10约一14 话成了肉体,支搭帐幕在我们中间,丰丰满满地有恩典,有实际。我们也见过祂的荣耀,正是从父而来独生子的荣耀。
10John 1:14 And the Word became flesh and tabernacled among us (and we beheld His glory, glory as of the only Begotten from the Father), full of grace and reality.
11提前一14 并且我们主的恩是格外增多,使我在基督耶稣里有信,又有爱。
111 Tim. 1:14 And the grace of our Lord superabounded with faith and love in Christ Jesus.
12如果没有神的恩典,我们没有人能在基督里有信和爱。我们能相信并且爱我们从来没有看见过的耶稣,这乃是奇迹。我们即使受到威胁和逼迫,以致殉道,仍然不能否认我们相信耶稣并且爱祂。这乃是格外增多之恩典的结果。一个罪人相信基督并且继续爱祂,这不是一件小事。许多聪慧的人,都被主格外增多的恩典说服、征服,至终被抓住了。达秘八十多岁时,有一天在旅馆过夜;睡前他说,“主耶稣,我爱你。”这故事几乎使我落泪。……爱耶稣乃是一个奇迹,爱耶稣乃是格外增多之恩典的神迹。
12If there were no grace of God, none of us could have faith and love in Christ. It is a wonder that we can believe in Jesus and love Him whom we have never seen. If we were threatened and persecuted unto martyrdom, we still could not deny that we believe in Jesus and love Him. This is a result of superabounding grace. It is not a small thing for a sinner to believe in Christ and to continue in loving Him. Many clever and wise people have been convinced, subdued, and eventually caught by the Lord’s superabounding grace. One day when John Nelson Darby was over eighty years old, he stayed overnight in a hotel. Before going to sleep, he said, “Lord Jesus, I still love You.” This story nearly brought me to tears…To love Jesus is a wonder. To love Jesus is a miracle of the superabounding grace.
13主那格外增多的恩典,叫使徒保罗在基督里有信,又有爱,使他得着大能并超绝的救恩,而得以成为最大的使徒之一(提前一14)。按照保罗在新约里的历史,他原是大数的扫罗,一个很强、很有知识并且反对耶稣的人。有一天他从反对转变成相信并爱耶稣。这是因为主的恩典格外增多地临到他,使他成为使徒。……使徒乃是由主格外增多的恩典所产生的(李常受文集一九九四至一九九七年第一册,五五一页)。
13The Lord’s grace superabounded with faith and love in Christ to the apostle Paul for his dynamic and excellent salvation that he might be one of the greatest apostles (1 Tim. 1:14). According to Paul’s history in the New Testament, he was Saul of Tarsus, a strong and very knowledgeable person opposing Jesus. One day he changed from opposing to believing and loving. This was because the grace of the Lord superabounded to him to make him an apostle…An apostle is produced by the superabounding grace of the Lord. (CWWL, 19941997, vol. 1, “Crystallization-study of the Epistle to the Romans,” p. 436)

14恩典的增多有两方面:就是在基督耶稣里有信,又有爱〔提前一14〕。保罗曾是大数的扫罗,原先与基督耶稣无分无关;他甚至对主满了仇恨。但有一天他从主领受了怜悯和恩典,不只相信了耶稣,并且还爱祂。……这是极大的怜悯,也是真实的恩典。只相信主耶稣是不够的,我们也必须爱祂。我确信我们都曾感谢神,因着祂的怜悯和恩典,使我们相信主耶稣。但我们曾否祷告说,“父啊,我何等感谢你,因着你的恩,我能爱主耶稣”?我们不仅需要信,我们也需要爱。
14Grace is abundant in two aspects: in faith and in love in Christ Jesus [1 Tim. 1:14]. Originally, Paul as Saul of Tarsus had nothing to do with Jesus Christ. He was even full of hatred toward the Lord. But one day he received mercy and grace from the Lord not only to believe in Jesus but also to love Him…This is the greatest mercy, and this is real grace. It is not enough just to believe in the Lord Jesus. We also must love Him. I am sure that we have all thanked God for His mercy and grace which have caused us to believe in the Lord Jesus. But have we ever prayed, “O Father, how I thank You that by Your grace I love the Lord Jesus”? Not only do we need faith but also love.
