圣别的弟兄们与有分于属天呼召者

HOLY BROTHERS AND PARTAKERS OF THE HEAVENLY CALLING
壹 圣别的弟兄们
I. HOLY BROTHERS
1本篇信息我们来到希伯来三章。这一章开头这样说：『所以，有分于属天呼召的圣别弟兄们。』我喜欢这里的两个名称：『圣别弟兄们』和『有分于属天呼召的』。新约其他各卷都没有称我们为圣别的弟兄。这个名称包含两个要点：我们是圣别的，我们也是弟兄。我们不仅是弟兄，更是圣别的弟兄。你敢说你是圣别的弟兄么？希伯来书的著者在写完前二章，把基督和我们的资格一一说明之前，还不能称我们为圣别的弟兄。他乃是到了第三章，才称我们为圣别的弟兄。基督藉著祂的死与复活，使我们成为祂的弟兄。我们原本都是罪人，是被死所害的人，是囚奴，是俘虏。赞美主，祂的死为我们的罪成就了平息，并把我们从死的奴役中释放出来。在祂的复活里，我们被产生为祂的众弟兄。因此我们现在得以称为圣别的弟兄。在二章，我们看见藉著主的复活所产生出来的众弟兄，正在成为圣别的过程中。因此，我们是圣别的弟兄。我们不是仅仅无罪的完全，乃是神圣的圣别。
1In this message we come to Hebrews 3. This chapter opens in this way: “Wherefore, holy brothers, partakers of a heavenly calling.” I like these two titles—holy brothers and partakers of a heavenly calling. No other book in the New Testament calls us holy brothers. The title holy brothers implies two main points—that we are holy and that we are brothers. We are not only brothers but holy brothers. Do you dare to say that you are a holy brother? The writer of this book could not call us holy brothers until he had covered so many of the qualifications concerning both Christ and us in the first two chapters. By the time he reaches the third chapter, he is able to call us holy brothers. Through His death and resurrection Christ has made us His brothers. Originally, we were sinners, death victims, prisoners, and captives. Praise Him that His death has made propitiation for our sins and has released us from the slavery of death. In His resurrection we were produced as His brothers. So now we can be called holy brothers. In chapter two we see that the brothers brought forth in the Lord’s resurrection are in the process of being sanctified. Therefore, we are holy brothers. We are not merely sinlessly perfect; we are divinely holy
2一章九节给我们看见，我们与神的受膏者之间的关系。那一节经文指著基督说，『你的神，用欢乐的油膏你，胜过膏你的同伙。』国语和合本把『同伙』译为『同伴』。同伙比同伴更好。我们可能是同伴，却不一定是同伙；但我们若是同伙，就必定是同伴。在神的经纶里，基督是神所立，完成神计画者，我们乃是基督在神圣权益上的同伙。祂为神所膏，我们也与祂一同分受这膏，好完成神的定旨。基督是神所立的承受者，一章九节告诉我们，这位所立的承受者已经受了膏；受膏乃是确认祂的被设立。首先神设立了祂的儿子，然后又膏了祂。我们是基督的同伙，也都有分于祂的受膏。我们既是神受膏者的同伙，就也都一同有分于祂的受膏。这是福音的一部分，包括在全备的福音里。很多人讲论全备的福音，但全备福音应当包括我们是基督的同伙。这奇妙的一项，是全备福音里不可少的。我们都需要看见，我们乃是基督的同伙，有分于祂的受膏。因此，当我们来到三章一节的时候，凡是作圣别弟兄应有的条件，我们都有了。我们有了地位、资格、实际、生命、性情、源头、和所需的一切。我们现在乃是圣别的弟兄们。
2In 1:9 we see our relationship with God’san o in ted One. That verse, which is addressed to Christ, says, “Yo ur God has anointed You with the oil of exultant joy above Your partners.” The King James Version renders the Greek word for partners as “companions.” But a partner is better than a companion. We may be companions without being partners, but if we are partners, we certainly are companions. In God’secon o my, Christ is the One whom God has appointed to accomplish His plan, and we are Christ’s partners in the divine interest. He was anointed by God, and we share His anointing for the fulfillment of God’s purpose. Christ is the Heir appointed by God, and in 1:9 we see that this appointed Heir has been anointed. The anointing confirms the appointment. Firstly, God appointed the Son and then He anointed Him. As Christ’s partners we all partake of His anointing. We are partners of God’san o in ted One and we share His anointing. This is a part of the gospel. It is included in the full gospel. Many people talk about the full gospel. The full gospel includes our partnership with Christ. This wonderful item is included in the full gospel. We all need to see that we are partners of Christ and that we share in His anointing. Because of this, by the time we reach 3:1, we have all that we need to be holy brothers. We have the standing, the qualifications, the reality, the life, the nature, the source, and all that we need. We are now the holy brothers.
