9约一14 话成了肉体，支搭帐幕在我们中间，丰丰满满地有恩典，有实际。我们也见过祂的荣耀，正是从父而来独生子的荣耀。
9John 1:14 And the Word became flesh and tabernacled among us (and we beheld His glory, glory as of the only Begotten from the Father), full of grace and reality.
10十二23~24 ……人子得荣耀的时候到了。我实实在在地告诉你们，一粒麦子不落在地里死了，仍旧是一粒；若是死了，就结出许多子粒来。
1012:23-24...The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. Truly, truly, I say to you, Unless the grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it abides alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.
11基督是三一神的第二者，从已过的永远就有神圣的荣耀。约翰一章一节启示基督（话）就是神：“太初有话，话与神同在，话就是神。”基督是神，就有神圣的荣耀。基督既然从已过的永远就是神，祂也就从已过的永远就有神圣的荣耀。神圣的荣耀是什么？神圣的荣耀就是神自己。神自己就是荣耀。
11Christ as the second of the Triune God possessed the divine glory from eternity past. John 1:1 reveals that Christ, the Word, is God: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” As God, Christ has the divine glory. Since Christ was God from eternity past, He possessed the divine glory also from eternity past. What is the divine glory? The divine glory is God Himself. God Himself is glory.
12基督借着成为肉体所穿上的人性，成了遮藏祂神性之荣耀的外壳。我们在这里说“祂的肉体”，也许比说“祂的人性”更好，因为十四节告诉我们，这位神成了肉体。这肉体，这人性，成了遮藏基督神性之荣耀的外壳。基督的神性本身就是神圣的荣耀。就如神是光，照样，神性就是荣耀。当基督在肉体里，在祂的人性里，祂的肉体就是遮藏祂神性的外壳，因而遮藏了祂的荣耀（李常受文集一九九四至一九九七年第五册，四○○至四○一页）。
12Christ’s humanity through His incarnation became a shell to conceal the glory of His divinity. Instead of the words His humanity, it is perhaps better to use the expression His flesh, for John 1:14 tells us that the very God became flesh. This flesh, this humanity, became a shell to conceal the glory of Christ’s divinity. Christ’s divinity is itself the divine glory. Just as God is light, divinity is glory. When Christ was in the flesh, in His humanity, His flesh was a shell that concealed His divinity and thereby concealed His glory. (CWWL, 1994-1997, vol. 5, “The Issue of Christ Being Glorified by the Father with the Divine Glory,” pp. 318-319)

13因着神圣的荣耀遮藏在〔基督〕肉体的外壳里，所以祂必须得荣耀。在约翰十二章二十三节祂说，“人子得荣耀的时候到了。”在十七章一节祂祷告说，“父啊，时候到了，愿你荣耀你的儿子，使儿子也荣耀你。”在五节祂继续说，“父啊，现在求你使我与你同得荣耀，就是未有世界以先，我与你同有的荣耀。”
13Because the divine glory was concealed within the shell of His flesh, it was necessary for [Christ] to be glorified. In John 12:23 He said, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.” In 17:1 He prayed, “Father, the hour has come; glorify Your Son that the Son may glorify You.” In verse 5 He went on to say, “Now, glorify Me along with Yourself, Father, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.”
14基督就是神，祂自己就是荣耀，但这荣耀被遮藏在祂人性的外壳里，因此人无法得见祂神圣的荣耀。人能看见祂的外壳，却看不见祂外壳所遮藏的荣耀。然而，使徒约翰在他的福音书里说，“我们也见过祂的荣耀，正是从父而来独生子的荣耀。”（一14下）他与彼得和雅各，乃是在山上主变化形像时，见过主的荣耀〔参太十七2〕。祂的变化形像乃是祂的得荣耀。当祂活在祂肉体的外壳里时，祂暂时从祂的肉体里出来而得着荣耀。……在主复活以前，只有三个人在山上看见得荣耀的耶稣，但在主复活以后，千百万的人都能看见祂。今天我们所看见的基督，不是仍在体壳里，乃是已经从体壳里出来并得着荣耀的基督。
14As God, Christ Himself was glory, but this glory was concealed in the shell of His humanity, and thus His divine glory could not be seen. Others could see His shell, but they could not see His glory concealed within the shell. However, in his Gospel the apostle John says, “We beheld His glory, glory as of the only Begotten from the Father” (1:14). He, along with Peter and James, beheld the Lord’s glory when He was transfigured on the mountain [cf. Matt. 17:2]. His transfiguration was a glorification. While He was living in the shell of His flesh, He temporarily came out of His flesh and was glorified. Whereas only three beheld the glorified Jesus on the mountain before His resurrection, after His resurrection millions can see Him. Today we see not a Christ who is still in the shell but a Christ who has come out of the shell and has been glorified.
