人救主在祂带著神圣属性之人性美德中的职事

The Ministry of the Man-Savior in His Human Virtues with His Divine Attributes
从加利利到耶路撒冷（七）
from Galilee To Jerusalem (7
1读经：路加福音十二章一至四十八节。在十一章的信息中我们看见，当我们把自己祷告到神里面，并接受祂丰富的供应，就是那包罗万有之灵全备的供应，我们就被这供应充满并占有，我们里面就没有为著鬼─邪灵─的空位。因著我们被神圣供应的丰富所充满，我们就满了光，能照亮别人。于是这光把我们带到经过死并进入复活的基督里面。现今我们能经历祂是真约拿和真所罗门。我们在祂这位真所罗门里面，认识神的智慧、神永远的定旨，以及神的经纶。我们在这经纶里，享受神的奥秘。这奥秘就是基督（神的彰显）与召会（基督的彰显）。这是真正的禧年。
1Scripture Reading: Luke 12:1-48 In the messages on chapter eleven we saw that when we pray ourselves into God and receive His rich supply, which is the bountiful supply of the all- inclusive Spirit, we are filled with this supply and occupied by it so that there is no room in us for demons, evil spirits. Because we are filled with the riches of the divine supply, we are full of light and we can illumine others. This light then brings us into Christ as the One who passed through death and entered into resurrection. Now we can experience Him as the real Jonah and the real Solomon. In Him as the real Solomon we know the wisdom of God, the eternal purpose of God, and the economy of God. In this economy we enjoy the mystery of God. This mystery is Christ as the expression of God and the church as the expression of Christ. This is the real jubilee
2我们把自己祷告到神里面，享受祂供应的丰富，就经历基督的神性与人性。我们享受祂的神圣属性与人性美德。然后，我们过最高标准道德的生活，这种标准的道德使我们能享受新约的禧年。路加十一、十二、十三、十四章很难领会。我们看这几章的时候，需要晓得我们对神圣话语天然的领会完全不可靠。我们要领会一卷圣经，就需要知道写那卷书所根据的原则和元素。我们需要找出写某卷书的管治原则和基本元素。许多新约读者没有看见，写路加福音所根据的管治原则和基本、内在的元素。我们感谢主，因著祂的怜悯，神已给我们看见这些事。根据我们所看见路加福音的管治原则和基本元素，我们有正确的眼光来看十一至十四章的意义。要进入十一章的深处了解其意义，并不简单。要进入十二章的深处领会这章的意义，就更困难了。
2By praying ourselves into God to enjoy the riches of His supply, we experience the divinity and humanity of Christ. We enjoy His divine attributes and human virtues. Then we live a life which is of the highest standard of morality, and this standard of morality enables us to enjoy the New Testament jubilee. Chapters eleven, twelve, thirteen, and fourteen of Luke are difficult to understand. As we consider these chapters, we need to realize that our natural understanding of the holy Word is altogether not reliable. In order to understand any book of the Bible, we need to know the principles and elements according to which that book was written. We need to discover the governing principles and the basic elements of the writing of a particular book. Many readers of the New Testament have not seen the governing principles and the basic and intrinsic elements according to which the Gospel of Luke was written. We thank the Lord that, in His mercy, He has shown us these things. Based upon what we have seen of the governing principles and the basic elements of the Gospel of Luke, we have the proper perspective to see the meaning and significance of chapters eleven through fourteen. It is difficult to enter into the depths of chapter eleven and see its significance. It is even more difficult to enter into the depths of chapter twelve and grasp the significance of this chapter.
