腓三10~11　……模成祂的死，或者我可以达到那从死人中杰出的复活。

　　14　向着标竿竭力追求，要得神在基督耶稣里，召我向上去得的奖赏。

　　那从死人中杰出的复活，即卓越的复活，特殊的复活，这是要给得胜圣徒的奖赏。所有在基督里死了的信徒，在主回来时，都要从死人中复活（帖前四16，林前十五52）。但得胜的圣徒，要享受那复活特殊、杰出的分。这就是希伯来十一章三十五节所提“更美的复活”。更美的复活不仅是头一次的复活（启二十4~6），生命的复活（约五28~29），并且是杰出的复活（腓三11），特殊的复活，就是主的得胜者要在其中得着国度赏赐的复活。这是使徒保罗所追求的。

　　达到杰出的复活，意即我们全人已在逐渐不断地复活。神首先使我们死了的灵复活（弗二5~6），然后祂从我们的灵，继续使我们的魂（罗八6）和必死的身体（11）复活，直到我们的全人—灵、魂、体—借着并同着祂的生命，从我们的旧人完全复活过来。这是我们在生命里必经的历程，也是我们当跑的赛程，直到我们达到杰出的复活，作为奖赏。因此，杰出的复活，该是我们基督徒生活的目标和目的。我们唯有借着过钉十字架的生活，模成基督的死，才能达到这目标。在基督的死里，我们凭着复活，经过从旧造到新造的过程（腓立比书生命读经，二二四至二二五页）。

　　Phil. 3:10-11 ...Being conformed to His death, if perhaps I may attain to the out-resurrection from the dead.

　　14 I pursue toward the goal for the prize to which God in Christ Jesus has called me upward.

　　The out-resurrection from the dead denotes the outstanding resurrection, the extra-resurrection, which will be a prize to the overcoming saints. All believers who are dead in Christ will participate in the resurrection from the dead at the Lord's coming back (1 Thes. 4:16; 1 Cor. 15:52). But the overcoming saints will enjoy an extra, outstanding portion of that resurrection. This is the “better resurrection” mentioned in Hebrews 11:35. The better resurrection is not only “the first resurrection” (Rev. 20:4-6), “the resurrection of life” (John 5:28-29), but also the out-resurrection, the resurrection in which the Lord's overcomers will receive the reward of the kingdom, which the apostle Paul sought after.

　　To arrive at the out-resurrection means that our entire being has been gradually and continually resurrected. God first resurrected our deadened spirit (Eph. 2:5-6). Then from our spirit He proceeds to resurrect our soul (Rom. 8:6) and our mortal body (Rom. 8:11), until our entire being—spirit, soul, and body—is fully resurrected out of our old being by His life and with His life. This is a process in life through which we must pass and a race for us to run until we arrive at the out-resurrection as the prize. Hence, the out-resurrection should be the goal and destination of our Christian life. We can only reach this goal by being conformed to the death of Christ, by living a crucified life. In the death of Christ we are processed in resurrection from the old creation to the new. (Life-study of Philippians, pp. 188-189)

　　保罗向着标竿竭力追求，为要得着奖赏。基督是标竿，也是奖赏。标竿是最完满的享受基督，赢得基督；奖赏是在千年国里对基督极点的享受。这要作奔跑新约赛程之得胜者的赏赐。为了达到标竿，得着奖赏，保罗操练忘记背后，努力面前的。

　　要得着这一分的复活，就是杰出的复活，我们必须竭力追求，奔跑赛程，并得胜地跑完我们的路程。……我们和保罗一样蒙了重生，但我们还没有在生命里完全或成熟。我们悔改相信的时候，就被基督赢得，好叫我们赢得祂。现今我们是还没有得着，还没有完全的人，我们一直竭力追求基督。……竭力追求基督的路，第一面是我们不认为自己已经得着了。在这之后，我们需要作一件事：忘记背后，努力面前的。……这杰出的复活可用高中毕业班一些人的经历来说明。毕业的时候，一些卓越的学生会享受特殊的分。……同样，所有在主回来以前死了的信徒都要复活，但有些人会享受特别的复活，卓越的复活。

　　我们不该仅仅满意于圣经的知识，……“竭力追求”〔腓三12〕，原文也可译为逼迫。保罗在得救前，是逼迫基督；得救后，他竭力追求基督到一个地步，我们甚至可说他也是逼迫基督，不过是在正面上。逼迫人就是搅扰他，不肯放他过去。……我们全人同一切的力量都该消耗于竭力追求基督。我盼望我们中间许多人会有深刻的印象，需要竭力追求基督，并且被挑旺起来，甚至以逼迫的方式寻求祂。不要让基督离开你，却要寻求祂，竭力追求祂，以这种正面的方式逼迫祂。这样，你就会赢得祂（腓立比书生命读经，二三○至二三二、二三五至二三六页）。

　　参读：腓立比书生命读经，第二十三、五十三至五十四篇；经历基督，第九、十九章。

　　Paul was pursuing toward the goal for the prize. Christ is both the goal and the prize. The goal is the fullest enjoyment and gain of Christ, and the prize is the uttermost enjoyment of Christ in the millennial kingdom as a reward to the victorious runners of the New Testament race. In order to reach the goal for the prize, Paul was exercised to forget the things which are behind and to stretch forward to the things which are before.

　　In order to have the extra portion of resurrection, ...called the out-resurrection, we must pursue, run the race, and finish our course triumphantly. Like Paul, we have been regenerated, but we are not yet perfected, or matured, in life. At the time of our conversion, we were gained by Christ so that we may gain Him. Now as those who have not yet obtained and who have not yet been perfected, we are pursuing Christ. The first aspect of the way to pursue Christ is that we do not consider ourselves to have gained. Following this, we need to do one thing: forget the things which are behind and stretch forward to the things which are before. [The] out-resurrection can be illustrated by the experience of a few members of a high school graduating class. At the time of graduation, a few outstanding students will enjoy an extra portion.... In like manner, all believers who die before the Lord comes back will be resurrected, but some will enjoy an extraordinary resurrection, an outstanding resurrection.

　　We should not be satisfied simply with Bible knowledge....The Greek word for pursue can also be translated “persecute.” Before Paul was saved, he was persecuting Christ in a negative way. After he was saved, he pursued Christ to such an extent we may even say he persecuted Christ, but in a very positive way. To persecute a person is to trouble him and refuse to let him go....Our whole being with all of our strength should be consumed in pursuing Christ. I hope that many among us will be impressed with the need to pursue Christ and be stirred up to seek Him even in a persecuting way. Do not allow Christ to get away from you, but seek Him, pursue Him, persecute Him in such a positive way. Then you will gain Him. (Life-study of Philippians, pp. 194-195, 198)
