不是世上的国乃是诸天的国

 Saturday
请我们先祷告

我们愿意在这个世代中,作你的得胜者,与你同行,与你同活,与你同工,好结束这个世代,带进国度时代。这就是你所盼望的,你所要得着的。

 
诗歌:751
  今天我需学习
服神的权柄,

甘愿受祂管治, 严格对付言行。

如此祂的权柄, 我就得以分享,
  将来管理列国, 与祂儿子同王。
 
今日经节及注解:  太十四2236
重点经节:
太13:24
耶稣在他们跟前另设一个比喻,说,诸天的国好比人撒好种在他的田里。
太13:44 诸天的国好像宝贝藏在田地里,人找到了,就藏起来,欢欢喜喜的去变卖他一切所有的,买这田地。
 
生命供应

在马太十三章,我们看见一幅诸天之国外表的图画。(见新约圣经恢复本,二八至二九页附图。)神的国包括了从已过永远到将来永远的每件事。在这两个永远之间 有时间,分为几个世代或时代。第一个是法前时代。亚当被造之后,被安置在没有罪或黑暗的园子里。从他开始,延伸到摩西,是列祖时期。这段列祖时期就是我们 所知道的法前时代。然后是律法时代。接着是两个重要的时代,一个是恩典时代,召会时代,另一个是国度时代,即千年国。我们已经指出,诸天的国只包括这两个 时代。恩典时代很复杂,因为诸天的国有三方面:实际、外表和实现。只要召会是正常的,就是国度的实际。在正常的情形里,召会等于国度的实际。国度的第三方 面,就是实现,是在千年国的属天部分

当主耶稣回来时,你会在那里?我们若忍耐到底,就是保守自己在灵里到底,我们就要得救,并且要在诸天之国的实现里,就是在千年国的属天部分。在那里的人,要与基督一同掌权。按照四十三节,他们“在他们父的国里,要发光如同太阳。”…那种照耀就是作王治理、掌权

我们要作正常的真信徒,真国度之子,照着诸天之国的宪法而活。我们要照着宪法过生活,好生长基督。凡我们所生长的,都将是一种繁增,这繁增就是诸天之国的 构成成分。所以,今天我们不仅在实际里-我们就是实际。然后主耶稣这位王再来时,我们就要在诸天之国的实现里,发光照耀世界,与基督一同作王掌权,并且享 受千年国的属天部分。(马太福音生命读经,五一一至五一四页。)

 
问答:

  1明诸天之国的三方面。参读 太五3注4,第二段。

  2、 当主耶稣再来时,我们如何能在诸天之国的实现里?参读 太十三43 注1注2

  3 将五饼二鱼拿过来给主,意义为何?参读 太十四18注1,19注2

 

天:主成了碎渣,作了外邦人的分

Not the Earthly Kingdom but the Kingdom of the Heavens

 Saturday
Let's Pray:

Lord, we want to be Your overcomers in this generation, to walk with You, to live together with You, and to work together with You so that we can bring in the kingdom age.

 
Hymn:947
 

Today we must learn to
        submit to His throne,
How to have a strict life and
        His government own;
His authority then
        we'll be able to share,
O'er the nations to rule with
        God's Son as the heir.

 
Today's Verses and Footnotes:     Matt. 14:22-14:36
Key Verse:
Matt. 13:24
Another parable He set before them, saying, The kingdom of the heavens has become like a man sowing good seed in his field.
Matt. 13:44
The kingdom of the heavens is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man found and hid, and in his joy goes and sells all that he has, and buys that field.
 
Life Supply:  
In Matthew 13 we see a picture of the outward appearance of the kingdom of the heavens. (Please refer to the chart on The New Testament Recovery Version. pages 30 and 31.) The kingdom of God covers everything from eternity past to eternity future. Between the two eternities there is time divided into various ages or dispensations. The first is the dispensation before law. After Adam was created, he was placed in the garden where there was no sin or darkness. From him is the period of the Patriarchs, the fathers, extending to Moses. This period of the Patriarchs is known as the dispensation before law. Then comes the dispensation of law. Following this are two crucial dispensations, the first of which is the dispensation of grace, the church age, and the other, the dispensation of the kingdom, the millennium. As we have pointed out already, the kingdom of the heavens covers only these two dispensations. In the dispensation of grace there are a number of complications, for the kingdom of the heavens has three aspects: the aspect of reality, the aspect of appearance, and the aspect of manifestation. As long as the church is normal, it is the reality of the kingdom. In a normal situation the church equals the reality of the kingdom. The third aspect of the kingdom, the manifestation, is in the heavenly part, the upper part, of the millennium.

When the Lord Jesus comes back, where will you be? If we have endured unto the end, that is, have kept ourselves in the spirit until the end, we shall be saved and shall be in the manifestation of the kingdom of the heavens, the heavenly part of the millennium. Those who are there will rule with Christ. According to 13:43, they will “shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father.” … That shining will be the ruling, the reigning as kings.

We want to be real and normal believers, real sons of the kingdom who live according to the constitution of the kingdom of the heavens. We would grow Christ by living a life according to the constitution. Whatever we grow will be the multiplication which is the constituent of the kingdom of the heavens. Therefore, today we are not only in the reality—we are the reality. Then when the Lord Jesus, the King, comes again, we shall be in the manifestation of the kingdom of the heavens, shining over the world to reign as Christ’s co-kings and enjoying the heavenly part of the millennium. (Life-Study of Matthew, pp. 457-460)

 
Questions:

    1.       Please explain the three aspects of the kingdom of the heavens. (See Matt. 5:3 note 4)

    2.       How can we have a share in the manifestation of the kingdom of the heavens when Lord Jesus comes back? (See Matt 13:43 note 1, note 2)

    3.       What is the significance of "bringing five loaves and two fish to the Lord"? (See Matt. 14:18 note 1, 19 note 2)
