1读经：提前三15~16，约一1、14，西二9，林前六17，七25、40
1
纲目
2壹 神的显现首先是在基督里——在肉体里个别的彰显——提前三16，西二9，约一1、14：
2
3一 新约不是说只有神的儿子成为肉体，乃是启示神显现于肉体——提前三15~16：
3
41 显现于肉体的神，不仅是子，乃是整个的神——父、子、灵。
4
52 整个的神，不仅是子神，成为肉体；因此，基督成为肉体就是整个的神显现于肉体：
5
6a 在基督成为肉体时期的职事里，祂把无限的神带到有限的人里面；在基督里，无限的神与有限的人成为——一约八58，七6，十二24。
6
7b 借着成为肉体，神圣的合并——神在祂的神圣三一里互相内在成为一而一同作工——被带到人性里；所以基督是三一神与三部分人的合并——十四10~11。
7
8二 话，就是神，成了肉体——一1、14：
8
91 “成了肉体〞（14），意即在人的样式和样子里——罗八3，腓二7~8。
9
102 基督是以人的形状显在人前，然而，祂乃是神显现于人——林后五16。
10
113 话所是的这位神，不是部分的神，乃是整个的神——子神、父神、灵神。
11
124 话是神的解释、说明和彰显；因此，那成为肉体的话——神显现于肉体——乃是神在肉体里的解释、说明和彰显——约一18。
12
13三 神格一切的丰满，都有形有体地居住在基督里面——西二9：
13
141 “神格一切的丰满”乃指整个的神格，指完整的神。
14
152 神格既包含父、子、灵，神格的丰满就必是父、子、灵的丰满。
15
163 神格一切的丰满，都有形有体地居住在基督里面，意思是说，三一神具体化身在祂里面——约十四10。
16
174 基督作为神格丰满的具体化身，不仅是神的儿子，也是整个的神。

18西二9 因为神格一切的丰满，都有形有体地居住在基督里面。
18Col. 2:9 For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.
19约十四10 我在父里面，父在我里面，你不信么？……
19John 14:10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me?...
20神的喜悦，神的心愿，是要得着许多儿子，作祂儿子的彰显，使祂在子里借着那灵彰显出来。为这目的，神已显明自己，首先在基督里—肉体里个别的彰显；然后在召会，基督的身体里—肉体里扩大团体的彰显；最终，在新耶路撒冷里—新天新地里终极完成的团体彰显。
20God’s good pleasure, God’s heart’s desire, is to have many sons for the expression of His Son so that He may be expressed in the Son through the Spirit. For this purpose, God has manifested Himself, first in Christ as an individual expression in the flesh and then in the church, the Body of Christ, as the enlarged corporate expression in the flesh. Ultimately, God will be manifested in the New Jerusalem as the consummated corporate expression in the new heaven and new earth.
21歌罗西二章九节……的“丰满”，不是指神的丰富，乃是指神丰富的彰显。那居住在基督里的，是神所是之丰富的彰显。我们需要看见，神格的丰满是神格的彰显，而这彰显是个别地在基督里面（新约总论第一册，一四九页）。
21In Colossians 2:9 “fullness” does not refer to the riches of God; instead, it refers to the expression of the riches of God. What dwells in Christ is the expression of the riches of what God is. We need to see that the fullness of the Godhead is the expression of the Godhead and that this expression is in Christ individually. (The Conclusion of the New Testament, p. 127)

22基督是神格丰满的具体化身。这就是说，三一神的丰满，有形有体地居住在基督里面。神格的丰满有形有体地居住在基督里面，这事实就是说，这丰满真实且实际的居住在祂里面。这含示基督在祂的人性里所穿上的肉身。这指明神格一切的丰满，都居住在这位有属人身体的基督里面。在祂成为肉体以前，神格一切的丰满，乃是居住在祂所是之永远的话（约一1）里面，并不是有形有体地居住在祂里面。在祂成为肉体以后，神格的丰满就开始有形有体地居住在祂里面。因此，祂是在肉体里神的显明，神个别的彰显。
22Christ is the embodiment of the fullness of the Godhead. This means that the fullness of the Triune God dwells in Christ in a bodily form. The fact that the fullness of the Godhead dwells in Christ bodily means that it dwells in Him in a way that is both real and practical. This implies the physical body which Christ put on in His humanity. It indicates that all the fullness of the Godhead dwells in Christ as the One who has a human body. Before His incarnation, the fullness of the Godhead dwelt in Him as the eternal Word, but it did not dwell in Him bodily. After He became incarnate, the fullness of the Godhead began to dwell in Him in a bodily way. Thus, He is the manifestation of God, the individual expression of God, in the flesh.
