10五十年前，当日本侵略中国时，我被日军监禁过，我曾这样经历过基督。他们一面羞辱我，审判我，拷问我。另一面他们尊敬我，敬重我，因为我行事为人像一个基督徒。保罗在腓立比书里说，当他在罗马坐监时，他所专切期待并盼望的，就是没有一事会叫他羞愧，他只要显大基督（一20）。保罗显大基督到一个地步，甚至在该撒家中的一些人也成了在基督里的信徒（四22）。在保罗的经历中，他有基督作冠冕。我们应当以身为基督徒为荣。当我们失败时我们觉得羞惭，但是当我们悔改并重新接受分赐的基督时，我们就感觉荣耀（以赛亚书生命读经，三七六至三七七页）。
10I experienced Christ in this way about fifty years ago when Japan invaded China and I was imprisoned by the Japanese army. On the one hand, they shamed me, judged me, and tortured me. On the other hand, they respected and regarded me because I behaved as a Christian. Paul said in the book of Philippians, while he was imprisoned in Rome, that he had the earnest expectation and hope not to be put to shame but to magnify Christ (1:20). Paul magnified Christ to such an extent that even some in Caesar’s household became believers in Christ (4:22). In Paul’s experience, he had Christ as a crown with a diadem. We should feel glorious that we are Christians. When we are defeated, we feel ashamed, but when we repent and receive the dispensing Christ in a fresh way, we feel glorious. (Life-study of Isaiah, p. 301)
