启一11 “你所看见的，当写在书上，寄给那七个召会：给以弗所、给士每拿、给别迦摩、给推雅推喇、给撒狄、给非拉铁非、给老底嘉。”

　　林前十六19 “亚西亚的众召会问你们安。亚居拉和百基拉，并在他们家中的召会，在主里多多地问你们安。”

　　主将亚西亚的七个召会调和为一，用整卷启示录，个别地和团体地写给他们一封总的书信（一4、11，二1~三22）。一面说，主写给每一个召会一封书信；另一面说，主把七封书信摆在一起，作为一封给七个召会的总书信。至终，七处召会都得着同一个东西。启示录给我们看见，一城应当只有一个召会。启示录也启示，众召会也应当集体的是一。这该清楚地给我们看见，在主眼中众召会乃是一。主只有一个身体。为了使众召会在地上存在，我们必须分散，但我们的分散不该成为基本的因素，使我们分开，好像分裂一样。若是可能，最好我们全都来在一起而不分散（一个身体和一位灵，二四至二五页）。

　　Rev. 1:11 Saying, What you see write in a scroll and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus and to Smyrna and to Pergamos and to Thyatira and to Sardis and to Philadelphia and to Laodicea.

　　1 Cor. 16:19 The churches of Asia greet you. Aquila and Prisca greet you much in the Lord, with the church, which is in their house.

　　The Lord blended the seven churches in Asia into one by sending them one total epistle respectively and collectively with the whole book of Revelation (1:4, 11; 2:1—3:22). On the one hand, the Lord wrote each church an epistle, and on the other hand, He put all seven epistles together as one total epistle and sent it to each one of the seven churches. Eventually, all seven churches received the same thing. The book of Revelation shows that there should be only one church in one city. It also reveals that all the churches collectively should also be one. This should give us a clear view that in the eyes of the Lord the churches are one. The Lord has only one Body. In order for the churches to exist on the globe, we have to be scattered, but our being scattered should not be a basic factor that causes us to be separated and divided. (CWWL, 1991-1992, vol. 4, “One Body and One Spirit,” pp. 434-435)

　　我们中间有些圣徒从一地到另一地，从一处召会到另一处召会，想要找一个合乎他们偏好和口味的召会。这种态度是冒犯人的；这触犯了基督的身体。我们不该对我们所在的召会有任何要求。我们必须谦卑自己，服在我们所在的召会之下。不仅如此，我们必须尽力避免任何不和。一点面酵能使全团发起来（林前五6~7），所以我们必须有警觉。在地方上，我们必须同心合意，没有任何意见，我们也必须在宇宙的身体里保守一。

　　使徒保罗将歌罗西和老底嘉这两处召会调和为一，写给他们共同的书信（西四16）。他写了一封信给在歌罗西的召会，并嘱咐他们要让在老底嘉的召会也读那封信。他也写了一封信给老底嘉，并叫老底嘉让歌罗西也读。…使徒保罗在问安时，〔也〕实行众召会之间身体的交通（罗十六1~16、20~24）。

　　为着主在祂恢复里，在地方一面并宇宙一面的行动，我们都需要在同心合意里有身体的感觉，并在一里以身体为中心（一个身体和一位灵，二五至二七页）。

　　罗马〔十四至十六〕章给我们看见…两件非常重要的事…。第一就是效法使徒，将各地的召会带进基督身体的交通里（十四3，十五7~9、25~33）。第二就是跟随使徒的脚踪，将众圣徒带到基督身体全体相调的生活中。

　　我们必须有基督身体交通和相调的实际，否则我们无论怎么追求、单纯、谦卑，迟早总会出问题，甚至会分裂。所以我们必须受身体之异象的控制，跟随使徒的脚踪，将众召会的众圣徒带进基督身体全体相调的生活中（经历神生机的救恩等于在基督的生命中作王，七一、七六页）。

　　相调的目的是要将我们众人引进基督身体的实际。…我宝贵众地方召会，是因着一个目的：众地方召会是将我带进基督身体的手续。众召会是身体，但众召会也许没有基督身体的实际。因此，我们需要在众地方召会里，使我们能被引进或带进基督身体的实际（关于相调的实行，五至六页）。

　　Some saints among us traveled from locality to locality, from church to church, trying to find a church that would match their preference and taste. This kind of attitude is offensive. It offends the Body of Christ. We should not put any demands on the church where we are. We have to humble ourselves and submit ourselves to the church where we are. Furthermore, we must try our best to avoid any discord. A little leaven leavens the whole lump (1 Cor. 5:6-7). We must therefore be on the alert. Locally, we must be in one accord, without any opinion, and we must also keep the oneness in the universal Body.

　　The apostle Paul blended the two churches in Colossae and Laodicea together as one by sending them epistles in common (Col. 4:16). He wrote a letter to the church in Colossae and charged them to let the church in Laodicea read it. He also wrote a letter to Laodicea and asked Laodicea to let Colossae read it.…The apostle Paul [also] practiced the fellowship of the Body among the churches in his greetings (Rom. 16:1-16,20-24).

　　For the Lord’s move in His recovery both locally and universally, we all need to be Body-conscious in one accord and Body-centered in oneness. (CWWL, 1991-1992, vol. 4, “One Body and One Spirit,” pp. 435-436)

　　[Romans 14—16 shows]…two crucial matters. The first matter is in imitating the apostle to bring the local churches into the fellowship of the Body of Christ (14:3; 15:7-9, 25-33); the second matter is in following in the apostle’s footsteps to bring all the saints into the blending life of the entire Body of Christ.

　　We must have the reality of the fellowship and blending of the Body of Christ. Otherwise, regardless of how much we pursue and how simple and humble we are, sooner or later there will be problems, even divisions, among us. Hence, we must be governed by the vision of the Body and follow in the footsteps of the apostle by bringing all the saints in all the churches into the blending life of the entire Body of Christ. (CWWL, 1994-1997, vol. 5, “The Experience of God’s Organic Salvation Equaling Reigning in Christ’s Life,” pp. 513, 516)

　　The purpose of the blending is to usher us all into the reality of the Body of Christ…. I treasure the local churches because of a purpose. The local churches are the procedure to bring me into the Body of Christ. The churches are the Body, but the churches may not have the reality of the Body of Christ. Thus, we need to be in the local churches so that we can be ushered, or brought, into the reality of the Body of Christ. (CWWL, 1994-1997, vol. 1, “The Practical Points concerning Blending,” p. 104)
