有分于基督作我们的分

PARTAKING OF CHRIST AS OUR PORTION
1读经：哥林多前书1:2,9;6:17;10:16-17。
1Scripture Reading: 1 Cor. 1:2, 9; 6:17; 10:16-17
在复活里
IN RESURRECTION
2我们的基督是包罗万有的一位。祂是三一神，父、子、灵。祂是成为肉体的神，在地上生活为人三十三年半。藉著祂在十字架上的死，祂把旧造钉在十字架上。祂这样作，就把受造之物带回归向神。基督既在十字架上了结了我们，祂所了结的，祂就在复活里以祂自己来顶替。在复活里，基督成了赐生命的灵。事实上，赐生命的灵就是复活。因此，复活不仅仅是一样东西或一件事─乃是一个活的人位。在约翰十一章二十五节主耶稣说，『我是复活，我是生命。』今天基督这奇妙的人位，就是万有藉祂而造的一位，经过了成肉体、钉十字架并复活的一位，乃是包罗万有、赐生命的灵。这灵是三一神终极完成的彰显。
2Our Christ is the all-inclusive One. He is the Triune God, the Father, the Son, and the Spirit. As God incarnate, He lived as a man on earth for thirty-three and a half years. Through His death on the cross, He crucified the old creation. In so doing, He brought creation back to God. Now that Christ has terminated us on the cross, what He has terminated He is replacing with Himself in resurrection. In resurrection Christ became a life-giving Spirit. Actually, the life- giving Spirit is resurrection. Thus, resurrection is not merely a thing or a matter—it is a living Person. In John 11:25 the Lord Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life.” Today the wonderful Person of Christ, the One through whom all things were created, the One who has passed through incarnation, crucifixion, and resurrection, is the all-inclusive, life-giving Spirit. This Spirit is the ultimate and consummate expression of the Triune God
3若有人问我们，今天我们在那里，我们该说，我们在复活里。复活就是赐生命的灵，赐生命的灵就是基督，基督就是经过过程的三一神。在哥林多前书保罗对付十一个难处。这些难处有六个在前十章论到，五个在后六章论到。前六个难处是分裂、诉讼、乱伦、在吃和婚姻上滥用自由、婚姻本身的难处、并吃祭偶像之物。这一切与人性，与为人生活有关。第二组难处与神行政的范围有关。这五个难处包括作头、主的筵席、属灵的恩赐、复活、和物质的餽送。在对付复活的问题时，保罗说出了奇妙的话。在十五章四十五节他说，末后的亚当成了赐生命的灵。这就是复活。当基督只是末后的亚当时，祂还不在复活里。反之，祂在肉体里，在人性里。但祂藉著死，进入复活。现今在复活里祂不再在肉体里，因祂是赐生命的灵。这赐生命的灵就是复活的实际。
3If someone asks us where we are today, we should say that we are in resurrection. Resurrection is the life- giving Spirit, the life-giving Spirit is Christ, and Christ is the processed Triune God. In the book of 1 Corinthians Paul deals with eleven problems. Six of these problems are covered in the first ten chapters, and five are covered in the last six chapters. The first six problems are division, lawsuits, incest, the abuse of freedom in eating and in marriage, the question of marriage itself, and the eating of sacrifices to idols. All these problems are related to humanity, to human life. The second group of problems involves the realm of God’sad ministration. These five problems involve headship, the Lord’stable, spiritual gifts, resurrection, and the gift of material things. In dealing with the problem of resurrection Paul utters a wonderful word. In 15:45 he says that the last Adam became a life - giving Spirit. This is resurrection. When Christ was simply the last Adam, He was not yet in resurrection. Rather, He was in the flesh, in humanity. But through death He entered into resurrection. Now in resurrection He is no longer in the flesh, for He is the life-giving Spirit. This life- giving Spirit is the reality of resurrection.
