8来一3 祂是神荣耀的光辉,是神本质的印像,用祂大能的话维持、载着并推动万有;祂成就了洗罪的事,就坐在高处至尊至大者的右边。
8Heb. 1:3 Who, being the effulgence of His glory and the impress of His substance and upholding and bearing all things by the word of His power, having made purification of sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high.
9林后三18 但我们众人既然以没有帕子遮蔽的脸,好像镜子观看并返照主的荣光,就渐渐变化成为与祂同样的形像,从荣耀到荣耀,乃是从主灵变化成的。
92 Cor. 3:18 But we all with unveiled face, beholding and reflecting like a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord Spirit.
10基督是神的像,是神荣耀的光辉(来一3)。因此,基督的福音,就是神的荣耀照明并照耀的福音。撒但,这世代的神,弄瞎了不信之人的思想和心思,使基督荣耀之福音的光照,不照进他们心里。这就像照相机的镜头被遮住,光就无法将对象照进照相机里。……我们一按快门,就有办法把光连同物体影像和形像照进相机里面,而印在底片上。……但相机的镜头若盖住了,光就无法照进相机里面。有时候我们向人传福音时,他们好像是镜头盖住的照相机,光照不进去。……因着祂的怜悯和恩典,撒但的遮盖已经从我们的心思挪开。
10Christ as the image of God is the effulgence of His glory (Heb. 1:3). Hence, the gospel of Christ is the gospel of His glory that illuminates and shines forth. Satan, the god of this age, has blinded the thoughts and the minds of the unbelievers so that the illumination of the gospel of Christ’s glory might not shine into their hearts. This is similar to covering the lens of a camera so that the light cannot shine into the camera...When the shutter is pressed, there is a way for the light with the object, the figure, the image, to shine into the camera and be impressed on the film...However, if the lens of the camera is covered, there is no way for the light to shine into the camera. Sometimes when we preach the gospel to others, they are like a camera with the lens covered. The light cannot shine into them...By His mercy and grace, the satanic cover has been removed from our minds!
11林后三章十八节没有帕子遮蔽的脸,就是四章没有遮蔽的心思。照保罗的观念,这二者乃是一。因此,有了没有帕子遮蔽的脸,就是有了没有遮蔽的心思(哥林多后书生命读经,八九页)。
11The unveiled face in 2 Corinthians 3:18 is the uncovered mind in chapter 4. According to Paul’s concept, these two things are one. To have an unveiled face, therefore, is to have an uncovered mind. (Life-study of 2 Corinthians, second edition, p. 78)

12光照进我们里面,就把基督的形像照进来。这光透过我们的心思,照进我们的灵里。我们的灵可以比作底片。光透过我们敞开的心思,进到我们里面时,就碰着我们的灵,而将基督的影像,就是神的形像,照进我们里面。在召会中,我们正在实行这种属灵、属天的摄影。
12As light shines into us, it brings in the image of Christ. This illumination shines into our spirit through our mind. Our spirit can be compared to the film. When the shining comes into us through our open mind, it reaches our spirit and brings the figure of Christ, the image of God, into us. In the church we are practicing such a spiritual and heavenly photography.
13林后四章五节说,“因为我们不是传自己,乃是传基督耶稣为主……。”“因为”说明使徒的福音,就是他们所传基督之荣耀的福音,为何不该受蒙蔽,因为他们不是传自己,高举自己,乃是传基督耶稣为万有的主,也传他们为耶稣的缘故,作信徒的奴仆。
13Second Corinthians 4:5 says, “For we do not preach ourselves but Christ Jesus as Lord...” For explains why the apostles’ gospel, which is the gospel of the glory of Christ, should not have been veiled, for they did not preach, exalt, themselves but Christ Jesus as Lord of all, and they conducted themselves as the believers’ slaves for Jesus’ sake.
