属天的王受试验（三）

THE HEAVENLY KING BEING TESTED (3)
1肆、受法利赛门徒和希律党人的试验
1Iv. By The Disciples Of The Pharisees And
The Herodians
2主耶稣受祭司长和民间长老关于祂权柄来源的察验之后，法利赛门徒同希律党人问祂关于纳税给该撒的事。（太二二15～。）希律党的人袒护希律王的政权，协助他把希腊、罗马的生活方式渗透到犹太人中间。平常他们站在撒都该人一边，与法利赛人敌对。但在这里，他们却与法利赛人联合，陷害主耶稣。
2After the Lord Jesus had been examined by the chief priests and the elders of the people concerning the source of His authority, the disciples of the Pharisees with the Herodians questioned Him about giving tribute to Caesar (22:15-22). The Hero dians were 22 those who took sides with King Herod’s regime and took part with him in injecting Grecian and Roman manners of life into the Jewish culture. Normally they sided with the Sadducees, but were opposed to the Pharisees; here they united with the Pharisees to ensnare the Lord Jesus.
3希律党人反对法利赛人，因为法利赛人非常保守；而希律党人很摩登，与在思想上也很摩登的撒都该人站在一起。然而，在这场合中，希律党人却与法利赛人共谋陷害主耶稣。他们期望祂落入他们的陷阱。在十七节他们对主说，『请告诉我们，你怎么看，纳税给该撒，可以不可以?』这问题实在是个陷阱。当时犹太人都反对纳税给该撒。主若说可以这样作，就会得罪所有以法利赛人为首的犹太人；祂若说不可以，就会叫支持罗马政府的希律党人，得著有力的根据控告祂。纳税给该撒对犹太人是非常不愉快的事；他们恨恶这个。法利赛人尤其反对这事。然而，希律党人却同意纳税给罗马政府。因此，两派中有一派反对，另一派赞成。照著他们的观念，不论主耶稣如何回答他们的问题，祂都会落入他们的陷阱。
3The Herodians opposed the Pharisees because the Pharisees were very conservative, whereas the Herodians were modern, standing with the Sadducees who also were modernistic in their thinking. However, on this occasion the Herodians and Pharisees conspired to trap the Lord Jesus. They expected Him to fall into their snare. In verse 17 they said to the Lord, “Tell us therefore, What do you think? Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?” This is really an ensnaring question. All the Jews opposed giving tribute to Caesar. If the Lord Jesus had said that it was lawful to do this, He would have offended all the Jews who followed the Pharisees. But if He said that it was not lawful, this would have given the Herodians, who stood with the Roman government, strong ground to accuse Him. The matter of paying tribute to Caesar was very unpleasant to the Jews; they hated it. The Pharisees were especially against it. However, the Herodians agreed with paying tax to the Roman government. Thus, one of the two parties opposed this matter, and the other favored it. According to their concept, no matter how the Lord answered their question, He would still fall into their snare
4然而，主耶稣是智慧的，祂知道如何应付各种人和各种局面。在十九节祂说，『拿一个上税的钱给我看。』他们就拿一个银币给祂。主耶稣没有拿出罗马钱币，却叫他们拿一个给祂看。他们持有罗马钱币，所以被主捉到了。因著有罗马钱币，他们就已经输了。
4The Lord Jesus, however, is wise and know show to handle every person and every situation. In verse 19 He said, “Show Me the tribute money.” Then they brought to Him a denarius. The Lord did not show the Roman coin, but asked them to show one to Him. Since they possessed one of the Roman coins, they were caught. By having a Roman coin, they had lost the case already.
