基督的丰富实化在那灵全备的供应里，那灵全备的供应具体化在神丰富的话里

THE RICHES OF CHRIST REALIZED IN THE BOUNTIFUL SUPPLY OF THE SPIRIT AND THE BOUNTIFUL SUPPLY OF THE SPIRIT EMBODIED IN THE RICH WORD OF GOD

3神的愿望乃是要我们这些已经蒙救赎、得拯救、被血洗净、由那灵重生、并接受神的生命和性情的人活基督。仅仅改良我们的行为或我们的生活标准并不彀。我们需要非常实际的在经历上活基督。
3God’s desire is that we who have been redeemed, saved, washed by the blood, and regenerated by the Spirit, and have received the life and nature of God should live Christ. It is not adequate simply to improve our behavior or the standard of our living. In a way that is very experiential and practical, we need to live Christ
包罗万有并延展无限的基督
THE ALL-INCLUSIVE AND EXTENSIVE CHRIST
4我们要活基督，就必须领悟基督是谁，基督是甚么。我们从歌罗西书看见，基督不但是包罗万有的，也是延展无限的。祂是神的奥秘，也是神经纶的奥秘。基督是神、人、和宇宙中一切正面事物的实际。当然，这不是泛神论。这是照著歌罗西二章十六至十七节，见证基督是一切正面事物的实体、实际。在歌罗西二章十六至十七节保罗说，『所以不拘在饮食上、或在节期、月朔、或安息日方面，都不可让人论断你们，这些原是要来之事的影儿，那实体却属于基督。』照著这两节里所陈明的原则，基督是真正的节日或圣日。基督作我们的节日，乃是我们的安息、喜乐和享受。有基督，每天都是节日。没有祂，每天都是悲惨的。甚至在艰难的时期，我们若有基督作我们的喜乐、享受和安息，我们也可以经历真正的节日。
4In order to live Christ, we must realize who Christ is and what Christ is. From the book of Colossians we have seen that Christ is not only all-inclusive, but also extensive. He is both the mystery of God and the mystery of God’secon o my. Christ is God, man, and the reality of every positive thing in the universe. This, of course, is not pantheism. It is to testify according to Colossians 2:16 and 17 that Christ is the body, the reality, of all positive things. In Colossians 2:16 and 17 Paul says, “Let no one therefore judge you in eating and in drinking or in respect of a feast or of a new moon or of Sabbaths, which are a shadow of things to come, but the body is of Christ.” According to the principle set forth in these verses, Christ is the real holiday, or holy day. As our holiday, Christ is our rest, joy, and enjoyment. With Christ every day is a holiday. Without Him, every day is miserable. Even during difficult times, we may experience a true holiday if we have Christ as our joy, enjoyment, and rest
5基督也是我们的月朔。我们都一再需要月朔所表征的新起头、新开始。基督对我们就是这样的月朔。在我们每天与祂的接触中，我们可以经历月朔，就是新起头。照著歌罗西书这些经文，基督也是我们的饮食和节期。言语无法述尽说竭基督的延展无限和包罗万有。虽然基督是这样的延展无限且包罗万有，但祂是我们的享受和经历，并且我们能活祂。
5Christ is also our new moon. Again and again we all need a new start, a new beginning, as signified by a new moon. Christ is such a new moon to us. Every day in our contact with Him, we may experience a new moon, a new start. According to these verses from Colossians, Christ is also our eating, drinking, and feast. Words cannot exhaust what Christ is in His extensiveness and all-inclusiveness. Although Christ is so extensive and all-inclusive, He is our enjoyment and experience, and we can live Him.
