将基督表明出来

HOLDING FORTH CHRIST
1读经:腓立比书二章十四至十六节。在本篇信息中,我们要来看腓立比二章十四至十六节。在这几节里,保罗继续说到作成我们自己的救恩。在十二节保罗嘱咐我们要作成自己的救恩,在十三节他告诉我们,神在我们里面运行。现在到了十四节,保罗题出一个警告:『凡所行的,都不要发怨言,起争论。』怨言是出于情感,多半发自姊妹;争论是出于心思,多半起于弟兄。这二者都阻挠我们,使我们不能完成自己的救恩到最完满的
1Scripture Reading: Phil. 2:14-16 In this message we shall consider 2:14-16. These verses continue Paul’sword about working out our salvation. In verse 12 Paul charges us to work out our salvation, and in verse 13 he tells us that God is operating in us. Now in verse 14 Paul issues a warning: “Do all things without murmurings and reasonings.” Murmurings are out of our emotion, mostly on the part of the sisters; reasonings are out of our mind, mostly on the part of the brothers. Both frustrate us from carrying out our salvation to the fullest extent, from experiencing Christ to the uttermost
2地步,也不能经历并享受基督到极点。

3这里的上下文指明,我们若发怨言,起争论,就是不顺从的。顺从神就消杀一切的怨言和争论。我们若要作成自己的救恩,就必须顺从那在我们里面运行的神。祂自己就是我们的救恩;我们顺服祂,就是作成我们的救恩。姊妹们必须领悟,当她们发怨言时,就是不顺从那在她们里面运行的神。同样,弟兄们必须看见,每当他们起争论时,他们就背叛了在他们里面运行的那位。惟有顺从才能治死怨言和争论。保罗在二章十四节论到发怨言、起争论的话,进一步指明,保罗写腓立比书的目的与道理无关,却与经历非常有关。发怨言和起争论是阻挠我们基督徒生活的重要因素。保罗从经历得知,我们若要作成自己的救恩,凡我们所行的,就必须不发怨言,不起争论。我们常常在重大的事情上不发怨言,不起争论,但我们却容易在小事上发怨言,起争论。任何一种的怨言或争论,都是不顺从三一神在我们里面的运行。我们何等需要主拯救我们脱离发怨言和起争论!在十五节保罗继续说,『使你们无可指摘、纯洁无杂,在弯曲悖谬的世代中,作神无瑕疵的儿女;你们在其中好像发光之体显在世界里。』在原文里,『使』的意思是『为要使』。凡我们所行的,都不该发怨言,起争论,为要使我们无可指摘、纯洁无杂,作神无瑕疵的儿女。『纯洁无杂』也可译作简单,不造作,纯真。(太十。)这辞原文字根意为没有搀杂。无可指摘是描述外面的行为,纯洁无杂是描述里面的品格。不造作的意思是不玩政治。玩政治的人绝不能说是纯洁无杂。我们若不造作,就是纯洁无杂、与人无伤的。
3The context indicates that if we murmur or reason, we do not obey. Obedience to God slays all murmurings and reasonings. In order to work out our salvation, we must obey the very God who operates in us. He Himself is our salvation, and our obedience to Him is the working out of our salvation. The sisters need to realize that when they murmur, they disobey the God who works within them. Likewise, the brothers need to see that whenever they reason, they are rebellious against the One who operates in them. Only by obedience can murmurings and reasonings be put to death. Paul’sword in 2:14 about murmurings and reasonings is a further indication that his purpose in writing the book of Philippians was not related to doctrine, but very much related to experience. Murmurings and reasonings are important factors that frustrate our Christian life. From experience Paul knew that if we would work out our salvation, we need to do all things without murmurings and reasonings. Often in important matters we may not murmur or reason. But in small matters we are prone to murmurings and reasonings. Any kind of murmuring or reasoning is disobedience to the inner working of the Triune God. How we need the Lord to save us from our murmurings and reasonings! In verse 1 5 Paul continues, “That you may become blameless and guileless, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world.” The Greek word rendered that means “in order that.” We should do all things without murmurings and reasonings in order that we may become blameless and guileless, children of God without blemish. The Greek word translated guileless also means “simple, artless, innocent; hence, harmless” (Matt. 10:16). It comes from a root which 16 means “unmixed.” The word blameless describes our outward behavior, and the word guileless, our inward character. To be artless means not to play politics. No one who is political can rightly be called guileless. If we are artless, we are also guileless and harmless.
