安息年与禧年（二）

The Sabbath Year and the Jubilee (2)
1读经：利未记25:23-34。
1Scripture Reading: Lev. 25:23-34
2关于禧年，有些极重要描绘的辞，诸如喊叫、释放或自由、产业、家。禧年是喊叫的时候，也是我们脱离奴役与被掳，得到释放和自由的时候。我们从前失去了神圣的产业，但在新约的禧年里，这产业已归还给我们享受。在禧年里，我们也归回我们的家。我们若将这些事连在一起，就会对禧年有完整的领会。我们曾在奴役与被掳中，但现在已经得了释放，归回对产业的享受，也归回我们的家，使我们能在神的恩典中有真实的交通。禧年也是安息年。这就是利未记二十五章先启示安息年的原因。第八个安息年就是禧年，是满了安息、释放与享受的安息年。在这禧年里，一切神圣的产业都要按照神的经纶，再度得到平衡。地的出产对人，甚至对走兽，都成了共有的，可以自由取用。八以色列人所得为业的地是属于神的，不可永远卖断
2Certain crucial words describe the jubilee. Some of these words are shouting, release or freedom, possession, and family. The jubilee is a time of shouting. It is also a time when we are released, freed, from slavery and captivity. We had lost our divine possession, but in the New Testament jubilee our possession has been returned to us for our enjoyment. In the jubilee we are also restored to our family. If we put all these matters together, we shall have a complete understanding of what jubilee is. We were in slavery and in captivity, but we have been released and restored to our possession for our enjoyment and to our family that we may have real fellowship in God’s grace. The year of jubilee was also a sabbath year. This is the reason the first matter revealed in Leviticus 25 is the sabbath year. The eighth sabbath year was the jubilee, a sabbath year full of rest, release, and enjoyment. In this year of jubilee all the divine possessions were balanced again according to God’secon o my. The produce of the land became free and common not only to man but also to the beasts. H. The Land Possessed by the Children of Israel Belonged to God and Was Not to Be Sold into
Permanent Ownership
3『地不可永远卖断，因为地是我的；你们在我面前是客旅，是寄居的。』（利二五23。）这表征我们神圣的产业是属于神的，即使我们失败或堕落，也不会永远失去。这是神恩典的保障。在新约里，有许多教训论到国度的奖赏与惩罚。我们也许会失败，甚至在千年国里受管教，但我们神圣产业属灵的所有权却不会永远失去。千年国以后，受管教的信徒要得回神圣产业的所有权，要在新天新地里享受新耶路撒冷的福分。这是出于神的恩典，我们要得回神圣的产业，直到永远。九关于赎回卖了的地
3“The land shall not be sold into permanent ownership, for the land is Mine; for you are aliens and sojourners with Me” (v. 2 3). This signifies that our divine possession belongs to God, and we cannot lose it forever, even though we might become defeated or fallen. It is safeguarded by God’s grace. In the New Testament there is much teaching concerning the kingdom reward and the kingdom punishment. We may be defeated and even disciplined during the millennium, but our spiritual ownership of the divine possession cannot be lost permanently. After the millennium, those believers who are disciplined will be restored to the ownership of their divine possession, especially in the new heaven and the new earth, to enjoy the blessing of the New Jerusalem. It is of the grace of God that we shall be restored to our divine possession for eternity. I. Concerning the Redemption of the Land That
Had Been Sold
4利未记二十五章二十四至二十八说到卖了之地的赎回。这段记载很有意义，但有点复杂，因此需要特别留意。1重新得回我们对神圣产业的享受
4Leviticus 25:24-28 speaks of the restoration of the land that had been sold. This record is very meaningful but rather complicated and thus requires careful attention. 1. Regaining Our Enjoyment of the Divine Possession
5我们纵然软弱、退后、失去了对神圣产业的享受，但我们还可以重新得回。我们可能暂时失去这享受，但至终必归还我们。
