约翰福音-John 20章 30~31节
| 20:30 |
耶稣在门徒面前，另外行了许多神迹，没有记在这书上。 Moreover indeed many other signs also Jesus did before His disciples, which are not written in this book. |
| 20:31 |
但记这些事，要叫你们信耶稣是基督，是神的儿子；并且叫你们信了，就可以在祂的名里得生命。 But these have been written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing, you may have life in His name. |
Enlightenment:
These verses indicate that the purpose of John’s Gospel is to testify that Jesus is the Christ (1:41; 4:25, 29; 7:41-42; Matt. 16:16; Luke 2:11) and the Son of God (1:34, 49; 9:35; 10:36; Matt. 16:16; Luke 1:35). Together with 21:25, these verses affirm that this Gospel is the record of a selection of things that serve the purpose of testifying to the matter of life and building.
The Christ is the title of the Lord according to His office, His mission. The Son of God is His title according to His Person. His Person is a matter of God’s life, and His mission is a matter of God’s work. He is the Son of God to be the Christ of God. He works for God by the life of God that men also, by believing in Him, may have God’s life to become God’s many sons and to work by God’s life to build the corporate Christ (1 Cor. 12:12), thus fulfilling God’s purpose of His eternal building.
亮光
这些经节指明，约翰福音的目的是要证明耶稣是基督，（约一41，四25，29，七41～42，太十六16，路二11，）也是神的儿子。（约一34，49，九35，十36，太十六16，路一35。）这些经节，连同二十一章二十五节，确定约翰福音选载了一些事，目的为见证生命和建造。
基督是照着主的职分和使命而有的称呼；神的儿子是祂照着祂的身位而有的称呼。祂的身位与神的生命有关，祂的使命与神的工作有关。祂是神的儿子，作了神的基督。祂凭着神的生命为神作工，使人因相信祂能得着神的生命，成为神的众子，也能凭着神的生命作工，建造团体的基督，（林前十二12，）因而成就神永远建造的定旨。
