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（十一）
from Galilee To Jerusalem (11
1读经：路加福音14:25-35。路加十四章给我们看见神的救恩，这救恩带给我们今世对禧年的享受。然后这章接著启示来世享受禧年的条件，就是在千年国时进入国度的条件。我们会看见，主在十四章二十五至三十五节论到这事的话是强烈的。
1Scripture Reading: Luke 14:25-35 Luke 14 shows us God’ss alvation, which brings us the enjoyment of the jubilee in this age. Then this chapter goes on to reveal the requirements for the enjoyment of the jubilee in the coming age, that is, the requirements for entering into the kingdom during the millennium. As we shall see, the Lord’sword concerning this in 14:25-35 is strong
恨自己的魂生命
HATING OUR SOUL LIFE
2路加十四章二十五、二十六节说，『有好多群众和耶稣同行，祂转过身来对他们说，人到我这里来，若不恨自己的父亲、母亲、妻子、儿女、弟兄、姊妹，甚至自己的魂生命，就不能作我的门徒。』在二十六至三十三节，主向与祂同行的群众揭示跟从祂的代价。接受救恩就是得救；（路十三23；）跟从主就是享受祂作神救恩的福分。这需要我们舍弃一切，甚至我们的性命，并背起自己的十字架。路十四27，33。）
2Luke 14:25 and 26 say, “Now great crowds were going along with Him, and He turned and said to them, If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, and moreover, his own soul life also, he cannot be My disciple.” In verses 26 through 33 the Lord unveils to the crowds going along with Him the cost of following Him. To receive salvation is to be saved (13:23); to follow the Lord is to enjoy Him as the blessing of God’ss alvation. This requires us to renounce all, even our life, and to carry our own cross (vv. 27, 33
3我们也许认为主耶稣只教导我们要爱，但在二十六节祂教导我们要恨。这不是宗教，这是神经纶里的事。按主这里的话，我们应当恨我们所爱的人，不是恨我们所不爱的人。我们特别需要恨我们自己，就是我们自己的魂生命。我们在自己里所爱的，主要的不是我们的灵或身体，乃是我们的魂。比方说，你上馆子也许不是因为爱你的身体，乃是因为爱你的魂，要享受生活，就是使你的魂有享受。事实上，一切形式的消遣、娱乐、享乐都是为著魂的享受。在十四章二十六节，主清楚的说，我们若不恨自己的魂生命，就不能作祂的门徒。我们已经接受祂的救恩，但我们必须履行二十六节的条件，以接受赏赐。
3We may think that the Lord Jesus teaches us only to love. But in verse 26 He teaches us to hate. This is not religion; this is a matter in God’secon o my. According to the Lord’sword here, we should hate those we love, not those we do not love. Especially we need to hate ourselves, even our own soul life. What we love in ourselves is not mainly our spirit or body but our soul. For example, you may go to a restaurant not because you love your body, but because you love your soul and want to enjoy life, which is to enjoy your soul. Actually, all forms of amusement, entertainment, and pleasures are for the enjoyment of the soul. In 14:26 the Lord clearly says that if we do not hate our own soul life, we cannot be His disciples. We have received God’ss alvation, but we must fulfill the requirement in verse 26 in order to receive the reward
背著我们的十字架
CARRYING OUR CROSS
4在二十七节，主接著说，『凡不背著自己十字架跟从我的，也不能作我的门徒。』十字架的目的不是叫人受苦，乃是将人了结。在基督里的信徒，已经与祂同钉十字架（被了结－加二20，罗六6）。他们藉信与祂有生机的联结以后，就当留在十字架上，将他们的旧人一直留在十字架的了结里。（参罗六3，西二20～21。）这就是背起他们自己的十字架。基督是先背十字架，后钉十字架。（约十九17～。）但在基督里的信徒是先钉十字架，后背十字架，使他们留在旧人的了结里，因而经历并享受基督作他们的生命和生命的供应。
4In verse 27 the Lord goes on to say, “Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after Me, cannot be My disciple.” The aim of the cross is not suffering; it is the termination of the person. The believers in Christ have been crucified (terminated) with Him (Gal. 2:20; Rom. 6:6). After being organically united with Him through faith, they should remain on the cross, keeping their old man in the termination of the cross (Rom. 6:3; Col. 2:20). This is to carry their own cross. Christ carried the cross first and then was crucified (John 19:17-18). But the believers in Him have been crucified first and then carry the cross so 18 that they may remain in the termination of their old man. In this way the believers experience and enjoy Christ as their life and life supply.
