结三七4~5　…你〔以西结〕要向这些骸骨申言说，枯干的骸骨啊，要听耶和华的话。…我必使气息进入你们里面，你们就要活了。

　　7　　　　　　…正申言的时候，就有响声，…有震动；骸骨彼此接近，骨与骨联络。

　　10　　　　　…气息就进入骸骨，骸骨便活了，并且站起来，成为极大的军队。

　　以弗所一章十节提到将万有归一于一个元首之下。但这一节不是单独的，乃是三至九节的延续。这指明将万有归一于一个元首之下，乃是三至九节所说一切项目的结果；这些项目乃是：拣选、预定、神恩典的荣耀得着称赞、在爱子里蒙恩赐、得了救赎和赦免，并且得着神用全般的智慧和明达向我们洋溢的恩典。九节说到神意愿的奥秘，是照着祂的喜悦，这喜悦是祂在自己里面预先定下的。…十节中的‘归一于一个元首之下’这话，与前面各节所说的事都有关系。这意思是说，神拣选我们，好使祂将万有在基督里归一于一个元首之下。祂预定我们得儿子的名分，好使祂将万有在基督里归一于一个元首之下。祂借着基督的血为我们完成救赎，好使祂将万有在基督里归一于一个元首之下。神已经使我们蒙恩赐，并用全般的智慧和明达，使恩典向我们洋溢，好使祂将万有在基督里归一于一个元首之下。将万有在基督里归一于一个元首之下，乃是所有这些事的结果。（以弗所书生命读经，八六至八七页。）

　　Ezek. 37:4-5 …Prophesy over these bones, and say to them, O dry bones, hear the word of Jehovah….I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live.

　　7 …As I prophesied, there was a noise,…a rattling; and the bones came together, bone to its bone.

　　10 …And the breath came into them; and they lived and stood up upon their feet, an exceedingly great army.

　　The heading up of all things is mentioned in Ephesians 1:10. But this verse does not stand alone; it is the continuation of verses 3 through 9. This indicates that the heading up of all things is the issue of all the items covered in verses 3 through 9: selection, predestination, the praise of the glory of God’s grace, being graced in the Beloved, having redemption and forgiveness, and having God’s grace abound to us in all wisdom and prudence. Verse 9 speaks of the mystery of God’s will according to the good pleasure which He purposed in Himself….The infinitive to head up in verse 10 is related to all the preceding things in the foregoing verses. This means that God chose us that He may head up all things in Christ. He predestinated us unto sonship that He may head up all things in Christ. He accomplished redemption for us through the blood of Christ in order to head up all things in Christ. God has graced us and caused grace to abound to us in all wisdom and prudence that He may head up all things in Christ. The heading up of all things in Christ is the issue of all these things. (Life-study of Ephesians, pp. 72-73)

　　许多基督徒从来不知道，神拣选我们、预定我们、救赎我们、赦免我们、并恩赐我们，目的是为着将万有在基督里归一于一个元首之下。…基督徒也许知道很多关乎神的拣选和预定的事，却不知道这些事与万有在基督里归一于一个元首之下有什么关系。…甚至召会也不是终极的目标，终极的目标乃是将万有在基督里归一于一个元首之下。召会虽然是目标，但…终极的目标乃是将万有在基督里归一于一个元首之下。〔弗一22。〕

　　崩溃是来自死的因素，站立是来自生命的因素。当死的因素造成崩溃，我们全人的各部分就彼此离散。以西结三十七章中的枯骨说明了这点。那些骸骨又死又枯干时，乃是离散的；但是当气息进到它们里面，它们就活了，站起来，并且联络在一起。（4~10。）这个站立与联络，实际上就是归一于一个元首之下。先前，骸骨是叠成一堆的，每一块都与身体分离；但是当生命之气进到这些死的骸骨中，它们首先站起来，然后彼此联络。此后它们成了一个身体，甚至成为一支军队。这就是归一于一个元首之下的意思。

　　我们…该…把这个…在我们经历的光中来思想。我们很多人能作见证，我们曾是离散的，并在宇宙性的崩溃所造成的乱堆里。但是有一天，生命的因素进到我们里面，我们就站立并联络起来。进入召会生活之后，我们深深觉得我们是越过越站得正直，越过越得以联络。这就是在基督里归一于一个元首之下。然而，许多时候，死亡的权势甚至在召会里作工，把死亡的因素注射到召会的肢体里。当死亡的因素进入某些肢体里，他们就中了毒，并把死的毒素散布给别人。这些亲爱的肢体再次落在崩溃混乱里，因而不再归一于一个元首之下。但是，赞美主，最终生命的因素又临到他们！当他们吸入生命之气，生命的因素就进到他们里面，他们又站起来，又再次得以联络，并经历归一于一个元首之下。（以弗所书生命读经，八七、一○一至一○二页。）

　　Many Christians have never realized that God has chosen us, predestinated us, redeemed us, forgiven us, and graced us for the purpose of heading up all things in Christ….Christians may know a great deal about God’s selection and predestination without knowing how these are related to the heading up of all things in Christ….The ultimate goal is not even the church; it is the heading up of all things in Christ. Yes, the church is the goal, but …the consummate goal is the heading up of all things in Christ.

　　The collapse comes from the factor of death, and the rising up comes from the factor of life. When the factor of death causes a collapse, all the parts of our being become detached from one another. This is illustrated by the dry bones in Ezekiel 37. When those bones were dead and dry, they were detached. But when the breath entered into them, they became living, they rose up, and they were attached (Ezek. 37:4-10). This rising up and attaching is actually the heading up. Formerly, the bones were piled in a heap, each of them detached from the body. But when the breath of life entered into these dead bones, they firstly rose up and then became attached to one another. After this they became a body, and even an army. This is what it means to be headed up.

　　We should …consider [this] in the light of our experience. Many of us can testify that we used to be detached and in the heap caused by the universal collapse. But one day the factor of life came into us, and we rose up and became attached. After coming into the church life, we had the deep sense that we were more and more upright and that we were becoming more attached. This is the heading up in Christ. A number of times, however, the power of death has worked even in the church to inject the factor of death into the members of the church. When the factor of death gets into certain members, they are poisoned and spread the poison of death to others. Once again these dear ones collapse into a heap and are thus far removed from being headed up. But, praise the Lord, the factor of life eventually reaches them again! When the breath of life is breathed into them and the factor of life enters into them, they rise up once more, become reattached, and experience being headed up. (Life-study of Ephesians, pp. 73, 84-85)
