创世记结晶读经(五): 神首先通过创造亚当来豫表自己要成为创造的人
创世记二章22节: 耶和华神就用那人身上所取的肋骨,建造成一个女人,领她到那
人跟前。弗五25~27:作丈夫的,要爱你们的妻子,正如基督爱教会,为教会舍了自
己,好圣化教会,借着话中之水 的洗涤洁净教会,他好献给自己,作荣耀的教会…。
神要为自己产生一个补满,就首先成为人(约一14),由神创造亚当所豫表(罗五
14)。…亚当沉睡,为着产生夏娃作他的妻子,豫表基督在十字架上的死,为着产
生教会作他的配偶(弗五25~27)。
借着基督的死,他里面的神圣生命得以释放;借着他的复活,他释放的神圣生命得
以分赐到他的信徒里面,为着构成教会。借着这样的过程,神在基督里已经把他自
己连同他的生命和性情,作到人里面,使人可以在生命和性情上与神一样,好作他
的配偶与他相配。
从亚当裂开的肋旁所取出的肋骨,豫表基督那不能折断、不能毁坏之永远的生命,
从他被扎的肋旁流出来,好将生命分赐给他的信徒,以产生并建造教会作他的补满
(圣经恢复本,创二21 注1,注2)。
创世记二章二十二节不说夏娃是创造的,乃说她是建造的。用亚当肋旁取出的肋骨
建造成夏娃,豫表教会是用复活的生命建造的,这复活的生命乃是基督借着在十字
架上的死所释放出来,并在他的复活里分赐到他信徒里面的(约十二24,彼前一3)。
教会作为真夏娃,乃是基督在他所有信徒里的总和。惟有那出於基督同他复活生命
的,才能作他的补满和配偶,就是基督的身体。夏娃自亚当取出,又被带回亚当,
与他成为一体;照样,从基督所产生的教会,也要归回基督,与他成为一灵。
首先,神成为人;其次,这位有神圣生命和性情的人,经过死与复活,繁增到许多
信徒里面,使他们成为众肢体,组成真夏娃,和他相配,成为他的补满。借着这样
的过程,神在基督里带着他的生命和性情,就作到人里面,使人有他同样的生命和
性情,好与他相配,作他的补满。
亚当从沉睡中醒来,立即看见用他肋骨建造的夏娃在他面前。照样,当基督从死人
中复活,教会也借着他神圣的生命产生了。借着他的死,他里面神圣的生命得以释
放出来;借着他的复活,这释放出来的神圣生命得以分赐到我们信他的人里面。所
以圣经说,我们借耶稣基督从死人中复活,得了重生。
他是那落在地里,又结出许多子粒的麦子。我们就是那许多子粒,借他复活的生命
所重生。因着我们是重生的人,有他作生命,并凭他而活,我们就构成了他的教会,
就是在复活中的真夏娃。
当亚当看见夏娃,就说,"这一次这是我骨中的骨,肉中的肉。" 当基督看见教会,
他也许曾这样说,"我看过牲畜、狮子、乌龟、鱼和鸟,但没有一样能配我。这一次
这是我骨中的骨,肉中的肉,因为教会是借着我的死与复活产生的。教会出自於我,
教会和我能成为一。"

English Version
Gen. 2:22 "And Jehovah God built the rib, which He had taken from the man,
into a woman and brought her to the man."
Eph. 5:25-27 "Husbands, love your wives even as Christ also loved the church
and gave Himself up for her that He might sanctify her,cleansing her by
the washing of the water in the word, that He might present the church to
Himself glorious..."
In order to produce a complement for Himself, God first became a man
(John 1:14), as typified by God's creation of Adam (Rom. 5:14)....Adam's
deep sleep for the producing of Eve as his wife typifies Christ's death
on the cross for the producing of the church as His counterpart (Eph. 5:25-27)
.Through Christ's death the divine life within Him was released, and through
His resurrection His released divine life was imparted into His believers
for the constituting of the church (see footnote 341 in John 19). Through
such a process God in Christ has been wrought into man with His life and
nature so that man can be the same as God in life and nature in order to
match Him as His counterpart. (Gen. 2:21, footnote 1)
The rib taken from Adam's opened side typifies the unbreakable,indestructible
eternal life of Christ (Heb. 7:16), which flowed out of His pierced side
(John 19:34) to impart life to His believers for the producing and building
up of the church as His complement. (Gen. 2:21,footnote 2)
[Genesis 2:22] does not say that Eve was created but that she was built.
The building of Eve with the rib taken from Adam's side typifies the building
of the church with the resurrection life released from Christ through His
death on the cross and imparted into His believers in His resurrection (John
12:24; 1 Pet. 1:3). The church as the real Eve is the totality of Christ
in all His believers. Only that which comes out of Christ with His resurrection
life can be His complement and counterpart, the Body of Christ (1 Cor. 12:12;
Eph.5:28-30). (Gen. 2:22, footnote 1)
As Eve was taken out of Adam and brought back to Adam to be one flesh
with him (Gen. 2:24), so the church produced out of Christ will go back
to Christ (Eph. 5:27; Rev. 19:7) to be one spirit with Him (1 Cor. 6:17).
(Gen. 2:22, footnote 3)
Firstly, God became a man. Then this man with the divine life and nature
was multiplied through death and resurrection into many believers who become
the many members to compose the real Eve to match Him and to complement
Him. It is through this process that God in Christ has been wrought into
man with His life and nature that man in life and nature can be the same
as He is in order to match Him as His complement.
When Adam awoke from his sleep, he immediately discovered that Eve,
who was builded with his rib, was present. Likewise, when Christ was resurrected
from the dead (1 Cor. 15:20), the church was brought forth with His divine
life. Through His death the divine life within Him was released and through
His resurrection this released, divine life was imparted into us who believe
in Him. So, the Bible says that through His resurrection we were regenerated
(1 Pet. 1:3). He was the grain of wheat that fell into the ground and died
and produced many grains (John 12:24). We are the many grains who have been
regenerated with His resurrection life. As regenerated ones who have Him
as life and who live by Him, we compose His church, the real Eve in resurrection.
When Adam saw Eve he said, “This time this is bone of my bones and flesh
of my flesh” (Gen. 2:23). When Christ saw the church He might have said,
“I have seen the cattle, lions, turtles, fishes, and birds, but none of
them could match Me. This time it is bone of My bones and flesh of My flesh,
for the church is produced by My death and resurrection. The church comes
out of Me. The church and I can be one.” (Life-study of Genesis, pp. 219-221)