4我们在灵里，就是在复活里。复活乃是胜过死的生命。我们若在经历上真在复活里，我们就是新鲜、活泼的，有生命从里面洋溢出来。在这样的情形里，我们好比绿色的植物。活的植物可用作复活的例证。植物若繁茂、开花，我们可以说牠在复活里。但植物若凋谢、枯萎，我们就不能说牠在复活里。同样，我们若是活泼、新鲜的，我们就真在复活里。但我们若是形式、宗教的坐在聚会中，我们必然不在复活里。反之，我们多半仍在坟墓里。
4When we are in the spirit, we are in resurrection. Resurrection is life which overcomes death. If we are truly in resurrection experientially, we are fresh and living, with life bubbling up from within. In such a case, we can be compared to a green plant. A living plant may be used as an illustration of resurrection. If a plant is flourishing and blossoming, we may say that it is in resurrection. But if the plant is withering and dying, we cannot say that it is in resurrection. Likewise, if we are living and fresh, we are truly in resurrection. But if we sit in the meetings in a formal, religious way, we certainly are not in resurrection. On the contrary, for the most part, we are still in the tomb.
保罗对付难处的作法
PAUL’SWAYS OF DEALING WITH PROBLEMS
5我们已经指出，哥林多前书里所论到的前六个难处与为人生活有关。保罗对付这些难处的作法，与今天传道人和牧师所实行的作法很不相同。例如，倘若一对夫妇有难处，与他们的牧师咨商，他不是以宗教的作法，就是以天然的作法对付他们的难处。保罗的作法很深奥，也很难描述。他对付难处的作法在前十章里逐渐的启示出来。保罗的作法是属灵、拔高的。我们可将他的作法比喻为有许多部分连结在一起的炼子。这封书信头一章开始于炼子的一部分，末一章结束于另一部分。保罗开始于一章二节的话，说到基督是他们的，也是我们的。哥林多信徒中间的难处，全由于他们忽略基督是他们独一的分这事实。他们的分不是希腊哲学或属世智慧，乃是保罗所供应包罗万有的基督。这包罗万有的基督是他们的，也是我们的。这就是说，祂是我们独一的分。倘若一对在婚姻生活中有难处的夫妇要来见保罗，他不会以宗教的作法帮助他们。他不会嘱咐丈夫要爱妻子，或妻子要服从丈夫。然而，这是今天牧师所实行的作法。保罗对付属人难处的作法很不相同。他在一章二节说到在基督耶稣里被圣别，蒙召的圣徒，以及所有在各处呼求我们主耶稣基督之名的人；祂是他们的，也是我们的；甚至这些话也与这封书信所论到的难处有关。这一节虽然看来不是保罗处理属人难处之作法的一部分，实际上却包含保罗解决难处所用的属灵丰富。按照这一节，我们基督徒必须领悟，包罗万有的基督是我们的。不但如此，我们是蒙召的圣徒，就是蒙神呼召，以呼求主耶稣基督亲爱、宝贵之名的人。已婚的姊妹若呼求包罗万有之基督的名，她就会真服从自己的丈夫。作妻子的不服从丈夫，原因是她们对包罗万有的基督缺少享受。姊妹们，你们在服从丈夫的事上有难处时，只要呼求主的名。我保证你呼求几次以后，主会摸著你并供应你。自然而然你会成为非常服从的妻子。这是享受基督作你的分的结果。
5We have pointed out that the first six problems covered in 1 Corinthians are related to human living. Paul’s way of dealing with these problems is very different from the way practiced by today’s ministers and pastors. For example, if a married couple has a problem and consults their pastor, he will deal with their problem either in a religious way or in a natural way. Paul’sway is profound and very difficult to describe. His way of dealing with problems is gradually revealed in the first ten chapters. Paul’s way is spiritual and uplifted. We may liken his way to a chain which has many parts linked together. The first chapter of this Epistle begins with one part of the chain, and the last chapter ends with another part. Paul begins with the word in 1:2 concerning Christ being theirs and ours. The problems among the believers at Corinth were all due to the fact that they were neglecting Christ as their unique portion. Their portion was not Greek philosophy or worldly wisdom; it was the all-inclusive Christ ministered by Paul. This all-inclusive Christ is both theirs and ours. This means that He is our unique portion. If a couple having problems in married life were to contact Paul, he would not help them in a religious way. He would not charge the husband to love his wife or the wife to submit to her husband. This, however, is the way practiced by pastors today. Paul’sway of dealing with human problems is very different. Even his word in 1:2 concerning the called saints, those sanctified in Christ Jesus, and those who call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, both theirs and ours, is a word related to the problems covered in this Epistle. Although this verse does not appear to be part of Paul’sway of approaching human problems, it actually contains the spiritual riches used by Paul to solve the problems. According to this verse, we Christians must realize that the all-inclusive Christ is ours. Furthermore, we are called saints, those who have been called by God to call upon the dear and precious name of the Lord Jesus Christ. If a married sister calls on the name of the all-inclusive Christ, she will be truly submissive to her husband. The reason wives are not submissive is that they are short of the enjoyment of the all-inclusive Christ. Sisters, when you have trouble being submissive to your husbands, simply call on the name of the Lord. I assure you that after calling a few times, the Lord will touch you and supply you. Spontaneously you will become a very submissive wife. This is the result of enjoying Christ as your portion.
