晨興聖言-亞伯拉罕、以撒、雅各的神-(W4-綱目)
第四週 獻上以撒並經歷神是叫死人復活的神
詩歌：462
讀經：創二二 1 ～ 18，來十一 17 ～ 19，羅四 17
【週一、週二】
壹 神試驗亞伯拉罕，指示他帶着他獨生的兒子以撒，把他獻爲燔祭—創二二 1 ～ 2：
一 在別是巴的生活，產生了獻給神的燔祭（以撒）：
1 以撒生活的源頭使他成爲燔祭，就是爲着神的滿足而獻給神的人—2、7 ～ 9 節：
a 燔祭，原文意，上升之物，指升到神面前的東西—利一 3 註 1。
b 燔祭豫表基督，主要的不是在於救贖人脫離罪，乃是在於過一種完全且絕對爲着神並滿足神的生活，並在於祂是使神子民能過這樣一種生活的生命—9節，約五 19、30，六 38，七 18，八 29，十四 24，林後五 15，加二 19 ～ 20。
c 燔祭乃是神的食物，使神可以享受並得着滿足—民二八 2。
2 正當的召會生活產生燔祭—利一 1 ～ 2，羅十二 1 ～ 2：
a 在別是巴的生活、成長並呼求耶和華伊勒俄拉姆的名，都是爲着產生燔祭—創二一 33，二二1 ～ 2。
b 我們越留在召會生活中，召會生活就越把我們從別是巴帶到摩利亞。
二 如同亞伯拉罕，我們需要學習一個功課，將神所賜給我們的獻回給神—1 ～ 18 節，羅十一 36：
1 凡與以撒有關的都是出於神，且憑着神；神要求亞伯拉罕將以撒當作燔祭獻回給祂—創二二 1 ～ 2。
2 以撒，豫表基督是應許的後裔（加三 16），由神賜給了亞伯拉罕，但神要亞伯拉罕把神所賜給他的，交還給神；這對亞伯拉罕必然是個試驗—創二二 1，來十一 17。
3 這裏我們看見在神經綸裏一個基本的原則：凡神所賜給我們的，甚至是祂作到我們裏面並藉着我們作的，至終都必須獻回給祂，好使我們過信心的生活，不抓住任何事物，甚至是神所賜的事物，而單單倚靠祂。
4 神最高的要求，就是將祂所賜給我們的交還給祂。
【週三】
貳 在創世記二十二章一至十八節，我們看見亞伯拉罕信而順從—來十一 17 ～ 19：
一 亞伯拉罕沒有照着他的觀念發起任何事，或作任何事。
二 注入到亞伯拉罕裏面的信心，把他帶到摩利亞山（摩利亞山是錫安山的另一名稱），並使他能將以撒獻爲燔祭—創二二 1 ～ 2，代下三 1。
叁 亞伯拉罕將他獻上以撒的那地方，起名叫耶和華以勒—創二二 14：
一 摩利亞的意思是『耶和華的異象』；在摩利亞山上，亞伯拉罕看見了神，神也看見了他—2 節。
二 十四節下半可譯作，『在耶和華的山上必有豫備』，或，『在耶和華的山上祂必被看見』：
1 在摩利亞山那裏，亞伯拉罕經歷了神的豫備，並且領受了清楚的異象。
2 神的豫備總是同着祂的異象，所以每當我們享受神的豫備，我們就得着異象，在其中我們看見神，神也看見我們。
三 今天神的豫備是在召會生活裏；在召會生活裏，我們有完全的豫備連同清楚的異象。
四 在主的恢復裏，我們是在上摩利亞山，在那裏我們要獻上我們的以撒，享受神的豫備，並得着透亮的異象。
【週四】
肆 以撒被獻上之後，又在復活裏歸還，以完成神的定旨—16～18節，來十一17～19，羅四17：
一 亞伯拉罕得回以撒，就相信並經歷神是叫死人復活的神—復活的神—來十一 17 ～ 19，羅四17，林後一 9。
二 以撒在復活裏被歸還時，不再是天然的以撒，乃是復活的以撒。
三 以撒被獻上之後，又在復活裏歸還亞伯拉罕，並且成爲祝福—創二二 16 ～ 18。
四 我們生命中的每一件事，都必須經過死的最終試驗，使復活的神有路—約十一 25，林後一 9。
五 我們向神獻上從祂所接受的之後，祂會在復活裏將其歸還我們—來十一 17 ～ 19：
1 我們從神所接受的每項恩賜、屬靈祝福、工作和成就，都必須經過死，最終在復活裏歸還我們。
2 我們若把從神所接受的獻給神，它經過了死，而由神在復活裏歸還我們，就要成爲祝福，以完成神的定旨—創二二 16 ～ 18。
3 神的祝福總是在復活裏來的；我們若將我們的以撒獻給神，又由神在復活裏歸還我們，就會在神的祝福之下。
【週五】
伍 以撒被亞伯拉罕獻給神，就繁增成爲新耶路撒冷—16 ～ 18 節，羅八 29，啓二一 2、7：
一 新耶路撒冷乃是亞伯拉罕後裔—沙和星—的終極完成—創二二 16 ～ 18，羅八 29，啓二一 2、7：
1 在新耶路撒冷裏，由十二支派所代表的人是沙，由十二使徒所代表的人是星—12、14 節。
2 由沙和星所表徵的這兩班人要同被建造，成爲新耶路撒冷。
二 在創世記二十二章，我們看見一個基本的原則，就是使神的恩賜繁增的路，乃是將神所賜給我們的獻回給神：
1 一個以撒被獻給神並在復活裏歸還，就成爲無數的星和沙。
2 我們若將我們的一粒獻給神，並且讓神置之於死，它就要在復活裏歸還我們，然後我們要看見在神祝福之下的繁增—約十二 24。
【週六】
陸 摩利亞山是神所揀選的地方，至終成了錫安山，就是建殿的地點，也是美地的中心；在我們屬靈的經歷中，摩利亞山最終成了錫安山—創二二 2、14，代下三 1，來十一17～19，十二22～23，啓十四 1～5：
一 亞伯拉罕是第一個帶着燔祭在錫安山上敬拜神的人—1 節。
二 後來，神吩咐亞伯拉罕的子孫，就是以色列人，要一年三次到這地方敬拜神，向祂獻上他們的燔祭—申十六 16，詩一三二 13。
三 今天，亞伯拉罕屬靈的子孫，就是新約的信徒，乃是在錫安山上—來十二 22 ～ 23。
