第二篇
可稱頌之神榮耀的福音
詩歌：764
讀經：提前一11，徒七2、55，林後四3 ～ 4、6，約十二31
【週一】
壹 榮耀是神的一個屬性；榮耀是神的彰顯，就是輝煌的彰顯出來的神—出四十34，徒七55，彼後一3，啓二一11。
貳 神的榮耀與神的經綸有內在的關係—弗一6、10、12、14，三21，五27：
一 三一神乃是榮耀的神—徒七2，弗一17，三14、16，林前二8，林後四6，彼前四14。
二 人是神按着祂的形像造的，爲要使人在祂的榮耀裏彰顯祂—創一26，西一15，林後四4、6。
三 神造我們作爲貴重、豫備得榮耀的器皿；我們蒙祂主宰的豫定，作祂的器皿以彰顯祂在榮耀裏的所是—羅九21、23。
四 神藉着基督榮耀的福音，已經用祂永遠的榮耀，呼召我們進入祂永遠的榮耀裏—林後四4，提前一11，帖前二12，彼前五10，彼後一3。
【週二】
叁 『這世代的神弄瞎了他們這不信者的心思，叫基督榮耀之福音的光照，不照亮他們；基督本是神的像』—林後四4：
一 這世代的神指那迷惑者撒但，現今世代的管轄者—約十二31，十四30，十六11，弗二2：
1 魔鬼撒但不僅有他的國，也有他的宗教；他不僅是這世界的王，也是這世代的神—太十二26，約十二31，林後四4。
2 『這世界的王』，是說撒但是管治世人的；『這世代的神』，是說撒但今天是受世人敬拜的—約十二31，林後四4。
3 今天幾乎所有的人，不論是原始的或是有高尚文化的，都被這世代的神弄瞎了心思—4 節。
二 如果我們放下自己的觀念，將我們的心轉向主，帕子就除去了，這世代的神在我們裏面就沒有任何地位，神榮耀的福音就要照在我們心裏—4、6 節。
【週三】
肆 神的榮耀與基督的成肉體、經人生、釘死、復活、升天、再來有關：
一 話成了肉體，祂神性的榮耀遮藏在祂人性的體殼裏，門徒們卻見過祂的榮耀—約一14，太十七2。
二 主耶穌在祂的生活和工作上，不尋求自己的榮耀，乃尋求差祂來者的榮耀—約七18，八50、54。
三 基督神性的榮耀，乃是藉着祂的死，使祂人性的外殼得以破裂，而釋放出來—十二23 ～ 24。
四 基督藉着祂的復活而得榮耀—路二四26，約七39，十七5，徒三13，彼前一21。
五 基督在祂的升天裏得着榮耀；主耶穌是『過河』進入神榮耀之人的模型，祂在神的榮耀裏得了榮耀尊貴爲冠冕—來二9 ～ 10，六19 ～ 20，九24。
六 主作爲人子要在父的榮耀裏來臨—太十六27，路二一27。
七 在永世的新耶路撒冷裏，基督，就是那是燈的羔羊，憑着是光的神照耀，用神的榮耀，就是神聖之光的彰顯，照亮新耶路撒冷—啓二一11、23，二二5。
【週四】
伍 基督是神的像，是神榮耀的光輝；因此，基督的福音，就是祂的榮耀照明並照耀的福音—西一15，來一3，林後四3 ～ 4，啓六2：
一 基督榮耀的福音，就是可稱頌之神榮耀的福音—提前一11：
1 『可稱頌之神榮耀的福音』這個發表，是指提前一章四節所說神的經綸。
2 那託付與使徒保羅的福音，乃是可稱頌之神榮耀的光輝—來一3，羅一25，九5。
3 這福音在基督裏，將神的生命和性情分賜到神所揀選的人裏面，藉此照出神的榮耀，使神在這榮耀裏，在祂子民當中得着稱頌—林後一3，弗一3、6、12、14。
二 福音乃是基督榮耀的福音，照明、照射並照耀在我們心裏—林後四4、6：
1 神照在我們心裏，結果光照人，使人認識那顯在耶穌基督面上之神的榮耀，也就是照亮我們，使我們在基督的福音裏認識神的榮耀—4、6 節。
【週五】
2 在林後四章四節裏，神、像、基督、榮耀、福音和光照都是同位語，指同一位美妙的人位；神是像，像是基督，基督是榮耀，榮耀是福音，福音是光照。
3 光照人，乃是使人認識那顯在耶穌基督面上之神的榮耀；這指明基督榮耀的福音乃是一個可愛的人位，在祂的面上我們能看見神的榮耀—4、6 節，太十七2。
4 顯在耶穌基督面上之神的榮耀，就是耶穌基督（祂是神榮耀的光輝）所彰顯那榮耀的神；認識祂，也就是認識那榮耀的神—徒七2，來一3。
【週六】
陸 神照在我們心裏，爲叫我們光照別人，使他們認識那顯在耶穌基督面上之神的榮耀，也就是認識那彰顯神並表明神的基督—腓二15，約一18：
一 基督榮耀的福音首先照在我們裏面，然後從我們裏面照耀出去—太五16。
二 在我們傳福音時，該有一種光照；我們需要從我們裏面照耀基督榮耀的福音—腓二15。
三 我們傳揚基督榮耀的福音時，不該傳自己，乃該傳基督耶穌爲主，祂是福音的內容—林後四5。
四 那些藉着我們的光照而接受基督榮耀之福音的人，要得着基督作爲分賜到他們裏面的珍寶；這樣，他們就會和我們一樣，成爲盛裝這無價寶貝的瓦器—4、6 ～ 7 節。

