利八14~15　他〔摩西〕牵了赎罪祭的公牛来，亚伦和他儿子们按手在赎罪祭公牛的头上。摩西就宰了公牛，用指头蘸些血，抹在坛周围的四角上，使坛洁净，把其余的血倒在坛的基部，使坛分别为圣，为坛遮罪。
　　赎罪祭的公牛表征较刚强、较丰富的基督，作我们的赎罪祭，以对付肉体、旧人、内住的罪、撒但、世界和世界的王，使我们得以承担新约的祭司职分（见利四3注4二段）。这提醒我们在自己里面乃是前述一切消极事物的构成，需要天天献上基督作赎罪祭，好尽祭司的职分（见出二九36注1）（圣经恢复本，利八14注2）。
　　赎罪祭对付我们天然的人、我们的肉体、住在我们里面那人位化的罪、撒但、挂在撒但身上的世界以及争权。我们若要作新约的祭司，这一切都必须受基督这赎罪祭的对付。当基督钉在十字架上作我们的赎罪祭时，祂对付了天然的人、肉体、内住的罪、撒但、世界和争权。在神圣的任命里，这样的赎罪祭应用在我们身上，使我们能作得胜的祭司事奉神（利未记生命读经，三〇〇页）。

　　Lev. 8:14-15 And he brought the bull of the sin offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the bull of the sin offering. And Moses slaughtered it and took the blood and put some of it on and around the horns of the altar with his finger, and purified the altar, and poured out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar and sanctified it, to make expiation for it.

　　The bull of the sin offering signifies the stronger and richer Christ as our sin offering to deal with the flesh, the old man, indwelling sin, Satan, the world, and the ruler of the world, for the assuming of our New Testament priesthood (see footnote 4 on Lev. 4:3, par. 2). This reminds us that in ourselves we are a constitution of all the aforementioned negative things and need to offer Christ daily as our sin offering for our priesthood (see footnote 1 on Exo. 29:36). (Lev. 8:14, footnote 1)

　　The sin offering deals with our natural man, our flesh, the personified sin that dwells in us, Satan, the world hanging on Satan, and the power struggle. If we would be New Testament priests, all these things must be dealt with by Christ as the sin offering. When Christ was crucified as our sin offering, He dealt with the natural man, the flesh, the indwelling sin, Satan, the world, and the power struggle. In the divine ordination, such a sin offering is applied to us that we may be prevailing priests serving God. (Life-study of Leviticus, p. 255)

　　祭司享用赎罪祭，担当百姓的罪孽，表征我们这些新约的祭司，享用基督作信徒的赎罪祭，意思是有分于基督的生命，就是那担当他人之罪的生命，作我们生命的供应，使我们能担当神子民的难处。我们在召会生活中，对基督作我们的赎罪祭丰富的享受，使我们能将基督这对付罪的生命供应信徒，使他们可以对付自己的罪，恢复他们与神之间中断的交通（参加六1~2，弗四2）（圣经恢复本，利十17注1）。
　　我们可能觉得自己已经蒙称许，能有分于主的筵席，但我们很关心那些一直在犯罪的人。我们可能知道有些圣徒一直在犯罪，却仍然来赴主的筵席。我们该怎么办？我们必须记得，保罗在林前十一章的话告诉我们，要察验自己，试验自己是否蒙称许。那里的话没有告诉我们要察验别人，试验别人。我们应当把别人留交给主，而不作他们的审判官。我们只该审判自己，不该审判别人。
　　你若知道某个人犯了罪，你就得为他祷告，学习把基督这对付罪的生命供应给他，使他可以对付自己的罪。基督的生命乃是对付罪的生命。首先，你自己必须因着享受基督对付罪的生命，而受了对付。然后你必须把这样一位基督作为对付罪的生命供应给别人。利未记告诉我们，祭司要在圣处吃赎罪祭，使他们能“担当会众的罪孽，在祂面前为他们遮罪”（十17）。当你享受基督作对付罪的生命时，你必须有度量去担当神子民的罪孽。你必须学习把基督供应给陷在罪中的亲爱圣徒。
　　将基督作对付罪的生命供应给人，不是到他那里去指出他的错，定他的罪；这只会造成损害。你必须先去使他刚硬的心柔软下来。犯罪人的心通常是刚硬的（来三13）。如果你要去供应基督给他，你必须信靠主，好叫你靠着那灵有恩典，使他刚硬的心柔软下来。你必须软化他的心，温暖他的心，然后才能把是生命的基督，实际地、真实地、丰富地供应给他。这生命，就是那灵，会在他里面作工。你不需要提起他的过错，因为进到他里面作生命供应的这生命，会作许多事（应时的话，一一至一二页）。

　　The priests' partaking of the sin offering to bear the iniquity of the people signifies that we, the New Testament priests, partake of Christ as the believers' sin offering in the sense of participating in Christ's life, the life that bears others' sins, as our life supply that we may be able to bear the problems of God's people. The rich enjoyment of Christ as our sin offering in the church life enables us to minister Christ to the believers as the life that deals with sin, that they may deal with their sins to restore their broken fellowship with God (cf. Gal. 6:1-2; Eph. 4:2). (Lev. 10:17, footnote 1)

　　We may feel that we have been approved to partake of the table, but we are concerned about others who have been committing sins. We may know of some saints who have been committing sins and still come to the Lord's table. What shall we do? We must remember that Paul's word in 1 Corinthians 11 tells us to prove ourselves, to test ourselves for approval. It does not tell us that we have to prove or test others. We should leave others to the Lord and not be their judge. We should only judge ourselves and not judge others.

　　If you know that someone has committed some sins, you have to pray for him and learn to minister Christ as the sin-dealing life to him that he may deal with his sins. The life of Christ is a life that deals with sin, a sin-dealing life. First, you yourself must be dealt with by enjoying Christ's sin-dealing life. Then you must minister such a Christ as the sin-dealing life to others. The book of Leviticus tells us that the priests were to eat the sin offering in the holy place that they might "bear the iniquity of the assembly, to make expiation for them before Jehovah" (10:17). As you are enjoying Christ as the sin-dealing life, you must have the capacity to bear the iniquity of God's people. You must learn to minister Christ to the dear ones who are in sin.

　　To minister Christ as the sin-dealing life to someone is not to go to him to point out his fault and condemn him. This will only cause damage. You have to go first to soften his hardened heart. A person who sins usually has his heart hardened (Heb. 3:13). If you are going to minister Christ to him, you have to trust in the Lord that you may have the grace with the Spirit to soften his hardened heart. You have to soften his heart and warm up his heart. Then the very Christ as life will be actually, really, and richly ministered to him, and this life, which is the Spirit, will work within him. You do not need to mention his fault because the life that gets into him as the life supply will do a lot. (CWWL, 1988, vol. 3, "A Timely Word," p. 54)
