7彼前一13 ……全然寄望于耶稣基督显现的时候,所带给你们的恩。
71 Pet. 1:13 …Set your hope perfectly on the grace being brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
8提后一9~10 神救了我们,以圣召召了我们,……乃是按祂自己的定旨和恩典;这恩典是历世之前,在基督耶稣里赐给我们的,但如今借着我们救主基督耶稣的显现,才显明出来。祂已经把死废掉,……将生命……照耀出来。
82 Tim. 1:9-10 Who has saved us and called us with a holy calling… according to His own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before the times of the ages but now has been manifested through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who nullified death and brought life…
9彼前一章十三节说到信徒所全然寄望于的恩典。几乎每一天我都祷告,盼望我的魂在主回来时能得救。……这是在来世魂的得救,使那些进去享受主快乐的人,与祂一同坐席〔太二五20~23〕。这恩典要在主耶稣第二次来临显现时来到。这是旧约众申言者所考察过,以及我们新约信徒所寄望于的。为着这恩典感谢主(李常受文集一九九四至一九九七年第一册,五八○至五八一页)。
9First Peter 1:13 speaks of the grace on which the believers set their hope perfectly. Nearly every day, I pray that my soul will be saved at the Lord’s coming back…This is the saving of the soul in the next age for those who enter into the enjoyment of the Lord to feast with Him [Matt. 25:20-23]. This grace will come by the revelation of the Lord Jesus at His second coming. It was studied by the prophets in the Old Testament and is hoped for by us, the New Testament believers. Thank the Lord for such a grace. (CWWL, 1994-1997, vol. 1, “Crystallization-study of the Epistle to the Romans,” pp. 458-459)
10恩典乃是神在祂生命里所给我们的供应,使我们活出祂的定旨〔提后一9~10〕。……神的恩典是在永远里赐给我们的,但借着我们的主第一次来,把死废掉,将生命带给我们(来九26),这恩典就显明出来,并应用到我们身上。……所命定要赐给我们的恩典,随着主耶稣的显现而来。这恩典不仅仅是一个福分,更是一个人位,就是三一神自己赐给我们,作我们的享受。主耶稣显现时,这恩典就来了,现今与我们同在(新约总论第十二册,二三三至二三四页)。
10Grace is God’s provision in life given to us so that we may live out His purpose [2 Tim. 1:9-10]…God’s grace was given to us in eternity, but it was manifested and applied to us through our Lord’s first coming, in which He nullified death and brought life to us (Heb. 9:26)…The grace destined to be given to us came with the appearing of the Lord Jesus. This grace is not merely a blessing; it is a person, the Triune God Himself given to us to be our enjoyment. This grace came when the Lord Jesus appeared, and now it is with us today. (Conclusion of the New Testament, pp. 3675-3676)

Today’s Reading
11在彼前一章十三节彼得也嘱咐我们要全然寄望于恩典。这盼望指由重生所得活的盼望(3)。我们需要将我们活的盼望全然置于耶稣基督显现的时候,所带给我们的恩。这恩必定不仅仅是指不当得的好处;乃是指魂的救恩(5、9~10),是神完全救恩的完成。恩典在主第一次来临时已经带给我们(约一17),这恩典要完成于主的再来。我们当寄望于这样的恩典。
11In 1 Peter 1:13 Peter…charges us to set our hope perfectly on the grace. This hope is the living hope obtained through regeneration (v. 3). We need to set our living hope perfectly on the grace that is being brought to us at the revelation of Jesus Christ. Surely this grace is not merely unmerited favor. It refers to the salvation of the soul (vv. 5, 9-10), which will be the consummation of God’s full salvation. Grace was brought to us by the Lord’s first coming (John 1:17). It will be consummated by His second coming. On such grace we should set our hope.
12比较说来,今天我们所享受的主是一小部分。在圣经里这称为预尝,还不是全享。今世是预尝的世代;但主耶稣回来时,我们就要全享。我们享受预尝的时候,就寄望于要来的全享。……要来的全享将是这独一恩典的完成。
12Whatever we enjoy of the Lord today is, comparatively speaking, a small portion. In the Bible this is called the foretaste; it is not yet the full taste. This age is an age of foretaste. But when the Lord Jesus comes back, we will enjoy the full taste. While we are enjoying the foretaste, we set our hope on the coming full taste…The coming full taste will be the consummation of this unique grace.