我们的生命和生命的供应
OUR LIFE AND LIFE SUPPLY
6我们和所有的真基督徒一样，相信基督是我们的救赎主和救主。祂是成为肉体的神，并且在地上生活为人三十三年半；然后祂死在十字架上，流出祂的血，洗净我们的罪；现今祂在复活里，乃是我们的救主。我们不只坚信基督是我们的救赎主和救主，并且这样经历祂；我们更看见了，基督也是我们的生命。一面，祂作生命已一次永远的供应我们；另一面，祂继续不断的作生命供应我们。生命需要不断的供应。我们若有生命，却缺少维持生命的凭藉，我们就会丧命。例如，呼吸是生命必需的事。既是这样，呼吸就必须不断进行。我们可以从学校毕业，但我们不能从呼吸毕业，而仍然活著。从生命的事毕业，意思就是死。我们赞美主，基督是我们的救赎主、救主，也是我们的生命和生命的供应！
6Along with all genuine Christians, we believe that Christ is our Redeemer and Savior. He is God incarnate, and He lived on earth as a man for thirty-three and a half years. Then He died on the cross, shedding His blood to cleanse us from our sins. Now He is our Savior in resurrection. Although we emphatically believe that Christ is our Redeemer and Savior and have experienced Him as such, we have come to realize that Christ is also our life. On the one hand, as life He has been supplied once for all; on the other hand, He is supplied to us continually as life. Life requires a continual supply. If we have life but lack the means to maintain it, we shall die. Breathing, for example, is a necessary matter of life. As such, it must go on continually. Although we may graduate from school, we cannot graduate from breathing and remain alive. Graduation from the matters of life can only mean death. We praise the Lord that Christ is our Redeemer, Savior, and also our life and life supply
作神的儿子活基督
LIVING CHRIST AS SONS OF GOD
7我们这些已蒙救赎、得拯救、并得重生的人，有神的生命和性情。何等奇妙，堕落的人竟能宣告，我们有神的生命和性情！我们有神的性情，因为我们已由祂而生。神不但是我们的创造者；祂也是我们的父。『你们看，父赐给我们的是何等的爱，使我们得称为神的儿女，我们也真是祂的儿女。』（约壹三1。）因著对我们的爱，父已将祂的生命和性情分赐给我们。现今我们是神的儿女，有神圣的生命和性情。你知道身为基督徒，你有怎样的身分？你是全能的神的儿子。神真是你的父。你的父亲若是美国总统，你会非常自豪。我们有全能的神作我们的父，更该自豪！我们有权利宣告：『阿利路亚，我们是全能的神的儿子！』
7As those who have been redeemed, saved, and regenerated, we have God’s life and nature. How marvelous that fallen human beings can declare that we have the life and nature of God! We have the nature of God because we have been born of Him. God is not only our Creator; He is also our Father. “Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the children of God” (1 John 3:1, lit.). In His love for us the Father has imparted His life and nature to us. Now we are children of God possessing the divine life and nature. Have you ever realized what kind of status you have as a Christian? You are a son of the almighty God. God is actually your Father. If your father were the President of the United States, you would be very proud. How much more proud we should be of having the almighty God as our Father! We have the right to declare, “Hallelujah, we are sons of the almighty God
8我们是神的儿子，应当活基督，不该活伦理、道德或行为。伦理也许非常好，崇高标准的道德无疑是绝佳的，但这些无法与基督相比。基督徒生活的标准乃是基督自己，不是伦理、道德、或高尚的品格。在腓立比书里，保罗是要使我们对活基督这事有深刻的印象。保罗能说，『在我，活著就是基督。』（腓一21。）他期待无论是生、是死，基督总在他身体上显大。何等的标准！基督徒生活的标准远超过伦理、道德、或任何一种哲学。我再说，基督徒生活的标准乃是基督，我们必须活祂并显大祂。
8As sons of God, we should live Christ, not ethics, morality, or behavior. Ethics may be very good and a high standard of morality is no doubt excellent, but there is no comparison between these things and Christ. The standard of the Christian life is Christ Himself; it is not ethics, morality, or high character. In the book of Philippians Paul wants to impress us with the matter of living Christ. Paul could say, “To me to live is Christ” (1:21). It was his expectation that whether by life or by death, Christ would be magnified in him. What a standard! The standard of the Christian life far exceeds that of ethics, morality, or any kind of philosophy. To repeat, the standard of the Christian life is Christ, and we must live Him and magnify Him.
