约壹一2~3 “（这生命已经显现出来，我们也看见过，现在又作见证，将原与父同在，且显现与我们那永远的生命传与你们）；我们将所看见并听见的，也传与你们，使你们也可以与我们有交通；而且我们的交通，又是与父并与祂儿子耶稣基督所有的。”

　　〔我们需要看见〕众召会内在的交通，为着众召会生机的关系。“交通”一辞在原文的意思是一同参与，共同分享。这是非常甜美的辞，但我们的语文中很难找到正确、准确、充分和同等的辞句。…其正确意义已经被…破坏了。对一些人而言，交通乃是“社交”。很多人…有敬拜的形式，但他们主要的兴趣是彼此社交。我们必须丢弃这样堕落的观念。我们对“交通”的领会，应当照着神纯净的话语。

　　众召会内在的交通，乃是在基督生机身体的众肢体之间，并经过他们的神圣生命之流（约壹一1~4）（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，五七至五八页）。

　　1 John 1:2-3 (And the life was manifested, and we have seen and testify and report to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was manifested to us); that which we have seen and heard we report also to you that you also may have fellowship with us, and indeed our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ.

　　[We need to see] the intrinsic fellowship of the churches for their organic relationship. The Greek word for fellowship is koinonia, meaning “joint participation, common participation.” This is a very sweet term, but it is difficult to get the proper, accurate, adequate, and equivalent term in the English language.… [The proper meaning has been spoiled.] To some, fellowship is “socializing.” Many people…have some form of worship, but their main interest is in socializing with one another. We must drop such a degraded concept. Our understanding of “fellowship” should be according to the pure Word of God.

　　The intrinsic fellowship of the churches is the flow of the divine life among and through all the members of the organic Body of Christ (John 1:1-4). (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,” p. 307)

　　〔在约壹一章一至四节，〕约翰将他所看见并听见的传与我们。他听见过，看见过，甚至摸过这生命的话〔1〕，就是永远的生命。如今他作见证，并将永远的生命传与我们〔2〕。约翰接着又说，他将所看见并听见的，传与我们，不是使我们有“生命”，乃是使我们有“交通”〔3〕。…这时，约翰用另一个辞顶替“生命”这辞。〔使徒们〕看见并听见生命，他们也传生命，但是带着很强的目的。约翰的意思是说，“我们将生命传与你们，是带着很强的目的，使你们可以与我们有交通。”…“我们”是指使徒们。“我们”的交通，就是使徒的交通，乃是与父并与祂儿子耶稣基督所有的。使徒们将子作生命传给我们，使我们可以与他们分享这交通。然后，在四节，约翰说，“我们写这些事，是要叫我们的喜乐得以满足。”使徒欢喜看见信徒也有他们所有的。他们所有的乃是与父并与祂儿子的交通。

　　当我们研究约翰一书头四节里交通的意义时，有三个主要的点是我们需要看见的。第一，交通是出于神圣生命的东西。第二，这交通是使徒的交通。第三，使徒盼望看见信徒有分于这交通。当我们说这交通是出于神圣生命的东西，我们的意思是说，这交通是神圣生命的流，是永远生命的流出，事实上也就是在所有接受并拥有神圣生命的信徒里面永远生命的流。

　　神圣的生命是流通的。圣经的结束，就是启示录最后一章，给我们一幅相当有意义的图画。那里有神和羔羊的宝座（二二1）。从这宝座出来一道流，就是生命水的流，而这流乃是一道河。

　　我们如果细想人体里的血液循环，或许能帮助我们明白这个交通，就是神圣生命的这个流。我们身体里只有一个血液循环，这个循环达到我们身体的每一个肢体。我们身上没有一个肢体是向着别的肢体独立自治的。身体所有的肢体都有分于这一个血液循环。肢体虽多，血液的流通却只有一个。人体的内在元素乃是血液。这个在人体里的血液循环，乃是在基督身体里内在交通的一幅图画（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，五九至六二页）。

　　[In 1 John 1:1-4] John is reporting to us that which he saw and heard. He had heard, seen, and even handled the Word of life [v. 1], which is the eternal life. Now he is testifying and reporting to us the eternal life [v. 2]. Then [in verse 3] John goes on to say that he reported what he had seen and heard, not that we might have “life” but that we might have “fellowship.”… At this point John uses another word to replace the word life. The apostles saw and heard life, and they reported life, but it was for a strong purpose. John was saying, “We report to you life with the strong purpose that you may have fellowship with us.”…”Our fellowship,” the apostles’ fellowship, is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ. They report the Son as life to us that we may share this fellowship with them. Then in verse 4, John says, “These things we write that our joy may be made full.” The apostles would be happy to see that the believers would have what they have. What they have is fellowship with the Father and the Son.

　　There are three major points we need to see when we study the significance of fellowship in the first four verses of 1 John 1. First, fellowship is something of the divine life. Second, this fellowship is the apostles’ fellowship. Third, the apostles expected to see that the believers would share in this fellowship. When we say that this fellowship is something of life, we mean that it is the flow of the divine life. It is the issue of the eternal life and is actually the flow of the eternal life within all the believers who have received and possess the divine life.

　　The divine life flows. At the conclusion of the Bible the last chapter of Revelation gives us quite a meaningful picture. There is the throne of God and of the Lamb (22:1). Out of this throne proceeds a current, a flow, which is the flow of the water of life, and this flow is a river.

　　It may help us to understand this fellowship, this flow of the divine life, if we consider the circulation of blood in our human body. There is only one circulation of blood in our body, and it reaches every member of our body. No member of our physical body is independently autonomous of the other members. All the members of the body participate in the one blood circulation. There are many members but only one flow of blood. The intrinsic element of the human body is its blood. This circulation of blood in our human body is a picture of the intrinsic fellowship in the Body of Christ.