14基督耶稣为主,包含:基督是在万有之上,永远受颂赞的神(罗九5);永远的话成了肉体,成了人(约一14);耶稣是人钉十字架,成了我们的救主(徒四10~12),并且复活,成了神的儿子(十三33);基督被高举为主(二36),就是万人的主(十36罗十12约二十28林前十二3);祂是神的像,是神荣耀的光辉(来一3)。这就是福音的内容。因此,福音乃是基督荣耀的福音,照明、照射、照耀在人心里(林后四6)。人的心若不受任何事物遮蔽,也不被撒但这世代的神弄瞎,他就能看见福音的光照(4)。
14Christ Jesus as Lord comprises Christ, who is God over all, blessed forever (Rom. 9:5), the eternal Word incarnated to be a man (John 1:14), Jesus crucified as a man to be our Savior (Acts 4:10-12) and resurrected to be the Son of God (13:33), and Christ exalted to be the Lord (2:36), even the Lord of all men (10:36; Rom. 10:12; John 20:28; 1 Cor. 12:3), who is the image of God, the effulgence of God’s glory (Heb. 1:3). This is the very content of the gospel. Hence, the gospel is the gospel of the glory of Christ, which illuminates, radiates, and shines in the heart of man. If man’s heart is not veiled with anything or blinded by Satan, the god of this age, man can see the illumination of the gospel.
15林后四章六节说,“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。”……使徒传基督为主,也传他们作信徒的奴仆,因为那说光要从黑暗里照出来的神,已经照在他们心里。神照在宇宙中,产生了旧造;现今神照在他们心里,使他们成为新造。
15Second Corinthians 4:6 says, “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.”...The apostles preached Christ as Lord and themselves as the believers’ slaves, because the very God who commanded light to shine out of darkness had shined in their hearts. His shining in the universe produced the old creation. Now His shining in their hearts made them a new creation. (Life-study of 2 Corinthians, second edition, pp. 78-80)
16神照在我们心里,结果带来一种光照,使我们认识那显在基督面上之神的荣耀,也就是一种照明,使我们认识基督福音的荣耀。那使我们得知基督福音之荣耀的照明、光照,乃是出于神在我们心里的照耀(哥林多后书生命读经,九○至九二页)。
16God’s shining in our hearts results in the illumination of knowing the glory of God in the face of Christ, that is, in the enlightenment that causes us to know the glory of the gospel of Christ. This illumination, this enlightenment, that makes the glory of Christ’s gospel known to us issues from the shining of God in our hearts. (The Conclusion of the New Testament, p. 1213)

今日要点
18主题:基督荣耀的福音照明、照射、照耀在我们心里
18
19引经:来一3林后三18
19
201.借着除去帕子,得着基督荣耀之福音的照耀:
20
21a. 今天我们需要看见,基督是神的像,是神荣耀的光辉,基督的福音,就是祂的荣耀照明并照耀的福音,也就是提前一11所说,可称颂之神的福音,但是,撒但这世代的神,弄瞎了不信之人的思想和心思,使基督荣耀之福音的光照,不照进他们心里。
21
22B.这就像照相机,照相机有镜头、快门、底片,还有镜头盖,若这盖子不拿掉,镜头被遮住,光就无法将所见之物照进照相机的底片里成像,那世代的神,就像那个镜头盖,使人受蒙蔽,我们需要主的怜悯和恩典,使我们心眼上面的帕子能够移开,就如林后三18,就能返照主的荣光。
22
232.借着照入我们里面,基督这荣耀的光照就能印在我们里面:
23
24A.说到照相机,其他的部件也很重要,当镜头盖移除,光就能够照进镜头里面,并且借着我们运用快门,成像在底片上,光就是那灵,镜头就是我们的心思,而当我们操练运用灵,就按下快门,这景物就成像在我们人的灵里,使这荣光能够照进我们的灵里。
24
25B.来一3启示,基督乃是神荣耀的光辉,是神本质的印象,借着光照,基督的形像借着这福音已经照明、照射、照耀在我们心里,使人能够认识那在耶稣面上之神的荣耀,神照在宇宙中,产生了旧造,现今神照在人心里,使人成为祂的新造。
25
26应用:我们的传福音,不该传扬自己,乃该传基督耶稣为主,为此,我们需要为人的得救迫切祷告,叫人眼上的帕子能除去,福音的话能够说到人里面,而使人能得着三一神自己。
