希伯来书生命读经 · 第9篇

救恩的元帅（一）

The Captain of Salvation (1)

1在本篇信息中，我们要来看我们救恩的元帅。这件事很难从道理来领会。就著逻辑来说，为著得救恩，我们并不需要耶稣作我们的元帅、开拓者或先锋，我们所需要的是耶稣作我们的救主和救赎主。但是在神奇妙的救恩里，在祂『这么大的救恩里』，我们确实需要这样一位元帅。元帅乃是一个首领，率领群众进入一个地方。这位救恩的元帅要带我

1In this message we come to the Captain of our salvation. It is difficult to understand this matter doctrinally. It seems that, logically speaking, for salvation we need Jesus to be our Savior and Redeemer, not our Captain, Pioneer, or Forerunner. Nevertheless, in God’s wonderful salvation, in His “so great a salvation,” we do need such a Captain. A captain is a leader who leads a group of people into a certain place. What is this Captain leading us into? He is leading us into glory

2们进入甚么？祂要领我们进荣耀里去。

3神的荣耀是最令人难以解释、说明的事。主耶稣在约翰十七章向父祷告说，『你所赐给我的荣耀，我已赐给他们。』（22。）这荣耀是甚么？我们的元帅所要带我们进入的荣耀，就是祂所已经赐给我们的荣耀。虽然荣耀已经赐给我们，但我们仍需要进入。这个荣耀到底是甚么，实在难说。有人说这荣耀乃是一个繁华的境地，是我们将来要进入的，那里会叫我们非常的激动兴奋。我过去听见这种说法，相当不以为然。我深处觉得这样说太轻率，毫无分量，毫无意义。你若问我到底这个荣耀是甚么，我只能说，神所命定给我们的神圣荣耀，是极其难以解释的。

3The glory of God is a most difficult thing for anyone to define or explain. In His prayer to the Father in John 17, the Lord Jesus said, “ And the glory which You have given to Me I have given to them” (John 17:22, Recovery Version). What is this glory? The glory into which our Captain is leading us is the glory which He has already given us. Although glory has been given to us already, yet we still need to enter into it. How difficult it is to speak about this glory! Some say this glory is a luxurious state into which we shall enter in the future and which will thrill and excite us very much. When I heard this kind of talk in the past, I was unhappy with it. Deep within, I felt that it was too light, that there was no weight or meaning in it. If you turn the question to me, I would have to say that it is exceedingly difficult to define what is the divine glory which God has ordained for us

4新约圣经告诉我们，我们已经蒙召进入荣耀，而这荣耀乃是神在已过的永远里照著祂的智慧所设计的。林前二章七节说到神在已过的永远里豫定我们要被带进这荣耀。帖前二章十二节和彼前五章十节，都说到我们蒙召为要进入这荣耀。歌罗西三章四节说，基督显现的时候，我们也要与祂一同显现在荣耀里。这荣耀究竟是甚么？也许多数基督徒认为，荣耀不过是一种的照耀或光辉。因为我尚未进入那荣耀，所以我不敢说这是错的。然而我认为，这样的领会太客观了，完全是照著客观的想像。说我们所要进入的荣耀仅是一种灿烂明亮的照耀或光辉，可能是对的，但完全是一种客观的观念。

4The New Testament tells us that we have been called into glory and that this glory was designed according to God’s wisdom in eternity past. First Corinthians 2:7 says that in eternity past God ordained that we should be brought into this glory. Both 1 Thessalonians 2:12 and 1 Peter 5:10 tell us that we have been called into this glory. And, according to Colossians 3:4, when Christ appears, we shall appear with Him in His glory. What is this glory? Probably most Christians think that glory is merely a kind of shining or brightness. I would not say that glory is not such a shining or brightness, because I have not entered into it and dare not say that this understanding of glory is wrong. However, I would say that such an understanding is too objective and that it is absolutely according to objective considerations. To say that the glory into which we shall enter is merely a kind of radiant shining or brightness may be correct, but it is altogether an objective concept

