利未记生命读经 · 第51篇

享受圣物时该有的圣别，

The Holiness in Enjoying the Holy Things

以及为还愿或甘心献的供物蒙悦纳的路

and the Acceptable Way for the Offering of a Vow and a Freewill Offering

1读经：利未记二十二章一至三十三节。利未记二十二章说到两件事：享受圣物时该有的圣别，（利二二2～16，）以及为还愿或甘心献的供物蒙悦纳的路。（利二二18～33。）

1Scripture Reading: Lev. 22:1-33 Chapter twenty-two of Leviticus covers two things: the holiness in enjoying the holy things (vv. 2-16) and the acceptable way for the offering of a vow and a freewill offering (vv. 18-33

2壹享受圣物时该有的圣别我们要享受圣物，就需要圣别。为了彀资格享受圣物，我们需要相当程度的圣别。我们需要圣别、分别归神到相当的程度。

2I. THE HOLINESS IN ENJOYING THE HOLY THINGS We need holiness for the enjoyment of the holy things. In order to be qualified to enjoy the holy things, we need a certain amount of holiness. We need holiness, sanctification, separation to God, to a certain degree

一以色列人所分别为圣归耶和华的圣物

A. The Holy Things Sanctified to Jehovah by the Sons of Israel

3『你要告诉亚伦和他子孙说，他们要与以色列人所分别为圣归我的圣物隔离，免得他们亵渎我的圣名。我是耶和华。你要对他们说，你们世世代代的后裔中，凡不洁净，却走近以色列人所分别为圣归耶和华之圣物的，那人必从我面前剪除。我是耶和华。』（利二二2～3。）这里的圣物表征神赐给事奉祂的人享受的基督。神的子民献给神的一切，乃是神赐给我们这些事奉的人作享受之基督的豫表。因此，圣物就是我们所经历并享受的基督。二凡不洁净的人，不可吃圣物，除非在水中洗身，免得担罪而死

3Speak to Aaron and to his sons, that they keep themselves apart from the holy things of the sons of Israel which they sanctify to Me, so that they may not profane My holy name: I am Jehovah. Say to them, Any man among all your offspring throughout your generations who comes near the holy things which the sons of Israel sanctify to Jehovah while he is unclean, that person shall be cut off from before Me: I am Jehovah” (vv. 2-3). The holy things here signify Christ, whom God gives to His serving ones for their enjoyment. Everything that the people offered to God is a type of Christ, whom God gives to us, the serving ones, for our enjoyment. Hence, the holy things are the Christ whom we experience and enjoy. B. An Unclean Person Being Forbidden to Eat the Holy Things, Unless He Has Bathed His Flesh in

Water, That He May Not Sin and Die

4在三至九节，我们看见凡不洁净的人，不可吃圣物除非在水中洗身，免得担罪而死。这表征我们不该一面带著不洁之物的玷污，一面又来享受基督；我们必须先彻底对付玷污，免得被定罪，遭受属灵的死亡。这就是说，我们若要享受基督，就必须留意我们的光景。我们在任何一面蒙了不洁或玷污，都必须彻底对付，而这对付主要的是藉著在圣灵里的洗涤。若不对付，我们多少会遭受属灵的死亡。三外人，在祭司家寄居的或雇工人，

4In verses 3 through 9 we see that an unclean person was forbidden to eat the holy things, unless he had bathed his flesh in water, that he might not sin and die. This signifies that we should not enjoy Christ while we are defiled with unclean things, until we deal thoroughly with the defilement, that we may not be condemned and suffer spiritual death. This means that if we would enjoy Christ, we must be careful about our situation. If we are unclean or defiled in any way, we must have a thorough dealing, mainly by bathing, washing, ourselves in the Holy Spirit. Otherwise, we shall suffer a certain amount of spiritual death. C. An Outsider, a Sojourner of a Priest, or a Hired

都不可吃圣物

Servant Being Forbidden to Eat the Holy Things

5『外人不可吃圣物；在祭司家寄居的或雇工人，都不可吃圣物。』（利二二10。）这表征未得救的人，或在对神的事奉上无分的人，无法享受基督。这样的人在祭司的职任上无分，不可吃圣物。

