3我们在马可福音看见,主耶稣是那照著神新约经纶生活的一位。这一位既是撒种者,又是种子。祂将自己作为种子撒到门徒里面。主收集了门徒,神所拣选的人,作祂的『土壤』,使祂能生长在其中,他们也能生长祂。主又将门徒同祂一起带到十字架上,把他们了结。此后,主将他们带到祂的复活里。我们在前几篇信息已经看见这些,现在我们要接著来看,门徒怎样成为主耶稣的继续。
3In the Gospel of Mark we see the Lord Jesus as the One who lived a life according to God’s New Testament economy. This One is both the Sower and the seed. He sowed Himself as the seed into His disciples. The Lord gathered the disciples, the chosen ones of God, as His “soil” in which He sowed Himself so that He might grow in them and that they might grow Him. The Lord also brought His disciples with Him to the cross and terminated them. After this, He brought them into His resurrection. Having seen all this in the foregoing messages, let us now go on to see how the disciples are the continuation of the Lord Jesus
4马可福音结束于主的升天。主耶稣已经复活、升天了,现今祂在作甚么?我们要找出主复活以后在作甚么,就需要使徒行传。
4The Gospel of Mark ends with the Lord’s ascension. What is the Lord Jesus doing now that He has resurrected and ascended? In order to find out what the Lord is doing after His ascension, we need the book of Acts
圣灵的两方面
TWO ASPECTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
5复活的基督在行传一章吩咐门徒,要留在耶路撒冷接受圣灵的浸:『约翰是在水里施浸,但过不多几日,你们要在圣灵里受浸。』(5。)祂在八节接著说,『圣灵降临在你们身上,你们就必得著能力。』这里我们看见,在圣灵里受浸就是圣灵降临在门徒身上。主在行传一章说到门徒要经历圣灵降在他们身上。但门徒岂不已经得著了圣灵么?照约翰二十章来看,主在复活那天晚上,向门徒显现,并向他们吹气说,『你们受圣灵。』(22。)该节将圣灵比作气。气是里面的,与我们里面的生命有关。所以,在约翰二十章二十二节,门徒接受圣灵作生命之气。
5In chapter one of Acts the resurrected Christ charged His disciples to remain in Jerusalem for the baptism in the Holy Spirit: “For John indeed baptized in water, but you shall be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days from now” (Acts 1:5). In verse 8 He went on to say, “You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you.” Here we see that the baptism in the Holy Spirit is a matter of the Spirit descending upon the disciples. In Acts 1 the Lord talks about the disciples experiencing the Holy Spirit coming upon them. But had the disciples not received the Holy Spirit already? According to John 20, in the evening of His resurrection day, the Lord appeared to His disciples, breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit” (v. 22). In this verse the Holy Spirit is likened to breath. Breath is something inward, something related to the life within us. In John 20:22, therefore, the disciples received the Holy Spirit as breath for life
6主复活四十天后,嘱咐门徒留在耶路撒冷,好让圣灵降临在他们身上。圣灵降临在门徒身上不是为著生命,乃是为著能力。我们在约翰1二十章有里面的灵,那是为著生命;在行传一章有外面的灵作为能力,为著受浸。人受浸时,不是把水喝进来,乃是浸在水中。照样,圣灵的浸是那灵在外面降临在我们身上,使我们得著能力。
6Forty days after His resurrection, the Lord commanded the disciples to remain in Jerusalem for the Holy Spirit to descend upon them. That descending of the Spirit upon the disciples was for power, not for life. In John 20 we have the Spirit inwardly for life; in Acts we have the Spirit outwardly for power, for baptism. When a person is baptized, he does not drink the water; instead, he is immersed in the water. In a similar way, the baptism in the Holy Spirit is a matter of the Spirit coming upon us outwardly so that we may have power.
