天國好像寶貝藏在地裏，人遇見了就把它藏起來，歡歡喜喜地去變賣一切所有的，買這塊地。天國好像寶貝藏在地裏，人遇見了就把它藏起來，歡歡喜喜地去變賣一切所有的，買這塊地。太13:44 The kingdom of heaven is like something precious buried in a field, which a man found and hid again; then in his joy he goes and sells all he has and buys that field. Matthew 13:44

天國又好像買賣人尋找好珠子，遇見一顆重價的珠子，就去變賣他一切所有的，買了這顆珠子。天國又好像買賣人尋找好珠子，遇見一顆重價的珠子，就去變賣他一切所有的，買了這顆珠子。太13:45-46 Again the kingdom of heaven is like a man who is a dealer in search of fine and precious pearls,Who, on finding a single pearl of great price, went and sold all he had and bought it. Matthew 13:45-46

天國 Kingdom of God 教會

一.設立教會的目的Purposes of the Church 1.榮耀神The Glory of God 為要藉著教會使天上執政的、掌權的，現在得知　神百般的智慧。弗3:10 [The purpose is]that through the church the complicated, many-sided wisdom of God in all its infinite variety and innumerable aspects might now be made known to the angelic rulers and authorities (principalities and powers) in the heavenly sphere. Ephesians 3:10

　神能照著運行在我們心裏的大力充充足足地成就一切，超過我們所求所想的。但願他在教會中，並在基督耶穌裏，得著榮耀，直到世世代代，永永遠遠。阿們！　神能照著運行在我們心裏的大力充充足足地成就一切，超過我們所求所想的。但願他在教會中，並在基督耶穌裏，得著榮耀，直到世世代代，永永遠遠。阿們！弗3:20-21 [Now to Him Who, by (in consequence of) the [action of His] power that is at work within us, is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly, far over and above all that we [dare] ask or think [infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams]To Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations forever and ever. Amen (so be it). Ephesians 3:20-21

2.門徒的家Home for disciples 這樣，你們不再作外人和客旅，是與聖徒同國，是　神家裏的人了。弗2:19 [Therefore you are no longer outsiders (exiles, migrants, and aliens, excluded from the rights of citizens), but you now share citizenship with the saints (God’s own people, consecrated and set apart for Himself); and you belong to God’s [own] household. Ephesians 2:19

3.成為神的殿God’s Temple 並且被建造在使徒和先知的根基上，有基督耶穌自己為房角石，各（或譯：全）房靠他聯絡得合式，漸漸成為主的聖殿。弗2:20-21 You are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets with Christ Jesus Himself the chief Cornerstone. In Him the whole structure is joined (bound, welded) together harmoniously, and it continues to rise (grow, increase) into a holy temple in the Lord [a sanctuary dedicated, consecrated, and sacred to the presence of the Lord] Ephesians 2:20-21

你們也靠他同被建造，成為　神藉著聖靈居住的所在。你們也靠他同被建造，成為　神藉著聖靈居住的所在。弗2:22 In Him [and in fellowship with one another] you yourselves also are being built up [into this structure] with the rest, to form a fixed abode (dwelling place) of God in (by, through) the Spirit. Ephesians 2:22

3.成為爭戰的武器God’s Weapon 因我們並不是與屬血氣的爭戰（原文是摔跤；下同），乃是與那些執政的、掌權的、管轄這幽暗世界的，以及天空屬靈氣的惡魔爭戰。弗6:12 For we are not wrestling with flesh and blood [contending only with physical opponents], but against the despotisms, against the powers, against [the master spirits who are] the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) sphere. Ephesians6:12

所以，要拿起　神所賜的全副軍裝，好在磨難的日子抵擋仇敵，並且成就了一切，還能站立得住。所以，要拿起　神所賜的全副軍裝，好在磨難的日子抵擋仇敵，並且成就了一切，還能站立得住。弗6:13 Therefore put on God’s complete armor, that you may be able to resist and stand your ground on the evil day [of danger], and, having done all [the crisis demands], to stand [firmly in your place]. Ephesians6:13

我還告訴你，你是彼得，我要把我的教會建造在這磐石上；陰間的權柄（權柄：原文是門），不能勝過他。我還告訴你，你是彼得，我要把我的教會建造在這磐石上；陰間的權柄（權柄：原文是門），不能勝過他。太16:18 And I tell you, you are Peter [Greek, Petros—a large piece of rock], and on this rock [Greek, petra—a huge rock like Gibraltar] I will build My church, and the gates of Hades (the powers of the infernal region) shallnot overpower it [or be strong to its detriment or hold out against it]. Matthew 16:18

我要把天國的鑰匙給你，凡你在地上所捆綁的，在天上也要捆綁；凡你在地上所釋放的，在天上也要釋放。我要把天國的鑰匙給你，凡你在地上所捆綁的，在天上也要捆綁；凡你在地上所釋放的，在天上也要釋放。太16:19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind (declare to be improper and unlawful) on earth must be what is already bound in heaven; and whatever you loose (declare lawful) on earth must be what is already loosed in heaven. Matthew 16:19

二.國度教會的架構structure 為他所賜的，有使徒，有先知，有傳福音的，有牧師和教師，為要成全聖徒，各盡其職，建立基督的身體。弗4:11-12 [And His gifts were [varied; He Himself appointed and gave men to us] some to be apostles (special messengers), some prophets (inspired preachers and expounders), some evangelists (preachers of the Gospel, traveling missionaries), some pastors (shepherds of His flock) and teachers.His intention was the perfecting and the full equipping of the saints (His consecrated people), [that they should do] the work of ministering toward building up Christ’s body (the church) Ephesians 3:11-12

直等到我們眾人在真道上同歸於一，認識　神的兒子，得以長大成人，滿有基督長成的身量。直等到我們眾人在真道上同歸於一，認識　神的兒子，得以長大成人，滿有基督長成的身量。弗4:13 [That it might develop] until we all attain oneness in the faith and in the comprehension of the [full and accurate] knowledge of the Son of God, that [we might arrive] at really mature manhood (the completeness of personality which is nothing less than the standard height of Christ’s own perfection), the measure of the stature of the fullness of the Christ and the completeness found in Him. Ephesians 3:13

三.擴張Expansion 惟用愛心說誠實話，凡事長進，連於元首基督。弗4:15 Rather, let our lives lovingly express truth [in all things, speaking truly, dealing truly, living truly]. Enfolded in love, let us grow up in every way and in all things into Him Who is the Head, [even] Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One). Ephesians 4:15

全身都靠他聯絡得合式，百節各按各職，照著各體的功用彼此相助，便叫身體漸漸增長，在愛中建立自己。 弗4:16 For because of Him the whole body (the church, in all its various parts), closely joined and firmly knit together by the joints and ligaments with which it is supplied, when each part [with power adapted . Ephesians 4:16

他又設個比喻對他們說：「天國好像一粒芥菜種，有人拿去種在田裏。 」太13:31 Another story by way of comparison He set forth before them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field. Matthew 13:31

這原是百種裏最小的，等到長起來，卻比各樣的菜都大，且成了樹，天上的飛鳥來宿在它的枝上。這原是百種裏最小的，等到長起來，卻比各樣的菜都大，且成了樹，天上的飛鳥來宿在它的枝上。太13:32 Of all the seeds it is the smallest, but when it has grown it is the largest of the garden herbs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and find shelter in its branches. Matthew 13:32