5Although we might become weak and backslided and thus lose our enjoyment of the divine possession, we can still regain it. We may lose this enjoyment for a while, but eventually it will be restored to us
2 以色列人重新得回所失去的
2. The Children of Israel Regaining What They Have Lost
6以色列人虽然历代以来失去了从神所得的一切，但在主回来时，要重新得回。主回来时，以色列人要重新得回他们从神所得之分的所有权。3一个以色列人若变穷了，卖了一些产业，他最近的亲属就要来作赎
6Although the children of Israel have lost all that they have received from God through the generations, at the Lord’s coming back to them they will regain it. At the Lord’s coming back the Israelites will regain ownership of their God-allotted portion. 3. When an Israelite Became Poor and Sold Some of His Possession, His Nearest Relative Was to Come
主，将他所卖的赎回
as His Redeemer and Redeem What He Had Sold
7『在你们得为业的全地，要准人将地赎回。你的弟兄若变穷了，卖了一些他的产业，他最近的亲属就要来作赎主，将弟兄所卖的赎回。』（利二五24～25。）这表征我们变穷了，卖了我们的产业，主耶稣是我们最近的亲属，成了我们的救赎主，将我们所卖的，替我们赎回。在亚当里，我们卖了一切。但主耶稣是我们的亲属，作了我们的救赎主，为我们赎回了一切。路得记说明了这点。在路得记中，我们看见路得由她的亲属波阿斯所赎回。因此，路得记乃是禧年完整的故事。一个以色列人若没有人为他赎回，但他自己富足起来，就可以自己赎回『若没有人为他赎回，但他自己富足起来，有余力赎回，就要计算卖地的年数，把买主多付的价款退还他，自己便归回自己的产业。』（利二五26～27。）这表征以色列人不承认主耶稣是他们最近的亲属，把自己摆在负责赎回自己的地位上，等待富足时自己赎回。然而，直到今日他们仍无法赎回，实际上他们永远不能自己赎回。到主耶稣回来时，以色列人要承认主是他们的亲属，那时他们就要被主赎回。人若没有足彀的钱财赎回，就要等到禧年，地就要让出归他『倘若他没有足彀的钱财得回产业，他所卖的就要留在买主手里，直到禧年；到了禧年，产业就要让出，他便归回自己的产业。』（利二五28。）这表征我们不能赎回所失去的，直到新约的禧年，那时我们一切失去的就归回我们，作我们的产业。在这些经节里，我们看见以色列人有三个途径可以得回所失去的产业。首先，可以由他最近的亲属赎回。这是一件恩典的事。第二，他若富足起来，可以自己赎回。第三，倘若没有亲属替他赎回，他自己也无能赎回，就要等到禧年，那时所卖的产业就自然要归还他。这也是一件恩典的事。因此，禧年是神恩典非常好的豫表。十关于已卖房屋的赎回
7“In all the land you possess, you shall grant a redemption for the land. When your brother becomes poor and sells some of his possession, then his nearest relative shall come as his redeemer and redeem what his brother has sold” (vv. 24-25). This signifies that we have become poor and have sold our possession, and the Lord Jesus, our nearest relative, has come as our Redeemer to redeem for us what we have sold. In Adam we sold everything. But the Lord Jesus is our relative as our Redeemer, and He has redeemed everything for us. This is illustrated in the book of Ruth, where we see that Ruth was redeemed by her relative Boat. In the book of Ruth, therefore, we have a full story of jubilee. 4. If an Israelite Had No One to Redeem His4 Possession for Him but Had Acquired the Means for Its Redemption, He Could Redeem It by Himself “If a man has no one to redeem it, but has acquired the means and has sufficient for its redemption, then let him compute the years since he sold it, and refund the overpayment to the man to whom he sold it, and return to his possession” (vv. 26-27). This signifies that the children of Israel, not recognizing the Lord Jesus as their nearest relative, have put themselves in a position to bear the responsibility for their redemption until they become able to redeem themselves. However, to this day they are still unable to do it, and practically they will never be able to do it. When the Lord Jesus comes back, they will recognize Him as their relative, and then they will be redeemed by Him. 5. If a Man Did Not Have Sufficient Means to5 Redeem His Possession, It Remained until