7主在行传一章向门徒论到圣灵的话,到二章就应验了。五旬节那天,『忽然从天上有响声下来,好像一阵暴风刮过,』充满了门徒所坐的屋子,他们就都被圣灵充溢。(1~4。)门徒在主复活那天,接受圣灵作生命之气。五十天以后,圣灵在五旬节那天好像一阵暴风刮过,降临在门徒身上。我们可以很容易的看出气与风的分别。气是为著生命,风是为著能力。约翰二十章与行传二章有圣灵的两个象征:气,是为著里面的生命;风,是为著外面的能力。
7The Lord’sword to the disciples concerning the Holy Spirit in chapter one of Acts was fulfilled in chapter two. On the day of Pentecost “suddenly there came a noise out of heaven like a rushing violent wind,” and it filled the house where the disciples were sitting. Then they were all filled with the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:1-4). On the day of the Lord’s resurrection the disciples received the Holy Spirit as breath for life. Then fifty days later, on the day of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit came upon the disciples as a rushing mighty wind. We can easily see the difference between breath and wind. Breath is for life, and wind is for power. In John 20 and Acts 2 we have two symbols of the Holy Spirit: the breath for life inwardly and the wind for power outwardly
在主耶稣的生命和职事中
In the Life and Ministry of the Lord Jesus
8我们在主耶稣身上,也能看见圣灵的两方面。首先,主是由圣灵成孕的。(路一35,太一18,20。)然后祂在三十岁出来尽职事时,圣灵降在祂身上,祂就受了圣灵的浸。(路三21~22。)主由圣灵成孕是那灵在素质一面的事;但祂在圣灵里受浸,是那灵在经纶一面降在祂身上的事。因此,为著主成孕的圣灵是素质的,而为著祂职事的圣灵是经纶的。因著主耶稣是在素质一面由圣灵成孕的,灵就成了祂所是的素质。主有那孕育之圣灵的神圣素质;祂也从童女马利亚接受了属人的素质。因著祂是由神圣的素质成孕,且从属人的素质所生,所以祂生为一个神人。这意思是说,祂这位神人兼有两种素质:神圣的素质和属人的素质。所以,主是神,也是人;祂是完整的神,也是完全的人。这是关乎祂的所是,祂的生存。
8With the Lord Jesus we also see these two aspects of the Holy Spirit. First, the Lord was conceived of the Holy Spirit (Luke 1:35; Matt. 1:18, 20). Then at the age of thirty, when He came forth to minister, the Holy Spirit descended upon Him, and He was baptized in the Holy Spirit (Luke 3:21-22). The Lord’s being conceived of the Spirit was a matter of the Spirit essentially, but His being baptized in the Holy Spirit was a matter of the Spirit descending upon Him economically. Hence, the Holy Spirit for the Lord’s conception was essential, whereas the Holy Spirit for His ministry was economical. Because the Lord Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit essentially, the Spirit became the essence of His being. The Lord had the divine essence of the conceiving Holy Spirit. He also received the human essence from the virgin Mary. Because He was conceived of the divine essence and born with the human essence, He was born a God-man. This means that for His being as the God-man He had two essences—the divine essence and the human essence. Therefore, the Lord was both God and man, the complete God and a perfect man. This is a matter of His being, His existence
9主耶稣这神人活在地上三十年之后,在祂三十岁时开始尽职事。祂需要神的灵在经纶一面,不是在素质一面,降临在祂身上,使祂能尽职事。那灵降临在主耶稣身上,不是为著主的生存,乃是为著神的经纶。为著祂的生存,祂需要圣灵在素质一面作祂神圣的素质。但为著完成神的经纶,祂需要圣灵在经纶一面降临在祂身上。
9For thirty years the Lord Jesus lived on earth as the God-man. At the age of thirty He began to minister. For His ministry He needed the Spirit of God to descend upon Him not essentially but economically. This descending of the Spirit upon the Lord Jesus was for God’secon o my; it was not for the Lord’s existence. For His existence He needed the Holy Spirit essentially to be His divine essence. But for the carrying out of God’secon o my, He needed the Holy Spirit to descend on Him economically.
