W3-outline-ch

讀經：太一21、23，十八20，二八20

週　一

壹　『她將要生一個兒子，你要給祂起名叫耶穌，因祂要親自將祂的百姓從他們的罪裏救出來』—太一21：

一　『耶穌』是希臘文，等於希伯來文的名『約書亞』，意，耶和華救主，或耶和華救恩；耶穌是耶和華成為我們的救主和救恩—羅十12~13，五10，參腓一19。

二　『耶穌』這名包括『耶和華』這名；『耶和華』的意思是『我是那我是』，指明耶和華是自有永有的永遠者，就是那昔是今是以後永是者—出三14，啟一4：

1　惟有耶和華是那是的一位，祂不倚靠自己以外的任何事物；我們必須操練信心的靈信『祂是』，我們『不是』；在一切事上，祂是惟一的一位，獨一的一位，我們甚麼都不是—來十一6。

2　作為『我是』，祂是包羅萬有的一位，是一切正面事物的實際，也是祂子民所需的一切—約六35，八12，十14，十一25，十四6。

3　我們可以說，我們有一張金額欄空白的簽名支票，可以填寫我們所需要的一切；我們需要甚麼，耶穌就是甚麼，就如光、生命、能力、智慧、聖別或公義；我們所需要的一切，都能在耶穌的名裏找到。

三　耶穌是我們的約書亞，帶我們進入安息，這安息就是祂自己作了我們的美地—來四8，太十一28~29。

四　主的名，就是祂的人位，乃是包羅萬有複合的靈—歌一3，出三十23~30，腓一19。

週　二

五　耶穌的名超乎萬名之上—二9~10：

1　耶穌的名是給我們信入的—約一12。

2　耶穌的名是給我們浸入的—徒八16，十九5。

3　耶穌的名叫我們得救—四12。

4　耶穌的名使我們得醫治—三6，四10。

5　耶穌的名使我們被洗淨、聖別、稱義—林前六11。

6　耶穌的名是給我們呼求的—羅十13，林前一2，徒九14，創四26。

7　那靈是屬天的空氣給我們吸入；我們操練靈呼求主的名吸入那靈，藉此接受那靈—約二十22，加三2，帖前五17，哀三55~56，詩歌二一○首。

六　呼求主名的目的是：

1　得救—羅十13。

2　從急難、患難、愁苦和痛苦中蒙拯救—詩十八6，一一八5，八六7，五十15，八一7，一一六3~4。

3　有分於主的慈愛，祂的憐憫—八六5。

4　有分於主的救恩—一一六2、4、13、17。

5　接受那靈—徒二17、21。

6　飲靈水喫靈糧以得滿足—賽五五1~2、6。

7　享受主的豐富—羅十12，林前十二3下，申四7，詩一四五18。

8　將我們自己挑旺起來—賽六四7。

週　三

9　耶穌的名是給我們在其中禱告的—約十四13~14，十五16，十六24。

10　耶穌的名是給我們聚集歸入的—太十八20。

11　耶穌的名是給我們趕鬼的—徒十六18。

12　耶穌的名是給我們在其中放膽講說的—九27。

七　撒但恨惡耶穌的名：

1　撒但利用人攻擊耶穌的名—參二六9。

2　宗教徒攻擊耶穌的名，禁止信徒在那名裏傳揚或施教—四17~18，五40。

3　使徒們遭受逼迫時，因被算是配為耶穌的名受辱而歡喜—41節，十五26。

八　主耶穌稱讚非拉鐵非的得勝者，因為他們沒有否認祂的名—啟三8：

1　恢復的召會棄絕了主耶穌基督之外一切的名，而絕對屬於主。

2　以主名之外的名稱呼召會，乃是屬靈的淫亂；召會如同貞潔的童女許配基督（林後十一2），除了她丈夫的名以外，不該有別的名。

週四、週五

貳　『「看哪，必有童女懷孕生子，人要稱祂的名為以馬內利。」（以馬內利翻出來，就是神與我們同在）』—太一23：

一　耶穌這君王救主的名是神所起的，而以馬內利這君王救主的名是人所稱的—23節。

二　馬太福音是一卷論到以馬內利—神成為肉體與我們同在—的書—21~23節。

三　以馬內利是包羅萬有的—腓一19：

1　祂先是我們的救主（路二11），然後是我們的救贖主（約一29，羅三24）、賜我們生命者（林前十五45下），之後是包羅萬有、內住的靈（約十四16~20，羅八9~11）。