15主耶稣渴望从祂肉体外壳的拘禁里释放出来。祂在约翰十二章二十四节说到这个释放。……主耶稣作为一粒麦子若没有死，就仍是一样；但祂落在地里死了，那死就将祂从祂人性的体壳里释放出来。祂的成为肉体，使祂神圣的荣耀遮藏在祂的肉体里，但借着祂的死，祂的荣耀就释放出来，好在复活里产生许多子粒，成为祂的扩增，彰显祂的荣耀（李常受文集一九九四至一九九七年第五册，四○二至四○四页）。
15The Lord Jesus...desired to be released from the constraint of the shell of His flesh. He referred to this release in John 12:24...If the Lord Jesus as a grain of wheat had not died, He would have remained the same. But He fell into the ground and died, and that death released Him from His human shell. His incarnation caused His divine glory to be concealed in His flesh, but through His death His glory was released for the producing in His resurrection of the many grains, which become His increase as the expression of His glory. (CWWL, 1994-1997, vol. 5, “The Issue of Christ Being Glorified by the Father with the Divine Glory,” pp. 319-321)
16在永世里，那是灯的羔羊凭着是光的神照耀，用神的荣耀，就是神圣之光的彰显，照亮新耶路撒冷。神是光，基督是灯，是带光体，这指明神与基督无法分开。事实上，祂们是一个光。神是内容，基督是带光体，作神的彰显。……父神在子里，借着子得彰显（新约总论第二册，一六○页）。
16In eternity the Lamb as the lamp will shine with God as the light to illuminate the New Jerusalem with the glory of God, which glory is the expression of the divine light. God as the light, and Christ as the lamp, the lightbearer, indicate that God and Christ cannot be separated. Actually they are one light. God is the content, and Christ is the light-bearer for the expression of God...God the Father is in the Son to be expressed through the Son. (The Conclusion of the New Testament, p. 360)

今日要点
18主题：为使基督得着荣耀，祂需经过种种的过程
18
19引经：约一14，约十二23~24
19
201.借著成肉体和钉死的过程，为使荣耀得释放：
20
21a. 神的荣耀不仅与神的经纶有关，也与基督有关，基督是神圣三一的第二者，从已过的永远就有神圣的荣耀，约一1启示作为话的基督就是神，而神的荣耀与基督的成肉体、经人生、钉死、复活、升天、再来有关，首先，根据约一14，在祂的成为肉体，祂神性的荣耀遮藏在祂人性的体壳里。
21
22b. 第二，在祂的人性生活中，在祂的生活和工作上，不寻求自己的荣耀，只寻求那差祂来者的荣耀，因着神圣的荣耀被遮藏在基督肉体的体壳里，所以祂必须得荣耀，必须借着死，使祂人性的体壳破裂。
22
232.借复活和升天，基督得着荣耀尊贵为冠冕：
23
24a.在约十二章，人以为主要进城得国，要得荣耀了，但主的观念并非如此，主在约十二23先说，人子得荣耀的时候到了，24节接着说到一粒麦子若不落在地里死了，仍旧是一粒，意思就是仍旧无法得荣耀，若在地里死了，就能得荣耀，因此，第三，借着祂的死与复活，祂神性的荣耀就被释放，借着复活而得荣耀。
24
25b. 第四，在祂的升天里，祂在神的荣耀里得了荣耀尊贵为冠冕，第五，在要来的日子里，主作为人子还要在父的荣耀里来临，第六，在永世的新耶路撒冷里，基督那是灯的羔羊，凭着是光的神照耀，用神的荣耀，就是神圣之光的彰显，照亮新耶路撒冷。
25
26应用：珍赏基督为着将荣耀带到我们里面，而经过的种种过程，向祂有爱的回应，并使我们学习不断接受祂的注入，而能够盛装这位荣耀的神作为蒙怜悯、早预备、得荣耀之器皿的内容，而使我们过活祂、彰显祂荣耀的生活。
