保羅的完成職事(一):看見異象

2013年國殤節特會信息

1 『我…作了…執事，要完成神的話』─西一25：
2 神的話就是神的啟示，在新約以前並未完成。
3 在新約時，使徒們，特別是使徒保羅，在神的奧秘（基督），以及基督的奧秘
（教會）這兩點上，完成神的話─25 節，二2，弗三3 ～ 4。

4 歌羅西一章二十六節的『奧秘』與二十五節『神的話』是同位語：
5 這奧秘是關乎基督與教會，就是頭與身體─弗五32。
6 借着使徒保羅將這奧秘揭開，神的話，就是神聖的啟示，就得以完成了─西一25。

7 在關於基督作神的奧秘，以及教會作基督的奧秘這啟示上，保羅完成了神的話，
將神的經綸完滿的啟示給我們─弗一10，三9，提前一4。
8 今天在我們的經歷上，完成神的話就是在我們的日常生活中主觀的經歷基督，使
正當的教會生活得以出現，使三一神在基督里得着彰顯─加二20，弗三17 上，一22 
～ 23。

9 我們若要成為完成神話語的人，就必須供應基督作賜生命的靈，並且與教會站在
一起，在正確的地方立場上，作基督活的彰顯；這就是我們的負擔、我們的職事和
我們的爭戰─林前十五45 下，一2，十二12 ～ 13、27。
10 『主阿，你是誰？』─徒二二8：

11 『…神，欣然樂意將他兒子啟示在我裡面』─加一15 下～ 16 上：
12 神的心願，是要將他的兒子啟示在我們裡面，使我們認識他，接受他作我們的生
命（約十七3，三16），成為神的兒子（一12，加四5 ～ 6）。
13 沒有甚麼比神的兒子活的人位揭開、啟示在我們裡面，更使神喜悅─一15 下～
 16 上，林後三14 ～18，四3 ～ 6。

14聖經的中心點乃是神的兒子這活的人位；他是三一神的具體化身，實化為包羅萬
有的靈，在我們的靈里，使我們享受他，有分於他的豐富，並且活他─林前十五45 
下，林後三17，腓一19，加六18。

15 『你為甚麼逼迫我？…我就是你所逼迫的耶穌』─徒九4 下、5 下：
16 這裡的『我』是團體的，包括主耶穌和他所有的信徒。

17 這乃是全宇宙中獨特的啟示，藉此掃羅開始看見，主耶穌和他的信徒是一個偉大
的人─那奇妙的 『我』。
18 這團體的『我』的啟示必定使掃羅印象深刻，影響他將來關於基督與教會是神極
大奧秘的職事，並為他將來的職事立下了穩固的根基─弗五32。

19 『我向你顯現，正是要選定你作執事和見證人，將你所看見我的事，和我將要顯
現給你的事，見證出 來』─徒二六16：
20 執事是為着職事，見證人是為着見證：
21 職事主要的與工作有關，與執事的所作有關─十三2，十四26。
22 見證與人有關，與見證人的所是有關─一8，二三11。

23 凡基督向保羅啟示的事，莫不是以他自己作那些事的內容；因此，在保羅所看見
的一切異象中，他看見了基督；主指明他要向保羅啟示更多的事，在那些事中，主
自己也要向他顯現─二二14 ～ 15，弗一17。

24 『我們祖宗的神豫先選定了你，叫你認識他的旨意』（徒二二14）；神的旨意是
要為基督得着一個身 體，作他的豐滿，他的彰顯─羅十二2、5，弗一5、9、11、22 
～ 23。

25 『主阿，我當作甚麼？』─徒二二10：
26 『起來，進城去，你所當作的事，必有人告訴你』（九6）；這與掃羅對基督身
體的認識有關─西一24。

27 『叫他們的眼睛得開，從黑暗轉入光中，從撒但權下轉向神，又因信入我，得蒙
赦罪，並在一切聖別的人中得着基業』─徒二六18：
28 從黑暗轉入光中，就是從黑暗轉移到光裡面；從撒但權下轉向神，就是從撒但的
權勢下，轉移到神裡面─18 節上，西一13：

29 撒但的權勢就是撒但的國，這國屬黑暗─太十二26，約十二31。
30 轉向神就是轉向神的權柄，就是神屬光的國─三5，約壹一5。
31 赦罪是新約禧年一切福分的基礎─徒二六18 下。

32 我們的眼睛得開，從撒但權下轉向神，結果就得着基業；這基業是三一神自己並
他所有的、所作成的以及為他贖民所要作的一切─18 節下，西一12，弗一13 ～ 14，
彼前一4。

33 神聖的基業乃是在一切因信入基督而得聖別的人當中；這聖別是地位上的，也是
性質上的─徒二六18下，太二三17、19，羅六19、22。

34 『我…沒有違背從天上來的異象』（徒二六19）；在這異象中，使徒看見關於三
一神的神聖事物如何分賜到他所揀選、救贖、變化的人裡面，為着按照神永遠的經
綸建造基督的身體─羅八11，弗四16，一10，三9。


2013 Memorial Day Conference:THE COMPLETING MINISTRY OF PAUL
Scripture Reading: Col. 1:25-26; Acts 9:4-6; 22:14; 26:16, 18-19

1. "I became a minister…to complete the word of God"─Col. 1:25:
2. The word of God is the divine revelation, which had not been completed 
before the New Testament   was written.
3. In the New Testament the apostles, especially the apostle Paul,completed 
the word of God in regard to the mystery of God, which is Christ, and the 
mystery of Christ, which is the church─v. 25;  2:2;Eph. 3:3-4.
  
