壹 在哥林多後書裏,基督作為神的恩典乃是那給我們進入、經歷、享受、有分、並據有的美地—約一17,林前十五10,參加二20,林前五7,十3~4,林後十三14: 

一 林後十三章十四節先說主的恩,因為這卷書是著重基督的恩—一12,四15,六1,八1,9,九8,14,十二9:

3 當基督天天在我們裏面給我們接受、經歷並享受,那就是恩典加給我們,而且恩上加恩—約一16。 

【週 三】

12 我們需要享受召會生活中生命的恩典,保守我們在真正的一裏—詩一三三。

13 在召會生活中,我們蒙恩典時,召會就會得建立,我們所蒙的恩典也會是可以看出的—徒四33,十一23。

14 神經綸中之恩典的產品,乃是基督的身體,就是神的詩章,彰顯神無窮的智慧和神聖的設計—弗二10,7,林後五17。

15 主耶穌的恩典在整個新約時代分賜到祂的信徒裏面,要終極完成於新耶路撒冷,在其中經過過程並終極完成的三一神,要作恩典給所有的信徒享受,直到永遠—啟二二21,參二一23,二二1~2。 

【週 四】

貳 我們要構成為新約的眾執事,為著基督身體的建造,就需要經歷哥林多後書中基督作為包羅萬有之靈的各方面: 

一 施膏的靈就是內住複合的靈,在我們裏面運行並工作,將神一切神聖的元素和構成成分,分賜到我們裏面—一21,腓一19,出三十23~25,羅十12~13: 

1 膏油塗抹的臨及,成就了神救恩的中心目的,將複合的神膏抹到我們裏面,使我們與祂聯結、調和且合併—林前十五45下,約壹二20,27。

2 膏油塗抹的教導,就是那靈在我們裏面運行所產生之內裏的感覺,使我們能知道神的心思並活在祂裏面,而且教導我們關於三一神和祂活動的事—27節,徒十六6~7。 

二 蓋印的靈使神聖的元素形成一種印記,彰顯神的形像—林後一22,弗一13: 

1 蓋印的靈不斷浸透信徒,直到他們的身體得贖—四30。

2 蓋印的靈使信徒變化成為神的珍寶,作神的基業—一11。

3 我們越被蓋印就越有神的形像,而被構成為神的傑作—林後三18下,弗二10。 

三 作質的靈給我們豫嘗,作我們對神全享的樣品和保證—林後一22,五5: 

1 那靈的作質,保證神是我們的基業—弗一14。

2 基督這作質的靈,在我們裏面給我們品嘗,使我們藉著操練我們的靈,享受祂作我們神聖的基業,我們所分得的分—詩三四8,彼前二3,西一12。 

【週 五】

四 書寫的靈將基督寫在我們裏面,使我們成為基督的活信—林後三3,參詩四五1: 

1 基督被寫在我們裏面,是用屬靈的墨,就是活神的靈寫的;我們若在那靈的書寫之下,就會深深覺得裏面是活的。

2 那靈乃是墨,而墨的內容就是基督同祂的身位、工作和成就;複合的靈作複合的墨,把基督的實質加到我們裏面,並以基督的素質浸透我們。 

五 賜生命的靈,就是使人有生氣的靈,將神聖的生命分賜到我們裏面,使我們成為生命人,有生命的職事—林後三6,17,約七38: 

1 當我們操練我們的靈,用禱告的方式研讀並閱讀聖經時,我們就越發有生氣—林後三6,約六63。

2 我們要成為能將生命賜給別人的人,就必須住在神聖的生命裏,並在神聖的生命裏行事、生活、為人—約壹五16上。 

【週 六】

六 供職的靈將基督所是的一切分賜到我們裏面,並使基督所是和所有的一切對我們成為實際—林後三8,約十六13~15: 

1 藉著操練我們的靈,禱告並呼求主,我們就能領受供職之靈的供應—加三5上,西四2,羅十12~13。

2 供職的靈將基督供應到我們裏面,並藉著我們將基督供應給別人—林後三6,參腓一25。 

七 使人自由的靈釋放我們脫離律法字句的轄制;主的靈就是主自己,有祂就有自由—林後三17,四5,加二4,五1: 

1 這個自由包括完全的滿足,有豐富、支持的供應,以及對基督完滿的享受—約四14下。

2 這個自由包括享受真正的安息,不在守律法的重擔之下—太十一28~30。 

八 變化的靈將神聖的生命、性情、素質、元素,就是神聖的所是,分賜到我們裏面,使我們全人裏面有新陳代謝的改變—林後三18: 

1 當我們的心轉向主,以沒有帕子遮蔽的臉,觀看並返照主的榮光,祂就用祂的所是及所作的元素,灌注我們。

2 因此,我們就藉著祂生命的大能,憑祂生命的素質,漸漸新陳代謝的變化,從一種程度的榮耀,達到另一種程度的榮耀,而有祂生命的形狀。 

九 傳輸的靈將基督所是的一切,同著神一切的豐富,傳輸到我們裏面,給我們有分—十三14: 

1 神是愛,這愛作為恩,藉著那靈傳輸到我們裏面;那靈乃是傳輸者。

2 那靈乃是基督的恩同著父的愛之交通、往來、循環、輸供,將神聖的豐富傳輸到我們裏面,作我們的享受。

I. In 2 Corinthians Christ as the grace of God is the good land for us to enter into, experience, enjoy, partake of, and possess—John 1:17; 1 Cor. 15:10; cf. Gal. 2:20; 1 Cor. 5:7; 10:3-4; 2 Cor. 13:14:

A. In 2 Corinthians 13:14 the grace of the Lord is mentioned first because this book is on the grace of Christ—1:12; 4:15; 6:1; 8:1, 9; 9:8, 14; 12:9:

1. The Holy Spirit as the circulation, the transmission, of the grace of Christ with the love of the Father is the supply in our Christian life and church life:

a. The entire church life depends upon 2 Corinthians 13:14.

b. The current of the Divine Trinity within us as revealed in 2 Corinthians 13:14 is our spiritual pulse.

