晨興餧養

弗三16~17『願祂照着祂榮耀的豐富，藉着祂的靈，用大能使你們得以加強到裏面的人裏，使基督藉着信，安
                       家在你們心裏，叫你們在愛裏生根立基。』
　
   五32『這是極大的奧祕，但我是指着基督與召會說的。』

     〔召會作基督之奧祕的第五大點是：〕召會奧祕的作宇宙的新人，作神的國、神的家，被建造成爲神的居所（弗二15、19~22）。…這實在是奧祕。召會是基督的奧祕，作宇宙的新人，是頂替神創造裏的舊人，來彰顯神，並完成神的經綸；作神的國，是讓神掌權，也爲神掌權（羅五17下）；作神的家，是得享神的豐富，也彰顯神豐富的榮耀（提前三15~16）；並且被建造成爲神的居所，這乃是服神國中的權柄，並享受神家裏的豐富所產生的結果（弗四16）（神新約經綸中的奧祕，四七頁）。

     第六大點，召會〔作爲基督的奧祕〕，…得以奧祕的享受基督那追測不盡的豐富（弗三2、7~11）。這是藉着神所賜，恩典的管家職分，也是照着神奧祕的經綸所安排的，目的是爲要藉着召會，彰顯神萬般的智慧。

     第七大點，召會由神藉着祂的靈，用大能將她的眾肢體加強到他們裏面的人裏，使基督奧祕的安家在他們心裏，而被基督所是的闊、長、高、深所充滿，成爲神一切的豐滿（15~19）。我們不光有基督在我們裏面作豐富的供應，並且這位基督還要安家、居住在我們心裏。爲這緣故，我們需要聖靈來加強我們，把我們整個人從外面加強到我們的靈裏。這樣，就給基督機會，來佔有我們心的各部分—心思、情感、意志和良心。不
僅是全靈，更是全魂都一步一步的讓基督擴展並佔有。…結果，我們就要被充滿，成爲神一切的豐滿，得作神一切的彰顯。

     第八大點，基督與祂的身體，召會，有一奧祕的生命聯結。…這奧祕就是經過過程的三一神，與得着重生變化的三部分人，聯結相調成爲一對宇宙的配偶。…換句話說，神性活在人性裏，作人性的實際；人性的美德活出神性的榮美，作神性的彰顯。神性與人性二者調和爲一。

     末了，〔召會是〕神經綸中奧祕的終極完成，就是新耶路撒冷（啓二一2）。這是經過過程的三一神與變化的三部分人，聯結調和的登峯造極，成爲神居住，與人同生活的帳幕，也成爲人居住，事奉神的殿，二者乃是救贖人的神，和蒙救贖的人，互爲居所（3、22）。…在那裏，有三一神作其中的生命供應；三部分人作
其外表，使神得着彰顯（12、14）。三一神在寶座上，爲聖城的中心，流出生命河，長着生命樹，作全城的供應（二二1~2）。這是新耶路撒冷裏面的情景。…我們若是對基督的奧祕—召會，有這樣深入、超越的認識，我們的目標和遙望就要被拔高，我們就要看見並認定我們人生一切的至高標準是新耶路撒冷，我們終極
的盼望也是這新耶路撒冷（神新約經綸中的奧祕，四八至五一頁）。

WEEK 2 — DAY 6

Morning Nourishment

Eph. 3:16-17 "That He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power
                              through His Spirit into the inner man, that Christ may make His home in your hearts through
                             faith, that you, being rooted and grounded in love."

5:32 "This mystery is great, but I speak with regard to Christ and the church."

     [The fifth point of the church as the mystery of Christ is that] the church mysteriously becomes the universal new man as God's kingdom and God's house, and is built up as the habitation of God (Eph. 2:15, 19-22)....This is indeed a mystery. The church, the mystery of Christ, as the universal new man, is replacing the old man in God's creation for the expression of God and the accomplishing of God's economy. It is God's kingdom to be ruled by God and to rule for God (Rom. 5:17b). It is also God's house to enjoy God's riches and to express the glory of God's riches (1 Tim. 3:15-16). Furthermore, it is built up as the habitation of God. This is the result of submitting to the authority in God's kingdom and enjoying the riches in God's house (Eph.4:16). (The Mysteries in God's New Testament Economy, p. 46)

Today's Reading

     Sixth,...[the church as the mystery of Christ] mysteriously enjoys the unsearchable riches of Christ (Eph. 3:2, 7-11). This is through the stewardship of grace given by God and is according to the dispensation of the
mysterious economy of God. The purpose of this is to make known through the church the multifarious wisdom of God.

     Seventh, the church, being strengthened in its members into the inner man with power by God through His Spirit, has Christ mysteriously making home in the believers' hearts, with the result that it is filled with
the breadth, the length, the height, and the depth of what Christ is, toin us as the rich supply; this Christ is also making home and living in our hearts. For this reason, we need the Holy Spirit to strengthen our whole
being into our spirit. In this way, Christ will have the chance to occupy the different parts of our heart—our mind, emotion, will, and conscience. In addition to our spirit, Christ will spread and occupy our whole soul step by step....In the end, we will be filled to become all the fullness of God as the full expression of God.

     [Eighth] is the mysterious life union of Christ and His Body, the church....This mystery is the processed Triune God being joined and mingled with the regenerated and transformed tripartite man to become a universal couple....In other words, divinity is living in humanity to become the reality of humanity, and the human virtues are living out the divine glory and beauty to become the expression of divinity. Divinity and humanity are mingled as one.

     Finally...[the church] is the mysterious ultimate consummation in God's economy, the New Jerusalem (Rev. 21:2). This is the peak, the climax, of the union and mingling of the processed Triune God with the transformed tripartite man, resulting in the tabernacle where God dwells and lives with man, and the temple where man dwells and serves God. The two become the mutual habitation of the redeeming God and the redeemed man (Rev.21:3, 22)....In such a place, the Triune God is the life supply, and the tripartite man is the outward appearance for the expression of God (Rev. 21:12, 14). The Triune God on the throne is the center of the holy city from which flows the river of life with the tree of life growing alongside to be the supply of the whole city (Rev. 22:1-2). This is the inward condition of the New Jerusalem....If we have such a profound and transcendent realization concerning the mystery of Christ, the church, our goal and hope will be uplifted. We will see and identify with the New Jerusalem as the highest standard of everything in our lives, and our ultimate hope will also be the New Jerusalem. (The Mysteries in God's New Testament Economy, pp. 47-50)
