8基督荣耀的福音首先照进我们里面,然后要从我们里面照出来。荣耀越在我们里面照耀,就越穿透我们并浸透我们。至终,这里面的荣耀要销毁、吞没我们整个里面的人。然后基督荣耀之福音的光要借着我们照耀出去。这样的照耀无法借着教训而来,唯有借着经历基督才能临到;基督自己就是神的荣耀,也是神的显现。我们赞美主,基督已经照进我们全人的深处,现今祂正在我们里面照耀,并且要照透我们里面的人。因此,我们需要注意基督这荣耀在里面之内里的照耀。神经纶的目标,乃是要我们都照耀出祂的荣耀。当我们在这样的光照之下,基督就要以祂自己浸透我们,我们就享受基督活在我们里面作我们生命和人位的甜美(新约总论第十册,二三二至二三三页)。
8The gospel of the glory of Christ first shines into us, and then it shines out from within us. The more the glory shines within us, the more it penetrates into our being and saturates it. Eventually, the inner glory will consume, swallow up, our entire inward being. Then the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ will shine out through us. Such a shining cannot come by way of teaching; it can come only through the experience of Christ who is Himself the glory of God and the manifestation of God. We praise the Lord that Christ has shone into the depths of our being, that now He is shining within us, and that He will shine throughout our inward being. Therefore, we need to pay attention to the inner shining of Christ as the glory within. The goal of God’s economy is that we all shine forth His glory. As we are under such a shining, Christ saturates us with Himself, and we enjoy the sweetness of Christ living in us to be our life and our person. (The Conclusion of the New Testament, p. 3207)
