诗四八2 在北面的锡安山，是大君王的城，居高华美，为全地所喜悦。

　　　11~12 因你的判断，锡安山应当快乐，犹大的女子应当欢腾。你们当周游锡安，四围旋绕，数点城楼。

　　锡安，大卫王的城（撒下五7），是耶路撒冷城的中心，就是那作神在地上居所的殿建造的所在（诗九11，七四2，七六2下，一三五21，赛八18）。耶路撒冷内的锡安，预表作属天耶路撒冷的召会里的团体得胜者，就是得成全并成熟的神人（来十二22，启十四1~5）。锡安作为圣城耶路撒冷的高峰和美丽（诗四八2，五十2），预表得胜者是召会的高峰、中心、拔高、加强、丰富、美丽和实际（四八2、11~12，二十2，五三6上，八七2）。得胜者作为锡安，乃是基督身体的实际，并且终极完成众地方召会中身体的建造，带进永世里终极完成的圣城新耶路撒冷，就是作神居所的至圣所（启二一1~3、16、22）。在新天新地里，整个新耶路撒冷将成为锡安，所有的信徒都是得胜者（7与注1）（圣经恢复本，诗四八2注1）。

　　Psa. 48:2 Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, is Mount Zion, the sides of the north, the city of the great King.

　　11-12 Let Mount Zion rejoice; let the daughters of Judah exult because of Your judgments. Walk about Zion, and go around her; count her towers.

　　Zion was the city of King David (2 Sam. 5:7), the center of the city of Jerusalem, where the temple as God’s dwelling place on earth was built (Psa. 9:11; 74:2; 76:2b; 135:21; Isa. 8:18). Zion within Jerusalem typifies the body of overcomers, the perfected and matured God-men, within the church as the heavenly Jerusalem (Heb. 12:22; Rev. 14:1-5). As the highlight and beauty of the holy city Jerusalem (Psa. 48:2; 50:2), Zion typifies the overcomers as the high peak, the center, the uplifting, the strengthening, the enriching, the beauty, and the reality of the church (48:2, 11-12; 20:2; 53:6a; 87:2). The overcomers as Zion are the reality of the Body of Christ and consummate the building up of the Body in the local churches to bring in the consummated holy city, New Jerusalem, the Holy of Holies as God’s dwelling place, in eternity (Rev. 21:1-3, 16, 22). In the new heaven and new earth the entire New Jerusalem will become Zion, with all the believers as overcomers (Rev. 21:7 and footnote 1). (Psa. 48:2, footnote 1)

　　召会生活是你作得胜者正确的地方。但这不是说，只要你在召会生活中，你就是得胜者。在召会生活中是一回事，在召会生活中作得胜者是另一回事。

　　在旧约里，有耶路撒冷城，以锡安为其中心。……召会生活是今日的耶路撒冷；在召会生活里必须有一班得胜者，这些得胜者乃是今日的锡安。按照启示录十四章，得胜者是与主一同站在锡安山上（1~5）。按预表说，得胜者事实上就是今日的锡安。……没有锡安（得胜者），耶路撒冷（召会生活）就无法保守并维持。

　　锡安是圣城召会的高峰、中心、高举、加强、丰富和实际。在一个地方召会里如果没有得胜者，那个召会就像耶路撒冷没有锡安一样。……一个地方召会必须有一些得胜者，这些得胜者是那个地方召会的高峰和中心。他们是那个地方召会的高举、加强、丰富和实际。……一个召会一旦有一些全时间服事者作得胜者，那个召会就像耶路撒冷有锡安作高峰。得胜者像锡安，乃是召会的高峰、中心和实际。

　　得胜者作今日的锡安，乃是为着终极完成圣城（召会）。他们要终极完成地方召会的建造，并带进永世里终极完成的新耶路撒冷（二一1~2）。为了要完成基督身体的建造，主需要得胜者，而这身体的建造乃是终极完成于新耶路撒冷。所以在圣经的末了，就是在最后一卷书里，有向得胜者的呼召。今天要成为有活力的路，乃是答应主的呼召，作得胜者。

　　今天在我们面前有两条路。我们可以选择有活力，也可以选择不要有活力。我把这两条路摆在我们面前。我们要走哪一条路？我们要有活力么？我们必须立志。在士师记五章十五节底波拉说，“在流便的族系中，有心中定大志的。”我们必须立志作得胜者，就是有活力的人。得胜者要胜过一切顶替基督，或反对基督的事物。在圣经里有得胜者的时代，也有向得胜者的呼召。不仅如此，我们也有路可以有活力，使我们能作得胜者（活力排的训练与实行，三五至三七页）。

　　The church life is the right place for you to be an overcomer. But this does not mean that as long as you are in the church life, you are an overcomer. It is one thing to be in the church life. It is another thing to be an overcomer in the church life.

　　In the Old Testament there was the city of Jerusalem with Zion as the center….The church life is today’s Jerusalem; within the church life there must be a group of overcomers, and these overcomers are today’s Zion. According to Revelation 14, the overcomers are standing on Mount Zion with the Lord (vv. 1-5). Actually, in typology the overcomers are today’s Zion….Without Zion (the overcomers), Jerusalem (the church life) cannot be kept and maintained.

　　Zion is the high peak, the center, the uplifting, the strengthening, the enriching, and the reality of the church, the holy city. If there are no overcomers in a local church, that church is like Jerusalem without Zion….A local church must have some overcomers, and these overcomers are the peak and the center of that local church. They are the uplifting, the strengthening, the enriching, and the reality of that local church….Once a church has some full-time workers as overcomers, that church is like Jerusalem with the peak of Zion. The overcomers as Zion are the highlight, the center, and the reality of the church.

　　The overcomers as today’s Zion are for the consummation of the holy city (the church). They are to consummate, to finish, the building up of the local church and to bring in the consummated New Jerusalem in eternity (21:1-2). In order to complete the building up of the Body, the Lord needs the overcomers, and the building up of the Body consummates in the New Jerusalem. This is why at the end of the Bible, in the last book, there is the calling for the overcomers. Today the way to become vitalized is to answer the Lord’s call to be an overcomer.

　　There are two ways before us today. We can either choose to be vitalized or choose not to be vitalized. I am presenting these two ways before us. Which way will we take? Are we going to be vitalized or not? We have to make a resolution. In Judges 5:15 Deborah said, “Among the divisions of Reuben / There were great resolutions in heart.” We have to make a resolution to be the overcomers, the vitalized ones. An overcomer overcomes anything that replaces Christ or that is against Christ. In the Bible there is the age of the overcomers, and there is the calling for the overcomers. Furthermore, there is a way for us to be vitalized so that we can be the overcomers. (CWWL, 1993, vol. 2, “The Training and the Practice of the Vital Groups,” pp. 274-275)