3路加十二章一至四十八节包括三个警告：警告提防宗教的伪善、（路十二1～12、）警告勿贪婪、（路十二13～34、）警告要儆醒并忠信。（路十二35～48。）我们需要接受这三个警告，这些警告事实上就是十一章里主话的延续。在本篇信息里，我们要力求领会人救主在这里所给之警告的意义。按十一章，我们需要把自己祷告到神里面，使我们留在祂里面，被祂的丰富所充满，被包罗万有赐生命的灵所充满，使我们在最高标准的道德中生活，以享受并有分于新约的禧年。我们需要记得，十一章所记载主的话，是在主将近耶路撒冷的时候说的。这就是说，当神教导门徒属灵的事时，祂乃是将近耶路撒冷。
3Luke 12:1-48 contains three warnings: the warning concerning religious hypocrisy (vv. 1-12), the warning concerning covetousness (vv. 13-34), and the warning to be watchful and faithful (vv. 35-48). We need to receive these three warnings, warnings that are actually a continuation of the Lord’sword in chapter eleven. In this message we shall seek to understand the significance of the warnings given here by the Man-Savior. According to chapter eleven, we need to pray ourselves into God so that we may remain in Him and be filled with His riches, filled with the all-inclusive life-giving Spirit, that we may live a life in the highest standard of morality for the enjoyment and participation in the New Testament jubilee. We need to remember that the Lord’swords recorded in chapter eleven were spoken as He was approaching Jerusalem. This means that while He was teaching the disciples concerning spiritual things, He was approaching Jerusalem
宗教和文化的中心
A CENTER OF RELIGION AND CULTURE
4那时，耶路撒冷是犹太宗教与带著物质产业之高度文化的中心。那些住在耶路撒冷的人注重宗教和属地的产业，以享受更好的生活。所以，犹太京城耶路撒冷的特征，就是宗教、文化同其物质的享受。在十一至十四章，主耶稣训练跟从祂的人过最高标准道德的生活，使他们能被带进新约禧年完满的分里。我们已经看见，这教训是主在往耶路撒冷的路上对人说的。
4At that time, Jerusalem was a center of the Jewish religion and of a high culture with material possessions. Those living in Jerusalem cared for religion and for earthly possessions in order to enjoy a better life. Therefore, as the capital of Judea, Jerusalem was characterized by religion and culture with its enjoyment of material things. In chapters eleven through fourteen the Lord Jesus was training His followers to live a life of the highest standard of morality so that they might be brought into the full participation of the New Testament jubilee. We have seen that this teaching was given on the way to Jerusalem
5主和门徒在加利利往耶路撒冷去的路上时，祂的心专注于一件事，祂门徒的心却注意另一件事。主的心专注于祂的死，祂要往耶路撒冷去，向那里的宗教和文化死。祂不是往耶路撒冷去有分于那些事。在耶路撒冷，主要向宗教和文化死；祂要向现今的生活和一切属地的产业死。主门徒心里所专注的大不相同。他们认为，他们的夫子要去耶路撒冷得国。这使我们能领会，约翰和雅各（雷子）为甚么求主在祂的国里，让他们一个坐在祂右边，一个坐在祂左边。（可十35～45。）他们的心满了国度的思想。他们的夫子在加利利很成功，他们想，现在是祂往京城耶路撒冷登宝座、得国度的时候了。
5As the Lord and His disciples were on the way from Galilee to Jerusalem, His heart was set on one thing, and the heart of His disciples was set on another thing. The Lord’she art was set on His death. He was going to Jerusalem to die to the religion and culture found there. He was not going to Jerusalem to participate in those things. In Jerusalem the Lord would die to religion and culture; He would die to this present life and all earthly possessions. The Lord’s disciples had something very different on their heart. Their concept was that their Master was going to Jerusalem to receive the kingdom. This enables us to understand why John and James, the sons of thunder, asked the Lord that they might sit with Him on His right and on His left in His kingdom (Mark 10:35-45). Their hearts were full of the thought of the kingdom. Their Master had been a great success in Galilee and now, they thought, was the time for Him to go to the capital, to Jerusalem, to take the throne and receive the kingdom.