5我们可以用康乃馨为例，来说明荣耀这件事。康乃馨的种子很小，若种在地里，就能生长直至开花。牠开花时，也就是牠的得荣。但从种子到开花阶段，需要经过漫长的过程。在这过程中，牠必须经过一连串的争战。你若是那粒种子，你就会告诉我们，你必须经过多少的争战。首先，必须与自己争战，因为种子里面生命的元素，必须与自己的外壳争战，破壳而出，才能萌芽。然后，牠还要与周围的土壤争战。土壤是帮助牠生长的，我们可以称之为使其生长的土壤。然而，甚至这土壤也是牠生长的拦阻。虽然植物需要土壤，土壤助其生长；但是，土壤也是牠生长的一个拦阻。康乃馨必须与那帮助牠生长的土壤争战。最后，经过许多的争战，牠才达到开花的阶段。那就是康乃馨的荣耀。开花就是牠的荣耀。

5We may illustrate this matter of glory by the example of a carnation flower. The seed of a carnation plant is very small. If you sow this seed into the earth, it will grow until it eventually reaches the blossom stage. When the carnation blossoms, that is its glorification. A long process must transpire from the seed stage to the blossoming stage. As the carnation passes through this process, it must do a great deal of fighting. If you were a carnation seed, you would be able to tell us how much fighting you must pass through. The carnation must firstly fight against itself, because the life element within the seed must fight against the shell and break through it in order to come out. Then the carnation must fight against the soil in which it grows. Because the soil helps the carnation to grow, we may call it the growing soil. However, even this growing soil is a frustration to the carnation. Although the plant needs the soil and the soil helps it to grow, it is, nevertheless, a frustration to the growth of the carnation. The carnation must fight against the very soil that helps it to grow. Finally, after much fighting, the carnation reaches the stage of blossoming. That is the glory of the carnation flower. Its blossom is its glory.

6我们每个人都像一粒康乃馨种子，没有一个例外。藉著重生，荣耀的生命进入了我们里面。我们现在都有一粒荣耀的种子在我们里面。我们里面的生命作为种子，乃是荣耀的生命。这就是基督在我们里面成了荣耀的盼望。（西一27。）荣耀不是仅仅照射在空中的光辉，那太客观了。如果荣耀仅是一种外面的照耀，就不过是另一种的虚空；那不是圣经所说的荣耀。圣经所启示的荣耀，乃是神的神圣元素的开花。有一天，神的神圣的元素要开花，我们所要进入的荣耀不是仅仅客观的，乃是神圣的元素从我们里面开花，我这样说是否令你困惑？若是这样，就证明你至少在某种程度上仍然坚持老旧的道理，你需要过河。让我们思想主耶稣在山上变像的事。（太十七1～2。）当主耶稣上到山顶，变了形像，是否有神看得见的荣耀突然从三层天上，从外面临到祂？祂是否进到一种外面的照耀或光辉之中？不，荣耀乃是从祂里面照耀出来，所以才称作变化形像。照样，我们所要进入的荣耀，乃是现今就在我们里面的荣耀。这不是仅仅客观的，乃是全然主观的。这与传统关于荣耀的教训何等不同！我们重生的时候，荣耀的种子已经撒到我们里面。这是一件奥秘的事。

6Every one of us, without exception, is like a carnation seed. Through regeneration, the life of glory has come into us. We now have a seed of glory within us. The life that we have within us as a seed is the life of glory. This is Christ in us, the hope of glory (Col. 1:27). Glory is not merely a radiant shining in the air. That is too objective. If glory were merely an outward shining, it would simply be another vanity. But that is not the glory that the Bible talks about. The glory revealed in the Bible is the very blossoming of God’s divine element. One day, God’s divine element is going to blossom. Does it bother you when I say that the glory into which we shall enter is not merely something objective, but that it is the blossoming of the divine element from within us? If it does, it means that, at least to some degree, you are still clinging to the old doctrines. You need to cross the river. Consider the transfiguration of the Lord Jesus on the mountaintop (Matt. 17:1-2). When the Lord Jesus ascended to the top of that mountain and was transfigured, did the shekinah glory suddenly come upon Him from the outside, from the third heavens? Did He enter into an outward shining or brightness? No, the glory shone from within Him. That is why it is called the transfiguration. Likewise, the glory into which we shall be brought is the very glory that is within us right now. It is not merely objective; it is altogether subjective. What a difference between this and the traditional teaching about glory! At the time we were regenerated, the seed of glory was sown into us. This is mysterious

7我们重生时，生命的元素就进到我们里面。这生命的元素不是小事，乃是神的神圣元素。神一切的所是，都在这进入我们里面的本质，也就是生命元素里。哦，我们多么需要认识在我们重生时，所发生在我们身上的事！

7In regeneration a life element came into our being. This life element is not a small thing: it is God’s divine element. All that God is is in this substance, this life element, that has come into our being. Oh, how we all must realize what happened to us when we were regenerated! God’s divine element came into us.