2　實際上，全本新約的內容就是以馬內利（太一23，十八20，二八20，啟二一3），並且所有在基督裏的信徒，作為基督的眾肢體，乃是團體的基督（林前十二12，西三10~11）這偉大以馬內利的一部分。

四　實際的以馬內利就是實際的靈，也就是終極完成之三一神在我們靈裏的同在；祂一直在我們靈裏與我們同在—不只天天，更是每時每刻—約一14，十四16~20，林前十五45下，提後四22：

1　祂在我們的聚集中與我們同在—太十八20。

2　祂天天與我們同在—二八20。

3　祂在我們的靈裏與我們同在—提後四22：

a　今天我們的靈就是以馬內利的地—賽八7~8。

b　因為神與我們同在，仇敵絕不能占取以馬內利的地—10節，參約壹五4，約三6。

4　我們聚集在一起，教訓神的聖言，就能享受三一神的同在—太十八20，二八20，詩一一九30，徒六4。

5　我們藉着作三一神同在的那靈，享受恩典與平安—加六18，徒九31。

6　那靈的引導和見證，就是祂的同在—羅八14、16。

7　我們藉着三一神作為那靈的同在，享受三一神的分賜—林後十三14。

五　我們要與作以馬內利的基督同活，就需要在祂的神聖同在裏；這神聖的同在就是賜生命的靈，作三一神的終極完成—加五25：

1　與基督同活就是我們仍然活着，但不是憑自己單獨活着，乃是憑那作以馬內利的基督在我們裏面活着並與我們同活；三一神若在我們外面，就無法完成祂的目的，就是將祂自己分賜到我們這人裏面；所以，祂與我們的同在必須是內裏的—二20。

2　以馬內利是我們的生命和人位，我們是祂的器官，與祂一同生活如同一人；我們的得勝在於以馬內利—耶穌的同在。

3　我們若有主的同在，就有智慧、眼光、先見，以及對事物內裏的認識；主的同在對我們乃是一切—林後二10，四6~7，加五25，創五22~24，來十一5~6。

週　六

六　我們若要進入、據有並享受包羅萬有的基督這美地的實際，就必須在主的同在裏去；主應許摩西：『我的同在必和你同去，我必使你得安息』（出三三14）；神的同在就是祂的道路，是那向祂的百姓指示當行之路的『地圖』：

1　我們要為着神的建造完全得着並據有基督這包羅萬有的地，就必須抓牢這一個原則：神的同在乃是一切問題的準則；我們無論作甚麼，都必須注意我們有否神的同在；我們若有神的同在，就有一切，但我們若失去神的同在，就失去一切—太一23，提後四22，加六18，詩二七4、8，五一11。

2　主的同在，主的微笑，是支配的原則；我們必須學習受主直接、頭手的同在保守、掌管、管理並指引—二七8，八十3、7、17~19。

3　作為成熟生命掌權一面的代表，約瑟享受主的同在，並且因此享有主所賜的權柄、亨通與祝福—創三九2~5、21，徒七9。

4　摩西是個非常接近神的心，並照着神的心的人；因此，他有神的同在，到了完滿的地步—出三三11。

5　使徒保羅是照着基督眼中所表露祂全人的標示，在祂面前生活行動的人—林後二10。

6　『我年輕時，人教導我各種得勝、聖別並屬靈的方法。然而，…除了主的同在以外，沒有一樣管用。祂與我們同在，乃是一切』—約書亞記生命讀經，五八至五九頁。

七　整個新約就是以馬內利；我們現今是這偉大以馬內利的一部分，這以馬內利要終極完成於新天新地裏的新耶路撒冷，直到永遠；新約開始於一個神人，祂是『神與我們同在』，結束於一個偉大的神人，新耶路撒冷，就是『耶和華的所在』—太一23，林前六17，徒九4，提前三15~16，啟二一3、22，結四八35。

Week Three
Jesus—the King-Savior’s Name Given by God and    Emmanuel—the King-Savior’s Name Called by Man

Hymns: E1083

Scripture Reading: Matt. 1:21, 23; 18:20; 28:20

§ Day 1

I. "She will bear a son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for it is He who will save His people from their sins"—Matt. 1:21:

A. Jesus is the Greek equivalent of the Hebrew name Joshua, which means "Jehovah the Savior," or "the salvation of Jehovah"; Jesus is Jehovah becoming our Savior and our salvation—Rom. 10:12-13; 5:10; cf. Phil. 1:19.