5No outsider shall eat of a holy thing; a sojourner of a priest or a hired servant shall not eat of a holy thing” (v. 10). This signifies that an unsaved person or one who has no share in God’s service may not enjoy Christ. Such persons have no part in the priesthood and are forbidden to eat the holy things

四祭司买来的奴仆，和生在祭司家的人，可以吃圣物

D. A Purchased Slave of a Priest and Those Who Were Born in a Priest’sHo use Being Permitted to Eat the Holy Things

6『但祭司若买奴仆，是用自己的钱买的，那人就可以吃圣物；生在他家的人也可以吃他的食物。』（利二二11。）这表征基督用宝血买来，在神的家中为神所生的人，可以享受基督。我们既由基督所买，又是神所生，生在祂家中的，当然有资格享受基督。五祭司的女儿嫁给外人，就不可吃圣物的举祭，但若成了寡妇或离了婚，没有孩子，又回到父家，就可以吃她父亲的食物『祭司的女儿若嫁给外人，就不可吃圣物的举祭。但祭司的女儿若是寡妇，或是离了婚，没有孩子，又回到父家，像她幼年时一样，就可以吃她父亲的食物；12-只是外人不可以吃。』（利二二12～13。）这表征信徒被外人吸引离开，就不能享受升天的基督，但他若和外人断绝来往，没有留下牵连，又回到召会中，就仍然可以享受基督。

6“But if a priest buys a slave, the purchase of his money, that one may eat of it; and those who are born in his house may eat of his food” (v. 11). This signifies that the ones purchased by Christ with His precious blood and born of God in His house may enjoy Christ. Since we have been purchased by Christ and since we were born of God in His house, we are surely qualified to enjoy Christ. E. The Priest’s Daughter Who Married an Outsider Was Forbidden to Eat the Heave Offering of the Holy Things, but If She Became a Widow or Was Divorced, and Had No Child and Returned to Her Father’s House, She Was Permitted to Eat Her Father’s Food “And if the priest’s daughter marries an outsider, she shall not eat of the heave offering of the holy things. But if the priest’s daughter becomes a widow or is divorced, and has no child, and she returns to her father’s house as in her youth, she may eat of her father’s food; but no outsider shall eat of it” (vv. 13). This signifies that a believer who is attracted away by an outsider may not enjoy the ascended Christ. But if he cuts off his relationship with the outsider without leaving any connection and returns to the church, he may still enjoy Christ.

7一个人是祭司的女儿，意即这个人属于祭司体系。我们这属祭司体系的人若被外人吸引，就断绝了祭司职任，也断绝了对基督的享受。然而，那吸引若停止，我们又回到了召会生活，我们对基督的享受就要得著恢复。

7For one to be a daughter of the priest means that such a one belongs to the priesthood. If we who belong to the priesthood are attracted by an outsider, we are finished with the priesthood and with the enjoyment of Christ. However, if that attraction dies and we return to the church life, then our enjoyment of Christ will be recovered

8六人若误吃了圣物，要加上五分之一，把圣物交给祭司

8F. A Man Who Ate a Holy Thing through Ignorance Adding One-fifth More to It and Giving It to the Priest

9『人若误吃了圣物，要加上五分之一，把圣物交给祭司。『（利二二14。）这里我们看见人若不知道那是圣物而吃了，他就要加上五分之一偿还，把圣物交给祭司。这表征我们轻率的享受基督，并不算是真正享受基督，还必须在神前受对付。

9“If a man eats a holy thing through ignorance, then he shall add one-fifth more to it and give the holy thing to the priest” (v. 14). Here we see that if someone ate a holy thing without knowing that it was holy, he was required to make restitution by adding one-fifth more to the holy thing and giving it to the priest. This signifies that our careless enjoyment of Christ should not be considered a real enjoyment of Christ but should be dealt with before God.

