燔祭－基督作神的满足（七）在基督的经历中经历基督，并献上我们所经历的基督，按照我们对祂的经历，将祂当作我们的燔祭献给神（三）

The Burnt Offering Christ for God’s Satisfaction (7) EXPERIENCING CHRIST IN HIS EXPERIENCES AND OFFERING THE CHRIST WE HAVE EXPERIENCED AND OFFERING HIM TO GOD AS OUR BURNT OFFERING ACCORDING TO OUR EXPERIENCES OF HIM (3
1在前篇信息中，我们看见我们可以在基督被牵去宰杀、被宰杀、被剥皮和切块的经历中经历祂。在本篇信息中，我们要来看在基督作燔祭献给神的经历中，我们进一步对祂的经历。
1In the foregoing message we saw that we may experience Christ in His experiences of being brought to the slaughter, of being slaughtered, of being skinned, and of being cut into pieces. In this message we shall consider further aspects of our experiences of Christ in His experiences as the burnt offering to God
五 在祂的智慧上
E. In His Wisdom
2林前一章三十节告诉我们，基督成了从神给我们的智慧。在利未记一章，基督的智慧是由燔祭牲的头所豫表。我们需要基督的头，这就是
2First Corinthians 1:30 tells us that Christ has become wisdom to us from God. In Leviticus 1 Christ’s wisdom is typified by the head of the burnt offering. We need Christ’she ad; that is, we need His wisdom
3说，我们需要祂的智慧。
3
4我们若要接受基督作我们的智慧，就必须活基督。正确的基督徒生活，一种住在主里面，使我们享受祂生命的生活，乃是不凭自己，只凭基督来作事的生活。只要我们凭自己作事，我们就无法得著基督的智慧，祂也无法成为我们的智慧。例如，你若在自己里面，凭著自己对丈夫或妻子、并儿女说话，基督就不会在你的说话中成为你的智慧。我们若要凭基督说话并作事，就需要祷告：『主，活在我里面。我已经被钉死，现在活著的不再是我。主，我不想凭自己作任何事－我要凭你作一切事。实际上，主，我要让你活在我里面，为我作一切事。』当我们让基督活在里面，为我们作一切事时，祂就成了我们的智慧。
4If we would take Christ as our wisdom, we must live Christ. The proper Christian life, a life of abiding in the Lord that we may enjoy His life, is a life of doing things not by ourselves but by Him. As long as we do things by ourselves, we cannot have the wisdom of Christ and He cannot be wisdom to us. For example, if you speak to your husband or wife and to your children in your self and by your self, Christ will not be wisdom to you in your speaking. If we would speak and do all things by Christ, we need to pray, “Lord, live in me. I have been crucified, and it is no longer I who live. Lord, I don’t want to do anything by myself—I want to do everything by You. Actually, Lord, I would let You live in me and do everything for me.” When we let Christ live in us and do everything for us, He becomes our wisdom
5我们今天的难处乃是：我们想要过得胜并完全的生活，但我们却不凭基督生活行动。我们有心要凭基督活著，甚至要活基督，但我们不习惯这样作。反之，我们习惯活自己。我们不用努力，不用定意运用自己里面的任何部分，就自然活自己了。然而，我们要活基督，就需要操练我们全人。关于活基督这事，问题不在于事情是否有罪，乃在于那活著的是不是我们。我们常常看某件事情是否有罪，但神看我们是凭自己活，还是凭基督活。我们发脾气的时候，固然是作有罪的事，但即使我们的行为看起来没有罪，只要我们凭自己，不凭基督活著，就会产生罪。我们活自己，至终就会犯罪，因为那活著的是我们。但基督若活在我们里面，我们就会得胜，祂也会成为我们的智慧。
5Our problem today is that we want to live a victorious and perfect life, yet we do not live and act by Christ. We have the heart to live by Christ, even to live Christ, but we are not accustomed to doing this. On the contrary, we are accustomed to living ourselves. We spontaneously live ourselves without trying to do so and without deliberately exercising any part of our being. However, in order to live Christ, we need to exercise our entire being. Concerning the matter of living Christ, the question is not whether or not something is sinful but whether or not we are the ones who are living. We usually consider whether or not a certain thing is sinful, but God considers whether we are living by ourselves or by Christ. When we lose our temper, we do something sinful. However, even if our behavior does not seem to be sinful, if we live by ourselves and not by Christ, sin will issue forth. When we live ourselves, we eventually do something sinful, simply because we are the ones living. But if Christ lives in us, we shall be victorious, and He will become our wisdom.
