5约一1 太初有话,话与神同在,话就是神。
5John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
614 话成了肉体,支搭帐幕在我们中间,丰丰满满的有恩典,有实际。我们也见过祂的荣耀,正是从父而来独生子的荣耀。
614 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.
7以弗所书是讲基督的奥秘,就是召会—身体(三4);〔歌罗西书〕是讲神的奥秘,就是基督—头〔二2〕。我们要认识基督不仅是我们的救主和主,也是神的奥秘。
7The book of Ephesians is on the mystery of Christ, which is the church, the Body (3:4). Colossians is on the mystery of God, which is Christ, the Head [2:2]. It is crucial that we know Christ not only as our Savior and Lord but also as the mystery of God.
8所有的基督徒都爱主耶稣。……我们爱主有多少,在于我们认识祂有多少,以及我们对祂的体验有多少。……我们越认识主耶稣,越珍赏祂,我们就越爱祂。因此,我们需要往前认识主耶稣不仅是救主和主,也是神的奥秘(歌罗西书生命读经,一七八页)。
8All Christians love the Lord Jesus…How much we love the Lord depends on how much we know Him and how much we realize concerning Him…The more we know the Lord Jesus and appreciate Him, the more we will love Him. Hence, we need to go on to know the Lord Jesus not only as our Savior and Lord but also as the mystery of God. (Life-study of Colossians, p. 145)

9我们若要认识基督是神的奥秘,就需要对歌罗西二章二节所说的每一件事都有充分的经历。保罗在这一节说,“要叫他们的心得安慰,在爱里结合一起,以致丰丰富富地在悟性上有充分的确信,能以完全认识神的奥秘,就是基督。”“以致”的意思是“结果就是”。如果歌罗西人的心受安慰,并在爱里结合一起,结果就是他们丰丰富富地在悟性上有充分的确信;这悟性无疑是与神的奥秘—基督—有关的。
9If we would know Christ as the mystery of God, we need to have the full experience of everything covered in Colossians 2:2. In this verse Paul says, “That their hearts may be comforted, they being knit together in love and unto all the riches of the full assurance of understanding, unto the full knowledge of the mystery of God, Christ.” The word unto means “resulting in.” If the hearts of the Colossians were comforted and knit together in love, the result would be all the riches of the full assurance of understanding, an understanding no doubt related to the mystery of God, Christ.
10我们若不操练灵,就不能接触主,也无法认识祂是神的奥秘。……人的每一面—灵、魂、体—都是复杂的。若是你花一点时间照照镜子,你就会希奇你这肉身的复杂。……我们的魂里有心思、情感和意志。不仅如此,我们灵里有良心、直觉和交通。我们必须操练我们这个复杂之人的每一部分,好接受基督是神的奥秘的启示。
10We cannot contact the Lord or know Him as God’s mystery without exercising our spirit…Every aspect of man’s being—spirit, soul, and body— is complicated. If you spend time examining your face in a mirror, you will be impressed with the complexity of your physical body…In our soul we have the mind, the emotion, and the will. Furthermore, in our spirit we have the conscience, the intuition, and the fellowship. Every part of our complex being must be exercised to receive the revelation of Christ as the mystery of God.
11神自己是一个奥秘,基督是这奥秘的奥秘。我们若只是读圣经的字句,当然不能测度这样的奥秘。因着基督住在我们灵里,我们就需要操练我们的灵,好认识祂是神的奥秘。绝不要认为基督仅仅是一个可以用外面的方式来认识的对象。祂是被钉十字架又复活的一位,今天活在诸天之上的宝座上,也活在我们的灵里。因此,我们操练灵来接触祂,是极为重要的。这意思是说,我们必须从全人的最深处向祂敞开,并且呼求祂。我们的灵是全人的最深处,深过我们的心,深过魂的各部分。因此,操练我们的灵就是敞开我们全人的最深处,呼求主耶稣的名,并接触祂这活在我们里面的一位。
11God Himself is a mystery, and Christ is the mystery of this mystery. Surely we cannot fathom such a mystery simply by reading the letter of the Scriptures. Since Christ dwells in our spirit, we need to exercise our spirit in order to know Him as the mystery of God. Never regard Christ as a mere object to be known in an outward way. As the crucified and resurrected One, He is living both on the throne in the heavens and in our spirit as well. Hence, it is of utmost importance that we exercise our spirit to contact Him. This means that we must open up from the depths of our being and call on Him. Our spirit is our deepest part, deeper than the heart and all the parts of the soul. Therefore, to exercise our spirit is to open the deepest part of our being to call on the name of the Lord Jesus and to contact Him as the living One within us.