6但主心里所想的，是去耶路撒冷受死。主不欣赏宗教或文化同其属地的产业。因此在十二章，路加将一些事例放在一起，为要表明主无心为著耶路撒冷的宗教或属地的产业。警告提防宗教的伪善
6But in the Lord’she art was the thought of going to Jerusalem to die. The Lord did not appreciate either religion or culture with its earthly possessions. Therefore, in chapter twelve Luke puts together certain instances in order to show that the Lord had no heart for religion or for the earthly possessions in Jerusalem. THE WARNING CONCERNING RELIGIOUS HYPOCRISY
7在十二章一节，主警告提防宗教的伪善，『这时，有数万群众聚集，甚至彼此践踏，耶稣开讲，先对门徒说，你们自己要提防法利赛人的酵，就是假冒为善。』主特别吩咐我们提防犹太宗教的假冒为善，因为祂说到『法利赛人的酵，就是假冒为善。』事实上，所有的宗教都导致假冒为善。没有甚么地方比在宗教里有更多的假冒为善。宗教是给假冒为善得势的领域，范围。想想看主耶稣在地上时，犹太宗教里的假冒为善。法利赛人、经学家、律法师中间是多么的假冒为善。在马太二十三章，主宣告假冒为善的人有祸了。在十二章一节这里，主暴露犹太宗教的假冒为善。在十二章一节，我们看见法利赛人宗教的假冒为善就等于酵。在新约里，酵表征败坏的元素。这里主警告我们要提防法利赛人的酵，就是假冒为善。法利赛人虚假，并且虚假到了极点。他们的虚假成了假冒为善，就是犹太宗教里的酵，败坏的元素。主的门徒都是犹太人，他们既都出于犹太的源头，就深深赏识犹太宗教，也非常尊重法利赛人。他们认为法利赛人有崇高的道德。但人救主将近假冒为善的宗教中心耶路撒冷时，就开始向跟从神的人暴露那宗教的假冒为善。所以，祂对门徒说，『要提防法利赛人的酵，就是假冒为善。』
7In 12:1 the Lord gave a warning concerning religious hypocrisy: “At that time, when a crowd of many thousands were gathered together so that they trampled on one another, He began to say to His disciples first, Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.” In particular, the Lord tells us to beware of the hypocrisy of the Jewish religion, for He speaks of “the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.” Actually, all religions lead to hypocrisy. Nowhere is hypocrisy more prevailing than in religion. Religion is a field, a realm, for hypocrisy to prevail. Consider the hypocrisy in the Jewish religion when the Lord Jesus was on earth. What hypocrisy there was among the Pharisees, scribes, and lawyers! In Matthew 23 the Lord pronounced woes upon them for their hypocrisy. Here in 12:1 the Lord exposes the hypocrisy of the Jewish religion. In 12:1 we see that the religious hypocrisy of the Pharisees was equal to leaven. In the New Testament leaven signifies the element of corruption. Here the Lord warns us to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. The Pharisees were false and practiced falsehood to the uttermost. Their falsehood became a hypocrisy that was the leaven, the element of corruption, in the Jewish religion. All of the Lord’s disciples were Jews. Since they all came out of a Jewish source, they had a deep appreciation of the Jewish religion and a high regard for the Pharisees. They thought that the Pharisees were those with a high morality. But as the Man-Savior was approaching Jerusalem, the center of hypocritical religion, He began to expose the hypocrisy of that religion to His followers. Therefore, He said to the disciples, “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.”
8在十二章二至十二节主接著告诉门徒，宗教的假冒为善至终会导致真心、诚实跟从主的人遭受逼迫。宗教的假冒为善总是成为真正跟从耶稣之人遭逼迫的源头。我们今天要在新约的禧年里，就需要提防宗教的假冒为善，因为这假冒为善会成为逼迫的源头。当真正跟从主的人享受禧年时，他们会遭受假冒为善的宗教里假冒为善之人的反对。这反对会发展成逼迫，逼迫真正跟从主耶稣，经历新约禧年的人。
8In 12:2-12 the Lord went on to tell His disciples that the hypocrisy of religion would eventually lead to the persecution of His sincere and honest followers. Religious hypocrisy always becomes a source of persecution to the genuine followers of Jesus. As those who would be in the New Testament jubilee today, we need to beware of the hypocrisy in religion, for this hypocrisy will become a source of persecution. As the genuine followers of the Lord are enjoying the jubilee, they will be opposed by the hypocritical ones in the hypocritical religion. This opposition will develop into persecution, a persecution of the genuine followers of the Lord Jesus who are experiencing the New Testament jubilee.