5二十、二十一节说，『耶稣说，这像和这号是谁的？他们说，是该撒的。耶稣说，这样，把该撒的物归给该撒，把神的物归给神。』把该撒的物归给该撒，这是按该撒政府的规定，纳税给该撒。把神的物归给神，这是按出埃及三十章十一至十六节，将半舍客勒银子纳给神，并按神的律法，将所有的十分之一献给神。犹太人在两种权柄之下，就是在罗马政治的权柄以及神属灵的权柄之下。在耶路撒冷不仅有罗马政府，还有神的殿。因这缘故，犹太人必须纳税给两种制度，给罗马政府，也给神的殿。所以主告诉他们，把该撒的物归给该撒，把神的物归给神。这回答震惊了法利赛人和希律党人，并且他们被打败了。
5Verses 20 and 21 say, “And He says to them, Whose is this image and inscription? They say, Caesar’s. Then He says to them, Pay then what is Caesar’s to Caesar, and what is God’s to God.” To pay Caesar what is Caesar’si stop ay tribute to Caesar according to his governmental regulations. To pay to God what is God’si stop ay the half shekel to God according to Exodus 30:11-16, and to offer all the tithes to God according to the law of God. The Jews were under two authorities, the political authority of Rome and the spiritual authority of God. In Jerusalem there was not only the Roman government, but also the temple of God. For this reason, the Jewish people had to pay tax to both systems, to the Roman government and to God’s temple. There fore, the Lord told them to pay to Caesar what is Caesar’sand to God what is God’s. This answer shocked the Pharisees and the Herodians, and they were defeated.
伍 、受撒都该人的试验
V. BY THE SADDUCEES
6在二十二章二十三至三十三节，我们看见主在撒都该人手中受试验。撒都该人是古代的摩登派，不相信有天使或复活。（徒二三8。）他们就像今天不相信圣经、天使或神迹的摩登派和高等批判者。这些古代摩登派的人来问主关于复活的事。他们似乎很聪明。他们告诉主有一个嫁过七个兄弟的妇人，并且问祂说，『在复活的时候，她是这七人中那一个的妻子？因为全都娶过她。』（太二二28。）从人的观点说，这是困难的问题。毫无疑问，法利赛人，古代的基要派，会发觉这问题很难回答。然而，主耶稣给撒都该人有力的回答。
6In 22:23-33 we see the Lord’ste st at the hands of the Sadducees. The Sadducees were ancient modernists who did not believe in angels or in resurrection (Acts 23:8). They were exactly like the modernists and higher critics of today who do not believe in the Scriptures, in angels, or in miracles. These ancient modernists came to the Lord with a question regarding the resurrection. It seemed that they were quite clever. They told the Lord of a woman who had married seven brothers and asked Him, “In the resurrection, therefore, of which of the seven will she be the wife? For they all had her” (v. 28). From the human point of view, this was a difficult question. No doubt the Pharisees, the ancient fundamentalists, would have found it hard to answer. The Lord Jesus, however, gave the Sadducees a strong answer
7二十九节说，『耶稣回答他们说，你们错了，因为不明白圣经，也不晓得神的大能。』明白圣经是一回事，晓得神的大能是另一回事。二者我们都需要。这里的圣经是指旧约关于复活的经文，神的大能是指复活的大能。主回答撒都该人时作了四件事：首先，祂定罪他们；其次，祂责备他们；第三，祂教导他们；第四，祂笼住他们的口。祂定罪他们，告诉他们说，他们受了欺骗。每个摩登派的人都受了欺骗。为此，他们需要被定罪。今天的摩登派否认复活、天使和神迹，因此他们必须被定罪。我年轻时，这样的教训在中国传布。例如，摩登派说，红海的水没有分开，百姓也没有走干地。他们宣称红海的浅水被大风吹开了，这使百姓能行在陆上。这真是鬼魔的教训！古代的摩登派就像今天的摩登派，自以为聪明，但事实上他们受了欺骗。因此，主责备他们说，他们不明白圣经，也不晓得神的大能。
7Verse 29 says, “But Jesus answered and said to them, You are deceived, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God.” Knowing the Scriptures is one thing, and knowing the power of God is another. We need to know both. The Scriptures here refer to the verses of the Old Testament concerning the matter of resurrection, and the power of God refers to the power of resurrection. In His answer to the Sadducees, the Lord did four things: firstly, He condemned them; secondly, He rebuked them; thirdly, He taught them; and fourthly, He muzzled them. He condemned them by telling them that they were deceived. Every modernist has been deceived. For this, they need to be condemned. Today’s modernists must be condemned for denying the resurrection, angels, and miracles. When I was young, such teachings were spreading in China. For example, the modernists said that the water of the Red Sea was not divided and that the people did not cross over on dry land. They claimed that the shallow water of these a was blown apart by a strong wind and that this enabled the people to walk on land. What a demonic teaching! The ancient modernists, like those of today, thought they were so clever, but actually they were deceived. Therefore, the Lord rebuked them by saying that they did not know the Scriptures or the power of God.
