马可福音生命读经 · 第69篇

一种完全照著神新约经纶，并为著神新约经纶的生活（十八）

A Life Fully According to and for God’s New Testament Economy (18
1读经：启示录1:4-5上，11-13,20;2:7,11,17,26-上，上，21;22:1-2,14,17。我们在马可福音前几篇生命读经信息中，看见主的门徒从祂开始尽职事起就跟从祂。主无论到那里去，总是一步一步的带著他们。祂甚至带他们一同进入祂的死与复活。这意思是说，奴仆救主经过的种种过程，门徒们也经过。
1Scripture Reading: Rev. 1:4-5a, 11-13, 20; 2:7, 11, 17, 26-28; 3:5-6, 12-13, 21-22; 4:5; 5:6; 14:13-16; 21:l-3a, 28;3:5-6,12-13,21-22;4:5;5:6;14:13-16;21:l-3 9-12, 14, 18-19a, 21; 22:1-2, 14, 17 9-12,14,18-19 In the foregoing messages of this Life-study of the Gospel of Mark, we have seen that the Lord’s disciples followed Him from the beginning of His ministry. The Lord brought them on step by step wherever He went. He even brought them with Him into His death and resurrection. This means that the disciples passed through the processes through which the Slave-Savior passed.
2主的门徒经过主的死与复活，就成了祂的继续，使徒行传揭示了这种继续。我们已经指出，在行传一章，门徒是主的继续，跟从祂过一种照著神新约经纶的生活。我们也看见使徒行传有那灵的两方面：素质的一面与经纶的一面。神的灵，如今是耶稣的灵，也就是耶稣基督的灵，是素质的，也是经纶的。素质的灵是为著我们属灵的所是，经纶的灵是为著我们的工作。我们这班信徒有属灵的所是、属灵的人位，这是属于素质的灵。我们也执行属灵的工作，这种工作是属于经纶的灵。所以，我们有素质的灵为著我们属灵的所是，也有经纶的灵为著我们的工作，以完成神的经纶。在本篇信息和下一篇信息里，我们要来看一种完全照著神新约经纶并为著神新约经纶之生活的总结。圣经的最后一卷书启示录，将这总结完全启示出来。
2By passing through the Lord’s death and resurrection His disciples became His continuation. This continuation is unveiled in the book of Acts. We have pointed out that in chapter one of Acts the disciples are the Lord’s continuation, following Him to live a life according to God’s New Testament economy. We have also seen that in the book of Acts there are two aspects of the Spirit—the essential aspect and the economical aspect. The Spirit of God, who is now the Spirit of Jesus and even the Spirit of Jesus Christ, is both essential and economical. The essential Spirit is for our spiritual being, and the economical Spirit is for our work. As believers, we have a spiritual being, a spiritual person, and this is of the essential Spirit. We also carry out a spiritual work, and this work is of the economical Spirit. Therefore, for our spiritual being we have the essential Spirit, and for our work to carry out God’secon o my we have the economical Spirit. In this message and in the following message we shall consider the consummation of a life that is fully according to and for God’s New Testament economy. This consummation is fully unveiled in the last book of the Bible, the book of Revelation
新约的内容
THE CONTENTS OF THE NEW TESTAMENT
3我们来到神新约经纶的总结以前，我愿意将整本新约的概要摆出来。为此，我请你们研究下一页的图表，这图表的题目是『神新约的经纶』。事实上，这图表陈明出一个新约内容的概览。
3Before we come to the consummation of God’s New Testament economy, I would like to present a brief view of the entire New Testament. For this, I would ask you to study the chart printed on pages 586-587 of this message. The chart is entitled “God’s New Testament Economy.” This chart actually presents a view of the contents of the New Testament
4许多基督徒把新约二十七卷书的排列分为三段：历史书－四福音与使徒行传；书信－罗马书到犹大书；以及启示录。但最近藉著马可福音生命读经，我们看见新约另有一种分段法。这种新约各卷书的分法，与主耶稣这活的人位有关，因为整本新约与这活的人位有关；这活的人位就是三一神的具体化身。照这种排列分法，新约可分为三段：四福音，使徒行传到犹大书，以及启示录。
4Many Christians would arrange the twenty-seven books of the New Testament into three sections: the books of history—the four Gospels and the book of Acts; the Epistles, from Romans through Jude; and the book of Revelation. However, recently, through the Life-study of Mark, we saw that there is another way to divide the New Testament into sections. This way of dividing the books of the New Testament is related to the living Person of the Lord Jesus, because the entire New Testament is concerned with this living Person, who is the embodiment of the Triune God. According to this way of arranging the New Testament into sections, we also have three sections: the four Gospels, the book of Acts through the Epistle of Jude, and the book of Revelation.
