0402 無與倫比的榮耀
…就是耶穌，打發我來叫你能看見，又被聖靈充滿。《使徒行傳 9:17》
當保羅恢復視力時，他也得到了對耶穌基督位格的屬靈洞察力；從那時起，他整個生命和傳道都完全被耶穌基督所充滿——「因為我曾定了主意，在你們中間不知道別的，只知道耶穌基督並他釘十字架。」（林前 2:2）。除了耶穌基督的面容，保羅再也沒有容讓任何事物吸引和抓住他的思想和靈魂的注意力。
我們必須學會在我們生活中保持強大的品德，甚至達到在我們對耶穌基督的異象中所揭示的水平。
屬靈人持久的特質是能夠正確理解主耶穌基督在他生命中的意義，以及能夠向他人解釋神的旨意；他生命中最主要的激情是耶穌基督。每當你在一個人身上看到這種品質時，你就會感覺到他確實是一個合神心意的人（見使徒行傳13:22）。
永遠不要讓任何事物轉移你對耶穌基督的洞察力。這是你是否屬靈的真正考驗。不屬靈意味着其他事物對你越來越有吸引力。
自我眼睛認定耶穌，
世界一切已無睹，
仰望懸掛十架恩主，
祂已充滿我眼目。

0402 The Glory That’s Unsurpassed
…the Lord Jesus…has sent me that you may receive your sight… —Acts 9:17
When Paul received his sight, he also received spiritual insight into the Person of Jesus Christ. His entire life and preaching from that point on were totally consumed with nothing but Jesus Christ— “For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified” (1 Corinthians 2:2). Paul never again allowed anything to attract and hold the attention of his mind and soul except the face of Jesus Christ.
We must learn to maintain a strong degree of character in our lives, even to the level that has been revealed in our vision of Jesus Christ.
The lasting characteristic of a spiritual man is the ability to understand correctly the meaning of the Lord Jesus Christ in his life, and the ability to explain the purposes of God to others. The overruling passion of his life is Jesus Christ. Whenever you see this quality in a person, you get the feeling that he is truly a man after God’s own heart (see Acts 13:22).
Never allow anything to divert you from your insight into Jesus Christ. It is the true test of whether you are spiritual or not. To be unspiritual means that other things have a growing fascination for you.
Since mine eyes have looked on Jesus,
I’ve lost sight of all besides,
So enchained my spirit’s vision,
Gazing on the Crucified.
