16基督所进入的这个荣耀是什么？就是神完满的彰显。当主在肉体里时，神遮藏在祂里面。……在这位有血有肉的拿撒勒人耶稣里面，有神神圣荣耀的种子。……当康乃馨种子落在地里死了，然后再生长起来，最后达到开花的阶段，康乃馨种子就被带进荣耀里去。耶稣就像这样一粒种子，落在地里死了，然后生长起来（约十二23~24）。借着祂的生长，祂的全人，包括祂的人性和属人的性情，都被带进神荣耀的彰显里。这就是祂的荣耀。这位主受了死的苦，经过了死河，进入了荣耀，就是进入那位神圣者完满的彰显里。……主在地上过了三十三年半的人生，应验了这个预表。耶稣过河，第一次是在祂受浸的时候，此后三年半，祂还是一直地过河。最终，祂在十字架上，过了那一道死河。祂经过这最终的一道河，就进入了荣耀。祂所进入的荣耀，乃是神的神圣所是彰显出来的实际。在祂复活之后，祂就是神荣耀的彰显。……祂是一个榜样，一个模型，因为祂是领先进入荣耀的，也是为我们铺路的。 16What is this glory into which Christ has entered? It is the full expression of God. When the Lord was in the flesh, God was concealed within Him…In Jesus, the Nazarene with blood and flesh, was the seed of God’s divine glory… When the carnation seed falls into the earth, dies, and grows again until it reaches the stage of blossoming, the carnation seed is brought into glory. Jesus was such a seed. He fell into the earth, died, and grew up (John 12:2324). By His growing up, His whole being, including His humanity and His human nature, was brought into the glorious expression of God. That was His glory. The Lord suffered death, crossing the river of death, and entered into the glory, into the full expression of the Divine Being…After living on earth for thirty-three and a half years, the Lord fulfilled the type. Jesus crossed the river. He first crossed the river at the time of His baptism. For three and a half years after His baptism, He was continually crossing rivers. Eventually, on the cross, He crossed the death river. By crossing that ultimate river, He entered into glory. The glory into which He entered is the reality of the expression of God’s divine being. After His resurrection He was God’s glorious expression… He is the example, the model, because He was the first One who pioneered into glory, the One who paved the way.