在门徒的经历里
In the Experience of the Disciples
10门徒也在素质一面和经纶一面接受了圣灵。他们在约翰二十章二十二节,在素质一面接受了那灵。接受素质的灵是为著他们属灵的生存,属灵的所是。在约翰二十章,当门徒接受圣灵时,他们乃是接受了神圣的素质。他们为著属灵的生存,接受了那灵的这一面以后,还需要接受经纶一面的灵,使他们能完成神的经纶,作为主耶稣的继续。门徒必须照著主耶稣的方式,来完成神的经纶。主既是凭经纶的灵来完成神的经纶,门徒也必须凭经纶的灵来完成神的经纶。所以,门徒在素质一面接受那灵以后,还必须在经纶一面接受那灵。他们乃是在行传二章接受了经纶的灵。我们已经强调,门徒在约翰二十章二十二节在素质一面接受圣灵,乃是为著他们的所是与生存。我们在行传一章看见,门徒乃是活在这种属灵的所是里。在约翰二十章以前,也就是在主的死与复活以前,他们的属灵所是还没有被点活过来,使他们可以在属灵上生存。他们是堕落、天然、属肉体的人。甚至在主第三次向他们启示祂的死与复活以后,(可十32~34,)门徒还在争论谁为大。(35~45。)此外,彼得否认主的时候,也必定是在他天然的人里面。但基督受死、复活以后,门徒接受了素质的灵作他们属灵所是的源头。在行传一章,门徒虽然还没有在经纶一面接受圣灵降临在他们身上,但他们已经在素质一面经历了那灵,为著他们属灵的生存。因此,在他们的所是上,他们是属灵的。
10The disciples also received the Holy Spirit both essentially and economically. They received the Spirit essentially in John 20:22. The receiving of the essential Spirit was for their spiritual existence, their spiritual being. When the disciples received the Holy Spirit in John 20, they received the divine essence. After receiving the Spirit in this aspect for their spiritual existence, it was still necessary for them to receive the Spirit economically so that they could carry out God’secon o my as the continuation of the Lord Jesus. The disciples had to carry out God’secon o my in the same way the Lord Jesus carried it out. Since the Lord carried out God’secon o my by the economical Spirit, the disciples had to carry out God’secon o my by the economical Spirit. Therefore, after receiving the Spirit essentially, the disciples needed to receive the Spirit economically. They received the economical Spirit in chapter two of Acts. We have emphasized that in John 20:22 the disciples received the Holy Spirit essentially for their spiritual being and existence. In Acts 1 we see the disciples living in this spiritual being. Before John 20, that is, before the Lord’s death and resurrection, the disciples had not been made alive in their spiritual being for their spiritual existence. Instead, they had a fallen natural, fleshly being. Even after the Lord had revealed to them His death and resurrection the third time (Mark 10:32-34), the disciples were still disputing concerning who was greater (Mark 10:35-45). In addition, Peter certainly was in his natural being when he denied the Lord. But after Christ’s death and resurrection, the disciples received the essential Spirit as the source of their spiritual being. In chapter one of Acts, although the disciples had not yet received the Holy Spirit descending upon them economically, they had experienced the Spirit essentially for their spiritual existence. Therefore, in their being they became spiritual
11门徒有了素质的灵,为著他们属灵的所是,但他们还需要圣灵在经纶一面降临在他们身上。这在五旬节那天发生了。在行传二章,那灵已经完全终极完成了,让信徒能彀经历。
11The disciples had the essential Spirit for their spiritual being, but they still needed the Holy Spirit to descend upon them economically. This took place on the day of Pentecost. In Acts 2 the Spirit was fully consummated for the experience of the believers.