3你若知道自己是这样一位圣别的弟兄，你会怎么样？你还会抽烟么？每当我看见有弟兄抽烟，我整个人觉得往下沉。我会自言自语说，『哦，弟兄，你把你的长子名分贱卖了，比以扫卖得更便宜。』一个圣别的弟兄还会抽烟么？虽然我们没有规条和法令，但我们却有尊荣的身分。我们不仅是圣别的，更是有尊荣的。你应当思想我们的地位；我们乃是神长子的弟兄，是神受膏者的同伙。这不是一件小事。如果你是美国总统的兄弟，你必定感到光荣，也有一些尊荣。但你是谁的弟兄？你乃是神长子的弟兄，是神受膏者的同伙，为著完成神的计画。抽烟乃是对神受膏者的羞辱。圣经的确没有说不可抽烟，新约不是一本律法的书，乃是一本圣别弟兄的书。然而，如果主开启你的眼睛，把全备福音里这奇妙的一项深印在你里面，我信你会变成另一个人。你会向这位大祭司更敞开，使祂能把自己供应到你里面。这会改变你的口味，从此香烟对你就不再有味道了。这样的异象会改变我们的福音传扬。今天所传的福音太低了。我们传福音时，不仅要告诉人说，他们是罪人，已经被定罪，将来要灭亡。我们必须传高品的福音，告诉人说，神正在呼召他们来相信祂的长子，使他们得以成为祂长子的弟兄，甚至成为祂长子的同伙，好完成神永远的计画。今天我们需要传这样的福音。我盼望有些青年弟兄们，有负担去传这种福音。我不要听那种陈腔旧调的传福音，告诉人说他们是罪人，要下地狱。这样传不是错，却太低浅。我们需要传希伯来三章一节的福音，告诉罪人如何得以悔改，而变化成为圣别的弟兄。如果你们青年人传这种福音，必定有许多同学会受吸引。
3If you knew that you were such a holy brother, what would you do? Would you still smoke cigarettes? Whenever I see a brother smoking cigarettes, my whole being goes down. I say to myself, “Oh brother, you have just sold your birthright for a cheaper price than Esau did.” How can a holy brother still smoke cigarettes? Although we have no regulations or legality, we do have our majesty. We are not only holy; we are majestic. Consider our position; we are the brothers of the Firstborn Son of God and we are the partners of God’san o in ted One. This is not a small thing. If you were a brother of the president of the United States, you would be very proud and have a certain amount of majesty. But whose brother are you? You are a brother of the Firstborn Son of God and a partner of God’san o in ted One for the fulfilling of God’s plan. Smoking is an insult to God’s anointed One. Yes, the Bible never says that you should not smoke, and the New Testament is not a book of laws but a book of holy brothers. Nevertheless, I believe that if the Lord would open your eyes and impress you with this marvelous item in the full gospel, you would be another person. You would be more than open for our High Priest to minister Himself into you. This would change your taste. Never again would cigarettes be tasteful to you. Such a vision would change our preaching of the gospel. Today the preaching of the gospel is too low. As we preach the gospel, we should not only tell people that they are sinners, that they are condemned, and that they are going to perish. We have to preach the gospel in a much higher way, telling people that God is calling them to believe in His Firstborn Son that they might become His brothers, even His partners in fulfilling God’s eternal plan. There is the need for such preaching today. I hope that some of the young brothers will be burdened to do this kind of preaching. I do not want to hear the preaching of the gospel with the same old tune that tells people that they are sinners and are going to hell. This is not wrong, but it is too low. We need to preach the gospel from Hebrews 3:1, telling the sinners how they can be converted and transformed into holy brothers. If the young people preach this gospel, many of their schoolmates will be attracted.