第一段－四福音子同著父来
THE FIRST SECTION—THE FOUR GOSPELS The Son Coming with the Father
5第一段（四福音）所启示的是甚么？我们看见，福音书启示子。当子来的时候，祂不是单独的来，乃是同著父来。约翰福音特别告诉我们，当子来到地上时，祂乃是同著父来。（八２９。）因此，子说祂并不是独自一人，因为总是有父与祂同在。（十六３２。）子甚至说，祂在父里面，父在祂里面。（十四１０。）这不只说出父与子共同存在，也说出父与子互相内在。
5What is revealed in the first section, the section that covers the four Gospels? The Gospels reveal the Son. When the Son came, He did not come alone; rather, He came with the Father. The Gospel of John in particular tells us that when the Son came to earth, He came with the Father (John 8:29). This was the reason that the Son said that He was not alone, for the Father was always with Him (John 16:32). The Son even said that He was in the Father and that the Father was in Him (John 14:10). This is a matter not only of the coexistence of the Father and the Son, but of the coinherence of the Father and the Son
子凭著灵来
The Son Coming by the Spirit
6四福音也启示子凭著灵来。祂是在素质上由那灵成孕，且由那灵而生的。关于这点，马太一章十八节说，马利亚从圣灵怀了孕。二十节接著记载主的使者对约瑟所说的话：『不要怕，只管娶过你的妻子马利亚来，因那生在她里面的，乃是出于圣灵。』不仅如此，在路加一章三十五节，天使对马利亚说，『圣灵要临到你身上，至高者的能力要覆庇你，因此所要生的圣者，必称为神的儿子。』主耶稣三十岁时，那灵在经纶一面降临在祂身上，祂就被灵所膏，这是为著祂的职事。（三２１～２３。）主耶稣是在素质一面由那灵成孕，且由那灵而生的，因此，祂有从圣灵所得的神圣素质，也有从童女马利亚所得的属人素质。所以，祂生为神人，是完整的神和完全的人。祂三十岁出来尽职事时，神的灵降临在祂身上，是在经纶一面而不是在素质一面。所以主在地上尽职时，是凭素质的灵生活，并凭经纶的灵尽职。因这缘故，我们说，在福音书里子是凭著灵而来。祂凭著灵而来，那灵是素质的灵，也是经纶的灵。
6The four Gospels also reveal that the Son came by the Spirit. He was conceived and born of the Spirit essentially. Concerning this, Matthew 1:18 says that Mary was “with child of the Holy Spirit.” Matthew 1:20 goes on to record the word of the angel of the Lord to Joseph: “Fear not to take Mary your wife, for that which is begotten in her is of the Holy Spirit.” Furthermore, in Luke 1:35 the angel said to Mary, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; wherefore also the holy thing which is born will be called, Son of God.” At the age of thirty, the Spirit descended upon the Lord Jesus economically, and He was anointed with the Spirit for His ministry (Luke 3:21-23). The Lord Jesus was conceived of the Spirit and born of the Spirit essentially. For this reason, He had the divine essence, which He received from the Holy Spirit, and the human essence, which He received from the virgin Mary. Hence, He was born the God-man, the One who was the complete God and a perfect man. When at the age of thirty He came forth to minister, the Spirit of God descended upon Him not essentially but economically. Therefore, as the Lord Jesus was ministering on earth, He lived by the essential Spirit and ministered by the economical Spirit. This is the reason we say that in the Gospels the Son came by the Spirit. He came by the Spirit who is both the essential Spirit and the economical Spirit.