4在腓立比二章十五节保罗题到『在弯曲悖谬的世代中,作神无瑕疵的儿女』。我们这些神的儿女有神的生命和性情。(彼后一4。)我们既是神的儿女,有神圣生命和性情,就是返照太阳(基督)之光的光体。这样,我们就在弯曲悖谬的世代中没有瑕疵。没有瑕疵是无可指摘和纯洁无杂的总和品德。悖谬的原文意弯翘不平,扭曲。毫无疑问,今天的世代是扭曲、弯翘不平的。在这样的世代中,我们应该像发光之体显在世界里。在腓立比二章十六节保罗继续说,『将生命的话表明出来,叫我在基督的日子,好夸我没有空跑,也没有徒劳。』『将…表明出来』,原文也指应用、陈明、供献。将生命的话表明出来,就是藉著活出基督,向世人应用、陈明并供献生命的话。腓立比的信徒若如此行,保罗就能在基督的日子,夸他没有徒劳。基督的日子,就是主再来的日子,又称主的日子(帖前五2,帖后二2,林前一8,林后一14)和那日。(提后一18,四8。)当那日,所有的信徒都要在基督的审判台前显露出来,叫各人受到当得的报应。(林后五10,太二五19~30。)腓立比人如何能彀在基督里在保罗身上夸口;照样,保罗也盼望能彀在基督的日子,在他们身上夸口、欢乐并夸耀。他盼望能彀夸口说,就他们而论,他没有空跑,也没有徒劳。然而,保罗写这封书信时,他担心他可能会空跑徒劳。他的劳苦是否真为徒然,决定于腓立比信徒的行为如何。假如那里的信徒所行的都不发怨言,不起争论,因而无可指摘,纯洁无杂,在弯曲悖谬的世代中,作神无瑕疵的儿女,并且好像发光之体显在世界里,向周围的人陈明生命的话,那么保罗就能在主回来的时候喜乐,甚至夸口。
4In verse 1 5 Paul refers to “children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverted generation.” As children of God, we have God’s life and nature (2 Pet. 1:4). Being children of God with the divine life and nature, we are luminaries which reflect the light of the sun (Christ). As such, we are without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverted generation. “Without blemish” is the total quality of being blameless and guileless. The Greek word translated perverted means “warped or twisted.” There can be no doubt that today’s generation is twisted and warped. In this kind of generation we should shine as lights in the world. In verse 16 Paul goes on to say, “Holding forth the word of life, for my boasting in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain nor labored in vain.” The Greek word for holding forth also means “applying, presenting, offering.” As God’s children, we need to present the word of life to others. If the Philippian believers did this, Paul would be able to boast in the day of Christ that he had not labored in vain. The day of Christ is the day of the Lord’s second coming, also called “the day of the Lord” (1 Thes. 5:2; 2 Thes. 2:2; 1 Cor. 1:8; 2 Cor. 1:14) and “that day” (2 Tim. 1:18; 4:8). In that day all believers will appear before the judgment seat of Christ to receive the reward each deserves (2 Cor. 5:10; Matt. 25:19-30). Just as the Philippians could boast in Paul in Christ, so Paul wanted to be able to boast, rejoice, and glory in them in the day of Christ. He hoped to be able to boast that, as far as they were concerned, he had not run in vain or labored in vain. However, at the time Paul wrote this Epistle, he was concerned that his running and labor might be in vain. Whether or not his labor was actually in vain would be determined by the deeds of the believers in Philippi. Suppose the believers there did all things without murmurings or reasonings and thus became blameless and guileless, children of God without blemish in the midst of a warped and twisted generation. Suppose, moreover, that the saints in Philippi were shining forth as luminaries in the world and presented the word of life to those around them. If such were their situation, Paul would be able to rejoice and even boast at the time of the Lord’s coming back.