5我们需要对这事实有深刻的印象：背著自己的十字架，意思就是留在十字架上，将我们的旧人一直留在十字架的了结里。基督已经把我们钉了十字架，我们信徒已经接受基督，已经与祂有生机的联结。我们既然与基督有生机的联结，就必能有分于祂的钉死。当我们留在这钉死，这了结里，我们就是背著自己的十字架，经历并享受基督作我们的禧年。
5We need to be impressed with the fact that to carry our own cross means that we remain on the cross and keep our old man in the termination of the cross. Christ has already crucified us. As believers, we have received Christ and have been organically united with Him. Since we are organically united with Christ, we certainly can participate in His crucifixion. As we remain in this crucifixion, this termination, we carry our own cross and experience and enjoy Christ as our jubilee
倾倒我们所有的以跟从主
POURING OUT WHAT WE HAVE TO FOLLOW THE LORD
6在二十八至三十节，主接著说，『你们中间谁想要盖一座楼，不先坐下计算花费，能盖成不能？恐怕安了地基，不能完工，看见的人都嘲笑他，说，这个人开始盖造，却不能完工。』这话与二十一节的话指明，在我们跟从主的一生里，需要我们把一切所有和所能的摆上：不然，我们就会失败，变成失味的盐，从荣耀的范围，被扔到羞耻的范围里。（路十四34～35。）
6In verses 28 through 30 the Lord continues, “For which of you, wanting to build a tower, will not first sit down and calculate the cost, whether he has enough to complete it? Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all those looking on will begin to mock him, saying, This man began to build and was not able to finish.” This word and that in verse 31 indicate that to follow the Lord as a career requires us to give all we have and all we can do to it. Otherwise, we shall be a failure and become the tasteless salt to be thrown out of the glorious realm to a sphere of shame (vv. 34-35
7我们不该认为跟从主耶稣是没有意义的事，跟从主应当是我们一生的经历。我们一生既跟从主，就需要把一切所有和所能的摆上。在三十一、三十二节，主说，『或是一个王，去和别的王打仗，岂不先坐下酌量，能用一万人去迎战那领二万人来攻打他的么？若是不能，就趁敌人还远的时候，派特使去求和平的条款。』这例证也与跟从主的代价有关。我们跟从主，需要倾倒我们一切所有的。
7We should not think that following the Lord Jesus is an insignificant matter. Following Him should be a lifelong career. As our career, following the Lord requires that we give all we have and all we can do to it. In verses 31 and 32 the Lord says, “Or what king, going to engage another king in war, will not first sit down and deliberate whether he is able with ten thousand to meet the one coming against him with twenty thousand? Otherwise, while he is yet at a distance, he will send an envoy and ask for the terms of peace.” This illustration is also related to the cost of following the Lord. In following Him, we need to pour out whatever we have.
8在三十三节，主说，『这样，你们每个人，若不舍弃一切所有的，就不能作我的门徒。』问题不是我们有多少，要紧的是，我们跟从主必须倾倒我们的一切。我们要作祂的门徒，就必须舍弃一切所有的。失了味，
8In verse 33 the Lord says, “So therefore, everyone of you who does not renounce all his own possessions cannot be My disciple.” The problem is not how much we have. The crucial matter is that in following the Lord we must pour out whatever we have. In order to be His disciples, we must renounce all our possessions. BECOMING TASTELESS AND BEING THROWN OUT
被扔在神的国外面
OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD
9在十四章三十四、三十五节，主接著说到盐：『盐本是好的，但若是连盐也失了味，可用甚么叫牠再咸？或用在田里，或堆在粪里，都不合式，只好扔在外面。有耳可听的，就应当听。』盐在性质上是一种杀菌防腐的元素。对败坏的地，主耶稣的跟从者应当就是这样的元素，防止地完全败坏。
9In 14:34 and 35 the Lord goes on to speak of salt: “Therefore, salt is good; but if even the salt becomes tasteless, with what will you restore its saltness? It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile; they will throw it out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.” Salt by nature is an element that kills and eliminates the germs of corruption. To the corrupted earth, the followers of the Lord Jesus should be such an element keeping the earth from being fully corrupted