在我们今天的经历里
In Our Experience Today
12你们甚么时候在素质一面并在经纶一面接受圣灵?有人会说,他们是在重生的时候,在素质一面接受了圣灵;而在重生以后的某个时候,才在经纶一面接受了圣灵。照著圣经对这事的领会,我们乃是在一千九百多年前就已经在素质一面并在经纶一面接受了圣灵。我们都在约翰二十章在素质一面接受了圣灵。然后,在基督里的犹太信徒是在行传二章,在经纶一面接受了圣灵;外邦信徒是在行传十章,在经纶一面接受了圣灵。
12When did you receive the Holy Spirit essentially and economically? Some may say that they received the Holy Spirit essentially when they were regenerated and economically at a time after their regeneration. According to the biblical way of understanding this matter, we received the Holy Spirit essentially and economically more than nineteen hundred years ago. We all received the Holy Spirit essentially in John 20. Then the Jewish believers in Christ received the Holy Spirit economically in Acts 2, and the Gentile believers received the Spirit economically in Acts 10
13我们可以用购买房屋来说明接受圣灵的事。假设某弟兄结婚以前买了一幢房屋。以后,他结婚了,并且有了孩子。那么,这位弟兄的妻子、儿女是甚么时候买这幢房子?正确的答案是,他买的时候也就是他们买的时候。我们接受圣灵,原则也是一样。我们在甚么时候接受圣灵?我们是在代表我们的门徒接受那灵时,就接受了那灵。历世纪以来,许多人信了主耶稣。每当一个人相信祂,主是否特别临到他,向他吹气,并且将他浸在圣灵里?不,主耶稣呼出那灵,并将信徒浸在那灵里,都是一次而永远的。主呼出那灵与祂在灵里施浸,都是已经完成的事实。主在约翰二十章,在素质一面将那灵吹进祂的身体里;这是一次永成的。现今,正如那位弟兄的妻子与儿女能分享他在婚前、儿女出生以前所买的房屋,我们这些成了祂身体上肢体的人,也照样能分享主所吹出来的那灵。在这事例中,妻子儿女不必再买房子;他们只要分享这位弟兄所买的房子就彀了。照样,主不必再吹出那灵,我们只管分享主已经吹到身体里的那灵。主耶稣复活以后来到门徒那里,将他们当作祂的身体,在素质一面将圣灵吹入他们里面。五十天以后,祂在五旬节那天,将祂身体上犹太人的部分浸到圣灵里。稍后,祂又在哥尼流的家里,将祂身体上外邦人的部分浸到圣灵里。那时,为著身体,那灵的终极完成就完全达成了。
13We may use purchasing a house as an illustration of receiving the Holy Spirit. Suppose a certain brother buys a house before he is married. Later he gets married and has children. When did this brother’s wife and children buy the house? The correct answer is that they bought it when he bought it. The principle is the same with our receiving the Holy Spirit. When did we receive the Holy Spirit? We received the Spirit when the disciples as our representatives received the Spirit. Throughout the centuries a great many people have believed in the Lord Jesus. Each time a person believes in Him does the Lord come to that one to breathe on him and then baptize him in the Holy Spirit? No, the Lord Jesus breathed out the Spirit and baptized the believers in the Spirit once for all. Both the Lord’s breathing out of the Spirit and His baptizing in the Spirit are accomplished facts. In John 20 the Lord breathed the Spirit essentially into His Body. This happened once for all. Now, as a brother’s wife and children share in the house purchased by him before he was married and before his children were born, in a similar way, we have a share in the Lord’s breathing out of the Spirit as those who have become members of His Body. In the one case, there is no need for the wife and children to purchase the house again. Instead, they simply share in the house purchased by the brother. In a similar way, there is no need for the Lord to breathe out the Spirit again. We simply need to share in the Spirit breathed by the Lord into the Body. After His resurrection, the Lord Jesus came to His disciples and, regarding them as His Body, breathed the Holy Spirit into them essentially. Fifty days later, on the day of Pentecost, He baptized the Jewish part of His Body into the Holy Spirit. Later, in the house of Cornelius, He baptized the Gentile part of His Body into the Spirit. At that time the consummation of the Spirit for the Body was fully accomplished.