the Year of Jubilee, in Which It Was Released to Him “But if he does not have sufficient means to restore it to him, then that which he sold shall remain in the hands of him who bought it until the year of jubilee; and in the jubilee it shall be released, and he shall return to his possession” (v. 28). This signifies that we were unable to redeem what we had lost until the New Testament jubilee, in which all that we had lost is released to us to be our possession. In these verses we see that there were three ways for an Israelite to recover his lost possession. First, it could be redeemed by his nearest relative. This is a matter of grace. Second, if he had the means, he could redeem it himself. Third, if he did not have a relative to redeem it for him and if he could not redeem it himself, he could wait for the year of jubilee, when the sold possession would spontaneously be restored to him. This also is a matter of grace. The jubilee is thus a very good type of God’s grace. J. Concerning the Redemption of the House That
Had Been Sold
8利未记二十五章二十九至三十四节说到已卖房屋的赎回。1以色列人若把城内的房屋卖了，一年之内有赎回权；一年之后，这权利就要结束，即使在禧年，房子也不得让出还他
8Leviticus 25:29-34 speaks of the redemption of the house that had been sold. 1. If an Israelite Sold a House in a Walled City, the Right Would Be Given to Him to Redeem It within One Year, but after One Year the Right Would Be Ended and the House Would Not Be
Released to Him, Even in the Jubilee
9『人若卖城内的住处，卖了以后，一年之内有赎回权；他的赎回权有一整年之久。若在一整年之内不赎回，这房屋的永久所有权，就要世世代代留归买主，在禧年也不得让出。』（利二五29～30。）这表征信徒若失去对召会生活的享受，只能在神恩典的短暂期限内得著恢复。对召会生活所失去的享受若没有在召会时代得著恢复，在千年国时仍要失去。这是按照『没有的，连他所有的，也要从他夺去』的原则。（太二五29。）因此，失去对召会生活的享受，比失去对基督作我们神圣产业的享受更为严重。
9“If a man sells a dwelling in a walled city, he shall have the right of redemption within the year after its sale; his right of redemption shall last a full year. If it is not redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house that is in the walled city shall remain in permanent ownership to him who bought it throughout his generations; it shall not be released in the jubilee” (vv. 29-30). This signifies that if a believer has lost the enjoyment of the church life, it can be restored only within a short limit of God’s grace. If the lost enjoyment of the church life is not restored in the church age, it will still be lost in the millennium. This is according to the principle of taking away from him who has not (Matt. 25:29). Hence, the loss of the enjoyment of the church life is more serious than the loss of the enjoyment of Christ as our divine possession.
10论到城内房屋的赎回，这里有限制的律例。满了一年以后，房子就不能赎回，甚至在禧年也不能。我们也许认为禧年可以使一切归回，但事实并非如此，这里还有时间的限制。城内的房屋是召会生活的豫表。我们可以卖别的东西，但绝不该卖召会生活。我们若卖了召会生活，只能在限定的时间内恢复，不然即使禧年也对我们无能为力。如二十九节的一年所指明的，我们对召会生活的享受，只能在神恩典短暂的期限内得著恢复。一整年豫表召会时代。我们不要认为召会时代很长，事实上，召会时代很短。新约警告我们，召会时代很短，。主耶稣自己说过：『我必快来。』（启三11。）只有懒惰、闲懒的仆人才说，『我的主人必来得迟。』太二四48下。）事实上，主正加速祂的回来，召会时代很快就会结束。召会时代不会加长、延长。没有人能说主不会明天回来，把召会生活结束。召会时代只有一段短时间，只是神恩典短暂的时期。今天我们在召会生活中，但主回来时要结束这召会生活。