10主指明盐可能会失去味道。主的跟从者失了味，意思就是他们失去了盐的功能。他们变得和属地的人一样，与不信的人毫无分别。在基督里的信徒是地上的盐，为神所用，以消杀地上的腐败。他们的味道，在于他们对属地事物的舍弃。他们舍弃地上的事物越多，味道就越强。他们不愿舍弃今生一切的事物，就会失去味道。若是这样，用在田里就不合式，田表征召会是神的耕地，（林前三9，）带进要来的国度；（启十一；）堆在粪里也不合式，粪堆表征火坑，宇宙中的污秽之地。（启二一，二二15。）他们要从神的国里被扔出去，特别是在千年国时，要从国度的荣耀里被扔出去。他们已经得救，免去了永远的沉沦，但他们没有舍弃属地的事物，失去了他们在神国里的功用；因此他们不适合于要来的国度，需要被撇在一旁受管教。我们已经指出，田表征召会是神的耕地，带进要来的国度，粪堆表征火坑。信徒若失去盐味，就不适合于今天召会生活的田地，更不适合于要来的国度。因此，这样的信徒在千年国时要从神的国里被扔出去。
10The Lord indicates that it is possible for salt to become tasteless. For the followers of the Lord to become tasteless means that they have lost their salting function. They have become the same as earthly people, with no distinction from the unbelievers. Believers in Christ are the salt of the earth used by God to kill and eliminate the earth’s corruption. Their taste depends upon their renouncing of earthly things. The more they renounce the things of the earth, the more powerful will be their taste. They will lose their taste by not being willing to renounce all the things of the present life. If this happens, they will be fit neither for the soil, signifying the church as God’s farm (1 Cor. 3:9) issuing in the coming kingdom (Rev. 11:15), nor for 15 the manure pile, signifying hell, the dirty place in the universe (Rev. 21:8; 22:15). They will be thrown out 8 from the kingdom of God, especially from the glory of the kingdom in the millennium. They have been saved from eternal perdition, but they did not renounce the earthly things and have lost their function in the kingdom of God. Thus, they are not fit for the coming kingdom, but need to be put aside for discipline. We have pointed out that the “soil” refers to the church as God’s farm issuing in the coming kingdom and that the manure pile signifies hell. If the believers lose their salty taste, they will not be fit for the soil of the church life today. Even the more, they will not be fit for the coming kingdom. Therefore, such believers will be cast out from the kingdom of God during the millennium.
11十四章以打破老旧宗教规条的事件开始。（路十四1～6。）在十四章十五至二十四节，主教导神救恩的事。救恩乃是我们接受神的邀请，并领受神一切的供应。我们得救以后，需要保守自己正确且忠信的享受基督。
11Chapter fourteen opens with an incident of the breaking of the old religious regulations (vv. 1-6). In 14:15-24 we have the Lord’ste aching concerning God’ss alvation. Salvation is our receiving God’sin vi tation and our acceptance of whatever He offers. After we have been saved, we need to keep ourselves in the enjoyment of Christ properly and faithfully
恨所有打岔我们
HATING WHAT DISTRACTS US
享受基督的东西
FROM THE ENJOYMENT OF CHRIST
12在十四章二十五至三十五节，主教导如何跟从祂。按祂在二十六节的话，我们需要恨恶所有会阻挠我们或打岔我们正确享受基督的人事物。主的心意不是教导我们恨任何人，祂的心意乃是教导我们恨那些阻挠和打岔，恨一切会打岔我们或使我们不能享受基督的。主当然教导我们爱人。我们不仅应当爱我们的家人，甚至应当爱我们的仇敌。事实上，我们也需要爱我们自己。因此，主教导我们爱每个人。
12In 14:25-35 we have the Lord’ste aching concerning how to follow Him. According to His word in verse 26, we need to hate anything or anyone that would frustrate us or distract us from the proper enjoyment of Christ. It is not the Lord’sin tent i on to teach us to hate anyone. Rather, His intention is to teach us to hate the frustrations and distractions, to hate whatever would distract us or keep us from the enjoyment of Christ. The Lord, of course, teaches us to love others. Not only should we love the members of our family; we should even love our enemies. In fact, we also need to love ourselves. Therefore, the Lord teaches us to love everyone
13那么，为甚么祂在二十六节，表面看来是教导我们恨父亲、母亲、妻子、儿女、弟兄、姊妹，甚至我们自己呢？这里祂这样教导，原因是这种爱时常阻挠我们正确且忠信的享受基督。我们要恨的，应该是阻挠，而不是任何人。主没有教导我们恨人，但祂的确教导我们恨各样的打岔、阻挠、拦阻和障碍。祂教导我们恨一切使我们不能忠信跟从祂的。我们若不恨一切阻挠我们享受基督的，就没有资格享受来世的禧年。
