召会是基督的配偶─夏娃的预表(二)
Message Twenty-Five The Church as the Counterpart of Christ—the Type of Eve (2)
 

  
读经:创二18~24,弗五23~32,约三29,启二二17
Scripture Reading: Gen. 2:18-24; Eph. 5:23-32; John 3:29; Rev. 22:17
壹 
圣经中的第一对夫妇─亚当和夏娃,陈明基督与召会一幅意义重大且完整的图画─创二23:
The first couple in the Bible, Adam and Eve, presents a significant and complete picture of Christ and the church—Gen. 2:23:
一 
神并没有同时以同一种方式创造男人和女人:
God did not create man and woman at the same time and in the same way:
1 
神用地上的尘土塑造人的身体,然后将生命之气吹在他鼻孔里,人就成了活的魂─7节。
God formed man's body from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul—v. 7.
2 
当亚当睡着的时候,耶和华就从亚当身上取下一条肋骨,用这条肋骨来建造成一个女人─21~22节。
While Adam slept, the Lord took one of Adam's ribs and used it for the building of a woman—vv. 21-22.
二 
这女人在生命、性情和形状上,都与男人一样;所以,当神把女人带到亚当跟前时,亚当喊说,“这一次这是我骨中的骨,肉中的肉;”(23节上;)亚当知道他终于找到了他的配偶。(23节下。)
In life, nature, and form the woman was the same as the man; therefore, when God brought the woman to Adam, he exclaimed, "This time this is bone of my bones / And flesh of my flesh" (v. 23a); Adam knew that at last he had found his counterpart (v. 23b).
贰 
召会作基督的配偶,是由夏娃作亚当的配偶所预表─18~24节,弗五23~32:
The church as the counterpart of Christ is typified by Eve as the counter-part of Adam—vv. 18-24; Eph. 5:23-32:
一 
夏娃是亚当的一部分─创二23上:
Eve was a part of Adam—Gen. 2:23a:
1 
在预表上,这是指明召会是基督的一部分;召会一点不差就是基督自己─林前十二12。
In typology this indicates that the church is a part of Christ; the church is nothing less than Christ Himself—1 Cor. 12:12.
2 
基督的配偶召会,乃是信徒里面之基督的元素─西一27,三4,10~11:
The church, Christ's counterpart, is the element of Christ in the believers—Col. 1:27; 3:4, 10-11:
a 
召会并非不同种族、国籍、和文化的人的组成;相反的,召会乃是在所有信徒里面之基督的总和─罗八10,加二20,四19。
The church is not a composition of people of different races, nation-alities, and cultures; on the contrary, the church is the totality of the Christ who is in all the believers—Rom. 8:10; Gal. 2:20; 4:19.
b 
我们虽然是重生的人,若仍照天然的人生活行动,实际上我们就不是基督的肢体,也不是祂配偶的一部分─林前二14~16,林后十一2~3:
Although we are regenerated persons, if we live and act according to the natural man, we are not in reality members of Christ, parts of His counterpart—1 Cor. 2:14-16; 2 Cor. 11:2-3:
㈠ 
基督的肢体乃是由基督这元素所产生的人,基督乃是赐生命的灵在我们灵里─林前十五45下,六17。
A member of Christ is a person produced with the element of Christ, who is the life-giving Spirit in our spirit—1 Cor. 15:45b; 6:17.
㈡ 
当这位住在信徒里面,作为赐生命之灵的基督加在一起,总和就等于召会,祂的配偶,这配偶事实上就是基督自己的一部分─十二12。
When the Christ who dwells in His believers as the life-giving Spirit is added together, the sum equals the church, His counterpart, which is actually a part of Christ Himself—12:12.
二 
夏娃是亚当的一部分,因为她是从亚当而出─创二22上:
Eve was a part of Adam because she came out of Adam—Gen. 2:22a:
1 
召会这基督的配偶是基督的一部分,因为她是从基督而出─约十九31~33,36。
The church as the counterpart of Christ is a part of Christ because she came out of Christ—John 19:31-33, 36.
2 
创世记二章二十一节的肋骨,骨头,预表主复活的生命─基督那不能折断、不能毁坏之永远的生命─来七16,约十一25:
The rib, the bone, in Genesis 2:21 is a type of the Lord's resurrection life—the unbreakable, indestructible, eternal life of Christ—Heb. 7:16; John 11:25:
a 
这生命从祂被扎的肋旁流出来,好将生命分赐给祂的信徒,以产生并建造召会作祂的配偶─十九34。
This life flowed out of His pierced side to impart life to His believers for the producing and building up of the church as His counterpart—19:34.
b 
这不能折断的复活生命,是为着产生召会这属灵的夏娃,属灵的妻子,好与基督相配─启十九7,二一9~10。
This unbreakable resurrection life is for the producing of the spiritual Eve, the spiritual wife to match Christ—Rev. 19:7; 21:9-10.
