7林后四4 在他们里面，这世代的神弄瞎了他们这不信者的心思，叫基督荣耀之福音的光照，不照亮他们；基督本是神的像。
72 Cor. 4:4 In whom the god of this age has blinded the thoughts of the unbelievers that the illumination of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, might not shine on them.
86 因为那说光要从黑暗里照出来的神，已经照在我们心里，为着光照人，使人认识那显在耶稣基督面上之神的荣耀。
86 Because the God who said, Out of darkness light shall shine, is the One who shined in our hearts to illuminate the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
9保罗在林后四章三节……说，“如果我们的福音真的受蒙蔽，也是蒙蔽在灭亡的人身上。”在有些人身上，福音为老旧观念，特别为律法观念所蒙蔽（三14~15）。原则上，凡拦阻人领略基督福音的，如哲学、宗教、文化传统等，都是帕子。因此，传扬基督必须揭开这些帕子，正如我们摄影时，要从镜头拿开镜盖，才能拍摄景物。……〔在四章四节，〕这世代的神就是那迷惑者撒但，现今世代的管辖者；他统治着今天的世界，弄瞎人的思想和心思，猎取人的敬拜。在这一节，弄瞎的意思就是蒙蔽人的悟性。此外，这一节的心思是指悟性或思想（哥林多后书生命读经，八八至八九页）。
9In 2 Corinthians 4:3 Paul [says], “And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled in those who are perishing.” In some the gospel is veiled by old concepts, especially the concept concerning the law (3:14-15). In principle, anything such as philosophy, religion, or cultural traditions that hinders people from apprehending the gospel of Christ is a veil. Hence, the preaching of Christ must unveil them, just as in photography the cover is removed from the lens in order to take a picture. The god of this age in [4:4] is Satan, the deceiver, the ruler of this present age. He dominates today’s world and hunts for man’s worship by blinding his mind and his thoughts. In this verse blinded means to veil a person’s understanding. Furthermore, the thoughts here denote “the understanding” or “the mind.” (Life-study of 2 Corinthians, second edition, pp. 77-78)

Today’s Reading
10那些被弄瞎、被遮蔽的人以为他们没有敬拜什么。事实上，他们的神就是撒但。无神论者敬拜撒但，而不知道自己正在作什么。今天世上的人，不论是原始的或是有高尚文化的，都被这世代的神弄瞎了心思。
10Those who are blinded or veiled think that they do not worship anything. Actually, their god is Satan. Atheists worship Satan without knowing what they are doing. All people today, whether primitive or highly cultured, have been blinded by the god of this age.
11我们若要接受神儿子的启示，就必须放下我们的观念。每一个观念，不论是属灵的或属世的，都是帕子。我追求了许多年，一直摸索要学习如何能得着启示；最终我发现，要有启示就必须放下我们的观念。……今天神照耀在各处。这个恩典的时代乃是亮光的时代。神照耀，圣经也照耀。圣经满了光，它已经翻译成数百种语文发行。不仅如此，包罗万有的灵运行在地上，是满了恩典的。但尽管圣经在照耀，那灵在运行，许多人仍旧没有得着启示。原因就是他们持守一些观念，并且被这些观念蒙蔽。……我们要接受启示，在神那边没有问题，……问题全在我们这边。我们需要除去帕子，那就是放下我们的观念。我们的祷告是很重要的：“主，帮助我除去任何是帕子的东西。”……如果你读主的话时放下自己的观念，你就是以没有帕子遮蔽的脸来读主的话。然后光就会主观地照耀在你里面。
11If we would receive the revelation of the Son of God, we need to drop our concepts. Every concept, whether spiritual or carnal, is a veil. I have spent many years groping in my search to learn how to have revelation. Eventually I discovered that to have revelation we need to drop our concepts. God today is shining everywhere. This age of grace is an age of light. God is shining, and the Bible is shining also. The Bible is full of light, and it has been printed in hundreds of languages. Moreover, the all-inclusive Spirit moving on earth is full of grace. But although the Bible is shining and the Spirit is moving, many still do not receive revelation. The reason is that they hold to certain concepts and are veiled by these concepts. With respect to receiving revelation, there is no problem on God’s side...The problem is altogether on our side. We need to drop the veils, that is, to drop our concepts. It is important for us to pray, “Lord, help me to drop everything that is a veil.”...If you drop your concepts as you read the Word, you will read it with an unveiled face. Then the light will shine into you subjectively.
