利未记生命读经 · 第64篇

结语

A CONCLUDING WORD
1在已过二十八篇信息中,我们说到利未记末了的十七章。这十七章形成本书的第二段。现今在这结语中,我要来看六件事,这些事是十一至二十七章的要点。
1In the twenty-eight foregoing messages, we covered the last seventeen chapters of Leviticus. These seventeen chapters form the second section of this book. Now, in this concluding word, I would like to consider six matters that are the main points in chapters eleven through twenty-seven of Leviticus
我们的光景
OUR SITUATION
2利未记这个段落的前五章揭示我们的光景。按照这几章,我们与人的接触可能是不洁净的,我们的源头、起源也是不洁净的。不仅如此,我们的光景乃是痲疯,从我们所发出的漏泄也是不洁净的。这是我们的光景,是十一至十五章向我们清楚揭示的。
2The first five chapters of this section of Leviticus unveil our situation. According to these chapters, our contact with others may be unclean, and our source, our origin, is uncleanness. Furthermore, our condition is one of leprosy, and whatever comes out of us as a discharge is unclean. This is our situation as it is clearly unveiled to us in chapters eleven through fifteen
基督的救赎
CHRIST’S REDEMPTION
3第二个要点是基督的救赎。利未记不用救赎一辞,乃用遮罪(成就平息)一辞。基督的救赎,基督的成就平息,已经解决我们的难处,将我们带回归神。我们不仅被赎回归神,带到神面前-我们也被带进神自己里面。现今我们是在终极完成的三一神里面;在此,我们在祂里面,有完满的享受。
3The second main point is Christ’s redemption. Instead of the word redemption, the word used in Leviticus is propitiation. Christ’s redemption, His propitiation, has solved our problems and has brought us back to God. We have not only been redeemed back to God and brought into His presence—we have been brought into God Himself. Now we are in the consummated Triune God, and here, in Him, we have full enjoyment
4享受经过过程并终极完成之三一神的丰富
4THE ENJOYMENT OF THE RICHES OF THE PROCESSED AND CONSUMMATED TRIUNE GOD
5藉著基督的救赎,我们已经被带回归神,并带进神里面,现今可以享受经过过程并终极完成之三一神的一切丰富。这在利未记二十三章完全启示出来;二十三章说到七个节,是给我们享受神一切丰富的七个节期。我们乃是在神自己里面享受神的丰富。藉著享受经过过程并终极完成之三一神的丰富,我们成了祂的彰显。这就是说,我们成为基督的身体,就是基督的扩大,来彰显基督。
5Having been brought back to God and into God by Christ’s redemption, we may now enjoy all the riches of the processed and consummated Triune God. This is fully revealed in Leviticus 23, a chapter that speaks of the seven feasts, which are seven festivals for our enjoyment of all the riches of our God. It is in God Himself that we have the enjoyment of His riches. By enjoying the riches of the processed and consummated Triune God, we become His expression. This means that we become the Body of Christ as the enlargement of Christ to express Christ
禧年
THE JUBILEE
6我们享受经过过程并终极完成之三一神的丰富,就得以进入第四点-禧年。禧年乃是我们在神自己里面,享受三一神之丰富的完成与总结。我们享受三一神一切的丰富,并且在三一神里面得著这享受时,就要达到禧年,那是直到永远的。
6Our enjoyment of the riches of the processed and consummated Triune God brings us to the fourth point—the jubilee. The jubilee is the completion and the consummation of our enjoyment of the riches of the Triune God in God Himself. When we enjoy the Triune God in all His riches and when we have this enjoyment in the Triune God Himself, we will reach the jubilee, which will be for eternity.