10Concerning the redemption of a house in a walled city, there is a statute of limitations. After one full year, the house could not be redeemed, even in the jubilee. However, we may think that the jubilee is able to accomplish the restoration of everything, but this is not the case, for there is a time limit. A house in a walled city is a type of the church life. We may sell anything else, but we should not sell the church life. If we do sell the church, we have only a limited time to recover it, and not even the jubilee can help us in this matter. The enjoyment of the church life can be restored only within a short time of God’s grace, as indicated by the one year. The one full year typifies the church age. We should not think that the church age is long. Actually, the church age is short. The New Testament warns us that the church age is short. The Lord Jesus Himself has said, “I come quickly” (Rev. 3:11). Only the lazy, idle servant says, “My master is delaying his coming” (Matt. 24:48b). Rather, the Lord is hastening His coming, and it will not be long before the church age is ended. The church age will not be lengthened, prolonged. No one can tell whether the church life will be ended tomorrow by the Lord’s coming back. The church age is only for a little time, for a short time of God’s grace. Today we are in the church life, but it will be ended by the Lord’s coming back
11你若失去召会生活而不快快赎回，就在千年国里也要失去召会生活。这就是说，对召会生活的享受若是失去，在千年国里也就不会得著恢复。我们已经指出，这是按照『没有的，连他所有的，也要从他夺去』的原则。你若在今世没有召会生活，在来世也要把召会生活从你夺去。在马太二十五章，失去要来国度的奖赏，就是失去对召会生活的享受。失去对召会生活的享受，比失去对基督的享受还要严重。因为要恢复对基督的享受比较容易。今天我们若失去对基督的享受，可以很快且容易的恢复。主是满有恩典的，祂可以随时让我们得回，作我们的享受。然而，要恢复失去的召会生活所需要的时间就长得多，因为有困难阻挠我们回到召会生活。我们该受此警告，不要把召会生活卖了。我们一旦卖了召会生活，就该竭力尽快恢复，因为召会时代随时都可能结束。我们若不在今世恢复所失去的召会生活，就要失去对基督身体的享受，直到千年国里受过管教之后，才在新耶路撒冷里得回。
11If you lose the church life and do not redeem it in a quick way, you will also lose the church life in the millennium. This means that the lost enjoyment of the church life will not be restored to you during the millennium. As we have pointed out, this is according to the principle of taking away from him who has not. If you do not have the church life in this age, then the church life will be taken away from you in the coming age. In Matthew 25 to lose the reward of the coming kingdom is to lose the enjoyment of the church life. Losing the enjoyment of the church life is more serious than losing the enjoyment of Christ. The reason is that it is easy for the enjoyment of Christ to be restored. If we lose the enjoyment of Christ today, we can recover it quickly and easily. The Lord is gracious, and at any time He will restore Himself to us for our enjoyment. However, it takes a much longer time to recover the lost church life, for there is a hardship that frustrates us from coming back to the church life. We should be warned by this not to sell the church life. But if we do sell it, we should endeavor to have our lost church life restored to us as soon as possible, for the church age may be cut short at any time. If we do not recover our lost church life in this age, we shall be deprived of the enjoyment of the Body life of Christ until we have been disciplined during the millennium. Then in the New Jerusalem we shall be restored to the Body life of Christ.