8主定罪并责备撒都该人之后，就教导他们。在三十节祂说，『在复活的时候，人也不娶也不嫁，乃像天上的使者一样。』这就是说，在复活里没有男，没有女。因此，没有嫁娶。这将因著神的大能发生。那些否认复活的人不晓得神的大能。
8After the Lord condemned and rebuked the Sadducees, He taught them. In verse 30 He said, “For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are as angels of God in heaven.” This means that in resurrection there will be no male or female. Hence, there will be no marriage. This will take place by the power of God. Those who deny the resurrection do not know the power of God
9为了帮助撒都该人明白圣经话语中所含示真理的深奥，主就说，『关于死人复活，神向你们所说的，你们没有念过么？祂说，「我是亚伯拉罕的神，以撒的神，雅各的神。」神并不是死人的神，乃是活人的神。』神既是活人的神，且称为亚伯拉罕、以撒、雅各的神，这三个已死的人就必要复活。这是主耶稣解经的方法－不是单凭字句，乃是凭字句中所含的生命和大能。
9In order to help the Sadducees know the depth of truth implied in the words of the Scriptures, the Lord said, “But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read that which was spoken to you by God, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? He is not the God of the dead, but of the living.” Since God is the God of the living and is called the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, these three who have died will be resurrected. This is the way the Lord Jesus handled the Scriptures—not only by the letter, but by the life and power implied within them
10我很欣赏主对圣经的解释。祂说神是亚伯拉罕、以撒、雅各的神。若没有要来的复活，那么神就必须是死人的神。神是活人的神，祂是亚伯拉罕、以撒、雅各的神，这事实证明亚伯拉罕、以撒、雅各都必复活。他们若不复活，那么神怎能是活人的神？这是对圣经真正的、诚实的、活的、可靠的说明。主给撒都该人这样的回答，就笼住了他们的口。
10I appreciate the Lord’s interpretation of the Bible. He said that God was the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. If there were no resurrection to come, then God would have to be the God of the dead. The fact that God is the God of the living and that He is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob proves that Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob will be resurrected. If they are not to be resurrected, then how could God be the God of the living? This is the genuine, honest, living, trustworthy exposition of the Bible. By giving the Sadducees such an answer, the Lord muzzled them
陆 、受法利赛人之律法师的试验
VI. BY A LAWYER OF THE PHARISEES
11法利赛人知道主笼住了撒都该人的口，就聚集商议下一步的行动。然后他们中间有一个律法师，试诱主，问祂关于律法上最大的诫命这个问题。律法师是精通摩西律法的人，是解释旧约律法的专家。主说，全心、全魂并全心思爱主，是最大的，且是第一条诫命。（太二二37～38。）然后祂继续说，『其次也相仿：「要爱邻舍如同自己。」一切律法和申言者的教训都系于这两条诫命。』这两条诫命，不论爱神或爱人，都是爱的问题。爱是神诫命的灵。
11When the Pharisees learned that the Lord had silenced the Sadducees, they held a council about what to do next. Then one of them, a lawyer, tempted the Lord by asking Him a question about the great commandment in the law. A lawyer was one versed in the law of Moses, a professional interpreter of the law of the Old Testament. The Lord said that the great and first commandment was to love the Lord with all our heart, soul, and mind (vv. 37-38). Then He continued, “And the second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.” These two commandments are both a matter of love, either loving God or loving man. Love is the spirit of God’s commandments.