6历年来，常有姊妹们带著关于婚姻生活的难处到我这里来。许多时候，我不但同情姊妹们，也赞同她们。在我尽职的早年，我的作法与许多牧师的作法相同。我鼓励姊妹们读以弗所五章，并且祷告，若是需要，甚至禁食。许多时候姊妹会回来说，我所题议的无济于事。这时我只能告诉这位姊妹，要受安慰，我会尽力帮助她。事实上，我一点也没有帮助她。逐渐的我知道，婚姻生活中的难处，不是单凭祷告和读经就得以解决。滋养和生命的供应是必需的。我们单由圣经的白纸黑字无法得著滋养，因我们所需要的是活的基督自己。藉著祷读主的话，并藉著呼求主的名，我们就得著所需要的滋养和生命的供应。姊妹这样得著供应，就能解决她所面临丈夫的难处。有时我呼求主耶稣的名，深深被祂摸著，甚至哭泣。然后这种摸著就成为我的滋养、供应和力量。再者，我领悟了藉著呼求主的名，我就能作我凭自己的力量所不能作的事。这是林前一章二节所说的享受基督。我们若在各处呼求主耶稣的名，就会知道基督是我们的，我们就会享受祂。一章九节说，『神是信实的，你们乃是为祂所召，进入了祂儿子我们主耶稣基督的交通。』我们蒙召进入了包罗万有之基督的交通，祂是我们的分。这交通一点不差就是包罗万有之基督那活的人位。这就是说，我们蒙召进入了这人位，并进入了祂的交通。神呼召我们进入了基督，给我们共同有分并享受。
6Over the years sisters have often come to me with problems concerning married life. In many cases I not only sympathized with the sisters, but also agreed with them. In the early years of my ministry I behaved in the same way many pastors do. I encouraged the sisters to read Ephesians 5 and also to pray, even with fasting if necessary. Many times a sister would return to say that what I had suggested did not work. All I could do then was tell the sister to be comforted and that I would try to help her. Actually, I was not any help whatever. Gradually I learned that problems in married life are not solved simply by praying and reading the Bible. Nourishment and life supply are necessary. We cannot receive the nourishment we need simply from the Bible in black and white letters, for what we need is the living Christ Himself. By pray- reading the Word and by calling on the name of the Lord, we receive the needed nourishment and supply. When a sister is supplied in this way, she can find the solution to the problem she faces with her husband. Sometimes when I call on the name of the Lord Jesus, I am deeply touched by Him and even weep. This touch then becomes my nourishment, supply, and strength. Moreover, I have realized that by calling on the name of the Lord, I can do things which I am not able to do in my own strength. This is the enjoyment of Christ according to 1:2. If we call on the name of the Lord Jesus in every place, we shall know that Christ is ours, and we shall enjoy Him. First Corinthians 1:9 says, “God is faithful, through Whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.” We have been called into the fellowship of the all-inclusive Christ as our portion. This fellowship is nothing less than the living Person of the all-inclusive Christ. This means that we have been called into this Person and into His fellowship. God has called us into Christ for our co-participation and enjoyment.