警告勿贪婪
the warning concerning covetousness
9在十二章十三至三十四节，主给祂的门徒另一种警告，警告他们勿贪婪。路加将这两个警告连续放在一起，是很有意义的。耶路撒冷不仅有宗教假冒为善的危机，还有对物质产业贪婪的危机。路加十二章十三节说，『群众中有一个人对祂说，夫子，请你吩咐我的兄弟同我分产业。』主把握这个机会警告门徒不要贪婪。主首先对那求祂吩咐他的兄弟同他分产业的人说，『人哪，谁立我作你们的审判官，或分家业的人？』（路十二14。）祂接著对众人说，『你们要当心，要自守，免去一切的贪婪；因为人的生命，不在于家业丰富。』（路十二15。）然后主告诉他们十六至二十一节所记载的比喻。我们若在禧年里，有分于新约三一神的产业，就需要提防贪恋属地的产业。我们在神里面的生命，不在于这样的产业，最好是把我们物质的产业处理掉。在三十三节，主说，『要变卖你们的家业，施舍给人；为自己豫备永不旧的钱袋，用不尽的财宝在诸天之上，就是贼不能近，虫不能蛀的地方。』这里的要点是，当我们有分于新约的禧年，我们就不该固守物质的产业，当作属地的财宝。我们需要为自己积蓄财宝在诸天之上。
9In 12:13-34 the Lord gives His disciples another kind of warning, the warning concerning covetousness. Luke places these two warnings together in a significant continuation. In Jerusalem there was not only the peril of religious hypocrisy, but also the peril of the covetousness of material possessions. Luke 12:13 says, “And someone out of the crowd said to Him, Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.” The Lord took this as an opportunity to warn the disciples about covetousness. First the Lord said to the one who requested that He tell the brother to divide the inheritance with him, “Man, who appointed Me a judge or a divider over you?” (v. 14). Then He went on to say to His disciples, “Take heed and guard yourself from all covetousness; for no one’s life is in the abundance of his possessions” (v. 15). Then the Lord told them the parable recorded in verses 16 through 21. If we are in the jubilee, participating in the New Testament inheritance of the Triune God, we need to beware of coveting earthly possessions. Our life in God does not depend upon such possessions. It may be better for us to dispose of our material possessions. In verse 33 the Lord says, “Sell your possessions and give alms; make for yourselves purses which do not become old, an unfailing treasure in the heavens, where a thief does not come near nor even a moth corrupts.” The point here is that as we are participating in the New Testament jubilee, we should not hold on to material possessions as an earthly treasure. We need to lay up treasures for ourselves in the heavens
10在十二章一至三十四节，主以宗教和属地产业警告门徒。祂将近耶路撒冷时，对他们说到这些事。假冒为善与贪婪是两大难处，关系到真正跟从耶稣的人对新约禧年的享受。
10In 12:1-34 the Lord warned the disciples concerning religion and earthly possessions. While He was approaching Jerusalem, He spoke to them concerning these things. Hypocrisy and covetousness are great problems related to the enjoyment of the New Testament jubilee by the genuine followers of Jesus.