9基督是保罗的目标，他渴望给人看出他是在基督里面。（三9。）我们也该渴望给别人看出我们是在基督里面。无论我们在那里，我们都该给人看出我们是在基督里面。给人看出我们是在我们天然的生命或文化里，是何等羞耻！但别人若能见证他们看出我们是在基督里面，那是何等美好！我们的目标是基督，我们的标准也是基督。无论我们在那里，我们所遇见的人都该对基督有印象。然后，因著我们活基督，我们就给别人看出我们是在祂里面。我们若活某件事，无疑我们会给人看出我们是在那件事里。例如，我们若活我们的文化，别人就会看出我们是在文化里。同样，我们若时时活基督，我们就会一直给人看出我们是在基督里面。我们若要给人看出我们是在基督里面，我们就必须先活基督。我们青年人、中年人或老年人，都不该天然的活著，而该活基督。哦，活基督并给人看出我们是在祂里面，乃是大事！活基督是抽象、奥秘的。活基督就是奥秘的活著。一面，这种生活是真实、具体的；另一面，这是无法下定义的。别人看出我们是在基督里面，但他们很难描述我们。我们似乎相当奥秘。虽然我们是人，与别人没有很大的不同，但我们就是有点奥秘，甚至特别。基督是奥秘的，活祂的人也是奥秘的。因为基督是抽象、奥秘的，所以到底要如何活祂，就不容易解释。
9Christ was Paul’s goal, and his desire was to be found in Christ (Phil. 3:9). It should also be our desire to be found by others in Christ. Wherever we may be, we should be found in Christ. What a shame to be found in our natural life or in our culture! But how good it is if others could testify of finding us in Christ! Our goal is Christ, and our standard also is Christ. Wherever we are, the people we meet should be impressed with Christ. Then, because we live Christ, we shall be found by others in Him. If we live a certain thing, we shall no doubt be found in that thing. For example, if we live our culture, others will find us in culture. Likewise, if we live Christ all the time, we shall always be found in Christ. If we want to be found in Christ, we must first live Christ. Instead of living in a natural way as a young person, middle-aged person, or elderly person, we should live Christ. Oh, it is a great matter to live Christ and to be found in Him! Living Christ is abstract and mysterious. To live Christ is to live in a mysterious way. On the one hand, this kind of living is real and substantial; on the other hand, it is indefinable. When others find us in Christ, it will be difficult for them to describe us. We shall seem to be quite mysterious. Although as human beings we are not very different from others, there is something mysterious and even special about us. Christ is mysterious, and those who live Him also are mysterious. Because Christ is abstract and mysterious, it is not easy to explain how to live Him
10照著圣经的中心思想，三一神要作我们的生命，而我们需要在祂里面。在马太二十八章十九节，主耶稣嘱咐门徒将信徒浸入三一神的名里，就是浸入父、子、圣灵的名里。将信徒浸入三一神里面，就是将他们放在与父、子、圣灵生机的联结里。
10According to the central thought of the Bible, the Triune God is to be our life, and we need to be in Him. In Matthew 28:19 the Lord Jesus charged the disciples to baptize believers into the name of the Triune God, that is, into the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. To baptize the believers into the Triune God is to place them into an organic union with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
11在我们得救以前，三一神对我们完全是客观的。但藉著救赎、救恩、称义和重生，祂成了主观的。现今我们在祂里面，祂也在我们里面。三一神在我们里面，不但作我们的救赎主和救主，也作我们的生命和生命的供应。神的愿望不是要我们为祂作某些事，乃是要我们与祂成为一灵，并且活祂。活三一神就是活基督。这就是显大基督，荣耀祂，并彰显祂。这是在我们所接触的人眼中显大基督。圣经的中心点乃是与活基督有关。
11Before we were saved, the Triune God was altogether objective to us. But through redemption, salvation, justification, and regeneration, He has become subjective. Now we are in Him, and He is in us. The Triune God is in us to be not only our Redeemer and Savior, but also our life and life supply. God’s desire is not that we do certain things for Him, but that we be one spirit with Him and live Him. To live the Triune God is to live Christ. It is to magnify Christ, to glorify Him, and to express Him. It is to magnify Christ in the eyes of the people with whom we are in contact. The focal point of the Bible is related to living Christ.
