flock.” The verb “brings” may also be translated “presents” or “offers.” The Hebrew word translated “offering” is corban and means a present, a gift. The Hebrew words for “presents” and “present” here are both from the same root. The offerings, therefore, are presents to God. The children of Israel were to labor on the good land and then offer to God as presents the produce of the good land which they enjoyed and appreciated. The five main offerings are for us to fellowship with God. Chapters one through seven of Leviticus speak about the fellowship God’s children have with God. For this fellowship there is the need of presents
12我们来到召会的聚会中，不该带著牺牲，乃该带著礼物呈献给神。牺牲是为著救赎、遮罪，礼物乃是赠品，为著我们与神之间有亲密的交通。我们为著这交通所带来的礼物，该是我们所经历的基督。我们珍赏这位基督，就该将祂献给神作礼物。甚至赎罪祭和赎愆祭也可以作我们带来给神的礼物。为著罪带来牺牲是很严肃的事﹔给亲爱的朋友带来礼物却不是严肃的，乃是甜美的。我们每次来到聚会中，都该感觉甜美，前来呈献亲爱、宝贵的礼物给神，让我们与祂同享。我们不该仅仅为著自己的难处，把基督当作牺牲献给神，乃该为著神的享受，并我们与祂的共享，把基督当作礼物献给神。
12When we come to the church meetings, we should come not with sacrifices but with presents to offer to God. Sacrifices are for redemption, for propitiation, whereas presents are gifts for intimate fellowship between us and God. The presents we bring for this fellowship should be the very Christ we have experienced. With much appreciation of this Christ, we should offer Him as a present to God. Even the sin offering and the trespass offering may be presents that we bring to God. To bring a sacrifice for sin is a matter of seriousness. To bring a present to an intimate friend is a matter not of seriousness but of sweetness. Every time we come to a meeting we should sense the sweetness of coming to present dear and precious presents to God for us to enjoy with Him. We should offer Christ to God not merely as the sacrifices for our problems but also as presents to God for His enjoyment and for our enjoyment with Him
六 献祭的条例乃是神圣烹饪的食谱
F. The Ordinances of the Offerings Being a Recipe of the Divine Cooking
13献祭的条例乃是神圣烹饪的食谱。基督是食物，我们是厨子，神与我们是同吃的人，共同享受基督作满足。这是利未记的最高点。就属灵一面说，没有甚么比我们在基督里享受三一神更高的了。
13The ordinances of the offerings are a recipe of the divine cooking. Christ is the groceries, we are the cooks, and God and we are the co-eaters enjoying Christ as the satisfaction. This is the highlight of the book of Leviticus. Spiritually speaking, nothing can be higher than our enjoyment of the Triune God in Christ
14你曾否领悟，召会的聚会是烹饪聚会，吃的聚会？我们说过到聚会中来吃，也唱过一首短诗『我们来吃。』（补充本诗歌二一五首。）然而，我们可能从未想过我们需要烹煮。食物在这里，吃的人也在这里，但厨子是谁？我有把握的说，神和那灵不是厨子，我们才是厨子。所以，我们都必须学习烹饪。从利未记的豫表，我们能看见神的确渴望享受基督。祂想要藉著我们对基督的鉴赏和献上而享受基督。然而，甚至到现在，我们还是太老旧、太传统、太肤浅、太宗教了。愿我们都看见，我们的神巴望享受基督。基督不该仅是我们的食物，也该藉著我们的鉴赏和献上，就是藉著我们的烹煮，而成为神的食物。我们都需要烹煮基督，使我们能以基督为神的食物。
14Have you ever realized that the church meeting is a cooking meeting, an eating meeting? We have spoken about coming to the meetings to eat, and in the meetings we have sung the short song “Come and Dine” (Hymns, #1148). However, we may never have had the thought that we need the cooking. The groceries are here, and the eaters are also here, but who are the cooks? I have the assurance to say that God and the Spirit are not the cooks but that we are the cooks. Therefore, we all must learn to cook. From the types in Leviticus, we can see that God surely desires to enjoy Christ. He wants to enjoy Christ through our appreciation of Christ and through our presentation of Christ. However, even up to now, we are still too, old, traditional, superficial, and religious. May we all see that our God desires to enjoy Christ. Christ should not only be our food but also God’s food through appreciation and presentation, that is, through our cooking. We all need to cook Christ that we may feed God with Christ.