论忧虑
A WORD CONCERNING ANXIETY
11从二十二节开始，主嘱咐门徒不要为生命忧虑。『耶稣又对门徒说，所以我告诉你们，不要为生命忧虑，吃甚么，也不要为身体忧虑，穿甚么。因为生命胜于食物，身体胜于衣服。』既然我们在天上的父顾念我们，我们就不需要为衣食忧虑。
11Beginning in verse 22, the Lord charged the disciples not to be anxious concerning their life. “And He said to His disciples, Therefore I say to you, do not be anxious for your life, what you should eat; nor for your body, what you should put on; for the life is more than food, and the body than clothing.” Since our Father in heaven takes care of us, there is no need for us to be anxious about food or clothing
12在二十四节，主说，『你们想乌鸦，牠们既不种，也不收，没有仓，也没有库，神尚且养活牠们。你们比飞鸟贵重多了。』祂还用百合花的例证：『你们想百合花，怎样生长；牠们既不劳苦，也不纺线。但我告诉你们，就是所罗门在他极盛的荣耀里，也没有披戴得像这些花中的一朵。小信的人哪，野地里的草，今天存在，明天就丢在炉里，神尚且这样给牠穿戴，何况你们？』（路十二27～28。）我们不该忧虑，乃该对我们天上的父有信心。在十二章二十一节，主说，『但你们要寻求祂的国，这些就都要加给你们了。』我们应当求神的国，这国实际上就是新约的禧年。我们若寻求禧年，父就要将食物和衣服赐给我们。祂要将这些加给我们。主说，我们的父乐意把国赐给我们。（路十二32。）祂当然绝不会忘记我们的需要。主清楚的说，『你们的父却知道你们需要这一切。』（路十二30。）我们在此是为著禧年，国度，既然父乐意把国赐给我们，祂当然会顾到我们物质的需要。所以，我们不需要担忧或罣虑。五十多年前，主嘱咐我放下工作，全时间事奉祂。当我蒙主呼召，我以天然的方式考虑我的生活。我说，『主阿，我愿意吃树叶，喝山泉，我这样生活就满意了，但是你必须照顾我的妻子儿女。』当然，主没有让我这样生活，祂顾到我和家人的需要。这里的点是说，虽然我们对我们的父没有信心，但父是信实的。
12In verse 24 the Lord says, “Consider the ravens, that they neither sow nor reap, for which there is neither storehouse nor barn; and God nourishes them. How much more valuable are you than the birds!” He also uses the illustration of lilies: “Consider the lilies, how they grow; they do not toil nor even spin; but I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed as one of these. Now if God so clothes the grass in the field, which today is and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, how much more will He clothe you, you of little faith!” (vv. 27-28). Instead of being anxious, we should have faith in our heavenly Father. In 12:31 the Lord says, “However, seek His kingdom, and these things shall be added to you.” We should seek God’skin gdom, which is actually the New Testament jubilee. If we are seeking the jubilee, the Father will give us food and clothing. He will add these things to us. The Lord says that our Father delights to give us the kingdom (v. 32). Certainly He will never forget our need. The Lord clearly says, “Your Father knows that you need these things” (v. 30). We are here for the jubilee, the kingdom, and since the Father delights to give us the kingdom, certainly He will take care of our material needs. Therefore, we do not need to worry or have anxiety. More than fifty years ago, the Lord charged me to give up my job and serve Him full time. When I was called by the Lord, I exercised my natural way of figuring concerning my living. I said, “Lord, I am willing to eat the leaves of the trees and drink water from the springs on the mountains. I am satisfied to live like this, but You must take care of my wife and children.” Of course, the Lord did not allow me to live this way. He took care of my needs and the needs of my family. The point here is that although we may not have faith in our Father, He is faithful
13你们有些人也许想全时间事奉主。你里面深处若有全时间事奉主的倾向，我鼓励你这样作。从你工作的『船』出来，跳进水里，看看你会不会『淹死。』我的经历是，我离开船以后，主并没有让我淹死。起初我告诉主，我是在一条好船里，我说我信靠祂，但我仍然需要船。然而，主吩咐我从船上跳出来。然后我告诉祂，我没有那么大的信心。但这不是我们信心的问题，乃是祂信实的问题。我们都需要蒙拯救，脱离对生命的忧虑。我们不需要为衣食忧虑。这些需要得以应付，是在于神的信实。祂是信实的，我们应当为自己所需要的仰望祂。
