读经:弗一22下~23,三8,16~21,四13,五18,约一16上,西一19,二9~10,启二一11
Scripture Reading: Eph. 1:22b-23; 3:8, 16-21; 4:13; 5:18; John 1:16a; Col. 1:19; 2:9-10; Rev. 21:11
壹 
神启示的中心乃是三一神要在人性里彰显祂自己─创一26上。
The central matter in God's revelation is that the Triune God desires to express Himself in humanity—Gen. 1:26a.
贰 
召会是基督的丰满,这乃是基督的身体极重要的启示,关系到基督的彰显─弗一22下~23:
The church as the fullness of Christ is a crucial revelation of the Body of Christ related to the expression of Christ—Eph. 1:22b-23:
一 
神要为祂的儿子得着一个身体,这个身体乃是为着来彰显祂的儿子─西一18,二19:
God desires to gain a Body for His Son, and this Body is for the expression of His Son—Col. 1:18; 2:19:
1 
神的儿子太大,太丰满,太丰盛,太丰富了;神格一切的丰满,都有形有体地居住在祂里面─西二9节。
The Son of God is great, full, abundant, and rich; all the fullness of the Godhead dwells in Him bodily—v. 9.
2 
神愿意叫祂这丰盛的儿子得着一个身体,好把祂这一切的丰盛彰显出来─弗一22~23。
God desires to have a Body for His full Christ so that all the fullness can be manifested—Eph. 1:22-23.
3 
召会是神在祂的计划里,要为祂儿子得着的一个身体,好使祂的儿子得着彰显─弗三6,五23,30。
In God's plan the church is the Body that God is seeking for His Son for the purpose of expressing Him—3:6; 5:23, 30.
二 
神在宇宙中的工作乃是要用彰显在祂儿子身上的丰满,以建造召会作祂儿子的身体,就是基督的丰满。
God's work in the universe is to use the fullness expressed in His Son to build up the church as the Body of His Son, which is the fullness of Christ.
叁 
丰满的意义:
The significance of the fullness:
一 
丰满指丰富得着完全而有的洋溢、彰显─三8。
The fullness refers to the overflow, the expression, through the completeness of the riches—3:8.
二 
基督的丰富给我们新陈代谢的吸收到里面,而将我们构成基督的丰满─基督的身体,就是召会,作祂的彰显。
When the riches of Christ are assimilated into our being metabolically, they constitute us to be the fullness of Christ, the Body of Christ, the church, as His expression.
三 
丰满指神在创造和召会里那丰富所是的完满彰显,是居住在基督里,(西一19,二9,)而神在基督里的丰满乃是基督的丰满;(弗一23,四13;)因此,神的丰满和基督的丰满是不能分开的。
The fullness, denoting the full expression of the rich being of God in both creation and the church, dwells in Christ (Col. 1:19; 2:9), and the fullness of God in Christ is the fullness of Christ (Eph. 1:23; 4:13); hence, the fullness of God and the fullness of Christ are inseparable.
四 
在以弗所三章里,使徒保罗将这丰满描绘为“阔、长、高、深”,就是基督的量度,是无法测度的;因此,神的丰满是无法测度的─弗三18节。
In Ephesians 3 this fullness is described by the apostle Paul as "the breadth and length and height and depth," which are the dimensions of Christ and are immea-surable; the fullness of God is immeasurable—v. 18.
五 
当基督安家在我们心里,当我们满有力量,能和众圣徒一同领略基督的量度,并借着经历,认识祂那超越知识的爱,我们就要被充满,成为神一切的丰满,就是召会,神团体的彰显,以完成祂的心意;这丰满的结果乃是召会中的荣耀─弗三17~19,21节。
When Christ makes His home in our hearts, and when we are full of strength to apprehend with all the saints the dimensions of Christ and to know by experience His knowledge-surpassing love, we will be filled unto all the fullness of God, which is the church, the corporate expression of God, for the fulfillment of His intention; the issue of this fullness is the glory in the church—vv. 17-19, 21.
六 
歌罗西一章十九节的丰满,指十五节神的像,就是基督。
The fullness in Colossians 1:19 refers to the image of God in verse 15, who is Christ.