10我们可能在享受基督的事上自欺。我们认为自己在享受基督，其实那不是真正对基督的享受。这种对基督虚假的享受，需要在神面前受对付。

10It is possible for us to be self-deceived regarding the enjoyment of Christ. We may think that we are enjoying Christ, when that enjoyment is not the real enjoyment of Christ. Such a false enjoyment of Christ needs to be dealt with before God

11贰为还愿或甘心献的供物

11II. THE ACCEPTABLE WAY FOR THE OFFERING

蒙悦纳的路

of a Vow and a Freewill Offering

12我们简短的说过，为著享受基督这圣物，我们该有的圣别。现在要从十八至三十三节来看，为还愿或甘心献的供物蒙悦纳的路。

12We have briefly covered the need of holiness for the enjoyment of Christ as the holy things. Now we shall consider from verses 18 through 33 the acceptable way for the offering of a vow and a freewill offering

13许愿比甘心献的供物更强。愿一旦许了，就非常坚定，必须遵守。相反的，甘心献的供物，乃是出于我们的自由意志。我们可能献上甘心的供物，然而不贯彻到底，甚至忘记了。我们可能向神献上甘心的供物，后来又想要改变。这是一种不稳定、不肯定的奉献。然而，许愿就像向神起誓，是不能退回的，必须遵守。一位圣徒可能出于甘心将自己奉献给神，但一段时间之后，也许就忘了。然而向神所许的愿就不能取消。因此，为许愿献的供物，比甘心献的供物更强。不仅如此，有些供物为甘心祭时可蒙悦纳，若为还愿却可能不蒙悦纳。一凡献供物，无论是为还愿，或为甘心献的，或作平安祭，凡给耶和华作燔祭的，若要蒙悦纳，就必须是公

13A vow is much stronger than a freewill offering. Once made, a vow is something very stable, and it must be kept. A freewill offering, on the contrary, is a matter of our free will. We may make a freewill offering and then not follow through with it or even forget it. We may have a freewill offering toward God and later want to change it. This refers to a kind of consecration that is not stable or sure. A vow, however, is like an oath made with God that cannot be retracted. It must be kept. A saint may consecrate himself to God of his free will, but after a period of time, he may forget about it. But a vow cannot be cancelled. Hence, the offerings for a vow are stronger than those for a freewill offering. Furthermore, a certain offering may be accepted as a freewill offering but not as an offering for a vow. A. An Offering for a Vow, for a Freewill Offering, or as a Peace Offering That Was Offered to Jehovah for a Burnt Offering Needing to Be a Male without Blemish, of the Herd

的，没有残疾的牛、绵羊、或山羊

of the Sheep, or of the Goats, That It Might Be Accepted

14在二十二章十八至二十一节，我们看见凡献供物，无论是为还愿，或为甘心献的，或作平安祭，凡给耶和华作燔祭的，若要蒙悦纳，就必须是公的，没有残疾的牛、绵羊、或山羊。这表征我们献上所经历的基督给神，作神的食物，必须是没有残缺的，才能蒙悦纳。

14In 22:18-21 we see that an offering for a vow, for a freewill offering, or as a peace offering that was offered to Jehovah for a burnt offering had to be a male without blemish, of the herd, of the sheep, or of the goats, that it might be accepted. This signifies that our offering of the Christ whom we experience that is offered to God as God’s food must be without blemish, that it might be accepted.

15凡为还愿献的、甘心献的、与作平安祭的供物，都可以作燔祭。燔祭的意义就是绝对为著神。我们该绝对为著神，但我们常常没有绝对为著神。因此，我们可能盼望下定决心向神许愿，使我们的余生绝对为著神。这献给神的愿至终成了燔祭，意思就是我们的一生从此绝对为著神。甘心祭也可以成为燔祭。我们可以出于甘心，拣选绝对为著神。这样的甘心祭也可以献给神作燔祭。

15An offering for a vow, for a freewill offering, and as a peace offering could all be for a burnt offering. The significance of the burnt offering is to be absolute for God. We should be absolute for God, but often we are not absolute for Him. Thus we may wish to make up our mind to have a vow with God that we would be absolute for God for the rest of our life. This vow offered to God eventually becomes a burnt offering with the significance of being absolute for God for our entire life. A freewill offering may also become a burnt offering. Of our free will we may choose to be absolute for God. Such a freewill offering may also be offered to God as a burnt offering

16很难解释平安祭怎样可以向神献上作燔祭。我相信我们许多人在主的筵席上都有过这样的经历。我们在主的筵席上享受主作平安祭时，我们对自己说，『我已往没有绝对为著神，现在我享受祂，决定从今以后要绝对为著神。』这就是平安祭成了燔祭。