7与主成为一灵我们看过包罗万有的基督是我们的分，并且我们蒙召进入了这位基督的交通。但这位成肉体、钉十架并复活的基督如何能成为我们的分，给我们享受？要明白这点，我们需要来看六章十七节。在这一节保罗宣告：『与主联合的，便是与主成为一灵。』我们蒙召所进入的交通，乃是基督这赐生命的灵。要经历这交通，我们必须与祂成为一灵。在我们的灵里，我们与赐生命的灵是一。
7ONE SPIRIT WITH THE LORD We have seen that the all-inclusive Christ is our portion and that we have been called into the fellowship of this Christ. But how can the incarnated, crucified, and resurrected Christ become our portion for our enjoyment? To understand this we need to consider 6:17. In this verse Paul declares, “He who is joined to the Lord is one spirit.” The fellowship into which we have been called is Christ as the life-giving Spirit. To experience this fellowship we must be one spirit with Him. In our spirit we are one with the life-giving Spirit
8许多年前，我开始在美国尽职时，就强调一个事实，我们相信基督的人，有重生之人的灵，就是由神圣的灵内住之人的灵，并且我们与主成为一灵。许多人听到自己有灵，感到很惊讶。当然，他们知道自己有魂和心，但他们不认识人的灵。所有的基督徒都知道圣灵，却不都领悟自己有人的灵。所有新近进到召会生活里的人，都要领悟自己有由圣灵重生之人的灵，这是很重要的。不但如此，在我们的日常生活中，我们必须运用灵。我们在日常生活中面临难处时，也许凭我们的魂、我们的体、或我们的灵反应。假定一位弟兄经过一天的辛劳，筋疲力竭，下班回家，发觉妻子对他满了抱怨和不悦。这位弟兄可能以三种方式中的一种来反应：第一种方式是很普遍的，就是在魂里反应，尤其是从心思或情感反应。第二种可能是在肉体里出于怒气而反应。第三种可能是这位弟兄运用他重生的灵而反应。所有的信徒都该有一种极其重要的领悟，就是我们的灵已经蒙了重生，并且由包罗万有、赐生命的灵所内住。和妻子有难处的弟兄该运用他的灵，让赐生命的灵引导他。然后他会知道要对妻子说甚么，要怎样行。任何看见弟兄这样生活的人，都会领悟他与一般的丈夫不同。他不是运用他的身体在肉体里反应，或运用他的魂反应，他乃是运用他的灵反应。我们在日常生活中，尤其在婚姻生活和家庭生活中，都需要运用我们的灵。
8When I began the ministry in this country many years ago, I emphasized the fact that we who believe in Christ have a regenerated human spirit, a human spirit indwelt by the divine Spirit, and that we are one spirit with the Lord. Many were surprised to learn that they have a spirit. Of course, they knew that they had a soul and a heart, but they did not know the human spirit. All Christians know of the Holy Spirit, but not all realize that they have a human spirit. It is important that all those who have recently come into the church life realize that they have a human spirit regenerated by the Holy Spirit. Furthermore, in our daily living we must exercise the spirit. When we face problems in our daily living, we may react with our soul, our body, or our spirit. Suppose a brother comes home from work exhausted by the day’s labor. He finds his wife full of complaints and unhappy with him. The brother can respond in one of three ways. The first way, universally common, is for him to react in the soul, especially from the mind or the emotion. A second possibility is for him to react in a physical way out of anger. The third alternative is for this brother to respond by exercising his regenerated spirit. It is vital for all believers to realize that our spirit has been regenerated and is indwelt by the all - inclusive, life - giving Spirit. The brother facing difficulty with his wife should exercise his spirit and allow the life - giving Spirit to guide him. Then he will know what to say to his wife and how to be have. Anyone observing a brother living in such a way will realize that he is different from ordinary husbands. Instead of exercising his body to react physically or exercising his soul, he exercises his spirit. We all need to exercise our spirit in our daily living, especially in our married life and family life.
