林前十五10　　……因着神的恩，我成了我今天这个人，并且神的恩临到我，不是徒然的；……我比众使徒格外劳苦，但这不是我，乃是神的恩与我同在。

　　弗三8　　这恩典赐给了我……，叫我将基督那追测不尽的丰富，当作福音传给外邦人。

　　二7　　好……显示祂在基督耶稣里，向我们所施恩慈中恩典超越的丰富。

　　这恩典的管家职分乃是为着神的分赐。我们已经看见，神的心意乃是要把祂的丰富，实际上就是祂自己，分赐到祂所拣选的人里面。这些丰富分赐到我们里面之后，我们需要拿起负担，把这些丰富分赐到别人里面。对神来说，这些丰富是祂的经纶；对我们来说，这些丰富是管家职分。当这些丰富借着我们分赐到别人里面时，就成了神的分赐。当神的经纶达到我们，就成了我们的管家职分。当我们借着将基督分赐到人里面而执行管家的职分时，就成了神在他们里面的分赐。因此，我们有经纶、管家的职分和分赐（以弗所书生命读经，二九七页）。

　　1 Cor. 15:10 …By the grace of God I am what I am; and His grace unto me did not turn out to be in vain, but… I labored more abundantly than all of them, yet not I but the grace of God which is with me.

　　Eph. 3:8 To me…was this grace given to announce…the unsearchable riches of Christ as the gospel.

　　2:7 That He might display…the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

　　This stewardship of the grace is for God’s dispensation. We have seen that the desire of God’s heart is to dispense His riches, which actually are Himself, into His chosen people. After these riches have been dispensed into us, we need to take up the burden to dispense them into others. With God, these riches are His economy; with us, they are the stewardship; and when they are dispensed by us into others, they are God’s dispensation. When God’s economy reaches us, it becomes our stewardship. When we carry out our stewardship by dispensing Christ into others, it becomes the dispensation of God into them. Hence, we have the economy, the stewardship, and the dispensation. (Life-study of Ephesians, pp. 245-246)

　　恩典的管家职分乃是神分赐到人里面，作他们的享受。分赐这恩典到别人里面，乃是我们照着神经纶的管家职分。我们既有分于神作我们的享受，就能将祂当作恩典分赐到别人里面。这就是恩典的分赐。

　　保罗在以弗所三章七节说他成为执事。新约里只有一个职事，就是管家的职分，也就是将神分赐到人里面。“执事”这辞与“管家”意义相符，因为管家的服事就是把生活必需品分配给人。不仅供应神话语的弟兄，或照顾当地建造的长老是执事，每一位圣徒，每一位召会的肢体，都在这职事里有分。不要被传统观念欺骗，以为你不是执事。执事就是服事的人。福音的执事就是以福音服事人的人。一位年轻的姊妹若将基督服事给她的母亲，她就是在执行新约的职事。……年轻人，你们要到父母那里将基督服事给他们。我鼓励你们都去尽这职事。虽然在主的恢复里有千万的圣徒，但是职事只有一个，就是将基督的丰富分赐到人里面。为着这个荣耀的职事，阿利路亚！

　　我们的职事是照着神恩典的恩赐。说恩典是神作我们的享受，这意思就是，恩典是神作我们的生命和生命的供应（林前十五10，林后十二9）。这生命的供应在我们里面运行。借着这运行的生命，我们就有一种才能，那就是恩赐。所以保罗在以弗所三章七节说，他作执事乃是“照着神恩典的恩赐”。……这种才能就是恩赐，使我们成为执事，将基督分赐给人。……我们的职事乃是把基督那追测不尽的丰富，当作福音传给人。传福音不是陈明道理，也不是单单教导人神话语的字句。我们的福音乃是一个人位，带着祂一切的丰富。传这样的福音，就是把基督的丰富服事给人。……这职事是为着产生召会。使徒保罗作神管家的职事，乃是将基督那追测不尽的丰富，当作恩典分赐到信徒里面，借此产生召会。保罗的职事不仅是拯救罪人，更是为着产生召会，以完成神永远的定旨。这是他所得之恩典的管家职分的目标。

　　根据三章三节和五节，我们的职事乃是借着在灵里奥秘的启示。神的奥秘就是基督，基督的奥秘就是召会。只要我们看见基督是神的奥秘，召会是基督的奥秘，我们就有奥秘的启示在我们的灵里。这使我们能将基督服事给人（以弗所书生命读经，二九八至三○一页）。

　　参读：以弗所书生命读经，第二十八篇。

　　The stewardship of grace is the dispensing of God into people to be their enjoyment. Dispensing this grace into others is our stewardship according to God’s economy. Because we partake of God as our enjoyment, we can dispense Him as grace into others. This is the dispensation of grace.

　　In Ephesians 3:7 Paul says that he became a minister. In the New Testament there is just one ministry, which is the stewardship, the dispensing of God into people. The word minister corresponds to the word steward, for a steward is one who serves by dispensing the necessities of life to others. Not only the brothers who minister the Word of God or the elders who care for the local building are ministers, but every saint, every member of the church, has a part in the ministry. Do not be cheated by the traditional concept and think that you are not a minister. A minister is simply one who serves. A minister of the gospel serves people with the gospel. If a young sister ministers Christ to her mother, she is carrying out the New Testament ministry…Young people, go to your parents and minister Christ to them. I encourage you all to fulfill this ministry. Although there may be thousands of saints in the Lord’s recovery, there is just one ministry, the dispensing of the riches of Christ into others. Hallelujah for this glorious ministry!

　　Our ministry is according to the gift of the grace of God. To say that grace is God for our enjoyment means that grace is God as our life and life supply (1 Cor. 15:10; 2 Cor. 12:9). This life supply operates within us. By means of this operating life, we have a certain ability, which is the gift. Therefore, in Ephesians 3:7 Paul speaks of being a minister “according to the gift of the grace of God.”…This ability is the gift that makes us ministers to impart Christ to others. Our ministry is to preach the unsearchable riches of Christ as the gospel. It is not to present doctrine nor simply to teach the Word in letters. Our gospel is a person with all His riches. To preach such a gospel is to minister the riches of Christ to others. This ministry is for producing the church. The ministry of the apostle Paul as God’s steward was to bring forth the church by dispensing the unsearchable riches of Christ as grace into the believers. Paul’s ministry was not only to save sinners, but to produce the church for the fulfillment of God’s eternal purpose. This was the goal of his stewardship of grace.

　　According to 3:3 and 5, our ministry is by the revelation of the mystery in spirit. The mystery of God is Christ, and the mystery of Christ is the church. As long as we have seen Christ as the mystery of God and the church as the mystery of Christ, we have the revelation of the mystery in our spirit. This enables us to minister Christ to others. (Life-study of Ephesians, pp. 246-248)