B. The name Jesus includes the name Jehovah, which means "I Am Who I Am," indicating that Jehovah is the self-existing and ever-existing eternal One, the One who was in the past, who is in the present, and who will be in the future forever—Exo. 3:14; Rev. 1:4:

1. Jehovah is the only One who is and who depends on nothing apart from Himself; we must exercise our spirit of faith to believe that "He is" and we are "not"; He is the only One, the unique One, in everything, and we are nothing—Heb. 11:6.

2. As the I Am, He is the all-inclusive One, the reality of every positive thing and of whatever His people need—John 6:35; 8:12; 10:14; 11:25; 14:6.

3. We may say that we believers have a signed check with the space for the amount left blank, and we can fill in whatever we need; whatever we need Jesus is, such as light, life, power, wisdom, holiness, or righteousness; everything we need is found in the name of Jesus.

C. Jesus is our Joshua, the One who brings us into rest, which is Himself as the good land to us—Heb. 4:8; Matt. 11:28-29.

D. The Lords name, His person, is the all-inclusive compound Spirit—S. S. 1:3; Exo. 30:23-30; Phil. 1:19.

§ Day 2

E. The name of Jesus is above every name—2:9-10:

1. The name of Jesus is for us to believe into—John 1:12.

2. The name of Jesus is for us to be baptized into—Acts 8:16; 19:5.

3. The name of Jesus is for us to be saved—4:12.

4. The name of Jesus is for us to be healed—3:6; 4:10.

5. The name of Jesus is for us to be washed, sanctified, and justified—1 Cor. 6:11.

6. The name of Jesus is for us to call upon—Rom. 10:13; 1 Cor. 1:2; Acts 9:14; Gen. 4:26.

7. The Spirit is the heavenly air for us to breathe; by exercising our spirit to call upon the name of the Lord, we breathe in the Spirit and thereby receive the Spirit—John 20:22; Gal. 3:2; 1 Thes. 5:17; Lam. 3:55-56; Hymns, #255.

F. The purpose of calling on the name of the Lord is:

1. To be saved—Rom. 10:13.

2. To be rescued from distress, trouble, sorrow, and pain—Psa. 18:6; 118:5; 86:7; 50:15; 81:7; 116:3-4.

3. To participate in the Lords lovingkindness, His mercy—86:5.

4. To partake of the Lords salvation—116:2, 4, 13, 17.

5. To receive the Spirit—Acts 2:17, 21.

6. To drink the spiritual water and eat the spiritual food for satisfaction— Isa. 55:1-2, 6.

7. To enjoy the riches of the Lord—Rom. 10:12; 1 Cor. 12:3b; Deut. 4:7; Psa. 145:18.

8. To stir ourselves up—Isa. 64:7.

§ Day 3

9. The name of Jesus is for us to pray in—John 14:13-14; 15:16; 16:24.

10. The name of Jesus is for us to be gathered into—Matt. 18:20.

11. The name of Jesus is for us to cast out demons—Acts 16:18.

12. The name of Jesus is for us to speak boldly in—9:27.

G. Satan hates the name of Jesus:

1. Satan utilizes people to attack the name of Jesus—cf. 26:9.

2. The religionists attacked the name of Jesus, forbidding the believers to preach or teach in that name—4:17-18; 5:40.

3. When the apostles were persecuted, they rejoiced that they were counted worthy to be dishonored on behalf of the name of Jesus—v. 41; 15:26.

H. The Lord Jesus praised the overcomers in Philadelphia because they did not deny His name—Rev. 3:8:

1. The recovered church has abandoned all names other than that of the Lord Jesus Christ, belonging to the Lord absolutely.

2. To denominate the church by taking any name other than the Lords is spiritual fornication; the church, as the pure virgin betrothed to Christ (2 Cor. 11:2), should have no name other than her Husbands.

§ Day 4 & Day 5

II. " Behold, the virgin shall be with child and shall bear a son, and they shall call His name Emmanuel (which is translated, God with us)"—Matt. 1:23:

A. Jesus was the King-Saviors name given by God, whereas Emmanuel was the King-Saviors name called by man—v. 23.

B. Matthew is a book on Emmanuel—God incarnated to be with us—vv. 21- 23.

C. Emmanuel is all-inclusive—Phil. 1:19:

1. He is first our Savior (Luke 2:11), then our Redeemer (John 1:29; Rom. 3:24), then our Life-giver (1 Cor. 15:45b), and then the all-inclusive, indwelling Spirit (John 14:16-20; Rom. 8:9-11).