8神的神圣元素已经进入我们里面。

9以色列人进入迦南地，就开始『开花』。那就是他们的荣耀。他们一进入美地就开始争战，所以开花期也就是争战期。他们在耶利哥打了头一仗，然后继续争战，直到大卫击败了一切仇敌，然后圣殿被建造起来。那时，神的荣耀就充满了殿。（王上八11。）表面上，荣耀似乎是从上头下来充满了殿；事实上，荣耀乃是一直随著以色列人的。从他们过红海那天起，荣耀就一直与他们同在。荣耀乃是在云柱和火柱里。（出十四19，。）当他们建造了圣殿，圣殿就满了荣耀。我再说，荣耀不是从上头下来的，是早就已经存在，等待著百姓长大并发展。当以色列人完全发展时，荣耀就充满了圣殿。同样的，我们在重生时都有了新的开始，那就是我们的逾越节。从我们的逾越节起，就是荣耀的种子撒在我们里面的时候起，那种子就一直在生长。这个生长也就是争战的过程。直到如今，我们仍在进入荣耀的过程中。

9When the children of Israel entered into the land of Canaan, they began to blossom. That was their glory. That blossoming stage was also a fighting stage, for they began to fight almost immediately after entering into the good land. The first battle they fought was at Jericho. After Jericho, they fought continually until David defeated all the enemies and the temple was built. Then the glory of God filled the temple (1 Kings 8:10). Apparently, the glory that filled the temple came down from above; actually, the glory was with the children of Israel. Since the day they crossed the Red Sea, the glory was with them. The glory was in the pillar of cloud and the pillar of fire (Exo. 14:19, 24). When they built the temple, the temple was filled 24 with glory. Again I say that the glory did not come from above. It was present already, waiting for the people’s growth and development. When the children of Israel were fully developed, the glory filled the temple. Like wise, we all had our beginning at the time of our regeneration. That was our Passover. Since the time of our Passover, the time when the seed of glory was sown into us, that seed has been growing. This growing is a fighting process. Even now we are still under the process of entering into glory.

10现在，我们豫备好了，可以来看甚么是救恩的元帅。基督为元帅的这救恩，就是要领我们进入荣耀的救恩。『这么大的救恩』要领我们进入荣耀，而我们的救主基督，乃是这救恩的元帅。这是甚么意思？意思就是说，我们的救主率先争战进入荣耀。主耶稣不是突然的进入荣耀。祂在地上的日子，天天都在争战的过程中。荣耀的种子在祂里面，并且要打开一条出路。你若读福音书，就会看见耶稣的一生乃是争战的一生。祂一生的故事就是争战的故事。祂一直争战，好使荣耀的种子得以生长。祂争战，为要使荣耀从祂里面显出，也为要使祂被带进荣耀。

10Now we are prepared to understand the Captain of salvation. The salvation of which Christ is the Captain is the very salvation which brings us into glory. The “so great a salvation” brings us into glory, and Christ, our Savior, is the Captain of this salvation. What does this mean? It simply means that our Savior took the lead to fight through into glory. The Lord Jesus did not suddenly enter into glory. During all of His days on earth, a fighting process was going on. The seed of glory was in Him and was fighting its way out. If you read the Gospels, you will see that the life of Jesus was a life of fighting. The story of His life was a fighting story. He was always fighting the battle for the growth of the seed of glory. He fought that the glory might come out and that He might be brought into glory

11不要以为主升到诸天之上时，才进入荣耀。不，在祂升天前，当祂还在地上时，就在复活之日进入了荣耀。路加二十四章二十六节指明，基督进入荣耀，不是藉著升天，乃是藉著复活。祂的复活就是进入荣耀。祂整个一生，从出生直到从死里复活，就是争战的过程。主争战不仅为著得胜，更是为著荣耀。祂是为得荣耀而争战，祂的争战是为进荣耀铺路。在这样为著荣耀而争战的事上，祂是开拓者，开拓了进荣耀的路。因此，对于那些将要进荣耀的人，祂当然是彀资格的首领。所以祂成了我们救恩的元帅。这位开拓者已经铺好路，进入了荣耀，我们今天乃是跟随著祂。这荣耀现今就是美地，我们必须过河进入那地。就一面说，基督已经过了河，现今正在河那边荣耀之地。虽然祂已经在荣耀里，但我们还未进去；我们还在路上，跟随祂作我们的元帅。