三一神在耶稣基督里的具体化身
The Embodiment of the Triune God in Jesus Christ
7照四福音来看，子是同著父、且凭著灵而来。我们能看见这一点，是非常重要的。我们应该放弃一种思想，就是以为子乃是离开天上的父来到地上。不，子乃是同著父、且凭著灵而来。事实上，在子－耶稣基督－身上，我们看见三一神的具体化身。子同著父、且凭著灵而来，成为三一神在耶稣基督这人里的具体化身。
7According to the four Gospels, the Son came with the Father and by the Spirit. It is important for us to see this. We should give up the thought that when the Son came to earth, He left the Father in the heavens. No, the Son came with the Father, and He came by the Spirit. Actually, in Jesus Christ, the Son, we have the embodiment of the Triune God. The Son came with the Father and by the Spirit to be the embodiment of the Triune God in the Man Jesus Christ
神的帐幕与神的殿
God’s Tabernacle and God’sTem ple
8耶稣基督这位三一神的具体化身，乃是神的帐幕与神的殿。约翰一章一节和十四节说，那是神的话成了肉体，支搭帐幕在我们中间。约翰一章十四节的『支搭帐幕』，指明基督在肉体里时，乃是神的帐幕。神在祂里面支搭帐幕在人间。然后，我们在约翰二章看见，主是神的殿、神的居所。（１９，２１。）耶稣基督作为三一神的具体化身，乃是神的居所，为著在人中间彰显神。
8Jesus Christ, the One who is the embodiment of the Triune God, is God’s tabernacle and God’stem ple. John 1:1 and 14 say that the Word, who was God, became flesh and tabernacled among us. The word “tabernacled” in John 1:14 indicates that when He was in the flesh, Christ was the tabernacle of God. In Him God tabernacled among men. Then in chapter two of the Gospel of John we see that the Lord was the temple of God, the dwelling place of God (vv. 19, 21). As the embodiment of the Triune God, Jesus Christ was God’s dwelling place in order to express God among men
活神的生命，发展成为神的国
Living the Life of God to Develop into the Kingdom of God
9主耶稣是三一神的具体化身，作为神的帐幕与神的殿，祂活神的生命。祂过的是最高层次的生活，远高于伦常或道德。祂所活的生命实际上就是神自己。不仅如此，祂过这种生活，是为了使这种生活能发展为神的国。照四福音的启示来看，这位奇妙者所过的生活，结果是产生神的国。因为神的国就是神生命的发展，所以主耶稣不仅传讲神的福音，也传讲神国度的福音。（可一１４，路四４３，八１。）
9As the One who was the embodiment of the Triune God as God’s tabernacle and God’stem ple, the Lord Jesus lived the life of God. He lived a life on the highest plane, a life much higher than ethics or morality. The life He lived was actually God Himself. Furthermore, He lived such a life in order that this life might develop into the kingdom of God. According to the revelation in the four Gospels, the issue of the living of this wonderful One is the kingdom of God. Because the kingdom of God is the development of the life of God, the Lord Jesus preached not only the gospel of God but also the gospel of the kingdom of God (Mark 1:14; Luke 4:43; 8:1
10我盼望我们都能明白四福音这简要的大纲。我们在福音书中看见，子同著父、且凭著灵而来，成了三一神在耶稣基督里的具体化身。这一位三一神的具体化身，乃是神的帐幕与神的殿作为神的居所；祂活神的生命，这生命就发展成为神的国。
10I hope that we all shall be able to comprehend this brief outline of the four Gospels. In the Gospels we see that the Son came with the Father and by the Spirit to be the embodiment of the Triune God in Jesus Christ. This One, the embodiment of the Triune God, is God’s tabernacle and God’s tem pleas His dwelling place. This One lived a life of God, a life that developed into the kingdom of God.
