徒二六16『你起來站着，我向你顯現，正是要選定你作執事和見證人，將你所看見我的事，和我將要顯現給你的事，見證出來。』
二二14『…我們祖宗的神豫先選定了你，叫你認識祂的旨意，又得見那義者，且得聽祂口中所出的聲音。』
保羅在他所經過一切的審訊中，不僅在施教或盡職，更不斷在作見證。他在反對的猶太人和羅馬兵丁的千夫長面前是見證，在猶太總督腓力斯和他的繼任者非斯都面前也是見證。如今在行傳二十六章我們看見，保羅在亞基帕面前，再次是活的見證人。保羅不是對亞基帕傳講說，『亞基帕王阿，你必須知道我是基督的見證人。』保羅沒有這樣說，他乃是向亞基帕見證主遇見了他，並且選定他作執事和見證人（使徒行傳生命讀經，六八二頁）。
信息選讀
〔在行傳二十六章十六節〕裏『你所看見我的事』，以及『我將要顯現給你的事』，含『你在這些事中曾看見我』，並『我要在這些事中向你顯現』的意思。在這裏保羅乃是說，主選定他作執事和見證人，爲要將主已經啓示保羅的事，和主將要啓示他的事，見證出來。雖然保羅的意思是這樣，但他不是這樣來陳明這事。這一節乃是說，保羅在一些事中曾看見過主，主也要在一些事中向他顯現。
十六節指明，保羅並非領受一些事的啓示而沒有看見基督；反之，他乃是在所領受的事中看見基督。換句話說，凡基督向保羅啓示的事，莫不是以祂自己作那些事的內容。這就是保羅要將他所看見主的事見證出來的原因。在保羅所看見的一切異象中，他看見了基督。不僅如此，他也要將主所要顯現給他的事，見證出來。這裏主似乎對保羅說，『在你將要領受的一切異象和啓示中，我都要向你顯現。』這指明如果我們只看見異象和啓示，而沒有看見主，那我們所看見的就是虛空。
我們不贊成僅僅用神學的方式來研讀聖經。這樣研讀聖經的人，可能學習了神學，但他們沒有看見基督。研讀聖經來學習神學，與研讀聖經爲要看見基督大不相同。
當保羅在往大馬色去的路上，基督向他啓示了一些事，而保羅在那些事中看見了基督。主指明祂要向保羅啓示更多的事，在那些事中，主自己也要向他顯現。所以，保羅所看見的不僅是事情本身，更是基督在這一切事中向他顯現了。
你在經歷中可能宣稱從主領受了亮光，或者看見了異象或啓示。然而，你需要想想，基督有否在那亮光、異象或啓示中向你顯現。在你所認爲的亮光、異象或啓示中，你看見了基督麼？
在我們從主領受的任何亮光中，我們都必須看見基督。凡我們所看見的，不論是光照、異象或啓示，都
必須有基督向我們顯現。如果我們看見一個異象而沒有看見基督，那異象就沒有意義。同樣的，如果我們
研讀聖經，獲得聖經知識而沒有看見基督，那知識就是虛空的。我們都需要學習在所啓示我們的事中看見
基督（使徒行傳生命讀經，六八二至六八四頁）。
在新約中頭一次題到身體是在羅馬十二章五節。按照十二章，我們必須爲着基督奧祕的身體（5），獻上我們肉身的身體（1）。當我們獻上我們肉身的身體，並在心思裏得更新的時候，我們就看見、分辨並驗證，神的旨意乃是要爲基督得着一個身體，作祂的豐滿和彰顯（2）（神聖啓示的中心路線，三一三至三一四頁）。

WEEK 1 — DAY 4
Morning Nourishment
Acts 26:16 "But rise up and stand on your feet; for I have appeared to you for this purpose, to appoint
you as a minister and a witness both of the things in which you have seen Me and of the
things in which I will appear to you."
22:14 "...The God of our fathers has previously appointed you to know His will and to see the righteous
One and to hear the voice from His mouth."
In all the trials through which he passed Paul was not merely teaching or ministering; he was continually bearing a testimony. He was a testimony before the opposing Jews and before the commander of the Roman soldiers. Paul was a testimony before Felix, the governor of Judea, and before Festus,who succeeded Felix as governor. Now in Acts 26 we see that Paul is once again a living witness, this time before Agrippa. However, Paul did not preach to Agrippa saying, "King Agrippa, you must know that I am a witness of Christ." Instead of speaking this way, Paul testified to Agrippa that the Lord had met him and appointed him a minister and a witness. (Life-study of Acts, p. 595)
Today's Reading
Notice that [in Acts 26:16] the phrase "in which" is used twice. Here Paul is saying that the Lord had appointed him a minister and a witness of the things He revealed to Paul and of the things He would reveal to him. Although this is Paul's meaning, this is not the way he presented the matter. Rather, this verse speaks of the things in which Paul had seen the Lord and of the things in which the Lord would yet appear to him.
Acts 26:16 indicates that Paul did not receive the revelation of things without seeing Christ. Instead, he received the things in which he saw Christ. In other words, Christ did not reveal things to Paul without Himself as the content of those things. This is the reason that Paul would be a witness of the things in which he had seen the Lord. In all the visions Paul saw he saw Christ. Furthermore, he would be a witness of the things in which the Lord was yet to appear to him. Here the Lord seemed to be saying to Paul, "In all the visions and revelations you will receive, I shall appear to you." This indicates that if we only see visions and revelations and do not see the Lord, then what we see is vanity.
We do not agree with studying the Bible merely in a theological way. Those who study the Bible in this way may learn theology, but they do not see Christ. There is a great difference between studying the Bible to learn theology and studying the Bible in order to see Christ.
As Paul was on the way to Damascus, Christ revealed certain things to him, and in those things Paul saw Christ. The Lord indicated that He would reveal more things to Paul, and in those things the Lord Himself would appear to him. Therefore, what Paul saw was not merely the things themselves, but Christ as the One appearing in all these things.
In your experience you may claim to receive light from the Lord or to see a vision or revelation. However, you need to consider if Christ has appeared to you in that light, vision, or revelation. In the supposed light, vision, or revelation, have you seen Christ?
In any light we receive of the Lord we must see Christ. Christ must appear to us in whatever we see in the way of enlightenment, vision, or revelation. If we see a vision without seeing Christ, that vision means nothing. Likewise, if we study the Bible and gain knowledge of the Scriptures without seeing
Christ, that knowledge is vanity. We all need to learn to see Christ in the things that are revealed to us. (Life-study of Acts, pp. 595-597)
The first mentioning of the Body in the New Testament is in Romans 12:5. According to Romans 12, we must present our physical bodies (v. 1) for the mystical Body of Christ (v. 5). When we present our bodies and are renewed in our mind, we see, discern, and prove by testing that the will of God is to
obtain a Body for Christ to be His fullness and expression (v. 2). (The Central Line of the Divine Revelation, p. 268)