四 至終，我們眾人要與亞伯拉罕一同在永遠的錫安山，新耶路撒冷，敬拜神；整個新耶路撒冷就是錫安，也就是至聖所，神所在的地方—啓十四 1 ～ 5，二一 22。
五 主的恢復就是要建造錫安；錫安就是基督身體的實際，終極完成於新耶路撒冷—十四 1，弗四16，啓二一 2。
Week Four
The Offering of Isaac and Experiencing God as the One Who Gives Life to the Dead
Hymns: 630
Scripture Reading: Gen. 22:1-18; Heb. 11:17-19; Rom. 4:17
§ Day 1 & 2
I. God tested Abraham by instructing him to take his only son, Isaac, and offer him as a burnt offering—Gen. 22:1-2:
A. The life at Beer-sheba produces a burnt offering (Isaac) that is offered to God:
1. Isaacs source of living made him a burnt offering, one who was offered to God for His satisfaction—vv. 2, 7-9:
a. The Hebrew word for burnt offering literally means "that which goes up" and denotes something that ascends to God—Lev. 1:3, footnote 1.
b. The burnt offering typifies Christ not mainly in His redeeming man from sin but in His living a life that is perfect and absolutely for God and for Gods satisfaction and in His being the life that enables Gods people to have such a living—v. 9; John 5:19, 30; 6:38; 7:18; 8:29; 14:24; 2 Cor. 5:15; Gal. 2:19-20.
c. The burnt offering is Gods food that God may enjoy it and be satisfied—Num. 28:2.
2. The proper church life produces burnt offerings—Lev. 1:1-2; Rom. 12:1-2:
a. The living, growing, and calling on the name of Jehovah, El Olam, at Beersheba are all for the producing of a burnt offering—Gen. 21:33; 22:1-2.
b. The more we stay in the church life, the more it will bring us from Beersheba to Moriah.
B. Like Abraham, we need to learn the lesson of offering back to God what He has given to us—vv. 1-18; Rom. 11:36:
1. Everything concerning Isaac was of God and by God, and God required that Abraham offer Isaac back to Him as a burnt offering—Gen. 22:1-2.
2. Isaac, a type of Christ as the promised seed (Gal. 3:16), was given to Abraham by God, yet God asked Abraham to give back to God what God had given him; this surely was a test to Abraham— Gen. 22:1; Heb. 11:17.
3. Here we see a basic principle in Gods economy: all that God has given us, even what He has wrought into us and through us, must eventually be offered back to Him, that we may live a life of faith, not holding on to anything, even to the things given by God, but relying only on Him.