16It is difficult to explain how a peace offering may be offered to God as a burnt offering. I believe that many of us have experienced this at the Lord’stable. While we were enjoying the Lord as the peace offering at His table, we said to ourselves, “In the past I was not absolute for the Lord. Now as I am enjoying Him, I decide to be absolute for the Lord from now on.” This is the peace offering becoming a burnt offering

17有时，我们可能刚强的定意，要绝对为著神。这就是所许的愿成了燔祭。有时，我们可能自然而然的运用自由意志，选择要绝对为著神。这就是甘心祭成了燔祭。有时，我们在主的筵席前享受基督时，可能想到该绝对为著神。这就是平安祭成了燔祭。由此可见三种不同的供物－为许愿的、为甘心献的、为作平安祭的－都可能成为绝对为著神的燔祭。按照二十二章十八至二十一节，这些供物都必须是公的，没有残疾的牛、绵羊、或山羊。这里『公的』表征刚强的基督。无论我们以何种方式献燔祭给神，我们的供物都必须是我们所经历，没有残疾、刚强的基督。二凡瞎眼的、折伤的、残癈的、有创伤的、长湿疹的、长癣疥的，

17At times, we may make a strong decision to be absolute for God. This is a vow becoming a burnt offering. At other times, we may spontaneously as an exercise of our free will choose to be absolute for God. This is a freewill offering becoming a burnt offering. Sometimes while we are enjoying Christ at the Lord’stable, we may have the thought that we should be absolute for God. This is a peace offering becoming a burnt offering. From this we see that three different kinds of offerings—an offering for a vow, for a freewill offering, and as a peace offering—may become a burnt offering for us to be absolute for God. According to 22:18-21, each of these offerings needed to be a male without blemish, of the herd, of the sheep, or of the goats. A male here signifies a strong Christ. In whatever way we offer a burnt offering to God, our offering must be a strong Christ without blemish whom we have experienced. B. Anything Blind, or Broken, or Maimed, or That Had Sores, or an Eczema, or Scabs Was Not to Be

都不可作火祭献给耶和华为食物

Offered as Food to Jehovah by Fire

18『凡瞎眼的、折伤的、残癈的、有创伤的、长湿疹的、长癣疥的，都不可献给耶和华，也不可在坛上作为火祭献给耶和华。』（利二二22。）这表征我们献上所经历的基督，若有以上六种毛病，就不可献给神作祂的食物，使祂满足。我们需要享受完全、没有残缺、常显为令人喜悦的基督，然后我们就能将这一位献给神，作神的食物。这就是说，我们能以基督𫗪养神，使神满足。三有一肢体太长或太短的公牛或绵羊，可以献为甘心祭，若为还愿，就不蒙悦纳『至于肢体变形或发育不全的公牛或绵羊，你可以献为甘心祭，若为还愿，就不蒙悦纳。』（利二二。）原文的『变形或发育不全』也可译为『有一肢体太长或太短。』较长的肢体是越过限度的肢体；较短的肢体是不及正确量度的肢体。二十三节表征我们对基督的经历过多或缺少，虽然通常还可以献上给神作食物，但若要更强的献上，就不蒙悦纳。

18“Anything blind, or broken, or maimed, or that has sores, or an eczema, or scabs—such you shall not offer to Jehovah or make of them an offering by fire on the altar to Jehovah” (v. 22). This signifies that our offering of the Christ whom we experience, if it is blemished as typified by the six defects mentioned in this verse, should not be offered to God as His food for His satisfaction. Rather, we need to enjoy a Christ who is perfect, who is without defect, and who always bears a pleasant appearance. Then we shall be able to offer this One to God as God’s food. This means that we shall be able to feed God with Christ for God’s satisfaction. C. An Ox or a Sheep That Had a Member Too Long or Too Short Being Allowed to Be Offered for a Freewill Offering but Not Being Accepted for a Vow “As for an ox or a sheep that is deformed or stunted, you may offer it for a freewill offering, but for a vow it will not be accepted” (v. 23). The Hebrew for “is deformed or stunted” may also be translated “has 23 a member that is too long or too short.” A longer member is a member that exceeds the limit; a shorter member is one that is under the proper measure. Verse 23 signifies that we may, in a general way, offer to God as food the Christ whom we experience too much or too little, but if we offer in a stronger way, our offering will not be accepted.