6我们若在婚姻生活中活基督，基督就不仅成为我们的生命，也要成为我们的智慧。甚么时候我们觉得丈夫或妻子很难对付，那就是我们缺少基督作智慧。我们若没有活基督，我们在婚姻生活中就会有麻烦。避免和丈夫或妻子发生麻烦的路，就是活基督，因而得著祂作我们的智慧。基督非常有智慧。祂活在我们里面时，就在我们里面重复祂智慧的生活。这样，我们就在基督的智慧上经历祂，并过一种以基督作我们智慧的生活。论到我们在基督的智慧上经历祂，保罗说，『我们讲的，乃是从前所隐藏，神奥秘中的智慧，就是神在万世以前，为使我们得荣耀所豫定的。』（林前二7。）神的智慧就是基督，（林前一24，）祂是隐藏的奥秘，（西一26～27，）乃是在万世以前，为使我们得荣耀所豫定、豫派、豫立的。基督是神的奥秘，祂也是奥秘中的智慧，隐藏的智慧，以及神在万世以前，为使我们得荣耀所豫定的一位。我们也许以为这荣耀只为著将来﹔但我们若活基督，经历祂在生活中成为我们的智慧，甚至在今天我们就经历一点这荣耀。
6If we live Christ in our married life, Christ will be not only our life but also our wisdom. Whenever we find it difficult to deal with our husband or wife, we are short of Christ as wisdom. If we do not live Christ, we shall have trouble in our married life. The way to avoid trouble with our husband or wife is to live Christ and thereby have Him as our wisdom. Christ is very wise. As He lives in us, He repeats in us His life of wisdom. In this way we experience Christ in His wisdom and live a life with Christ as our wisdom. Concerning our experiencing Christ in His wisdom, Paul says, “We speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom which has been hidden, which God predestined before the ages for our glory” (1 Cor. 2:7). God’s wisdom is Christ (1 Cor. 1:24), who is the hidden mystery (Col. 1:26-27), predestined, predesignated, and foreordained before the ages for our glory. Christ is the wisdom of God, and He is the wisdom in a mystery, the hidden wisdom, and the One predestined by God before the ages for our glory. We may think that this glory is something only for the future. However, if we live Christ and He becomes our wisdom in our living, we shall experience a little of this glory even today
六 在祂是神的喜悦上
F. In His Being a Delight to God
7我们也可以在基督是神的喜悦上经历祂。主耶稣总是神的喜悦。在两个场合里，从诸天之上有声音说，『这是我的爱子，我所喜悦的。』（太三17，十七5。）我们今天若过一种以基督作我们燔祭的生活，我们也会成为神的喜悦。
7We may experience Christ also in His being a delight to God. The Lord Jesus was always a delight to God. On two occasions a voice from the heavens said, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I delight” (Matt. 3:17; 17:5). If we today live a life of Christ as our burnt offering, we too shall be a delight to God
8保罗就是这样经历了基督。他在加拉太一章十节说，『我现在是要得人的心，还是要得神的心？或者我是要讨人的喜悦么？我若仍讨人的喜悦，我就不是基督的奴仆了。』保罗所过的生活，乃是基督之生活的重复，常常讨神的喜悦。所以，他的生活是神所喜悦的。
8Paul experienced Christ in this way. In Galatians 1:10 he says, “For am I now persuading men or God? Or do I seek to please men? If I were still pleasing men, I would not be a slave of Christ.” Paul lived a life which was a repetition of Christ’s life, pleasing God all the time. His life, therefore, was a delight to God.