圣经与圣灵
THE HOLY BIBLE AND THE HOLY SPIRIT
12活基督虽是奥秘的，却不是奥秘到我们完全无法领会。我们会看见，活基督与基督的丰富实化在那灵全备供应里，以及那灵全备的供应具体化在神丰富的话里，有密切的关系。圣经不但是神的话，也是祂的说话，甚至是祂的呼出。在提后三章十六节保罗说，圣经都是神的呼出。藉著神的说话，藉著祂的呼出，许多奇妙的事就启示出来。
12Although living Christ is mysterious, it is not so mysterious that we cannot understand it at all. As we shall see, living Christ has much to do with the riches of Christ realized in the bountiful supply of the Spirit, and the bountiful supply of the Spirit embodied in the rich Word of God. Not only is the Bible God’sWord; it is also His speaking, even His breathing. In 2 Timothy 3:16 Paul says that all Scripture is God-breathed. By God’s speaking, by His breathing, many wonderful things are revealed
13我们若没有语言，神就无法向我们说话。祂是说的神，藉著我们人的语言向我们说话。语言赐给人，是为著神的说话作豫备。我们赞美主，我们基督徒手中有圣经，我们的灵和心里有圣灵。现今我们需要来看圣灵是甚么，也要看圣经是甚么。
13If we did not have language, there would be no way for God to speak to us. As the speaking God, He speaks to us through our human language. Language was given to man as a preparation for God’s speaking. We praise the Lord that, as Christians, we have both the Holy Bible in our hands and the Holy Spirit in our spirit and heart. Now we need to consider what the Holy Spirit is and also what the Holy Bible is
三一神临到我们
THE TRIUNE GOD REACHING US
14基督徒被问到关于圣灵时，常说那灵是神格的第三个身位。他们指出神格包括三个身位：父、子、灵。虽然说圣灵是神格的第三者乃是正确的，但这领会并不充分。看见父和子完全实化在那灵这神格的第三者里，是非常重要的。这就是说，我们无法将圣灵与子或父分开。神格的三者不但同时并存，也互相内在。因此，父、子、灵中间，有同时并存，也有互相内在。神是三一的；祂是三而一。同时并存，意思是同时一起存在。要说明或领会互相内在，就困难得多。这辞应用于三一神，意思是父、子、圣灵存在彼此里面。圣经清楚启示，子来了，父就与祂同来。同样，灵来了，祂就与子和父同来。不但如此，子来了，父就与子同来，不是外面的，乃是里面的、主观的、在子里与祂同来。
14When Christians are asked about the Holy Spirit, they often say that the Spirit is the third Person of the Godhead. They point out that the Godhead includes three Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Spirit. Although it is true to say that the Holy Spirit is the third of the Godhead, this understanding is not adequate. It is very important to see that the Father and the Son are fully realized in the Spirit as the third of the Godhead. This means that we cannot separate the Holy Spirit from the Son or the Father. The three of the Godhead not only coexist, but They also coinhere. Hence, among the Father, Son, and Spirit there are both coexistence and coinherence. God is triune; He is three-one. Coexistence means to exist together at the same time. Coinherence is much more difficult to define or understand. Applied to the Triune God, this term means that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit exist in one another. The Bible reveals clearly that when the Son came, the Father came with Him. Likewise, when the Spirit comes, He comes with the Son and the Father. Furthermore, when the Son came, the Father came with the Son not in an outward way, but inwardly, subjectively, within the Son.
15关于父与子以及子与灵之间的关系，约翰福音用了一个特别的希腊文介系词，这介系词可译为『从…同…』。（六46，十六27。）子不但从父而来，甚至是从父并同父而来。祂从父而来，也与父同来。这指明子来了，父也来了。父在子里来。所以主能说，『人看见了我，就是看见了父。』（十四9。）祂也能见证：『我在父里面，父在我里面。』（10。）一面，父和子是二；另一面，祂们是一。因为父不但与子同来，也在子里来，所以主耶稣，就是子能说，『我对你们所说的话，不是我从自己说的，乃是住在我里面的父作祂自己的事。』（10。）不但如此，照著圣经，我们若有了子，也就有了父。（约壹二23。）因为父与子同在，甚至在子里面，所以我们接受了子，就接受了父。不仅如此，灵来了，乃是与子和父同来。所以，有了灵，就有了子和父。圣灵是三一神终极完成的临到我们。不要以为圣灵临到你，只有祂这神格的第三者来，而父和子留在天上。有些基督徒有这样的领会。他们不信基督在我们里面，只宣称基督差遣圣灵来作祂在我们里面的代表。这观念全然错误。圣经没有说到那灵在信徒里面代表子。反之，照著圣经，圣灵来，子就同著祂且在祂里面也来了。父也与子和灵同来。这就是说，圣灵临到我们，整个三一神就来了。照著圣经，我们可以说父是源头，子是流道，那灵是水流。何等奇妙，圣灵是三一神终极完成的临到你和我！
15Regarding the relationship between the Father and the Son and between the Son and the Spirit, the Gospel of John uses a particular Greek preposition, a preposition which can be translated “from with” (6:46; 16:27). The Son came not only from the Father, but even from with the Father. He came from the Father and also with Him. This indicates that when the Son came, the Father came also. The Father came in the Son. Therefore the Lord could say, “He who has seen Me has seen the Father” (John 14:9). He could also testify, “I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me” (John 14:10). On the one hand, the Father and the Son are two; on the other hand, They are one. Because the Father came not only with the Son but also in Him, the Son, the Lord Jesus, could say, “The words which I speak to you, I do not speak from Myself; but the Father who abides in Me, He does His works” (John 14:10). Furthermore, according to the Bible, if we have the Son, we have the Father also (1 John 2:23). Because the Father is with the Son and even in Him, we receive the Father when we receive the Son. Moreover, when the Spirit comes, He comes with both the Son and the Father. Therefore, to