12虽然新约里有这关于丧失召会生活的教训，基督教教师看见的却不多、对召会生活的丧失和恢复有这样的看见，会帮助我们认识今天何等需要过正当的召会生活。我们一旦失去召会生活，就有危机也会在要来的千年国里失去。所以我们需要认识，失去召会生活比失去对基督的享受还要严重。房屋在四围没有城墙的村庄里，要看如乡下的田地一样，可以赎回，在禧年要让出
12Although there is in the New Testament such a teaching concerning the loss of the church life, not many Christian teachers have seen it. Having this view of the loss and recovery of the church life will help us to realize our need to live a proper church life today. Once we lose the church life, there is the danger that we shall lose it also during the coming millennium. Therefore, we need to consider losing the church life more serious than losing the enjoyment of Christ. 2. The Houses of the Villages That Had No2 Walls around Them Were Considered as the Fields of the Country and Could Be Redeemed
and Were to Be Released in the Jubilee
13『但房屋在四围没有城墙的村庄里，要看如乡下的田地一样，可以赎回，在禧年要让出。』（利二五。）这表征在一个只有一些信徒，还不能视为召会的地方，对基督所失去的享受就能以恢复。信徒若是在这个豫表的光景里，因著那地方没有召会生活，就不会失去对召会生活的享受。他们没有过召会生活，因为他们仅仅是一小群信徒，还不能视为召会。这些信徒对基督的享受若失去了，还可以恢复。3在利未人得为产业的城内房屋，利未人有永久的赎回权
13“But the houses of the villages that have no walls around them shall be considered as the fields of the country; they may be redeemed, and they shall be released in the jubilee” (v. 31). This signifies that in a place in which 31 there are some believers who cannot be considered a church, the lost enjoyment of Christ can be restored. Those in a situation typified by the houses of the villages without walls cannot lose the church life because there is no church life in their place. They are not living the church life, for they are simply a small group of believers who cannot be considered a church. To these believers the lost enjoyment of Christ can be restored. 3. A Permanent Right of Redemption Was Given to the Levites for the Houses in the
Cities of Their Possession
14『至于利未人的城，那些在他们得为产业的城内房屋，利未人有永久的赎回权。若是一个利未人不将房屋赎回，那在他得为产业的城内所卖的房屋，到了禧年就要让出；因为利未人在城内的房屋，是他们在以色列人中的产业。』（利二五32～33。）这表征在召会中对神有充分事奉的信徒，若失去了对召会生活的享受，这享受能没有时间限制的给他们恢复。
14As for the cities of the Levites, the Levites shall have a permanent right of redemption for the houses in the cities of their possession. And if anyone of the Levites does not redeem it, then the house that was sold in the city of his possession shall be released in the jubilee; for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the sons of Israel” (vv. 32-33). This signifies that if any loss of the enjoyment of the church life occurs to the believers who are adequately engaged in the service of God in a church, it can be restored to them without any limitation of time
15倘若我们在召会生活中对神有充分的事奉，即使我们失去召会生活，也很容易得著恢复。由此可见，我们最好在召会生活中有更多的事奉。我们在召会生活中越有事奉，对召会生活的享受就越安全。我们不容易失去召会生活，即使失去了，也能容易且很快的得著恢复。利未人在城外的牧场田地，是他们永远的产业，不可以卖
15If we are those who serve God adequately in the church life and we lose the church life, it will be easy for it to be restored to us. From this we see that it is very good for us to serve in the church life more and more. The more we serve in the church life, the more secure our enjoyment of the church life will be. It will not be easy for us to lose the church life, but if we do lose it, it can be restored easily and quickly. 4. The Fields of the Pasture Lands of the4 Levites Were Their Permanent Possession
and Were Not to Be Sold
16『但不可卖城外的牧场田地，因为那是他们永远的产业。』（利二五。）这表征在召会中对神有充分事奉的信徒，不会永远失去对基督的享受。这些经文中与利未人有关的两项，确实鼓励我们在召会生活中事奉。我们对神的事奉越多越好。我们若投入这事奉，就不容易失去对基督的享受。我们若失去对召会的享受，也很容易得著恢复。因此，为了对基督并对召会的享受，我们需要更多的将自己投入召会的事奉。
16“But the fields of the pasture lands of their cities shall not be sold, for that is their permanent possession” (v. 3 4). This signifies that the believers who are 34 adequately engaged in the service of God in a church will not lose the enjoyment of Christ permanently. The two items in these verses related to the Levites surely encourage us to serve in the church life. The more we are engaged in God’s service, the better. If we are engaged in this service, it will not be easy for us to lose the enjoyment of Christ. If we lose the enjoyment of the church, it will be easy to have it restored to us. Thus, for both the enjoyment of Christ and the enjoyment of the church life, we need to engage ourselves more and more in the church service.
