约翰壹书生命读经 · 第24篇

膏油涂抹与敌基督的

The Anointing and the Antichrists

1读经：约翰一书二章十八至二十七节。在本篇信息里，我要进一步说到神圣膏油涂抹的教导。我们已经看见，关于神圣三一之膏油涂抹的教导，是根据信徒在生命里的长大。我们也已经看见，神圣膏油涂抹的教导，是叫我们住在三一神里面。

1Scripture Reading: 1 John 2:18-27 In this message I would like to give a further word on the teaching of the divine anointing. We have seen that the teaching of the anointing concerning the Divine Trinity is according to the believers’ growth in life. We have also seen that the teaching of the divine anointing is for our abiding in the Triune God

交通与膏油涂抹

FELLOWSHIP AND THE ANOINTING

2神圣生命的交通是在于膏油涂抹。这就是说，维持神圣生命的交通，是在于住在主里并住在光中。住在主里并住在光中，等于住在三一神里面。

2The fellowship of the divine life depends on the anointing. This means that maintaining the fellowship of the divine life depends on abiding in the Lord and in the light. To abide in the Lord and in the light is equal to abiding in the Triune God

3三一神成为那灵临到我们。神若只是父与子，就不能进到我们里面。三一神惟有成为那灵，才能进到我们灵里。约壹二章二十和二十七节的『膏油涂抹，』主要的不是指父或子，乃是指那灵。实际上，膏油就是那灵，而膏油涂抹就是这膏油的运行。当我们说到膏油涂抹，意思就是三一神成为那灵临到我们。当三一神进到我们灵里，祂乃是赐生命的灵。这住在我们灵里之赐生命的灵，现今正在我们里面运行并工作。这运行就是膏油涂抹。膏油涂抹与我们住在主里面极有关系，我们享受神圣生命的交通，就叫我们住在主里面。这样的住，完全是成为那灵的主住在我们灵里的事。所以约翰在第一段论到神圣生命的交通以后，立刻在这封书信的第二段，接著说到神圣膏油涂抹的教导。离了膏油涂抹，我们就不能住在主里面。我们若不住在主里面，就不能维持交通。不仅如此，我们若不维持交通，就不能享受神圣生命的丰富。也可以说，要享受神圣生命的丰富，就需要维持交通；要维持交通，就需要住在主里面；要住在主里面，就需要注意内里膏油的涂抹，就是我们灵里内住之灵的运行。

3The Triune God reaches us as the Spirit. If God were only the Father and the Son, He would not be able to enter into us. It is only as the Spirit that the Triune God can enter into our spirit. The word “anointing” in 2:20 and 27 refers mainly to the Spirit, not primarily to the Father or the Son. Actually, the ointment is the Spirit, and the anointing is the moving of this ointment. When we speak of the anointing, we mean the Triune God reaching us as the Spirit. When the Triune God comes into our spirit, He is the life-giving Spirit. This life-giving Spirit, who dwells in our spirit, is now moving and working within us. This moving is the anointing. The anointing has much to do with our abiding in the Lord. We enjoy the fellowship of the divine life so that we may abide in the Lord. This abiding is altogether a matter of the Lord as the Spirit dwelling in our spirit. This is the reason that immediately after the first section, which is concerned with the fellowship of the divine life, John goes on in the second section of this Epistle to speak of the teaching of the divine anointing. Apart from the anointing, we cannot abide in the Lord. If we do not abide in the Lord, we cannot maintain the fellowship. Furthermore, if we do not maintain the fellowship, we cannot enjoy the riches of the divine life. We may also say that to enjoy the riches of the divine life, we need to maintain the fellowship; to maintain the fellowship, we need to abide in the Lord; and in order to abide in the Lord, we need to take care of the inner anointing, which is the moving of the indwelling Spirit in our spirit.

否认基督的身位

DENYING THE PERSON OF CHRIST

4约翰在约壹二章十八节说，『小孩子们，如今是末时了；你们曾听见，那敌基督的要来，现在已经有好些敌基督的出来了，从此我们就知道如今是末时了。』敌基督的与假基督不同。（太二四5，24。）假基督是用欺骗的方法装作是基督，而敌基督的是否认基督的神格。他们否认耶稣是基督，也就是否认耶稣是神的儿子，（约壹二22～23，）不承认祂是藉著圣灵神圣的成孕，在肉体里来的，因而否认父与子。（约壹四2～3。）在使徒约翰的时候，许多异端者如智慧派（Gnostics）、塞林则派（Cerinthians）、多西特派（Docetists）等，将关于基督身位（即关于祂的神性和人性）的异端教导人。