9因为我们有重生的灵，我们就能经历基督作我们的分，也能经历这位基督的交通。我们的灵若没有藉著那灵重生，并由那灵内住，基督就无法作我们的分，我们也无法在基督的交通里。正如电器若要起作用，就必须有电流；照样，我们若要经历基督作我们的分，并享受祂的交通，也必须在灵里。惟有电流流进电器里，我们才能实际有光、热或冷气。同样，惟有藉著与主成为一灵，我们才能经历祂是包罗万有的一位。因这缘故，保罗告诉我们，与主联合的，便是与主成为一灵。所有相信主耶稣并且爱祂的人，都已经与祂联合。我们在灵里，就真与祂是一。我们有重生的灵，现今基督是那住在我们灵里赐生命的灵。结果，我们与祂成为一灵。何等奇妙！哦，我们都必须领悟，我们与主成为一灵。我们若看见这点，我们就会说，『赞美主，我与祂成为一灵！神给我造了人的灵，我的灵已经由祂所重生。今天包罗万有的基督是赐生命的灵，住在我的灵里。祂与我的灵成为一，我也与祂成为一。』弟兄们常常告诉我，他们无法领会，我如何能在一年又一年的特会和训练中释放这么多篇信息。有些人曾问我，这些成百成千篇的信息是从那里来的。我能见证这些信息来自基督，那包罗万有的一位；祂是那与我的灵调和之赐生命的灵。每当我呼求主耶稣的名，祂就供应我。这是我能释放一篇又一篇信息的原因。惟一的限制是时间和体力，主的供应没有限制。事实上，我越说话，就越能说话。属灵的贮水池是无穷无尽的。水越流出，就越有可流出的。对任何与主成为一灵的人，供应都是无穷无尽的。假若一位弟兄到你这里来抱怨他的妻子。这位弟兄也许说，『主赐给你一个亲切、温柔、忍耐、并可爱的妻子。但我的妻子极难相处。你的妻子若和我的一样，你婚姻生活的情况可能会比我的更糟。我简直无法和我的妻子相处。我怎么办？』要帮助这样一位弟兄，最好的方法不是向他解释事情，或与他争辩。正确的方法也不是教导他，或给他更多道理的观念。他迫切的需要是领悟他与主成为一灵。然而，要帮助在这样情形里的弟兄看见他与主成为一灵，并且他该呼求主的名，并不容易。但你若能帮助这位弟兄领会他与赐生命的灵成为一灵，并能帮助他呼求主，那位弟兄的生活就会彻底翻转过来。
9Because we have a regenerated spirit, we can experience Christ as our portion and also experience the fellowship of this Christ. If our spirit were not regenerated by the Spirit and indwelt by the Spirit, Christ could not be our portion, and we could not be in the fellowship of Christ. Just as electrical appliances must have the flow of electricity if they are to function, so we must be in the spirit if we are to experience Christ as our portion and enjoy His fellowship. Only when the electrical current flows into the appliances can we actually have light, heat, or cool air. Likewise, only by being one spirit with the Lord can we experience Him as the all-inclusive One. For this reason, Paul tells us that he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him. All those who believe in the Lord Jesus and who love Him have been joined to Him. In spirit we are truly one with Him. We have a regenerated spirit, and Christ is now the life-giving Spirit dwelling in our spirit. As a result, we are one spirit with Him. How marvelous! Oh, we all must realize that we are one spirit with the Lord. If we see this, we shall say, “Praise the Lord that I am one spirit with Him! God created me with a human spirit, and my spirit has been regenerated by Him. Today the all-inclusive Christ is the life-giving Spirit dwelling in my spirit. He is one with my spirit, and I am one with Him.” Often brothers have told me that they cannot understand how I am able to give so many messages in conferences and trainings year after year. Some have asked me where these hundreds and even thousands of messages come from. I can testify that these messages come from Christ, the all-inclusive One, who is the life-giving Spirit mingled with my spirit. Whenever I call on the name of the Lord Jesus, He supplies me. This is the reason I am able to give message upon message. The only limitations are time and physical strength. There is no limitation to the Lord’s supply. Actually, the more I speak, the more I am able to speak. The spiritual reservoir is inexhaustible. The more water flows out, the more there is to flow out. For anyone who is one spirit with the Lord the supply is inexhaustible. Suppose