贰 供物的种类
II. THE CATEGORIES OF THE OFFERINGS
15现在我们来看供物的种类。按照利未记，有五种主要的供物，主要的礼物：燔祭、素祭、平安祭、赎罪祭、和赎愆祭。我们需要利未记里供物的图画，使我们对事奉、敬拜、以及经历基督的观念，有革命性的改变。
15Now we come to the categories of the offerings. According to Leviticus, there are five main kinds of offerings, five main kinds of gifts: the burnt offering, the meal offering, the peace offering, the sin offering, and the trespass offering. We need the pictures of the offerings in Leviticus to revolutionize our concept concerning service, worship, and the experience of Christ
一 燔祭
A. The Burnt Offering
16燔祭是基督作神的满足。（利一１～17，六８～13。）燔祭是给神的食物，让神享受并得著满足。这供物要每天早晨和黄昏献上。
16The burnt offering is Christ for God’s satisfaction (1:1-17; 6:8-13). The burnt offering is for God’s food that God may enjoy it and be satisfied. This offering was to be offered daily, in the morning and in the evening.
二 素祭
B. The Meal Offering
17素祭是基督作神的子民与神同享6:14-的满足。（利二１～16，六14～。）燔祭是给神吃的，素祭是给我们吃的。然而，我们吃素祭乃是同神一起吃。基督首先该完全给神享受，然后祂该给我们享受，使我们能与神一同享受祂。利未记二章给我们看见，素祭有一部分是给神的，但大部分是给我们的。这指明基督是给我们享受的，使我们能与神一同享受祂。
17The meal offering is Christ for the satisfaction of God’sp eople enjoyed together with God (2:1-16; 23). The burnt offering is for God’s eating, and the 23 meal offering is for our eating. Our eating of the meal offering, however, is together with God. Christ should first be absolutely for God’s enjoyment, and then He should be for our enjoyment that we may enjoy Him together with God. As Leviticus 2 shows us, part of the meal offering is for God, but the main part of this offering is for us. This indicates that Christ is for our enjoyment that we may enjoy Him together with God.
三 平安祭
C. The Peace Offering
18平安祭是基督作神与神子民之间的平安，好叫他们在交通中同有享受。（利三１～17，七11～38。）燔祭是基督作神的享受，素祭是基督作我们与神一同的享受，平安祭乃是基督作神与神子民之间的平安。基督是这样的供物，成了神与神子民共同的享受。在这享受里有交通。
18The peace offering is Christ as the peace between God and God’sp eople for their co-enjoyment in fellowship (3:1-17; 7:11-38). The burnt offering is Christ for God’s enjoyment, the meal offering is Christ for our enjoyment together with God, and the peace offering is Christ as the peace between God and God’sp eople. As such an offering, Christ becomes the co-enjoyment of God and God’sp eople. In this enjoyment there is fellowship
四 赎罪祭
D. The Sin Offering
19赎罪祭是基督为著神子民的罪性。（利四１～35，六24～30。）神的心意是要我们与祂有共同的享受，祂享受，我们也享受。祂的心意是要我们与祂有平安，好与祂在平安中共同享受基督。然而我们需要记得，我们在性情里仍然有罪，在行为上仍然有罪愆。我们的罪和罪愆都是神所定罪的。所以，我们需要赎罪祭，就是基督为著我们性情里的罪。基督已经为此成就了平息。
19The sin offering is Christ for the sin of God’sp eople (4:1-35; 6:24-30). God’sin tent i on is that there be co-enjoyment, enjoyment for Him and for us. His intention is that we may have peace with Him to enjoy Christ with Him in fellowship. However, we need to remember that we still have sin in our nature and trespasses in our conduct. Both our sin and our trespasses are condemned by God. Therefore, we need the sin offering, which is Christ for the sin in our nature. Concerning this, Christ has made propitiation
五 赎愆祭
E. The Trespass Offering
20赎愆祭是基督为著神子民的罪行。（利五１～六７，七１～10。）基督为著我们的罪性，也为著我们的罪行，罪愆，成就了平息。我们有基督作赎罪祭和赎愆祭，我们与神就不再有任何难处了。我们现在可以平安，且在平安里与神同享基督。利未记一章到七章的豫表，给我们看见基督对我们是多么丰富。这些章节给我们看见关于基督的许多细点。我们需要学习在这一切细点上，细细的经历基督。
20The trespass offering is Christ for the sins of God’sp eople (5:1—6:7; 7:1-10). Christ has made propitiation for our sins, our trespasses, as well as for our sin. With Christ as the sin offering and as the trespass offering, we no longer have any problems with God. We may now be at peace and in peace enjoy Christ with God. The types in chapters one through seven of Leviticus show us how much Christ is to us. These chapters show us many fine points concerning Christ. We need to learn to be fine in experiencing Christ in all these fine points
六 燔祭是赎罪祭的必要条件
F. The Burnt Offering Being the Qualification for the Sin Offering
21燔祭是赎罪祭的必要条件。基督是燔祭，乃是绝对为著神的。基督若没有绝对为著神，祂就不彀资格作我们的赎罪祭。亚当堕落是因为他没有绝对为著神。他若绝对为著神，就不会受欺骗了。亚当受了欺骗，因为他没有绝对为著神。至终，基督来了，祂绝对为著神，且从不受欺骗。这绝对的一位是完全的，彀资格作我们的赎罪祭，对付我们性情中的罪。基督绝对为著神，使祂彀资格作赎罪祭。
21The burnt offering is the qualification for the sin offering. As the burnt offering, Christ is absolute for God. If Christ had not been absolute for God, He would not have been qualified to be our sin offering. Adam fell because he was not absolute for God. If he had been absolute for God, he would not have been deceived. Adam was deceived because he was not absolute for God. Eventually Christ came, and He was absolute for God and He was never deceived. This absolute One was perfect and was qualified to be our sin offering to deal with the sin in our nature. Christ’s absoluteness for God qualified Him to be the sin offering.