4三十九年以前，我还很年轻，曾住在中国故都北平一段时期。那里有一所著名的医院叫协和医院，是由洛克菲勒基金会资助并供应的。那所医院不仅很大，而且具有最高的医疗水准。那里的许多护士都被召会得著，有一些医生也是因著高品福音的传扬而被得著。他们都灵里火热。今天我们需要传这种的福音。因为我看见了一些高品的东西，所以我的负担很重。我盼望别人也能得著较好的东西。我们不该把福音传得那么低。福音的中心和最高点是甚么？难道就是把一个可怜的罪人拉来，为他洒上几滴血，然后送他上天堂么？你以为神的福音就作这么多么？不，神的福音比这个高得太多了。神的福音乃是要使人成为圣别的弟兄。这不是我的观念；这是希伯来书所启示的观念。基督在祂的复活里，使我们众人都成为祂的弟兄；祂又进到我们里面，向我们宣告父。现今，祂是那圣别人的，有资格执行圣别的工作，使我们成为圣别。我们是祂的圣别弟兄和同伙，有分于祂的受膏，好完成神的计画。这些不都是在圣经里么？这些岂不是大喜信息么？世人都需要听见这种大喜的信息。在全国许多著名的大学里，多少有头脑的人，却在人生的意义上徬徨。许多人在自问：『人生的目的何在？毕业以后要怎么办？』大学里没有人能回答他们。我们必须去告诉他们人生的真正意义；去告诉他们，他们能成为神长子的圣别弟兄。如果主迟延回来，我盼望几年之后这种高品福音要有效能的传遍全美各大学。美国、欧洲、和所有先进的国家，都需要听见这种高品而全备的福音传扬，以产生神长子的圣别弟兄们。年轻人若能接受这个负担，到校园去传这种福音，就会得著许多有思想的人，叫他们得著满足。我也盼望读本篇信息的人中，能有许多人与主办交涉，告诉主你愿意接受负担，传扬高品的福音。如果你有负担传扬这高品的福音，我信主会尊重你的传讲。『主阿，我们需要更多青年传福音者，更多传扬这最全备福音的人。』
4More than thirty - nine years ago, when I was still young, I stayed for a while in Peking, the old capital of China. In Peking there was an outstanding hospital that was sponsored and supplied by the Rockefeller Foundation called Peking Union Medical College. It was a great hospital with the highest standard. Many of the nurses who worked in that hospital were caught for the church, and some of the doctors were also caught by the higher preaching of the gospel. They were all on fire. We need this kind of preaching today. I am burdened because I have seen something higher. I want to see people get something better. We should not preach the gospel in a low way. What is the center, the high point of the gospel? Is it to take a poor sinner, sprinkle some drops of blood on him, and send him to heaven? Do you think that God’s gospel only does this much? No, it is much higher than this. God’s gospel is to make people holy brothers. This is not my concept; it is the concept revealed in the book of Hebrews. In His resurrection, Christ has made all of us His brothers and He has come into us to declare the Father to us. Now, as the Sanctifier, He is qualified to perform the sanctifying work that makes us holy. We are His holy brothers and His partners, sharing His anointing for the fulfilling of God’s plan. Is this not in the Bible? Is it not the good news? The world needs to hear these glad tidings. Many thoughtful people in the leading universities throughout the country are wondering about the meaning of human life. So many are asking themselves, “What is the purpose of life? What will happen after my graduation?” No one in the universities can tell them. We must go and tell them the real meaning of life. Go and tell them that they can be the holy brothers of the Firstborn Son of God. If the Lord delays His coming back, I hope that after a few years this kind of preaching will be prevailing in all the universities in the United States. The United States, Europe, and all the leading countries need to hear the higher preaching of such a full gospel, the gospel that produces holy brothers of the Firstborn Son of God. If the young people will take up this burden and go to the campuses preaching this gospel, a good number of thoughtful young people will be caught. They will be satisfied. I hope that many of you reading this message will make a deal with the Lord, telling Him that you are willing to be burdened for the preaching of the high gospel. If you are burdened to preach the high gospel, I believe that the Lord will honor your preaching. “Lord, we need more young preachers, more preachers of the fullest gospel!”
5在我们讲下去之前，我愿意与青年人有些交通。我已经完全被主夺取，我知道我在这里作的是甚么。我看见了异象，宇宙中再也没有比这更高的东西。我是在作人类中间最荣耀的工作，你们也要作同样的事。这就是为甚么我不在乎百货公司，那些东西太低下了。我绝不会拿我手中所有的，来换世上任何的东西。我所有的，实在太高超，太荣耀了！现今的世界需要一班人兴起，去广传这最高品、最全备的福音。
5Before we go on, I would like to have some fellowship with the young people. I have been fully captured by the Lord and I know what I am doing here. I have seen the vision. In the whole universe there is nothing higher than this. I am doing the most glorious work among the humankind, and you all must do the same thing. This is why I do not care for the department stores—they are too low. I would never trade what I have in my hands for anything in the world. What I have is too high and too glorious. Today’s world needs a crusade with the preaching of the highest and fullest gospel.