4In verse 18 John says, “Young children, it is the last hour, and even as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come; whereby we know that it is the last hour.” An antichrist differs from a false Christ (Matt. 24:5, 24). A false Christ is one who pretends to be the Christ in a deceiving way, whereas an antichrist is one who denies Christ’s deity, denying that Jesus is the Christ, that is, denying the Father and the Son by denying that Jesus is the Son of God (vv. 22-23), not confessing that He has come in the flesh through the divine conception of the Holy Spirit (4:2-3). At the time of the apostle John, many heretics, like the Gnostics, Cerinthians, and Docetists, taught heresies concerning the Person of Christ, that is, concerning His divinity and humanity.

5约翰在二章十九节接著说，『他们从我们中间出去，却不是属我们的；若是属我们的，就会仍旧与我们同在；但他们出去，是要显明他们都不是属我们的。』这些敌基督的不是从神生的，也不在使徒与信徒的交通里；（约壹一3，徒二42；）因此他们不属于召会，不属于基督的身体。仍旧与使徒和信徒同在，就是留在基督身体的交通里。约翰在二章二十二节说，『谁是说谎的？不是那否认耶稣是基督的么？否认父与子的，这就是敌基督的。』承认耶稣是基督，就是承认祂是神的儿子。（太十六16，约二十31。）因此，否认耶稣是基督，就是否认父与子。凡这样否认基督神圣身位的，就是敌基督的。受膏者，施膏者，否认耶稣是基督与否认膏油涂抹有关。然而，由于语言的问题，我们也许不能领会基督与膏油涂抹有关。基督的原文是Christos，意思是受膏者。膏油涂抹的原文是chrisma，这两个字都是源于同一字根。现在我们必须继续来看，基督这受膏者成了膏油涂抹。因为祂是受膏者，祂有丰富的膏油，可以用来膏我们。至终，受膏者成为施膏者。事实上，祂甚至成为膏油涂抹。否认耶稣是基督，就是否认耶稣是受膏者。不仅如此，否认受膏者，意思就是否认膏油涂抹。因此，否认基督（Christos）就是否认膏油涂抹（chrisma）。当人否认耶稣是Christos，他就是否认耶稣是受膏者。这等于否认膏油涂抹，因为受膏者进到我们里面之后，就成了膏油涂抹。

5In verse 19 John goes on to say, “They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but they went out that they might be manifested that they all are not of us.” These antichrists were not born of God and were not in the fellowship of the apostles with the believers (1:3; Acts 2:42). Hence, they were not of the church, that is, not of the Body of Christ. To remain with the apostles and the believers is to remain in the fellowship of the Body of Christ. In verse 22 John says, “Who is the liar if not he who is denying that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, who is denying the Father and the Son.” To confess that Jesus is the Christ is to confess that He is the Son of God (Matt. 16:16; John 20:31). Hence, to deny that Jesus is the Christ is to “deny the Father and the Son.” Whoever so denies the divine Person of Christ “is the antichrist.” THE ANOINTED ONE, THE ANOINTING ONE, To deny that Jesus is the Christ is related to denying the anointing. However, due to the problem of language, we may not realize that Christ is related to the anointing. The Greek word for Christ is Christos, which means the anointed one, and the Greek word for anointing is chrisma. Both words are derived from the same root. Now we must go on to see that Christ as the anointed One becomes the anointing. Because He is the anointed One, He has an abundance of ointment with which to anoint us. Eventually, the anointed One becomes the anointing One. In fact, He even becomes the anointing. To deny that Jesus is the Christ is to deny that Jesus is the anointed One. Moreover, to deny the anointed One means to deny the anointing. Therefore, to deny the Christos is to deny the chrisma. Whenever someone denies that Jesus is the Christos, that one denies that Jesus is the anointed One. This is equal to denying the anointing, for after the anointed One enters into us, He becomes the anointing.