The Gospel of the Glory of the Blessed God
Hymns: 948
Scripture Reading: 1 Tim. 1:11; Acts 7:2, 55; 2 Cor. 4:3-4, 6; John 12:31
§ Day 1
I.
Glory is an attribute of God; glory is the expression of God, God
expressed in splendor—Exo. 40:34; Acts 7:55; 2 Pet. 1:3; Rev. 21:11.
II. The glory of God is intrinsically related to the economy of God—Eph. 1:6, 10, 12, 14; 3:21; 5:27:
A. The Triune God is a God of glory—Acts 7:2; Eph. 1:17; 3:14, 16; 1 Cor. 2:8; 2 Cor. 4:6; 1 Pet. 4:14.
B. Man was created by God in His image in order that man would express Him in glory—Gen. 1:26; Col. 1:15; 2 Cor. 4:4, 6.

God created us as vessels unto honor, prepared unto glory; we were
predestinated in His sovereignty to be His vessels to express what He is
in glory—Rom. 9:21, 23.
D. Through the gospel of the glory of Christ, God has called us by and into His eternal glory—2 Cor. 4:4; 1 Tim. 1:11; 1 Thes. 2:12; 1 Pet. 5:10; 2 Pet. 1:3.
§ Day 2
III.
"The god of this age has blinded the thoughts of the unbelievers that
the illumination of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image
of God, might not shine on them"—2 Cor. 4:4:
A. The god of this age is Satan, the deceiver, the ruler of the present age— John 12:31; 14:30; 16:11; Eph. 2:2:
1.
In addition to his kingdom, Satan, the devil, has his own religion; he
is not merely the ruler of this world but also the god of this age—Matt.
12:26; John 12:31; 2 Cor. 4:4.
2.
The ruler of this world refers to Satans rule over people; the god of
this age refers to the worship that he receives from people today—John
12:31; 2 Cor. 4:4.
3. Nearly all people today, whether primitive or highly cultured, have been blinded by the god of this age—v. 4.
B.
If we drop our concepts and turn our heart to the Lord, the veils will
be taken away, the god of this age will have no ground in our being, and
the gospel of the glory of God will shine in our hearts—vv. 4, 6.