have the Spirit is to have the Son and the Father. The Holy Spirit is the ultimate and consummate reaching of the Triune God to us. Do not think that when the Holy Spirit reaches you, only He, the third of the Godhead, comes, and that the Father and the Son remain in heaven. Some Christians have such an understanding. Instead of believing that Christ is in us, they claim that Christ sent the Holy Spirit to function as His representative in us. This concept is altogether wrong. The Bible does not speak of the Spirit representing the Son in the believers. On the contrary, according to the Scriptures, when the Holy Spirit comes, the Son comes with Him and in Him. The Father also comes with the Son and the Spirit. This means that when the Holy Spirit comes to us, the entire Triune God comes. According to the Bible, we may say that the Father is the source, the Son is the course, and the Spirit is the flow. How marvelous that the Holy Spirit is the consummate reaching of the Triune God to you and me
由那灵内住
INDWELT BY THE SPIRIT
16我们这些相信基督的人，也许充分的确信圣灵住在我们里面；然而，关于这点，今天基督徒中间非常混乱。有些人坚持，人成了基督徒以后，还必须祷告以接受圣灵。有些人甚至宣称，说方言是接受那灵惟一的标记。照著圣经，我们相信主耶稣，呼求祂的名，并接受祂作我们的救主时，圣灵就进入我们里面。从那时起，我们就有那灵的内住。我们不需要说方言，作我们接受了圣灵的标记。
16As those who believe in Christ, we may have the full assurance that the Holy Spirit dwells within us. However, concerning this there is much confusion among Christians today. Some insist that after a person has become a Christian, he must still pray to receive the Holy Spirit. Some go so far as to claim that speaking in tongues is the unique sign of receiving the Spirit. According to the Bible, when we believed in the Lord Jesus, called on His name, and received Him as our Savior, the Holy Spirit entered into us. From that time onward, we have been indwelt by the Spirit. We do not need to speak in tongues as a sign that we have received the Holy Spirit
17我们接受了圣灵，有一个明确的指标，就是我们呼叫我们的父神时，里面有甜美的感觉。有一天，一个年轻人问倪弟兄关于罗马八章十六节，这节说那灵同我们的灵见证我们是神的儿女。他要得帮助，好领会圣灵同我们的灵这样见证是甚么意思。因著那年轻人已经结婚了，倪弟兄就问他，他称岳父为『爸爸』，与他这样称呼自己的父亲，是否觉得同样的甜美。那年轻人见证在两个情况中，甜美的感觉并不相同。倪弟兄向他指出，他能这样甜美的称自己的父亲为『爸爸』，因为他是父亲生的。然后倪弟兄问他称神为他的父时，里面有没有甜美的感觉。那年轻人确定的说，他的确经历这种甜美。倪弟兄回答：『你确实得救了。你觉得这种甜美，原因是你里面有那灵。现在你有儿子名分的灵。你呼叫父神时所经历的甜美，是你接受了那灵的标记。』无论我们有没有说方言，我们都可确信我们接受了圣灵，现今是神的儿女。
17One definite indicator that we have received the Holy Spirit is that we have a sweet sense within when we call on God our Father. One day a young man asked Brother Nee about Romans 8:16, a verse which says that the Spirit witnesses with our spirit that we are children of God. He wanted help to understand what it means to say that the Holy Spirit witnesses with our spirit in this way. Since that young man was married, Brother Nee asked him if he sensed the same sweetness when he called his father-in-law “Daddy” as he did when he addressed his own father in this way. The young man testified that he did not have the same sense of sweetness in both cases. Brother Nee pointed out to him that he could call his own father “Daddy” in a sweet way because he had been born of him. Brother Nee then asked him if he had a sense of sweetness within when he called God his Father. The young man said with assurance that he did experience this sweetness. Brother Nee replied, “You are certainly saved. The reason you sense this sweetness is that you have the Spirit within. You now have the spirit of sonship. The sweetness you experience when you call on God the Father is a sign that you have received the Spirit.” Whether or not we ever speak in tongues, we may have the assurance that we have received the Holy Spirit and are now children of God
话与灵
THE WORD AND THE SPIRIT
18在新约里我们看见，灵与话是一。主耶稣说，『我对你们所说的话，就是灵，就是生命。』（约六63。）我们不该将我们里面所有的圣灵与我们手中所有的圣经分开。这二者是一个神圣的实际。离了圣灵，圣经是空洞的，全然没有实际。圣经的实际乃是圣灵。然而，我们若没有圣经，圣灵就不会具体化。离了话，就没有那灵的具体化。一面，圣经是那灵的具体化；另一面，那灵是圣经的实际。我们绝不该将二者分开。
18In the New Testament we see that the Spirit and the Word are one. The Lord Jesus said, “The words which I have spoken unto you are spirit and are life” (John 6:63). We should not separate the Holy Spirit whom we have within us from the holy Word which we have in our hands. These two are one divine reality. Apart from the Holy Spirit, the Bible is empty, altogether without reality. The reality of the Bible is the Holy Spirit. However, if we did not have the Bible, we would not have the embodiment of the Holy Spirit. Apart from the Word, there is no embodiment of the Spirit. On the one hand, the Bible is the embodiment of the Spirit; on the other hand, the Spirit is the reality of the Bible. We should never separate the two.