12在这一切试验里，主耶稣被问到四件事：宗教、政冶、信仰和律法。关于宗教，祂被问到在宗教活动里权柄的来源。关于政治，祂被问到纳税给罗马政府。关于信仰，祂被问到对复活的信仰。关于律法，祂被问到那一条诫命最大。那些从这四个方向试验主耶稣之人的口都被笼住了，再也无话可说。
12In all these tests the Lord Jesus was questioned regarding four things: religion, politics, belief, and the law. Regarding religion, He was questioned concerning the source of authority in religious activities. Regarding politics, He was asked about paying tribute to the Roman government. Regarding belief, He was questioned about the belief in the resurrection. Regarding the law, He was asked which was the great commandment. From all four directions those who tested the Lord Jesus were muzzled and had nothing more to say
柒 、用问中之问笼住所有试验者的口
VII. Muzzling All The Testers By The Question Of Questions
13主耶稣被询问之后，就问法利赛人一个问题。四十一、四十二节说，『法利赛人聚集的时候，耶稣问他们说，论到基督，你们怎么看?祂是谁的子孙?』从二十一章二十三节至二十二章四十六节，基督末次上犹太教的中心耶路撒冷时，被祭司长、长老、法利赛人、希律党人、撒都该人和律法师所包围。他们竭力用难解、诡诈的问题陷害祂。首先，代表犹太宗教权柄的祭司长，和代表犹太人权柄的长老，问祂关于权柄的问题。（太二一23。）这是根据他们宗教的观念而有的问题。其次，基要派的法利赛人和热心政冶的希律党人，问祂关于政治的问题。第三，摩登派的撒都该人，问祂关于基本信仰的问题。第四，自以为是的律法师，问祂关于律法的问题。祂用智慧回答了他们一切的问题后，就问他们一个关于基督的问题。这是问中之问。他们的问题牵涉到宗教、政治、信仰和律法；祂的问题乃是关于基督，祂是万有的中心。他们懂得宗教、政治、信仰和律法，却忽略了基督。因此主问他们：『论到基督，你们怎么看？这问中之问，每个人都必须答覆。
13After He had been questioned, the Lord had a question for the Pharisees. Verses 41 and 42 say, “Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus questioned them, saying, What do you think concerning the Christ? Whose Son is He?” From 21:23 to 22:46, during His last visit to Jerusalem, the center of Judaism, Christ was surrounded by the chief priests, elders, Pharisees, Herodians, Sadducees, and a lawyer, who endeavored to ensnare Him by asking puzzling and crafty questions. Firstly, the chief priests, representing the authority of the Jewish religion, and the elders, representing the authority of the Jewish people, asked Him concerning His authority (21:23). This was a question according to their religious concept. Secondly, the fundamental Pharisees and political Herodians asked Him a question related to politics. Thirdly, the modernistic Sadducees questioned Him concerning the fundamental belief. Fourthly, a self- qualified lawyer asked Him a question concerning the law. After answering all their questions wisely, He asked them a question concerning Christ. This is the question of questions. Their questions were related to religion, politics, belief, and the law. His question was concerning Christ, who is the center of all things. They knew religion, politics, belief, and the law, but they paid no attention to Christ. Hence, He asked them, “What do you think concerning the Christ?” This question of questions must be answered by everyone.
14今天人有许多问题，但所有的问题都可归为宗教、政治、信仰和律法这四类。正如古时一样，今天人关心这些事，却不关心基督。他们对祂简直毫无概念。但神所关心的是基督，基督所关心的是祂自己。因此祂问说，『论到基督，你们怎么看？祂是谁的子孙？』这个问题摸著基督的身位，这是一个奥秘，是宇宙中最难解的问题。
14People today have many questions, but all their questions can be classified into the four categories of religion, politics, belief, and the law. Just as in ancient times, people today care for these things, not for Christ. They simply have no concept concerning Him. But God’s concern is for Christ, and Christ’s concern is for Himself. Hence He asks, “What do you think about Christ? Whose Son is He?” This question touches Christ’s Person, which is a mystery, the most perplexing matter in the universe
15基督论是对基督身位的研究。从第二世纪起，基督教教师就一直为基督论彼此相争。今天我们和反对者的争战也与这事有关。例如，一个带头的反对者教导说，基督不在我们里面，只是由圣灵代表祂在我们里面。照他所说，基督在三层天上神的右边，圣灵代表祂在我们里面。这种观念与三神论有关，三神论是以神格三者为分开之个体的教训。那些人教导说，基督仅仅由圣灵代表在我们里面，实际上他们有三位神。许多基要派的基督徒在里面深处，在潜意识中有这种观念。最近，有些反对者说，基督的神性在信徒里面，但祂的人性在天上。真荒唐！现在有些人不仅有三位神，还有两位基督，一位物质的基督和一位属灵的基督。这些怪异的观念是来自我们堕落的心思。将基督的神性和他的人性分开，是何等可怕的事！这例证说明关于基督的问题，仍是今天的问中之问。