11Do not think that the Lord entered into glory when He ascended to the heavens. No, before His ascension, while He was still on earth, He entered into glory on the day of His resurrection. Luke 24:26 indicates that Christ entered into glory not by ascending but by resurrecting. His resurrection was His entrance into glory. His whole life, from the time He was born until the day He was resurrected from the dead, was a fighting process. The Lord did not only fight for victory but for glory. He fought for His glorification. His fighting paved the way into glory. In this matter of fighting for glory, He was the Pioneer. He pioneered the way into glory. Therefore, He spontaneously has become qualified to be the leader of those entering into glory. So He is the Captain of our salvation. Today we are following this Pioneer who has paved the way and entered into glory. That glory is now the good land. We must cross the river and enter into this land. In a sense, Christ has crossed the river and is now on the other side, in the land of glory. Although He is in the glory, we are not yet in it. We are on the way, following Him as our Captain.

12壹神要领许多的儿子进荣耀里去我们的神建立了一个大企业；这个企业的目的是为著成就一件事，就是要领许多的儿子进荣耀里去。（来二。）神的企业乃是荣耀的事业。不是经营钱财，乃是经营荣耀。

12I. GOD LEADING MANY SONS INTO GLORY Our God has established a great corporation, a great business. The purpose of this corporation is to accomplish one thing: to lead many sons into glory (2:10). God’s corporation is a corporation of glory. It 10 does not make money; it makes glory.

一万有是因神而有的

A. All Things for God

13为著领众子进荣耀里去，神必须有一个适宜的环境。为此，祂创造了天地万物。万有都是为著让神成就祂那荣耀的事业。

13In order to lead many sons into glory, God had to have a suitable environment. So, He created the heavens, the earth, and all things. All things are for God to accomplish His glory business

二万有是藉神而造的

B. All Things through God

14神为著成就祂荣耀的事业而造的万有，乃是藉著神而存在的。神维持宇宙万有，使其为著成就神荣耀的事业而效力。

14All things which God created for the accomplishing of His glory business are existing through God. It is God who maintains all things in the universe that they may serve the purpose of accomplishing His glory business

三在万有中神的许多儿子

C. Many Sons among All Things

15万有是因神而有，并藉神而造的。在万有中有神的许多儿子，他们乃是神造物的中心。万有都为著神的众子效力，因为神的企业就是要领许多的儿子进荣耀里去。这必须经过许多争战。这就是为甚么神的长子要来作神许多儿子之救恩的元帅。

15All things are for and through God. Among the all things are the many sons of God who are the center of God’s creation. All things are for the many sons of God because God’s corporation is to bring His many sons into glory. This requires much fighting. This is why the Firstborn Son of God is the Captain of His many sons’ salvation

四进荣耀里去

D. Into Glory

16神的目标是要领许多的儿子进荣耀里去。神的长子主耶稣，作为开拓者，已经藉著争战进入这荣耀。现今祂是神许多儿子之救恩的元帅，正率领他们经过争战进入祂的荣耀。我们就是神许多的儿子，正在争战的路上，要进入神所命定给我们的荣耀。

16God’s goal is to bring His many sons into glory. His Firstborn Son, the Lord Jesus, as the Pioneer, has fought into this glory. Now He is the Captain of God’s many sons’ salvation leading them into His glory by fighting. We, the many sons of God, are now on the way, fighting into the glory which God ordained for us.