19二十三节指明，我们甚至在经历基督的事上，也可能不平衡。有时，我们对基督的经历可能超过限度；有时，又可能不及正确的量度。譬如，有些圣徒强调享受基督，但他们却不结果子。约翰十五章说到对基督的享受：『你们要住在我里面，我也住在你们里面。』（约十五4。）我们若住在主里面，就从祂吸收丰富的生命汁浆。祂要住在我们里面，以祂一切的丰富来供应、扶持我们。这结果，乃是结果子。住在基督里面的结果，乃是结果子。有些圣徒强调住在基督里来享受基督，但他们不结果子。这种的享受基督，由利未记二十二章二十三节过长的肢体所豫表。他们缺少果子，证明他们对基督的经历不平衡。主耶稣说，『凡在我里面不结果子的枝子，祂就剪去…人若不住在我里面，就像枝子丢在外面枯干了，人收集起来扔在火里烧了。』（约十五2上，6。）这不是灭亡－乃是失去对基督的享受。枝子若从葡萄树上剪除，就失去对葡萄树的享受。我们在某些圣徒身上看见这样的事；他们声称除了享受基督，不在意别的，但他们经过多年却未结果子。这种享受就是过分的伸展，就像过长的肢体一样。他们对基督的享受没有结出果子来。

19Verse 23 indicates that we may not be balanced even in the experience of Christ. Sometimes our experience of Christ may surpass the limit. At other times it may be under the proper measure. For example, some saints stress the enjoyment of Christ, but they do not bear any fruit. The enjoyment of Christ is covered in John 15. “Abide in Me and I in you” (v. 4a). If we abide in the Lord, we shall absorb the rich life- juice from Him. Then He will abide in us to supply us and support us with all His riches. The issue of this is the bearing of fruit. Abiding in Christ issues in fruit-bearing. However, some saints emphasize the enjoyment of Christ by abiding in Him, but they do not bear fruit. This kind of experience of Christ is typified in Leviticus 22:23 by a member that is too long. Their lack of fruit is the evidence that their experience of Christ is not balanced. The Lord Jesus said, “Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes it away.…If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is dried up; and they gather them and cast them into the fire, and they are burned” (John 15:2a, 6). This is not to perish—it is to lose the enjoyment of Christ. If a branch is cut off from the vine, it loses its enjoyment of the vine. We have seen such a thing with certain saints who claimed that they did not care for anything other than the enjoyment of Christ but who did not bear any fruit, even after a period of years. Their kind of enjoyment was an overstretching; it was like a member that is too long. No fruit issued from their experience of Christ

20还有的圣徒对基督缺少享受，结果，他们也没有结果子。关于经历基督，这些圣徒搆不上标准。对基督的经历太多或太少，都叫人不能结果子。在约翰十五章，我们看见经历基督正确、平衡的路。我们需要住在基督里，使我们可以享受祂；然而，我们还需要结果子。我们需要从结果子的事，核对我们对基督的享受是否真实。结果子乃是证明我们对基督的享受是在限度之内。

20Other saints are short in the enjoyment of Christ, and, as a result, they likewise do not bear fruit. Regarding the experience of Christ, these saints are not up to the standard. Those who are too much and those who are too little in their experience of Christ are alike in that they fail to bear fruit. In John 15 we see the proper, balanced way to experience Christ. We need to abide in Christ that we may enjoy Him, yet we still need to bear fruit. We need to check whether or not our enjoyment of Christ is real by the matter of fruit-bearing. Bearing fruit is the evidence that our enjoyment of Christ is within the limit

21在约翰十五章十六节，主耶稣说，『不是你们拣选了我，乃是我拣选了你们，并且派你们前去结果子，叫你们的果子常存。』主不是说，我们该单单住在祂里面而不作任何事，那样就要超过限度，使对基督的享受过分伸展。我们需要访人传福音，使我们可以结果子。然后，对于住与结果子，我们就会得到平衡。住是为了结果子，结果子乃是真正享受基督的证明。我们若真正享受基督，就会前去结果子。四凡供物的肾子损伤的、或压碎的、