9我们可能以为保罗是特殊的，他的生活是无法相比的，他的标准对我们太高了。但保罗告诉我们要效法他。（林前四16，十一1。）保罗和我们一样；他是人，是旧造的一部分，并且活在肉体中。我们有没有在成为神的喜悦上效法保罗，在于我们里面是自己活还是基督活。倘若是我们在活，我们就无法成为神的喜悦。但我们若让基督为我们活，若凭基督活，甚至活基督，我们的生活必然成为神的喜悦。甚么时候我们的生活成为神的喜悦，我们里面对这会有深的感觉。我们会知道，我们所过的生活，乃是基督之生活的重复，并且是神的喜悦。我相信我们众人对这件事至少有过一些有限度的经历，那时我们深深觉得我们是在讨神喜悦，也使自己欢喜。然而，许多时候我们没有讨神喜悦，甚至因此也叫自己不喜悦。甚么样的生活讨神喜悦？惟一讨神喜悦的生活，就是重复基督在地上所过的生活。在基督作燔祭的经历中经历祂的生活，乃是讨神喜悦的生活。这样的生活是神的喜悦。
9We may think that Paul was extraordinary, that his living was incomparable, and that his standard is too high for us. Yet Paul told us to be imitators of him (1 Cor. 4:16; 11:1). Paul was the same as we are. He was a human being, he was part of the old creation, and he lived in the flesh. Whether we imitate Paul in being a delight to God depends on whether we live or Christ lives in us. If we are the ones living, we cannot be a delight to God. But if we let Christ live for us and if we live by Christ and even live Christ, our life will surely be a delight to God. Whenever our life is a delight to God, we shall have within us a deep sense regarding this. We shall know that we are living a life which is a repetition of the life of Christ and which is a delight to God. I believe that all of us have had at least a limited experience of this and have had the deep sense that we are pleasing to God and pleasing also to ourselves. Quite often, however, we are not pleasing to God and thus are not pleasing even to ourselves. What kind of life is pleasing to God? The only life that is pleasing to God is the life that is a repetition of the life Christ lived on earth. A life that experiences Christ in His experiences as the burnt offering is a God- pleasing life. Such a life is a delight to God
10保罗在罗十四章十八节说，『这样服事基督的，就为神所喜悦。』这里的『这样，』是指十七节所说，神的国在于公义、和平、并圣灵中的喜乐。凡这样服事基督的，就是在神的国里服事的，就为神所喜悦。我们过国度的生活，就是过一种公义、满有和平并喜乐的生活。这样一种生活是基督作燔祭之生活的重复，那总是神的喜悦。
10In Romans 14:18 Paul says, “He who in this serves Christ as a slave is well-pleasing to God.” The “this” here refers to verse 17, which tells us that the kingdom of God is righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. He who serves as a slave in this—in the kingdom of God—is well-pleasing to God. When we live a kingdom life, we live a life that is righteous and full of peace and joy. Such a living is a repetition of Christ’s life as the burnt offering, which is always a delight to God
七 在祂的心肠里
G. In His Inwards
11基督的心肠指祂所是内里的各部分，包括祂的心思、情感、意志和心，连同这些部分一切的功用。
11Christ’s inwards denotes all the inward parts of His being, including His mind, emotion, will, and heart with all their functions
12我们心肠（我们内里所是）的首要部分乃是心思。『你们里面要思念基督耶稣里面所思念的。』（腓二5。）基督里面所思念的，今天该是我们所思念的。这就是说，我们该以祂的心思为我们的心思。我们应该是一班没有自己天然心思，却带著基督心思的人。
12The leading part of our inwards, of our inner being, is the mind. “Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus” (Phil. 2:5). The mind which was in Christ should be in us today. This means that we should take His mind as our mind. We should be those not with our own, natural mind but with the mind of Christ.