壹 活出基督,彰显基督,作成我们的救恩
I. TO LIVE OUT CHRIST, TO EXPRESS CHRIST to work out our salvation
5本篇信息的题目是『将基督表明出来』。将基督表明出来,就是活出基督,彰显基督,并作成我们的救恩。我们已经指出,作成我们的救恩,就是顺从那为著祂的美意,在我们里面运行,使我们立志并行事的三一神。这里有五件重要且彼此相关的事:作成我们的救恩,顺从神,活基督,彰显基督,以及将基督表明出来。基督徒常常说到顺从神;然而,他们对顺从的领会,多半非常肤浅。另外四个辞句─活基督、彰显基督、将基督表明出来,以及作成我们的救恩,都是不寻常的,甚至可以说是非凡的。我们若在交通的谈话里用到这些辞句,对我们会有帮助。当我们彼此交谈时,必须互相勉励活出基督并彰显基督。我们必须彼此题醒,要将基督表明出来,并作成我们的救恩。使用这些辞句能帮助我们将基督服事给人,特别是刚接受主的初信弟兄姊妹。我们不该只以一般、普通的方式谈论福音和救恩。我们必须运用根据保罗对腓立比人所说之话的辞汇,在别人里面激发他们在灵中经历主的渴慕。我们要将这些非凡的属灵辞汇,带进我们日常的交谈、祷告、交通,以及召会聚会的见证中,这是非常重要的。这会使我们的发表更为丰富。但愿我们都接受操练来讲说活出基督、彰显基督、将基督这生命的话表明出来,以及作成自己的救恩这些辞汇。
5The title of this message is “Holding Forth Christ.” To hold forth Christ is to live out Christ, to express Christ, and to work out our salvation. As we have indicated, to work out our salvation is to obey the Triune God who is operating within us both the willing and the working for His good pleasure. Here we have five important, interrelated matters: working out our salvation, obeying God, living Christ, expressing Christ, and holding forth Christ. Christians commonly speak of obeying God. However, in most cases their understanding of obedience is very superficial. The other four expressions—living Christ, expressing Christ, holding forth Christ, and working out our salvation— are unusual and even extraordinary. It would be helpful if we would make such expressions part of our conversation in fellowship. As we speak to one another, we need to encourage one another to live out Christ and express Christ. We need to remind one another to hold forth Christ and to work out our salvation. Using these expressions will help us in ministering Christ to others, especially to young ones who have just received the Lord. We should not merely talk about the gospel and salvation in a common, ordinary way. We need to use expressions based on Paul’sword to the Philippians to stir in others the desire to experience the Lord in their spirit. It is very important that we bring these extraordinary spiritual expressions into our daily conversation, prayer, fellowship, and testimonies in the church meetings. This will serve to enrich our utterance. May we all be exercised to speak of living out Christ, expressing Christ, holding forth Christ as the word of life, and working out our own salvation
贰 凡所行的,都不要发怨言,起争论
II. DOING ALL THINGS without murmurings and reasonings
6我们已经指出,怨言是出于情感,争论是出于心思。此外,发怨言多半是姊妹们中间的难处,起争论多半是弟兄们中间的难处。我们必须一再受保罗在腓立比二章十四节之话的题醒。姊妹们在姊妹之家洗盘子的时候,要记住:不要发怨言。弟兄们在事奉小组和召会生活中处理事务的时候,要记住:凡所行的,都不要起争论。他们不该起争论,只要在召会中事奉主。
6We have pointed out that murmurings issue from the emotion, whereas reasonings proceed from the mind. Furthermore, murmurings are more of a problem among the sisters, and reasonings more among the brothers. Again and again we need to be reminded of Paul’sword in 2:14. When the sisters are washing dishes in the sisters’ house, they should remember not to murmur. As the brothers are taking care of matters in the service groups and the church life, they should remember to do all things without reasonings. They should not reason, but simply serve the Lord in the church.
