来九3 第二幔子后，还有一层帐幕，叫作至圣所。

　　十19~20　 弟兄们，我们既因耶稣的血，得以坦然进入至圣所，是借着祂给我们开创了一条又新又活的路，从幔子经过，这幔子就是祂的肉体。

　　两步的和好，由帐幕的两层幔子清楚地描绘出来。头一层幔子称为帘子（出二六37）。罪人借着平息之血的和好被带到神这里，就经过这帘子进入圣所。这预表和好的第一步。但还有第二层幔子（31~35，来九3），将他与在至圣所里的神隔开。这层幔子需要裂开，使他能被带到至圣所里的神这里。这是和好的第二步。哥林多的信徒已经与神和好，经过头一层幔子进入了圣所；但他们仍活在肉体里，还需要经过已经裂开的第二层幔子（太二七51，来十20），进入至圣所，在他们的灵里与神同活（林前六17）。哥林多后书的目的就是要带他们到这里，使他们成为在灵里（林前二15），在至圣所里的人。使徒说，“求你们：要与神和好”〔林后五20〕，就是这意思（哥林多后书生命读经，三七九页）。

　　Heb. 9:3 And after the second veil, a tabernacle, which is called the Holy of Holies.

　　10:19-20 Having therefore, brothers, boldness for entering the Holy of Holies in the blood of Jesus, which entrance He initiated for us as a new and living way through the veil, that is, His flesh.

　　[The] two steps of reconciliation are clearly portrayed by the two veils of the tabernacle. The first veil is called “the screen” (Exo. 26:37). A sinner who was brought to God through the reconciliation of the propitiating blood entered into the Holy Place by passing this screen. This typifies the first step of reconciliation. The second veil (vv. 31-35; Heb. 9:3) still separated him from God, who was in the Holy of Holies. This veil needed to be rent that the sinner might be brought to God in the Holy of Holies. This is the second step of reconciliation. The Corinthian believers had been reconciled to God, having passed through the first veil and having entered into the Holy Place. But they still lived in the flesh. They needed to pass the second veil, which had been rent already (Matt. 27:51; Heb. 10:20), to enter into the Holy of Holies to live with God in their spirit (1 Cor. 6:17). The goal of 2 Corinthians was to bring them there that they might be persons in the spirit (1 Cor. 2:15), in the Holy of Holies. This is what the apostle meant by saying, “Be reconciled to God.” (Life-study of 2 Corinthians, pp. 319-320)

　　在旧约里，罪人要就近神，必须先来到祭坛，借着赎罪祭的血使罪得赦。他经历罪得赦免之后，才能进入圣所。这是和好的第一步，罪人借此开始与神和好。这是当时哥林多信徒的光景，也是今天大多数真基督徒的光景。他们已经借着十字架，局部地与神和好了；在十字架上，基督作了我们的赎罪祭而死，流出祂的血洗去我们的罪。我们相信祂的时候，神赦免了我们，我们就与神和好，被带回来归给祂。……然而，我们只是局部地与神和好，还不够彻底。依照圣经，和好的含意远超过仅仅被带回归神。和好乃是被带到神里面。因此，照圣经来看，把人带到神那里，意思就是把他们带到神里面，使他们完全与神成为一。但是在许多基督教的教导中，与神是一这件事受到误解。……就着丈夫与妻子而言，有一种团体的一。但在圣经中，与神是一的意思是与祂调和。这就是在神里面，并且让神进到我们里面。圣经中的与神是一，是一种我们进到神里面、神进到我们里面的一。因此，主耶稣说，“你们要住在我里面，我也住在你们里面。”（约十五4）祂并没有说，“你们要与我同住，我就与你们同住。”有些基督徒竟然反对“借着与神调和而与神是一”这个合乎圣经的奇妙观念，这是何等可惜！

　　我们一直不断需要和好的职事，就是保罗受托付的职事，直到我们完全与主是一，完全在祂里面，并让祂完全在我们里面。保罗受了托付，要作一个工，把信徒完全且实际地带进神里面。我们一旦看见这一点，便有资格明白林后五章的末段和六章的前段。……与神和好就是被带进神里面，……和好的职事就是把人带进神里面的职事。

　　哥林多的信徒中间有许多难处，这一切难处表明，这些信徒并没有完全在神里面。……他们虽然得救，并从神而生，但他们并没有在祂里面生活。因此，他们在日常生活的许多事上，乃是在神以外。所以，保罗有负担把他们带进神里面。这就是使他们与神和好（哥林多后书生命读经，三七九至三八○、四○二至四○三页）。

　　In the Old Testament, when a sinner came to God, he first had to come to the altar to have his sins forgiven through the blood of the sin offering. After experiencing the forgiveness of sins, he could enter the Holy Place. This is the first step of reconciliation, the step by which a sinner begins to be reconciled to God. This was the situation of the believers at Corinth, and it is also the situation of most genuine Christians today. They have been reconciled to God in part through the cross upon which Christ died as our sin offering, where He shed His blood to wash away our sins. When we believed in Him, we were forgiven by God, reconciled to Him, and brought back to Him…However, we have been reconciled to God only partly, halfway.

　　The biblical understanding of reconciliation includes more than merely being brought back to God. It is to be brought back into Him. Therefore, according to the Bible, to bring others to God means to bring them into God and to make them absolutely one with Him. However, in much Christian teaching, the matter of oneness with God is wrongly understood…In the case of a husband and wife, there is a kind of corporate oneness. But in the Bible to be one with God means to be mingled with Him. It is to be in God and to allow God to come into us. Biblical oneness with God is a oneness in which we enter into God and God enters into us. Therefore, the Lord Jesus said, “Abide in Me and I in you” (John 15:4). He did not say, “Abide with Me and I with you.” What a shame that some Christians oppose this wonderful biblical concept of being one with God by being mingled with Him!

　　Until we are wholly one with the Lord, being in Him and allowing Him to be in us absolutely, we will continue to need the ministry of reconciliation, the ministry with which Paul was commissioned. Paul was commissioned with the work of bringing the believers into God in a way that was absolute and practical. Once we see this, we are qualified to understand the last part of chapter 5 and the first part of chapter 6 of 2 Corinthians. To be reconciled is to be brought into God and…the ministry of reconciliation is the ministry of bringing others into God.

　　There were many problems among the believers at Corinth. All those problems were signs that those believers were not absolutely in God… Although they had been saved and born of God, they were not living in Him. For this reason, concerning many items in their daily living, they were outside of God. Therefore, Paul was burdened to bring them into God. This was to reconcile them to God. (Life-study of 2 Corinthians, pp. 320, 339-340)