三 
夏娃从亚当而出之后,又归给亚当─创二22下:
After Eve came out of Adam, she returned to Adam—Gen. 2:22b:
1 
这指明召会是基督的一部分,乃是出于基督,并要归给基督─弗五27。
This indicates that the church, which is a part of Christ and which has come out of Christ, returns to Christ—Eph. 5:27.
2 
惟有出于基督的才能为基督所承认,才能归给基督并与祂相配;惟有出于基督复活之生命的,才能作祂的配偶─25,30节。
Only that which comes out of Christ can be recognized by Christ and return to Christ and match Him; only that which comes out of the resur-rection life of Christ can be His counterpart—vv. 25, 30.
四 
夏娃乃是出于亚当并归给亚当,所以他们二人能成为一体─创二24:
Eve was taken out of Adam and returned to Adam so that the two of them might become one flesh—Gen. 2:24:
1 
这是表征神在基督里乃是丈夫,与祂的赎民,就是祂的配偶联合为一─启二二17。
This is a figure of God in Christ as the Husband and His redeemed people as His counterpart being joined as one—Rev. 22:17.
2 
在预表里,亚当和夏娃成了一体;在实际上,基督与召会乃是一灵,因为与主联合的,便是与主成为一灵─林前六17。
In typology, Adam and Eve became one flesh; in reality, Christ and the church are one spirit, because he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit—1 Cor. 6:17.
3 
亚当和夏娃在一起成了一个完整的单位;同样的原则,基督与召会也是一完整的单位─弗五32。
Together Adam and Eve made a complete unit; in the same principle, Christ and the church make a complete unit—Eph. 5:32.
五 
夏娃有亚当的生命与性情─创二21~22:
Eve possessed the life and nature of Adam—Gen. 2:21-22:
1 
这是表征召会与基督有同一的生命与性情─西三4,彼后一4。
This signifies that the church has the same life and nature as Christ—Col. 3:4; 2 Pet. 1:4.
2 
我们要成为基督的配偶,与祂相配,就需要在生命和性情上与基督是一;这乃是说,基督与召会这一个单位,有同样的生命和性情─约三15,29,彼后一4。
In order to match Christ as His counterpart, we need to be one with Christ in life and nature; this means that Christ and the church as one unit have the same life and nature—John 3:15, 29; 2 Pet. 1:4.
3 
因为召会是基督的配偶,所以我们这组成召会的人,必须经历基督作我们的生命并有份于祂神圣的性情─西三4,10~11,彼后一4。
Because the church is the counterpart of Christ, we who compose the church need to experience Christ as our life and partake of His divine nature—Col. 3:4, 10-11; 2 Pet. 1:4.
六 
夏娃有亚当的形像与身材─创一26,五1~2:
Eve had the image and stature of Adam—Gen. 1:26; 5:1-2:
1 
这指明召会与基督有同样的形像─西三10。
This indicates that the church bears the same image as Christ—Col. 3:10.
2 
夏娃在身材上与亚当非常相近;这指明召会应该与基督有同样的身材─弗四13。
The fact that Eve was nearly the same in stature as Adam indicates that the church should have the same stature as Christ—Eph. 4:13.
3 
我们要成为基督的配偶,就需要变化成为基督的形像,也需要完全长大,直到我们达到基督丰满之身材的度量─林后三18,弗四13。
In order to be Christ's counterpart, we need to be transformed into the image of Christ and be fully grown until we arrive at the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ—2 Cor. 3:18; Eph. 4:13.
七 
夏娃是亚当的配偶,他的补满,与他相配─创二18~20:
Eve was Adam's counterpart, his complement, to match him—Gen. 2:18-20:
1 
这表征基督受死,释放神圣的生命,(约十九34,)使祂得着召会作祂的配偶,与祂相配─弗五27,30,32。
This signifies that the result of Christ's death to release the divine life (John 19:34) is that He has obtained the church as His counterpart to match Him—Eph. 5:27, 30, 32.
2 
现今神不再单独,因为基督已经得着配偶与祂相配─约三29,启十九7,二一9~10。
Now God is no longer alone, for Christ has obtained a counterpart to match Him—John 3:29; Rev. 19:7; 21:9-10.
