4月2日 无比的荣耀

耶稣打发我来，叫你能看见。（徒九17）

保罗恢复视力后，他属灵的眼睛就注目在耶稣基督身上，他此后的生活和传道，就只以耶稣基督为中心——“我在你们中间，不知道别的，只知道耶稣基督，并他钉十字架。” 除了耶稣基督的荣面，保罗的心思意念绝不诱于任何事物，受其操纵。我们藉着耶稣基督所启示的亮光，学习在主里保持毫无玷污。

一个属灵人不变的特征，就是把主耶稣基督的人格，转化为自己的人格，然后将神的旨意传达与别人。他人生中所专注爱恋的，就是耶稣基督。每当你碰到一个人有这样的素质，你就知道他是合神心意的。不要让任何事物转移你对耶稣基督的注意力，这是属灵的考验。所谓不属灵，就是其他事物对你的吸引与日俱增。

“自我定睛注视耶稣， 尘世一切，视若无睹， 我灵注视不移， 定睛被钉的主。”

祈祷◆噢，主，我的神、我的力量、我的盼望和我的喜乐，纵然是缓慢，但我似乎肯定可以逐渐更清晰地辨认你。求你在今天将人世间所制造的云雾驱散。

April 2 The Glory That Excels

“The Lord . . . hath sent me that thou mightest receive thy sight.” Acts 9:17

When Paul received his sight, he received spiritually an insight into the Person of Jesus Christ, and the whole of his subsequent life and preaching was nothing but Jesus Christ – “I determined not to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ, and Him crucified.” No attraction was ever allowed to hold the mind and soul of Paul save the face of Jesus Christ.

We have to learn to maintain an unimpaired state of character up to the last notch revealed in the vision of Jesus Christ.

The abiding characteristic of a spiritual man is the interpretation of the Lord Jesus Christ to himself, and the interpretation to others of the purposes of God. The one concentrated passion of the life is Jesus Christ. Whenever you meet this note in a man, you feel he is a man after God’s own heart.

Never allow anything to deflect you from insight into Jesus Christ. It is the test of whether you are spiritual or not. To be unspiritual means that other things have a growing fascination for you.

“Since mine eyes have looked on Jesus,
I’ve lost sight of all beside,
So enchained my spirit’s vision,
Gazing on the Crucified.”
