4林后四4 ……基督荣耀之福音的光照,……基督本是神的像。
42 Cor. 4:4 ...The illumination of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God...
56 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。
56 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.
6林后四章四节指明,“神”、“像”、“基督”、“荣耀”、“福音”和“光照”都与彼此同义;因此,这些辞都是指同一个美妙的人位。神是像,像是基督,基督是荣耀,荣耀是福音,而福音就是光照。首先,“神的像”这辞表明像与神同义。作源头的神有一个像,这像就是神自己。我们若看见神的像,就是看见神;倘若神消失了,祂的像也就消失了。……因此,神的像一点不差就是神自己。
6Second Corinthians 4:4 indicates that the terms God, image, Christ, glory, gospel, and illumination are all in apposition to one another; thus, they all refer to the same wonderful person. God is the image, the image is Christ, Christ is the glory, the glory is the gospel, and the gospel is the illumination. First, the expression the image of God shows that the image is in apposition to God. God, who is the source, has an image, and this image is simply God Himself. If we see the image of God, we see God; if God disappears, His image disappears as well...Therefore, the image of God is nothing less than God Himself.
7第二,……神的像是基督。基督作为神的像,乃是那不能看见之神的彰显。第三,基督是荣耀。这在希伯来一章三节得着证实,那里说,基督是神荣耀的光辉。第四,基督这荣耀乃是福音。使徒行传告诉我们,信徒传基督耶稣为福音(五42,八35,十一20,十七18)。这表明福音并非与基督分开的东西;反之,基督就是福音。今天有些基督徒在传福音时,将福音与基督分开。但按着圣经中神圣的启示,福音乃是一个活的人位—基督。基督这福音是神的像,神的像就是神。因此,福音乃是神自己具体化并彰显于基督(新约总论第十册,二三一至二三二页)。
7Second...the image of God is Christ. As the image of God, Christ is the expression of the invisible God. Third, Christ is the glory. This is confirmed by Hebrews 1:3, which says that Christ is the effulgence of God’s glory. Fourth, Christ, the glory, is the gospel. Acts tells us that the believers preached Christ Jesus as the gospel (5:42; 8:35; 11:20; 17:18). This shows that the gospel is not something separate from Christ; rather, Christ is the gospel. Today some Christians in their preaching separate the gospel from Christ. But according to the divine revelation in the Bible, the gospel is a living person, Christ. Christ who is the gospel is the image of God, and the image of God is God. Therefore, the gospel is God Himself embodied and expressed in Christ. (The Conclusion of the New Testament, p. 3206)

8第五,福音是照明,光照。福音乃是基督荣耀的福音,照明、照射、照耀在人心里。当这福音临及我们时,它乃是借着光照耀我们,这照耀将基督带到我们里面;基督本是经过过程之三一神的像。结果,基督这活的人位就照进我们里面。许多信徒能见证,当他们听见基督这福音时,一种基督的印象就进入他们里面。尽管他们试图拒绝这种基督的印象,或试图将这印象从他们里面涂抹掉,但他们无法作到。基督的印象一旦照到我们里面,就永远留在我们里面。这照明是福音,这福音是荣耀,这荣耀是基督,基督是神的像,而基督本是神。因此,所照进我们里面的,乃是活的人位,就是具体化在基督里的三一神;基督是神的像,神的彰显。
8Fifth, the gospel is the illumination, the enlightenment. The gospel is the gospel of the glory of Christ, which illuminates, radiates, and shines in the heart of man. When the gospel came to us, it came to us by shining, and this shining brought into us Christ, who is the image of the processed Triune God. As a result, Christ, the living person, was illuminated into our being. Many believers can testify that when they heard Christ as the gospel, a certain impression of Christ entered into them. Although they may try to reject this impression of Christ or erase it from their being, they cannot do it. Once the impression of Christ is illuminated into us, it remains within us forever. This illumination is the gospel, this gospel is the glory, this glory is Christ, Christ is the image of God, and as such, Christ is God. Therefore, what has been illuminated into our being is a living person, the Triune God embodied in Christ, who is the image, the expression, of God.
