基督身体的实际
The Reality of the Body of Christ
« 周 纲目 »
壹 神经纶的最高峰乃是基督身体的实际—罗十二4~5,林前十二13、27,弗一22~23,四16,西一18,二19。
Ⅰ The highest peak of God's economy is the reality of the Body of Christ—Rom. 12:4-5; 1 Cor. 12:13, 27; Eph. 1:22-23; 4:16; Col. 1:18; 2:19.
贰 基督身体的实际,乃是实际的灵作到我们里面并构成到我们的所是里—约十四17,十五26,十六13,约壹五6,弗三16~21,四4~6、12、16。
Ⅱ The reality of the Body of Christ is the Spirit of reality wrought into us and constituted into our being—John 14:17; 15:26; 16:13; 1 John 5:6; Eph. 3:16-21; 4:4-6, 12, 16.
叁 基督身体的实际,乃是“那在耶稣身上是实际者”(21),就是耶稣一生的真实光景,如四福音书所记载的,重复在祂许多肢体身上,作为得了成全之神人的团体生活—约十四6上,弗四20~24,加二20,腓一8、19~21上,二19~30:
Ⅲ The reality of the Body of Christ is “the reality…in Jesus” (v. 21), the actual condition of the life of Jesus, as recorded in the four Gospels, duplicated in His many members as the corporate living of the perfected God-men—John 14:6a; Eph. 4:20-24; Gal. 2:20; Phil. 1:8, 19-21a; 2:19-30:
一 耶稣在生活中总是在神里面,同着神并为着神行事;神是在祂的生活中,并且祂与神是一 —这就是那在耶稣身上是实际者—弗四21。
A Jesus lived a life in which He did everything in God, with God, and for God; God was in His living, and He was one with God—this is the reality in Jesus—Eph. 4:21.
二 唯一讨神喜悦的生活,就是重复基督在地上所过的生活;我们正在被主成全成为神人,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—太十一29上,十七5下,彼前二21。
B The only life that is a delight to God is the life that is a repetition of the life Christ lived on earth; we are being perfected by the Lord to be God-men, living the divine life by denying our natural life according to the model of Christ as the first God-man—Matt. 11:29a; 17:5b; 1 Pet. 2:21.
三 在基督身体的实际里的生活,与耶稣的生活是一样的;这是耶稣再次活在祂身体的众肢体里—弗四21,五30,林前十二27。
C A living in the reality of the Body of Christ is the same as the living of Jesus; it is Jesus living again in the members of His Body—Eph. 4:21; 5:30; 1 Cor. 12:27.

  约十六13 等实际的灵来了,祂要引导你们进入一切的实际……。

  弗四4 一个身体和一位灵,正如你们蒙召,也是在一个盼望中蒙召的。

  今天基督的身体就是召会,她所有的实际也就是那终极完成之三一神实际的灵。经过过程之三一神的实际,乃是祂终极完成之实际的灵(约十四17,十五26,十六13,约壹五6)。这三一神之所是、所有并所能,其实际都是这实际的灵。并且这三一神所经过的死与复活,其实际也都是这实际的灵。

  再者,这实际的灵使经过过程之三一神的一切,都在基督的身体里成为实际(约十六13~15)。乃是这实际的灵,使三一神一切的丰富,在基督的身体里显为可能,显为真实,那就是三一神的实际。那经过过程之三一神所是的公义、圣别、生命、亮光、能力、恩典及一切神圣的属性,都由这实际的灵实化为基督身体的实际属性(罗十五16下,十四17,弗三16)。原来,这些……都是属于神的属性,现在因着那灵在基督的身体里,把这些属性都实化到召会里了,所以召会也就有了……神圣属性的实际(对基督身体的透视,三一页)。
  John 16:13 "But when He, the Spirit of reality, comes, He will guide you into all the reality…"

  Eph. 4:4 "One Body and one Spirit, even as also you were called in one hope of your calling."

  The Body of Christ is the church today, and all of its reality is the Spirit of the reality of the consummated Triune God. The reality of the processed Triune God is His consummated Spirit of reality (John 14:17; 15:26; 16:13; 1 John 5:6). The reality of all that the Triune God is, has, and can do is simply this Spirit of reality. The reality of the death and resurrection that the Triune God passed through is also this Spirit of reality.