17然而，我们要晓得，甚至在完全是恩典的禧年里，仍有限制的律例，论到召会生活，就如城内的房屋所豫表的。我们若失去这样的召会生活，就需要在限制的律例所定规的期限内赎回。我们年轻的时候，主给我们看见有关千年国里，国度奖赏与时代管教的启示，我们就开始教导并传讲。许多基督教传道人、教师与牧师引用以弗所二章八节与我们争论，那里说，『你们得救是靠著恩典，藉著信。』他们声称，我们所教导的不是恩典。不错，以弗所二章八节说到我们是靠著恩典得救。但我们也需要留意以弗所五章五节，保罗在那里说，『凡是淫乱的，或是污秽的，或是贪婪的，（就是拜偶像的，）在基督和神的国里，都得不到基业。』那些生活不洁的，在基督和神的国里得不到基业。这就是说，在来世的国度时代里，有一些真正的、得救的信徒将得不到基业。由于他们不洁的生活，他们在今世失去了召会生活，在来世也要失去国度的基业。
17Nevertheless, we need to realize that even in the jubilee, which is altogether a matter of grace, there is still a statute of limitations regarding the matter of the church life as typified by the house in a walled city. If we lose such a church life, we need to redeem it within the time limit prescribed by the statute of limitations. When we were young, the Lord showed us the revelation concerning the matter of the kingdom reward and dispensational discipline during the millennium, and we began to teach and preach this. A number of Christian preachers, teachers, and pastors argued with us, quoting Ephesians 2:8, which says, “By grace you have been saved through faith.” Then they went on to claim that what we were teaching was not a matter of grace. Yes, Ephesians 2:8 does say that we are saved by grace. But we also need to pay attention to Ephesians 5:5, where Paul says, “Every fornicator or unclean person or person of unbridled greedy lust, who is an idolater, has no inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.” Those who live an unclean life will not have any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. This means that in the coming age of the kingdom, certain genuine, saved believers will have no inheritance. Due to their unclean life, they have lost the church life in this age and the inheritance of the kingdom in the coming age.
18我没有见过，人得罪神失去召会生活之后，又回到召会生活的。在每个事例中，圣徒行了一些事因而失去召会生活，结果终其一生都没有回到召会生活。他们至死都没有恢复所失去的召会生活。我说这些话不是恐吓你们，乃是论到新约禧年的一个警告。实际上，甚至这种说话也是吹禧年的号声，告诉主的子民，禧年虽然是禧年，却仍有对城内房屋的限制。
18I do not know of one person who lost the church life because of something that was an offense to God who later came back to the church life. In each case, a saint did something that caused him to lose the church life, but that one did not return to the church life during the remainder of his life. They all died without having the lost church life recovered to them. I do not speak these words as a threat but as a warning concerning the New Testament jubilee. Actually, even this kind of speaking is a sounding of the jubilee, telling the Lord’sp eople that the jubilee is a jubilee, but there is nonetheless a limitation concerning the house in a walled city
19我们若失去房屋（召会生活），只能在特定的期限内赎回。我们若没有在指定的时间内赎回所去的召会生活，就会在来世失去召会生活，直等到在来世受管教、训练、改正、惩罚，为著永世得著洁净、豫备和成全，然后才得回召会生活。我们不会永远失去召会生活，乃会暂时、时代的失去召会生活一千年。这种领会与整本圣经是一致的；我们在利未记二十五章的豫表，以及新约清楚的话中都能看见。对失去召会生活的这个警告，至终要成为禧年的一部分。对于禧年，我们不该放松，大意的喊叫。相反的，我们需要谨慎并受警戒，恢复所失去的召会生活是有时限的。我们若失去召会生活，该设法立即恢复，因我们不知道召会时代到底还有多久。对神来说，也许千年如一日，但对我们来说，无论是管教或奖赏，都是一千年。
19If we lose the house, that is, the church life, we can redeem it, but only within a certain time limitation. If we do not redeem our lost church life during the time allotted, we shall also lose the church life in the coming age, and the church life will not be restored to us until after the coming age, when we shall be disciplined, trained, corrected, and punished in order to be cleansed, prepared, and perfected for the eternal age. We cannot lose the church life eternally, but we can lose it temporarily and dispensationally for a thousand years. This understanding is consistent with the Bible as a whole, for we see it both in the type in Leviticus 25 and in the clear words of the New Testament. The warning about losing the church life eventually turns out to be a part of the jubilee. Regarding the jubilee, we should not be loose, shouting in a careless way. Rather, we need to be careful and be warned that concerning the recovery of the lost church life there is a time limitation. If we lose the church life, we should try to recover it right away, for we do not know how long the church age will last. To God one day may be as a thousand years, but to us a thousand years is a thousand years either for discipline or for reward.
