什麼是「異象」？
I. What is a “vision”?
—「異象」就是：聖靈把 神永遠的旨意向我們 開啟，它吸引我們，並且控制我們一切的生活、言行、與事
奉。
- A “vision” is God’s eternal will revealed to us by
the Holy Spirit. A vision draws us
closer and controls our life, walk and service.

19因為父喜歡叫一切的豐盛在衪裏面居住…」(西1:17-19)
- “And He is before all things,
and in Him all things consist. And He is
the head of the body, the church, who is the
beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the
preeminence. For it pleased the Father that in Him all the
fullness should dwell” (Colossians 1:17-19)

是基督的身體，是 祂要來充
滿並彰顯衪自己的器皿
* “Church” is the body
of Christ, a vessel for Christ to fill and manifest Himself

23教會是衪的身體，是那充滿萬有者所充滿的【或作：是那充滿萬有者的豐滿】」(弗1:22-23)
--- “And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, which is His
body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all” (Ephesians 1:22-23)
—「11衪所賜的，有使徒，有先知，有傳福音的，有牧師和教師，
12為要成全聖徒，各盡其職，建立基督的身體，
13直等到我們…得以長大成人，滿有基督長成的身量…」(弗4:11-13)
--- “And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some
evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for
the work of ministry, for the
edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and
of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ”