一 是救恩的承受者
A. Heirs of Salvation
6圣别的弟兄也是救恩的承受者，（一，）来承受『这么大的救恩』。（二。）这救恩不仅使我们成为圣别的弟兄，有分于神的圣别，也要领我们进
6The holy brothers are the heirs of salvation (1:14) who inherit “so great a salvation” (2:3) that does not only 14 make us holy brothers to participate in God’s holiness, 3 but also brings us into God’s glory.
7神的荣耀里去。
7
二 是被立之承受者的同伙
B. Partners of the Appointed Heir
8圣别的弟兄也是神所立之承受者的同伙。（一9，2。）神的儿子乃是神所立的承受者，要承受万有。这位承受者被神所立，乃是要完成神永远的计画。圣别的弟兄们就是这位承受者的同伙。
8The holy brothers are also the partners of God’sap pointed Heir (1:9, 2). God’sS on is God’sap pointed Heir to inherit all things. This Heir has been anointed by God for the fulfilling of His eternal plan. The holy brothers have a partnership with such a One
三 是创始者的跟从者
C. Followers of the Captain
9圣别的弟兄们也是救恩创始者的跟从者。（二10。）救恩的创始者（元帅）是神的长子，开拓了进入神荣耀的路。圣别的弟兄们是这位创始者的跟从者，要被领进神的荣耀里。
9The holy brothers are also the followers of the Captain of salvation (2:10). The Captain of salvation is the Firstborn Son of God who has pioneered the way into God’s glory. The holy brothers are the followers of such a Captain to be brought into the divine glory
四 是神的长子的众弟兄
D. Brothers of the Firstborn Son of God
10不仅如此，圣别的弟兄们也是神长子的众弟兄。在前面有一篇信息中，我们看见基督是神的长子，兼有神性与人性。圣别的弟兄们乃是由神圣生命所重生的人，他们是基督的众弟兄，有人性也有神性，在生命和性情上与基督一样。
10Furthermore, the holy brothers are the brothers of the Firstborn Son of God. Christ is the Firstborn Son of God with both divinity and humanity as we have seen in one of the previous messages. The holy brothers, as human beings being regenerated with the divine life, are the brothers of Christ with humanity and divinity. They are the same as Christ in both life and nature
五 是复活里的召会
E. The Church in Resurrection
11最后，圣别的弟兄们乃是复活里的召会。（二12。）以个人说，他们是基督的众弟兄；以团体说，他们是召会，基督的身体。这完全是在复活里的事。在基督复活以前，召会尚未存在。召会乃是藉著基督的复活，才产生出来，由基督的众弟兄所组成。所以乃是在复活之后，基督的众弟兄─召会─才产生出来。今天，在主恢复里的召会，必须是在复活里的召会。
11Ultimately, the holy brothers are the church in resurrection (2:12). Individually they are the brothers of Christ; corporately they are the church, the Body of Christ. This is absolutely a matter in resurrection. Before the resurrection of Christ, the church did not exist. It was through Christ’s resurrection that the church came into being, composed of Christ’s brothers. This was why after His resurrection the brothers of Christ, the church, were produced. Today the church in the Lord’s recovery must be the church in resurrection.