23约翰一章一节和十四节也启示，神显明在基督里，这是祂在肉体里个别的彰显。一节说，“太初有话，话与神同在，话就是神。”在十四节，这是神的话成了肉体。这是指成为肉体的基督。太初祂不仅与神同在，祂也就是神。成为肉体的基督，是神显现于肉体（提前三16）（新约总论第一册，一四九至一五○页）。
23John 1:1 and 14 also reveal that God was manifested in Christ as an individual expression in the flesh. Verse 1 says, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” In verse 14, this Word, which is God, became flesh. This refers to the incarnated Christ. In the beginning He was not only with God, but He is the very God. The incarnated Christ is God manifested in the flesh (1 Tim. 3:16).
24神显现于肉体，乃是神过人性的生活。……主耶稣是真实的、完全的人，以彰显完整的神。祂是神显现于肉体，使永远、无限、看不见、荣耀、无所不能、无所不知、无所不在的神，借着必死、有限、看得见、没有荣耀，在能力、知识、同在上都受限制的人，得着彰显。必死的与永远的相对，有限的与无限的相对，看得见的与看不见的相对，没有荣耀的与荣耀的相对。神是全能的、全知的并且无所不在，但人在能力、知识、同在上都受限制。
24God being manifested in the flesh is God living a human life...The Lord Jesus was a real, perfect man to express the complete God. He was God manifested in the flesh to express the eternal, infinite, invisible, glorious, omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent God through the mortal, finite, visible, inglorious man, limited in power, knowledge, and presence. Mortal is versus eternal, finite is versus infinite, visible is versus invisible, and inglorious is versus glorious. God is all-powerful, all-knowing, and present everywhere, but man is limited in power, knowledge, and presence.
25当主耶稣在地上时，祂一切的行事都彰显神圣的属性，作为祂人性的美德。祂美德的彰显就是神显现于肉体。就外面说，人看见祂是拿撒勒的耶稣，但祂乃是神显现于肉体。……主把东西整齐地留在坟墓里，这……是祂复活的见证（约二十7）。我们操练我们的灵，在复活里作事，这就是我们基督徒美德的展示。这些基督徒的美德乃是神圣属性的彰显，也是神在肉体里的显现。
25When the Lord Jesus was on the earth, He expressed the divine attributes as His human virtues in all His actions. That expression of His virtues was the manifestation of God in the flesh. Outwardly, people saw Him as Jesus from Nazareth, but He was God manifested in the flesh...When the Lord left the things in the tomb in good order, this was...a testimony of His resurrection (John 20:7). When we exercise our spirit and do things in resurrection, this is a display of our Christian virtues. These Christian virtues are expressions of the divine attributes and are the manifestation of God in the flesh.
26如果我们在复活里作事，许多美德就要显出来，这些美德乃是神圣属性的彰显。因此，我们所作的，就是将神显现于肉体。在召会生活里，应当有神显现于肉体。我们虽然在肉体里，却不该凭肉体活着。我们乃该在复活里并凭复活活着，使神在我们的生活里活着，使我们能在祂那作了我们美德的属性上成为祂，使祂得以显现（新约总论第十二册，二二○至二二一页）。
26If we do things in resurrection, many virtues will be exhibited, and those virtues will be the expression of the divine attributes. Thus, what we do will be a manifestation of God in the flesh. In the church life God should be manifested in the flesh. Even though we are in the flesh, we should not live by the flesh. We should live in and by resurrection so that God may live in our living, making us Him in His attributes as our virtues for His manifestation. (The Conclusion of the New Testament, pp. 127-128, 3663-3664)