7参成为无可指摘,纯洁无杂凡我们所行的,若都不发怨言,不起争论,我们就无可指摘,并且与人无伤。能不发怨言,不起争论,真是一件大事!然而,我从未见过不发怨言的姊妹,或不起争论的弟兄。发怨言和起争论的难处特别容易在婚姻生活中发生。例如,丈夫对妻子的爱和关怀若不表示感激,妻子就可能发怨言。有些弟兄已经学会了一个消除妻子怨言的方法,就是说两句简单的话:『对不起』和『谢谢』。说这两句简单的话,能使你的婚姻生活更美满。如果一位弟兄从未对妻子说过『对不起』或『谢谢』,就很容易出现怨言。我们若能成功的消除怨言和争论,我们就是无可指摘、纯洁无杂。
7III. BECOMING BLAMELESS AND GUILELESS If we do all things without murmurings and reasonings, we shall become blameless and harmless. What a great thing it is not to have murmurings and reasonings! However, I have never met a sister who did not murmur or a brother who did not reason. The problem of murmurings and reasonings comes out in particular in married life. For example, a wife may murmur if her husband does not show appreciation of the love and care she has for him. Some brothers have learned that one way to eliminate a wife’s murmuring is to use two simple expressions: “I’m sorry” and “thank you.” Using these simple expressions can make your married life much happier. If a brother never tells his wife that he is sorry or if he never says thank you, there is apt to be murmuring. If we are successful in eliminating murmurings and reasonings, we shall be blameless and guileless
肆 在弯曲悖谬的世代中,作神无瑕疵的儿女
IV. CHILDREN OF GOD WITHOUT BLEMISH in the midst of a crooked and perverted generation
8在二章十五节保罗说,信徒是神的儿女。这含示重生、新生。成为神的儿女意思是我们从神而生,也就是神孕育在我们里面。当我们在灵里从神而生时,我们就与祂调和为一。孕育总是在出生之前。当我们成为神的儿女时,神就孕育在我们全人里面。这比调和更深。然而,我们的话语不足以表达我们和神之间深切的关系;这关系是因著神孕育在我们里面而产生的。祂已经孕育在我们里面,而我们也已经从祂而生,成为祂的儿女。我们既已从神而生,就需要吃喝祂。凡我们所吃、所消化的东西,当然都被我们吸收,并与我们调和。主耶稣说,祂是从天上降下来的粮;又说,吃祂的人,都要因祂活著。(约六50,。)主清楚的将自己比作食物,给我们吃、消化并吸收。那些反对信徒与神调和之教训的人,缺乏正确的认识。他们不明白,我们信主的时候,神就孕育在我们里面,我们也从祂而生。那时候,我们与神,人性和神性,就奇妙的联结在一起。我们得著属灵的出生以后,必须天天吃喝神。三一神乃是我们的食物和饮料。我们真能说,我们所吃的食物,我们所喝的水,不仅与我们联结,更与我们调和。我们无法否认这事实,就是我们所接受并消化的食物和饮料,与我们调和,至终藉著新陈代谢的作用,浸透我们。同样的原则,当我们接受三一神作我们的食物和饮料时,祂就与我们调和,我们也与祂调和。然而我们必须清楚,神和人这样的调和,并不会造成神性与人性的混合或混乱。一面,有真正的调和;另一面,没有混合,也没有混乱。
8In 2:15 Paul says that the believers are children of God. This implies regeneration, the new birth. To be a child of God means that we have been born of God, that God has been conceived within us. When we were born of God in our spirit, we were mingled with Him. Conception always precedes birth. When we became children of God, God was conceived in our very being. This involves even more than mingling. However, we do not have words adequate to express the deep relationship between us and God that has been produced by God’s being conceived within us. He has been conceived within us, and we have been born of Him to become His children. Now that we have been born of God, we need to eat Him and drink Him. To be sure, whatever we eat and digest is assimilated by us and mingled with us. The Lord Jesus said that He is the bread which came down from heaven and also that the ones who eat Him will live because of Him (John 6:50, 57). The Lord clearly likened Himself 57 to food for us to eat, digest, and assimilate. Those who oppose the teaching that believers are mingled with God are short of the proper knowledge. They do not realize that at the time of our conversion, God was conceived within us, and we were born of Him. At that time, we and God, humanity and divinity, were joined in a marvelous way. After our spiritual birth, we need to feed on God day by day. The Triune God is our food and drink. We can truly say that the food we eat and the water we drink are not merely united to us, but also mingled with us. We simply cannot deny the fact that the food and drink we take in and digest are mingled with us and eventually saturate us metabolically. In the same principle, when we take in the Triune God as our food and drink, He is mingled with us, and we are mingled with Him. However, we must be clear that this mingling of God and man does not produce a mixture, or a confusion, of divinity and humanity. On the one hand, there is a genuine mingling; on the other hand, there is no mixture or confusion.