六 因著并藉著神子与人子得以圣别
F. Sanctified by and with the Son of God and the Son of Man
12圣别的弟兄们是因著并藉著神子与人子得以圣别的。（二11。）那圣别人的是神子与人子。我们在第十一篇信息里已经看过，我们彀资格得以有分于神圣的圣别。神圣的圣别就是神的圣别性情。圣别是神的性情。基督是那圣别人的，如今不断把神的圣别性情分赐到我们里面，使我们在性情上得以圣别。我常用茶水来作比喻，把茶叶放进一杯白开水里，不久后白开水就变成茶水了。所以把水变成茶水的方法就是把茶的成分加在水里，直到水被茶的成分饱和并充满。这样，水就得以成为茶水，有茶的色香味；这就是得以『茶化』了。我们就是一杯白开水，基督是神圣性情中圣别的素质；基督把祂自己放在我们里面（如同茶放进白开水中），充满并浸透我们，直到我们完全被祂圣别的性情所圣化。这就是得以圣别。
12The holy brothers are being sanctified by and with the Son of God and the Son of Man (2:11). The Sanctifier is the Son of God and the Son of Man. As we have seen in message eleven, we have been made qualified to be partakers of the divine holiness. The divine holiness is simply the holy nature of God. Holiness is God’s nature. As the Sanctifier, Christ is now sanctifying us dispositionally by imparting God’sho ly nature into our being. I have often used the illustration of teaification. A glass of plain water is teaified by putting tea into it until the water is completely teaified. The way to teaify the water is to add the element of tea to the water until the water is saturated and permeated. Then all of the water will be teaified and will have the appearance, color, taste, and flavor of tea. This is teaification. We are the glass of plain water, and Christ is the very essence of the divine holiness, the divine nature. Christ has put Himself into us, the glass of plain water, to permeate and saturate us until we are fully sanctified with His holy nature. This is sanctification
七 有分于神圣的圣别
G. Partakers of the Divine Holiness
13圣别的弟兄们也有分于神圣的圣别。（十二10。）我们有分于神圣的圣别，一点不差就是有分于神的圣别性情。我们在得以圣别的过程中，就是浸透在神这圣别的性情里。我们藉著这样的浸透，就有分于神圣的圣别。
13The holy brothers are also partakers of the divine holiness (12:10). We are partakers of the divine holiness that is nothing less than the holy nature of God. When we are being sanctified, we are saturated into this holy nature of God. It is by this saturating way that we partake of the divine holiness
八 追求圣别
H. Pursuing Holiness
14我们既是圣别的弟兄，就必须追求圣别。（14。）一面，我们藉著基督的血得以圣别；（十29；）另一面，我们得了重生，有分于神的圣别性情。（彼后一4。）我们既是这样得了圣别的人，就当在日常生活中追求圣别。非圣别没有人能见主。非圣别，我们也不能维持与主的交通。我们需要过圣别的生活，好不断的与主交通，得以时刻见祂的面。
14As holy brothers, we have to pursue holiness (12:14). On the one hand, we have been sanctified by the blood of Christ (10:29); on the other hand we have been regenerated with the holy nature of God (2 Pet. 1:4). Now as such sanctified holy ones, we should pursue holiness in our daily walk. Without holiness we shall not see the Lord. Without it, our fellowship with the Lord will be broken. We need a holy life in order to keep a continuing fellowship with the Lord that we may see Him all the time
九 在往荣耀去的途中
I. On the Way to Glory
15作为圣别的弟兄，我们一面是在圣别的过程中，一面也是在往荣耀去的途中。（来二10。）得以圣别乃是为著我们得荣耀的豫备。当我们在往荣耀去的途中，基督就来圣别我们，又作大祭司供应我们的需要，并作元帅领我们进荣耀里去。
15As holy brothers, while we are under the process of being made holy, we are on the way to glory ( 2:10). To be made holy, to be sanctified, is a preparation for us to be glorified. As we are on the way to glory, Christ is sanctifying us, ministering to our needs as the High Priest, and bringing us into glory as our Captain
