6腓二15~16 使你们无可指摘、纯洁无杂,在弯曲悖谬的世代中,作神无瑕疵的儿女;你们在其中好像发光之体显在世界里,将生命的话表明出来……。
6Phil. 2:15-16 That you may be blameless and guileless, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverted generation, among whom you shine as luminaries in the world, holding forth the word of life...
7林后四7 但我们有这宝贝在瓦器里,要显明这超越的能力,是属于神,不是出于我们。
72 Cor. 4:7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels that the excellency of the power may be of God and not out of us.
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)

9〔林后四章六节说到,〕神照在我们心里,结果使我们认识那显在耶稣基督面上之神的荣耀,也就是光照我们,使我们认识基督荣耀的福音。……神照在宇宙中,产生了旧造。但祂照在我们心里,使我们成为新造,因这照耀将荣耀基督这奇妙的宝贝,带到我们这瓦器里面。
9God’s shining in our hearts [in 2 Corinthians 4:6] results in the illumination of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ, that is, in the enlightenment that causes us to know the glory of the gospel of Christ...God’s shining in the universe produced the old creation. His shining in our hearts has made us a new creation, because this shining brings into us, earthen vessels, the marvelous treasure of the Christ of glory.
10神照在我们心里,是为着光照我们,使我们能认识那显在基督面上的荣耀。那显在耶稣基督面上之神的荣耀,乃是荣耀的神借耶稣基督得着彰显;祂是神荣耀的光辉(来一3);认识祂就是认识荣耀的神。林后四章六节的光照,指神的光从那些心里蒙神光照的人,发光照耀别人,与二节的“将真理显扬出来”相合,也与马太五章十六节的“照”,并腓立比二章十五节的“显”相同。神照在我们心里,为叫我们光照别人,使他们认识神显在耶稣基督面上的荣耀,也就是认识那彰显神,表明神的基督(约一18)。
10The shining of God in our hearts is to illumine us that we may know the glory in Christ’s face. The glory of God manifested in the face of Jesus Christ is the God of glory expressed through Jesus Christ, who is the effulgence of the glory of God (Heb. 1:3); to know Him is to know the God of glory. In particular, the illumination in 2 Corinthians 4:6, which refers to the shining of God’s light on others out from those whose hearts have been enlightened by God, corresponds with the manifestation of the truth in verse 2 and is the same as the shining in Matthew 5:16 and Philippians 2:15. God shines in our hearts that we may shine on others so that they may have the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ, that is, the knowledge of Christ, who expresses and declares God (John 1:18).
11我们要经历神的照耀,就需要与基督有直接、个人、亲密的接触。这接触使神照耀在我们心里。神或许会照耀在我们身上,但我们若要祂照在我们里面,我们就必须与祂有直接且亲密的接触。……我们借着呼求主,就被带进与祂面对面的接触里,经历神照在我们心里。唯独我们与主有这样直接、切身并亲密的接触时,我们才有内里的照耀。每当我们亲切、亲密地呼求主,我们就在祂的面前,而神也照耀在我们的心里。这样,我们就把所接受的再照耀出来,使基督福音的荣耀得以照耀。
11In order to experience God’s shining, we need to have direct, personal, and intimate contact with Christ. This contact will cause God to shine in our hearts. God may shine upon us, but if we want Him to shine in us, we need to have direct, intimate contact with Him...By calling on the Lord we are brought into face-to-face contact with Him and experience God’s shining in our heart. Only when we have such direct, personal, and intimate contact with the Lord do we have the inner shining. Whenever we call on the Lord in a dear, intimate way, we are before His face, and the shining of God is in our heart. Then we may shine out what we have received for the shining of the glory of the gospel of Christ.
12我们的传福音该非常光照人。这就是说,在我们传讲时,神就照在那些和我们说话的人心里。我们也要帮助他们呼求主耶稣的名,使他们被带到基督面前,与祂有切身的接触,并经历神照耀在他们的心里。这样的传讲不仅仅是陈明某些事实,乃是陈明一种荣耀。那些接受荣耀福音的人,要得着基督作为分赐到他们里面的珍宝。这样,他们就会和我们一样,成为盛装这宝贝的瓦器(新约总论第十册,二三三至二三四页)。
12We need to preach the gospel in a very illuminating way. This means that while we are preaching, God shines into the hearts of those to whom we are speaking. We also need to help them to call on the name of the Lord Jesus in order that they would be brought to the face of Christ, have personal contact with Him, and experience God’s shining in their hearts. To preach in this way is to present not merely a gospel of certain facts but a gospel of glory. Those who receive the gospel of glory will have Christ as the precious treasure dispensed into them. Then, like us, they will be earthen vessels containing this treasure. (The Conclusion of the New Testament, pp. 3207-3209)

今日要点
14主题:神照在我们心里,为使我们光照别人
14
15引经:腓二15~16林后四7
15
161.照入我们里面之荣耀,要从我们里面照射出来:
16
17A.基督荣耀福音的光照,越多照进我们里面,就越多穿透我们,越多浸透我们,销毁我们,吞没我们,然后基督荣耀福音的光照,就要借着我们透出来,借着我们照耀出去,这与提前一11保罗说,这是照着那托付与我,可称颂之神荣耀的福音,是一致的。
17
18b.这节指明,基督荣耀的福音首先照在我们里面,使我们认识那在耶稣面上之神的荣耀,有一个目的,就是为叫我们光照别人,从我们里面照耀出去,使人也能够认识那显在耶稣面上之神的荣耀,就是认识那彰显神并表明神的基督。
18
192.瓦器里有宝贝,作发光体显在世界里:
19
20a.这就是神经纶的目标,神的荣耀借着基督被带到人性里,这福音呼召我们,祂这荣耀照射到我们这蒙怜悯、得荣耀的器皿,再从我们照射出去,照射到其他人里面,这也就是腓二15所说的显在世界里的发光之体,也是林后四7保罗所说,瓦器里有宝贝,要显明这莫大能力。
20
21b.因此,在我们传福音时,该有一种光照,我们不该传自己,乃该传基督耶稣为主,因为祂才是福音的内容,我们不是,那借着我们的光照而接受基督荣耀之福音的人,就要得着基督作为分赐到他们里面的珍宝,这样,他们就会和我们一样,成为盛装基督这无价宝贝的瓦器,显明这超越浩大的能力,彰显祂荣耀的丰富。
21
22应用:我们要经历神的照耀,就需要与基督有直接、个人、亲密的接触,这使神能照耀在我们心里,借着呼求主、与祂面对面交通,除去我们里面一切不能照透的因素,这样当我们传讲福音时,神就照在那些和我们说话的人里面,不是外面事实的传讲,而是将荣耀照进人里面。
