【读圣经学英语】公义的父

约翰福音-John 17章 25 节

17:25 公义的父啊,世人未曾认识你,我却认识你,这些人也知道你差了我来。
Righteous Father, though the world has not known You, yet I have known You, and these have known that You have sent Me.

Enlightenment:

 The world neither knows the Father nor wants to know Him, but the Son and the Son’s believers do. The Father is righteous in loving the Son and His believers, giving His glory both to the Son and to His believers. In sanctifying the Son’s believers, the Father is holy (v. 11), and in loving the Son and His believers and giving the Son and His believers His glory, the Father is righteous. The Father will reveal nothing regarding life to the worldly people because they do not know the Father. However, the Father has revealed everything concerning life to the Lord Jesus and to His believers because the Lord and His believers know the Father. Hence, the Father is righteous in His discernment, for by His righteous judgment He reveals to us the matters of life. God is righteous in this matter.

亮光

世人不认识父,也不要认识父,但子和信子的人认识父,也要认识祂。父在对子及其信徒的爱上显为义,将祂的荣耀赐给子和信子的人。父圣别信子的人,显示祂是圣的。(约十七11。)父爱子和信子的人,将祂的荣耀赐给子和信祂的人,显示祂是义的。父并不把关于生命的事启示给世人,因为他们不认识父。然而,父却把关于生命的一切事启示给主耶稣和祂的信徒,因为主和祂的信徒认识父。因此,父在祂的辨别上,是义的;因为藉着祂公义的审断,祂把生命的事启示我们。在这事上,神是义的。