三个极重要的项目
THREE CRUCIAL ITEMS
7第五点,我们领悟到有三个项目对我们是极其重要的。
7The fifth point is our realization that three items are crucial to us
神是我们独一的目标
God as Our Unique Goal
8神自己该是我们独一的目标、独一的标的。除了神以外,我们不该有别的目标。我们不该在神之外追求甚么。我们的目标乃是这位经过过程、终极完成,作我们完满享受的三一神。
8God Himself should be our unique goal, our unique aim. Apart from Him we should not have any other goal. We should not seek anything other than God. Our goal is the Triune God processed, completed, and consummated to be our full enjoyment
尊重神所完成的工作
Respecting God’s Completed Work
9我们都需要尊重神所完成的工作,这工作乃是神为著我们的利益和安息完成的。神的工作已经完成,且是为著我们的安息完成的。所以,我们需要尊重神自己,并祂那为我们利益的工作。
9We all need to respect God’s completed work, the work that God has accomplished for our interest and for our rest. God’s work has been accomplished, and it has been accomplished for our rest. Therefore, we need to regard God Himself and His work for our interest
10神的工作有一个结果,这结果就是祂的扩大,祂的延展。这扩大乃是基督的身体,就是那经过过程的三一神与祂所拣选并救赎的人调和为一个实体。这实体就是神的居所、神的具体化身、与神的彰显。至终,这实体要成为神永远的显出。
10God’s work has a result, and this result is His enlargement, His extension. This enlargement is the Body of Christ, which is the mingling of the processed Triune God and His chosen and redeemed people as one entity. This entity is God’s dwelling, God’s embodiment, and God’sex press i on. Eventually, it will be God’s manifestation in eternity
顺从神
Obeying God
11基于我们以神作独一的目标,并且尊重祂所完成工作这事实,我们顺从神。顺从神,意思就是与神同行。顺从神,就是与神所是并所完成的一切相合。我们顺从神,就与神并祂的工作相合;也与神的工作,就是祂的扩大相合。我们与神相合并与神同行,自然就顺从祂,藉此也就接受祂丰富的祝福。
11Based upon the fact of having God as our unique goal and regarding His completed work, we obey God. To obey God simply means to go along with God. To obey God is to agree with all that He is and with all that He has accomplished. When we obey God, we agree with God and with His work. We also agree with the result of God’s work, which is His enlargement. When we agree with God and go along with Him, we spontaneously obey Him, and by obeying Him we receive His rich blessing
许愿
MAKING A VOW
12至终我们看见,需要有一些愿意且能享受神、享受神的工作、享受神工作结果的人。我们若要成为享受神、神的工作、与神工作结果的人,就需要藉著许愿,对神的愿望有所反应。神要我们成为享受祂的人,我们对神这愿望的回应,不该是平常的,乃该是特殊的。这就是说,我们该许愿。我们需要许愿,告诉神我们要按照利未记这卷书所启示的来享受祂。我们该告诉祂,我们要藉著尊敬祂、尊重祂的工作、并敬重祂工作的结果来享受祂。这愿乃是享受那经过过程、终极完成的三一神。这三一神具体化身在基督里,基督又与祂的身体,就是祂的彰显,是一。
12Finally, we need to see that there is the need for those who are willing and able to enjoy God, to enjoy God’s work, and to enjoy the result of God’s work. If we would be those who enjoy God, God’s work, and the result of God’s work, we need to respond to God’s desire by making a vow. Our response to God’s desire that we be His enjoyers should not be ordinary but particular. This means that it should be a vow. We need to make a vow in which we tell God that we shall enjoy Him according to what is revealed in the book of Leviticus. We should tell Him that we want to enjoy Him by regarding Him, by respecting His work, and by honoring the result of His work. This is a vow to enjoy the processed, completed, and consummated Triune God. This Triune God is embodied in Christ, and Christ is one with His Body, which is His expression.
13我们都需要尊重神、神的工作、以及祂工作的结果,与祂同行,并成为享受祂的人。为此,我们必须向神许愿回应。你愿意这样作么?让我们今天都来许这样的愿。
13We all need to regard God, His work, and the result of His work, go along with Him, and become those who enjoy Him. For this, we have to respond to God by making a vow. Are you willing to do this? Let us all make such a vow today
