The entire Bible is the holy revelation of God.

[jidong xiao]

约翰的著作包括他的福音书、三封书信与启示录。这些著作在圣经神完满的启示中，占有特殊且显著的地位。约翰在他的福音书、书信和启示录中所写的，乃是奥秘的事。这些事是神圣的，所以是奥秘的。因此我们需要看见，约翰的著作完全是神圣事物的启示。

整本圣经当然是神的神圣启示。圣经不是照着人的心思或思想写的，整本圣经乃是用人的语言所写的神圣启示。然而，重要的是我们要晓得，约翰的著作特别是这样，因为他的著作论到神圣的事物。

因着约翰写到神圣的事，这些事就必须启示给我们。人天然的心思不可能猜测或推论出约翰著作向我们所揭示的；约翰著作中所启示的，远超过我们人的理解。因此，这里没有猜测或推论的余地。我们的心思无法领会、理解约翰著作中所启示的神圣事物。约翰福音、约翰的三封书信和启示录，启示那些超过我们所能想像的事物。我们甚至无法了解这些事物，更不要说推论这些事。因着约翰的著作是论到神圣的事物，我们无法用我们天然的心思想像其中的内容。惟有藉着神圣的启示，约翰著作中神圣的事物才能向我们开启。

John's writings include his Gospel, his three Epistles, and his Revelation. These writings occupy a particular and striking place in the full revelation of God in the Bible. In his Gospel, Epistles, and Revelation John writes of things that are mysterious. These things are mysterious because they are divine. Therefore, we need to see that John's writings are altogether a revelation of divine things. 

The entire Bible, of course, is the holy revelation of God. The Bible was not written according to man's mind or according to human thought. Rather, the whole Bible is the divine revelation written in human language. Nevertheless, it is important for us to realize that this is especially true of John's writings, writings that are concerned with divine things. 

Our Need for Revelation Because John writes about divine things, it is necessary that these things be revealed to us. It is not possible for the natural human mentality to guess or infer what John's writings unveil to us. Whatever is revealed in the writings of John is far beyond our human comprehension. Hence, there is no room here for guessing or inference. Our mentality cannot grasp, lay hold of, the divine things revealed in John's writings. The Gospel of John, the three Epistles of John, and the book of Revelation reveal matters that are beyond our ability to imagine. We cannot even conceive of these things, much less make inferences regarding them. Because John's writings are of what is divine, we cannot with our natural mentality imagine what they contain. Only through divine revelation can the divine things in John's writings be revealed to us.
