照明你們心中的眼睛


Prayer: Ephesians 1:17-21
17 求我們主耶穌基督的神、榮耀的父,
          將那賜人智慧和啟示的靈賞給你們,
                                          使你們真知道他。 
          18 並且照明你們心中的眼睛,使你們知道他的恩召有何等指望,
                                                        他在聖徒中得的基業有何等豐盛的榮耀; 
                                                                  19 並知道他向我們這信的人所顯的能力是何等浩大,       
                                                                                                                          20 就是
                                                               照他在基督身上所運行的大能大力,
                                                 使他從死裡復活,叫他在天上坐在自己的右邊,
21 遠超過一切執政的、掌權的、有能的、主治的和一切有名的,不但是今世的,連來世的也都超過了
【靈糧on-line】212.照明心中的眼睛,使你們知道恩召有何等指望

J.B. Phillips New Testament version:
and this is my prayer. 
That God, the God of our Lord Jesus Christ and the all-glorious Father, 
will give you spiritual wisdom and the insight to know more of him: 
that you may receive that inner illumination of the spirit 
which will make you realise how great is the hope 
to which he is calling you—
the magnificence and splendour of the inheritance promised to Christians—
and how tremendous is the power available to us who believe in God.

John 1:
生命就是人的 
                     5 光照在黑暗裡,黑暗卻不接受光。 
(6 有一個人,是從神那裡差來的,名叫約翰 
這人來,為要作見證,就是為作見證,叫眾人因他可以信。 
他不是那光,乃是要為光作見證。)
              是真光,照亮一切生在世上的人。
2 Peter 1:3-11
His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence, by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire. For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love. For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. For whoever lacks these qualities is so nearsighted that he is blind, having forgotten that he was cleansed from his former sins. 10 Therefore, brothers, be all the more diligent to confirm your calling and election, for if you practice these qualities you will never fall. 11 For in this way there will be richly provided for youan entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Ephesians 1:17 Insight  comes from God's own revelation, which is in His own Son, Christ who is the Light.
