我们需要经历基督作石头,为着召会作神的家,就是圣殿─申八9下,王上六7,约一42,彼前二4~7:
We need to experience Christ as stone for the church as the house of God, the temple—Deut. 8:9b; 1 Kings 6:7; John 1:42; 1 Pet. 2:4-7:
一 
基督是为着神建造的石头;这意思是,基督是为着神建造的材料,并且神的建造完全是出于基督的─徒四10~12,彼前二4~5。

At the end of the Bible, we have a stone-city—Rev. 21:10-11, 18a, 19-20.
4 
圣经开始于泥土人,继之以石头人,完成于石头城;这是神的经纶。
The Bible begins with a clay-man, continues with a stone-man, and consum-mates in a stone-city; this is God's economy.
三 
基督这为着神建造的石头,乃是我们靠以得救的那一位;祂是石头救主─坚实、刚强、可靠─徒四10~12。
Christ as a stone for God's building is the One in whom we are saved; He is the Stone-Savior—solid, strong, and reliable—Acts 4:10-12.

基督和祂的信徒都是为着建造神家─圣殿─的石头─太二一42,约一42,彼前二4~5:
Both Christ and His believers are stones for building the house of God, the temple—Matt. 21:42; John 1:42; 1 Pet. 2:4-5:
1 
“建殿是用…预备好的石头”─王上六7上:
"The house, when it was being built, was built of finished stone"—1 Kings 6:7a:
a 
殿里的石头表征基督在变化里的人性;基督人性的部分经过变化,好成为为着神建造的石头─赛二八16,林前三11,彼前二4,亚四7。
The stones in the temple signify Christ's humanity in transformation; Christ was transformed in His human part to be the stone for God's build-ing—Isa. 28:16; 1 Cor. 3:11; 1 Pet. 2:4; Zech. 4:7.

在基督里面并借着祂,我们渐渐变成活石,被建造成为属灵的殿;我们正在经历变化的过程,使基督这活石构成到我们里面,使我们成为为着神家的活石─5节,罗十二2,林后三18。
In Christ and through Christ we are becoming living stones to be built up as a spiritual house; we are undergoing the process of transformation so that Christ, the living stone, may be constituted into us to make us living stones for God's house—v. 5; Rom. 12:2; 2 Cor. 3:18.

基督要用以辖管列国的铁杖,表征祂的权柄─七29,八23~九8,二一23~24。
The rod of iron with which Christ will rule the nations signifies His author-ity—7:29; 8:23—9:8; 21:23-24.
2 
天上地上所有的权柄,都赐给复活的基督了─二八18:
All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to the resurrected Christ—28:18:

In His humanity, as the Son of Man and the King, authority in heaven and on earth was given to Him after His resurrection—v. 18.
c 
因为所有的权柄都已经赐给复活的基督,祂就差遣门徒去,使万民作祂的门徒;他们是带着祂的权柄去的─19节。
Because all authority was given to Him, the resurrected Christ sent His disciples to disciple the nations; they go with His authority—v. 19.
二 
属灵的权柄总是在复活里;因此,我们若要有权柄,就必须是在基督的复活生命里─罗六4~5:
Spiritual authority is always in resurrection; therefore, in order to have authority we must be in the resurrection life of Christ—Rom. 6:4-5:
1 
召会的权柄完全是在复活里的事;若是我们活在复活里,就有权利取用祂的权柄─太十八18~20。
The authority of the church is absolutely in resurrection; if we live in resur-rection, we will have the right to claim His authority—Matt. 18:18-20.
2 
我们若被作为铁的基督所构成,自然而然就有份于基督的权柄─申八9下,太六10,十六19,十八18~19。
When we are constituted with Christ as iron, we automatically share the authority of Christ—Deut. 8:9b; Matt. 6:10; 16:19; 18:18-19.
三 
城表征召会作神的国─十六19:
The city signifies the church as the kingdom of God—16:19:
1 
当召会得着扩大并加强时,神的殿就成为神的城,作为主治理并掌权的国─五14。
When the church is enlarged and strengthened, the house of God becomes the city of God as the kingdom for the Lord to rule and reign—5:14.
2 
召会是殿,乃是神的家,神居住的地方;召会是城,乃是神的国,神治理的地方─弗二19~21:
As the house, the church is God's home, the place of His dwelling; as the city, the church is God's kingdom, the place of His ruling—Eph. 2:19-21:
a 
召会是为着国度,就是说,殿是为着城;至终,神的殿成了圣城新耶路撒冷─启二一2~3。
The church is for the kingdom; that is, the house is for the city; eventually, the house of God becomes the holy city, the New Jerusalem—Rev. 21:2-3.
b 
召会是基督在生命上的扩增;国度是基督在行政上的扩增─约三29上,30上,但二34~35。
The church is Christ's increase in life, and the kingdom is Christ's in-crease in administration—John 3:29a, 30a; Dan. 2:34-35.
c 
作为神家的召会,必须扩大成为作神城的召会─提前三15,启五9~10:
The church as the house of God must be enlarged to become the church as the city of God—1 Tim. 3:15; Rev. 5:9-10:
㈠ 
基督第一步的扩大是作为神家(神殿)的召会─弗二21~22,提前三15。
The first step of the enlargement of Christ is the church as the house of God, the temple of God—Eph. 2:21-22; 1 Tim. 3:15.
㈡ 
基督第二步的扩大是作为神城(神国)的召会─罗十四17。
The second step of the enlargement of Christ is the church as the city of God, the kingdom of God—Rom. 14:17.
d 
殿主要的是与基督作生命有关,城主要的是与基督作元首同着祂的权柄(铁)有关─西三4,一18,二19,申八9下。
The house is mainly with Christ as life; the city is mainly with Christ as the Head with His authority (iron)—Col. 3:4; 1:18; 2:19; Deut. 8:9b.
e 
当我们领悟基督不仅是我们的生命,也是我们的头,召会就不仅是殿,并且还是城─弗一22~23,四15。
When we realize that Christ is not only our life but also our Head, the church will be not only the house but also the city—Eph. 1:22-23; 4:15.
四 
召会必须借着主在生命里内里的管治,活在主的权柄之下,必须运用祂的权柄有捆绑并释放的祷告,并且必须有份于属灵的争战,以带进那有基督权柄之国度的显现─太五3,8,十六19,十八18,弗六10~20,启十二10,十一15。
The church must live under the Lord's authority through His inner rule in life, must exercise His authority in binding and loosing prayer, and must engage in spiritual warfare to bring in the manifestation of the kingdom with the author-ity of Christ—Matt. 5:3, 8; 16:19; 18:18; Eph. 6:10-20; Rev. 12:10; 11:15.
