关于旧约里神同着人并在人中间的行动,以及新约里神在人里的行动,以成就神的心愿并应付人在神面前的需要之内在神圣的启示
The Intrinsic Divine Revelation concerning the Move of God with and among Men in the Old Testament and concerning the Move of God in Man in the New Testament to Accomplish God’s Heart’s Desire and to

贰 在新约里,神在人里的行动应付人在神面前的需要;神在人里的行动是从基督第一次来至新天新地里新耶路撒冷的显现,这行动在人类历史上是前所未有的—约一1、14,弗三16~19,启二一2、9~10:
Ⅱ The move of God in man is in the New Testament to meet man’s need before God; the move of God in man is from the first coming of Christ to the manifestation of the New Jerusalem in the new heaven and new earth; this move is unprecedented in human history—John 1:1, 14; Eph. 3:16-19; Rev. 21:2, 9-10:
一 神所拣选并呼召的人需要信入耶稣基督;祂是成为肉体的神,为他们并同着他们过了人性生活,受死,复活,又升天,并且成了赐生命的灵,向着他们成为是灵的基督,使祂能作他们的救恩、生命并一切(启示在马太福音至罗马书):
A As a person who has been chosen and called by God, man needs to believe into Jesus Christ, who is the incarnated God, who lived a human life, died, resurrected, and ascended for them and with them, and who became the life-giving Spirit as the pneumatic Christ to them, that He may be their salvation, life, and everything (which is revealed in Matthew through Romans):
1 神来在童女里面成孕,由她生为人,因而将神性带进人性里,并使神与人调和成为一个实体,但不是成为第三种本质—利二4~5,约一1、14,太一20、23,提前三16。2 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;在祂的人性生活里,主已把祂受苦的生活摆在我们面前,作我们临摹的范本,叫我们跟随祂的脚踪行;这不是指仅仅效法祂和祂的生活,乃是指我们要在受苦时享受祂作恩典,好使祂自己这内住的灵,带着祂生命一切的丰富,在我们里面繁殖(复制)祂自己,使我们成为祂的复制品—弗四20~21,彼前二21。
1 God came to be conceived in a human virgin and to be born of her to be a man, thus bringing divinity into humanity and causing God and man to be mingled as one entity but not as a third substance—Lev. 2:4-5; John 1:1, 14; Matt. 1:20, 23; 1 Tim. 3:16.

  诗四二1~2 神啊,我的魂切慕你,如鹿切慕溪水。我的魂渴想神,就是活神。我几时才可以来朝见神呢?

  旧约的帐幕预表基督的成为肉体(约一14)。真正的帐幕乃是神自己具体化身在基督里。这帐幕不仅是作为神的居所,也是作为神所拣选之人的居所。这意思是,神在成为肉体之后,是可进入的。在基督里,意思就是进入神里面享受神。……如今我们借着救赎的血,就能与神有交通。

  这样一个人在成为肉体、作人帐幕的神里,不需要在诸如完全、正直、纯全等人性的美德上建立自己,就如约伯所作的;乃需要像切慕溪水的鹿一样寻求神,并与神的子民在神的节期里一同享受神(诗四二1~5,四三3~5),好叫神能成为人的一切,以顶替人所达到并得着的。这该是给约伯三个朋友的答案,甚至是给以利户和约伯的答案。我们再次看见,我们若要明白约伯记,就需要整本圣经。

  神所拣选并呼召的人需要信入耶稣基督;祂是成为肉体的神,为我们并同着我们死了,复活了,升天了,并且成了赐生命的灵,向着我们成为是灵的基督,使祂能作我们的救恩、生命并一切。这事启示于新约,从马太福音到罗马书(约伯记生命读经,二二○至二二二页)。

  成为肉体、人性生活、钉十字架、复活、升天〔这五个步骤〕……乃是神在地上在人里面之行动所取的步骤。祂在人里面成为肉体,祂也在人里面生活。在成为肉体里,祂进入马利亚腹中,留在那里九个月。祂出生后,经过三十三年半的人性生活。然后祂上到十字架,在人里面被钉死。耶稣是以人的身分被钉死在十字架上,但祂不只是人,祂乃是神自己。然后祂复活了。祂在人里面从死人中复起,并在人里面升到诸天之上。这是祂行动的五个步骤。这些步骤的五个结果,乃是召会、基督的身体、新人、经过过程并终极完成之三一神的生机体以及新耶路撒冷。这五个步骤和五个结果,包括了整本新约所论到关于神在人里的行动。新约的头一页是说到成为肉体,而新约的末一页则说到新耶路撒冷。

  神在人里的行动在历史上是前所未有的。在马太一章神成为肉体以前,历史上没有神在人里面行动这样的事(神在人里的行动,四至五页)。

  新约启示,神来在童女里面成孕,由她生为人,因而将神性带进人性里,并使神与人调和成为一个实体,但不是成为第三种本质(约一1、14,太一20、23,提前三16)。这是神所采取的第一步,为要借着分赐,将祂自己给约伯(约伯记生命读经,二一一至二一二页)。

  神在祂成为肉体里的行动,乃是将神性与人性调和成为一个实体,但这一个实体里的两种元素仍然保持分别,并没有产生第三种元素。过去有一个异端教导说,神性与人性调和在一起时,就产生第三种元素。……旧约里有素祭这美妙的预表,给我们看见在耶稣基督的身位里,神性与人性的调和。利未记二章四至五节说,素祭是“细面调油”。油表征圣灵,细面表征人性。圣灵将自己与人调和,产生素祭,好作神和祭司的食物(神在人里的行动,一○页)。

  参读:约伯记生命读经,第三十四篇。
  Psa. 42:1-2 As the hart pants after the streams of water, so my soul pants for You, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When will I come and appear before God?

  The tabernacle in the Old Testament is a type of Christ’s incarnation (John 1:14). The real tabernacle is God Himself embodied in Christ. This tabernacle is a dwelling place not only for God but also for God’s chosen people. This means that, after the incarnation, God is enterable. To be in Christ means to enter into God to enjoy God…. Now through the redeeming blood we can have fellowship with God.

  Such a man who is in the incarnated God as his tabernacle did not need to build up himself in human virtues, such as perfection, uprightness, and integrity, as Job did, but he needed to seek after God as a panting hart and to enjoy God with God’s people in God’s feasts (Psa. 42:1-5; 43:3-5) so that God could be everything to him to replace all that he had attained and obtained. This should be the answer to Job’s three friends and even to Elihu and Job. Once again we see that if we would understand the book of Job, we need the entire Bible.

  The ones who have been chosen and called by God need to believe into Jesus Christ, who is the incarnated God, who died, resurrected, and ascended for us and with us, and who became the life-giving Spirit as the pneumatic Christ to us, that He may be our salvation, life, and everything. This is revealed in the New Testament, in the books from Matthew through Romans. (Life-study of Job, pp. 189-190)
