耶稣嘱咐他们说，人子还没有从死里复活，你们不要将所看见的告诉人。（可九9）
人子还未在你面前复活，什么都不要说——直到基督复活的生命完全掌管你，使你真正明白基督的教训。当你里面有真正的改变，耶稣所说的话就很清楚明白，以致你稀奇何以从前看不出来。你从前不明白，因为你的性情没有地方容纳他的话语。
主并没有隐藏这些事，只是我们属灵的生命未到一个合适的地步，所以承担不起这些事。“我还有好些事要告诉你们，但你们现在担当不了。”我们必须与主复活的生命有了连接，才能接受他的话。耶稣复活的生命如何流注，我们有所知闻吗？证明我们知道的证据就是：我们能够明白他的话。我们若没有神的灵，神是无法向我们启示什么的。刚硬的态度，足以阻碍神向我们显明真理。我们若对某一项教义坚持己见，神的亮光就不再照明，我们便无法得见。可是一旦他复活的生命支配我们，这愚顽不灵的光景，就会立即终止！
“不要告诉人……”但许多人都把山上变像的事实告诉人，他们见了异象，就大作见证；可是，灵命却未成熟，因人子还未在他们心里复活。他什么时候才成形在你我身上呢？
祈祷◆噢，主啊，愿你使我们变得柔和与温顺，被你所激励和振奋，求你提升我们进入与你荣耀相交的境地，以致我们可以捕捉你的形像。
April 7 Why Are We Not Told Plainly?
“He charged them that they should tell no man what things they had seen, till the Son of man were risen from the dead.” Mark 9:9
Say nothing until the Son of man is risen in you – until the life of the risen Christ so dominates you that you understand what the historic Christ taught. When you get to the right state on the inside, the word which Jesus has spoken is so plain that you are amazed you did not see it before. You could not understand it before, you were not in the place in disposition where it could be borne.
Our Lord does not hide these things; they are unbearable until we get into a fit condition of spiritual life. “I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.” There must be communion with His risen life before a particular word can be borne by us. Do we know anything about the impartation of the risen life of Jesus? The evidence that we do is that His word is becoming interpretable to us. God cannot reveal anything to us if we have not His Spirit. An obstinate outlook will effectually hinder God from revealing anything to us. If we have made up our minds about a doctrine, the light of God will come no more to us on that line, we cannot get it. This obtuse stage will end immediately “when” His resurrection life has its way with us.
“Tell no man . . ” – so many do tell what they saw on the mount of transfiguration. They have had the vision and they testify to it, but the life does not tally with it, the Son of man is not yet risen in them. I wonder when He is going to be formed in you and in me?