§ Day 2

2. The blessing in 2 Corinthians 13:14 is the same as that in Numbers 6:22- 27; this is the eternal blessing of the Triune God, which is the Triune God dispensing Himself in His Divine Trinity into us for our enjoyment:

a. "Jehovah bless you and keep you" is the love of God the Father as the fountain of life and light—v. 24; Psa. 36:9.

b. "Jehovah make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you" is the grace of Christ as the fatness of God's house—Num. 6:25; Psa. 36:8.

1. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Spirit of grace, is with our spirit, which has been regenerated to be the dwelling place and vessel of the Triune God— Heb. 10:29b; Gal. 6:18; Phil. 4:23; Philem. 25; 2 Tim. 4:22; cf. 1:6-7.

2. Whenever we turn to our spirit, we enter through the gate of heaven and touch the throne of grace in heaven through Christ as the heavenly ladder— Heb. 4:16; Gen. 28:12-17; John 1:51; Eph. 2:22.

3. Grace is with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ in incorruptibility—6:24.

§ Day 4

II. In order to be constituted as the ministers of the new covenant for the building up of the Body of Christ, we need to experience all the aspects of Christ as the all-inclusive Spirit in 2 Corinthians:

A. The anointing Spirit is the indwelling, compound Spirit moving and working within us to impart all of God's divine ingredients and constituents into us—1:21; Phil. 1:19; Exo. 30:23-25; Rom. 10:12- 13:

1. The reaching of the anointing accomplishes the central purpose of God's salvation to anoint the compounded God into us so that we may be united, mingled, and incorporated with Him—1 Cor. 15:45b; 1 John 2:20, 27.

2. The teaching of the anointing is the inward feeling generated by the moving of the Spirit within us, enabling us to know God's mind and to live in Him, teaching us the things concerning the Triune God and His activities—v. 27; Acts 16:6-7.

C. The pledging Spirit gives us a foretaste as a sample and guarantee of the full taste of God—2 Cor. 1:22; 5:5:

1. The Spirit's pledging guarantees that God is our inheritance—Eph. 1:14.

2. Christ as the pledging Spirit is in us for our taste, for our enjoyment of Him as our divine inheritance, our allotted portion, through the exercise of our spirit—Psa. 34:8; 1 Pet. 2:3; Col. 1:12.

§ Day 5

D. The inscribing Spirit writes Christ into us to make us the living letters of Christ—2 Cor. 3:3; cf. Psa. 45:1:

1. Christ is being inscribed into us with the spiritual ink, the Spirit of the living God; if we are under the Spirit's inscribing, we have the deep sensation of being living within.

2. The Spirit is the ink, and the content of the ink is Christ with His person, work, and attainments; the compound Spirit as the compound ink adds the substance of Christ into us and saturates us with the essence of Christ.

E. The life-giving Spirit, the vivifying Spirit, imparts the divine life into our being to make us men of life with the ministry of life—2 Cor. 3:6, 17; John 7:38:

1. When we study and read the Bible prayerfully with the exercise of our spirit, we are vivified—2 Cor. 3:6; John 6:63.

2. To be one who can give life to others, we must abide in the divine life and must walk, live, and have our being in the divine life—1 John 5:16a.

§ Day 6

F. The ministering Spirit imparts all that Christ is into us and makes all that Christ is and has real to us—2 Cor. 3:8; John 16:13-15:

1. We can receive the supply of the ministering Spirit by exercising our spirit to pray and call on the Lord—Gal. 3:5a; Col. 4:2; Rom. 10:12-13.

2. The ministering Spirit ministers Christ into us and ministers Christ to others through us—2 Cor. 3:6; cf. Phil. 1:25.

G. The freeing Spirit frees us from the bondage of the letter of the law; the Spirit of the Lord is the Lord Himself, with whom is freedom—2 Cor. 3:17; 4:5; Gal. 2:4; 5:1:

1. This freeing includes full satisfaction, with a rich, supporting supply and the full enjoyment of Christ—John 4:14b.

2. This freeing includes the enjoyment of true rest, without being under the heavy burden to keep the law—Matt. 11:28-30.

H. The transforming Spirit dispenses the divine life, nature, essence, element—even the Divine Being—into us so that we may be metabolically changed in our inner being—2 Cor. 3:18:

1. When we turn our heart to the Lord to behold and reflect the glory of the Lord with an unveiled face, He infuses us with the elements of what He is and what He has done.

2. Thus, we are being transformed metabolically from one degree of glory to another degree of glory to have His life shape by His life power with His life essence.

I. The transmitting Spirit transmits all that Christ is with all the riches of God into us for our participation—13:14:

1. God is love, and this love is being transmitted as grace into us by the Spirit, who is the Transmitter.

2. The Spirit is the fellowship, the communication, the circulation, the transmission of the grace of Christ with the love of the Father, transmitting the divine riches into our being for our enjoyment.
