Message Six The Recovery of the Church
 

  
读经:太十六18,十八17,弗一22~23,三9~11,四16,罗十四17
Scripture Reading: Matt. 16:18; 18:17; Eph. 1:22-23; 3:9-11; 4:16; Rom. 14:17
壹 
我们说到召会的恢复,意即召会原初有一种情形,后来却失去、受了破坏或被误解,现今需要复原,回归原初的情形─太十六18:
When we speak of the recovery of the church, we mean that something was there originally, that it became lost, damaged, or misunderstood, and that now there is the need to bring that thing back to its original state—Matt. 16:18:
一 
经过了许多世纪的历史,召会已经堕落了,所以需要恢复到照着神原初心意的光景─弗一4~5、11、22~23,二15,三9~11。
Because the church has become degraded through the many centuries of its history, it needs to be recovered according to God's original intention—Eph. 1:4-5, 11, 22-23; 2:15; 3:9-11.
二 
我们对于召会的异象,应当受到管治,不是照着现今的情形或传统的作法,乃是照着圣经里所启示,神原初的心意和标准─21节,五23~27、29、32。
Concerning the church, our vision should be governed not by the present situation nor by traditional practice but by God's original intention and standard as revealed in the Scriptures—v. 21; 5:23-27, 29, 32.
三 
召会是神心头的愿望─三9~11,五25:
The church is the heart's desire of God—3:9-11; 5:25:
1 
召会是神的召会,为父神拣选并预定,为子神救赎,并为灵神盖印─林前十32,弗一3~14。
The church is the church of God, chosen and predestinated by God the Father, redeemed by God the Son, and sealed by God the Spirit—1 Cor. 10:32; Eph. 1:3-14.
2 
召会是活神的家,真理的柱石和根基,使神显现于肉体─提前三15~16。
The church is the house of the living God, the pillar and base of the truth, for His manifestation in the flesh—1 Tim. 3:15-16.
3 
召会是基督的身体,是那在万有中充满万有者的丰满,作祂的彰显─弗一22~23。
The church is the Body of Christ, the fullness of the One who fills all in all, for His expression—Eph. 1:22-23.
4 
召会是基督的妻子,是祂的配偶─五23~27。
The church is the wife of Christ, His counterpart—5:23-27.
5 
召会乃是新人─二15。
The church is the new man—2:15.
6 
召会在宇宙一面存在为独一的宇宙召会,但在地方上彰显为许多地方召会─一22~23,启一4上、11。
The church exists universally as the unique universal church, but it is expressed locally as many local churches—1:22-23; Rev. 1:4a, 11.
贰 
召会的恢复是由以色列人从被掳归回所预表的─拉一3~11:
The recovery of the church is typified by the return of the children of Israel from their captivity—Ezra 1:3-11:
一 
正如以色列人后来的历史所预表的,恢复就是离开巴比伦─被掳与分裂的立场;召会的恢复包含归回,就是从巴比伦所表征被掳和分裂的立场归回─11节,启十七5。
As typified by the latter part of the history of the children of Israel, the recovery is from Babylon—the capturing and divisive ground; the recovery of the church involves a return from the capturing and divisive ground signified by Babylon—v. 11; Rev. 17:5.
二 
以色列人的恢复,不仅是从巴比伦出来,乃是要归回到耶路撒冷,就是神所命定独一的立场;耶路撒冷是主所拣选的地方─申十二5。
The recovery of the children of Israel was not only from Babylon but also back to Jerusalem, the God-ordained unique ground; Jerusalem was the place the Lord had chosen—Deut. 12:5.
三 
那些从巴比伦回到耶路撒冷的人,乃是带着所有被掳到巴比伦之神殿的器皿;这些器皿是银的、金的,表征对基督并基督之丰富的经历─拉一5~11。
Those who went back to Jerusalem from Babylon brought with them all the vessels of the temple of God, which had been captured to Babylon; these vessels, which were of silver and gold, signify the experiences of Christ and the riches of Christ—Ezra 1:5-11.
四 
召会的恢复,也是由神的子民从巴比伦归回后,在耶路撒冷重建神的殿,就是神的家所预表;因此,恢复不只是要带着神殿的器皿回到耶路撒冷,也是要重建神的殿─3节。
The recovery of the church is typified also by the rebuilding of the temple of God, the house of God, in Jerusalem after the return of God's people from Babylon; thus, the recovery is a matter not only of going back to Jerusalem with the vessels of the temple of God but also of rebuilding the temple of God—v. 3.
五 
召会的恢复是由耶路撒冷城的重建所预表─尼二11、17。
The recovery of the church is typified by the rebuilding of the city of Jerusalem—Neh. 2:11, 17.
叁 
虽然“恢复”这辞在新约里没有使用过,召会的恢复却在新约里启示出来:
The recovery of the church is revealed in the New Testament even though the word recovery is not used:
一 
我们需要得恢复,脱离分门结党─宗派和公会─多三10。
We need to be recovered from the factions—the sects and denominations—Titus 3:10.
二 
召会的恢复也需要我们洁净自己,脱离大户人家(背道的基督教国)里卑贱的器皿─提后二20~21。
The recovery of the church requires that we cleanse ourselves from the vessels unto dishonor in the great house—the apostate Christendom—2 Tim. 2:20-21.
三 
我们不要接触那些不留于基督之教训中的人─这教训是关于基督的神性以及借着神圣的成孕而成为肉体─约贰9~11。
We should not contact those who do not abide in the teaching of Christ—the teaching concerning Christ's deity and incarnation by divine conception—2 John 9-11.