七 素祭是赎愆祭的必要条件
G. The Meal Offering Being the Qualification for the Trespass Offering
22素祭是赎愆祭的必要条件。倘若基督在祂的人性里不是完全的，反而有许多缺点、短缺和过失，祂自己就需要赎愆祭，祂就不彀资格作我们的赎愆祭。然而，基督在祂的人性里是完全、柔细且平衡的；祂毫无缺点、过错、短缺和过失。祂的完全使祂彀资格作我们的赎愆祭。
22The meal offering is the qualification for the trespass offering. If Christ had not been perfect in His humanity but had had many defects, shortcomings, and wrongdoings, He Himself would have needed a trespass offering and thus would not have been qualified to be our trespass offering. However, in His humanity Christ was perfect, fine, and balanced; He was altogether without defects, mistakes, shortcomings, and wrongdoings. His perfection qualified Him to be our trespass offering
23燔祭是为著赎罪祭，因此这两种祭是相联的。同样的，素祭是为著赎愆祭，因此这两种祭是相联的。基督若没有绝对为著神，就不能作我们的赎罪祭，对付我们性情中的罪。祂在祂的人性里若不是完全的，就不能作我们的赎愆祭，除去我们的罪愆。基督向著神是绝对的，祂在祂的人性里是完全的。所以，祂彀资格对付我们的罪，除去我们的罪愆。
23The burnt offering is for the sin offering. Thus, these two offerings are linked. Likewise, the meal offering is for the trespass offering. Thus, these two offerings are linked. If Christ had not been absolute for God, He could not have been our sin offering to deal with the sin in our nature. If He had not been perfect in His humanity, He could not have been our trespass offering to take away our trespasses. Christ was absolute toward God, and He was perfect in His humanity. Therefore, He was qualified to deal with our sin and to take away our trespasses
八 平安祭是其他四种祭的结果
H. The Peace Offering Being the Issue of All the Other Four Offerings
24平安祭是其他四种祭的结果。这就是说，平安祭是其他四种祭的总和。基督作这四种祭，总结乃是神与神子民之间的平安，这平安就是基督自己。基督作平安祭，就是我们与神同享，并神与我们同享的食物。在作我们平安祭的基督里，我们在交通中就有共同的享受。
24The peace offering is the issue of all the other four offerings. This means that the peace offering is the totality of the other four offerings. Christ’s being these four offerings consummates in peace between God and God’sp eople, and this peace is simply Christ Himself. As the peace offering, Christ is the food we enjoy with God and the food God enjoys with us. In Christ as our peace offering we have co-enjoyment in fellowship
25我们需要把这些论到基督作供物的各点，带到我们的召会生活中，并在召会的聚会中操练烹煮基督，将基督呈献给神。我们都需要学习细细的烹煮基督，细细的吃祂，细细的将祂献上。这是我们研读利未记该有的路。我们不该只对关于基督的细点有道理上的认识；我们也该学习烹煮基督，把基督呈献给神，与神一同享受基督作燔祭、素祭、平安祭、赎罪祭、以及赎愆祭。我们这样作，就会完全被构成一班渴望进入帐幕，并住在那里享受三一神之内容的人。
25We need to bring all these points concerning Christ as the offerings into our church life, and practice cooking Christ and presenting Christ to God in the church meetings. We all need to learn to cook Christ finely, to eat Him finely, and to present Him finely. This is the way we should study the book of Leviticus. We should not only have a doctrinal knowledge of the fine points concerning Christ; we should also learn to cook Christ, to present Christ to God, and to enjoy Christ with God as the burnt offering, the meal offering, the peace offering, the sin offering, and the trespass offering. By doing this we shall be fully constituted into those who desire to enter into the tabernacle and dwell there to enjoy the contents of the Triune God.
