3 那在耶稣身上的实际,是指四福音书所记载耶稣一生的真实光景: |
3 The reality in Jesus is the actual condition of the life of Jesus recorded in the four Gospels: |
a 耶稣的人性生活是照着这实际,就是照着神自己—弗四24。 |
a The human living of Jesus was according to the reality, that is, according to God Himself—Eph. 4:24. |
b 耶稣生活的素质就是实际;祂行事为人总是在实际中。 |
b The essence of the life of Jesus was reality; He always walked in reality. |
c 主在祂人性生活中所作的一切,都是神的彰显,所以就是实际。 |
c Everything the Lord did in His human life was God expressed and therefore was reality. |
4 耶稣这种照着实际的生活,乃是信徒生活的模型—约贰1~2、4,约叁3~4: |
4 The life of Jesus according to reality is the pattern for the believers’ life—2 John 1-2, 4; 3 John 3-4: |
a 我们需要学基督,并在祂里面受教导,过实际的生活—弗四20~21,约贰1,约四23~24。 |
a We need to learn Christ and be taught in Him to live a life of reality—Eph. 4:20-21; 2 John 1; John 4:23-24. |
b 我们是基督身体的肢体,该过一种实际的生活,如同那在耶稣身上的实际— 一种彰显神的生活。 |
b As members of the Body of Christ, we should live a life of reality, as the reality is in Jesus—a life of expressing God. |
三 我们能活在那在耶稣身上的实际里,因为“我们……在那位真实的里面”—约壹五20: |
C We can live in the reality that is in Jesus because “we are in Him who is true”—1 John 5:20: |
1 “那位真实的”是指神对我们成了主观的,指客观的神在我们的生活和经历中成了那真实者。2 在那位真实的—那真实者—里面,就是在祂儿子耶稣基督里面,因为神的儿子主耶稣就是真神—20节。 |
1 Him who is true refers to God becoming subjective to us, to the God who is objective becoming the true One in our life and experience. |
3 那真实者就是神圣的实际;认识那真实者,意即借着经历、享受并拥有这实际,而认识这神圣的实际。 |
2 To be in the One who is true—the true One—is to be in His Son Jesus Christ, for the Lord Jesus, the Son of God, is the true God—v. 20. |

弗四24 并且穿上了新人,这新人是照着神,在那实际的义和圣中所创造的。 约壹五20 我们也晓得神的儿子已经来到,且将悟性赐给我们,使我们可以认识那位真实的;我们也在那位真实的里面,就是在祂儿子耶稣基督里面。这是真神,也是永远的生命。 〔在以弗所四章二十一节,〕“那在耶稣身上是实际者”这说法是指耶稣一生的真实光景,如四福音书所记载的。外邦堕落之人不敬虔的行事为人乃是虚妄;但在耶稣敬虔的生活里乃是实际。耶稣在生活中总是在神里面,同着神并为着神行事。神是在祂的生活中,并且祂与神是一。这就是在耶稣身上是实际者。我们信徒既以基督作我们的生命得了重生,并在祂里面受过教导,就照着那在耶稣身上是实际者学了基督(新约总论第十一册,二一七页)。 |
信息选读
耶稣这人在祂的日常行动中不仅伟大,也非常柔细。譬如,祂用五饼二鱼食饱五千人时,……指示祂的门徒拾起剩下的零碎,免得有糟蹋的,共装满了十二篮子(约六12~13)。四福音启示,在主日常生活的每一个细节里,没有虚妄,只有实际。此外,几乎在四福音的每一页里,我们都看见耶稣敬虔生活里的实际,与祂周围之人—反对祂的人和祂的门徒们—生活里的虚妄,两者之间显著的对比。 主耶稣在地上的三十三年半中,形成了那些信祂之人要被模成的模子、模型。按照四福音的记载,主耶稣的生活乃是实际的生活。实际就是光的照耀。光是源头,实际是其彰显。希伯来一章三节说,主耶稣是神荣耀的光辉。这意思是,祂乃是那是光之神的照耀。因着主在地上生活的每一面都有光的照耀,所以祂的生活乃是实际的生活,就是神自己照耀的生活。这实际的生活就是神的彰显。因这缘故,保罗说,我们是照着那在耶稣身上是实际者,学了基督。换句话说,我们乃是照着耶稣生活的模子学了基督;耶稣生活的模子就是实际。……基督设立了这个模子之后,就经过死与复活,并在复活里成了赐生命的灵。祂是这样一位灵,进到我们里面作我们的生命。当我们相信基督并受浸时,神就把我们摆在作模子的基督里面,如同面团被摆在模子里一样。借着被摆在模子里,我们就学了这模子。这意思是,借着被摆在基督里,我们就学了基督。一面,神把我们摆在基督里;另一面,基督进到我们里面作我们的生命。现今,我们能照着神把我们摆入的模子,凭祂而活。我们在作为模子的基督里面,祂作为我们的生命在我们里面。这样,我们就照着那在耶稣身上是实际者学了基督。 在以弗所四章这里,保罗在提到恩典(就是供应)之前,先陈明实际,就是原则、模型和标准。实际乃是光的照耀。我们这些在元首之下基督身体的肢体,应当照着那在耶稣身上是实际者学基督。但我们要活出这样实际的标准,就必须有恩典。在二十九节,保罗将恩典联于我们的说话。这指明我们不仅是在我们认为重要的事上需要恩典,更是在日常生活的细节上需要恩典。……例如,我们日常生活的言谈里也许缺少恩典。……我们若在我们生活的这一方面有恩典,在其余各方面就都有恩典了。在凡事上我们都需要恩典,好照着那在耶稣身上是实际者过生活(新约总论第十一册,二一七至二一九、二二一页)。 参读:以弗所书生命读经,第四十六篇。 |
Eph. 4:24 And put on the new man, which was created according to God in righteousness and holiness of the reality. 1 John 5:20 And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding that we might know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life. The expression the reality is in Jesus [in Ephesians 4:21] refers to the actual condition of the life of Jesus as recorded in the four Gospels. In the godless walk of the nations, the fallen people, there is vanity, but in the godly life of Jesus there is the reality. Jesus lived a life in which He did everything in God, with God, and for God. God was in His living, and He was one with God. This is what is meant by the reality is in Jesus. We, the believers, who are regenerated with Christ as our life and are taught in Him, learn from Him as the reality is in Jesus. (The Conclusion of the New Testament, pp. 3426-3427) |