20来世千年国里的时代赏罚这严肃的事，乃是福音的一部分，特别在马太福音有这样的教导。马太福音乃是国度的福音。这福音以赏罚来警告我们。主耶稣在马太五章二十节说，『你们的义，若不超过经学家和法利赛人的义，绝不能进诸天的国。』这关于国度的教训，与约翰福音的不同。约翰福音不是国度的福音，乃是生命的福音。按照约翰福音，我们进入神的国，是单单藉著重生。（约三3，5。）这是生命的国，我们只要接受神圣的生命，就在生命的国里。然而，马太福音里所说的，不是生命的国，乃是国度的国。在本篇信息中，我是在吹号，说出禧年的一面，这一面乃是国度福音的一部分。我们都需要听国度的福音。利未记二十五章里有两种享受：对地的享受与对房屋的享受。对地的享受豫表对基督的享受，对房屋的享受豫表对召会生活的享受。我们在召会生活中不该大意，免得失去这生活。我们的确有可能在今世失去对召会生活，然后在来世千年国里痛失召会生活。
20The serious matter of dispensational reward and punishment during the coming age of the millennium is part of the gospel, in particular of the gospel as it is taught in Matthew. In Matthew we have the gospel of the kingdom. This gospel warns us concerning reward and punishment. “Unless your righteousness surpass that of the scribes and Pharisees,” says the Lord Jesus in Matthew 5:20, “you shall by no means enter into the kingdom of the heavens.” This teaching concerning the kingdom is different from that found in the Gospel of John. In John we do not have the gospel of the kingdom but the gospel of life. According to the Gospel of John, we enter the kingdom of God simply by regeneration (John 3:3, 5). This is the kingdom of life, and as long as we receive the divine life, we are in the kingdom of life. What we have in the Gospel of Matthew, however, is not the kingdom of life but the kingdom of the kingdom. In this message I am trumpeting, sounding out, an aspect of the jubilee that is a part of the gospel of the kingdom. We all need to listen to the kingdom gospel. In Leviticus 25 there are two kinds of enjoyment: the enjoyment of the land and the enjoyment of the house. The enjoyment of the land typifies the enjoyment of Christ, and the enjoyment of the house typifies the enjoyment of the church life. We should not be careless in the church life, lest we lose it. There is the definite possibility of losing the church life in this age and then of suffering the loss of the church life in the coming age, in the thousand years of the kingdom.
21有地而没有房屋是可能的，但有房屋就必定有地。享受地不一定会享受房屋，但享受房屋就必定享受地。只要我们享受房屋，保证我们也必享受地。我们若享受基督，并不保证我们也享受召会生活。但只要我们享受召会生活，我们也就享受基督。召会保证我们对基督的享受。
21It is possible to have the land without the house, but having the house surely implies having the land. The enjoyment of the land does not assure the enjoyment of the house, but the enjoyment of the house does assure the enjoyment of the land. As long as we enjoy the house, we may have the assurance that we are also enjoying the land. If we enjoy Christ, that does not assure us that we are also enjoying the church life. But as long as we are in the enjoyment of the church life, we are also in the enjoyment of Christ. The church assures us of Christ for our enjoyment