9『神的儿女』含示丰富的意义。这辞含示神已经实际的生在我们里面,并且我们有祂的生命和性情。基督徒常说,『我是个罪人蒙主恩。』虽然这样说没有错,然而,与新约的启示相比,这太肤浅了。我们若认识主话中的真理,就不会说,我们只是个罪人蒙主恩。我们会有把握宣告说,『我是从那灵而生的神的儿女!』你若真看见你是神儿女的异象,你就要充满喜乐、惊奇和赞美。你若是美国总统的儿子,你难道不觉得特别么?你不以你的身分自豪么?神的儿女当然比总统的儿女要大得多了。就正确的意义而言,我们必须以我们是神儿女的身分夸口。毫无疑问,我们是蒙神恩而得救的罪人。但是,因著我们也从神而生,如今我们是祂的儿女。何等美妙!照腓立比二章十五节保罗所说,我们要在弯曲悖谬的世代中,作神无瑕疵的儿女。我们活在其中的世代,乃是一个弯曲、弯翘、扭曲的世代。然而,我们这些神的儿女,必须与众不同。因为我们是神的儿女,我们应当无可指摘、纯洁无杂、没有瑕疵。我们有神的生命,才能成为神的儿女。有神的生命,是何等的奇妙!凡是神的真儿女都必须领悟,他们里面有神的生命。
9The expression “children of God” is very rich in its implications. It implies that God has actually been born into us and that we possess His life and nature. Christians often say, “I’m just a sinner saved by grace.” Although this, of course, is true, it is very shallow compared with the revelation in the New Testament. If we know the truth of the Word, we shall not say we are merely sinners saved by grace. We shall have the assurance to declare, “I’m a child of God born of the Spirit!” If you have truly seen the vision that you are a child of God, you will be filled with joy, wonder, and praise. If you were the son of the President of the United States, would you not have a special feeling? Would you not be proud of your status? Surely to be a child of God is infinitely greater than to be a child of the President. In a proper sense, we need to boast of our status as God’s children. No doubt, we are sinners who have been saved by God’s grace. But because we have also been born of God, we are now His children. How marvelous! According to Paul’sword in 2:15, we are to be children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverted generation. The generation in which we live is crooked, warped, and twisted. We, however, as children of God, must be different. Because we are God’s children, we should be both blameless and guileless, without blemish. We can be children of God only by having the life of God. How marvelous it is to have God’s life! All those who are truly the children of God need to realize that they have the divine life within them
10我们里面神圣的生命要长大。最近,我注意到我家后院所种的一棵棕树,生长、发旺、扩展得非常迅速。这棵树长得很大,几乎令人难以置信。这见证棕树内里的生命有何等的力量,以及这生命有何等的丰富!近来,当我注意看那棵棕树时,我有个感觉,我里面神圣的生命比那棵棕树的生命更有活力。赞美主,我们有神的生命!可悲的是,今天很少基督徒认识这生命,并且凭这生命而活。
10The divine life within us wants to grow. Recently I noticed how much a palm tree planted in my backyard has been growing, thriving, and spreading. It is almost unbelievable how much this tree has grown. What a testimony to the strength of the inner life of the palm tree and to the riches of this life! When I looked at that palm tree recently, I had the sense that the divine life within me is far more energetic than the life of that palm tree. Praise the Lord that we have God’s very life! How sad that few Christians today know of this life and live by it
11我们不只有神的生命,也有神的性情。(彼后一4。)虽然我们无法给神的性情下个完满的定义,但我们知道,我们这些神的儿女有分于神的性情,
11Along with the divine life, we also have the divine nature (2 Pet. 1:4). Although we cannot fully define the divine nature, we know that as God’s children we partake of it and have it within us.
12并且这性情就在我们里面。
12
13各种生物都照著自己的本性活动。凡牠所作的,都是出自牠的本性。例如,桃树结桃子,因为树这样结桃子乃与桃树的本性一致。若有人嘱咐桃树不要结苹果,只要结桃子,就太荒谬了。与这事一样荒谬的是,许多基督徒在原则上也这样作。他们吩咐别人要如何举止,如何改良自己,却忽略了所有的真基督徒,既是神的儿女,就有神圣性情的事实。这性情应当管治我们并引导我们。基督徒生活里的每一件事,都是根据神的性情。我们有神的生命,也有神的性情,这是何等奇妙!