15整卷约翰福音给我们看见这两件事。我们在这卷福音书的头一部分,读到主耶稣(祂就是神自己)乃是太初就有的话。然后有一天祂成了肉体,成了一个人,住在我们中间,丰丰满满地有恩典,有实际。……在约翰福音里最重要的一个动词乃是“信”。话成了肉体,我们必须信入祂。信的意思就是接受。一章十二节说,“凡接受祂的,就是信入祂名的人,祂就赐他们权柄,成为神的儿女。”我们是借着接受而信,也借着信而接受。我们信神所给的,并且借着信接受祂所给的。
15The entire Gospel of John shows us these two things. In the first part of the Gospel, we read that the Lord Jesus, who was God Himself, was the Word in the beginning. Then one day He became incarnated as a man to tabernacle among us, full of grace and reality…One of the most important verbs in the Gospel of John is believe. The Word became flesh, and we must believe in Him. To believe simply means to receive. John 1:12 says, “As many as received Him, to them He gave the authority to become children of God, to those who believe into His name.” We believe by receiving, and we receive by believing. We believe what God has given, and by believing we receive what He gives.
16但还不止于此。在约翰福音,主说过信之后,又要我们爱祂。祂告诉我们:“爱我的必蒙我父爱他,我也要爱他,并且要亲自向他显现。……人若爱我,就必遵守我的话,我父也必爱他,并且我们要到他那里去,同他安排住处。”(十四21、23)在这里,主耶稣不是说“信我的”。信主是一回事,爱主是另一回事。信是接受,但爱是享受你所接受的。所以在最后一章,主三次问彼得说,“你爱我……么?”借此,主给彼得看见,他既接受了主,就必须学习借着爱主而享受主(李常受文集一九七二年第一册,三○三至三○四页)。
16But this is not all. In the Gospel of John, after speaking of believing, the Lord Jesus appealed for our love. He told us, “He who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will manifest Myself to him…If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word, and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make an abode with him” (14:21, 23). In these verses the Lord Jesus did not say, “He who believes in Me.” To believe in the Lord is one thing, but to love Him is another. To believe is to receive, but to love is to enjoy what you have received. So in the last chapter of John’s Gospel, the Lord asked Peter three times, “Do you love Me?” By this, the Lord was showing Peter that, as one who had received Him, he must learn to enjoy Him by loving Him. (CWWL, 1972, vol. 1, “Life and Building as Portrayed in the Song of Songs,” pp. 231-232)

今日要点
18主题:恩典就是基督作三一神具体化身的三方面,作我们的一切
18
19引经:约一14提前一14
19
201.恩典就是基督作三一神具体化身的所是:
20
21A.恩典就是奇妙的基督作三一神具体化身的三方面,包含祂之所是、祂之所给、祂之为我们所作,给我们享受,在第一方面,基督之所以能成为我们的一切,作为恩典给我们享受,乃是因着祂经过了过程,并终极完成为赐生命的灵,住在我们灵里,今天我们能经历恩典就是基督的所是,给我们经历并享受。
21
22B.在约一14指出,是话的神成了肉体,支搭帐幕在我们中间,丰丰满满的有恩典,有实际,17节接着说,律法是借着摩西赐的,而恩典乃是借着耶稣基督来的,恩典不是借着耶稣基督赐的,而是借着耶稣基督来的,这启示,当基督来到地上,恩典就来到地上,当基督进到我们里面,恩典就进到我们里面,作我们的经历并享受。
22
232.恩典就是基督作三一神具体化身的所给和所作:
23
24A.提前一14说到,『并且我们主的恩是格外增多,使我在基督耶稣里有信,又有爱』,这指出恩典就是祂之所给,如果没有神的恩典,我们没有人能够在基督里有信又有爱,恩典的增多,促使两方面的有,就是在基督耶稣里有信,又有爱,保罗自己得救之前对主满了仇恨,但有一天从主领受了怜悯和恩典,他不只信了耶稣,也爱祂到了极点。
24
25B.基督徒在前往目的地的海中,需要经历恩典,不是挪去礁石,而是让水涨高,提摩太在独自面对召会的败落光景时,需要的不是除去外面的许多问题,而是抓住机会经历恩典,我们所短缺的,正好给我们机会经历恩典,得着基督作恩典,应付我们的需要,让恩典这奇妙的基督在我们里面作一切。
25
26应用:许多信徒信了主,遭受逼迫甚至殉道,仍不否认相信并爱主的事实,乃是因着神在基督里作我们的恩典,所以我们若要有信又有爱,就需要祷告说,父啊,因着你的恩,我相信你,我爱你,使我也有恩典向人传扬福音,使人也经历你作恩典,把信作到人里面,使人相信并接受你,甚至宁舍世界,只要基督,作你疯狂的爱人。