6保罗在林后一章二十一节说，『然而那把我们同你们，坚固的联于基督，并且膏了我们的，就是神。』神既已把我们联于基督这受膏者，我们自然就与基督一同为神所膏。基督已经为神圣的膏油所膏，祂身上的膏油现今就流到我们身上。这就是诗篇一百三十三篇所描绘的；那里说，膏油从亚伦的头流到他的胡须，甚至流到他祭司袍的下摆。这指明基督有丰盈的膏油。神已经将膏油浇在祂身上。藉著那膏油涂抹，基督已经接受了膏油，至终祂这位受膏者成了施膏者。祂这受膏者进到我们里面，成了我们里面的施膏者。事实上，那住在我们里面的膏油涂抹，乃是受膏者成了施膏者，也成了膏油涂抹。拒绝这受膏者，就是拒绝膏油涂抹。每当人否认耶稣是受膏者，因而否认祂是施膏者，这人也就否认膏油涂抹。我们现今需要看见，否认膏油涂抹，就是反膏油涂抹，这就是『敌基督的』这名称正确的意义。因此，敌基督的意思就是敌挡膏油涂抹。根据约壹二章二十二节，敌基督的就是否认耶稣是基督的人。否认耶稣是基督，就是否认祂是施膏者。这也就是否认膏油涂抹，因而是反膏油涂抹。敌基督的是甚么？敌基督的就是反膏油涂抹的人。不仅如此，根据二十二节，敌基督的，反膏油涂抹的，就是否认父与子。我们可能不会这样敌挡膏油涂抹，但我们必须承认，我们时常不顺从这内里的膏油涂抹。神的心意是要将祂自己作到我们里面，作我们的生命和一切，使我们成为祂的配偶，以彰显祂自己。神要成就这事，就必须经过成为肉体、为人生活、钉十字架和复活的过程。祂进入复活，就成了复合、包罗万有、赐生命的灵。这灵实际上就是，受膏者，成了赐生命者。我们相信主耶稣，就将祂接受到我们里面。我们接受的是受膏者，而祂藉著死与复活已经成为施膏者。不仅如此，这施膏者就是包罗万有内住的灵。我们一相信祂，祂这灵就进到我们灵里。祂现今在我们灵里，用三一神的元素膏我们，『漆』我们。『漆』得越多，三一神的元素就越灌输到我们里面。这就是膏油涂抹，这膏油涂抹乃是整个新约的实际。

6In 2 Corinthians 1:21 Paul says, “But He who firmly attaches us with you unto Christ and has anointed us is God.” Because we have been attached by God to Christ, the anointed One, we are spontaneously anointed with Him by God. Christ has been anointed with the divine ointment, and the ointment that is upon Him now flows to us. This is pictured in Psalm 133, which says that the anointing oil flows from the head of Aaron to his beard and even to the skirts of his priestly robe. This indicates that Christ has an abundance of the anointing oil. God has poured the ointment upon Him. Through that anointing Christ has received the ointment, and eventually He, the anointed One, became the anointing One. When He entered into us as the anointed One, He became the anointing One in us. Actually, the anointing that dwells in us is the anointed One becoming the anointing One and also the anointing. To reject this anointed One is to reject the anointing. Whenever someone denies that Jesus is the anointed One and thereby denies that He is the anointing One, this person also denies the anointing. Now we need to see that to deny the anointing is to be anti-anointing, the accurate meaning of the title antichrist. Antichrist, therefore, means anti the anointing. According to verse 22, the antichrist is the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ. To deny that Jesus is the Christ is to deny that He is the anointing One. This is also to deny the anointing and thereby to be anti-anointing. What is the antichrist? The antichrist is someone who is anti - anointing. Furthermore, according to verse 22, to be an antichrist, to be anti- anointing, is to deny the Father and the Son. We may not be anti the anointing in this way, yet we have to admit that often we disobey this inner anointing. God’sin tent i on is to work Himself into us as our life and our everything to make us His counterpart for the expression of Himself. In order to accomplish this, it was necessary for God to pass through the process of incarnation, human living, crucifixion, and resurrection. When He entered into resurrection, He became the compound, all-inclusive, life-giving Spirit. This Spirit is actually Christos, the anointed One, becoming the Christos life-giving One. When we believed in the Lord Jesus, we received Him into us. The One we received is the anointed One, who through death and resurrection has become the anointing One. Furthermore, this anointing One is the all - inclusive indwelling Spirit. As soon as we believed in Him, He as the Spirit entered our spirit. Now He is within our spirit to anoint us, to “paint” us, with the element of the Triune God. The more this “painting” goes on, the more the element of the Triune God is transfused into our being. This is the anointing, which is the reality of the entire New Testament.

