弗二6　〔神〕又叫我们在基督耶稣里一同复活，一同坐在诸天界里。

　　腓三10~11　使我认识基督、并祂复活的大能、以及同祂受苦的交通，模成祂的死，或者我可以达到那从死人中杰出的复活。

　　召会是一个新造，是在基督的复活里并凭着复活的基督造成的。我们必须看见这异象。……我们也必须看见召会在哪里。今天召会乃是在升天的基督里。以弗所二章六节告诉我们，召会已经与基督一同复活，现今与基督一同坐在诸天界里。因此，召会完全、纯粹属于基督的元素，完全在复活里，完全与基督一同留在诸天界里。……召会没有基督以外的元素。这样的异象要管治你到极点，并排除一切不是基督的、复活的、属天的事物。……召会乃是在基督里、在复活里并在诸天界基督的升天里（长老训练第二册，三八至三九页）。

　　Eph. 2:6 And raised us up together with Him and seated us together with Him in the heavenlies in Christ Jesus.

　　Phil. 3:10-11 To know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, if perhaps I may attain to the out-resurrection from the dead.

　　The church is a new creation created in Christ's resurrection and by the resurrected Christ. We must see this vision.... We must also see where the church is. The church today is in Christ in ascension. Ephesians 2:6 tells us that the church has been resurrected with Christ, and now the church is seated in the heavenlies with Christ. Therefore, the church is absolutely and purely of the element of Christ, absolutely in resurrection, and absolutely remaining in the heavenlies with Christ.... With the church there is no element other than Christ. Such a vision will govern you to the uttermost and will rule out everything that is not Christly (of Christ), resurrectionly (of resurrection), or heavenly (of the heavens)....The church is a matter in Christ, in resurrection, and in Christ's ascension in the heavenlies.

　　灯台乃是基督的预表，描绘基督是复活的生命，生长、分枝、发苞、开花而发光。……灯台既然预表基督，就指明基督是生长的一位。……灯台不是只由一个枝子和一个灯盏构成的。反之，中央的干生长时，就产生三对枝子。不仅如此，所有的枝子都在生长，而且还有花萼、花苞和花朵。灯台的干开始生长时，先产生头一对枝子；然后再继续长大，产生第二对枝子，最后产生第三对；至终，干本身长到完满的量度。这一切都表明基督一直在生长。

　　基督先在祂自己里面生长，然后也在我们这些枝子里面生长。表面看来是枝子在生长，实际上乃是台借着枝子并在枝子里面生长。这指明基督在我们里面生长。……基督是中央的干，祂在自己里面，借着祂自己，并同着祂自己而生长。但在六个枝子里面，基督乃是在我们里面，借着我们，并同着我们而生长（出埃及记生命读经，一二六三至一二六四页）。

　　主在约翰十一章……启示说，复活不是时间的问题，乃是祂人位的问题；因为祂就是复活〔25〕。……创造亚当的那一位，来成为人，并在复活中过人性的生活。祂否认祂天然的人性。祂绝不从自己作任何事（五19、30）。祂虽然在自己里面作每一件事，却不是本于祂自己作事。我们也不该在我们天然的生命里作任何事，乃该在基督复活的生命里作事。耶稣在这地上虽然在肉体里生活行事，但祂弃绝这肉体。祂弃绝祂天然的生命。……主的迷人和顾惜人不是天然的，乃是凭祂在人性里复活的生命。

　　祂是一个神圣且奥秘的人，生活在神圣奥秘的范围中，以神圣奥秘的方式作每一件事。我们应当是这样的人。我们若在办公室上班，那些在我们身边的人应当感觉到我们有一样特别的东西。这个特别的东西乃是神圣且奥秘的。我们都需要被主构成门徒，成为神圣且奥秘的人。

　　我们正在从一个天然的人被训练成为一个神人，照着基督这第一个神人的榜样，否认我们天然的生命，而活神圣的生命（太二八19）。……召会生活是一个训练的生活，把我们从一个天然的人训练成为一个神人（活力排，一一三至一一五、二二至二三、四三至四四页）。

　　任何在天然生命里作的事，即使作得合乎圣经，都不是基督身体的实际。基督的身体完全是在基督复活生命里的事（关于相调的实行，一六页）。

　　As a type of Christ, the lampstand portrays Christ as the resurrection life, growing, branching, budding, and blossoming to shine the light....Since the lampstand typifies Christ, it indicates that Christ is the One who is growing....The lampstand is not made up of only one branch and one lamp. On the contrary, as the central stalk grows, it produces three pairs of branches. Moreover, all the branches are growing and have knobs, buds, and blossoms. As the stalk of the lampstand begins to grow, it produces the first pair of branches. Then as it continues to grow, it produces the second pair and finally the third. Eventually, the stalk itself grows to its full measure. All this indicates that Christ is growing.

　　Christ grows first in Himself and then also in us as the branches. Apparently, it is the branches that are growing. Actually, it is the stand that is growing through the branches and within them. This indicates Christ's growth in us.... As the central stalk, Christ grows in Himself, by Himself, and with Himself. But in the six branches He grows in us, by us, and with us. (Life-study of Exodus, pp. 1097-1098)

　　In John 11:25...the Lord revealed that resurrection is not a matter of time but a matter of His person, because He is the resurrection....The One who created Adam came to be a man and lived a human life in resurrection. He denied His natural humanity. He never did anything out of Himself (5:19, 30). He did everything in Himself but not of Himself. We also should not do anything in our natural life but in Christ's resurrection life. Jesus was living and walking on this earth in His flesh, but He rejected this flesh. He rejected His natural life....The Lord's charming and cherishing are not natural but are by His resurrection life in humanity.

　　He was a divine and mystical person living in the divine and mystical realm, doing everything in a divine and mystical way. We should be such persons. If we are working in an office, those around us should have the feeling that there is something extraordinary about us. This extraordinary thing is divine and mystical. We all need to be discipled by the Lord to be divine and mystical persons.

　　We are being discipled from being a natural man to being a God-man, living the divine life by denying our natural life according to the model of Christ as the first God-man (Matt. 28:19).... The church life is a discipling life to disciple us from being a natural man to being a God-man. (CWWL, 1994-1997, vol. 5, "The Vital Groups," pp. 142-143, 75, 88-89)

　　Anything that is carried out even scripturally but in the natural life is not the reality of the Body of Christ. The Body of Christ is absolutely something in the resurrection life of Christ. (CWWL, 1994-1997, vol. 1, "The Practical Points concerning Blending," p. 113)