13Why, then, does He in verse 26 apparently teach us to hate our father, mother, wife, children, brothers, sisters, and even ourselves? The reason for His teaching here is that this kind of love often frustrates us from the proper and faithful enjoyment of Christ. What we should hate is the frustration, not any person. The Lord does not teach us to hate persons, but He does teach us to hate the distractions, frustrations, hindrances, and obstacles. He teaches us to hate whatever keeps us from following Him faithfully. If we do not have a hatred for what frustrates our enjoyment of Christ, we shall be disqualified from enjoying the jubilee in the coming age
对忠信信徒的赏赐
A REWARD TO THE FAITHFUL BELIEVERS
14我们不该遵从今天普遍在基督徒中间糖衣的教训，那些教训告诉我们，一旦我们相信了主耶稣，就不会有任何问题。毫无疑问，主的救恩是永远、完整而完全的。我们一旦得救了，就永远得救。关于永远的救恩，我们不会有任何问题。但是在神的经纶里，在祂永远而完全的救恩里，插进一千年的时间，这就是要来国度的一千年，作忠信信徒的赏赐。神在祂的智慧里，插进了这段为期一千年的时代，作为奖励，鼓励祂的儿女忠信的享受基督。祂要我们忠信的享受祂在基督里所给我们的丰富豫备。
14We should not follow the sugar - coated teachings common among today’s Christians which tell us that once we believe in the Lord Jesus we shall not have any problems. No doubt, the Lord’s salvation is eternal, complete, and perfect. Once we have been saved, we are saved eternally. Regarding eternal salvation we shall not have any problems. Nevertheless, in God’secon o my there is an insertion in His eternal and perfect salvation, and this insertion is the thousand year period of the coming kingdom as a reward to the faithful believers. In His wisdom God has inserted this dispensational period of a thousand years as an incentive to encourage His children to enjoy Christ faithfully. He wants us faithfully to enjoy His rich preparation for us in Christ.
15因为我们的父知道祂的儿女也许会顽皮，没有忠信的享受基督，所以祂将祂完全救恩的一部分当作奖励和赏赐。来世千年国的赏赐应当是个奖励，鼓励我们，警告我们，题醒我们，今天要保守自己享受基督，并且在这享受里行事为人。不然，我们就要受管教。这不是说，我们会灭亡，我们会失丧。我们既已永远得救，就永不会灭亡。但是有些父的儿女来世需要受管教。那些来世遭受父管教的儿女，不会不再是祂的儿女。他们当然仍是父的儿女，但他们是需要受管教的儿女。新约里清楚的教导，神对祂儿女时代的管教这件事。
15Because our Father knows that His children may be “naughty” and not faithfully enjoy Christ, He has made part of His full salvation an incentive and a reward. The reward of the millennial kingdom in the coming age should be an incentive to encourage us, warn us, and remind us to keep ourselves in the enjoyment of Christ today and to behave ourselves in this enjoyment. Otherwise, we shall be disciplined. This does not mean that we shall perish, that we shall be lost. Since we have been saved eternally, we shall never perish. Nevertheless, some of the Father’s children will need to suffer discipline during the coming age. Those children who suffer the Father’s discipline in the coming age will not cease to be His children. They will, of course, remain the Father’s children, but they will be children in need of discipline. This matter of God’s dispensational discipline of His children is clearly taught in the New Testament
三个地方
THREE PLACES
16许多基督徒没有看见，十四章三十五节有三个地方─田、粪堆，以及那用在田里，或堆在粪里都不合式之盐所丢弃的地方。真得救却不忠信享受基督的人，或用在田里，或堆在粪里都不合式。那么，这样的信徒将要在那里？按主的话，他要被扔在外面，被摆在一边或外面。在这章里，主耶稣没有将新约别处可找到的细节都说出来。但是有一件事很清楚，就是失了味的盐，或用在田里，或堆在粪里都不合式，却要被扔到第三个地方去。我们已经看见，田表征神的耕地，就是召会，召会将带进要来的国度。粪堆─宇宙中最污秽之地，表征火坑，火湖。当然，没有一个得救的人适合于这样的地方。但是主耶稣回来以后，你适合于甚么地方？你当然不适合于火坑，粪堆，因为主的血已经洗净你，你已经得救了。那么你适合于国度么？你的良心可能不许可你说你适合于国度。倘若这是你的光景，你就不适合于火坑，也不适合于国度。这就是说，你适合于第三个地方，管教的地方。这里主的话清楚而明确的教导这事。