13保罗在林前二章十六节下半说，『我们是有基督的心思了。』因著我们与基督在生机上是一，我们就有祂的一切机能。心思是智力的机能，领悟的器官。我们有基督这器官，就能知道祂所知道的。所以，我们不仅有基督的生命，也可以有基督的心思。基督必须从我们的灵浸透我们的心思，使我们的心思与祂的心思成为一。保罗在罗马八章六节说到将心思置于灵。这话不像他论到基督心思的话那么强。我们不该仅仅将心思置于灵，更该有基督的心思。『我在基督耶稣的心肠里，…切切的想念你们众人。』（腓一8。）心肠表征里面的情感，指柔细的怜悯和同情。保罗甚至在基督的心肠，基督里面柔细的各部分里，与基督是一，切切的想念圣徒。这指明保罗没有持守自己的心肠，而是以基督的心肠为他的心肠。他不仅接受了基督的心思，更接受祂整个内里的所是。所以，保罗内在的所是改变了，重组了，重新塑造了，重新构成了。他内在的所是被基督的心肠重构了。保罗没有在他天然的内在所是里过生活，乃在基督的心肠里过生活。
13In 1 Corinthians 2:16b Paul says, “We have the mind of Christ.” Because we are organically one with Christ, we have all the faculties He has. The mind is the intelligence faculty, the understanding organ. We have such an organ of Christ so we can know what He knows. Therefore, we may have not only the life but also the mind of Christ. Christ must saturate our mind from our spirit, making our mind one with His. In Romans 8:6 Paul speaks of setting the mind on the spirit. This word is not as strong as his word concerning the mind of Christ. We should not merely set our mind on the spirit but have the very mind of Christ. “I long after you all in the inward parts of Christ Jesus” (Phil. 1:8). The Greek word translated “inward parts” literally means bowels, signifying inward affection, then tender mercy and sympathy. Paul was one with Christ even in the bowels, the tender inward parts of Christ, in longing after the saints. This indicates that Paul did not keep his own inwards but took Christ’sin ward sash is. He took not only Christ’s mind but also His entire inward being. Paul’sinner being, therefore, was changed, rearranged, remodeled, reconstituted. His inner being was reconstituted with the inwards of Christ. Paul did not live a life in his natural inner being; he lived a life in the inwards of Christ
14『基督的真实在我里面。』（林后十一10。）这里的真实，意诚实、信实、可靠。那在基督里是真实的，就是诚实、信实、可靠的，也在使徒保罗里面。『我在基督耶稣里的爱，与你们众人同在。』（林前十六24。）保罗对哥林多人的爱，不是他的爱，乃是在基督里的爱，就是基督的爱。保罗不是凭他天然的爱，乃是凭基督的爱，来爱圣徒。我们若将这些经文摆在一起，就看见保罗是一个不断经历基督之心肠的人。因著他这样经历基督，他定然能按照他对基督的经历献上基督。
14“The truth of Christ is in me” (2 Cor. 11:10). “Truth” here means honesty, faithfulness, trustworthiness. What was in Christ as truth, that is, as honesty, faithfulness, trustworthiness, was also in the Apostle Paul. “My love be with you all in Christ Jesus” (1 Cor. 16:24). Paul’s love for the Corinthians was not his love but the love in Christ, which is Christ’s love. Paul loved the saints not by his natural love but by the love of Christ. If we put these verses together, we shall see that Paul was a man who continually experienced Christ’s inwards. Because he experienced Christ in this way, he surely was able to offer Christ according to his experience of Him.