贰使耶稣藉著苦难

II. MAKING JESUS PERFECT

得著成全

THROUGH SUFFERINGS

17神为要完成祂的定旨，就是领许多儿子进荣耀里去，必须先得著一个榜样，一个模型。这一位就能成为合格的元帅，率领许多儿子进荣耀里去。这位元帅就是耶稣。但在耶稣成为元帅之前，祂必须藉著许多苦难得著成全。（二10。）我年轻时读到希伯来二章十节说，耶稣还需要得著成全，心中甚觉困惑。一面，我知道耶稣是完全的，但另一面，这处圣经却说祂必须得著成全。所以似乎耶稣是不完全的。事实上，祂的确是完全的。祂虽然在成为肉体之前已经是完全的，但祂尚未经历人生的苦难。所以祂成为救恩的元帅之前，还必须藉著苦难得著成全。二章十节里的『成全』，意思乃是藉著完成或成全，而达到终点或终极完成。得著成全意即检定合格。在成为肉体之前，耶稣尚未合格成为救恩的元帅。祂必须经历人生的苦难，然后才能彀资格担任这个职分。因此，使耶稣得著成全，并不含示祂的美德或属性有甚么不完全，乃是指使祂完成人生苦难的经历，能适合作跟从祂者救恩的元帅和首领。耶稣既已经历了人生一切的苦难，就得了成全，彀资格承担祂的职分。祂彀资格作开拓者，率领神的众子进入祂首先进入的荣耀境地。

17In order to accomplish His purpose of bringing many sons into glory, God had to have an example, a model. Such a one could be the qualified Captain taking the lead to bring the many sons into glory. Jesus is this Captain. Before Jesus became the Captain, however, He had to be perfected through sufferings (2:10). When I read the Bible as a young man, I was bothered by the verse in Hebrews 2 which says that Jesus needed to be perfected. On the one hand, I knew that Jesus was perfect. On the other hand, 2:10 says that He had to be perfected. So it seemed to me that Jesus was not perfect. But He truly was perfect. Although He was perfect before His incarnation, He did not have the experience of human suffering. He had to be perfected through suffering before He could become the Captain of salvation. The word perfect in 2:10 means to carry to the end or consummation by completing or perfecting. To be perfect here actually means to be qualified. Before His incarnation, Jesus was not qualified to be the Captain of salvation. In order to be qualified for this office, He had to experience human suffering. Thus, to make Jesus perfect does not imply any imperfection of virtue or attribute in Jesus, but only the completing of His experience of human sufferings which makes Him fit to become the Captain, the Leader, of His followers’ salvation. Since Jesus had passed through all the human suffering, He has been perfected, qualified, to fill this office. He is qualified to bring the many sons of God into the region of glory which He has already entered as the Pioneer

18希伯来书的著者为甚么题到苦难？因为他写这书信时，希伯来信徒正遭遇苦难。（十32～35。）他们正在受逼迫。一面来说，苦难似乎不好，因为他们被苦难所困扰。但另一面来说，苦难乃是帮助他们进入荣耀的过程。著者告诉他们，救恩的元帅主耶稣，已经走在他们前头，要帮助他们渡过苦难的水河，而进入荣耀。这就是本书著者的思想，这思想实在很深。著者好像对他们说，『希伯来弟兄姊妹，你们要认识我们的耶稣乃是真约书亚，祂率先过了约但河。不要错过祂。要注目于祂，跟随祂的脚步。祂已经过一切苦难，进入了荣耀。祂是我们的开拓者和先锋；祂已经在我们前面开拓了进荣耀的路。路已经修好，你们所要作的，只是跟随祂。不要受苦难困扰，当得安慰。因为一切的苦难都是帮助你们走上锡安大道。』耶稣真是他们救恩的元帅。现在我们明白了这个辞的意义。

18Why did the writer of Hebrews mention suffering? Because at the time this Epistle was written the Hebrew Christians were suffering (10:32-35). They were being persecuted. In a sense, their suffering was not good, for they were very troubled by it. In another sense, however, that suffering was the process which was helping them to enter into glory. The writer was telling them that the Lord Jesus, as the Captain of salvation, had gone ahead of them that He might help them cross the waters of suffering and enter into glory. This was the writer’s concept. This concept is deep. The writer seemed to be telling the Hebrew believers, “Hebrew brothers and sisters, you must realize that our Jesus is the real Joshua. He took the lead to cross the Jordan River. Don’t miss Him. Look unto Him and follow His steps. He has passed through all the sufferings and has entered into glory. He is our Pioneer, our Forerunner. He has gone before us to cut the way into glory. The way has been paved and all you need to do is follow Him. Do not be troubled by your sufferings. You should be comforted. All the sufferings are helping you along the highway of Zion.” Jesus truly was their Captain of salvation. Now we understand the meaning of this term

19参开拓者、首领和元帅因著在肉体里经历了人生的苦难，耶稣已经得著成全，彀资格承担我们救恩的元帅一职。祂成了开拓者、首领和元帅。祂已开拓了进荣耀的路，也率先进入了荣耀；现今祂乃是元帅，正在率领祂的跟从者进荣耀里去。

