约十五1 “我是真葡萄树，我父是栽培的人。”

　　4~5 “你们要住在我里面，我也住在你们里面。枝子若不住在葡萄树上，自己就不能结果子，你们若不住在我里面，也是这样。我是葡萄树，你们是枝子；住在我里面的，我也住在他里面，这人就多结果子；因为离了我，你们就不能作什么。”

　　基督的许多弟兄是接枝到祂这宇宙中真葡萄树里的枝子，为祂多结果子，使祂得以在扩展中扩大，叫他们成为彰显三一神的生机体（约十五1、5、16、8）。这宇宙的葡萄树是我们的素质。神是我们的素质，基督是我们的素质，葡萄树也是我们的素质。葡萄树连同其枝子，就是基督内在、生机的扩展，成了基督的扩大。…我是其中之一部分的那棵葡萄树很长，围绕了全地。这才是真正的大葡萄树，也是召会的素质。我们这些真葡萄树的枝子，乃是基督的繁增，基督的复制，基督的扩展，基督的扩大。这个繁增、复制、扩展、扩大，就是真葡萄树及其枝子，乃是三一神的生机体（生机建造的召会作基督的身体成为经过过程并分赐之三一神的生机体，一三页）。

　　John 15:1 I am the true vine, and My Father is the husbandman.

　　4-5 Abide in Me and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me. I am the vine; you are the branches. He who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit; for apart from Me you can do nothing.

　　The many brothers of Christ are His many branches grafted into Him, the true vine in the universe, to bear much fruit for His enlargement in His spreading so that they might express the Triune God as His organism (John 15:1, 5,16, 8). This universal vine tree is our essence. God is our essence, Christ is our essence, and the vine tree is also our essence. The vine tree with its branches, the intrinsic and organic spreading of Christ, becomes Christ’s enlargement….The vine of which I am a part is so long that it encircles the whole earth. This is the real great vine, which is the essence of the church. As the branches of the true vine, we are the multiplication of Christ, the duplication of Christ, the spreading of Christ, and the enlargement of Christ. This multiplication, duplication, spreading, and enlargement, the true vine with its branches, is the organism of the Triune God. (CWWL, 1989, vol. 4, “The Organic Building Up of the Church as the Body of Christ to Be the Organism of the Processed and Dispensing Triune God,” pp. 273-274)

　　这三一神的生机体乃是基督生机的身体，由祂许多的弟兄，就是祂生机身体的许多肢体所构成（弗一22~23，罗十二5）。召会这基督生机身体内在的素质，乃是三一神。…我们的一不在于同意彼此的道理。我们的一乃是经过过程并分赐之三一神。…我们若彼此有什么难处，是因为我们从经过过程并分赐之三一神这内在的素质离开。我们若与祂同在，忘记一切不同的道理，就不会有难处。

　　召会存在于宇宙中，乃是神唯一的宇宙召会，使神得着宇宙的彰显，就是神的丰满（林前十32，十二28，弗三19下）。甚至召会的存在也是生机的。三一神在哪里，哪里就有这活的、生机的召会，因为这召会如今与经过过程并分赐的三一神是一。召会与经过过程并分赐的三一神不是两个实体，二者已经成为一个实体。这样的召会是不可能分裂的。

　　召会分布于地上许多地方，成为许多地方召会，作祂在地方上的彰显（启一4上、11）。就宇宙一面说，召会存在于宇宙中。就地方一面说，这个召会彰显于许多地方，成为许多地方召会。有人说各地方上的彰显，应当彼此不同，这是错误的教训。这种错谬的教训是由于没有看见召会是生机的，是有内在素质的。…在彼得与保罗的时候，各地方召会都有同一个内在的素质。今天，地上的众地方召会也只有一个内在的素质，所以召会是不能分裂的，也是不能分开的。

　　不仅宇宙召会是一，众地方召会也是一。众地方召会在经过过程并分赐之三一神里，内在的是一。今天要解决我们的难处，我们就必须回到召会内在的素质。如果我们今天限制我们自己在召会这唯一的素质上，每个难处就都会解决。谈论众召会到底是一还是分开，乃是在黑暗中的谈论，是没有召会内在素质之异象的谈论。〔我们需要〕主…“打开窗户”，让我们看清召会与众召会的这个素质（生机建造的召会作基督的身体成为经过过程并分赐之三一神的生机体，一四至一六页）。

　　This organism of the Triune God is the organic Body of Christ constituted with His many brothers as the many members of His organic Body (Eph. 1:22-23; Rom. 12:5). The intrinsic essence of the church as the organic Body of Christ is the Triune God….Our oneness is not in agreeing with one another’s doctrines. Our oneness is the processed and dispensing Triune God…. If we have any problems with one another, it is because we have departed from the intrinsic essence, the processed and dispensing Triune God. If we stay with Him, forgetting all the different doctrines, there will be no problems.

　　The church exists in the universe as the one universal church of God for His universal expression, the fullness of God (1 Cor. 10:32; 12:28; Eph. 3:19b). Even the existence of the church is organic. Where the Triune God is, this living, organic church is, because this church is now one with the processed and dispensing Triune God. The church and the processed and dispensing Triune God are not two entities; they have become one entity. It is impossible for such a church to be divided.

　　The church is spreading in many localities on the earth as many local churches to be His local expressions (Rev. 1:4a, 11). Universally, the church exists in the universe. Locally, this church is expressed in many localities as local churches. To say that all the local expressions should be different from one another is a wrong teaching. This kind of erroneous teaching comes from not seeing that the churches are organic, with an intrinsic essence…. In the time of Peter and Paul every local church had the same one intrinsic essence. All the local churches on the earth today also have only one intrinsic essence, so the church cannot be divided, or split.

　　Not only the universal church but also the local churches are one. They are intrinsically one in the processed and dispensing Triune God. To solve our problems today, we must come back to the intrinsic essence of the church. If today we all limit ourselves to the one intrinsic essence of the church, every problem will be solved. To talk about whether all the churches are one or separate is to talk in darkness. This is talk without a vision of the intrinsic essence of the church. This chapter should be used by the Lord to “open the window” for us to look into and see the very intrinsic essence of the church and all the churches. (CWWL, 1989, vol. 4, “The Organic Building Up of the Church as the Body of Christ to Be the Organism of the Processed and Dispensing Triune God,” pp. 274-275)