a brother comes to you with complaints about his wife. The brother may say, “The Lord has given you a wife who is kind, gentle, patient, and loving. But my wife is extremely difficult to live with. If your wife were like mine, you would probably be in a worse situation than I am concerning married life. I simply have no way to go on with my wife. What shall I do?” The best way to help such a brother is not to explain matters to him or argue with him. Neither is the proper way to teach him, to give him more doctrinal concepts. His urgent need is to realize that he is one spirit with the Lord. However, it is difficult to help a brother in such a situation to see that he is one spirit with the Lord and that he should call on the name of the Lord. But if you can help this brother understand that he is one spirit with the life-giving Spirit, and if you can help him call on the Lord, that brother’s living will be revolutionized
10你若要说服另一位圣徒，他与主成为一灵，你自己必须对与祂成为一灵有充分的经历。当你成了这样一个人，你就会见证，甚至你的妻子得罪你时，你也能运用你的灵，呼求主耶稣的名，并得著祂的供应。离了基督，任何弟兄都不可能成为合式的丈夫，任何姊妹也不可能成为正确的妻子。没有例外。离了基督，我们都是一样。姊妹要作好妻子，弟兄要作好丈夫，是极其困难的。然而，婚姻是神所命定的。所以，婚姻既是神的命定，而要成为正确的丈夫或妻子又这样困难，我们就没有选择，只有经历基督。正如我们许多人能见证的，当我们运用我们的灵，并呼求主的名，我们就享受祂的甜美。有时我们也许哭泣，因为主非常柔细的摸著我们。有时我们也许发出赞美，感谢主给我们最好、最适合的妻子或丈夫。我们若藉著运用灵呼求主的名，我们会立刻领悟，神将最好的配偶赐给了我们。愿我们中间有这种经历的人越过越多。
10If you are to convince another saint that he is one spirit with the Lord, you yourself must have adequate experience of being one spirit with Him. When you have become such a person, you will testify that even when your wife offends you, you are able to exercise your spirit, call on the name of the Lord Jesus, and receive His supply. Apart from Christ, it is not possible for any brother to be an adequate husband or for any sister to be a proper wife. There are no exceptions. Apart from Christ, we are all the same. It is extremely difficult for a sister to be a good wife or for a brother to be a good husband. Nevertheless, marriage is ordained by God. Therefore, since marriage is God’so rd i nation and since it is so difficult to be a proper husband or wife, we have no choice except to experience Christ. As many of us can testify, when we exercise our spirit and call on the name of the Lord, we enjoy His sweetness. At times we may weep because the Lord touches us in a very tender way. At other times praises may burst forth, and we may thank the Lord for giving us the best and most suitable wife or husband. If we call on the name of the Lord by exercising our spirit, we shall immediately realize that God has given us the best mate. May more and more among us have this kind of experience
11基督是他们的，也是我们的，并且我们蒙召进入了这位基督的交通。这交通惟有在灵里进行。赞美主，与祂联合的，便是与祂成为一灵！所以，我们有源头、泉源、和无穷无尽的贮水池。这源头就是基督，经过过程的三一神，包罗万有赐生命的灵。
11Christ is both theirs and ours, and we have been called into the fellowship of this Christ. This fellowship takes place only in the spirit. Praise the Lord that he who is joined to Him is one spirit! Therefore, we have a source, a fountain, and an inexhaustible reservoir. This source is Christ, the processed Triune God, the all-inclusive life-giving Spirit.