肆 
“从祂的丰满里我们都领受了”─约一16上:
"Of His fullness we have all received"—John 1:16a:
一 
我们信徒都领受了基督的丰满;我们领受了在祂里面的丰满;我们里面不仅有生命,我们里面也有丰满─16节上,西二10。
We, the believers, have all received of the fullness of Christ; we have received the fullness in Him; we do not merely have life in us; we have the fullness in us—v. 16a; Col. 2:10.
二 
我们需要看见,我们已经联于我们里面的源头,这源头称为丰满,这丰满无法测度,直到永远─在时间和空间上都无法测度。
We need to see that we have been attached to a source within us called the fullness, which is immeasurable in eternity—immeasurable in time and space.
三 
召会乃是借着基督建造的工作,而能达到基督丰满之身材的度量─弗四12~13。
It is through the building work of Christ that the church can arrive at the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ—Eph. 4:12-13.
伍 
这丰满的内容启示在约翰的著作里:
The contents of the fullness are revealed in the writings of John:
一 
生命─约十一25。
Life—11:25.
二 
复活─25节。

陆 
彰显基督丰满的条件:
The conditions for expressing the fullness of Christ:
一 
经过基督建造的工作─弗四12~13:
Passing through the building work of Christ—Eph. 4:12-13:
1 
建造的工作最重要的一方面乃是拆毁;任何人还没有被神拆毁,他就没有基督身体的实际,也没有基督的丰满─太十六18,24。
The most important aspect of the building work is the tearing down; anyone who has not been torn down by God does not have the reality of the Body of Christ, nor does he have the fullness of Christ—Matt. 16:18, 24.
2 
神建造的工作得以实行,是借着话语的职事、人里面光的照耀、环境中的对付、以及那些经历基督丰满之人可听见和不说出的责备。
The building work of God is carried out through the ministry of the word, the shining of light within man, dealings in the environment, and the audible and silent reproof from those who have experienced the fullness of Christ.
二 
服从神的宝座─启四2~3,二二1:
Submitting to God's throne—Rev. 4:2-3; 22:1:
1 
召会是基督的丰满,其中心关键乃是有神的宝座在这里。
The central key to the church being the fullness of Christ is the presence of God's throne.
2 
新耶路撒冷作为召会的终极完成,其条件在于宝座;宝座若失去了,整个新耶路撒冷将灭没。
The condition of the New Jerusalem as the consummation of the church depends on the throne; if the throne is lost, the entire New Jerusalem will be obliterated.
柒 
我们需要被充满,成为神的丰满,以彰显基督身体的实际:
We need to be filled unto the fullness of God to express the reality of the Body of Christ:
一 
被充满成为神的丰满,秘诀完全是那灵在我们灵里的事,也就是调和之灵的事─弗三16~20,五18。
The secret of being filled unto the fullness of God is absolutely a matter of the Spirit in our spirit, the mingled spirit—Eph. 3:16-20; 5:18.
二 
这不是感觉的事,乃是在信里的事─林后四13,诗一一六10上,参13。
This is not a matter of feeling but a matter in faith—2 Cor. 4:13; Psa. 116:10a; cf. v. 13.
三 
对任何与主成为一灵的人,供应都是无穷无尽的─林前六17,腓一19,四23。
For anyone who is one spirit with the Lord, the supply is inexhaustible—1 Cor. 6:17; Phil. 1:19; 4:23.
捌 
丰满终极的彰显─新耶路撒冷─有神的荣耀─启二一11,四3:
The consummate expression of the fullness—the New Jerusalem—has the glory of God—Rev. 21:11; 4:3:
一 
新耶路撒冷是作神丰满以彰显神荣耀之召会的终极彰显。
The New Jerusalem is the ultimate expression of the church as the fullness of God to express God's glory.
二 
城的内容是神自己作为神的丰满;城显出来的样子也是神自己作为神的荣耀。
The content of the city is God Himself as the fullness of God; the appearance of the city is also God Himself as the glory of God.
三 
信徒得荣是使神得着终极的彰显─罗八30,21:
The believers being glorified is for God's consummate expression—Rom. 8:30, 21:
1 
最终要显明的荣耀,乃是神的终极彰显,就是祂荣耀所发的光辉─来一3。
The glory that will ultimately be manifested is the consummate expression of God, which is the effulgence of His glory—Heb. 1:3.
2 
在那荣耀里,我们将成为神的丰满,彰显三一神,直到永远。
In that glory we will be the fullness of God expressing the Triune God for eternity.
