【读圣经学英语】我在父里面,父在我里面

约翰福音-John 14 章 11~12 节

14:11 你们当信我,我在父里面,父在我里面;即或不然,也当因我所作的事而信。
Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me; but if not, believe because of the works themselves. 
14:12 我实实在在的告诉你们,我所作的事,信入我的人也要作,并且要作比这更大的事,因为我往父那里去。
Truly, truly, I say to you, He who believes into Me, the works which I do he shall do also; and greater than these he shall do because I am going to the Father.

Enlightenment:

The Son is in the Father and the Father is in the Son (vv. 10-11). What a mystery this is! The Lord says that the Son is in the Father and that the Father is in the Son! Since the Father is in the Son, when the Son speaks, the Father, who abides in the Son, does His work. The Father does His work in the Son’s speaking because They are in one another.

In 10:30 the Lord tells us clearly that He and the Father are one. Again I say, we cannot explain this matter adequately because it is very difficult for our limited mentality to understand how They two could be one. In our limited understanding, the Son is the Son, the Father is the Father, and the two are distinctly separate one from the other. But the Lord tells us clearly that the Son and the Father are one. Here I strongly say that the Lord never says that He and the Father are two. We have to take the mystery of the Trinity according to the Lord’s definite and clear word, not according to our suppositions.

Isaiah 9:6 reveals that the Son is even called the Father. This verse says, “Unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given…and his name shall be called…The mighty God, The everlasting Father.” A son is given, yet His name is called the everlasting Father, just as a child is born, yet He is called the mighty God. Is He the Son or the Father? We must say that He is both, just as He is both the child and the mighty God. How can the Son be the Father? I do not know. I know only that the Bible tells me so. Praise the Lord that the Bible tells us that the Son is called the Father, just as the Bible tells us that the child is called the mighty God. Therefore, according to the clear word of the Bible, the Son is the Father. None of us should be a Philip. But at that time even Philip was made clear.

 

亮光

  子在父里面,父在子里面。(约十四10~11。)这是何等的奥秘!主说,子在父里面,父在子里面!父既在子里面,当子说话的时候,住在子里面的父就作祂的工。父在子说话时作工,因为祂们在彼此里面。

 在十章三十节,主清楚的告诉我们,祂与父原是一。我再说,我们无法充分解释这事,因为我们有限的头脑很难领会,祂们二者如何能是一个。在我们有限的领会中,子就是子,父就是父,二者显然是彼此分开的。但主清楚的告诉我们,子与父原是一。这里我很强的说,主从未说祂与父是两个。我们接受三一神的奥秘,必须按着主明确清楚的话,不可按着我们的假设。

 以赛亚九章六节启示,子甚至称为父:『因有一婴孩为我们而生,有一子赐给我们;…祂名称为…全能的神,永在的父。』有一子赐下来,祂的名却称为永在的父;正如有一婴孩生下来,却称为全能的神。祂是子还是父?我们必须说祂两者都是,正如祂是婴孩,又是全能的神。子如何能是父?我不知道,我只晓得圣经这样告诉我。赞美主,圣经告诉我们子称为父,正如圣经告诉我们婴孩称为全能的神。所以,按照圣经的明言,子就是父。