四 
我们需要遵从主的话,从宗教的大巴比伦出来─启十八4。
We need to obey the Lord's word to come out of religious Babylon the Great—Rev. 18:4.
肆 
我们需要看见召会得恢复的意义:
We need to see what it means for the church to be recovered:
一 
为着召会的恢复,我们需要得恢复脱离分裂与背道的立场,及其对三一神之身位并基督身位与工作之真理的偏差:
For the recovery of the church, we need to be recovered from the divisive and apostate ground with its deviations from the truths concerning the person of the Triune God and the person and work of Christ:
1 
我们要拒绝形态论和三神论的异端,持守照着神的话关于三一神的纯正启示;关于三一神身位的真理有两面─一面是一,一面是三;因为独一的神是三一的,是三而一─父、子、灵─太二八19,林后十三14。
We must reject the heresies of modalism and tritheism and hold to the pure revelation of the Triune God according to the Word of God; the truth concerning the person of the Triune God is twofold—the aspect of the one and the aspect of the three—for the unique God is triune, three-one—the Father, the Son, and the Spirit—Matt. 28:19; 2 Cor. 13:14.
2 
我们需要得恢复,脱离所有关于基督身位的异端教训,承认耶稣基督这位神显现于肉体,是完整的神,完全的人,并且祂作为包罗万有的一位,乃是每一件正面事物的实际─约壹四2~3、14~15,西一15~19,二17。
We need to be recovered from all heretical teachings regarding the person of Christ and confess that Jesus Christ, God manifested in the flesh, is the complete God, the perfect man, and, as the all-inclusive One, the reality of every positive thing—1 John 4:2-3, 14-15; Col. 1:15-19; 2:17.
二 
为着召会的恢复,我们需要回到基督身体独一和纯正之一的立场及其真理:
For the recovery of the church, we need to be brought back to the unique and pure ground of the oneness of the Body of Christ with its truths:
1 
我们需要回到关于新约信仰与神经纶的真理─犹3,彼后一1,提前一3~4。
We need to be brought back to the truth concerning the New Testament faith and God's economy—Jude 3; 2 Pet. 1:1; 1 Tim. 1:3-4.
2 
我们需要回到关于基督之身位与工作的真理─约一1、14、18,提前三15~16,一15,林前十五1~4。
We need to be brought back to the truth concerning the person and work of Christ—John 1:1, 14, 18; 1 Tim. 3:15-16; 1:15; 1 Cor. 15:1-4.
3 
召会的恢复也需要我们恢复关于三一神的身位与分赐的真理─太二八19,约十六13~14,林后十三14。
The recovery of the church requires that we be recovered to the truth concerning the person and dispensing of the Triune God—Matt. 28:19; John 16:13-14; 2 Cor. 13:14.
4 
召会的恢复包括恢复召会作为基督的身体,团体的基督:
The recovery of the church involves the recovery of the church as the Body of Christ, the corporate Christ:
a 
基督的身体是个生机体,由所有重生有神生命的信徒所构成,为着头的彰显─弗一22~23。
The Body of Christ is an organism constituted of all the believers, who have been regenerated and have God's life, for the expression of the Head—Eph. 1:22-23.
b 
基督的身体实际上就是团体的基督─林前十二12。
The Body of Christ is actually the corporate Christ—1 Cor. 12:12.
5 
关于召会宇宙一面与地方一面的真理,也需要恢复:
The truth concerning the universal and local aspects of the church also needs to be recovered:
a 
就宇宙一面而言,召会乃是独一无二的─太十六18。
In the universal aspect the church is uniquely one—Matt. 16:18.
b 
就地方一面而言,召会显在许多的地方上,作为许多的地方召会─十八17,林前一2。
In its local aspect the church is expressed in many localities as many local churches—18:17; 1 Cor. 1:2.
三 
在召会的恢复里,我们乃是在建造基督的身体,神的殿,神的家─弗四16:
In the recovery of the church, we are building up the Body of Christ, the temple of God, the house of God—Eph. 4:16:
1 
这是由在以斯拉领导之下的圣殿重建所预表的。
This was typified by the rebuilding of the temple under the leadership of Ezra.
2 
今天我们是在重建召会作为神的殿─二21~22,林前三9、16~17。
Today we are rebuilding the church as God's temple—2:21-22; 1 Cor. 3:9, 16-17.
3 
仇敌对召会所作一切的破坏,给主机会在复活里扩大祂的身体─约二19~21。
All the damage that the enemy does to the church gives the Lord the opportunity to enlarge His Body in resurrection—John 2:19-21.
四 
召会的恢复包括建立国度的生活;召会生活的实际就是国度─罗十二5,十四17:
The recovery of the church involves the establishing of the kingdom life; the reality of the church life is the kingdom—Rom. 12:5; 14:17:
1 
罗马十四章十七节启示神的国就是召会的生活;国度就是今天的召会生活。
Romans 14:17 reveals that the kingdom of God is the living of the church; the kingdom is today's church life.
2 
神的国作为召会生活,乃在于公义、和平并圣灵中的喜乐─17节。
The kingdom of God as the living of the church is righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit—v. 17.
3 
有这样的一种生活,乃是建立国度的生活,正如尼希米记中,重建耶路撒冷城所预表的。
To have such a living is to establish the kingdom life as typified in the book of Nehemiah by the rebuilding of the city of Jerusalem.
4 
在召会的恢复里,我们乃是建造召会作为神的家和神的城。
In the recovery of the church, we are building up the church as God's house and God's city.
