约十五1　　我是真葡萄树，我父是栽培的人。

　　8　　你们多结果子，我父就因此得荣耀，你们也就是我的门徒了。

　　26　　但我要从父差保惠师来，就是从父出来实际的灵，祂来了，就要为我作见证。

　　我们在约翰十五章看见，基督作为三一神的具体化身，乃是真葡萄树。…子基督这真葡萄树，同众信徒为其枝子，乃是神经纶中三一神的生机体，在神圣的分赐下，因神的丰富而长大，彰显神圣的生命。这葡萄树作三一神的生机体，乃是团体、宇宙的。

　　十五章不仅启示子基督是葡萄树，也启示父是栽培的人，基督的身体是葡萄树的枝子，以及灵神是实际的灵。子基督是葡萄树，乃是中心。…父神的一切所是和所有都为着这中心，具体表现在这中心，并借着这中心彰显出来。父神借这葡萄树得着彰显、表明和荣耀。所以父神是源头，子神是中心。（新约总论第九册，二○五页。）

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

　　8 In this is My Father glorified, that you bear much fruit and so you will become My disciples.

　　26 But when the Comforter comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of reality, who proceeds from the Father, He will testify concerning Me.

　　In John 15 we see that Christ as the embodiment of the Triune God is the true vine….Christ the Son as the true vine with the believers as its branches is the organism of the Triune God in God’s economy, the divine dispensing, to grow with His riches and express the divine life. As the organism of the Triune God, this vine is corporate and universal.

　　John 15 reveals not only Christ the Son as the vine but also the Father as the husbandman, the Body of Christ as the branches of the vine, and God the Spirit as the Spirit of reality. As the vine, Christ the Son is the center…. Everything that God the Father is and has is for the center, is embodied in the center, and is expressed through the center. God the Father is expressed, manifested, and glorified through the vine. Therefore, God the Father is the source and God the Son is the center. (The Conclusion of the New Testament, p. 2929)

　　〔在约翰十五章二十六节，〕灵神称为实际的灵。这就是说，那灵乃是实际。凡父神在子基督里的所是，以及祂集中在子里的所有，都借着那灵得以实化。父神在子里的一切所是，在灵神里乃是实际。集中在子里的一切，都被实际的灵所启示、证实、见证并实化。所以，父神是源头和建立者；子基督是中心、具体化身和显出；灵神是实际和实化。这是极深邃并深奥的。

　　此外，在〔约翰十五章〕这启示里不仅有三一神，还有基督的身体；基督的身体就是召会。在这启示里，召会被比喻为葡萄树的枝子。…葡萄树的枝子若被折去，葡萄树就没有身体了。没有枝子，葡萄树除了根和干之外，便什么都没有了。因此，枝子乃是葡萄树的身体。

　　父是葡萄树的源头，子是葡萄树，那灵是葡萄树的生命汁液。这伟大的葡萄树，就是三一神的生机体。父所是的一切都在这生机体里，都具体表现在这葡萄树，就是神圣三一的第二者里面。在这葡萄树里有那灵流通的生命之流。那灵带着父的丰富，来供应葡萄树及其枝子。我们被接枝其上的这葡萄树，乃是三一神的生机体。

　　父神所是和所有的一切，都集中并具体化身在子基督里，而这一切都实化在那灵里成为实际。现今这一切都已经作到我们里面，并要借着我们得着彰显与见证。十五章有四个非常重要的项目：父神是源头和建立者，子神是中心和彰显，灵神是实际和实化，而枝子是身体，是团体的彰显。枝子是极其紧要的，因为他们彰显神在基督里作为那灵的所是。…这完满的彰显有赖于枝子，就是身体；因为神在子基督里作为那灵，要借着枝子，就是身体，彰显出来。父神一切的所是和所有都在子基督里，子一切的所是和所有都实化为那灵，那灵一切的所有都在身体—召会—里，就是我们里面。…那灵所有的一切都已彰显在我们身上，就是彰显在枝子—召会—里。三一神在基督里，在召会中得着彰显、显出和荣耀。（新约总论第九册，二○五至二○六、二一六至二一七页。）

　　[In John 15:26] God the Spirit is called the Spirit of reality. This means that the Spirit is the reality. Whatever God the Father is in the Son and whatever He has centralized in Christ the Son will be realized by the Spirit. All that God the Father is in the Son is a reality in God the Spirit. Everything centralized in the Son is revealed, testified, witnessed, and realized by the Spirit of reality. Therefore, God the Father is the source, the founder; Christ the Son is the center, the embodiment, and the manifestation; and God the Spirit is the realization, the reality. This is exceedingly profound and deep.

　　Moreover, in this revelation there is not only the Triune God but also the Body of Christ. The Body of Christ is the church. In this revelation the church is likened to the branches of a vine…. If the branches are taken away from the vine, the vine will have no body. Without the branches, the vine has nothing remaining except the root and the stem. Hence, the branches are the body of the vine.

　　The Father is the source of the vine, the Son is the vine, and the Spirit is the life-juice of the vine. This great vine is the organism of the Triune God. All that the Father is, is in this organism, embodied in the vine, which is the second of the Trinity. Within the vine is the circulating life flow of the Spirit. It is the Spirit who carries the riches of the Father to sustain the vine and its branches. This vine into which we have been grafted is the organism of the Triune God.

　　All that God the Father is and has is centralized and embodied in Christ the Son, and all of this is realized in the Spirit of reality. Now all of this has been wrought into us and will be expressed and testified through us. John 15 has four very important items: God the Father as the source and founder, God the Son as the center and manifestation, God the Spirit as the reality and realization, and the branches as the Body, the corporate expression. The branches are vital, for they express what God is in Christ as the Spirit….The full expression depends upon the branches, the Body, for what God is in Christ the Son and as the Spirit will be expressed by the branches, the Body. All that God the Father is and has is in Christ the Son, all that the Son is and has is realized as the Spirit, and all that the Spirit has is in the Body, in the church, in us…. All that the Spirit has is expressed in us, that is, in the branches, the church. The Triune God in Christ is expressed, manifested, and glorified in the church. (The Conclusion of the New Testament, pp. 2929-2930, 2938-2939)