藉著吃基督接受祂
TAKING CHRIST BY EATING HIM
12在十章十六节保罗来到另一个重点：『我们所祝福的福杯，岂不是基督之血的交通么？我们所擘开的饼，岂不是基督身体的交通么？』一章九节说到神儿子的交通，但十章十六节说到基督之血和身体的交通。十章十六节的交通比一章九节的交通更实际，因为在十章十六节，基督的血与祂的身体分开，指明我们有可能吃喝祂。然而，在一章九节，神的儿子基督还没有豫备好，给我们藉著吃祂而有分于祂。
12In 10:16 Paul comes to another important point: “The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a fellowship of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not a fellowship of the body of Christ?” First Corinthians 1:9 speaks of the fellowship of the Son, but 10:16 speaks of the fellowship of the body and blood of Christ. The fellowship in 10:16 is more practical than that in 1:9, for in 10:16 Christ’s blood is separate from His body, indicating that it is possible for us to feast on Him. However, in 1:9 Christ as the Son of God is not yet ready for us to partake of by eating Him.
13十章十六节里的交通是实际的，这点可用鸡怎样经过处理给人吃来说明。许多年前在中国，召会中的姊妹们常常送鸡给我们家人。她们的心意是用这只鸡作我们的滋养。鸡是真正的礼物。然而，牠还不是实际可吃的。在鸡能滋养我们以前，牠必须被杀、烹调，然后摆在餐桌上。同样，神的儿子基督要成为我们的筵席，就必须经过过程。在十章十六节我们看见，现今祂的血和祂的身体在桌子上，就是坐席的地方。这指著基督已成为肉体且钉十字架的事实。血与身体分开，指明钉十字架。然而，基督在桌子上，这事实指著祂的复活。所以，在主的筵席上，我们看见基督的成为肉体、钉十字架和复活。基督若没有成为肉体，祂就无法有血和身体。祂若没有钉十字架，祂的血就无法与祂的身体分开。祂若没有复活，祂就无法在筵席上作我们的食物。每当我们来赴主的筵席，看见饼和杯，我们就该说，『主，我何等敬拜你！你是成为肉体的一位，钉十字架的一位，并复活的一位。主，我感谢你，藉著成为肉体，你穿上有血有肉之人的身体。我也感谢你，藉著钉十字架，你的血与你的身体分开。如今在复活，你在桌子上给我们享用。主阿，我赞美你！』在十章里，我们蒙召进入其交通的奇妙者，对我们成为非常实际的。现今我们能藉著吃祂将祂接受到我们里面。在以后的信息里我们会看见，有基督的身体和血的筵席，乃是基督作美地的实际。基督不但有血和身体，祂也就是筵席，这筵席就是美地。
13The practicality of the fellowship in 10:16 may be illustrated by the way a chicken is processed for eating. Years ago in China sisters in the church often gave my family a chicken. Their intention was that this chicken be used for our nourishment. A chicken was a genuine gift. However, it was not yet practical for eating. Before a chicken can nourish us, it must be killed, cooked, and then served on the dining table. In like manner, in order to become our feast, Christ, the Son of God, had to be processed. In 10:16 we see that His blood and His body are now on the table, a place of feasting. This points to the fact that Christ has been incarnated and crucified. The blood separate from the body indicates crucifixion. Nevertheless, the fact that Christ is on the table points to His resurrection. Therefore, on the table we see Christ’sin carnation, crucifixion, and resurrection. If Christ had not been incarnated, He could not have blood and a body. If He had not been crucified, His blood could not be separated from His body. If He had not been resurrected, He could not be on the table as our food. Whenever we come to the Lord’stable and see the bread and cup, we should say, “Lo rd, how I worship You! You are the incarnated One, the crucified One, and the resurrected One. I thank You, Lord, that through incarnation You put on a human body with blood and flesh. I also thank You that through crucifixion Your blood was separated from Your body. Now, in resurrection, You are served to us on the table. O Lord, I praise You!” In chapter ten the wonderful One into whose fellowship we have been called becomes very practical to us. Now we can take Him into us by eating Him. As we shall see in a later message, the table with the body and blood of Christ is the reality of Christ as the good land. Christ not only has blood and a body, but He is also the table, and this table is the good land.
