叁 约翰福音乃是基督作生命为着建造召会作活神的殿的福音；这建造的工作是借着我们经历并享受钉死并复活的基督作生命树而完成的—启二4~7，彼前二24，约十一25，六57、63，林后六16： |
Ⅲ The Gospel of John is the gospel of Christ as life for the building up of the church as the temple of the living God; this building work is carried out through our experience and enjoyment of the crucified and resurrected Christ as the tree of life—Rev. 2:4-7; 1 Pet. 2:24; John 11:25; 6:57, 63; 2 Cor. 6:16: |
一 生命的原则是变死亡为生命（约二1~11），生命的目的乃是建造召会作神的家，神的殿（12~22）；因此，主宣告：“你们拆毁这殿，我三日内要将它建立起来。”（19）。 |
A The principle of life is to change death into life (John 2:1-11), and the purpose of life is to build the church as the house of God, the temple of God (vv. 12-22); thus, the Lord declared, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up” (v. 19). |
二 借着主在十字架上的死，就是祂物质的身体被拆毁，祂担当我们的过犯和罪孽，以救赎并称义我们，并且祂的死乃为医治我们的疾病—赛五三4~6，罗三23~26，彼前二24。 |
B Through His death, the destruction of His physical body on the cross, He bore our transgressions and iniquities to redeem and justify us, and His death was for the healing of our diseases—Isa. 53:4-6; Rom. 3:23-26; 1 Pet. 2:24. |
三 主物质的身体被拆毁，也使那掌死权的魔鬼被废除；当祂死在十字架上时，旧造、旧人、肉体、撒但、罪、诸罪和世界都被钉在十字架上；因此，在神的眼中，在基督钉十字架后，整个宇宙就已经被清理了—来二14，罗六6，加二20，五24，约一29，三14，六70~71，十二31，太十六23，林前十五3。 |
C The destruction of the Lord’s physical body was also the destruction of the devil, who has the power of death; when He died on the cross, the old creation, the old man, the flesh, Satan, sin, sins, and the world were crucified on the cross; thus, in the eyes of God, after Christ’s crucifixion, the entire universe has been cleared up—Heb. 2:14; Rom. 6:6; Gal. 2:20; 5:24; John 1:29; 3:14; 6:70-71; 12:31; Matt. 16:23; 1 Cor. 15:3. |
四 主物质的身体被拆毁，以及祂在三天内复活，也是祂作为一粒麦子死了，并且复活，将神的神圣生命，就是神的神圣之火，释放并分赐到祂许多信徒里面，使祂的许多信徒成为神的复制品—约十二24，路十二49~51。 |
D The destruction of the Lord’s physical body and His being raised up in three days were also His dying as a grain of wheat and resurrecting to release and dispense the divine life of God as the divine fire of God into His many believers to make His many believers the reproduction of God—John 12:24; Luke 12:49-51. |
五 借着基督的死与复活，祂物质的身体就得着扩增，成为祂团体、奥秘的身体，就是神宇宙的殿，也就是召会作活神的家—林前三16~17，提前三15，彼前二5，弗二21~22。 |
E Through Christ’s death and resurrection, His physical body has been increased to be His corporate and mystical Body, which is the universal temple of God, the church as the house of the living God—1 Cor. 3:16-17; 1 Tim. 3:15; 1 Pet. 2:5; Eph. 2:21-22. |
六 许多住处就是基督身体的许多肢体；这身体就是神的殿—约十四2、23，罗十二5，林前三16~17。 |
F The many abodes are the many members of the Body of Christ, which is God’s temple—John 14:2, 23; Rom. 12:5; 1 Cor. 3:16-17. |
七 我们既是基督那释放生命的死所产生的许多子粒，也是基督那分赐生命的复活所产生基督奥秘身体的许多住处，就必须是爱祂到极点的人，过钉十字架的生活，好借着那在瓦器里之宝贝的大能，将复活的生命显明出来—约十四21、23，罗八28~29，林后四7~18，十二7~9。 |
G As the many grains produced by Christ’s life-releasing death and the many abodes of Christ’s mystical Body produced by Christ’s life-dispensing resurrection, we must be those who love Him to the uttermost in our living a crucified life for the manifestation of the resurrection life by the power of the treasure in our earthen vessels—John 14:21, 23; Rom. 8:28-29; 2 Cor. 4:7-18; 12:7-9. |

约二19 耶稣回答说，你们拆毁这殿，我三日内要将它建立起来。 21 但耶稣是以祂的身体为殿说的。 林后六16 ……因为我们是活神的殿……。 约翰二章先有变水为酒的事例（1~11），然后紧接着有对付殿的事例（12~22）。……为何对付殿紧接在变死亡为生命之后？这表明生命乃是为着神的殿（家）。……生命是为着神的建造。……在对付殿的事上，我们看见生命的目的乃是建造神的家（约翰福音生命读经，九○页）。 |
John 2:19 Jesus answered and said to them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. 21 But He spoke of the temple of His body. 2 Cor. 6:16 ...For we are the temple of the living God... In John 2 we first have the case of changing water into wine (2:1-11) and then, following that, the case of dealing with the temple (2:12-22)... Why does the dealing with the temple follow the changing of death into life? It shows that life is for God’s temple... Life is for God’s building... In the case of the dealing with the temple, we see the goal, the purpose of life, that is, to build the house of God. (Life-study of John, p. 79) |