19为著两个美妙的恩赐─里面的圣灵和外面的圣经，我们感谢主。我们看过圣灵是三一神终极完成的临到我们。圣灵临到我们，三一神就与我们同在。然而，那灵是抽象、奥秘的。因此，看见那灵具体化在话里是很重要的。我们若要活基督，就需要经历里面的那灵，并享受外面的话。在我们的经历中，灵与话必须是一。每当我们读圣经的时候，我们也该祷告。这就是祷读主话。藉著祷读，我们运用我们的灵接触圣灵。这样，我们就将圣灵与圣经结合。结果，在我们的经历中，灵与话就是一种享受，这享受就是三一神。
19We thank the Lord for two wonderful gifts, the Holy Spirit within and the Holy Bible without. We have seen that the Holy Spirit is the Triune God reaching us in a consummate way. When the Holy Spirit reaches us, the Triune God is with us. The Spirit, however, is abstract and mysterious. Hence, it is important to see that the Spirit is embodied in the Word. Now if we would live Christ, we need to experience the Spirit within and enjoy the Word without. In our experience, the Spirit and the Word must be one. Whenever we read the Bible, we should also pray. This is to pray-read the Word. By pray-reading, we exercise our spirit to contact the Holy Spirit. In this way, we combine the Holy Spirit with the Holy Bible. As a result, in our experience the Spirit and the Word are one enjoyment, and this enjoyment is the Triune God.
丰满、丰富、供应和话
THE FULLNESS, THE RICHES, THE SUPPLY, AND THE WORD
20新约里四节基本的经文是歌罗西二章九节，以弗所三章八节，腓立比一章十九节，和歌罗西三章十六节。这些经文里有四个重要的辞。第一，在歌罗西二章九节我们看见，神格的丰满有形有体的居住在基督里面。这里要紧的辞是丰满。第二，在以弗所三章八节保罗说，他将基督那追测不尽的丰富，当作福音传扬。保罗的福音就是基督的丰富。这里要紧的事是基督的丰富。第三，在腓立比一章十九节，保罗说到耶稣基督之灵全备的供应。第四，歌罗西三章十六节告诉我们，基督的话该丰丰富富的住在我们里面，安居在我们里面。基督的话丰丰富富的住在我们里面，意思是这话在其丰富里，也以丰富的方式住在我们里面。所以，这四节经文里有丰满、丰富、全备的供应、以及话丰丰富富的住在我们里面。丰满与神格有关，丰富与基督有关，全备的供应与那灵有关，基督的话丰丰富富的住在我们里面与话有关。简单的说，有神格、基督、那灵和话。我极力劝你们，一有机会就祷读这四节经文，享受神格的丰满、基督的丰富、那灵全备的供应、以及丰丰富富住在你们里面的基督的话。丰满、丰富、全备的供应、和话彼此相关。神格的丰满实际上就是基督的丰富，基督的丰富就是那灵全备的供应。就神格说，有丰满；就基督说，丰满成了追测不尽的丰富；就那灵说，丰富成了全备的供应。不但如此，那灵全备的供应具体化在话里。当神的话带著耶稣基督之灵全备的供应住在我们里面时，这话就真正丰丰富富的住在我们里面。
20Four basic verses in the New Testament are Colossians 2:9; Ephesians 3:8; Philippians 1:19; and Colossians 3:16. In these verses we have four strategic terms. First, in Colossians 2:9 we see that the fullness of the Godhead dwells in Christ bodily. Here the crucial term is fullness. Second, in Ephesians 3:8 Paul says that he preaches the unsearchable riches of Christ as the gospel. Paul’s gospel was the riches of Christ. The crucial matter here is the riches of Christ. Third, in Philippians 1:19 Paul speaks of the bountiful supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ. Fourth, Colossians 3:16 tells us that the word of Christ should dwell in us, inhabit us, richly. For the word of Christ to dwell in us richly means that it inhabits us in its riches and also in a rich way. Therefore, in these four verses we have the fullness, the riches, the bountiful supply, and the Word dwelling in us richly. The fullness is related to the Godhead, the riches are related to Christ, the bountiful supply is related to the Spirit, and the word of Christ indwelling us richly is related to the Word. In brief, we have the Godhead, Christ, the Spirit, and the Word. I strongly recommend that at the first opportunity you pray-read these four verses, enjoying the fullness of the Godhead, the riches of Christ, the bountiful supply of the Spirit, and the word of Christ inhabiting you richly. The fullness, the riches, the bountiful supply, and the Word are mutually related. The fullness of the Godhead is actually the riches of Christ, and the riches of Christ are the bountiful supply of the Spirit. With the Godhead, there is the fullness; with Christ, the fullness becomes the unsearchable riches; and with the Spirit, the riches become the bountiful supply. Furthermore, this bountiful supply of the Spirit is embodied in the Word. When the Word of God inhabits us with the bountiful supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, it truly inhabits us richly.