16Many Christians have not seen that in 14:35 there are three places—the soil, the manure pile, and where the salt that is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile is thrown. A person who is truly saved and yet is not faithful in enjoying Christ will be fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile. Where, then, will such a believer be? According to the Lord’sword, he will be thrown out, that is, put aside or outside. In this chapter the Lord Jesus does not give all the details which are found elsewhere in the New Testament. However, it is clear that the salt that has become tasteless is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile, but will be thrown out to a third place. We have seen that the soil signifies God’s farm, which is the church, and the church will issue in the coming kingdom. The manure pile, the dirtiest place in the universe, signifies hell, the lake of fire. To be sure, no saved person would be fit for such a place. But for what place will you be fit after the Lord Jesus comes back? You certainly will not be fit for hell, the manure pile, because the Lord’s blood has washed you and you have been saved. Will you, then, be fit for the kingdom? Your conscience may not allow you to say that you are fit for the kingdom. If this is your situation, you are fit neither for hell nor for the kingdom. This means that you are fit for a third place, a place of discipline. This is clearly and exactly taught here by the Lord’sword
17我们是盐，应当保持我们的味道，腌这个腐败的世界。不论我们在那里，我们都应当消杀世上的腐败。不过，我们有可能失去咸味。倘若这是我们的光景，当主耶稣来时，我们会在那里？我们或在国度里，或在火坑里，都不合式。或用在田里，或堆在粪里都不合式的盐，要被扔在要来国度的荣耀之外。『有耳可听的，就应当听。』（路十四35下。）主在路加十四章的话清楚的启示，除了神的救恩，还有要来国度里的赏赐。救恩是给我们今天享受的，赏赐是给我们来世接受的。接受救恩是无条件的，但接受赏赐是有条件的，就是我们今世要不计代价，忠信的享受基督。不然，我们就没有资格得赏赐。也许我们今天在禧年里，但我们若不履行主所定的条件，我们就会失去来世的禧年。我们需要注意这件事。
17We are salt, and we should keep our taste and salt this corrupted world. Wherever we are we should kill and eliminate the corruption of the world. However, it is possible for us to lose our salting taste. If this is our situation, when the Lord Jesus comes, where shall we be? We shall be fit neither for the kingdom nor for hell. Salt that is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile will be thrown out of the glory of the coming kingdom. “He who has ears to hear, let him hear” (v. 35b). The Lord’sword in Luke 14 clearly reveals that in addition to God’ss alvation there is the reward in the coming kingdom. Salvation is for us to enjoy today; the reward is for us to receive in the next age. There are no terms for receiving salvation, but there is a requirement for receiving the reward, and the requirement is that we enjoy Christ faithfully in this age at any cost. Otherwise, we shall be disqualified from the reward. We may be in the jubilee today, but, if we do not fulfill the requirement set down by the Lord, we shall miss the jubilee in the coming age. We need to be careful concerning this matter
18十四章的内在素质是禧年。禧年与老旧的宗教毫不相干，反而打破宗教的规条。其次，禧年要求我们接受神的邀请，接受祂所供应我们的，使我们可以得救，享受祂丰富的基督。现在我们需要忠信的享受基督。我们今天若不忠信的享受基督，就没有资格享受要来的禧年，就是千年国里的赏赐。
18The intrinsic element of chapter fourteen is the jubilee. The jubilee has nothing to do with the old religion; rather, the jubilee breaks the regulations of religion. Next, the jubilee requires that we accept God’sin vi tation and take what He offers us so that we may be saved to enjoy His rich Christ. Now we need to be faithful in enjoying Christ. If we are not faithful to enjoy Christ today, we shall be disqualified from the coming jubilee, which will be a reward in the millennial kingdom