9荣耀的基督这超越的宝贝,是信徒借着基督荣耀之福音的光照所接受的。我们需要记住,我们里面有宝贝,就是一位活的、超越世界的人位。基督是全宇宙中最超越的一位;没有什么比祂更超越。我们既有基督这宝贝—最超越、最可爱的一位,我们就不爱世界。并非我们不该爱世界,乃是因为世界远逊于这宝贝,就是超越又可爱的基督。我们宝贝主远过于世界。
9The Christ of glory as the excellent treasure is received by the believers through the illumination of the gospel of the glory of Christ. We need to remember that we have within us the treasure, a living person who is more excellent than the world. Christ is the most excellent One in the whole universe; there is nothing that is more excellent than He. Since we have Christ as the treasure, the most excellent One and the most lovely One, we do not love the world. It is not that we should not love the world but that the world is inferior to the treasure, the excellent and lovely Christ. We treasure the Lord more than the world.
10基督荣耀之福音的光照已经照亮我们;基督本是神的像。林后四章四节中基督荣耀的福音,与六节中认识神的荣耀相合。……那使人认识神荣耀的光照,是显在耶稣基督的面上。这指明使徒所传的福音不是道理、神学或教训,乃是一位可爱的人位;我们可以从祂的面上看见神的荣耀,神的像。我们经历那照在耶稣基督面上之神的荣耀时,这照耀就将基督这神的像带到我们里面。我们乃是受这样一位基督所吸引(新约总论第十册,二三二、二三六至二三七页)。
10The illumination of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, has shined on us. The gospel of the glory of Christ in 2 Corinthians 4:4 corresponds with the knowledge of the glory of God in verse 6...The illumination of the knowledge of the glory of God is in the face of Jesus Christ. This indicates that the gospel preached by the apostle was not a doctrine, theology, or teaching; rather, it was a lovely person on whose face we can see the glory of God, the image of God. When we experience the glory of God shining in the face of Jesus Christ, this shining brings into us Christ as the image of God. We are attracted to such a Christ. (The Conclusion of the New Testament, pp. 3206-3207, 3210)

今日要点
12主题:除去帕子并观看基督,就越得着基督面上之神的荣耀
12
13引经:林后四46
13
141.林后四4~6节的一切,都指出一个美妙的人位:
14
15A.在林后四4~6,论到基督荣耀之福音的光照这事,我们需要看见,神、像、基督、荣耀、福音、光照这些词,都不是指分开的事物,这些词都是同义的,因此,这些词都指向一个美妙的人位,神是像,像是基督,基督是荣耀,荣耀是福音,福音是光照。
15
16B.作源头的神住在不能靠近的光中,但祂有一个像,这像就是祂,看见像就是看见祂,基督作为神的像,是那不能看见之神看得见的彰显,而基督乃是神荣耀的光辉,当使徒传基督耶稣为福音,指明基督就是福音。
16
172.越多除去帕子,越多观看,就越得着基督面上之神的荣耀:
17
18A.福音乃是照明、光照,照耀、光照到我们时,这就是福音,还记得昨天说的照相机吗?这照耀将基督这经过过程之三一神的像,带到我们里面,基督这活的人位就照进我们里面,荣耀的基督,超越的宝贝,借着信徒接受光照,而进到信徒里面。
18
19B.所以,基督是神的像,神的荣耀显在基督的面上,当我们除去一切遮蔽,观看这可爱的人位时,我们就把祂面上神的荣耀,带到,接受到我们灵里,我们越多观看祂,就越多认识耶稣基督面上之神的荣耀,我们就越多被福音所得着。
19
20应用:我们不该只专注于有外面传福音的活动,更该留意自己是否被基督荣耀之福音的光照所照透,一面我们该有福音的行动,另一面我们该像被义和团困绑游街,面上却发光的姊妹一样,里面有福音的光照,从我们的生活中透出来。
