Topic 话题：神通过救世主耶稣的救赎生命和爱，以人的肉身向人类显现了 God manifested himself to Humanity in Human flesh Through the Redemptive Life and Love of Jesus the Savior.

Scripture 经文：祂（神）救了我们脱离黑暗的权势，把我们迁到祂爱子（耶稣）的国里；我们在爱子里得蒙救赎，罪过得以赦免。爱子是那不能看见之神的像，是首生的，在一切被造的以先。因为万有都是靠祂造的，无论是天上的，地上的；能看见的，不能看见的；或是有位的，主治的，执政的，掌权的；一概都是藉着祂造的，又是为祂造的。祂在万有之先；万有也靠祂而立。祂也是教会全体之首。祂是元始，是从死里首先复生的，使祂可以在凡事上居首位。因为父（神）喜欢叫一切的丰盛在祂里面居住。既然藉着祂在十字架上所流的血成就了和平，便藉着祂叫万有─无论是地上的、天上的─都与自己和好了; For (God) he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son (Jesus) he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. For God（the Father）was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross. (歌罗西书 Colossians 1：13-20)

Sharing 分享: 基督徒知道很多不信的人都有这样的试探和想法，除非我能看到神，否则我不会相信神，更不会相信基督教所传的福音，相信神的儿子耶稣为救主可以拯救你。一位牧师很好地解释了这种不信。他指出，我们今天引用的经文清楚地描述了这个救恩福音的真理，是人与神和好的基本和必要条件。相信耶稣可以拯救你，获得救恩可以让你亲近神，看到神的真理。尤其要记得歌罗西书 1:15 说我们不能用肉眼看见神，原因很简单，因为约翰福音 4:24 告诉我们，神是灵，没有肉体。这至少是使徒保罗所说的救主基督是 “那不能看见之神的像，是首生的，在一切受造之物之上” 的意思的一部分。通过救世主耶稣的救赎生活和爱，神以耶稣化身的形式、以人的形象出现在人类面前。当你相信耶稣，早期的信徒，尤其是祂的十二门徒，都看到耶稣与祂生活在一起，也就等于看到道成肉身的神行走在人群中。

正如我们解释我们的造物主是三位一体的神： “圣父、圣子和圣灵” 不是神不同部分的名称，而是神的一个名称，因为三位一体存在于神中。他们不能彼此分离。当你看到耶稣的道路，你就会看见天父神，祂对人类的奇迹般的工作，充满祂的圣灵，住在我们心中，引导我们走耶稣的道路，走正义的道路，相互关爱的道路。

在登山宝训的第六福马太福音 5 章 8 节，耶稣说：“清心的人有福了，因为他们必得见神。” 愿神怜悯我们，帮助我们持守信仰，跟随主，相信神已藉着救主耶稣的救赎生命和爱，以人的肉身向人类显现了。

Christians know that many unbelievers have this temptation and thought, unless I can see God, I will not believe in God, let alone the gospel preached by Christianity, that believing in God's Son Jesus as the Savior can save you. A pastor explained this unbelief very well. He pointed out that the scriptures we quoted today clearly describe the truth of this gospel of salvation, which is the basic and necessary condition for people to be reconciled with God. Believing in Jesus can save you, and obtaining salvation can bring you close to God and see the truth of God. Especially remember that Colossians 1:15 says that we cannot see God with our physical eyes, for the simple reason that John 4:24 tells us that God is spirit and has no flesh. This is at least part of what the apostle Paul meant when he said that Christ the Savior is "the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation." Through the redemptive life and love of Jesus the Savior, God appeared to mankind in the form of Jesus incarnate, in the image of a man. When you believe in Jesus, the early believers, especially His twelve disciples, saw Jesus living with Him, which is equivalent to seeing God incarnate walking among the people.

As we explain our Creator is a Triune God: "Father, Son and Holy Spirit" is not a name of different parts of God, but one name of God, because the Trinity exists in God. They cannot be separated from each other. When you see the way of Jesus, you will see God the Father, His miraculous work for mankind, filled with His Holy Spirit, living in our hearts, leading us to the way of Jesus, the way of righteousness, and the way of caring for each other.

In the sixth beatitude of the Sermon on the Mount, Matthew 5:8, Jesus said: "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." May God have mercy on us and help us to keep the faith and follow the Lord, believing that God has appeared to mankind in human flesh through the redemptive life and love of the Savior Jesus.