14每当一个罪人相信主耶稣时,他相信的行动就使他与主并与身体联结。这样,那灵就成了他的分。如今,他有分于主向祂身体在素质一面所吹的那灵,并且有分于祂在经纶一面在那灵里为祂身体的施浸。我们不该认为有两个灵,或者认为灵是可以分开的。相反的,灵只有一个;然而,灵是有两面的,一面是为著素质,另一面是为著经纶。灵的头一面是素质的,第二面是经纶的。今天在我们的经历里,我们有圣灵的两面;我们有素质的灵与经纶的灵。
14Whenever a sinner believes in the Lord Jesus, his believing joins him both to the Lord and to the Body. In this way, the Spirit becomes his portion. He now has a share in the Lord’s breathing of the Spirit essentially into the Body and in His baptizing the Body in the Spirit economically. We should not think that there are two Spirits or that the Spirit can somehow be divided. On the contrary, there is one Spirit. Yet there are the two aspects of the Spirit, one aspect for essence and another aspect for economy. The first aspect of the Spirit is essential; the second aspect is economical. Today in our experience we have both aspects of the Holy Spirit. We have both the essential Spirit and the economical Spirit
使徒行传里素质的灵
the essential Spirit and
与经纶的灵
THE ECONOMICAL SPIRIT IN ACTS
15我们可以说,在使徒行传里有那灵的两条线-素质之灵的线和经纶之灵的线。让我们先来看一些与经纶之灵有关的经节,然后再来看一些与素质之灵有关的经节。
15In the book of Acts we may say that there are two lines concerning the Spirit—the line of the essential Spirit and the line of the economical Spirit. Let us first consider some verses related to the economical Spirit and then verses related to the essential Spirit
经纶的灵
the economical Spirit
16行传一章五节说,『因为约翰是在水里施浸,但过不多几日,你们要在圣灵里受浸。』很明显的,这是指经纶的灵。八节接著说,『但圣灵降临在你们身上,你们就必得著能力。』那灵降临在我们身上,乃是经纶之灵的事。二章四节说,门徒『就都被圣灵充溢』。我们在这里看见,门徒在经纶一面被圣灵充溢,使他们能尽职事。二章十七至十八节说,『神说,在末后的日子,我要将我的灵浇灌在一切属肉体的人身上;你们的儿女要说豫言,你们的青年人要见异象,你们的老年人要作异梦。在那些日子,我要将我的灵浇灌在我的奴仆和婢女身上,他们就要说豫言。』这两节论到那灵的浇灌。这与基督复活那天从口里将那灵吹到门徒里面是不同的。神的灵从诸天之上浇灌下来,是在基督升天以后。前者是那灵在素质一面吹到门徒里面,为著他们属灵的所是与生存;后者是那灵在经纶一面浇灌在他们身上,为著他们的工作。
16Acts 1:5 says, “For John indeed baptized in water, but you shall be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days from now.” This clearly refers to the economical Spirit. Then verse 8 goes on to say, “But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you.” The Spirit coming upon us is a matter of the economical Spirit. Acts 2:4 says that the disciples “were all filled with the Holy Spirit.” Here we see that the disciples were filled with the Spirit economically for their ministry. Acts 2:17 and 18 say, “And it shall be in the last days, says God, that I will pour out of My Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams; and upon My slaves, both men and women, I will pour out of My Spirit in those days, and they shall prophesy.” These verses speak of the pouring out of the Spirit. This differs from the breathing of the Spirit into the disciples out of the mouth of Christ at His resurrection. The pouring out of God’s Spirit was from the heavens at Christ’s ascension. The former is the essential aspect of the Spirit breathed into the disciples for their spiritual being and existence; the latter is the economical aspect of the Spirit poured upon them as power for their work
17行传四章两次题到经纶一面的圣灵。八节说,彼得『被圣灵充溢』。这是为著职事而在经纶一面被那31灵充溢。三十一节说,『他们就都被圣灵充溢。』这也是在经纶一面被那灵充溢。我们在九章十七节看见,亚拿尼亚奉差遣往大数的扫罗那里去,好使扫罗能领受圣灵在经纶一面的充溢:『亚拿尼亚就去了,进了那家,按手在扫罗身上,说,扫罗弟兄,在你来的路上向你显现的耶稣,就是主,差遣我来,叫你能看见,又被圣灵充溢。』亚拿尼亚来到以前,扫罗已经接受了素质的灵。当扫罗呼求主名的时候,他就开始有分于素质的灵。但在九章十七节,亚拿尼亚来按手在他身上,乃是使他能有分于经纶的灵。十三章九节告诉我们,保罗被圣灵充溢,这也是指经纶的灵。
17In chapter four of Acts the economical aspect of the Holy Spirit is mentioned twice. Verse 8 says that Peter was “filled with the Holy Spirit.” This was an economical filling of the Spirit for ministry. Verse says, “They were all filled with the Holy Spirit.” This also was an economical filling of the Spirit. In Acts 9:17 we see that Ananias was sent to Saul of Tarsus so that Saul might receive an economical filling of the Holy Spirit: “Ananias went away and entered into the house; and laying his hands on him, he said, Saul, brother, the Lord has sent me, Jesus, who appeared to you on the road by which you came, so that you may receive your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” Before Ananias came to him, Saul had already received the essential Spirit. When Saul called on the Lord’s name, he began to participate in the essential Spirit. But in 9:17 Ananias came to lay hands on him so that he could participate in the economical Spirit. Acts 13:9 tells us that Paul was filled with the Holy Spirit. This also refers to the economical aspect of the Spirit.