13在彼前一章十三节末了,彼得说到耶稣基督的显现。……现今,我们乃是在幔子之下享受主耶稣作预尝。但时候将到,幔子要被除去。
13Toward the end of 1 Peter 1:13 Peter speaks of the revelation, [the unveiling] of Jesus Christ…At present, we are enjoying the Lord Jesus as a foretaste under the veil. But the time is coming when the veil will be taken away.
14因为我们同主在幔子之下,别人也许不能领会我们在作什么。我们也许想要告诉他们,我们在享受基督。然而,他们也许说,这是无稽之谈。我们的享受是隐藏的,没有同样经历的人无法知道这事。但有一天主耶稣要显现。那时别人就能领会我们一直在享受主耶稣。这显现将是要来的恩典,作三一神完全救恩的完成。
14Because we are under a veil with the Lord, others may not be able to understand what we are doing. We may try to tell them that we are enjoying Christ. However, they may say that this is nonsense. Our enjoyment is concealed, and others who do not share the same experience cannot know anything about it. But one day the Lord Jesus will be revealed. Then others will be able to understand that we have been enjoying the Lord Jesus. This revelation will be the coming grace as the consummation of the full salvation of the Triune God.
15我们若没有享受主耶稣作预尝, 就不会盼望祂显现作我们的全享。……我们享受预尝,就有这样的盼望。我们需要全然寄望于耶稣基督显现的时候,所带给我们的恩(彼得前书生命读经,一○六至一○八页)。
15If we are not enjoying the Lord Jesus as the foretaste, we will not have the hope that He will be revealed as our full taste…When we enjoy the foretaste, we have such a hope. We need to set our hope perfectly on the grace being brought to us at the revelation, the unveiling, of Jesus Christ. (Life-study of 1 Peter, pp. 89-90)

今日要点
17主题:借著成为敞开的器皿,经历信徒所全然寄望的恩典
17
181.信徒在受苦中应当寄望基督作恩典:
18
19A.彼得写书信的背景,乃是散居的犹太信徒遭遇逼迫,他们可能寄望神拯救他们脱离难处,然而,彼得在彼前一13说,『...全然寄望于耶稣基督显现的时候,所带给你们的恩』,按照上下文,他们该寄望的,不是他们要脱离当前难处的恩,而是借着新约申言者所启示,那来世魂的得救,作为神完全救恩的完成,使那些进去享受主快乐的人,与主一同坐席。
19
20B.所以,彼得在这段经文向他们启示,他们要经历的恩典,乃是「信徒所全然寄望的恩典」,我们重生时就得着了活的盼望,我们需要将我们活的盼望全然置于耶稣基督显现的时候,恩典第一次来临时已经带给我们,这恩典要完成于主的再来,我们今天所享受的恩,是一小部分,在圣经中称为预尝,还不是全享,今世在预尝的时候,就要寄望于那日的全享。
20
212.借着寄望于主这恩典,直到主的回来:
21
22A.提后一9~10说,『神救了我们,以圣召召了我们,...乃是按祂自己的定旨和恩典,这恩典是历世之前,在基督耶稣里赐给我们的,但如今借着我们救主基督耶稣的显现,才显明出来。祂已经把死废掉,...将生命...照耀出来』,这恩典乃是神在祂生命里所给我们的供应,使我们活出祂的定旨,神的恩典是在永远里,就是在世界起始之前就已经赐给我们,但借着主第一次的来,把死废掉,将生命带给我们,这恩典就显明出来,并应用在我们身上。
22
23B.所以,信徒经历基督作恩典,始于提后一9~10,所启示的,并达到彼前一13,耶稣基督显现,就是主第二次来的时候,因此,这恩典不仅仅是一个福分,更是一个人位,就是三一神自己赐给我们,作我们的享受。
23
24应用:日复一日,我们应当作敞开的器皿,一直接受恩典,并且全然、完全的寄望于这恩典,不要在乎别人的看法,因为别人无法领会我们在作什么,只管在环境中不断转向主,接受祂作为恩典,享受基督的供应,经历祂在环境中与我们同在。