十字架的功效

THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE CROSS

与复活的实际

AND THE REALITY OF RESURRECTION

7许多基督徒忽略了膏油涂抹这极其重要且中心的事。今天许多人有道理和规条的宗教，却忽略了内里包罗万有之灵膏油涂抹的教导。有些人教导十字架，然而他们只有十字架的道理，却没有赐生命之灵将基督十字架的功效分赐到他们里面。我们也许努力算自己是死的，却没有藉著施膏的灵将基督死的功效分赐到我们里面。离了那灵，算自己是死的，只是徒劳的作法。许多年前，我试过跟随这种作法，但我发现行不通。基督徒今天也可能教导复活。他们虽然教导复活的道理，但并没有藉著赐生命的灵，将基督复活的实际作到他们里面。赐生命的灵乃是基督复活的实际。基督复活的道理不能将祂复活的实际分赐到我们里面，这惟有藉著赐生命的灵才能成就；赐生命的灵实际上就是那住在我们里面复活的基督自己。道理不是实际。那成了赐生命之灵，复活的基督自己，才是祂复活的实际。光有道理不彀，我们需要赐生命的灵作道理的实际。我看见了这点，就从一九五八年开始释放一篇又一篇的信息，说，仅有基督死而复活的道理是虚空的，惟有那灵才能将基督死的功效，和祂复活的实际传输到我们里面。我们若了解这点，就会看见今天许多基督徒只有道理，没有那灵。

7This crucial and central matter of the anointing has been neglected by many Christians. Today many have a religion with doctrines and regulations, but they neglect the inward teaching of the anointing of the all-inclusive Spirit. Some teach concerning the cross. However, they may have only the doctrine of the cross; they may not have the life-giving Spirit imparting the effectiveness of the cross of Christ into their being. We may try to reckon ourselves dead. But we may do this without having the effectiveness of Christ’s death imparted into our being through the anointing Spirit. Apart from the Spirit, reckoning ourselves dead is merely a vain practice. Years ago, I tried to follow this practice, but I found out that it did not work. Christians today may also teach about resurrection. Although they teach the doctrine of resurrection, they may not have the reality of Christ’s resurrection wrought into them through the life-giving Spirit. The life-giving Spirit is the reality of Christ’s resurrection. The doctrine of Christ’s resurrection cannot impart its reality into our being. This can be done only through the life-giving Spirit, who is actually the resurrected Christ Himself living in us. The doctrine is not the reality. It is the resurrected Christ Himself as the life- giving Spirit who is the reality of His resurrection. It is not sufficient to have the doctrine. We need the life- giving Spirit as the reality of the doctrine. Realizing this, in 1958 I began to give message after message saying that merely the doctrine of Christ’s death and resurrection is vanity; only the Spirit can convey the effectiveness of Christ’s death and the reality of His resurrection into us. If we realize this, we shall see that many of today’s Christians have merely the doctrine without the Spirit.

赐生命、施膏的灵

THE LIFE-GIVING, ANOINTING SPIRIT

8神一切的所是，神一切的所有，以及神一切所达到并所得著的，都包括在赐生命的灵里。这赐生命的灵乃是复合的灵作膏油来涂抹我们。在这膏油涂抹里，我们就很活的，具体的得著神连同祂一切的成就。我们不该仅仅在客观上、道理上得著神，我们该得著主观的神，就是藉著、凭著、同著那包罗万有的灵，并在那包罗万有的

8All that God is, all that God has, and all that God has attained and obtained, are included in the life-giving Spirit. This life-giving Spirit is the compound Spirit as the ointment anointing us. In this anointing we have God with all His attainments in a living, substantial way. We should not have God merely in an objective, doctrinal way. We should have the subjective God, a God who is substantiated in our spirit through, by, in, and with the all-inclusive Spirit

9灵里，质实在我们灵里的神。

10因著今天许多基督徒忽略甚至不理会包罗万有的灵，就一面说，某些信徒就无知的反对膏油涂抹。他们也许会客观的敬拜父并相信子，相信祂是那位远在诸天之上的主，却不主观的留意祂是施膏的灵；这灵已经进到他们里面，现今就住在他们里面。有些人不留意这样一位活的、主观的基督，反而在实际上反对这真理，就是基督今天乃是活在信徒里面那赐生命的灵。这就是说，他们反对那是内住、赐生命、施膏之灵的基督。

10Because the all-inclusive Spirit is neglected and even ignored by many Christians today, certain believers are, in a sense, anti- the anointing ignorantly. They may worship the Father and believe in the Son in an objective way, believing in Him as the One who is the Lord far away in the heavens, but not caring for Him subjectively as the anointing Spirit who has come into their being and is now dwelling in them. Instead of caring for such a living and subjective Christ, some actually oppose the truth that Christ today is the life- giving Spirit who lives in the believers. This means that they are anti the Christ who is the indwelling, life- giving, anointing Spirit

