16约翰十四章二十一和二十三节给我们看见,子向爱祂的人显现,以及父与子同来,同爱子的人安排住处。那灵住在我们里面之后,子就亲自向爱祂的人显现。一个人有可能是耶稣基督的信徒,却不是爱祂的人。当我们信祂的时候,神圣三一的三者就都来住在我们里面。但是在我们信祂,并且祂如今住在我们里面之后,我们就需要爱祂。在二十一和二十三节里,我们看见主要我们爱祂。我们或许是基督的信徒,但在我们中间有多少人是爱耶稣的人?父这标的是在耶稣这化身里;这化身乃是在灵作祂的实化里,而这实化就是如今住在我们众人里面的那灵。但我们需要问:我们是否每日每时享受主耶稣向我们的显现?(李文集一九八八年第一册,四一七至四一八页)。
16Verses 21 and 23 of John 14 show the Son manifesting Himself to His lover and the Father coming with Him to make an abode with the Son’s lover. After the abiding of the Spirit in us, the Son will manifest Himself to His lovers. It is possible to be a believer of Jesus Christ but not be a lover of Him. When we believe in Him, the three of the Divine Trinity come to abide in us. But after we believe in Him and know that He is abiding in us, we need to love Him. In verses 21 and 23 we see the request of our love toward Him. We may be the believers of Christ, but how many among us are the lovers of Jesus? The Father as the object is in Jesus as the embodiment, this embodiment is in the Spirit as His realization, and this realization is the very Spirit who is now abiding in all of us. But we need to ask whether or not we enjoy the manifestation of the Lord Jesus to us daily and even hourly. (CWWL, 1988, vol. 1, “Living in and with the Divine Trinity,” pp. 303-304)
