读经∶结一26～27，创一26，徒七56，腓二9～11，来二9，六20，启三21，罗五17、21
壹 圣经里对于神和人的关系，有一个奥秘的思想─创一26，约壹三2下，启四3上，二一11下：
I. In the Bible there is a mysterious thought concerning the relationship between God and man—Gen. 1:26; 1 John 3:2b; Rev. 4:3a; 21:11b:

三 神成为人以产生神人类；我们在基督里的信徒乃是神人类，是神人─约一1、12～14，十二24。
C. God became a man to produce God-man kind; as believers in Christ, we are God-man kind, God-men—John 1:1, 12-14; 12:24.
四 神的心意是要成为与人一样，并使人与祂一样─约壹三2下：
D. God's desire is to become the same as man is and to make man the same as He is—1 John 3:2b:

1. God's intention is to work Himself in Christ into us, making Himself the same as we are and making us the same as He is—Eph. 3:17a.
2 神的经纶乃是要把祂自己作成人，又把我们这些祂所造的人作成神；这样，祂这位神就“人化”了，我们人也就“神化”了。
2. God's economy is to make Himself man and to make us, His created beings, God, so that He is God "man-ized" and we are man "God-ized."
贰 在以西结一章二十六节，在宝座上的一位有人的样子：─引用经文

1 以西结一章二十六节与创世记一章二十六节，二者之间有关联：─引用经文
1. There is a connection between Ezekiel 1:26 and Genesis 1:26:
a 神按着祂的形像造人以彰显祂，并使人有祂的权柄以代表祂；这乃是照着祂的定旨─26～27节，弗三11。
a. God created man in His image to express Him and with His authority to represent Him; this was according to His purpose—vv. 26-27; Eph. 3:11.
b 神按着祂的形像，照着祂的样式造人，目的是要人接受祂作生命，并彰显祂─创一26～27，二9。

2. Through incarnation God became a man; He lived, died, resurrected, and ascended as a man; and now as the One on the throne He is still a man— John 6:62; Acts 7:56.
三 在宝座上之人的样子有两面的讲究；从祂腰以上，好像金银合金；从祂腰以下，有仿佛火的样子─结一27：
C. The appearance of the man on the throne has two aspects; His upper part, from the loins upward, looks like electrum, and His lower part, from the loins downward, looks like fire— Ezek. 1:27:
1 腰以上的部分表征祂的性情和个性；就着性情和个性说，在宝座上的那一位像金银合金。
1. The upper part signifies His nature and disposition; according to His nature and disposition, the One on the throne looks like electrum.
2 腰以下是行动的部分；从腰以下有仿佛火的样子，表征主在祂行动中的样子。
2. The lower part is for moving; the appearance of fire from the loins downward signifies the Lord's appearance in His move.

1 就着主是神，祂一直是主（路一43，约十一21，二十28）；但就着主是人，祂是在复活里将祂的人性带进神里面以后，才在升天里被立为主；祂在升天里被立为万有的主，是要得着万有─徒二33、36，三15，十36。
1. As God, the Lord was the Lord all the time (Luke 1:43; John 11:21; 20:28), but as man, He was made the Lord in His ascension after He brought His humanity into God in His resurrection; in His ascension He was made the Lord of all to possess all—Acts 2:33, 36; 3:15; 10:36.
2 神所高举的耶稣，地上君王的元首，乃是所有掌权者的元首；祂是神圣行政里至高的元首，以完成神永远的计划─启一5。

1 神在宇宙中所面对的最大难处，乃是祂的宝座遭到背叛权势的反对和攻击。
1. The greatest difficulty God faces in the universe is that His throne has been opposed and attacked by rebel forces.
2 撒但背叛神的宝座，想要高举自己的宝座，因而侵犯了神的权柄。
2. In his rebellion against God's throne, Satan intended to exalt his throne and thereby to intrude upon God's authority.
3 从撒但背叛直到如今，就一直在权柄的事上有分争；地上所发生的事，大多是表现撒但对神宝座的抗拒。
