腓一8　神可为我作见证，我在基督耶稣的心肠里，怎样切切地想念你们众人。

　　弗四16　本于祂，全身借着每一丰富供应的节，并借着每一部分依其度量而有的功用，得以联络在一起，并结合在一起，便叫身体渐渐长大，以致在爱里把自己建造起来。

　　当一个人搬进新房子，他需要一段时间才能在那房子里定居下来。他定居下来，就是安家在那房子里。这就是保罗所说，基督安家在我们心里的意思。基督想要定居在我们心里的每一部分。保罗知道，以弗所的信徒有基督在他们里面，但他们并没有让基督安家、定居在他们心里的每一部分。这就是为什么保罗有这样的祷告。我们的情感、心思、意志和良心必须被基督摸着，并被基督得着。住在我们里面、占有我们的基督，必须接管我们的情感、心思、意志和良心，直到祂完全定居在我们里面所有内在的房间里。这是由神圣的三一配搭着来完成的。神圣三者美丽地配搭在一起，好叫基督，就是三一神具体的化身，能完全定居在我们里面（在神圣三一里并同神圣三一活着，六八至六九页）。

　　Phil. 1:8 For God is my witness how I long after you all in the inward parts of Christ Jesus.

　　Eph. 4:16 Out from whom all the Body, being joined together and being knit together through every joint of the rich supply and through the operation in the measure of each one part, causes the growth of the Body unto the building up of itself in love.

　　Whenever a person moves into a new house, it takes him a while to become settled in that house. His getting settled is his making his home in the house. This is what Paul means by Christ making His home in our hearts. Christ wants to become settled in every part of our heart. Paul realized that the believers in Ephesus had Christ in them but that they did not have Christ making His home, getting Himself settled, in every part of their heart. This is why Paul prayed such a prayer. Our emotion, mind, will, and conscience must be touched by Christ and gained by Christ. The indwelling, occupying Christ needs to take over our emotion, our mind, our will, and our conscience until He gets Himself fully settled in all the inner rooms of our inner being. This is carried out in a coordinated way by the Divine Trinity. The three coordinate together in a beautiful way so that Christ, the embodiment of the Triune God, can become fully settled in our inner being.

　　一个杯子装满了水，并且满溢出来，这个满溢就是一种彰显。那个满溢就是丰满，而丰满就是杯子里面所盛装之东西的彰显。当我们对基督有这样深的经历时，结果就带进三一神的丰满。这丰满就是召会，基督的身体，作三一神的彰显（在神圣三一里并同神圣三一活着，六九页）。

　　〔腓立比一章八节的〕心肠表征里面的情感，指柔细的怜悯和同情。使徒甚至在基督的心肠，基督里面柔细的各部分里，与基督是一，切切地想念圣徒。这指明，保罗经历基督乃是与基督里面的各部分联为一，而在其中享受祂作恩典的供应（圣经恢复本，腓一8注1）。

　　基督既是人，就有人的心肠同其各种功用。基督在祂心肠里的经历，就是祂在祂心思、情感、意志、魂、心和灵里的经历，包括祂的爱好、愿望、感觉、思想、定意、存心和打算。

　　有好多处经节启示基督在祂心肠里的经历。按照路加二章四十九节，当主耶稣十二岁时，祂说，“岂不知我必须以我父的事为念么？”这也可译为：“我必须思念我父的事务。”…… 祂的心思被父的事务所占有。这里我们看见主心思的功用，祂的心肠是多么的为着父。……约翰二章十七节说到主的焦急：“我为你的家，心里焦急，如同火烧。”焦急是情感的事。主耶稣里面为着神的殿，焦急如同火烧。在此我们看见主运用了祂的情感。……在马太二十六章三十九节，主耶稣祷告说，“然而不要照我的意思，只要照你的意思。”这是祂在客西马尼，快要被捉去受死时的祷告。祂接受父的旨意，把自己的意志降服于父的旨意。这是主意志的功用。

　　以赛亚五十三章十二节预言到主耶稣在十字架上的死：“祂将命〔直译，魂〕倾倒，以至于死。”主耶稣丧失祂的魂，自愿将祂的魂倾倒，以至于死。这当然是祂魂的功用。……四十二章四节论到基督说，“祂不灰心，也不丧胆。”这是说到主的心的光景。祂从不灰心；祂心里从不丧胆。

　　马可二章八节说，“耶稣灵里……知道。”主耶稣用祂的灵，祂在祂的灵里知道事情。无论祂在什么处境，祂借着运用祂的灵，就知道那处境。祂运用祂的灵，好为着神，且使祂自己成为燔祭（利未记生命读经，八○至八一页）。

　　[The] overflow [of a cup filled up with water] is the fullness, and the fullness is the very expression of what is contained within the cup. When we experience Christ in such a deep way, this will issue in the fullness of the Triune God. This fullness is the church, the Body of Christ, as the very expression of the Triune God. (CWWL, 1988, vol. 1, "Living in and with the Divine Trinity," p. 322)

　　[In Philippians 1:8 inward parts means] "bowels"; signifying inward affection, then, tender mercy and sympathy. In longing after the saints, the apostle was one with Christ even in the bowels, the tender inward parts, of Christ. This indicates that for Paul to enjoy Christ meant that he was one with Christ's inward parts, in which he enjoyed Christ as the supply of grace. (Phil. 1:8, footnote 1)

　　As a man, Christ had the human inward parts with their various functions. Christ's experience in His inward parts is His experience in His mind, emotion, will, soul, heart, and spirit, including His love, desire, feeling, thought, decision, motive, and intention.

　　A number of verses reveal Christ's experience in His inward parts. According to Luke 2:49, when the Lord Jesus was twelve He said, "Did you not know that I must be in the things of My Father?" This can also be translated, "I must mind My Father's business."...His mind was occupied with the Father's business. Here we have the function of the Lord's mind, and we see how much He was inwardly for the Father. John 2:17 speaks of the Lord's zeal....Zeal is a matter of the emotion. The zeal within the Lord Jesus was on fire, was burning, for God's temple. Here we see the exercise of the Lord's emotion. In Matthew 26:39 the Lord Jesus prayed, "Yet not as I will, but as You will." This was His prayer in Gethsemane when He was about to be arrested and brought to the slaughter. He took the Father's will, for His own will was subdued to the Father's will. This was a matter of the function of the Lord's will.

　　Isaiah 53:12 prophesied concerning the Lord Jesus in His death on the cross: "He poured out His life unto death." The Lord Jesus lost His soul-life, voluntarily pouring out His soul unto death. This, of course, was a function of His soul. Isaiah 42:4 says, "He will not faint, nor will He be discouraged." This speaks about the condition of the Lord's heart. He was never disheartened; He was never discouraged in heart.

　　Mark 2:8 says, "Jesus, knowing fully in His spirit." The Lord Jesus used His spirit, and He knew things in His spirit. In whatever situation He was, He knew that situation by exercising His spirit. He used His spirit for God and for making Himself a burnt offering. (Life-study of Leviticus, pp. 68-69)
