约四23~24　时候将到，如今就是了，那真正敬拜父的，要在灵和真实里敬拜祂，因为父寻找这样敬拜祂的人。神是灵；敬拜祂的，必须在灵和真实里敬拜。

　　〔在〕约翰福音，…真实是指神圣的实际成了人的真实、真诚，（与不道德之撒玛利亚敬拜者的假冒为善相对—四16~18，）为着对神真实的敬拜。神圣的实际乃是基督，祂是实际，（十四6，）是旧约为着敬拜神之一切祭物的实际；（约一29，三14；）…〔这神圣的实际〕至终成了〔信徒〕的真实和真诚，借此，他们以神所要的敬拜来敬拜祂。（圣经恢复本，约四24注5。）

　　John 4:23-24 But an hour is coming, and it is now, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truthfulness, for the Father also seeks such to worship Him. God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truthfulness.

　　[In] John’s Gospel, truthfulness…denotes the divine reality becoming man’s genuineness and sincerity (which are the opposite of the hypocrisy of the immoral Samaritan worshipper—4:16-18) for the true worship of God. The divine reality is Christ (who is the reality—14:6) as the reality of all the offerings of the Old Testament for the worship of God (1:29; 3:14)….[This divine reality] eventually becomes their genuineness and sincerity in which they worship God with the worship that He seeks. (John 4:24, footnote 5)

　　那完全为着神满足的燔祭，（利一3，）预表基督是神的喜悦和满足。主耶稣在地上时，使神喜悦并满足，因为祂总是行神的旨意，（约四34，五30，六38，）寻求祂的荣耀。（七16~18。）…因此，祂使神喜悦并满足。素祭（利二1）预表在人性里的基督作神的食物，尤其是作那些与神交通并事奉祂之人的食物。基督在祂的人性里是我们的食物，和恒久的满足。…素祭是用调油的细面作的。（4。）细面连同其均匀和细致，预表基督完美的人性连同其平衡、均匀和细致。四福音描绘主在为人生活中的行为。与细面调和的油表征神圣的灵。这调和预表在主耶稣里面神性与人性的调和。素祭所加的乳香，（利二15，）表征复活生命的馨香。这是由素祭所预表的基督，就是人性与神性调和，连同复活生命馨香的表显，作我们日常的滋养和供应。

　　平安祭（三1）预表基督是成就和平者。（弗二15。）…因为没有基督，宇宙中就不能有和平，所以我们需要祂作我们的平安祭。基督‘借着祂在十字架上的血，成就了和平’。（西一20。）如今基督是平安祭这预表的应验，乃是我们与神并与人彼此的和平。（弗二14。）借着基督并在基督里，我们与神并与人有了和平。…在预表里，平安祭是神与事奉者的食物。今天，在实际里，我们同神能享受基督作甜美、满足人的平安祭。

　　赎罪祭（利四3）预表基督是死在十字架上，对付我们堕落之人罪性的那一位。基督是赎罪祭，对付了住在我们里面的罪。（罗七20。）…这罪实际上就是撒但邪恶的性情。因为我们是有罪的，甚至是罪本身，我们需要基督作我们的赎罪祭。基督是赎罪祭这预表的实际，神使祂这不知罪的，‘替我们成为罪。’（林后五21。）…在祂里面，我们有罪的性情受了审判。

　　基督也由赎愆祭所预表。（利五6。）…在十字架上，基督在神面前担当我们一切的过犯。‘祂在木头上，在祂的身体里，亲自担当了我们的罪。’（彼前二24。）…基督作赎罪祭，为我们成了罪（单数）；但祂作赎愆祭，担当我们的罪（复数）。

　　摇祭预表基督是复活的一位。…复活的基督在‘摇’；那就是说，祂是活的。

　　奠祭预表基督在神面前浇奠出来作真正的酒，使神满足。…‘祂将命倾倒，以至于死。’〔赛五三12。〕…基督在祂的死里，将自己献给神作供物，应验一切供物的预表。（新约总论第二册，二七五至二七八页。）

　　The burnt offering (Lev. 1:3), which was wholly for God’s satisfaction, typifies Christ as God’s pleasure and satisfaction. When the Lord Jesus was on earth, He made God happy and satisfied Him because He always did God’s will (John 4:34; 5:30; 6:38) and sought His glory (John 7:16-18)….Therefore, He pleased God and satisfied Him. The meal offering (Lev. 2:1) typifies Christ in His humanity as food for God and especially for those who have fellowship with God and serve Him. In His humanity Christ is our food and constant satisfaction. The meal offering was made of fine flour mingled with oil (Lev. 2:4). The fine flour, with its evenness and fineness, typifies Christ’s perfect humanity with its balance, evenness, and fineness. The four Gospels portray the fineness of the Lord’s behavior in His human living. The oil mingled with the fine flour signifies the divine Spirit. This mingling typifies the mingling of divinity with humanity in the Lord Jesus. The frankincense added to the meal offering (Lev. 2:15) signifies the fragrance of resurrection life. This is Christ typified by the meal offering, the mingling of humanity and divinity with the fragrant manifestation of resurrection life to be our daily nourishment and supply.

　　The peace offering (Lev. 3:1) typifies Christ as the Peacemaker (Eph. 2:15)…. Because there can be no peace in the universe without Christ, we need Him to be our peace offering. Christ has “made peace through the blood of His cross” (Col. 1:20). Now as the fulfillment of the type of the peace offering, Christ is our peace (Eph. 2:14) with God and with one another. Through Him and in Him we have peace with God and man…. In typology, the peace offering was food for God and the serving ones. Today, in reality, we with God may enjoy Christ as the sweet, satisfying peace offering.

　　The sin offering (Lev. 4:3) is a type of Christ as the One who died on the cross to deal with the sinful nature of our fallen being. As the sin offering, Christ has dealt with the sin that dwells in us (Rom. 7:20)….This sin is actually the evil nature of Satan. Because we are sinful, even sin itself, we need Christ to be our sin offering. As the reality of the type of the sin offering, Christ, who did not know sin, was “made sin on our behalf” by God (2 Cor. 5:21)…. In Him our sinful nature has been judged.

　　Christ is also typified by the trespass offering (Lev. 5:6)…. On the cross Christ bore all our trespasses before God. He “Himself bore up our sins in His body on the tree” (1 Pet. 2:24)…. As the sin offering Christ was made sin for us, but as the trespass offering He bore our sins.

　　The wave offering typifies Christ as the resurrected One…. The resurrected Christ is “waving”; that is, He is living.

　　The drink offering typifies Christ as the One poured out as real wine before God for His satisfaction [Isa. 53:12]. In His death Christ offered Himself to God as the offering that fulfills all the types of the offerings. (The Conclusion of the New Testament, pp. 459-462)