13Some of you may have the thought of serving the Lord full time. If you have the inclination deep within to serve the Lord full time, I encourage you to do it. Get out of the “boat” of your job, jump into the water, and see if you will “drown.” My experience was that after I left the boat, the Lord did not let me drown. At first, I told the Lord that I was in a good boat. I said that I trusted in Him but still needed a boat. However, the Lord told me to jump out of the boat. Then I told Him that I didn’th ave that much faith. But it is not a matter of our faith; it is a matter of His faithfulness. We all need to be rescued from the anxiety of life. There is no need for us to be anxious about food and clothing. The meeting of these needs depends on God’s faithfulness. He is faithful, and we should look to Him for what we need
the warning concerning
警告要儆醒并忠信
WATCHFULNESS AND FAITHFULNESS
14我们若要过最高标准道德的生活，有分于新约的禧年，并享受神到极点，就需要接受关于假冒为善、贪婪与忧虑的警告。我们还需要另一个警告─关于儆醒并忠信的警告。我们不该被宗教掳去，或受忧虑打岔。我们该学习儆醒并忠信，就是儆醒并忠信的事奉要回来的主。我们需要仔细留意第三个警告，因为这与我们有分于来世的禧年有关。在新约里，禧年有两个时代：今世，即恩典时代；与来世，即国度时代或千年国。恩典时代的禧年，乃是国度时代之禧年的豫尝。然而，甚至千年国的禧年也不是禧年的全享。禧年的丰满将在新天新地。从这点我们看见新约的禧年有三个阶段：第一阶段在恩典时代，第二阶段在国度时代，第三阶段在新天新地。那时我们要有分于新耶路撒冷永远的禧年。
14If we would live a life of the highest standard of morality to participate in the New Testament jubilee and enjoy God to the uttermost, we need to be warned concerning hypocrisy, covetousness, and anxiety. We also need another warning—the warning concerning watchfulness and faithfulness. We should not be captured by religion or distracted by anxiety. Instead, we should learn to be watchful and faithful, that is, to serve our Lord, who is coming back, with watchfulness and faithfulness. We need to pay careful attention to the third warning, for it concerns our participation in the jubilee in the coming age. In the New Testament the jubilee is of two ages: the present age, the age of grace, and the coming age, the age of the kingdom or the millennium. The jubilee in the age of grace is a foretaste of the jubilee in the age of the kingdom. However, not even the jubilee in the millennium will be the full taste of the jubilee. The fullness of the jubilee will be in the new heaven and the new earth. From this we see there are three stages of the New Testament jubilee: the first stage in the age of grace, the second stage in the age of the kingdom, and the third stage in the new heaven and new earth, when we shall participate in the eternal jubilee in the New Jerusalem
15主耶稣带著彼得、约翰、雅各和其他门徒进入恩典时代禧年的实际。在十二章记载的警告里，指明在来世有进一步的禧年。因此，禧年不仅在现今的恩典时代，也在要来的国度时代。主似乎警告门徒：『你们现在跟从我，可以有分于今世的禧年。但我不在的时候，你们若不儆醒并忠信，就会失去来世的禧年。』在十一章我们没有看见来世的禧年，但在十二章三十五至四十八节，主说到要来国度时代的禧年。许多信徒会失去来世的禧年。我们也许是在今世的禧年里，但我们若不忠信的享受禧年，就会失去来世的禧年。为这缘故，三十五至四十八节警告人不要失去来世的禧年。在禧年里，我们的产业得以恢复。但在我们的产业─我们享受三一神的权利得以恢复以后，我们需要儆醒并忠信。不然，我们又会失去这权利，不是永久的，乃是时代的在要来的国度里失去权利。这就是说，在要来的时代里，我们不能享受禧年里的长子名分，倒要遭受某种管教，如四十七、四十八节的鞭打一辞所指明的。现在我们把十二章约三个警告放在一起─警告宗教的伪善，警告勿贪婪、勿忧虑属地的产业，警告要儆醒并忠信。我们若不提防今天宗教的假冒为善，以及对物质产业的贪婪、忧虑，就不会享受今世的禧年。不仅如此，我们需要看见，我们若在主不在的时候不儆醒并忠信，也许在今世可以享受禧年，在来世却要失去禧年的享受。
