多瑪斯·阿奎那(Thomas Aquinas)曾被問到: 「多瑪斯, 你認為耶穌在世的全部時間都在享受見主榮面(beatific vision)嗎?」多瑪斯回答:
「我不知道,但我肯定我們的主能看見我們的罪使我們不能看見的事。」緊記八福中「必得見神」的應許是對誰承諾的。是對清心的人。親愛的弟兄姐妹,你看不見上帝,非因你的視神經出了問題。妨礙我們看見上帝的是我們的心,我們的不潔。但耶穌並沒有不潔,多瑪斯說祂的心是潔凈的,很明顯,祂體驗過天父的榮美,就在我的罪加在祂身上的那一刻,潔凈的那一位就不再潔凈。所以上帝咒詛祂。
天上好像傳來一聲呼喊——請原諒我的語言,但我無法準確表達——就好像耶穌所聽到的「上帝詛咒你」。因為這就是被一個父親詛咒,被罰入地獄,被肢解的意思。如我說過的,我不明白,但我知道這是真的。我知道,這房間裏的每一個人,這旅館外的每一個人,這條街上的每一個人,世上所有的人,假若此刻還沒有被基督的義遮蓋,就會在上帝的咒詛下喘氣過活。親愛的弟兄姐妹,你們若相信這道,就不要添加福音的內容,只管放膽、清晰地傳講,因為這是我們唯一的盼望,充足的盼望。

Thomas
Aquinas once was asked, “Thomas, do you think that Jesus enjoyed the beatific
vision through his whole life?” Thomas said, “I don’t know, but I’m sure that
our Lord was able to see things that our sin keeps us from seeing.” Remember
that the promise of the vision of God in the Beatitudes is a promise made to
whom? To the pure of heart. Beloved, the reason why you can’t see God with your
eyes is not because you have a problem with your optic nerve. What prevents us
from seeing God is our heart, our impurity. But Jesus had no impurity, and
Thomas said He was pure in heart, so obviously he had some experience of the
beauty of the Father until that moment that my sin was placed upon him and the
one who was pure was pure no more. And God cursed Him.
It
was as if there was a cry from heaven—excuse my language, but I can be no more
accurate than to say—it was as if Jesus heard the words “God Damn You.” Because
that’s what it meant to be cursed, to be damned, to be under the anatomy of a
Father. As I said, I don’t understand that, but I know that it’s true. And I
know that every person in this room and every person outside in this hotel and
on the street and across the world who has not been covered by the
righteousness of Christ right this minute draws every breath under the curse of
God. If you believe that, you will stop adding to the gospel and start
preaching it with clarity and with boldness because, dear friends, it is the
only hope we have and it is hope enough.
