【读圣经学英语】必要得着生命的光

约翰福音-John 8 章 11~16节

8:11	她说，主啊，没有。耶稣说，我也不定你的罪；去吧，从今以后不要再犯罪了。 And she said, No one, Lord. And Jesus said, Neither do I condemn you; go, and from now on sin no more.
8:12	于是耶稣又对众人讲论说，我是世界的光，跟从我的，就绝不在黑暗里行，必要得着生命的光。 Again therefore Jesus spoke to them, saying, I am the light of the world; he who follows Me shall by no means walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
8:13	法利赛人就对祂说，你是为自己作见证，你的见证不真。 The Pharisees then said to Him, You are testifying concerning Yourself; Your testimony is not true.
8:14	耶稣回答他们说，我就是为自己作见证，我的见证还是真的，因我晓得我从那里来，往那里去，你们却不晓得我从那里来，往那里去。 Jesus answered and said to them, Even if I testify concerning Myself, My testimony is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from or where I am going.
8:15	你们是凭肉体判断人，我不判断任何人。 You judge according to the flesh; I judge no one.
8:16	我就是判断，我的判断也是真的，因为我并不单独，还有差我来的父与我同在。 But even if I do judge, My judgment is true, for I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent Me.

亮光

主耶稣如何释放我们脱离罪？乃是藉着进入我们里面作生命的光。这光并不是在我们外面，乃是在我们里面。当我们接受了主，祂就进入我们里面作我们的生命。这内住的生命现今在我们里面照耀，这就是光。这内住生命的照耀，逐渐且自然的释放我们。得释放脱离罪的辖制不是一夜之间的事，这需要时间。虽然你可以在一秒之间被点活，但从罪得自由却不是这么简单。

在我五十年追求主的基督徒年日中，没有一件事比脾气更困扰我。要从脾气得释放是何其困难！我从经历中能见证，自从主耶稣进入我里面，祂就成了我的生命。这生命不断在我里面照耀。耶稣越在我里面照耀，我就越从我的脾气得释放。有时我发了脾气，这光就厉害的照耀我。你岂不也有过同样的经历？你向妻子发脾气，光便照耀你。不信的人越发脾气，就越有可发的。然而，我们有追求的基督徒发起脾气时，却发现越来越没有可发的。有时弟兄或姊妹要发脾气，里面的照耀就阻止他。在他里面有个东西照耀他，杀死蛇的性情。经过了五十年的经历，我能说现在很难叫我发脾气了。因为五十年来属天的激光线，一直消杀我脾气的蛇性。

激光线是用来治疗某些疾病的。病人坐在激光线下，它能注入他里面。我们里面有属天的激光线，这种激光线消杀蛇的性情。这就是生命的光，释放我们脱离罪的奴役。

Enlightenment:

How does the Lord Jesus set us free from sin? He does it by coming into us as the light of life. This light is not outside of us; it is in us. When we received the Lord, He entered into us as our life. This indwelling life now shines within us. That is light. Gradually and spontaneously, this shining of the indwelling life sets us free. To be set free from the bondage of sin is not an overnight matter; it takes time. Although you may be enlivened in one second, it is not so simple to be freed from sin.

During the fifty years that I have been a seeking Christian, nothing has bothered me more than my temper. How difficult it is to be freed from our temper! From my experience I can testify that since the day the Lord Jesus came into me He has been my life. This life has been shining within me continually. The more Jesus shines within me, the more I am set free from my temper. Sometimes when I was losing my temper, this light shone strongly. Have you not experienced this as well? While you are losing your temper at your wife, the light shines. The more unbelievers lose their temper, the more temper they have to lose. However, when we, the seeking Christians, begin to lose our temper, we find that we have less and less temper to lose. Sometimes a brother or sister is stopped by the inward shining while he is losing his temper. Something inward shines over him, killing the serpentine nature. After fifty years of experience, I can say that now it is difficult for me to lose my temper. For fifty years the heavenly radium has been killing the serpentine nature of temper.

Radium treatment is given for certain diseases. The patient sits under the radium, and its rays are transfused into him. We have a heavenly radium within us, and this radium kills the serpentine nature. This is the light of life which sets us free from the slavery of sin.