15The Lord Jesus was bringing Peter, John, James, and the other disciples into the reality of the jubilee in the age of grace. In the warnings recorded in chapter twelve there is an indication that there will be a further jubilee in the coming age. Hence, the jubilee is not only in this age of grace, but will also be in the coming age of the kingdom. The Lord seemed to be warning the disciples, “You are following Me now, and you may participate in the jubilee in this age. But you will miss the jubilee in the coming age if you are not watchful and faithful while I am absent.” In chapter eleven we did not see anything of the jubilee in the next age. But in 12:35-48 the Lord refers to the jubilee in the coming age of the kingdom. Many believers will miss the jubilee in the next age. We may be in the jubilee in this age, but if we are not faithful in its enjoyment, we will miss the jubilee in the coming age. For this reason, in verses 35 through 38 we have a warning regarding the loss of the jubilee in the coming age. In the jubilee we have the recovery of our inheritance. But after our inheritance, our right to enjoy the Triune God, has been recovered, we need to be watchful and ─ faithful. Otherwise, we may lose this right again, not eternally but dispensationally in the coming kingdom. This means that in the coming age instead of enjoying our birthright in the jubilee, we shall suffer some kind of discipline, as indicated in the words “lashes” and “stripes” in verses 47 and 48. Let us now put together the three warnings in chapter twelve—the warning of the hypocrisy of religion, the warning of covetousness and anxiety over earthly possessions, and the warning about being watchful and faithful. If we do not beware of the hypocrisy in today’s religion and covetousness and anxiety concerning material possessions, we shall not enjoy the jubilee in this age. Furthermore, we need to see that we may enjoy the jubilee in this age, but miss the enjoyment of the jubilee in the next age if we are not watchful and faithful during the Lord’s absence.
16我们要有分于今世的禧年，就需要接受警告，提防宗教的假冒为善以及对属地产业的贪婪、忧虑。我们若留意这两个警告，就会享受今天恩典时代的禧年。但我们在今世享受禧年时，需要在主不在时儆醒并忠信。我们若不儆醒，主回来发现我们没有儆醒并忠信，那么我们就会失去要来禧年的享受。我们要提防宗教的假冒为善，以及使我们担心我们生命─尤其是衣食─的忧虑。我们要提防这些事，使我们能有分于今天的禧年。当我们享受禧年时，我们要儆醒并忠信的完成主的使命。不然主回来的时候，会发现我们不儆醒，不忠信，那么我们就会失去要来国度时代禧年的享受。
16In order for us to participate in the jubilee in this age, we need the warning concerning hypocrisy in religion and covetousness and anxiety concerning possessions. If we heed these two warnings, we shall enjoy the jubilee today in the age of grace. But while we are enjoying the jubilee in the present age, we need to be watchful and faithful during the Lord’s absence. If we are not watchful and the Lord comes back and finds us not being watchful and faithful, then we shall lose the enjoyment of the coming jubilee. Let us beware of hypocrisy in religion and of the anxiety that causes us to worry about our life, especially about food and clothing. Let us beware of these things so that we may participate in the jubilee today. Then as we are enjoying the jubilee, let us be watchful and faithful in carrying out the Lord’s commission. Otherwise, when the Lord comes back, He will find us not watching and not faithful. Then we shall lose the enjoyment of the jubilee in the coming age of the kingdom.