好些敌基督的

many antichrists

11由于传统教导的影响，许多人以为『敌基督的』一辞单是指帖后二章那不法的人，和启示录十三章的兽。然而，这两章经文都没有用到『敌基督的』一辞。『敌基督的』这名称不该只应用于那不法的人和兽。根据约翰一书，敌基督的乃是那些反对基督这受膏者是神儿子的人。实际上，新约里那不法的人并不叫敌基督的。这名称只在约翰一书和二书里才用到，乃指那些否认耶稣是基督的人，也就是那些否认耶稣是受膏者，是神儿子的人。根据约翰一书二章，凡这样否认基督的，就是敌基督的。约壹二章十八节『敌基督的』（没有冠词）是指类别，不是指某一个敌基督的。因此，下一句说到『好些敌基督的。』

11Due to the influence of traditional teaching, many think that the term “antichrist” refers only to the man of lawlessness in 2 Thessalonians 2 and to the beast in Revelation 13. However, the term antichrist is not used in either of these chapters. The title antichrist should not be applied merely to the man of lawlessness and the beast. According to 1 John, the antichrists are those who are anti Christ, the anointed One, as the Son of God. Actually, in the New Testament the man of lawlessness is not called the antichrist. This title is found only in the Epistles of 1 and 2 John, where it is used to refer to those who deny that Jesus is the Christ, that is, those who deny that Jesus is the anointed One, as the Son of God. According to 1 John chapter two, whoever denies Christ in this way is an antichrist. “Antichrist,” without the article, in verse 18 denotes the category, not a particular antichrist. Hence, “many antichrists” are mentioned in the following clause

经历膏油涂抹

EXPERIENCING THE ANOINTING

12我们里面施膏的灵是三一神的终极完成，在这灵里有神性、人性、为人生活、钉十字架和复活的元素。祂是包罗万有的灵，包括神所成就、所达到并所得著的一切。这灵现今是我们里面的施膏者。

12The anointing Spirit within is the consummation of the Triune God, and in this Spirit there are the elements of divinity, humanity, human living, crucifixion, and resurrection. He is the all-inclusive Spirit comprising all that God has accomplished, attained, and obtained. This Spirit is now the anointing One within us

13最初基督是受膏者，然后祂这受膏者成为施膏者，住在我们里面膏我们。然而，多数的基督徒不是忽略了这点，就是对此一无所知，有些人实际上还反对这真理。我们感谢主，靠著祂的怜悯，我们现今正在经历并享受我们里面这包罗万有之灵奇妙的涂抹。

13First, Christ was the anointed One. Then as the anointed One, He became the anointing One who dwells within us to anoint us. However, most Christians either neglect this or are ignorant of it, and some actually oppose this truth. We thank the Lord that, by His mercy, we are experiencing and enjoying the wonderful anointing of the all-inclusive Spirit within us

PAINTING OTHERS

用赐生命的灵漆别人

WITH THE LIFE-GIVING SPIRIT

14在主的恢复里有许多圣徒，特别是青年人，都在享受这膏油涂抹，这事实很激励我。我盼望在要来的年日里，圣徒们会去传讲并教导今天许多信徒所不认识的那奇妙、神圣的奥秘。我们中间许多人将来能用复合的灵涂抹别人，将这神圣的『油漆』涂在他们身上。我们若要这么作，就必须是『涂上漆』的人，就是被膏油涂抹浸透的人。我们该是油漆『未干』的人，总是重新涂上神圣的油漆。因这涂抹一直在进行，我们身上的油漆绝不会干，然后我们这些涂上漆的人，就该用复合、包罗万有、赐生命的灵去漆别人。

14I am encouraged by the fact that many saints in the Lord’s recovery, especially the young people, are enjoying this anointing. I expect that in the years to come the saints will go forth to preach and teach the wonderful, divine mysteries that are unknown to so many believers today. Many of us will be able to anoint others with the compound Spirit, applying this divine “paint” to them. If we would do this, we need to be “painted” persons, those who are saturated with the anointing. We should be those on whom the paint is wet,” always having a fresh application of the divine paint. Because this painting is taking place all the time, the paint on us should never dry. Then as such painted persons, we should go forth to paint others with the compound, all-inclusive, life-giving Spirit