第二段－使徒行传到犹大书
THE SECOND SECTION—ACTS THROUGH JUDE
11正如图表所指明的，新约的第二段包括使徒行传到犹大书的二十二卷书。这些书也是启示一个人位。我们在这里有那灵，就是子同著父，成了三一神在召会中的终极完成。
11As indicated by the chart, the second section of the New Testament includes the twenty-two books from Acts through Jude. These books are also the revelation of a Person. Here we have the Spirit as the Son with the Father to be the consummation of the Triune God in the church
那灵就是子同著父
the Spirit as the Son with the Father
12我们在这一段里不单看见那灵；我们看见那灵就是子。保罗在林前十五章四十五节说，末后的亚当耶稣基督成了赐生命的灵。保罗在这里不只是说，基督成了那灵，而是说祂成了赐生命的灵。这个形容词指明，那灵是赐生命者。只有一位灵赐生命，那就是神的灵。我们绝不可以认为除了圣灵以外，还有另外一位赐生命的灵。不，林前十五章四十五节里赐生命的灵，就是赐生命、神圣的灵。基督藉著复活，成了那赐生命的灵。
12In this section we do not see the Spirit alone; we see the Spirit as the Son. In 1 Corinthians 15:45 Paul says that the last Adam, Jesus Christ, became a life- giving Spirit. Here Paul says not only that Christ became the Spirit, but that He became a life-giving Spirit. This modifier indicates that the Spirit is the One who gives life. There is only one Spirit who gives life, and this is the divine Spirit. We should never think that in addition to the Holy Spirit there is another Spirit who gives life. No, the life-giving Spirit in 1 Corinthians 15:45 is the divine Spirit who gives life. Through resurrection Christ became the life-giving Spirit
13保罗在林后三章十七节清楚的说，『主就是那灵。』正如我们所指出的，这里的主就是主基督。因此，本节明显的告诉我们，基督是那灵。关于这一点，赖雷研读版圣经（RyrieStudyBible）的注解指出，这里有『一句很强的话，著重的说出基督与圣灵在素质上乃是一』。因此，
13In 2 Corinthians 3:17 Paul says clearly, “The Lord is the Spirit.” As we have pointed out, the Lord here is Christ the Lord. Therefore, this verse clearly tells us that Christ is the Spirit. Concerning this, the note in the Ryrie Study Bible says that here we have “a strong statement that Christ and the Holy Spirit are one in essence.” In the second section of the New Testament, therefore, we have the Spirit as the Son
14在新约的第二段，那灵就是子。
14
15当那灵来临的时候，祂乃是子同著父而来。父总是与子同在的。主耶稣在约翰十四章二十三节说，我们若爱祂，父也必爱我们，并且父与子要到我们这里来，同我们安排住处。这证明父与子同来；那灵既然是子的来临，父当然也同在。
15When the Spirit came, He came as the Son with the Father. The Father is always with the Son. In John 14:23 the Lord Jesus said that if we love Him, the Father will love us and both the Father and the Son will come to us and make an abode with us. This proves that the Father comes with the Son. Since the Spirit comes as the Son, the Father is also present
三一神的终极完成
the consummation of the Triune God
16那灵作为子同著父而来，而那灵乃是三一神的终极完成。在福音书里，子同著父、凭著灵，乃是三一神的具体化身。现今，从使徒行传到犹大书，那灵就是子同著父，乃是三一神的终极完成。
16The Spirit coming as the Son with the Father is the consummation of the Triune God. In the Gospels the Son with the Father and by the Spirit is the embodiment of the Triune God. Now in Acts through Jude the Spirit as the Son with the Father is the consummation of the Triune God.