素质的灵
the essential Spirit
18使徒行传里也有其他经节是指素质的灵,其中一节是六章三节:『所以弟兄们,当从你们中间拣选七个有好见证,满有那灵和智慧的人,我们就派他们管理这事。』这是指在素质上被灵充满,是为著生命的。六章所说的事奉,不必有能力,却需要带著智慧与忍耐的生命。我们要尽这样的事奉,需要被生命的灵,而不是能力的灵充满。被能力的灵充溢是为著神的经纶,但被生命的灵充满,乃是为著我们属灵的生存。本节的『智慧』指明这里的充满,是素质之灵的充满,乃是为著生命。
18Other verses in Acts refer to the essential Spirit. One of these verses is Acts 6:3: “Now brothers, select seven well-attested men from among you, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we shall appoint over this need.” This refers to being filled with the Spirit essentially for life. To do the service spoken of in chapter six does not require power; it requires life with wisdom and endurance. For this service we need to be full of the Spirit of life, not with the Spirit of power. To be filled with the Spirit of power is for God’secon o my, but to be filled with the Spirit of life is for our spiritual existence. In this verse “wisdom” indicates that the filling is the filling of the essential Spirit for life
19六章五节告诉我们,司提反『乃是满有信心和圣灵的人』。这再一次是指那灵素质的一面。
19In Acts 6:5 we are told that Stephen was “a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit.” Once again, this refers to the essential aspect of the Spirit.
20当司提反被人用石头打的时候,他满了素质的灵:『但司提反满有圣灵,定睛望天,看见神的荣耀,又看见耶稣站在神的右边。』(七55。)这里所说的满有那灵不是能力的事,乃是生命的事;因此,这是素质之灵的充满。十一章二十四节论到巴拿巴,形容他『原是个好人,满有圣灵和信心』。本节也说到那灵素质的一面。十三章五十二节说,『门徒就被喜乐和圣灵充满。』这里的被圣灵充满是为著生命,不是为著能力。在本节,门徒在素质上被圣灵充满,不是为著能力,乃是为著生命。
20When Stephen was stoned, he was full of the Spirit essentially: “Being full of the Holy Spirit, looking intently into heaven, he saw the glory of God and Jesus standing at the right hand of God” (7:55). The filling of the Spirit here is a matter of life, not of power. Hence, it is the filling of the essential Spirit. Speaking of Barnabas, Acts 11:24 describes him as a “good man and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith.” This verse also speaks of the essential aspect of the Spirit. Acts 13:52 says, “The disciples were made full of joy and of the Holy Spirit.” The filling of the Holy Spirit here is not for power but for life. In this verse the disciples were filled with the Holy Spirit essentially for life, not for power
21当我们思考使徒行传这些经节,就清楚的看见圣灵的两面。我们看见那灵素质的一面,为著我们属灵的生命。我们也看见那灵经纶的一面,为著使我们能完成神新约经纶的工作。
21As we consider these verses in the book of Acts, we see clearly the two aspects of the Holy Spirit. On the one hand, we see the essential aspect of the Spirit for our spiritual being; on the other hand, we see the economical aspect of the Spirit for our work to carry out God’s New Testament economy