16贰有分于属天呼召的人现在我们来看有分于属天呼召的人。这卷书信的作者，以属天的呼召与属地的呼召作为对比。犹太教里的人，有分于属地的呼召，要得属地的祝福。犹太教里没有甚么属天的东西。但是在神的经纶和全备的救恩里，神从诸天之上呼召我们，来得一切属天的东西。因此，这个呼召称为属天的呼召，其中的一切，都有属天的性质。我们这些圣别的弟兄们，乃是一同有分于这属天呼召的人。你愿意仍留在属地的呼召里，还是愿意作一个过河的真希伯来人，有分于属天的呼召？
16II. PARTAKERS OF THE HEAVENLY CALLING Now we come to the partakers of the heavenly calling. The term heavenly calling is used by the writer of this Epistle to compare this calling with the earthly calling. All the people in Judaism participated in an earthly calling for earthly blessings. Nothing in Judaism is heavenly. But in God’secon o my, in His full salvation, we have been called by God from the heavens and called to everything that is heavenly. Therefore, this calling is a heavenly calling. Everything in it has a heavenly nature. We, the holy brothers, are partakers of such a heavenly calling. Do you like to stay with the earthly calling, or will you cross the river to be a true Hebrew partaking of the heavenly calling
17希伯来书的观念集中在正面事物的属天性质上。首先，牠指出今天基督是坐在诸天之上；（一3；）祂已经进入诸天，（九24，）经过诸天，（四，）并且高过诸天。（七26。）接著，牠向我们揭示属天的呼召、（三、）属天的恩赐、（六4、）天上的事物、（八5、）属天的家乡、（十一、）以及属天的耶路撒冷。（十二。）牠也告诉我们，我们的名字已经记录在诸天之上，（23，）并且神今天是从诸天之上警戒我们。（25。）犹太教所持守旧约中一切的事物，性质都是属地的。本书作者的用意是要向希伯来的基督徒显示，新约属天的性质与旧约属地的性质相对，好使他们弃绝属地的事物，而联于属天的。
17The concept of the book of Hebrews is focused on the heavenly nature of the positive things. First of all, it points out to us that Christ today is sitting in the heavens (1:3). He has entered into the heavens (9:24). He has passed through the heavens (4:14) and has become 14 higher than the heavens (7:26). Then this book unfolds to us the heavenly calling (3:1), the heavenly gifts (6:4), 1 the heavenly things (8:5), the heavenly country (11:16), and the heavenly Jerusalem (12:22). It also tells us that 16 we are enrolled in the heavens (12:23) and that God 22 warns us today from the heavens (12:25). All the things in the Old Testament which were held in Judaism were of an earthly nature. In this book the writer’sin tent i on is to show the Hebrew Christians the contrast between the heavenly nature of the New Testament and the earthly nature of the Old Testament that they may forsake the earthly things and attach themselves to the heavenly.
一 归于属天的基督
A. To the Heavenly Christ
18属天的呼召，首先呼召我们归于属天的基督。（一3，13，四14，六20，七26，九24，十12。）基督今天在那里？祂乃是在诸天之上。祂曾经在地上，并且还要再回到地上，但现今祂乃是在诸天之上。祂是属天的基督，将属天的生命、供应和丰富，不断的供给我们，使我们能在地上过属天的生活。
18The heavenly calling firstly calls us to the heavenly Christ (1:3, 13; 4:14; 6:20; 7:26; 9:24; 10:12). Where is Christ today? He is in the heavens. He was on earth and He will return to earth, but now He is in the heavens. He is the heavenly Christ ministering the heavenly life, supply, and riches to us all the time that we may live a heavenly life while we are still on earth
二 名字记录在诸天之上
B. With the Heavenly Enrollment
19圣别的弟兄们虽然已经有分于属天的呼召，但他们仍然活在地上。然而，他们的名字却记录在诸天之上。（十二23。）今天我们虽然不在诸天之上，但名字却记录在那里。我们是有分于属天呼召的人，我们的名字也记录在诸天之上。因此，我们乃是属天的国民。（腓三20。）
19The holy brothers have partaken of the heavenly calling, but they are still on earth. Yet they have been enrolled in the heavens, (12:23) having their names written in the heavens. Today we are not in the heavens, but our names are written there. We are partakers of the heavenly calling, sharing in the heavenly enrollment. So we are a heavenly people (Phil. 3:20).