4. The highest demand from God is to give back to Him what He has given us.
§ Day 3
II. In Genesis 22:1-18 we see Abrahams obedience of faith— Heb. 11:17-19:
A. Abraham did not initiate anything or do anything according to his concept.
B. The faith that had been infused into Abraham brought him to Mount Moriah, which is another name for Mount Zion, and enabled him to offer Isaac as a burnt offering—Gen. 22:1-2; 2 Chron. 3:1.
III. Abraham called the place where he offered Isaac Jehovah- jireh—Gen. 22:14:
A. Moriah means "the vision of Jah," that is, the vision of Jehovah; on Mount Moriah Abraham saw God, and God saw him—v. 2.
B. Verse 14b can be translated either, "On the mount of Jehovah it will be provided," or "On the mount of Jehovah He will be seen":
1. On Mount Moriah Abraham experienced Gods provision and received a clear vision.
2. Gods provision is with His vision, so whenever we enjoy Gods provision, we have a vision in which we see God, and God sees us.
C. Today Gods provision is in the church life, where we have the full provision with the clear vision.
D. In the Lords recovery we are journeying upward to Mount Moriah, where we will offer our Isaac, enjoy Gods provision, and have a transparent vision.
§ Day 4
IV. After Isaac was offered, he was returned in resurrection for the fulfillment of Gods purpose—vv. 16-18; Heb. 11:17-19; Rom. 4:17:
A. In receiving Isaac back, Abraham believed in and experienced God as the One who gives life to the dead—the God of resurrection—Heb. 11:17-19; Rom. 4:17; 2 Cor. 1:9.
B. When Isaac was returned in resurrection, he was no longer a natural Isaac but a resurrected Isaac.
C. After Isaac was offered, he was returned to Abraham in resurrection and became a blessing—Gen. 22:16-18.
D. Everything in our life must pass through the supreme test of death to make a way for the God of resurrection—John 11:25; 2 Cor. 1:9.
E. After we offer to God what we have received of Him, He will return it to us in resurrection—Heb. 11:17-19:
1. Every gift, spiritual blessing, work, and success that we have received of God must pass through death and eventually be brought back to us in resurrection.
2. If we offer to God what we have received of Him and it passes through death, He will return it to us in resurrection, and it will become a blessing for the fulfillment of His purpose—Gen. 22:16-18.
3. Gods blessing always comes in resurrection; if we offer our Isaac to God and he is returned to us in resurrection, we will be under Gods blessing.
§ Day 5
V. By being offered back to God by Abraham, Isaac was multiplied to become the New Jerusalem—vv. 16-18; Rom. 8:29; Rev. 21:2, 7:
A. The New Jerusalem will be the ultimate consummation of Abrahams seed—the sand and the stars—Gen. 22:16-18; Rom. 8:29; Rev. 21:2, 7:
1. In the New Jerusalem those represented by the twelve tribes are the sand, and those represented by the twelve apostles are the stars—vv. 12, 14.
2. The two peoples signified by the sand and the stars will be built together into the New Jerusalem.
B. In Genesis 22 we see a basic principle—that the way to have Gods gift multiplied is to offer back to God what He has given to us:
1. One Isaac, offered to God and returned in resurrection, became numberless stars and sand.
2. If we offer our one grain to God and allow Him to put it to death, it will be returned to us in resurrection, and we will see multiplication under Gods blessing—John 12:24.
§ Day 6
VI. Mount Moriah, the place of Gods choice, eventually became Mount Zion, the site of the temple and the center of the good land; in our spiritual experience Mount Moriah eventually becomes Mount Zion—Gen. 22:2, 14; 2 Chron. 3:1; Heb. 11:17-19; 12:22-23; Rev. 14:1-5:
A. Abraham was the first to worship God with the burnt offering on Mount Zion—v. 1.
B. Later, Abrahams descendants, the children of Israel, were commanded by God to go three times a year to this place to worship God and there to offer to Him their burnt offerings—Deut. 16:16; Psa. 132:13.
C. Today, Abrahams spiritual descendants, the New Testament believers, are on Mount Zion—Heb. 12:22-23.
D. Eventually, we all will join Abraham to worship God on the eternal Mount Zion, the New Jerusalem; the entire New Jerusalem is Zion, the Holy of Holies, the place where God is—Rev. 14:1-5; 21:22.
E. The Lords recovery is to build up Zion—the reality of the Body of Christ consummating in the New Jerusalem—14:1; Eph. 4:16; Rev. 21:2.