4. In Colossians 1:26 the mystery is in apposition to the word of God in 
verse 25:
5. This mystery concerns Christ and the church, the Head and the Body─Eph. 
5:32.
6. The unveiling of this mystery through the apostle Paul is the completing 
of the word of God as the divine revelation─Col. 1:25.
   
7. Concerning the revelation of Christ as the mystery of God and the church 
as the mystery of Christ, Paul completed the word of God and revealed to 
us God’s economy in a full way─Eph. 1:10; 3:9; 1   Tim. 1:4.

8. In our experience today, to complete the word of God is to experience 
Christ subjectively in our daily living so that the proper church life may 
come forth for the expression of the Triune God in Christ─Gal.2:20; Eph. 
3:17a; 1:22-23.
9. If we would be those who complete the word of God, we must minister Christ 
as the life-giving Spirit and stand with the church as the living expression 
of Christ on the proper ground of locality; this  is our burden, our ministry,
 and our warfare─1 Cor. 15:45b; 1:2;12:12-13, 27.

10. "Who are You, Lord?"─Acts 22:8:
11. "When it pleased God…to reveal His Son in me"─Gal. 1:15a, 16a:
12. The desire of God’s heart is to reveal His Son in us so that we may 
know Him, receive Him as our life (John 17:3; 3:16), and become the sons 
of God (1:12; Gal. 4:5-6).
      
13. Nothing is more pleasing to God than the unveiling, the revelation, 
of the living person of the Son  of God in us─1:15a,16a; 2 Cor. 3:14-18; 
4:3-6.
14. The focal point of the Bible is the living person of the Son of God, 
who is the embodiment of the Triune God realized as the all-inclusive Spirit 
in our spirit for us to enjoy Him, partake of His  riches, and live Him─
1 Cor. 15:45b; 2 Cor. 3:17; Phil. 1:19;Gal. 6:18.

15. "Why are you persecuting Me?…I am Jesus, whom you persecute"─Acts 
9:4b, 5b:
16. This "Me"is corporate, comprising Jesus the Lord and all His believers.
17. This was a unique revelation in the universe, for by it Saul began to 
see that the Lord Jesus and His believers are one great person─the wonderful 
"Me."

18. The revelation of the corporate “Me” must have impressed and affected 
Saul for his future ministry  concerning Christ and the church as the great 
mystery of God and laid a solid foundation for his  future ministry─Eph. 
5:32.
19. "I have appeared to you for this purpose, to appoint you as a minister 
and a witness both of the things in which you have seen Me and of the things 
in which I will appear to you”─Acts 26:16:
20. A minister is for the ministry, and a witness is for the testimony:

21. The ministry is related mainly to the work, to what a minister does─
13:2; 14:26.
22. A testimony is related to the person, to what a witness is─1:8;23:11.
23. Christ did not reveal things to Paul without Himself as the content 
of those things; thus, in all the visions Paul saw Christ;the Lord indicated 
that He would reveal more things to Paul,and in those  things the Lord Himself 
would appear to him─22:14-15; Eph. 1:17.
   
24. "The God of our fathers has previously appointed you to know His will" 
(Acts 22:14); the will of God  is to obtain a Body for Christ to be His 
fullness, His expression─Rom. 12:2, 5; Eph. 1:5, 9, 11, 22-23.
25. "What shall I do, Lord?"─Acts 22:10:
26. "Rise up and enter into the city, and it will be told to you what you 
must do" (9:6); this is related to Saul's knowledge concerning the Body 
of Christ─Col. 1:24.
   
27. "To open their eyes, to turn them from darkness to light and from the 
authority of Satan to God, that  they may receive forgiveness of sins and 
an inheritance among those who have been sanctified by faith in Me"─Acts 
26:18:
    
28. To turn from darkness to light is to have a transfer from darkness into 
light, and to turn from the  authority of Satan to God is to be transferred 
out of the authority of Satan into God─v. 18a; Col. 1:13:
29. The authority of Satan is Satan’s kingdom, which belongs to darkness─
Matt. 12:26; John 12:31.
30. To be transferred into God is to be transferred to the authority of 
God, which is God’s kingdom,  belonging to light─3:5; 1 John 1:5.

31. Forgiveness of sins is the base of all the blessings of the New Testament 
jubilee─Acts 26:18b.
32. As the result of having our eyes opened and of being transferred from 
the authority of Satan to God,  we receive an inheritance;this inheritance 
is the Triune God with all that He has, all that  He has done, and all that 
He will do for His redeemed people─v.18c; Col. 1:12; Eph. 1:13-14; 1 Pet. 
1:4.
     
33. The divine inheritance is among those who have been sanctified by faith 
in Christ; this sanctification is both positional and dispositional─Acts 
26:18d; Matt. 23:17, 19; Rom. 6:19, 22.

34. "I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision" (Acts 26:19); this was 
a vision in which the apostle saw the divine things concerning the dispensing 
of the Triune God into His chosen, redeemed, and  transformed people  for 
the building up of the Body of Christ according to God's eternal economy─
Rom. 8:11; Eph. 4:16; 1:10; 3:9.
