4月9日 我见过他吗?
这事以后,门徒中间有两个人……耶稣变了形像向他们显现。(可十六12)
得救与看见耶稣,是两回事。许多人在神的恩上有分,却从未见过耶稣。但若见了耶稣,你就完全改观了,其他事物再不像往日那样吸引你。要时常分辨清楚,你看见的是耶稣本身,还是他为你成就的事。如果你只知道他为你做的事,那么你的神还未够伟大;要是你真看见耶稣本身,那么,纵使经历千变万化,你仍能坚定不移,“如同看见那不能看见的主”。那生来瞎眼的人,并不认识耶稣是谁,直等到主出现,又向他启示自己,他才恍然大悟。耶稣为谁行事,就为谁显现;只是我们不能规定他什么时候显现。他任何时刻都可能蓦然出现;“如今我看见他!”
耶稣不但向你显现,也向你的朋友显现:别人不能借着你的眼睛看见耶稣。一个人看见主,另一个没看见,隔膜就从此形成,除非神领你的朋友到他面前来。你见过耶稣吗?要是见过,你一定盼望别人也看见他。“他们就去告诉其余的门徒,其余的门徒也是不信。”即使他们不信,你仍要去传。
“啊,但愿我能告诉你,你一定会相信的!
啊,但愿我能说出我所见的!
我怎样说才好?你怎样才接纳?
怎么样?除非他带你去尝受我所经历的。”
祈祷◆噢,主啊,让我今天听见你荣耀的声音。噢,对我说话,以你振兴的大能,在我的心灵、思想和言语中,创造属你的安宁。

9 Have I Seen Him?
“After
that He appeared in another form unto two of them.” Mark 16:12
Being saved and seeing Jesus are not the
same thing. Many are partakers of God’s grace who have never seen Jesus. When
once you have seen Jesus, you can never be the same, other things do not appeal
as they used to do.
Always distinguish between what you see
Jesus to be, and what He has done for you. If you only know what He has done
for you, you have not a big enough God; but if you have had a vision of Jesus
as He is, experiences can come and go, you will endure “as seeing Him Who is
invisible.” The man blind from his birth did not know Who Jesus was until He
appeared and revealed Himself to him. Jesus appears to those for whom He has
done something; but we cannot dictate when He will come. Suddenly at any turn
He may come. “Now I see Him!”
Jesus must appear to your friend as well
as to you, no one can see Jesus with your eyes. Severance takes place where one
and not the other has seen Jesus. You cannot bring your friend unless God
brings him. Have you seen Jesus? Then you will want others to see Him too. “And
they went and told it unto the residue, neither believed they them.” You must
tell, although they do not believe.
“O could I tell, ye surely would believe
it!
O could I only say what I have seen!
How should I tell or how can ye receive
it,
How, till He bringeth you where I have
been?”