在召会中
In the Church
17作三一神终极完成的那灵乃是在召会中。我们在新约的这一段看见，召会是基督的身体（弗一２２～２３）和神的殿。（弗二２１，林前三１６。）基督的身体是神的国，而神的殿是神的家。（提前三１５。）因此，说召会是基督的身体和神的殿，就是说召会是神的国与神的家。罗马十四章十七节说，神的国是在于公义、和平、并12圣灵中的喜乐。照罗马十二至十五章的上下文来看，神的国应当是指今天的召会生活。召会就是神的国与神的家。
17The Spirit as the consummation of the Triune God is in the church. In this section of the New Testament, we see the church as the Body of Christ (Eph. 1:22-23) and the temple of God (Eph. 2:21; 1 Cor. 3:16). The Body of Christ is the kingdom of God, and the temple of God is the house of God (1 Tim. 3:15). Thus, to say that the church is the Body of Christ and the temple of God is to say that the church is the kingdom of God and the house of God. Romans 14:17 says that the kingdom of God is righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. According to the context of Romans through 15, the kingdom of God must refer to today’s church life. The church is both the kingdom of God and the house of God.
活基督而成为神的丰满
Living Christ unto the Fullness of God
18我们这些在召会中的人，应当活基督而成为神的丰满。我们在第一段看见三一神的具体化身，活神的生命，好发展成为神的国。现在我们看见三一神在召会中的终极完成，活基督而成为神的丰满。『神的丰满』是在以弗所三章十九节启示出来的。我们在新约第二段的二十二卷书中，有一幅何等奇妙的图画！
18As those in the church, we should live Christ unto the fullness of God. In the first section, we see the embodiment of the Triune God living the life of God to develop into the kingdom of God. Now we see the consummation of the Triune God in the church living Christ unto the fullness of God. This expression “the fullness of God” is revealed in Ephesians 3:19. What a marvelous picture we have in the twenty-two books of the second section of the New Testament
19我们在使徒行传到犹大书中，到底看见了甚么？我们看见一个奇妙的、活的人位－那灵，就是子，同著父，成为三一神的终极完成，祂实化在召会中，为著活基督，而成为神的丰满。
19In Acts through Jude what do we see? We see a wonderful, living Person—the Spirit as the Son with the Father to be the consummation of the Triune God realized in the church to live Christ unto the fullness of God
第三段－启示录
THE THIRD SECTION—REVELATION
七灵出于那永远者，且属于那救赎者
The Seven Spirits out from the Eternal One and of the Redeemer
20现在我们来到新约的第三段。这一段只有一卷书，就是启示录。我们在启示录看见七灵出于那永远者，且属于那救赎者。（一４～５。）在第一段有子；在第二段有那灵；在第三段有七灵。在启示录，那灵成了七灵。七灵是出于那永远者，就是那昔是、今是、以后永是的一位。这永远者乃是耶和华神；出埃及三章启示祂是那昔是、今是、以后永是的一位。因此，启示录一章四节实际上是指出埃及三章的耶和华神那永远者，那永远的我是。
20Let us go on now to the third section of the New Testament. This section contains only one book, the book of Revelation. In the book of Revelation we see the seven Spirits out from the eternal One and of the Redeemer (Rev. 1:4-5). In the first section we have the Son; in the second section, the Spirit; and in the third section, the seven Spirits. In the book of Revelation the Spirit becomes the seven Spirits. The seven Spirits are from the eternal One, the One who is, who was, and who is coming. This eternal One is Jehovah God, who in Exodus 3 is revealed as the One who was, who is, and who is coming. Hence, Revelation 1:4 actually refers to Jehovah God in Exodus 3, the eternal One, the eternal I Am
21启示录一章四至五节中神圣三一的顺序，与马太二十八章十九节的顺5序不同。在马太二十八章十九节，那灵排列在第三；但在启示录一章四至五节，七灵排列在第二。七灵排列在第二的事实指明，七灵是出于那永远者，且属于那救赎者。启示录五章六节说，七灵是羔羊的七眼，七灵既是羔羊的七眼，七灵就必是属于救赎者羔羊。
21The sequence of the Trinity is different in Revelation 1:4 and 5 from that in Matthew 28:19. In Matthew 28:19 the Spirit is third, but in Revelation 1:4 and the seven Spirits are second. The fact that the seven Spirits are mentioned second indicates that the seven Spirits are from the eternal One and are also of the Redeemer. Revelation 5:6 says that the seven Spirits are the seven eyes of the Lamb. Since the seven Spirits are the seven eyes of the Lamb, the seven Spirits surely are of the Lamb, the Redeemer.