§ Day 3
IV. The glory of God is involved with Christs incarnation, human living, crucifixion, resurrection, ascension, and coming again:
A.
The Word became flesh, and the glory of His divinity was concealed
within the shell of His humanity, yet the disciples beheld His
glory—John 1:14; Matt. 17:2.
B. In His life and work the Lord Jesus did not seek His own glory but the glory of the One who sent Him—John 7:18; 8:50, 54.
C. The glory of Christs divinity was released through the breaking of the shell of His humanity by His death—12:23-24.
D. Christ was glorified by His resurrection—Luke 24:26; John 7:39; 17:5; Acts 3:13; 1 Pet. 1:21.
E.
Christ was glorified in His ascension; the Lord Jesus is a model of a
person who has "crossed the river" and entered into Gods glory, where He
is crowned with glory and honor—Heb. 2:9-10; 6:19-20; 9:24.
F. The Lord as the Son of Man will come in the glory of the Father—Matt. 16:27; Luke 21:27.
G.
In the New Jerusalem for eternity, Christ, the Lamb as the lamp, will
shine with God as the light to illuminate the New Jerusalem with the
glory of God, which glory is the expression of the divine light—Rev.
21:11, 23; 22:5.
§ Day 4
V.
Christ is the image of God and the effulgence of His glory; hence, the
gospel of Christ is the gospel of His glory that illuminates and shines
forth—Col. 1:15; Heb. 1:3; 2 Cor. 4:3- 4; Rev. 6:2:
A. The gospel of the glory of Christ is the gospel of the glory of the blessed God—1 Tim. 1:11:
1. The expression the gospel of the glory of the blessed God refers to Gods economy in 1 Timothy 1:4.
2.
The gospel with which the apostle Paul was entrusted is the effulgence
of the glory of the blessed God—Heb. 1:3; Rom. 1:25; 9:5.
3. By dispensing Gods life and nature in Christ into Gods chosen people, this
gospel shines forth Gods glory, in which God is blessed among His people—2 Cor. 1:3; Eph. 1:3, 6, 12, 14.
B. The gospel is the gospel of the glory of Christ, which illuminates, radiates, and shines in our hearts—2 Cor. 4:4, 6:
1.
Gods shining in our hearts results in the illumination of the knowledge
of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ, that is, in the
enlightenment that causes us to know the glory of God in the gospel of
Christ—vv. 4, 6.
§ Day 5
2.
In 2 Corinthians 4:4 God, image, Christ, glory, gospel, and
illumination are all in apposition, referring to the same wonderful
person; God is the image, the image is Christ, Christ is the glory, the
glory is the gospel, and the gospel is the illumination.
3.
The illumination of the knowledge of the glory of God is in the face of
Jesus Christ; this means that the gospel of the glory of Christ is a
lovely person in whose face we can see the glory of God—vv. 4, 6; Matt.
17:2.
4.
The glory of God manifested in the face of Jesus Christ is the God of
glory expressed through Jesus Christ, who is the effulgence of the glory
of God; to know Him is to know the God of glory—Acts 7:2; Heb. 1:3.
§ Day 6
VI.
God shines in our hearts that we may shine on others so that they may
have the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ—the
knowledge of Christ, who expresses and declares God—Phil. 2:15; John
1:18:
A. The gospel of the glory of Christ shines into us, and then it shines out from within us—Matt. 5:16.
B. In our preaching of the gospel, there should be an illumination; we need to shine forth the gospel of the glory of Christ from within us—Phil. 2:15.
C.
In proclaiming the gospel of the glory of Christ, we should not preach
ourselves but Christ Jesus as Lord, who is the content of the gospel—2
Cor. 4:5.
D. Those who receive the gospel of the glory of Christ through our shining will have Christ as the precious treasure dispensed into them; then, like us, they will be earthen vessels containing this priceless treasure—vv. 4, 6-7.