八 在祂的行动上
H. In His Walk
15在利未记一章，燔祭牲的腿表征基督的行动，正如头表征祂的智慧。我们也需要在基督的行动上经历祂。
15In Leviticus 1, the legs of the burnt offering signify Christ’s walk, just as the head signifies His wisdom. We need to experience Christ in His walk
16在马太十一章二十九节，主耶稣说，『你们要负我的轭，且要跟我学。』这就是接受主的腿，主的行动，在祂的行动上经历祂。『你们…这样学了基督。』（弗四。）学了基督，就是有祂的腿和脚，好在生活、行动上完全像祂。『你们要效法我，像我效法基督一样。』（林前十一１。）这节指明保罗没有凭自己的腿和脚行动，乃是凭基督的腿和脚行动。
16In Matthew 11:29 the Lord Jesus says, “Take My yoke on you and learn from Me.” This is to take the Lord’s legs, His walk, and to experience Him in His walk. “You did…so learn Christ” (Eph. 4:20). To learn Christ is to have His legs and feet in order to live, walk, and 20 move exactly as He did. “Be imitators of me, as I also am of Christ” (1 Cor. 11:1). This verse indicates that Paul did not walk by his own legs and feet but walked by the legs and feet of Christ.
17彼得也在基督的行动上经历祂。他论到跟随基督脚踪的话，指明了这点：『给你们留下榜样，叫你们跟随祂的脚踪行。』（彼前二21。）保罗和彼得都是凭著作燔祭献给神之基督的腿和脚行动。
17Peter also experienced Christ in His walk. This is indicated by his word about following in Christ’s steps: “Leaving you a model that you should follow in His steps” (1 Pet. 2:21). Both Paul and Peter walked by the legs and feet of Christ as a burnt offering to God
九 在祂蒙圣灵保守，不受玷污的事上
I. In His Being Kept by the Holy Spirit from Defilement
18最后，我们可以在基督作燔祭，在祂蒙圣灵保守，不受玷污的经历上经历祂。这由利未记中，燔祭牲的腿和内脏的清洗所指明。1保罗在林前六章十一节和提多书三章五节，说到我们对这洗涤的经历。林前六章十一节说，『在我们神的灵里，你们已经洗净了自己。』我们若每天都经历这样的洗涤，然后来献基督作我们的燔祭，就能按照我们的经历献上祂。我们若没有经历圣灵的洗涤，就没有能力献上已经清洗的燔祭。我们需要在基督被圣灵洗涤的事上经历祂。保罗在提多书三章五节说到『圣灵的更新。』这更新也与我们在日常生活中蒙圣灵的洗涤保守，不受玷污的经历有关。
18Finally, we may experience Christ in His experiences as the burnt offering in His being kept by the Holy Spirit from defilement. This is indicated in Leviticus by the washing of the legs and inwards of the burnt offering. Paul refers to our experience of this washing in Corinthians 6:11 and in Titus 3:5. First Corinthians 6:11 says, “You were washed…in the Spirit of our God.” If we daily experience such a washing and then come to offer Christ as our burnt offering, we shall be able to offer Him according to our experience. If we do not have the experience of being washed by the Holy Spirit, we shall not have the capacity to offer a burnt offering that has been washed. We need to experience Christ in His being washed by the Holy Spirit. In Titus 3:5 Paul speaks of the “renewing of the Holy Spirit.” This renewing is also related to our experience in our daily life of being kept from defilement by the washing of the Holy Spirit.