13Every living thing acts according to its own nature. Everything it does comes out of its nature. For example, a peach tree produces peaches because it is in keeping with the nature of a peach tree to do so. It would be absurd for anyone to charge a peach tree not to bring forth apples, but only to produce peaches. As ridiculous as this is, in principle many Christians are doing this very thing. In giving commandments to others to behave in a certain way or to improve themselves, they neglect the fact that as children of God all genuine Christians have the divine nature. This nature should govern and direct us. Everything in the Christian life is according to the nature of God. How wonderful that we have God’s life with His nature
伍 好像发光之体显在世界里
V. SHINING AS LIGHTS IN THE WORLD
14信徒好像发光之体,照耀在这弯曲悖谬世代的世人中间。实际上,我们本身没有光;我们乃是返照基督这太阳之光的光体。基督乃是独一的太阳,而召会是返照祂的月亮。赞美主,我们有光源可以返照!
14As lights, or luminaries, the believers shine among those in this crooked and perverted generation. Actually, we have no light in ourselves; we are luminaries reflecting the light of the sun, Christ. Christ is the unique sun, and the church is the moon reflecting Him. Praise the Lord that we have a source of light to reflect
陆 将生命的话表明出来
VI. HOLDING FORTH THE WORD OF LIFE
15在腓立比二章十六节保罗说到『将生命的话表明出来』。生命的话与死的字句道理大不相同。生命的话是神活的呼出,(提后三16,)是赐人生命的灵。(约六63。)我们有主耶稣作我们的榜样,(腓二6~11,)我们有神在里面运行,(13,)我们是神的儿女,有神的生命和神的性情,(15,)我们是发光之体,有资格返照基督神圣的光,(15,)我们还有生命的话向人表明、陈明出来。何等神圣、丰富的供备!藉此我们足能完成神的救恩到顶点。我们所表明出来的生命的话,实际上就是基督自己。(约一1,14。)为要经历腓立比书所启示的基督,我们必须有基督作我们的榜样,有三一神在我们里面运行;我们必须成为神的儿女,有神的生命和性情;我们还需要作发光之体在合式的地位上返照基督。我们要经历基督,这一切都是必需的。
15In 2:16 Paul speaks of “holding forth the word of life.” The word of life is very different from doctrine in dead letters. The word of life is the living breathing of God (2 Tim. 3:16), the Spirit who gives life (John 6:63). We have the Lord Jesus as our pattern (vv. 6-11), we have God operating in us (v. 13), we are God’s children possessing God’s life and the divine nature (v. 15), we are luminaries qualified to reflect the divine light of Christ (v. 15), and we have the word of life to hold forth, to present to others. What a divine and rich provision! By such we are well able to carry out God’ss alvation to the full extent. The word of life we are holding forth is actually Christ Himself (John 1:1, 4). In order to have the experience of Christ revealed in the book of Philippians, we need to have Christ as our pattern, we need to have the Triune God operating in us, we need to be children of God with the divine life and nature, and we need to be luminaries positioned to reflect Christ. All these matters are necessary for the experience of Christ.
柒 叫使徒在基督的日子可以夸口
VII. FOR THE APOSTLE’S BOASTING in the day of Christ
16我们若将基督这生命的话表明出来,使徒就能在基督的日子,夸他没有空跑,也没有徒劳。这就使使徒的喜乐满足。从腓立比二章一至十六节我们看见,叫使徒喜乐的路,乃是过寻求基督、活基督、彰显基督、并且完满的完成神救恩的生活。因著使徒代表神,所以神看见这种生活也会喜乐。这样,在基督的日子,就是主来的日子,使徒就能彀夸口并欢乐。
16If we hold forth Christ as the word of life, the apostle will be able to boast in the day of Christ that he has not run in vain nor labored in vain. This is to make his joy full. In 2:1-16 we see that the way to make the apostle happy is to have a life of seeking Christ, living Christ, expressing Christ, and carrying out God’ss alvation to its fullest. Because the apostle represents God, God will also be happy to see such a life. Then at the day of Christ, the day of the Lord’s coming, the apostle will be able to boast and rejoice
