约一29 次日，约翰看见耶稣向他走来，就说，看哪，神的羔羊，除去世人之罪的！

　　弗二15 在祂的肉体里，废掉了那规条中诫命的律法，好把两下在祂自己里面，创造成一个新人，成就了和平。

　　基督包罗万有之法理的救赎有五方面。第一，了结一切旧造的东西。第二，救赎神所创造、却堕落在罪中的一切东西（来二9，西一20）。……第三，用祂神圣的元素创造（孕育）新人。以弗所二章十五节说，祂在自己里面，在十字架上，把犹太信徒和外邦信徒创造成一个新人。那个创造就是孕育。……基督在自己里面创造（孕育）新人，这指明祂就是那个孕育新人的元素。祂在自己那个元素里，将两下孕育成为一个新人。主耶稣在十字架上受死的时候，同时就在创造新人。

　　第四，基督包罗万有之法理的救赎，也从祂人性的体壳里，将祂神圣的生命释放出来。约翰十二章二十四节说，主耶稣乃是一粒麦子。……基督有神圣的生命，却是隐藏在祂人性的体壳里；所以祂需要在十字架上受死，使祂人性的体壳破裂，而从祂人性的体壳中释放出祂神圣的生命。

　　第五，基督包罗万有之法理的救赎，也为祂生机的救恩立下根基，并且设定达成祂在总括时期中之职事的手续（如何作同工与长老，并如何履行同工与长老的义务，一八至一九页）。

　　John 1:29 The next day he saw Jesus coming to him and said, Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

　　Eph. 2:15 Abolishing in His flesh the law of the commandments in ordinances, that He might create the two in Himself into one new man, so making peace.

　　The all-inclusive judicial redemption of Christ is of five aspects. First, He terminated all things of the old creation. Second, He redeemed all the things created by God and fallen in sin (Heb. 2:9; Col. 1:20)…. Third, He created (conceived) the new man with His divine element. Ephesians 2:15 says that on the cross He created the Jewish believers and the Gentile believers in Himself into one new man. That creation was a conception…. Christ created (conceived) the new man in Himself, indicating that He was the very element for the conceiving of the new man. He conceived in Himself as the element the two peoples into one new man. While the Lord Jesus was dying on the cross, He was creating the new man.

　　Fourth, when Christ accomplished His all-inclusive judicial redemption, He released His divine life from the shell of His humanity. John 12:24 says that the Lord Jesus was a grain of wheat…. Christ had the divine life, but it was concealed in the shell of His humanity. Hence, He needed to suffer death on the cross so that the shell of His humanity might be broken to release His divine life from His human shell.

　　Fifth, in accomplishing His all-inclusive judicial death, Christ also laid a foundation for His organic salvation and set up the procedure to attain His ministry in the stage of His inclusion. (CWWL, 1994-1997, vol. 5, “How to Be a Co-worker and an Elder and How to Fulfill Their Obligations, ” p. 228)

　　主耶稣在地上生活并尽职，末了祂甘心乐意地上十字架。祂的钉死是个包罗万有、代替的死，了结旧造，并解决所有的问题。

　　祂的死把祂引进复活：一面，在祂的复活里，祂生为神的长子（徒十三33，罗一4，八29）；另一面，在祂的复活里，并借着祂的复活，祂成了赐生命的灵（林前十五45下）。

　　此外，借着基督的复活，千万的人从神而生，由神重生（彼前一3），成为神的众子和基督身体上的肢体，就是召会。这位成为肉体、钉十字架、复活、升上诸天、然后降下成为那灵的基督，产生了召会，作三一神团体的彰显。今天的召会就是基督显现的扩大。因此，召会也是神圣历史的一部分；这历史是外在人类历史里之神圣奥秘的内在历史。

　　在神圣历史这部分的末了，基督要再来，带着祂的得胜者作祂的军队，从天降临（珥三11），为要击败敌基督和他的军队。这两个人物将要相会—敌基督（外在、人类历史里的人物），以及基督同祂的得胜者（内在、神圣历史里的人物）。神圣历史里的人物要击败人类历史里的人物，把他扔在火湖里（启十九20）。接着，千年国就要来临。至终，这国度要终极完成于新天新地里的新耶路撒冷。新耶路撒冷将是神的历史终极完成的一步。

　　人的历史，世界的历史，是外在的。神圣的历史，就是神在人里并同着人的历史，是内里的。这个历史是在人性里之三一神的神圣奥秘（约珥书生命读经，二五○至二五一页）。

　　参读：如何作同工与长老，并如何履行同工与长老的义务，第一篇。

　　At the end of His life and ministry on earth, the Lord Jesus went willingly to the cross. His crucifixion was a vicarious death, an all-inclusive death which terminated the old creation and solved all problems. His death ushered Him into resurrection. On the one hand, in His resurrection He was begotten to be the firstborn Son of God (Acts 13:33; Rom. 1:4; 8:29). On the other hand, in and through His resurrection He became the life-giving Spirit (1 Cor. 15:45b).

　　Furthermore, through Christ’s resurrection millions were begotten, regenerated, by God (1 Pet. 1:3) to be sons of God and to be members of the Body of Christ, the church. The Christ who was incarnated, crucified, and resurrected, the Christ who ascended to the heavens and then descended as the Spirit, has produced the church as the corporate expression of the Triune God. The church today is the enlargement of the manifestation of Christ. Thus, the church also is part of the divine history, the intrinsic history of the divine mystery within the outward, human history.

　　At the end of this part of the divine history, Christ will come back, descending with His overcomers as His army (Joel 3:11) to defeat Antichrist and his army. There will be the meeting of two figures—Antichrist, a figure in the outward, human history, and Christ with His overcomers, the Figure in the intrinsic, divine history. The Figure in the divine history will defeat the figure in the human history and then cast him into the lake of fire (Rev. 19:20). Following this, the thousand-year kingdom will come. Eventually, this kingdom will consummate in the New Jerusalem in the new heaven and new earth. The New Jerusalem will be the ultimate, the consummate, step of God’s history.

　　The history of man, the history of the world, is outward. The divine history, the history of God in and with humanity, is inward. This history is a matter of the divine mystery of the Triune God in humanity. (Life-study of Joel, pp. 34-36)
