8约一1 太初有话,话与神同在,话就是神。
8John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
951 又对他说,我实实在在地告诉你们,你们将要看见天开了,神的使者上去下来在人子身上。
951 And He said to him, Truly, truly, I say to you, You shall see heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.
10在约翰福音里的第一个结晶,神的话,是指神的独生子基督(一18),作神的解释、说明和彰显。……约翰揭示基督是那伟大的“我是”,是自有永有的(出三14~15约八242858)。在基督之外的一切,都是虚空的虚空。唯有祂是实际,就是那“我是”,那是一切者。……基督是永远的,无始无终的一位(来七3)。
10The Word of God, the first crystal in the Gospel of John, refers to Christ, the only begotten Son of God (1:18), as the definition, explanation, and expression of God. John unveils Christ as the great I Am, self-existing and ever-existing (Exo. 3:14-15; John 8:24, 28, 58). Everything other than Christ is vanity of vanities. Only He is the reality, the I Am, the One who is…Christ is the One who is eternal, without beginning or ending (Heb. 7:3).
11约翰一章是整卷约翰福音的引言,主要强调的乃是基督是神的话—那奥秘且看不见之神的解释、说明和彰显;其中说到基督在宇宙历史中五件最大的事上(李常受文集一九九四至一九九七年第四册,四二二页)。
11John 1 is the introduction to the whole Gospel of John, and the main stress of this introduction is that Christ is the Word of God—the definition, explanation, and expression of the mysterious and invisible God. It refers to Christ in the five greatest events in the history of the universe. (CWWL, 19941997, vol. 4, “Crystallization-study of the Gospel of John,” pp. 335-336)

12约翰一章一节指已过的永远,因为“太初”表明已过的永远。五十一节指将来的永远,因为当主告诉拿但业,他要看见天开了,神的使者上去下来在人子身上,祂不是说到现在,而是说到将来的永远。如果我们将这两段的永远摆在一起,我们就有了整个的永远。
12John 1:1 refers to eternity in the past, for the beginning denotes eternity in the past. Verse 51 refers to eternity in the future, for when the Lord told Nathanael that he would see heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man, He was not speaking about the present but about eternity in the future. If we put together these two sections of eternity, we have the whole of eternity.
13在已过的永远里,基督是话,与神同在,并且就是神。在已过的永远里,祂只是神,只有神性。因为话尚未成为肉体,祂还不是一个人,还没有人性。……在将来的永远里,基督不只是神,还是人。祂将不只是神子,还是人子。……在已过的永远里,祂是神,仅仅是神性的,没有人性。然而在将来的永远里,祂是神又是人,是神子又是人子,是神性的又是人性的,有神性又有人性。祂将有两种性情,两种素质和两种本质—神性和人性。
13In eternity past Christ, as the Word, was with God and was God. In eternity past He was only God and only had divinity. Since the Word had not yet been incarnated, He was not a man and had no humanity. In eternity future Christ will not only be God but also man. He will not only be the Son of God but also the Son of Man…In eternity past He was God, solely and merely divine, having no humanity. However, in eternity future He will be God and man, the Son of God and the Son of Man, both divine and human, having divinity as well as humanity. He will have two natures, two essences, and two substances— divinity and humanity.