19参献上我们所经历的基督我们需要向神献上我们所经历的基督作燔祭。保罗在罗马八章十一节下半说，『那叫基督从死人中复活的，也必藉著祂住在你们里面的灵，赐生命给你们必死的身体。』然后他在罗马十二章一节接著说，『将身体献上，当作圣别并讨神喜悦的活祭，这是你们合理的事奉。』在歌罗西一章二十八节，保罗说到『将各人在基督里成熟的献上。』这就是向神献上我们所经历的基督作燔祭。今天基督徒中间的光景乃是：很少人将基督献上作燔祭。你能在那里找到一班基督徒，每天向神献上他们所经历的基督作燔祭？关于这事，我们中间的光景又如何？我担心我们也缺少经历。这是在擘饼聚会或祷告聚会中，许多圣徒没有东西可发表的原因。我们可能想向神献上赞美，但我们若缺少经历基督的经历，我们就没有东西可以发表。然而，我们若对基督作燔祭的经历满了经历，我们的赞美就会有丰富的发表，不仅在聚会中，更在私下与主同在的时候。所以，我们该天天竭力在基督作燔祭的各面经历祂。然后，我们既对基督多有经历，就能向神献上所经历的基督。我们的祷告和赞美就会释放出我们对基督的经历。肆按照我们对基督的经历，
19III. OFFERING THE CHRIST WE HAVE EXPERIENCED We need to offer to God as a burnt offering the Christ whom we have experienced. In Romans 8:11 Paul says, “He who raised Christ Jesus from among the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who indwells you.” Then in Romans 12:1 he goes on to say, “Present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, well-pleasing to God, which is your most reasonable service.” In Colossians 1:28 Paul speaks of presenting “every man full-grown in Christ.” This is to offer to God as the burnt offering the Christ we have experienced. The situation among Christians today is that very few have Christ to offer as the burnt offering. Where can you find a group of Christians who daily offer to God as a burnt offering the Christ they have experienced? Regarding this, what is the situation among us? I am concerned about the fact that we also are short of experiences. This is the reason many saints have nothing to utter in the Lord’stable meeting or in the prayer meeting. We may want to offer praise to God, but if we are lacking in the experience of Christ’s experiences, we shall not have anything to utter. However, if we are full of the experience of Christ’s experiences as the burnt offering, we shall have rich utterance in praise not only in the meetings but also in our private time with the Lord. Therefore, we should endeavor to experience Christ daily in all His aspects as the burnt offering. Then, having much experience of Him, we shall be able to offer to God the Christ we have experienced. Our prayers and praises will be the release of our experiences of Christ. IV. OFFERING CHRIST TO GOD AS OUR BURNT OFFERING
将祂当作我们的燔祭献给神
ACCORDING TO OUR EXPERIENCES OF HIM
20我们需要按照我们对基督的经历，将祂当作我们的燔祭献给神。彼前二章五节和希伯来十三章十五节的这两处经节指明了这事。彼前二章五节说到，『藉耶稣基督献上神所悦纳的属灵祭物。』这些属灵祭物乃是基督在祂丰富的各种不同方面，作旧约豫表中一切祭物的实际；特别是包括基督作燔祭的实际。希伯来十三章十五节说，『所以我们应当藉著耶稣，常常向神献上赞美的祭。』这两处经节都指明，我门能向神献上基督作我们的燔祭，乃在于我们在基督的经历中对祂的经历。
20We need to offer Christ to God as our burnt offering according to our experiences of Him. Two verses which indicate this are 1 Peter 2:5 and Hebrews 13:15. First Peter 2:5 speaks of offering up “spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.” These spiritual sacrifices are Christ in all the varied aspects of His riches as the reality of all the sacrifices of the Old Testament types. In particular, the spiritual sacrifices include Christ as the reality of the burnt offering. Hebrews 13:15 says, “Through Him then let us offer up a sacrifice of praise continually to God.” Both of these verses indicate that we can offer Christ to God as our burnt offering only to the extent to which we have experienced Christ in His experiences.
21我们若在基督的经历中经历祂，不仅会有出于基督的东西献给神，更能按照我们经历的程序献上祂。假定你献上基督作公牛。首先，你将这供物带到祭坛，宰杀之地。然后你将牠杀死、剥皮，并清洗牠的腿和内脏。这程序就是回顾你在基督被牵去宰杀、被宰杀、被剥皮并清洗的经历上对祂的经历。你在日常的生活中这样经历过基督，现在当你向神献上基督作你的燔祭时，你就回顾你的经历。所以，你献祭的方式，说明了你对基督的经历。
21If we experience Christ in His experiences, not only shall we have something of Christ to offer to God, but we shall also be able to offer Him with a procedure that is according to our experiences. Suppose you offer Christ as a bull. First, you will bring this offering to the altar, the place of slaughter. Then you will kill it, skin it, and wash its legs and inwards. This procedure will be a review of your experience of Christ in His experiences of being brought to the slaughter, of being slaughtered, and of being skinned and washed. In your daily life you have experienced Christ in this way, and now as you offer Christ to God as your burnt offering, you review your experiences. Your way of offering, therefore, is a demonstration of your experience of Christ.