21我年轻的时候，很容易就能背诵许多圣经节。然而，虽然我能背诵约翰三章十六节这样的经文，但这节经文并没有丰丰富富的住在我里面，反而是贫贫穷穷的住在我里面。但现今我能见证，这节经文同著许多其他的经文，带著其中一切的丰富住在我里面。这些经文丰丰富富的住在我里面。每当我默想某些经文，我就对三一神满了享受。今天我的经历与我从前所有的很不相同。那时我能背诵歌罗西二章九节，但我对神格的丰满没有多少享受。但今天我默想这节经文，就有极其丰富的享受。
21When I was young, I could easily recite many Bible verses. However, although I could recite a verse like John 3:16, this verse did not inhabit me in a rich way. On the contrary, it dwelt in me in a poor way. But now I can testify that this verse, along with a great many others, inhabits me with all its riches. It dwells in me richly. Whenever I muse upon certain verses, I am filled with the enjoyment of the Triune God. My experience today is very different from what I used to have. Then I could recite Colossians 2:9, but I did not have much enjoyment of the fullness of the Godhead. But when I muse upon this verse today, the enjoyment is exceedingly rich
被三一神饱和以活基督
PERMEATED WITH THE TRIUNE GOD TO LIVE CHRIST
22要紧的是，我们必须看见：具体化在子里之神格的丰满，成了基督追测不尽的丰富；子基督的丰富实化为那灵全备的供应；这全备的供应现今具体化在话里。我们读主的话，并且祷读这话，就能摸著话的素质和本质：耶稣基督之灵全备的供应。我们若仅仅读主的话而没有祷告，也许只得著客观的知识。但藉著用主的话祷告，我们就摸著那灵。结果，我们享受到那灵全备的供应、基督的丰富、和神格的丰满。现在你也许就能领会，为甚么本篇信息有这样长的题目：『基督的丰富实化在那灵全备的供应里，那灵全备的供应具体化在神丰富的话里。』
22It is crucial for us to see that the fullness of the Godhead embodied in the Son becomes the unsearchable riches of Christ, that the riches of Christ, the Son, are realized as the bountiful supply of the Spirit, and that this bountiful supply is now embodied in the Word. When we read the Word and pray-read it, we can touch the essence and substance of the Word: the bountiful supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ. If we merely read the Word without prayer, we may not get anything more than objective knowledge. But by praying with the Word we touch the Spirit. As a result, we enjoy the bountiful supply of the Spirit, the riches of Christ, and the fullness of the Godhead. Perhaps now you can understand why this message has such a long title: “The Riches of Christ Realized in the Bountiful Supply of the Spirit and the Bountiful Supply of the Spirit Embodied in the Rich Word of God
23我们若要活基督，就需要读主的话，并且祷读这话，使我们有分于神的丰满、基督的丰富、和那灵全备的供应。哦，我们需要被神格的丰满、基督的丰富、和那灵全备的供应浸没且浸透！然后，我们被三一神饱和，就会活基督。我们都需要被那灵全备的供应、基督的丰富、和神格的丰满所饱和。这一切都在话里，也在灵里。因此，我们必须一直来到话这里，并且不住的祷告。藉著祷读主话，我们就会摸著那灵的供应、基督的丰富、和神格的丰满。然后我们会有分于三一神一切的所是，我们就会自然而然的活祂。这就是活基督。
23If we would live Christ, we need to read the Word and pray-read it in such a way that we partake of the fullness of God, the riches of Christ, and the bountiful supply of the Spirit. Oh, we need to be immersed in and saturated with the fullness of the Godhead, the riches of Christ, and the bountiful supply of the Spirit! Then, having been permeated with the Triune God, we shall live Christ. We all need to be permeated with the bountiful supply of the Spirit, the riches of Christ, and the fullness of the Godhead. All this is in the Word and in the Spirit. Thus, we must come to the Word constantly and pray unceasingly. By pray-reading the Word, we shall touch the supply of the Spirit, the riches of Christ, and the fullness of the Godhead. Then we shall partake of all that the Triune God is, and spontaneously we shall live Him. This is to live Christ.
