« 第十三篇 »
在福音书里(十三)救赎并分赐生命者、复活者、以及牧长
Message Thirteen In the Gospels (13) The Redeeming and Life-imparting One, the Resurrected One, and the Chief Shepherd
 

  
读经:约十九34,一29,二十17,22,二一15~21
Scripture Reading: John 19:34; 1:29; 20:17, 22; 21:15-22
壹 
在约翰十九章三十四节,我们看见基督是救赎并分赐生命者:
In John 19:34 we see that Christ is the redeeming and life-imparting One:
一 
经历并享受基督作救赎并分赐生命者,乃是基于主死的两方面─由血所表征救赎的一面,以及由水所表征分赐生命的一面─34节:
The experience and enjoyment of Christ as the redeeming and life-imparting One is based upon the two aspects of the Lord's death—the redemptive aspect signified by the blood and the life-imparting aspect signified by the water—v. 34:
1 
血是为着救赎,为着买召会而对付罪─一29,来九22,徒二十28。
Blood is for redemption, to deal with sins for the purchasing of the church— 1:29; Heb. 9:22; Acts 20:28.
2 
水是为着分赐生命,为着产生召会而对付死─约十二24,三14~15,弗五29~30。
Water is for imparting life, to deal with death for the producing of the church—John 12:24; 3:14-15; Eph. 5:29-30.
二 
我们这些罪人需要在法理上蒙救赎,脱离神照着祂律法公义的要求而有的定罪,并在生机上凭祂的生命蒙拯救,脱离罪所带进来的死─加三13,提后一10,罗五10。
As sinners, we need to be redeemed judicially from God's condemnation according to the righteous requirement of the law and to be saved organically by His life from the death brought in by sin—Gal. 3:13; 2 Tim. 1:10; Rom. 5:10.
三 
神的定旨是要生命的分赐随着救赎,因为神的心意是要将祂自己分赐到我们里面作生命;因此,救赎为释放神圣的生命预备道路,使这生命分赐到我们里面,以产生召会─约一29,三15~16,罗三24~25,八2,6,10~11。
God's purpose is that redemption be followed by the imparting of life, for God's intention is to dispense Himself into us as life; therefore, redemption prepares the way for the release of the divine life so that this life may be dispensed into us for the producing of the church—John 1:29; 3:15-16; Rom. 3:24-25; 8:2, 6, 10-11.
贰 
在约翰二十章,基督被启示为复活者,将祂的信徒带进父神里面,并将圣灵吹入他们里面─17,22节:
In John 20 Christ is revealed as the resurrected One who brought His believers into God the Father and breathed the Holy Spirit into them—vv. 17, 22:
一 
基督这复活者将祂的信徒带进父神里面,使祂的父成为他们的父,祂的神成为他们的神,使他们成为祂的众弟兄─十四20,二十17:
Christ, as the resurrected One, brings His believers into God the Father, making His Father their Father and His God their God and making them His brothers—14:20; 20:17:
1 
在复活里,祂的门徒和祂一样,也成为神的儿子─17节。
In resurrection His disciples became the same as He insofar as they also were sons of God—v. 17.
2 
那许多弟兄是父生命的繁殖,也是子在神圣生命里的扩增;因此,在基督的复活里,神永远的定旨得以完成─十二24,弗三9~11。
The many brothers are the propagation of the Father's life and the multiplication of the Son in the divine life; hence, in Christ's resurrection God's eternal purpose is fulfilled—12:24; Eph. 3:9-11.
3 
基督使祂的父成为门徒的父,使祂的神成为门徒的神,借此将他们带到祂在父神面前的地位上,就是子的地位上;因此,无论在内里的生命和性情上,还是在外面的地位上,他们都与所联结为一的主一样─约十四20。
By making His Father and His God the Father and God of the disciples, Christ has brought them into His position—the position of the Son—before the Father and God; thus, in life and nature inwardly and in position outwardly they are the same as the Lord, with whom they have been made one—John 14:20.
二 
基督这复活者将圣灵,就是那是灵的基督,也就是那赐生命之灵的基督,吹入祂的信徒里面─二十22,林前十五45下:
Christ as the resurrected One breathed the Holy Spirit into His believers, as the pneumatic Christ, the Christ who is the life-giving Spirit—20:22; 1 Cor. 15:45b:
1 
约翰二十章二十二节里的圣灵,事实上就是复活的基督自己,因为这灵就是祂的气;圣灵就是子的气。
The Holy Spirit in John 20:22 is actually the resurrected Christ Himself because the Spirit is His breath; the Holy Spirit is the breath of the Son.
