The Supply of the Body, the Members of the Body, and the Limitation of the Body
« 周 纲目 »
壹 身体的供应乃是复合的膏油(圣膏油)所预表耶稣基督之灵全备的供应—腓一19~21上,出三十23~25:
Ⅰ The supply of the Body is the bountiful supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, typified by the compound ointment, the holy anointing oil—Phil. 1:19-21a; Exo. 30:23-25:
一 复合的灵是在身体里并为着身体,也是为着那建造身体的祭司事奉—26~31节,罗十五16,彼前二5、9。
A The compound Spirit is in and for the Body and for the priestly service that builds up the Body—vv. 26-31; Rom. 15:16; 1 Pet. 2:5, 9.
二 按照诗篇一百三十三篇,弟兄们在一里同居,有无法估计的善与无法计算的美,这好比那复合、贵重的膏油—弗四3。
B According to Psalm 133, the inestimable goodness and incalculable pleasantness of brothers dwelling together in oneness is likened to the compound precious ointment—Eph. 4:3.

诗一三三1~2 看哪,弟兄和睦同居,是何等的善,何等的美!这好比那上好的油,浇在亚伦的头上,流到胡须,又流到他的衣襟。

  腓一19 因为我知道,这事借着你们的祈求,和耶稣基督之灵全备的供应,终必叫我得救。

  在诗篇一百三十三篇,信徒在一里同居,其善无法估计,好比上好的油浇在亚伦的头上;其美无法计算,好比黑门的甘露降在锡安山(圣经恢复本,诗一三三1注3)。

  膏油不是为着个人,而是为着身体。凡是与身体分离的、脱节的,都无法经历这膏油。根据诗篇一百三十三篇的图画,膏油是浇在亚伦的头上,然后扩散到胡须,再流淌到衣襟。这指明如果我们是单独的,我们就无法经历膏油。……如果与召会是一,那我们在家中就能适当地与主有接触。但我们如果离开召会,我们与主的接触就完全两样了。因为膏油不是为着单独的肢体,而是为着头和身体,甚至是为着头同着身体(CWWL一九七九年第二册,三九三页)。
  Psa. 133:1-2 "Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to dwell in unity! It is like the fine oil upon the head that ran down upon the beard, upon Aaron's beard, that ran down upon the hem of his garments."

  Phil. 1:19 "For I know that for me this will turn out to salvation through your petition and the bountiful supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ."

  In Psalm 133 the believers' dwelling together in oneness is likened to the inestimable goodness of the precious ointment on the head of Aaron and to the incalculable pleasantness of the dew of Hermon on the mountains of Zion.(Psa.133:1, footnote 2)

  The ointment is not for individuals; it is for the Body. It cannot be experienced by those who are separate and detached from the Body. According to the picture in Psalm 133, the ointment is upon the head. Then it spreads to the beard and goes down to the hem of the garment. This indicates that if we are individualistic, we cannot experience the ointment.…If we are one with the church, then we can properly contact the Lord alone at home. But if we separate ourselves from the church, our contact with the Lord will be altogether different. The reason is that the anointing oil is not for individualistic members; it is for the Head and the Body, even for the Head with the Body.

  〔在腓立比一章十九节,〕“你们的祈求”是指明身体的供应。表面看来保罗在监牢里;实际上他在身体里。监禁没有使他与身体隔离,或使他与身体的供应隔绝。保罗里面有清楚的感觉,他是在身体里,身体的众肢体在供应他,扶持他,并与他站在一起。

  在十九节保罗首先说到圣徒们的祈求,然后说到那灵全备的供应。……保罗说到那灵全备的供应以前,先说到身体的供应,原因是那灵在身体上。诗篇一百三十三篇说明这点:浇在亚伦头上的油流到他的身体。这描绘出一个事实:那油,复合之灵全备的供应,乃是在身体上。保罗领悟他不是整个身体,而只是身体上的一个肢体。他是肢体,需要身体的供应。身体若起来供应他,那灵全备的供应就会借着身体临到他。

  我们也许常请某弟兄为我们祷告。但即使他为我们祷告,我们也为他祷告,这祷告却可能少有功效。缺少功效的原因,乃是我们在祷告上也许离开了身体。每当我们离开身体而祷告的时候,甚至我们的祷告也会枯干,我们的代求也会没有功效。膏油涂抹不是个别地在我们身上,乃是在身体上。

  照着出埃及三十章,复合的膏油是为着涂抹帐幕和祭司的。我们要领悟,复合的灵,耶稣基督的灵,是为着身体,神的帐幕,并为着对神的事奉,祭司体系,这是非常重要的。因着今天许多基督徒与基督的身体和祭司的事奉隔绝,他们要有分于那灵全备的供应就极其困难。

  保罗活在身体里。他虽是个了不起的使徒,仍需要圣徒们的祷告和祈求。这清楚指明保罗与身体有正确的关系。不但如此,保罗也有分于祭司体系。因着他在身体(帐幕)里,因着他是祭司体系(对神的事奉)的一部分,他就在正确的地位上,接受身体上膏油的流淌。……我们若与召会是一,并留在祭司的事奉里,我们就享受包罗万有之灵丰富的涂抹。甚至一点祷告或呼求主名,可能只说“阿们”,就使我们享受这涂抹(腓立比书生命读经,三四○至三四一、三四六至三四七页)。

  [In Philippians 1:19] the phrase your petition indicates the supply of the Body. Apparently Paul was in prison; actually he was in the Body. Imprisonment did not isolate him from the Body or cut him off from the supply of the Body. Paul had the clear sense within that he was in the Body and that the members of the Body were supplying him, supporting him, and standing with him.

  In 1:19 Paul speaks first of the saints' petition, then of the bountiful supply of the Spirit.…The reason Paul speaks of the supply of the Body before the bountiful supply of the Spirit is that the Spirit is upon the Body. Psalm 133 illustrates this: the ointment poured upon Aaron's head flowed down to the body. This portrays the fact that the ointment, the bountiful supply of the compound Spirit, is upon the Body. Paul realized that he was not the whole Body, but just a member of the Body. As a member, he needed the Body's supply. If the Body would be exercised to supply him, the bountiful supply of the Spirit would come to him through the Body.

  We may often ask a brother to pray for us. But even if he prays for us and we pray for him, this prayer may have little effect. The reason for this lack of effectiveness is that in praying we may stand apart from the Body. Whenever we stand apart from the Body as we pray, even our prayer will be dry, and our intercession will be ineffective. The anointing is not upon us individually; it is upon the Body.

  According to Exodus 30, the compound ointment was for the anointing of the tabernacle and the priests. It is very important to realize that the compound Spirit, the Spirit of Jesus Christ, is for the Body, God's tabernacle, and for God's service, the priesthood. Because so many Christians today are cut off from the Body and from the priestly service, it is extremely difficult for them to share the bountiful supply of the Spirit.

  Paul lived in the Body. Although he was a wonderful apostle, he still needed the prayers and petitions of the saints. This is a clear indication that Paul had a right relationship with the Body. Furthermore, Paul also shared in the priesthood. Because he was in the Body, the tabernacle, and because he was part of the priesthood, God's service, he was in a proper position to receive the flow of the ointment which is upon the Body. If we are one with the church and stay in the priestly service, we enjoy the rich anointing of the all-inclusive Spirit. Even a little praying or calling on the name of the Lord, perhaps simply saying Amen, causes us to enjoy this anointing. (Life-study of Philippians, pp. 286-287, 291-292)