主耶稣告诉反对祂的人，他们若拆毁这殿，祂三日内要将它再建立起来（约二19）。……主〔的意思〕是说，“你们可以将我治死，你们也能在十字架上杀死我的身体，但我要叫这身体三日内再建立起来。”……耶稣物质的身体在十字架上被犹太人拆毁。基督成为肉体时，穿上了物质的身体。约翰一章十四节清楚告诉我们，祂物质的身体乃是帐幕。按照二章，祂物质的身体也是殿〔21〕。……因着撒但知道耶稣物质的身体是神在地上的居所，他就尽所能地拆毁那身体；他借着犹太人，在十字架上的确拆毁了那身体。 撒但在十字架上拆毁了主物质的身体以后，祂的身体被放在坟墓里，安息在那里。……当耶稣起来的时候，祂自己叫祂那死了、被埋葬的身体复活。耶稣在十字架上被拆毁的身体是微小软弱的；基督在复活里的身体是广大有能的。……在主复活以后，祂的身体，就是殿，在更大的规模里被建立起来。仇敌借钉十字 架所拆毁的，仅仅是耶稣的身体；而主在复活里所复活的，不仅是祂自己的身体，更是每一位借信与祂联合的人（彼前一3，弗二6）。 一旦一个地方召会被破坏、被拆毁了，你可以确信，她在复活里，将比原初更扩大。主耶稣总是胜过仇敌的。不要因撒但的工作惊慌。许多时候我们无须这么迫切地祷告。……安心吧。不要因撒但的活动惊慌。当主耶稣知道犹太人想要拆毁祂，祂并没有祷告说，“父啊，杀死这些犹太人。父啊，救我，保护我。”祂没有这样祷告，反而似乎告诉他们说，“尽所能的杀我吧。要确信，你们杀死我之后，我会得着机会扩增。”没有一个人能阻挠主的定旨。仇敌越想要阻挠，就越给主机会来作更多。主所作的总是在复活里。主“三日内”将殿建立起来，表征祂是在复活里建造。 常常有人像犹太人一样向我们挑战，要看我们能行什么神迹。我们不该受试诱想要行神迹。我们必须跟随主耶稣，让我们自己被治死，然后基督就要在复活里显明出来。这就是在召会的建造上所需要的神迹，表号。为着建造召会，唯一的神迹乃是在复活里的生命。 今天我们仍在“三日”内，因为主仍在复活的过程中，为着祂身体的建造作工。主的身体有一大部分已经复活，但还有一些肢体还没有复活。因此主的身体仍在复活的过程之中。甚至在你自己身上，也只有一部分是已经变化的；就是说，只有一部分是已经复活的。主继续借着变化的过程，作工在你身上。你仍在复活的过程中。召会今天仍在那三日复活的过程中（约翰福音生命读经，九五至九九页）。 参读：罗马书的结晶，第二篇。 |
The Lord Jesus told His opponents that if they destroyed this temple He would raise it again in three days (2:19)... The Lord was saying, “You may put Me to death and you may kill My body on the cross, but I will raise it up again in three days.” The physical body of Jesus was destroyed on the cross by the Jews. When Christ became flesh, He took on a physical body. In John 1:14 we are told clearly that His physical body was a tabernacle. According to John 2, His physical body was also the temple... Since Satan realized that the physical body of Jesus was God’s dwelling place on earth, he did his best to destroy that body. And he did destroy it on the cross through the Jews. After Satan destroyed the Lord’s physical body on the cross, His body was put into a tomb and rested there... When Jesus arose, He Himself raised up His dead and buried body. The body of Jesus that was destroyed on the cross was small and weak; the Body of Christ in resurrection is vast and powerful... After the Lord’s resurrection, His Body, that is, the temple, was reared up on a much larger scale. The body the enemy destroyed by crucifixion was merely the body of Jesus; what was raised by the Lord in resurrection was not only His own body, but everyone who is joined to Him by faith (1 Pet. 1:3; Eph. 2:6). Once a local church has been damaged and destroyed, you can be assured that, in resurrection, it will become even larger than it was originally. The Lord Jesus is always more prevailing than the enemy. Do not be frightened by Satan’s work. Many times there is no need for us to pray so desperately... Be at peace. Do not be terrified by Satan’s activity. When the Lord Jesus knew that the Jews were attempting to destroy Him, He did not pray, “O Father, kill all these Jews. Father, save Me and protect Me.” Instead of praying that way, the Lord seemed to tell them, “Do your best to kill Me. Be assured that after you put Me to death I will have the opportunity to increase.” No one can frustrate the purpose of the Lord. The more the enemy tries to do, the more he affords the opportunity for the Lord to do something more. Whatever the Lord does is always in resurrection. The Lord builds the temple “in three days,” signifying that He builds it in resurrection. Oftentimes people, like the Jews, will challenge us to see what miracles we can do. We should not be tempted to try to perform miracles. We have to follow the Lord Jesus and let ourselves be put to death. Then Christ will be manifested in resurrection. This is the miracle, the sign, that is needed in the building up of the church. The unique sign for the building up of the church is life in resurrection. Today, we are still within “the three days,” because the Lord is still working for the building of His Body under the process of resurrection. A great part of the Lord’s Body has already been raised, but there are still some members of His Body who are not yet raised. Therefore, the Lord’s Body is still in the process of resurrection. Even with yourself, only a part has been transformed, which means that only a part has been resurrected. The Lord continues to work on you through the process of transformation. You are still in the process of resurrection. The church today is still in the three days’ process of resurrection.