21In John 15:16 the Lord Jesus says, “You did not choose Me, but I chose you, and I appointed you that you should go forth and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain.” The Lord does not say that we should simply abide in Him without doing anything, for that would be to exceed the limit and thus to have an overstretching enjoyment of Christ. We need to visit others that we might bear fruit. Then regarding abiding and fruit-bearing we shall be balanced. Abiding is for fruit-bearing, and fruit-bearing is an evidence of the real enjoyment of Christ. If we are really enjoying Christ, we shall go forth to bear fruit. D. Anything with Its Testicles Bruised, Crushed, Broken

破裂的、割掉的，不可以献给耶和华

or Cut Not Being Allowed to Be Offered to Jehovah

22『凡肾子损伤的、或压碎的、破裂的、割掉的，你们不可以献给耶和华；在你们的地上，不可这样行。』（利二二24。）这表征我们献上所经历的基督给神作食物，不可有任何属灵机能上的损害。我们需要享受的那位基督，乃是繁殖器官未受破坏的。这就是说，我们所经历的基督该有完全且完整的繁殖器官，使我们能更多、更多的产生基督。按约翰十五章来看，这就是结果子。

22And anything with its testicles bruised, or crushed, or broken, or cut, you shall not offer to Jehovah; you shall not do this in your land” (Lev. 22:24). This signifies that we should not offer to God as food the Christ whom we have experienced with the spiritual function damaged in any way. We need to enjoy Christ as One whose reproductive organ has not been damaged. This means that the Christ whom we experience should have a reproducing organ that is perfect and whole that we may be able to produce more and more of Christ. According to John 15, this is to bear fruit

23五凡从外人的手得来，献给神作食物，却是损坏的、有残疾的，不

23E. Anything Obtained from the Hand of Foreigners That Was Offered to God as His Food, Having Ruin

能蒙神悦纳

and a Blemish in It, Not Being Accepted by Him

24『这些东西，你们从外人的手得来的，一样也不可献给你们的神作食物；因为这些都是损坏的，有残疾的，不能为你们蒙悦纳。』（利二二25。）这表征我们献上所经历的基督给神作食物，若是藉著不信的人，就不蒙神悦纳。将基督献上给神，不该有任何外人的作法。我们不该按不信者的作法享受基督并献基督给神。若这样作，我们的供物就不蒙神悦纳。六才生的公牛、或绵羊、或山羊，要跟著牠的母七天，从第八天起可以蒙悦纳，作火祭献给耶和华为食物

24Neither shall you offer as the food of your God any of these things obtained from the hand of a foreigner; for they are ruined, a blemish is in them; they shall not be accepted for you” (v. 25). This signifies that our offering of the Christ whom we experience that is offered to God as food by the way of the unbelievers will not be accepted by God. Concerning offering Christ to God, nothing should be done in a foreign way. We should not enjoy Christ and offer Christ to God in a way that is according to the unbelievers. If we do this, our offering will not be accepted by God. F. A Newborn Bull, Sheep, or Goat Needing to Remain with Its Mother until the Eighth Day, and Thereafter Being Accepted for an Offering by Fire to Jehovah as His Food

25『才生的公牛、或绵羊、或山羊，要跟著牠的母七天，从第八天起可以蒙悦纳，献给耶和华为火祭。』（利二二27。）这表征我们对基督的经历必须长到复活的程度，才可以蒙悦纳，献给神作食物。我们对基督的经历若未到复活的程度，就还有天然的东西留在我们里面。这样的经历多少是幼稚的。所以，我们需要在对基督的经历上长大。

25When a bull, or a sheep, or a goat is born, it shall remain seven days with its mother, and from the eighth day on it shall be accepted for an offering by fire to Jehovah” (v. 27). This signifies that our experience of Christ must grow to the level of resurrection before it will be accepted as an offering to God for His food. If our experience of Christ is not up to the level of resurrection, something natural remains with us. Such an experience is somewhat childish. Therefore, we need to grow in the experience of Christ