24活基督不是定意在我们的生活方式上有所改变。我们不该说，『现在我知道了活基督的意思。我定意要活祂，并且我祷告，求神帮助我这样作。神阿，帮助我活基督。』这样作不管用。你若这样祷告，就会发觉你祷告以后，立刻继续活自己。活基督的方法是首先被祂同祂一切的丰富所饱和。我们已一再指出，这些丰富是在灵里，也在话里。
24Living Christ is not a matter of making up our mind to have a change in our way of living. We should not say, “Now I have learned what it means to live Christ. I make up my mind to live Him, and I pray that God will help me do this. O God, help me to live Christ.” This way does not work. If you pray like this, you will find that immediately after praying you will continue to live yourself. The way to live Christ is to first be permeated by Him with all His riches. Again and again we have pointed out that these riches are in the Spirit and in the Word
天线与地线
THE ANTENNA AND THE GROUND WIRE
25我们可将那灵全备的供应比作电，藉著天线与地线临到我们。那灵自己像天线，圣经像地线。我们有天线与地线，有灵与话一同起作用，我们就得著那灵全备的供应作属天的电。我们的经历证实这点。我们运用我们的灵祷读一节经文，里面就感觉得著供应、复苏、光照、浇灌、滋养、安慰并加强。这是对神圣之电的享受。要用天线与地线，就是灵与话，你就会得著这全备的供应。
25We may liken the bountiful supply of the Spirit to electricity, which reaches us by means of an antenna and a ground wire. The Spirit Himself is like the antenna, and the Bible is like the ground wire. When we have both the antenna and the ground wire, both the Spirit and the Word, functioning together, we receive the bountiful supply of the Spirit as the heavenly electricity. Our experience testifies of this. When we exercise our spirit to pray- read a verse, we have the sense within of being supplied, refreshed, enlightened, watered, nourished, comforted, and strengthened. This is the enjoyment of the divine electricity. Use the antenna and the ground wire, the Spirit and the Word, and you will receive this bountiful supply
26要明白神的旨意，原则也是一样。明白神旨意的路不是祷告：『主阿，你知道我何等愚昧。给我看见你的路。』这样的祷告不太管用。不要这样祷告，只要享受话与灵，让属天的电带著三一神注入你里面。你接受那灵全备供应的注入，就会自动并自然的清楚神的旨意。你会知道你不该作某些事，因这些不是神的旨意。你也会知道你该作某些其他的事，因这些是神的旨意。你不需要别人告诉你要作甚么。你里面所享受神圣的注入会使你清楚。不但如此，当你浸没在三一神里面，并被耶稣基督之灵全备的供应所饱和时，你就会自然而然活基督。赞美主给我们看见活基督的路！路就是藉著诵读并祷读主话，享受三一神。我们摸著那灵全备的供应时，就会过彰显基督的生活，这生活实际上就是基督自己。
26The principle is the same with coming to know the will of God. The way to know God’s will is not to pray, “O Lord, You know how foolish I am. Show me Your way.” This kind of prayer does not work very well. Instead of praying like this, simply enjoy the Word and the Spirit, allowing the heavenly electricity to infuse you with the Triune God. As you receive the infusion of the bountiful supply of the Spirit, the will of God will become clear to you automatically and spontaneously. You will know that you should not do certain things, for they are not the will of God. You will also know that you should do certain other things, for they are God’s will. You will not need others to tell you what to do. The divine infusion you enjoy inwardly will make you clear. Furthermore, as you are immersed in the Triune God and permeated with the bountiful supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, you will spontaneously live Christ. Praise the Lord for showing us the way to live Christ! The way is to enjoy the Triune God by reading and pray- reading the Word. When we touch the bountiful supply of the Spirit, we shall live a life that expresses Christ, a life which actually is Christ Himself.
