6基督这三一神具体化身的分赐,首先是在神的救赎里。(约十二24,十九34。)神救赎的中心点和目标,不仅是救我们脱离我们的罪和罪的定罪(永远的沉沦),更是要释放,就是分赐祂自己这神圣的生命,进到祂所救赎的人里面。约翰十二章二十四节说到基督在祂的成为肉体里,成了一粒麦子,落在地里死了。麦粒里面有生命,照样,在基督肉身的体壳里,也有神圣的生命。祂在地上在肉体里时,祂里面的神圣生命隐藏在祂属人身体的外壳里。祂到十字架上受死,这属人身体的外壳就破裂了,神圣的生命就释放出来,而产生了许多子粒。这就是把神圣的生命释放到这些子粒里面。约翰十九章三十四节也说,基督在十字架上受死的时候,有两种元素-血和水-从祂肋旁流出来。血是为著救赎,水是为著释放神圣的生命。因此,基督救赎的死成了释放生命的死。
6This dispensing of Christ as the embodiment of the Triune God is first in God's redemption (John 12:24; 19:34). The central point, the goal, of God's redemption is not merely to redeem us from our sins and from the condemnation of sin (eternal perdition), but to release, that is, to dispense, God Himself as the divine life into His redeemed ones. John 12:24 says that Christ in His incarnation as a grain of wheat fell into the ground and died. Just as there is life in a grain of wheat, within the human shell of Christ's physical body there was the divine life. When He was on earth in the flesh, the divine life within Him was concealed in the shell of His human body. He went to the cross and died, and the death of the cross broke this human shell and released the divine life to produce many grains. This is to release the divine life into all these grains. Also, John 19:34 says that when Christ died on the cross, two elements, blood and water, flowed out of Him. Blood is for redemption, and water is for the releasing of the divine life. Thus, the redeeming death of Christ becomes the life-releasing death.