26我喜欢听年轻人见证他们对基督的经历。然而，因著他们对基督的经历未到第八天，他们还需要在经历基督上长大。即使我们对基督的经历已经在第七天，还是不彀。我们对基督的经历需要来到第八天；这就是说，我们对基督的经历需要到复活的程度。对基督的经历若要达到复活的程度，我们就必须学习如何拒绝天然的生命，弃绝里面一切天然的东西。譬如，初信的人开始爱主，但他们对主的爱是天然的。我们该爱主，但不该用天然的爱来爱祂。我们该把天然的生命钉死来爱主。一面，我们该爱主；另一面，我们该否认天然的生命到极点。这会帮助我们在爱主的事上，长到复活的程度。我们这样来爱主时，我们对祂的爱，就没有一部分是留在天然里的。我们为主作任何事，都需要否认天然的爱、天然的能力、和天然的力量。这样，我们就会过一种为著基督，且达到祂复活之程度的生活。七无论是牛或羊，不可在同一天

26I like to hear the young ones testifying of their experience of Christ. However, because their experience of Christ is not yet at the eighth day, they need to grow in experiencing Christ. Even if our experience of Christ is on the seventh day, we still are not up to the level. Our experience of Christ needs to come to the eighth day; that is, it needs to be on the level of resurrection. If our experience of Christ is to reach the level of resurrection, we must learn how to reject our natural life and to abandon everything in our being that is natural. For example, the new believers have begun to love the Lord, but their love for Him is natural. We should love the Lord, but we should not love Him with our natural love. We should love the Lord by having our natural life crucified. On the one hand, we should love the Lord; on the other hand, we should deny our natural life to the uttermost. This will help us to grow up to the level of resurrection in loving the Lord. When we love the Lord in this way, no part of our love for Him remains natural. We all need to deny our natural love, natural ability, and natural strength in doing anything for the Lord. Then we shall live a life that is for Christ up to the standard of His resurrection. G. An Ox or a Sheep Not Being Allowed to Be

宰牠和牠的子

Slaughtered with Its Young on the Same Day

27『无论是牛或是羊，你们不可在同一天宰牠和牠的子。』（利二二28。）这表征我们献给神作神食物的基督，必须与我们在神圣生命上的度量相称。我们将基督献上给神，必须与我们所经历神圣生命的度量相称。

27Whether it is an ox or a sheep, you shall not slaughter both it and its young on the same day” (v. 28). This signifies that what we offer of Christ to God as God’s food must match our measure in the divine life. Our offering of Christ to God must match the measure of the divine life we have experienced

28我们若在神圣的生命里长大，就能献上属基督的东西给神作食物。然而，我们若在神圣的生命上太不成熟，就不能献上任何东西给神作食物，蒙神悦纳。八献感谢祭给耶和华，要献得可蒙悦纳，就要在当天吃，一点也不

28If we have the growth in the divine life, we shall be able to offer something of Christ to God as His food. However, if we are too immature in the divine life, we shall not be able to offer anything to God that would be acceptable to Him as food. H. A Sacrifice of Thanksgiving to Jehovah Needing to Be Sacrificed So That It May Be Accepted, by Eating It on the

可留到早晨

Day It Is Sacrificed, Not Leaving Any of It until Morning

29『你们献感谢祭牲给耶和华，要献得可蒙悦纳。要当天吃，一点也不可留到早晨。我是耶和华。』（利二二29～30。）这表征我们献上基督给神为感谢，必须是新鲜、更新的，不停留在陈旧里。我们所献的若是陈旧的，虽然仍是供物，却不蒙神悦纳。我们献给神的一切都该是新鲜的、更新的。我们对基督的经历需要调整、平衡、新鲜并更新。

29And when you sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to Jehovah, you shall sacrifice it so that you may be accepted. It shall be eaten on that day; you shall not leave any of it until morning: I am Jehovah” (vv. 29-30). This signifies that our offering of Christ as a thanksgiving to God must be fresh and new, with nothing left to become stale. If our offering is stale, it is still an offering, but it is not acceptable to God. Everything we offer to God should be fresh and new. Our experience of Christ needs to be adjusted, balanced, fresh, and new

30我们需要对基督有新鲜且更新的经历。这会在我们里面产生感谢。这样，我们献上所经历的基督给神，就不会是陈旧的，乃是新鲜且更新的。

30We need to have fresh and new experiences of Christ. This will create thanksgiving within us. Then what we offer to God of the Christ whom we have experienced will not be stale but will be fresh and new