22那些亲眼看见这种回顾和说明的人，必定会有深刻的印象。当然，因著缺少经历，我们往往不常看见这事。偶尔在聚会中，我们听到赞美或见证，回顾并说明某人对基督的经历，我们就欣赏那个赞美或见证。
22Those who witness such a review and demonstration will surely be impressed by it. Of course, because we are short of experience, we do not often witness this. Nevertheless, sometimes in a meeting we hear a praise or a testimony which is a review and a demonstration of one’s experience of Christ, and we admire that praise or testimony
23我们在聚会中向神所献的燔祭，大部分是两只鸽子；祭物本身以及献祭之法都很贫穷，原因就是缺少对基督作燔祭的经历。我们若缺少对基督的经历，就没有甚么可以回顾或说明的。但我们若在基督的经历中对基督有丰富的经历，我们就能经过一个程序，回顾并说明我们对基督的经历。这样的回顾和说明在神眼中乃是珍宝。我们需要经历基督，然后将祂献上给神。在基督的经历中经历基督，就是跟随祂的脚踪。这就是活基督，重复祂在地上所过的生活。我们若活基督，就必定对基督有许多经历。当我们将这经历过的基督献上给神，我们就是按著一种回顾和说明的过程将祂献上，这种程序不仅叫人感动，也叫鬼和天使，特别叫神感动。神喜欢看见祂的儿女，藉著回顾并说明日常生活中对基督之经历的程序，将祂的儿子献给祂。召会的聚会若是满了这种献祭，那将是何等美妙！
23For the most part, the burnt offering we offer to God in our meetings is an offering of two pigeons. Both the sacrifice itself and the way of offering it are poor. The reason for this is the lack of the experiences of Christ as the burnt offering. If we are short of the experiences of Christ, we shall not have anything to review or to demonstrate. But if we have the rich experience of Christ in His experiences, we shall be able to go through a procedure to review and demonstrate our experiences of Christ. Such a review and demonstration are a treasure in the eyes of God. We need to experience Christ and then offer Him to God. To experience Christ in His experiences is to follow in His steps. It is to live Christ, repeating the life He lived on earth. If we live Christ, we shall certainly have many experiences of Christ. When we come to offer this experienced Christ to God, we shall offer Him according to a procedure of review and demonstration that is impressive not only to human beings but also to the demons and the angels and especially to God. God is happy to see His children offering His Son to Him by a procedure which reviews and demonstrates their experiences of Christ in their daily life. How wonderful the church meetings would be if they were full of this kind of offering
24关于敬拜，新约虽然给我们清楚的话和原则，却没有提供我们在旧约的豫表（特别是利未记中的豫表）里所看见的细节。例如，主耶稣在约翰四章二十三、二十四节告诉我们，真正的敬拜神乃是在灵和真实里；保罗在林前十四章也给我们一些原则，说到该如何聚会。但在约翰四章或林前十四章，我们都找不到关于敬拜或如何聚会的细节。要知道细节，我们需要来看利未记中的豫表。
24Concerning worship, the New Testament gives us clear words and principles, but it does not provide the details that we see in the Old Testament types, especially the types in Leviticus. For example, in John 4:23 and 24 the Lord Jesus tells us that genuine worship is to worship God in spirit and in truth, and in 1 Corinthians 14 Paul gives us certain principles related to how we should meet. But neither in John 4 nor in 1 Corinthians 14 do we find the details about worship or about how to meet. For the details we need to consider the types in Leviticus.