15Christology is the study of the Person of Christ. From the second century onward, Christian teachers have been fighting with one another concerning Christology. Today the battle between us and the opposers is also related to this matter. For example, one of the leading opposers teaches that Christ is not in us, but is merely represented in us by the Holy Spirit. According to him, Christ is at the right hand of God in the third heaven, and the Holy Spirit represents Him in us. This concept is related to tritheism, the teaching that the three of the Godhead are separate individuals. Those who teach that Christ is merely represented in us by the Holy Spirit actually have three Gods. Deep within, many fundamental Christians subconsciously have this concept. Recently, some opposers have said that Christ’s divinity is in the believers, but His humanity is in heaven. How ridiculous! Now some not only have three Gods, but two Christs, a material Christ and a spiritual Christ. Such peculiar concepts are the issue of our fallen mentality. What a dreadful thing to separate Christ’s humanity from His divinity! This illustrates the fact that the question regarding Christ is still the question of questions today
16主问法利赛人这问题时，他们回答说，基督是大卫的子孙。（太二二42。）毫无疑问，照著圣经，这回答是正确的。然后主说，『这样，大卫在灵里怎么还称祂为主，说，「主对我主说，你坐在我的右边，等我把你的仇敌，放在你的脚下?」大卫既称祂为主，祂怎么又是大卫的子孙?』（太二二43～45。）这里的问题是，曾祖父怎能称曾孙为主？这是法利赛人不知如何回答的一个问题。基督是神，在祂的神性里，祂是大卫的主；基督也是人，在祂的人性里，祂是大卫的子孙。关于基督的身位，法利赛人只有一半的圣经知识，只知道主按著祂的人性，是大卫的子孙。他们缺少另一半的知识，就是基督按著祂的神性，是神的儿子。四十三节题到灵，指明我们只有在灵里，藉著神的启示，才能认识基督。（弗三5。）
16When the Pharisees were asked this question by the Lord, they replied that Christ was David’ss on (v. 42). No doubt, according to the Scriptures, this answer was correct. Then the Lord said, “How then does David in spirit call Him Lord, saying, The Lord said to My Lord, Sit on My right hand until I put Your enemies underneath Your feet? If then David calls Him Lord, how is He his Son?” vv. 43-45). The question here is how a great- grandfather could call his great-grandson Lord. This was one question the Pharisees did not know how to answer. As God, in His divinity, Christ is the Lord of David; as a man, in His humanity, He is the Son of David. The Pharisees had only half the scriptural knowledge concerning Christ’s Person, that He was the Son of David according to His humanity. They did not have the other half, concerning Christ’s divinity as the Son of God. The mention of the spirit in verse 43 indicates that Christ is only known by us in our spirit through God’sr evelation (Eph. 3:5, Gk
17四十六节说『他们没有人能回答祂一句话；从那一天，再也没有任何人敢问祂甚么了。』基督以关于祂奇妙的身位，这问中之问，笼住了所有反对者的口。法利赛人读过旧约，他们也清楚看见基督将是大卫的子孙。但他们没有看见基督也是神的儿子。
17Verse 46 says, “And no one was able to answer Him a word, nor did anyone from that day dare to question Him any more.” Christ’s question of questions concerning His wonderful Person muzzled the mouths of all His opposers. The Pharisees had studied the Old Testament, and they had seen clearly that Christ was to be the Son of David. But they did not see that Christ was also the Son of God
18甚至那些承认基督是神的儿子，又是大卫子孙的人，也争辩祂的两种性情是分开的，还是调和的。我们不该争辩基督的身位，我们该说，『阿利路亚，我们有一个荣耀且奥秘的人位！祂太奇妙了，我们无法充分领会祂。』看看以赛亚九章六节：『因有一婴孩为我们而生，有一子赐给我们...祂名称为奇妙、策士、全能的神、永在的父、和平的君。』我们需要用永世来领略这一节。基督是婴孩，但祂是全能的神。祂是子，但祂称为永在的父。不要以为我们今天能充分领会基督。不，祂太奇妙了，还过于我们所能领略的。我们甚至不能完全领会我们自己，更何况是基督。你知道你的灵在那里，或你的魂在那里么？你能为你的心定位么？你越分析自己，就越发觉自己在迷宫里。我年幼时，自以为认识自己非常透彻，但我活得越久，就越领悟自己所知道的何等少。我们若不能领会自己，怎能充分领会基督这位三一神的具体化身？
