３ 我们需要走我们先祖所行的古道，行在以神的经纶为中心之新约的路上，就是引到生命的路上；小路是撒但诡计的路，照着他诡诈的诡计而引到败坏；行小路乃是往下走，但行古道，就是行修筑的路，乃是往上行—耶十八15，参太七13~14。 |
３ We need to take the ancient paths of our forefathers by walking in the way of the new covenant focused on the economy of God, the way that leads to life; the bypaths are the paths of Satan’s schemes according to his devious stratagems that lead to destruction; to take the bypaths is to go downward, but to take the ancient paths, a way that is cast up, is to go upward—Jer. 18:15; cf. Matt. 7:13-14. |
４ 在新约，就是永远的约里，神赐给我们一个心和一条路（耶三二39~41）；一个心就是要爱神、寻求神、活神并被神构成，使我们成为祂的彰显；一条路就是三一神自己作为内里生命的律连同其神圣的性能（三一33~34）；这一个心和一条路就是同心合意（徒一14，二46，四24，罗十五6）。 |
４ In the new covenant, the eternal covenant, God gives us one heart and one way (Jer. 32:39-41); the one heart is a heart to love God, to seek God, to live God, and to be constituted with God so that we may be His expression; the one way is the Triune God Himself as the inner law of life with its divine capacity (31:33-34); this one heart and one way are the one accord (Acts 1:14; 2:46; 4:24; Rom. 15:6). |

耶三一33~34 ……我与以色列家所立的约，乃是这样：我要将我的律法放在他们里面，写在他们心上；我要作他们的神，他们要作我的子民。……因为他们从最小的到至大的，都必认识我，因为我要赦免他们的罪孽，不再记念他们的罪；这是耶和华说的。 在耶利米三十一章，耶利米立下新约的根基，预言神要将祂的律法放在我们里面；祂要将祂的律法写在我们的心思里，使我们认识神；神要作我们的神，我们要作祂的子民；我们不需要任何人教导我们，因为我们里面都有教导的生命；神要赦免我们的罪孽，不再记念我们的罪。在新约里，我们享受内里生命的律。这生命的律带给我们神的人位，也带给我们神圣生命的神圣性能，这能为神成就一切，以完成祂的经纶。借着内里生命的律，我们有性能认识神、活神，甚至在神的生命和性情上被祂构成，使我们成为祂团体的彰显（耶利米书生命读经，三○九至三一○页）。 |
Jer. 31:33-34 But this is the covenant…: I will put My law in their inward parts and write it upon their hearts; and I will be their God, and they will be My people….All of them will know Me, from the little one among them even to the great one among them, declares Jehovah, for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more. In Jeremiah 31, Jeremiah laid the foundation of the new covenant, prophesying that God will put His law within us; that He will write His law into our mind that we may know God; that God will be our God and we will be His people; that we will not need anyone to teach us, because we will all have a teaching life within us; and that God will forgive our iniquity and remember our sins no longer. In the new covenant we enjoy the inner law of life. This law of life brings us God’s person and also the divine capacity of the divine life, which can accomplish everything for God to fulfill His economy. By the inner law of life we have the capacity to know God, to live God, and even to be constituted with God in His life and nature so that we may be His corporate expression.

我们需要新约全部二十七卷书，来说明耶利米三十一章〔三十一至三十四节〕这简短的一段。我们若在整本新约的光中领会这一段，就会看见在这新约里有召会、神的国、神的家人、神的家（就是神在我们灵里的居所）、新人和基督的身体，作经过过程并终极完成之三一神的丰满。至终，这新约要带进千年国；终极完成的带进新天新地的新耶路撒冷，直到永远（耶利米书生命读经，三一○页）。 在地上，基督是开了一条十字架的路；在天上，祂开了一条又新又活的路，通入至圣所（来十19~20）。……基督用祂的血，洁净了诸天和诸天上之物。……不仅我们需要基督的血洁净，诸天和诸天上之物也需要血的洁净，就如帐幕一切相关的物件，都要洒上祭牲的血，才得洁净一样。……基督升到诸天之上，就坚立了新约，并且得到了永远的救赎（九12）。祂升到诸天之上，坚立了祂在地上所立定的新约。祂在诸天之上为我们得到了永远的救赎。 基督已经得着更超特的职任（八6）。祂今天在宝座上所得着的职任，比旧约帐幕里祭司的职任更超特。这是祂在至圣所里的职任。……基督作了新约的保证和中保，使这约得以施行（七22，八6，九15）。在原文里，保证的意思是担保者，受契约束缚者，保证人。……基督又是新约的执行者，执行祂的遗命（16~17）。基督是新约的保证，又是遗命的执行者。遗书需要一位执行者，使其能以施行。基督在祂的升天里，作了所遗赠给我们之遗命的执行者。 基督作大祭司为我们代求，并拯救我们到底（七25~26）。这工作并不是照着地上亚伦的等次，乃是照着天上麦基洗德的等次。……基督是属天的执事，把天、生命和能力供应到我们里面（八2），使我们在地上能过属天的生活。这不是仅仅救我们脱离一切消极的事，更是以神圣生命的属天供应，不住地扶持我们（希伯来书生命读经，四二四至四二六页）。 参读：希伯来书生命读经，第三十一、三十三、三十五至三十八、四十一至四十二篇。 |
We need all the twenty-seven books of the New Testament to define this one short portion of Jeremiah 31:31-34. If we understand this portion in light of the entire New Testament, we will see that in this new covenant we have the church, the kingdom of God, God’s household, the house of God as God’s dwelling place in our spirit, the new man, and the Body of Christ as the fullness of the processed and consummated Triune God. Eventually, this new covenant will bring in the millennium. Ultimately and consummately, it will bring in the New Jerusalem in the new heaven and new earth for eternity. (Life-study of Jeremiah, p. 258) On earth, Christ cut the pathway of the cross, and in heaven He has opened a new and living way into the Holy of Holies (Heb. 10:19-20). Christ has purified the heavens and the things in the heavens with His blood….Not only do we need the purification by the blood of Christ, but the heavens and the things in the heavens also need it, as the tabernacle and all things pertaining to it were sprinkled and purified by the blood of the sacrifice. By ascending to the heavens, Christ has confirmed the new covenant and obtained eternal redemption (9:12). His ascension to the heavens confirmed the new covenant that He consummated on earth. There, in the heavens, He found eternal redemption for us. Christ has obtained a more excellent ministry (8:6). His ministry on the throne today is more excellent than that of the Old Testament priests in the tabernacle. This is His ministry in the Holy of Holies. As the surety and Mediator of the new covenant, Christ enforces the covenant (7:22; 8:6; 9:15). In Greek the word surety means both a guarantee and a person who is a bondsman or sponsor. As the Executor of the New Testament, Christ executes that testament (9:16-17). Christ is the surety of the covenant and the Executor of the testament. For the will there is a need of an executor, someone to execute it. In His ascension, Christ is the Executor of the testament He bequeathed to us. Christ is the High Priest who intercedes for us and saves us to the uttermost (7:25-26). This is not according to the order of Aaron on earth but according to the order of Melchizedek in heaven. As the heavenly Minister, Christ ministers heaven, life, and power into us (8:2) that we may live the heavenly life on earth. This is not merely to save us from the negative things but to sustain us with the heavenly supply of the divine life.