25利未记多处说到对神的敬拜。献燔祭和其他的供物就是敬拜神。神要我们用基督作供物的实际来敬拜祂。神不要一班人俯伏下跪，或仅仅唱诗赞美来敬拜祂。真正的敬拜，满足神心的敬拜，乃是将我们所经历的基督献给祂，并按照我们的经历献上基督，回顾我们在日常生活中所有的经历，藉以敬拜神。这是父所寻找的敬拜，祂所渴望的敬拜。父要我们藉者按照回顾经历的程序，将祂的儿子献给祂而敬拜祂。这需要许多经历。感谢主，利未记给我们看见，我们需要在基督的经历中经历祂，不仅得著祂作燔祭，也能彀经过一个程序，在其中藉著回顾对基督的经历，将祂献给神。
25The book of Leviticus has much to say about the worship of God. To offer the burnt offering and the other offerings is to worship God. God wants us to worship Him with Christ as the reality of the offerings. God does not want a people who worship Him by bowing down, kneeling, or even merely by singing and praising. Genuine worship, the worship which satisfies God’she art, is a matter of our coming to worship God by offering to Him the Christ whom we have experienced and offering Him according to our experiences, reviewing the experiences we have had in our daily life. This is the worship the Father is seeking, the worship He desires. The Father wants us to worship Him by offering His Son to Him according to a procedure in which we review our experiences. This requires much experience. We thank the Lord for showing us from Leviticus that we need to experience Christ in His experiences not only to have Him as the burnt offering but also to be able to go through a procedure in which we offer Christ to God by reviewing our experiences of Him
26你也许觉得不可能在基督作燔祭的经历中经历祂。然而保罗在腓立比三章十节告诉我们，我们只要经历基督复活的维持并加力，就能模成基督的死。宣信（A.B.Simpson）在他的一首诗歌中说，『我何难与基督同死，因复活我已认识。』（诗歌三六二首。）我们若看见在基督的经历中经历祂的异象，并且受吸引过这样的生活，我们就必然有信心，因为那位将自己的经历陈明作榜样的基督，现今就在我们里面作生命的供应。我们里面有全足的供应，这供应就是在复活里的基督之灵。保罗能说，『我在那加我能力者的里面，凡事都能作，』原因就在于此。所以，基督既在我们里面并为著我们，我们就不该灰心。就著燔祭而言，我们需要在基督的经历中经历祂。然后我们所献上给神作燔祭的，就要蒙祂悦纳。但我们怎能这样经历基督？我们在自己里面无法作这事，但我们藉著内住、复活的基督（祂自己就是复活）就能作到。在祂里面并藉著祂，一切关于经历基督作燔祭的事，我们都能作。在祂里面并藉著祂，我们就能在婚姻生活和召会生活中过得胜的生活，胜过我们家庭生活中一切的难处和召会生活中一切的问题。我们在那加我们能力者的里面，凡事都能作。所以，我们能在基督的经历中经历祂，并将祂献给神作燔祭。
26You may feel that it is impossible for you to experience Christ in His experiences as the burnt offering. However, in Philippians 3:10 Paul tells us that we can be conformed to Christ’s death if we experience the sustaining and strengthening power of Christ’s resurrection. In one of his hymns, A. B. Simpson says, “‘Tis not hard to die with Christ when His risen life we know” (Hymns, #481). If we see the vision concerning the experience of Christ in His experiences and are attracted to live such a life, we must have the faith that the very Christ who presents His experiences as an example is now in us as our life supply. We have an all- sufficient supply within us, and this supply is the Spirit of Christ in His resurrection. This was the reason Paul could say, “I can do all things in Him who empowers me” (Phil. 4:13). Therefore, since Christ is in us and for us, we should not be disappointed. Concerning the burnt offering, we need to experience Christ in His experiences. Then what we offer to God as a burnt offering will be accepted by Him. But how can we experience Christ in this way? We cannot do this in ourselves, but we can do it by the indwelling, resurrected Christ, who Himself is resurrection. In Him and by Him we can do all the things related to experiencing Christ as the burnt offering. In Him and by Him we can live an overcoming life in our married life and a victorious life in the church life, overcoming all difficulties in our family life and all problems in the church life. We can do all things in Him who strengthens us. Therefore, we can experience Christ in His experiences and have Him to offer to God as the burnt offering.
