林前一24 ……基督总是神的能力，神的智慧。

　　30　 但你们得在基督耶稣里，是出于神，这基督成了从神给我们的智慧：公义、圣别和救赎。

　　在王上四章二十九至三十四节我们看见，所罗门蒙神所赐的智慧，使他在他的时代，在世上非常伟大。神赐给他极大的聪明和宽广的心，如同海边的沙那样不可测量（29）。因此，所罗门有宽广的心。……所罗门在他的智慧里，说过箴言三千句，写过诗歌一千零五首（王上四32）。不仅如此，他讲论草木，……又讲论走兽、飞鸟、爬物和鱼（33）。

　　所罗门的智慧完全是在物质的范围里，没有一点属灵的成分。他的智慧与保罗的智慧截然不同。保罗的智慧是属灵的智慧，论到基督安家在我们心里（弗三17），我们照着灵行事为人（罗八4），以及二灵—神的灵和人的灵（16）。今天，那是灵的神乃是包罗万有的灵、复合的灵、赐生命的灵、内住的灵、施膏的灵、启示的灵以及终极完成的灵，作经过过程之三一神的终极完成（列王纪生命读经，二八至二九页）。

　　1 Cor. 1:24 ...Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.

　　30 But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became wisdom to us from God: both righteousness and sanctification and redemption.

　　In 1 Kings 4:29-34 we see that Solomon’s God-given wisdom made him great in the world in his days. God gave him very much understanding and largeness of heart, even as the sand on the seashore (v. 29). Solomon, therefore, had a large heart... In his wisdom Solomon spoke 3, 00 proverbs and wrote 1, 05 songs (1 Kings 4:32). Furthermore, he discoursed about trees... ; he discoursed also about animals, birds, creeping things, and fish (v. 33).

　　Solomon’s wisdom was absolutely in the physical realm, without any spiritual element. His wisdom was altogether different from the wisdom of Paul. Paul’s wisdom was a spiritual wisdom concerning Christ making His home in our hearts (Eph. 3:17), our walking and having our being according to the spirit (Rom. 8:4), and the two spirits—the divine Spirit and the human spirit (v. 16). Today, God the Spirit is the all-inclusive Spirit, the compound Spirit, the life-giving Spirit, the indwelling Spirit, the anointing Spirit, the revealing Spirit, and the consummated Spirit as the consummation of the processed Triune God. (Life-study of 1 & 2 Kings, p. 23)

　　耶和华在梦中向所罗门显现，应许凡他所求的，必赐给他（王上三5）。

　　所罗门求耶和华赐他智慧和聪明的心，可以审断神的民（6~9）。智慧是在我们灵里的事，聪明是在我们心思里的事。……常常我们灵里也许有智慧，心思里却缺少领悟的性能。因此，我们灵里需要神的智慧，心思里需要神的悟性。

　　 我们不该过于欣赏所罗门的荣耀。主耶稣说到野地的百合花时，说，“我告诉你们，就是所罗门在他极盛的荣耀里，也没有披戴得像这些花中的一朵。”（太六29）……所罗门自己至终承认，他所有并所作的，乃是虚空的虚空（传一2）。

　　圣经是由两部分组成的。第一部分是旧约，包含预表、影儿和表号。这些预表、影儿和表号的实际，乃是在第二部分—新约—里。所罗门的智慧是那要来之真智慧的影儿。

　　在这两部分之间的过渡时期，主耶稣说，“妇人所生的，没有一个兴起来大过施浸者约翰的；然而在诸天的国里最小的比他还大。”（太十一11）施浸者约翰，新约时代的先锋，比所罗门还大，但我们新约的信徒更大。这就是说，在神的经纶里，我们比所罗门还大。……我们生为人类，但我们已重生、变化并拔高成为另一类。我们不只是在新造里的人；我们乃是神人。

　　门徒无法充分领会主关于施浸者约翰的话。后来主告诉他们，实际的灵要来，将一切的事宣示与他们（约十六12~15）。神经纶的奥秘主要是宣示与保罗（弗三3~5）。……今天我们若要认识宇宙中最高的智慧，就必须读保罗的书信。我们必须进入圣经启示的内在意义，尤其是保罗书信中真理的结晶。真正的智慧乃是神；神具体化身在基督里，基督又成了我们的智慧，在我们里面（林前一24、30），使我们与神是一，并使我们在生命和性情上成为神。这是何等的智慧！（列王纪生命读经，二三、三○至三二页）。

　　参读：人的破碎与灵的出来，第六至八篇。

　　Jehovah appeared to Solomon in a dream and promised to give him whatever he would ask (1 Kings 3:5).

　　Solomon asked Jehovah to give him wisdom and an understanding heart to judge God’s people (vv. 6-9). Wisdom is a matter in our spirit, and understanding is a matter in our mind... Quite often we may have wisdom in our spirit but are lacking the capacity to understand in our mind. Thus, we need God’s wisdom in our spirit and God’s understanding in our mind.

　　We should not overly appreciate Solomon’s glory. The Lord Jesus said of the lilies of the field, “I tell you that not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed like one of these” (Matt. 6:29)... Solomon himself eventually admitted that what he had and did was vanity of vanities (Eccl. 1:2).

　　The Bible is composed of two sections. The first section, the Old Testament, contains types, shadows, and figures. The reality of the types, shadows, and figures is in the second section, the New Testament. Solomon’s wisdom was a shadow of the real wisdom which was to come.

　　In the transition period between these two sections, the Lord Jesus said, “Among those born of women there has not arisen one greater than John the Baptist, yet he who is least in the kingdom of the heavens is greater than he” (Matt. 11:11). John the Baptist, a pioneer of the New Testament age, was greater than Solomon, but as New Testament believers we are greater still. This means that, in God’s economy, we are greater than Solomon... We were born into mankind, but we have been regenerated, transformed, and uplifted to be another kind. We are not just men in the new creation; we are God-men.

　　The disciples could not have fully understood the Lord’s word concerning John the Baptist. Later He told them that the Spirit of reality would come and disclose all things to them (John 16:12-15). The mysteries of God’s economy were disclosed mainly to Paul (Eph. 3:3-5)... Today, if we would know the highest wisdom in the universe, we must come to Paul’s Epistles. We must get into the intrinsic significance of the revelation of the Bible, especially the crystallization of the truths in Paul’s Epistles. The real wisdom is God, and God is embodied in Christ, who has become our wisdom to be in us (1 Cor. 1:24, 30), making us one with God and making us God in life and in nature. What a wisdom this is! (Life-study of 1 & 2 Kings, pp. 18, 24-25)