三一神的加强表现
The Intensification of the Triune God
22在启示录，七灵与三一神有关。我们在图表里指出，七灵是出于那永远者，且属于那救赎者；这七灵就是三一神的加强表现。子是三一神的具体化身，那灵是三一神的终极完成，七灵是三一神的加强表现。
22In Revelation the seven Spirits are related to the Triune God. On the chart we point out that the seven Spirits out from the eternal One and of the Redeemer are the intensification of the Triune God. The Son is the embodiment of the Triune God, the Spirit is the consummation of the Triune God, and the seven Spirits are the intensification of the Triune God
在得胜的召会中
In the Overcoming Church
23七灵作为三一神的加强表现，是在得胜的召会中。我们在启示录二至三章，一再的听见有关得胜者的话。以下的话在这几章中重复了七次：『那灵向众召会所说的话，凡有耳的，就应当听。』（二7，11，17，，三6，13，22。）论到得胜者的话，以及七次题到那灵向众召会说话，都指明在三一神的加强表现之下，主所要得著的乃是得胜的召会，就是胜过堕落光景的召会。我们在得胜的召会中所有的，不只是三一神的具体化身，以及三一神的终极完成。我们在得胜的召会中还有三一神的加强表现，就是七倍加强的三一神。
23The seven Spirits as the intensification of the Triune God are in the overcoming church. In chapters two and three of Revelation we hear again and again concerning the overcomer. Also in these chapters the following word is repeated seven times: “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches” (2:7, 11, 17, 29; 3:6,13, 22). The word 29 concerning the overcomer and the sevenfold mention of the Spirit speaking to the churches indicates that what the Lord desires under the intensification of the Triune God is the overcoming church, the church that overcomes the degraded situation. In the overcoming church we have not only the embodiment of the Triune God and the consummation of the Triune God; in the overcoming church we have also the intensification of the Triune God, the Triune God intensified sevenfold.
终极完成于金灯台与新耶路撒冷
Consummating in the Golden Lampstands and the New Jerusalem
24照启示录来看，得胜的召会终极完成于金灯台和新耶路撒冷。七个金灯台是在今世，而新耶路撒冷将在永世。因此，启示录开始于七个金灯台，而结束于新耶路撒冷。
24According to the book of Revelation, the overcoming church consummates in the golden lampstands and, ultimately, the New Jerusalem. The seven lampstands are in this age, and the New Jerusalem will be in eternity. Therefore, the book of Revelation opens with the seven lampstands and closes with the New Jerusalem.
25始引、发展与终结我们在新约的第一段，有神新约经纶的始引；在第二段有其发展；在第三段有其终结。这意思是说，在得胜的召会中，七灵作为三一神的加强表现，乃是新约经纶的终结。这加强的灵使神新约的经纶在两个阶段里得以完成：第一个阶段是在今世，有金灯台；最后一个阶段是在永世，就是在新耶路撒冷。
25INITIATION, DEVELOPMENT, AND FINALIZATION In the first section of the New Testament we have the initiation of God’s New Testament economy, in the second section we have its development, and in the third section we have its finalization. This means that the seven Spirits as the intensification of the Triune God in the overcoming church are the finalization of the New Testament economy. The intensified Spirit finalizes God’s New Testament economy in two stages: first, in this age, with the golden lampstands; finally, in eternity, in the New Jerusalem
26这就是整本新约中神新约经纶的概要。