18Even those who have admitted that Christ is both the Son of God and the Son of David have argued whether His two natures were separate or mingled. Instead of arguing about Christ’s Person, we should say, “Hallelujah, we have a Person who is glorious and mysterious! He is so wonderful that we cannot adequately understand Him.” Consider Isaiah 9:6: “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given... and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” It will take eternity for us to understand this verse. Christ is a child, ye tHe is the mighty God. He is the Son, ye tHe is called the everlasting Father. Do not think that we can understand Christ adequately today. No, He is too wonderful and too far beyond our comprehension. We do not even fully understand ourselves, much less Christ. Do you know where your spirit is, or where your soul is? Can you locate your heart? The more you analyze yourself, the more you will find yourself in a maze. When I was very young, I thought I knew myself thoroughly. But the longer I have lived, the more I realize how little I know. If we cannot understand ourselves, how can we adequately understand Christ, the embodiment of the Triune God?
19基督何等奇妙！祂是神，也是人；是神的儿子，也是大卫的子孙。此外，祂在诸天之上，也在我们里面。祂在里面，也在外面；祂在顶上，也在底下；祂是最大的，也是最小的。哦，基督是一切！我们需要认识祂到这地步。然后我们要说，『主耶稣，我无法彻底认识你。主，惟有你是配。若有神，这神必定是你。若有真正的人，这人必定是你。主，你是救主、救赎主、生命和光。』我们今天必须认识，主耶稣是大卫的子孙和神的儿子，祂真是无穷无尽。对祂的经历和对祂的认识都是无穷无尽的。因著基督是包罗万有的一位，对祂的享受就是无穷无尽的。
19How wonderful Christ is! He is both God and man, both the Son of God and the Son of David. Furthermore, He is both in the heavens and in us. He is inside and outside; He i son the top and on the bottom; He is the greatest and the smallest. Oh, Christ is everything! We need to know Him to such a degree. Then we shall say, “Lo rd Jesus, I cannot exhaust the knowledge of You. Lord, You are the only worthy One. If there is a God, this God must be You. If there is a genuine human being, this person must be You. Lord, You are the Savior, the Redeemer, the life, and the light.” We today must come to know how inexhaustible the Lord Jesus is as the Son of David and the Son of God. Both the experience of Him and the knowledge of Him are inexhaustible. Because Christ is the all-inclusive One, the enjoyment of Him is inexhaustible.
20不要被引入为基督身位争辩的魔鬼网罗里。你以为你懂得关于基督身位的一切，就指明你已经陷入网罗。尽管我们能认识基督，我们却无法透彻领会祂。我们认识耶稣基督是子，祂也称为父，因为圣经这样告诉我们；但我们无法充分领略这点。我们也认识基督是神子和人子，在一个身位上兼有神圣的性情和属人的性情。因此，祂是一个身位带著两种性情和两种生命。但我们无法透彻领会这事。我们单单相信圣经所说的，并赞美祂是如此奇妙！我们需要敬拜祂、接受祂、享受祂并经历祂这奇妙的一位。
20Do not be led into the devilish snare of debate concerning the Person of Christ. Thinking you know everything concerning Christ’s Person is an indication that you have be ensnared already. Although we can know Christ, we cannot understand Him thoroughly. We know that Jesus Christ is the Son and that He is also called the Father, for the Bible tells us so. But we cannot comprehend this adequately. We also know that Christ is the Son of God and the Son of man and that He has both the divine nature and the human nature in one Person. Thus, He is one Person with two natures and two lives. However, it is beyond our ability to understand this thoroughly. We simply believe whatever the Bible says and praise Him for being so wonderful! We need to worship Him, take Him in, enjoy Him, and experience Him as the wonderful One