缺少对基督的享受
short of the enjoyment of Christ
14在哥林多前书，保罗不是以宗教或天然、属人的作法对付信徒中间的难处。反之，他对付难处的方法全然与享受基督有关。保罗知道基督徒中间的难处，是因著缺少对基督的享受所引起的。倘若一位弟兄和他的妻子有难处，这就证明他们缺少对基督的享受。他们缺少对基督正确的享受。同样，倘若长老中间，或在地方召会里，或在圣徒中间有难处，这也是对基督缺少享受的标记。
14In 1 Corinthians Paul does not deal with the problems among the believers in a religious way or in a natural, human way. On the contrary, his way of dealing with problems is altogether related to the enjoyment of Christ. Paul knew that problems among Christians are caused by a shortage of the enjoyment of Christ. If a brother and his wife are having problems, this proves that they are short of Christ. They lack the proper enjoyment of Christ. Likewise, if there are problems among the elders, or in a local church, or among the saints, this also is a sign of the shortage of the enjoyment of Christ
15因为保罗领悟哥林多人中间的难处是由于缺少对基督的享受，他就指出基督是他们的分，给他们享受，藉此对付他们的难处。在这封书信，保罗似乎在告诉哥林多人：『你们需要领悟惟有基督是你们的分。你们不该在智慧或哲学里寻找你们的分。神呼召你们进入了基督的交通，祂是你们的分。今天这分就是那灵，并且你们与祂成为一灵。不但如此，基督那成为肉体、钉十字架、并复活的一位，现今在桌子上作筵席陈列给你们，作你们的滋养和享受。你们被邀请享受摆在桌子上给你们的这一位。你们若享受祂作筵席也作美地，就会得著滋养。这样，召会中就不会有难处了。』我们在某些事上有难处，原因是我们缺少对基督的享受。我们若在召会生活或家庭生活中有难处，那是因为我们缺少对基督充分的享受。我们所需要的不是在我们头脑道理的基督，乃是在我们灵里，我们能实际享受并经历的基督。我们若看见，那住在我们灵里，作为赐生命之灵的包罗万有的基督，是我们独一的分，给我们享受，并且我们天天运用我们的灵呼求祂，我们的婚姻生活和召会生活就会被基督充满。结果，我们在婚姻生活或召会生活中，就不会受任何事物搅扰。我们会只在意基督，我们对基督以外的任何事物都没有胃口或爱好。我们会渴慕基督，并且单单渴慕基督，我们也会在主的筵席中吃喝祂。这就是我们在哥林多前书里所看见的启示。
15Because Paul realized that the problems among the Corinthians were due to the lack of the enjoyment of Christ, he dealt with their problems by pointing to Christ as their portion for their enjoyment. In this Epistle it seems as if Paul is telling the Corinthians, “You need to realize that Christ alone is your portion. You should not find your portion in wisdom or philosophy. God has called you into the fellowship of Christ as your portion. Today this portion is the Spirit, and you are one spirit with Him. Furthermore, Christ, the incarnated, crucified, and resurrected One, is now presented to you on the table as a feast for your nourishment and enjoyment. You are invited to enjoy this One served to you on the table. If you enjoy Him as the table and also as the good land, you will be nourished. Then there will be no problems in the church.” The reason we have problems in certain matters is that we are short of the enjoyment of Christ. If we have problems in the church life or in our family life, it is because we lack the adequate enjoyment of Christ. What we need is not a doctrinal Christ in our mentality, but a Christ in our spirit whom we can enjoy and experience in a practical way. If we see that the all-inclusive Christ who indwells our spirit as the life-giving Spirit is our unique portion for our enjoyment, and if we exercise our spirit to call on Him day by day, our married life and church life will be filled with Christ. As a result, we shall not be disturbed by anything in our married life or church life. We shall care only for Christ, and we shall not have the taste or the appetite for anything other than Christ. We shall desire Christ and Christ alone, and we shall feast on Him at the Lord’stable. This is the revelation found in the book of 1 Corinthians