2 
复活的基督把祂自己吹入门徒里面,借此将祂自己分赐到他们里面作生命和一切─22节,十一25。
By breathing Himself into the disciples, the resurrected Christ imparted Himself into them as life and everything—v. 22; 11:25.
3 
从那时起,祂就真与祂的门徒是一,因祂成了他们内里的所是;祂已进入他们里面,作他们属灵生命和所是的神圣素质─林前六17,约十五4~5。
From that time onward, He was truly one with His disciples, for He had become their intrinsic being; He had entered into them to be the divine essence of their spiritual life and being—1 Cor. 6:17; John 15:4-5.
4 
主就是那赐人生命的灵,而这灵乃是我们的气息─林后三6,17,约二十22:
The Lord is the Spirit who gives life, and this Spirit is our breath—2 Cor. 3:6, 17; John 20:22:
a 
话,就是神,成为肉体作神的羔羊,并且在复活里成了圣气给我们吸入─一29,二十22。
The Word, who was God, became flesh to be the Lamb of God, and in resurrection He became the holy breath for us to breathe in—1:29; 20:22.
b 
那灵作为气,是我们过基督徒生活的一切;惟有这气才能作基督徒,也惟有这气才能作得胜者─启二7。
The Spirit as breath is everything to us in living the Christian life; only the breath can be a Christian, and only the breath can be an overcomer— Rev. 2:7.
参 
在约翰二十一章十五至二十二节,基督被揭示为牧长:
In John 21:15-22 Christ is unveiled as the Chief Shepherd:
一 
基督在复活里作牧长,与信徒一同作工行事,借着牧养祂的群羊而建造召会─彼前五4。
In resurrection Christ worked and walked with the believers as the Chief Shepherd to build up the church by shepherding His flock—1 Pet. 5:4.
二 
主作为在复活里的大牧人,嘱咐祂的门徒用他们生命的代价,喂养并牧养祂的小羊和羊,并借着跟随祂为羊舍弃魂生命的榜样,而荣耀神─来十三20,约二一19~22,十11,15,约壹三16:
As the great Shepherd in resurrection, the Lord charged His disciples to feed and shepherd His lambs and sheep at the cost of their life and to glorify God by following His pattern of laying down His soul-life for the sheep—Heb. 13:20; John 21:19-22; 10:11, 15; 1 John 3:16:
1 
我们的牧养应当是基督借着我们牧养;当基督借着我们牧养时,我们的劳苦就是在复活里─约十一25。
Our shepherding should be Christ shepherding through us; when Christ shepherds through us, our labor is in resurrection—John 11:25.
2 
喂养小羊是用里面生命的丰富滋养人,牧养羊是为着召会的建造─二一15~17。
Lamb-feeding is by the nourishing with the riches of the inner life, and sheep-shepherding is for the building up of the church—21:15-17.
3 
牧养是为着“羊群”,就是召会,所以牧养与神的建造有关─十14,16,徒二十28,太十六18。
Shepherding is for the "flock," which is the church; therefore, it is related to God's building—10:14, 16; Acts 20:28; Matt. 16:18.
三 
主恢复了彼得对祂的爱,并嘱咐他喂养小羊并牧养羊之后,就预言彼得的殉道,借此教导门徒要至死跟从祂─约二一18~22:
After restoring Peter's love for Him and charging him with lamb-feeding and sheep-shepherding, the Lord, by predicting Peter's martyrdom, instructed the disciples to follow Him unto death—John 21:18-22:
1 
我们都必须跟从主这为羊舍命的好牧人;我们至死跟从祂,就是荣耀神─十11,15,二一19。
We all must follow the Lord as the good Shepherd who laid down His life for the sheep; our following Him even unto death is to glorify God—10:11, 15; 21:19.
2 
我们重生并受主托付之后,必须不计任何代价爱主,并且不惜任何牺牲跟从祂到底─15~19节。
After we have been regenerated and commissioned by the Lord, we must love Him at any cost and follow Him to the end at any sacrifice—vv. 15-19.
3 
我们借着跟从主为群羊舍命的榜样,就会完成主的定旨,以喂养祂的小羊并牧养、喂养祂的羊─十15,18,二一15~17,约壹三16。
By following the Lord's pattern of laying down His life for the sheep, we will accomplish the Lord's purpose to feed His lambs and to shepherd and feed His sheep—10:15, 18; 21:15-17; 1 John 3:16.