三 尝过属天的恩赐
C. To Taste the Heavenly Gift
20我们这些有分于属天呼召的人，也蒙召来尝属天的恩赐。（来六4。）属天的恩赐乃是在我们得救时，神所赐属天的事物，就如赦罪、公义、神圣的生命、平安和喜乐等。我们这些有分于属天呼召的人，都已尝过这些属天的事物。
20We, the partakers of the heavenly calling, have been called to taste the heavenly gift (6:4). The heavenly gift should be the heavenly things given to us by God at the time of our salvation, such as forgiveness, righteousness, divine life, peace, and joy. As partakers of the heavenly calling, we all have tasted these heavenly things
四 有属天的敬拜
D. To Have the Heavenly Worship
21我们这些有分于属天呼召的人，也需要有属天的敬拜。（八5，九23～24。）虽然我们还在地上，但对神的敬拜必须是属天的。圣别的弟兄蒙了呼召，要在地上有属天的敬拜。我们的敬拜必须不带任何属地的性质。我们的生活和敬拜，都应当是属天的。
21As partakers of the heavenly calling, we also need to have the heavenly worship (8:5; 9:23-24). Although we are on earth, our worship to God must be heavenly. The holy brothers have been called to have the heavenly worship on earth. We have to keep our worship from any earthly nature. Both our life and worship should be heavenly
五 来到属天的耶路撒冷
E. To Come to the Heavenly Jerusalem
22在旧约之下的人，只能来到地上的耶路撒冷。但是我们这些有分于属天呼召的人，乃是来到属天的耶路撒冷。（十二。）地上的耶路撒冷，代表律法及其辖制，（加四25，）属天的耶路撒冷，代表恩典及其自由。（26。）希伯来信徒不该来到地上的耶路撒冷，再留在律法之下作受辖制的儿女。他们应当弃绝地上的耶路撒冷，来到属天的耶路撒冷，在恩典之下作自由的儿女。
22People under the Old Testament came to the earthly Jerusalem. But we, the partakers of the heavenly calling, come to the heavenly Jerusalem (12:22). The earthly Jerusalem symbolizes the law with its bondage (Gal. 22 4:25), whereas the heavenly Jerusalem symbolizes grace with its freedom (Gal. 4:2 6). The Hebrew believers should not remain under the law as children of bondage coming to the earthly Jerusalem. They should give up the earthly Jerusalem and come to the heavenly one as the children of freedom under grace.
六 往属天的家乡去
F. To Go to the Heavenly Country
23我们这些有分于属天呼召的人，乃是被召往属天的家乡去。（来十一16。）我们是路过地上，要达到属天的家乡。
23We, the partakers of the heavenly calling, have been called to the heavenly country (11:16). We are traveling through the earth and shall reach the heavenly country
七 有分于圣灵
G. Partakers of the Holy Spirit
24作为有分于属天呼召者，我们也有分于圣灵。（六4。）圣灵乃是神在祂的福音里所应许给人的。（加三。）神在福音里，从诸天之上呼召我们来得属天的事物，好使我们有分于祂的圣灵。我们乃是藉著神的圣灵，尝过属天的恩赐。我们乃是藉著神的圣灵，能在地上过属天的生活。我们乃是藉著圣灵，有分于神圣的圣别。
24As partakers of the heavenly calling, we are also partakers of the Holy Spirit (6:4). The Holy Spirit is what God promised to give man in His gospel (Gal. 3:14). In His gospel, God has called us from the heavens to the 14 heavenly things that we may partake of His Holy Spirit. It is by God’sHo ly Spirit that we have tasted the heavenly gift. It is by God’sHo ly Spirit that we can live a heavenly life on earth. It is by the Holy Spirit that we can partake of the divine holiness. The Holy Spirit is just God Himself.
25圣灵就是神自己；我们既有分于圣灵，就得著神作我们的享受。我们也是藉著神的圣灵，能有属天的敬拜。
25As partakers of the Holy Spirit, we partake of God as our enjoyment. It is also by God’s Holy Spirit that we can have the heavenly worship.
八 有分于神圣的管教
H. Partakers of the Divine Discipline
26我们这些有分于属天呼召者，也有分于神圣的管教。（来十二8。）我听说英国的王子，就是继承王位的人，要接受很多的训练。一个王子必须先接受训练，然后才能登基作王。我们今天也有分于这种训练。我们将来是要登宝座的，所以我们也在神圣的管教之下。作为圣别的弟兄，我们必须有分于里面的圣灵所带给我们神圣的圣别。作为有分于属天呼召者，我们必须有分于圣灵藉著环境所成就的神圣管教。我们这些圣别的弟兄，不仅有分于属天的呼召，也有分于圣灵和神圣的圣别，以及神圣的管教，使我们得著成全，得以装备好，彀资格作神受膏者合式的同伙。
26We, the partakers of the heavenly calling, also partake of the divine discipline (12:8). I have been told that in Great Britain the crown prince, the successor to the throne, receives a great deal of discipline. A prince needs to be disciplined before he can assume the throne and have the kingship. This is the kind of discipline that we are now partaking of. As successors to the throne, we all are under the divine discipline. As holy brothers we need to partake of the divine holiness brought to us by the Holy Spirit within us. As partakers of the heavenly calling, we need to partake of the divine discipline accomplished by the Holy Spirit through our environment. We holy brothers are partakers not only of the heavenly calling but also of the Holy Spirit, of the divine holiness, and of the divine discipline for us to be perfected, equipped, and qualified that we may be the proper partners of God’san o in ted One