12我们要认识祂,就不只要操练我们的灵,也要叫我们的心得安慰。这意思是说,我们的心要受顾惜、得温暖。再者,我们的心思必须清明自守,我们的情感必须受规律,我们的意志也要降服。我们里面的每一部分都必须正确且正常地尽功用。这就是保罗提到完全认识基督是神的奥秘时,说到心要得安慰的原因。……我们若要在认识基督是神的奥秘上,丰丰富富地在悟性上有充分的确信,我们全人的每一部分就都必须受操练。
12To know Him, we must not only exercise our spirit but also have our heart comforted. This means that our heart must be cherished, warmed. Moreover, our mind must be sober, our emotion must be regulated, and our will must be subdued. Every part of our inner being must be proper and function in a normal way. This is the reason Paul speaks of the hearts being comforted in relation to having the full knowledge of Christ as the mystery of God. If we would have all the riches of the full assurance of understanding concerning Christ as the mystery of God, every part of our being must be exercised.
13我们都该能说,“主耶稣,离了你,我对什么都没有兴趣。主,我的心思、意志和情感都绝对为着你。……我愿意为你舍命。……主啊,我全人每一个细胞都是为着你的。”你若是这样操练你的全人,你就会在悟性上有充分的确信(歌罗西书生命读经,一七八至一八○、一八二至一八三页)。
13We should be able to say, “Lord Jesus, apart from You I have no heart for anything. Lord, my mind, will, and emotion are absolutely for You… I am willing to lay down my life for You…Every fiber of my being, Lord, is for You.” If you exercise your whole being in this way, you will have the full assurance of understanding. (Life-study of Colossians, pp. 145-146, 148-149)

今日要点
15主题:借着心得安慰,在爱里结合,而完全认识基督作为神的奥秘
15
16引经:约一1约一14
16
171.认识神的奥秘基督的条件:
17
18A.所有基督徒都爱主耶稣,我们爱主有多少,在于我们认识祂、珍赏祂有多少,以及我们对祂的经历有多少,因此我们不仅要认识基督是救主和主,也是神的奥秘,我们若要认识基督是神的奥秘,就需要对西二2所说的每一件事都有充分的认识与经历,这一节说,『要叫他们的心得安慰,在爱里结合一起,以致...能以完全认识神的奥秘,就是基督』。
18
19B.基督作为神的奥秘,不是我们光用头脑就能明白的,我们要认识基督作为神的奥秘,不仅需要操练灵,也需要我们的心得安慰,若不操练灵,就不能认识,我们灵里有良心、直觉和交通,使我们能接受这奥秘的启示,我们也需要心得安慰,这意思是,我们的心要得顾惜、得温暖,心思要清明自守,情感要受规律,意志也要降服。
19
202.基督作为神的奥秘,乃是神的解释、说明和彰显:
20
21A.神是个奥秘,基督是这奥秘的奥秘,约一1说,『太初有话,话与神同在,话就是神』,14节接着说,『话成了肉体,支搭帐幕在我们中间,丰丰满满的有恩典,有实际。我们也见过祂的荣耀,正是从父而来独生子的荣耀』,这位包罗万有、延展无限的基督,作为神的奥秘,乃是神的解释、说明和彰显。
21
22B.我们若是指读圣经的字句,当然不能测度这样的奥秘,因着基督住在我们灵里,我们就需要操练我们的灵,好认识祂是神的奥秘,将神解释、说明和彰显在我们里面,当我们这样操练我们的全人,特别操练灵,我们就会在悟性上有充分的确信,而使我们能够经历、享受基督,甚至彰显基督作神的奥秘。
22
23应用:我们都该操练灵,并跟主说,『主耶稣,离了你,我对什么都没有兴趣。主,我的心思、意志和情感都绝对为着你。 』借此操练我们的全人,我们就会在悟性上有充分的确信,能够认识并经历基督作为神的奥秘。