2. Actually, the content of the entire New Testament is an Emmanuel (Matt. 1:23; 18:20; 28:20; Rev. 21:3), and all the believers in Christ, as the members of Christ, are a part of this great Emmanuel, the corporate Christ (1 Cor. 12:12; Col. 3:10-11).

D. The practical Emmanuel is the Spirit of reality as the presence of the consummated Triune God in our spirit; His presence is always with us in our spirit, not only day by day but also moment by moment—John 1:14; 14:16-20; 1 Cor. 15:45b; 2 Tim. 4:22:

1. He is with us in our gatherings—Matt. 18:20.

2. He is with us all the days—28:20.

3. He is with us in our spirit—2 Tim. 4:22:

a. Today our spirit is the land of Immanuel—Isa. 8:7-8.

b. Because God is with us, the enemy can never take over the land of Immanuel—v. 10; cf. 1 John 5:4; John 3:6.

4. We can enjoy the presence of the Triune God in gathering together for the teaching of His holy Word—Matt. 18:20; 28:20; Psa. 119:30; Acts 6:4.

5. We enjoy grace and peace through the Spirit as the presence of the Triune God—Gal. 6:18; Acts 9:31.

6. The Spirits leading and witnessing are His presence—Rom. 8:14, 16.

7. We enjoy the dispensing of the Triune God through His presence as the Spirit—2 Cor. 13:14.

E. To live with Christ as Emmanuel, we need to be in His divine presence, which is the life-giving Spirit as the consummation of the Triune God— Gal. 5:25:

1. To live with Christ, we still live, yet not by ourselves alone but by Christ living in us and with us as Emmanuel; the Triune God cannot complete His intention to dispense Himself into our being outside of us; therefore, His being with us must be inward—2:20.

2. Emmanuel is our life and person, and we are His organ, living together with Him as one person; our victory depends upon Emmanuel, the presence of Jesus.

3. If we have the Lords presence, we have wisdom, insight, foresight, and the inner knowledge concerning things; the Lords presence is everything to us—2 Cor. 2:10; 4:6-7; Gal. 5:25; Gen. 5:22-24; Heb. 11:5-6.

§ Day 6

F. If we would enter, possess, and enjoy the all-inclusive Christ as the reality of the good land, we must do so by the presence of the Lord; the Lord promised Moses, "My presence shall go with you, and I will give you rest" (Exo. 33:14); Gods presence is His way, the "map" that shows His people the way they should take:

1. In order to fully gain and possess Christ as the all-inclusive land for Gods building, we must hold on to the principle that Gods presence is the criterion for every matter; regardless of what we do, we must pay attention to whether or not we have Gods presence; if we have Gods presence, we have everything, but if we lose Gods presence, we lose everything—Matt. 1:23; 2 Tim. 4:22; Gal. 6:18; Psa. 27:4, 8; 51:11.

2. The presence of the Lord, the smile of the Lord, is the governing principle; we must learn to be kept, to be ruled, to be governed, and to be guided by the direct, firsthand presence of the Lord—27:8; 80:3, 7, 17-19.

3. As a representative of the reigning aspect of a mature life, Joseph enjoyed the presence of the Lord, and with it the Lords authority, prosperity, and blessing—Gen. 39:2-5, 21; Acts 7:9.

4. Moses was a person very near to Gods heart and according to Gods heart; hence, he had Gods presence to a full extent—Exo. 33:11.

5. The apostle Paul was one who lived and acted in the presence of Christ according to the index of His whole person expressed in His eyes—2 Cor. 2:10.

6. "In my youth I was taught various ways to overcome, to be victorious, to be holy, and to be spiritual. However, not any of these ways worked...Nothing works but the Lords presence. His being with us is everything"—Life-study of Joshua, 2nd ed., p. 50.

G. The entire New Testament is an Emmanuel, and we are now a part of this great Emmanuel that will consummate in the New Jerusalem in the new heaven and new earth for eternity; the New Testament begins with a God-man, who is "God with us," and ends with a great God-man, the New Jerusalem, which is "Jehovah Is There"—Matt. 1:23; 1 Cor. 6:17; Acts 9:4; 1 Tim. 3:15-16; Rev. 21:3, 22; Ezek. 48:35.