14这位在已过的永远里没有人性的神,如何能在将来的永远里有人性作祂的居所?……在永远的这两段之间有时间的桥梁。在已过的永远里,神计划并且定意,但祂并没有作什么。在将来的永远里,神也不会作什么。……祂只要享受祂所完成的工作。在已过的永远里,祂计划;在将来的永远里,祂要享受。每一件神所需要完成的事,祂要在时间的桥梁上完成。神驾着祂经纶之车,从永远的第一段,经过了时间的桥梁,进入永远的后一段。借着驾驶祂的车越过时间的桥梁,所有必需的工作就完成了。一旦神从已过的永远,行过时间的桥梁,进入将来的永远,祂就要宣告说,“成了!”(约翰福音生命读经,六一至六二、六五页)
14How can God, who had no humanity in eternity past, have humanity in eternity future as His dwelling place?…Between these two sections of eternity is the bridge of time. In eternity past God planned and purposed, but He did not do anything. In eternity future God will not do anything…He will simply enjoy His finished work. In eternity past He planned, and in eternity future He will enjoy. Everything that God needs to accomplish He accomplishes on the bridge of time. God is “driving the car” of His economy from the first section of eternity, through the bridge of time, into the last section of eternity. By driving His car across the bridge of time, all the necessary work is completed. Once God has traveled from eternity past, through the bridge of time, and into eternity future, He will declare, “Finished!” (Life-study of John, 2nd ed., pp. 55-56, 58)
15我们可以用五个辞,来记住这五件历史的大事:创造、成肉体、羔羊、那灵和梯子。约翰一章开始于基督是话,结束于祂是梯子。基督是话,借着创造、成为肉体、成为羔羊、成为那灵并成为梯子而说话。要立起梯子,就需要有基础;基督作属天的梯子,其基础乃是神的家—伯特利。伯特利的实际就是召会,然后是基督的身体,和新耶路撒冷。
15We can remember these five great historical events with five words: creation, incarnation, Lamb, Spirit, and ladder. John 1 begins with Christ as the Word and ends with Him as the ladder. Christ as the Word speaks through the creation, through the incarnation, through His becoming the Lamb, through His becoming the Spirit, and through His being the ladder. In order to have a ladder, there is the need of a base, and the base for Christ to be the heavenly ladder is the house of God, Bethel. The reality of Bethel is the church and then the Body of Christ and the New Jerusalem.
16在这五件宇宙的历史事件上,神的话基督—作为:(一)在创造时的创造者;(二)在成为肉体时的人;(三)在救赎时的羔羊;(四)在变化时的那灵;(五)在把地联于天时的梯子—解释、说明并彰显那看不见的神(李常受文集一九九四至一九九七年第四册,四二五至四二六页)。
16In all these five universal, historical events, Christ, the Word of God— as (1) the Creator in creation, (2) the man in incarnation, (3) the Lamb in redemption, (4) the Spirit in transformation, (5) the ladder in joining earth to heaven—defines, explains, and expresses the invisible God. (CWWL, 19941997, vol. 4, “Crystallization-study of the Gospel of John,” pp. 337-338)

今日要点
18主题:基督是神的话,作为奥秘且看不见之神的解释、说明和彰显
18
19引经:约一1约一51
19
201.基督是神的话,作为奥秘且看不见之神的解释、说明和彰显:
20
21a.我们来到约翰福音中所启示之经历、享受、并彰显基督;约翰一章是整卷约翰福音的引言,主要强调的乃是基督是神的话,就是那奥秘且看不见之神的解释、说明与彰显,约一1说,『太初有话,话与神同在,话就是神』;基督作为神的话,乃是伟大的「我是」,是自有永有的,是永远、无始无终的那一位。
21
22B.约翰揭示基督是那伟大的『我是』,是自有永有的,在基督之外的一切,都是虚空的虚空,惟有祂是实际,就是那『我是』,那是一切者,基督是永远的,是无始无终的一位,而借着祂是神的话,就是那奥秘且看不见之神的解释、说明和彰显,其中说到基督在宇宙历史上五件最大的事上。
22
232.基督是联于永远的两端的桥梁,也是联于时间的桥梁:
23
24a.约翰一章所论到的基督,作为桥梁,联于永远的两端,祂在已过的永远里作为话,至终要在将来的永远里成为新耶路撒冷,这位基督并在于宇宙的历史中,创造、成为肉体、救赎、施膏、和建造这五件最大的事,就好像是神驾着祂经纶之车,从永远的第一段,经过了时间的桥梁,进入永远的后一段,完成祂的工作,使这位在已过的永远里没有人性的神,能在将来的永远里有人性作祂的居所。
24
25b.因此,约翰一章乃是「经过旅程的」三一神之历史的摘要,在这五件宇宙的历史事件上,神的话基督作为:一,在创造时的创造者,二,在成为肉体时的人,之搭帐幕在我们中间,三,在救赎时的羔羊,四,在变化时施膏的那灵,五,在为着神的建造把地联于天时的梯子,这样的一位基督,解释、说明并彰显那看不见的神。
25
26应用:我们每次来到话前,需要看待这些话就是基督自己,作为神的解释、说明和彰显,而从白字黑字的话,写成的话,进展为主对我们所说的话,也就是即时的话,而使我们摸着主,使我们明白神,而使我们成为祂人性的居所。