  Furthermore, this Spirit of reality makes everything of the processed Triune God a reality in the Body of Christ (John 16:13-15). It is this same Spirit of reality who makes all the riches of the Triune God, which are just His reality, possible and real in the Body of Christ. All that the processed Triune God is, including righteousness, holiness, life, light, power, grace, and all the divine attributes, are realized by this Spirit of reality to be the real attributes of the Body of Christ (Rom. 15:16b; 14:17; Eph. 3:16). Originally, [these] were merely God's attributes; now these attributes have been realized in the church by the Spirit in the Body of Christ. The church therefore possesses the reality of the divine attributes. (CWWL, 1990, vol. 2, “A Thorough View of the Body of Christ, “p. 130)

  不仅如此,这经过过程之三一神所经历的成为肉体、钉死与复活,也都由这实际的灵实化为基督身体的实际经历。原本是三一神成为肉体,钉十字架,并且复活,但实际的灵来了,把三一神的这些经历都实化到我们身上来,成了我们实际的经历。因这缘故,我们今天在地上也能过一个正当的人生。当消极的事物临到我们时,我们都能以基督死的性能来处置。我们不生气,不怨人,更不责备人,因为借着实际的灵,基督的死实化到我们身上。不仅如此,那灵带同基督的复活也作工在我们里面,使我们还能爱人、赦免人。这些都是实际的灵把三一神自己所经历的实化到召会身上,而成为召会的实际经历。这也就是三一神实际的灵作了基督身体的实际。

  基督身体的素质与实际,都是在于那经过过程、终极完成之三一神的那灵。……那灵就是素质的实际,也是实际所属于的素质。素质重在里面的质地;实际重在外面的实现。那灵既是基督身体的内在质地,也就是基督身体的外在实现。无论是里面的素质、质地,还是外面的实际、实现,都是出于那灵的。这灵就是经过过程的三一神之于基督身体一切的秘诀。譬如说,神爱基督的身体,要使基督的身体成圣,并要加强基督的身体,这些的秘诀就在于那实际的灵;乃是那实际的灵把神的爱实化到基督的身体上,使其成圣,并得着加强。

  如今,这灵住在我们得重生的灵里,与我们的灵联结为一灵(罗八9~11上,林前六17)。祂不仅在我们里面,祂还与我们的灵联结成一灵。为此,我们就要操练,将我们全人转向这联结的灵,并放置在这联结的灵上(罗八6下),……照着这联结的灵生活、行动(4)。我们说话、行事、待人、接物,都照着这联结的灵,连我们在家庭生活中,与家人谈话都要照着这灵。我们这样活在这联结的灵里,就能活出基督的身体,而成为基督团体的彰显(弗一23)(对基督身体的透视,三一至三四页)。

  Furthermore, all that the Triune God experienced, including incarnation, crucifixion, and resurrection, are likewise realized by this Spirit of reality to be the real experiences of the Body of Christ. Originally, it was the Triune God who was incarnated, crucified, and resurrected. But when the Spirit of reality came, He made these experiences of the Triune God real in us as our real experiences. Because of this we can live a normal human life on the earth today. We can deal with the negative matters that befall us by the capacity of the death of Christ. We do not lose our temper, nor do we blame or rebuke others, because the death of Christ is realized in us through the Spirit of reality. Moreover, the Spirit with the resurrection of Christ works in us to enable us to love and forgive others. These are all examples of how the experiences of the Triune God Himself have been realized in the church by the Spirit of reality to be the real experiences of the church. This is the Spirit of the reality of the Triune God becoming the reality of the Body of Christ.

  Both the essence and the reality of the Body of Christ are altogether matters of the Spirit of the processed and consummated Triune God.…The Spirit is the reality of the essence as well as the essence to which the reality belongs. Essence emphasizes the inward substance, and reality emphasizes the outward realization. Because the Spirit is the inward substance of the Body of Christ, He is also its outward realization. Both the inward essence and substance and the outward reality and realization are of the Spirit. This Spirit is the secret to all that the Triune God is to the Body of Christ. For instance, the secret to God's loving the Body of Christ, sanctifying it, and strengthening it, is with the Spirit of reality. It is the Spirit of reality who makes God's love real in the Body of Christ so that it may be sanctified and strengthened.

  This Spirit now dwells in our regenerated spirit and is joined to our spirit as one spirit (Rom. 8:9-11a; 1 Cor. 6:17). He is not only in us but also joined with our spirit to become one spirit with us. We must therefore exercise to turn our whole being to this joined spirit and set our mind on it (Rom. 8:6b).…We should also live and walk according to this joined spirit (v. 4). We must speak, do things, treat others, and deal with matters according to this joined spirit. We should talk to our family members in our home life according to this spirit. When we live in this joined spirit, we will be able to live out the Body of Christ and become His corporate expression (Eph. 1:23). (CWWL, 1990, vol. 2, “A Thorough View of the Body of Christ, “pp. 130-132)
