神啊，开我们的眼睛，使我们能看见，我们今天不只是你的造物，颂赞你是创造主，我们更是你的儿子，要颂赞你是我们的父。你借着分赐生命给我们，使我们在生命和性情上与你是一，愿我们在聚会中有更多带着新约启示的赞美，满足你的喜悦。
以弗所书 一 3
我们主耶稣基督的神与父，是当受颂赞的，他在基督里，曾用诸天界里各样属灵的福分，祝福了我们；
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies in Christ,
亮光
主耶稣基督既是我们的，凡神之于祂的，也就都是我们的。『主』指我们救主为主的身分（徒二36）；『耶稣』指祂是人（提前二5）；『基督』指祂是神的受膏者（约二十31）。
一章三节的赞美既深且奥，包含了整个新约的经纶。在此我们不仅有『神』这个称呼所指明的创造，也有成为肉体。圣经中对神的头一个启示是在创造里，因为圣经是以『起初神创造天地』开头的。接着创造，就有成为肉体。有一天创造的神成了肉体，成为一个人。那与神同在而且就是神的话，成了肉体（约一1，14）。当神自己成为人时，那创造万有的神就成了祂的神。这是神的成为肉体，不仅仅是神的伟大或慈爱而已。借着成为肉体，就有生命的分赐。因此，我们主耶稣基督的神，乃是指成为肉体；我们主耶稣基督的父，是指生命的分赐。
我们若只知道赞美神的慈爱，我们就仍旧在可怜的光景中。这种赞美没有指明祂的一些成分已进到我们里面。因此，我们需要看见这位创造者，就是耶稣基督的神，已经成为肉体成了一个人。祂也是分赐生命的父，将祂自己分赐到我们里面作生命，使我们能成为祂的众子。神对我们不再只是慈爱的。祂是我们的神，也是我们的父；我们也不只是祂的造物，乃是祂的儿子。
哦，愿主开我们的眼睛，使我们看见这个！我们必须按着新约的经纶对神说美言。在我们的美言里，我们需要有成为肉体、分赐生命以及属天属灵之传输的思想。我们需要包括基督为主、为元首，以及耶稣为耶和华我们的救主，为我们完成救赎与救恩的思想。我们也需要想到基督为神的受膏者，祂已完全成就了神的定旨。我们对神的美言，我们对神这种高的赞美，不该是天然的，乃该满了神新约经纶中所有美妙观点的启示。
Since the Lord Jesus Christ is ours, whatever God is to Him is also ours. Our Lord refers to the lordship of our Savior (Acts 2:36), Jesus to the man as our Savior (1 Tim. 2:5), and Christ to God’s anointed One (John 20:31).
The praise in 1:3 is deep and profound, encompassing the entire New Testament economy. Here we have not only creation, indicated by the title “God,” but also incarnation, indicated by the title “the God of our Lord Jesus Christ.” The first revelation of God in the Bible is in creation, for the Bible opens with the words, “In the beginning God created....” Following creation is the incarnation. One day God the Creator became incarnated as a man. The Word that was with God and was God became flesh (John 1:1, 14). When God Himself became a man, the God who created all things became His God. This is incarnation, not merely the greatness or mercy of God. Thus, in Ephesians 1:3 the God of our Lord Jesus Christ refers to incarnation.
If we know to praise God only for His mercy, we are still in a pitiful condition. This type of praise does not indicate that something of Him has come into us. Thus, we need to see that the very Creator, the God of Jesus Christ, has been incarnated as a man. He is also the life-imparting Father who imparts Himself as life into us that we may become His sons.God is no longer merely merciful to us. He is our God and our Father; and we are His sons, not only His creatures.
Oh, may the Lord open our eyes to see this! We need to speak well concerning God according to the New Testament economy. In our well-speaking we need to have the thought of incarnation, the impartation of life, and the heavenly, spiritual transmission. We also need to include the thought of Christ as the Lord and the Head and of Jesus being Jehovah our Savior to accomplish redemption and salvation for us. We also need to think of Christ as God’s anointed One who fully accomplishes God’s purpose. Our well-speaking, our high praise concerning God, should not be natural, but filled with the revelation of all the wonderful aspects of God’s New Testament economy.