19III. THE PIONEER, THE LEADER, AND THE CAPTAIN Since Jesus has been perfected through His experience of human sufferings in the flesh, He is qualified to fulfill the office of the Captain of our salvation. He has become the Pioneer, the Leader, and the Captain. He has cut the way into glory, He has taken the lead to enter into glory, and He is now the Captain bringing His followers into glory

肆救恩

IV. SALVATION

20我们的救恩乃是『这么大的救恩』。这救恩极其深，不仅救我们脱离堕落的光景，更要带我们进荣耀里去。我们不是被绑架似的突然进入荣耀，乃是经过苦难的道路而被救进荣耀里去。让我对你们大家说一点安慰的话。我们越在主的路上跟从祂，就越要准备经历苦难。苦难是有益的，对我们大有帮助。我们真该亲吻苦难，珍赏苦难。我们该为所受的苦难感谢主，因为一切苦难都是我们的帮手。总有一天你要说，『苦难阿，你作了我亲爱的帮手，我欠你太多了。当我经历你的时候，我不喜欢你，因为我那时不认识你对我真正的帮助是何等大。谢谢你为我所作的一切。』我们基督徒越是多祷告，多爱主，麻烦也就越多。从我们的经历来看，我们能体会，许多麻烦临到我们，都是经过精确的量度，既不太长也不太短，并且来得正是时候。当我们回顾已往的经历，就会发现某些事情的发生实在太好了。不要为难处感到困扰，无论甚么事临到你，只要说，『赞美主，这乃是进入荣耀的过程。』让我们仰望我们的元帅，祂正在开路，祂正在争战；我们应当跟从祂。祂不是领我们进入客观的荣耀，乃是进入祂所已经种在我们里面的荣耀。这个荣耀好像一粒种子撒在我们里面，经过长大发展，而成为我们所要进入的荣耀。愿那灵更多向我们开启进入荣耀这件事。

20Our salvation is “so great a salvation.” This salvation is very deep. It is not only a matter of saving us from our fallen state, but of bringing us into glory. We are not going to be kidnapped into glory; we shall be saved into glory through the way of suffering. Let me say a word of comfort to you all. The more we follow Christ in His way, the more we must be prepared to experience sufferings. Sufferings are good. They are a great help. We need to kiss the sufferings and appreciate them. We need to thank the Lord for our sufferings because all the sufferings are our helpers. Sooner or later you will say, “Sufferings, you have been my dear helpers. I owe very much to you. When I was passing through you, I didn’t like you because then I didn’t know how great a help you really were to me. Thank you for what you have done.” The more we Christians pray and love the Lord, the more problems we may have. According to our experiences, we can realize that many problems are precisely measured out. They are neither too long nor too short. And they all seem to come at just the right time. As we look back upon our experiences, we see how good it was that certain things happened when they did. Do not be bothered by your problems. Whatever happens to you, just say, “Praise the Lord. This is the process of getting into glory.” Look at our Captain. He is pioneering; He is fighting. Let us follow Him. He is not leading us into some objective glory, but into that very glory which has been sown into our inner being. The glory that has been sown into us as a seed will be developed into the glory which we are going to enter. May the Spirit speak to us more about this matter of entering into glory.

21你若把本篇信息所说的，与罗马八章十七至十八节、二十一节所说关乎荣耀的定义互相比较，就会发现二者是相同的。得荣不是突然进入一个光辉明亮的境域，好像被绑架进去似的。我们所要进入的荣耀，乃是种在我们里面神圣元素的荣耀。我们也不是靠自己进入那荣耀，乃是与我们的元帅一同进入的；祂已经开拓了道路，已经进入了荣耀，现今正率领我们也进入荣耀。我再说，我们看见我们是真

21If you compare what we have said about glory in this message with the definition of it found in Romans 8:17-18, 21, you will see that they are the same. To be glorified is not to be kidnapped into a region of shining brightness. The glory into which we shall enter is the glory of the divine element that has been sown into us. We are not entering into this glory on our own but with the Captain who has pioneered the way, who has entered into glory, and is now leading us into glory. Once again, we see that we are the real river crossers. We are crossing the river to enter into glory.

22正的过河者，正在过河进荣耀里去。