12今天我们很多人热切巴望活基督。但我们要活基督，就需要启示。我们一再地指出，启示能够临到我们，唯一的路就是我们放下自己的观念。我们也需要祷告：“主，我信靠你击败这世代的神。除你之外，我不敬拜什么。主，我将我的心转向你，我放下自己所有的观念。在你之外，我不要敬拜任何人。”如果你这样祷告，光就会照耀，你就会得着启示。如果你放下自己的观念，并将你的心转向主，帕子就除去了，这世代的神在你里面将没有地位。
12Today many of us earnestly desire to live Christ. But to live Christ we need revelation. As we have pointed out again and again, the only way revelation can come to us is if we drop our concepts. We also need to pray, “Lord, I trust in You to defeat the god of this age. Apart from You, I do not worship anything. Lord, I turn my heart to You, and I drop all my concepts. I don’t want to worship anyone other than You.” If you pray in this way, the light will shine, and you will receive revelation. If you drop your concepts and turn your heart to the Lord, the veils will be taken away, and the god of this age will have no ground in your being.
13我们若要看见这活人位的启示，首先必须放下我们的帕子、我们的观念；其次，我们需要将心转向主。按照林后三章十六节，我们的心几时转向主，帕子就几时除去了。你越将心转向主，这世代的神在你的生命和你全人里就越没有地位。然后你将在属天之光的照耀下，得着这活人位的启示。……愿我们都放下帕子，靠着祂的怜悯和恩典，将我们的心转向祂（加拉太书生命读经，四○至四三页）。
13If we would see such a revelation of the living person, we must begin by dropping our veils, our concepts. Second, we need to turn our hearts to the Lord. According to 2 Corinthians 3:16, when the heart turns to the Lord, the veil will be taken away. The more you turn your heart to the Lord, the less ground the god of this age will have in your life and in your being. Then you will be under the shining of the heavenly light, and you will receive the revelation of the living person...Let us all drop the veils and, by His mercy and grace, turn our hearts to Him. (Life-study of Galatians, second edition, pp. 31-34)

今日要点
15主题：除去这世代的神对人的遮蔽，而经历基督荣耀之福音的光照
15
16引经：林后四4，6
16
171.基督荣耀之福音的光照不照亮人的原因：
17
18a. 神有祂的经纶计画，但撒但也有其作为，在林后四章，保罗说到福音是可能会受到蒙蔽的，因为这世代的神，就是那迷惑者撒但，弄瞎了不信者的心思，叫基督荣耀之福音的光照，不照亮他们。
18
19b.说到这世界的王，是指撒但是管治世人的，有他的国，而说到这世代的神，乃是指撒但是受世人所敬拜的，有他的宗教，今天几乎所有的人，不论是原始的或是有高尚文化的，都被这世代的神弄瞎了心眼。
19
202.除去帕子，让神荣耀福音照耀在我们心里：
20
21a.今天神照耀在各处，圣经也被翻译成数百种语文，包罗万有的灵也运行在地上，管如此，为什么还这么多人被蒙蔽？因为若要接受神儿子的启示，今天我们要放下自己的观念，将我们的心转向主，好除去帕子。
21
22b. 神已经启示，神已将祂的经纶，也就是可称颂之神荣耀的福音照耀，在神那边没有问题，但问题全在我们有帕子，若放下观念，帕子就除去了，这世代的神在我们里面就没有任何地位，神荣耀的福音就要照在我们的心里。
22
23应用：许多人都被这世代的神所统治世界中的网路、政治、舆论等事务所蒙蔽，弄瞎了思想和心思，为此我们需要为着未得救的家人、同事、同学和朋友，列名祷告，求主怜悯，并使我们兴起福音的负担，速兴起传福音，而使他们能够得着基督荣耀福音的光照，从撒但权下转向神。
