| 神圣生命的繁殖 约 12章24节 | 12:24 | 我实实在在的告诉你们,一粒麦子不1落在地里死了,仍旧是一粒;若是死了,就结出2许多子粒来。 | 12章24节 注2 | 这许多子粒成了基督在复活里的扩增,这扩增就是基督经过死而复活所进入的荣耀。(路二四26。)从本章23节到十七章末了,乃是详论这荣耀的奥秘。基督原是与神同有荣耀。(十七5。)祂成为肉体,使祂神圣的荣耀都遮藏在祂的肉体里。借着祂的死与复活,祂这荣耀就得着释放,产生许多子粒,成为祂的扩增,彰显祂的荣耀。23、28,十三31~32,十四13,十五8,十六14和十七1、4、5、10、22、24所说的,都与这荣耀有关。这荣耀在祂末后对门徒所说十四至十六章的话里,有三个具体的团体彰显,就是十四2所说父的家(召会),十五1~5所说葡萄树的枝子(基督身体的组成成分),和十六21所说一个新生的团体人(新人)。这三者都是指召会,说明召会乃是荣耀的基督经过死与复活所产生的荣耀扩增。在这荣耀的扩增里,神子基督得着荣耀,叫父神在祂的得荣里也得着荣耀,就是借着召会,得着丰满的彰显。(弗三19~21。)这需要在三一神里的一来维持。所以,主在十七章结束的祷告,特别为此祈求。(十七20~23。)基督这荣耀的扩增,乃是约翰福音奥秘启示的高峰,其终极完成是约翰所写启示录中的新耶路撒冷。那新的圣城是基督历代扩增的集大成,基督那神圣的荣耀,要在其中彰显得完满尽致;父神在子神的得荣中,也要得着永远无比的荣耀,成为祂在永世里丰满的彰显,完成祂永远的经纶,直到永永远远。 | 请我们先祷告 | 主,我们不只敬拜你是说话的神,我们更敬拜你就是话;这话就是灵。这灵的实际,进到我们里面作我们的成分! | 今日经节及注解: 约十二1~24 | 重点经节: | 约12:24 | 我实实在在的告诉你们,一粒麦子不落在地里死了,仍旧是一粒;若是死了,就结出许多子粒来。 | 填空(请用鼠标左键选择空白处) | 基督原是与神同有荣耀。(约十七5。)祂成为(肉体),使祂神圣的荣耀都(遮藏)在祂的肉体里。借着祂的死与复活,祂这荣耀就得着(释放),产生许多(子粒),成为祂的扩增,彰显祂的荣耀。这荣耀在祂末后对门徒所说十四至十六章的话里,有三个具体的团体(彰显),就是十四章二节所说父的(家)(召会),十五章一至五节所说(葡萄)树的枝子(基督身体的组成成分),和十六章二十一节所说一个(新生)的团体人(新人)。这三者都是指(召会)。(参约十二24注2) | The Propagation of the Divine Life | Let's Pray: | Lord, we not only worship You as the speaking God, but even more we worship You that You are the Word and this Word is the Spirit. The reality of this Spirit enters into us to be our element. | Today's Verses and Footnotes: John 12:1-24 | Key Verse: | John 12:24 | Truly, truly, I say to you, Unless the grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it abides alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. | Filling the Blanks (Please double-click the blanks): | Christ had the glory with God (John 17:5). His (incarnation) caused His divine glory to be (concealed) in His flesh. Through His death and resurrection His glory was (released), producing many (grains), which become His increase as the expression of His glory... In the Lord's last words to the believers in chs. 14--16, there are three concrete, corporate (expressions) of this glory: the Father's (house) (the church) in 14:2, the branches of the (vine) (the constituents of the Body of Christ) in 15:1-5, and a (newborn) corporate man (the new man) in 16:21. All three denote the (church). (See John 12:24 note 2) | Tomorrow: The Grain of Wheat Bears Much Fruit | |
