徒二二10『我說，主阿，我當作甚麼？主對我說，起來，進大馬色去，在那裏要將所派你作的一切事都告訴
你。』
二六18『我差你到他們那裏去，叫他們的眼睛得開，從黑暗轉入光中，從撒但權下轉向神，又因信入我，
得蒙赦罪，並在一切聖別的人中得着基業。』
〔在行傳九章六節〕掃羅悔改以後，主不願直接告訴他當作甚麼，因爲他需要基督身體的一個肢體，引他進入與這身體的聯合裏；他是直接因主得救並歸向主的，並不是間接經由任何管道。主若不從祂的身體差遣一個肢體去接觸他，祂身體的肢體就難以接受他（參26）。這與他對基督身體的認識，並以後爲基督的身體盡職有關（西一24）（聖經恢復本，徒九6 註1）。

行傳二十六章十八節是保羅所受託付的內容。…這裏叫人眼睛得開，乃是實現神的禧年，主悅納人的禧年，就是主耶穌在路加四章十八至二十一節照神新約的經綸所宣揚的。…新約禧年屬靈和神聖的福分，也就是神福音的福分，其中第一項就是叫墮落的人眼睛得開，從黑暗轉入光中，使他們能在屬靈的範圍裏看見神聖的事。要看見這些事，需要屬靈的視力和神聖的光。
行傳二十六章十八節不僅說到眼睛得開，也說到從黑暗轉入光中，從撒但權下轉向神。這個轉就是我們所說的轉移。從黑暗轉入光中，就是從黑暗轉移到光裏面；從撒但權下轉向神，就是從撒但的權勢下，轉移到神裏面。這是何等大的轉移！
黑暗是罪和死的標記；光是義和生命的標記（約一4，八12）。撒但的權勢就是撒但的國，這國屬於黑暗（太十二26）。撒但是這世界的王（約十二31），也是空中掌權者的首領（弗二2）。他有他的權勢和他的使者（太二五41），就是他的從屬，作這黑暗世界的執政者、掌權者和管轄者（弗六12）。因此，他有他的國，就是黑暗的權勢（西一13）。
按照行傳二十六章十八節，我們是從撒但權下轉向神。實際上，轉向神就是轉向神的權柄，也就是轉向神那屬於光的國。先前我們是在黑暗裏，是在撒但的權下。但我們已經從黑暗和撒但權下轉移出來，轉入光與神裏面。
黑暗實際上就是撒但的權勢。甚麼時候我們在黑暗裏，我們就在撒但權下。光就是神自己（約壹一5），所以，當我們在光中，我們就在神裏面。撒但與黑暗怎樣是一，神與光也照樣是一。我們所得着的最大轉移，乃是從黑暗轉入光中。在行傳二十一章，雅各題倡猶太教老舊的事物。他這樣作，乃是在黑暗裏。雅各對保羅說，『弟兄，你看猶太人中信主的有多少萬，並且都爲律法熱心。』（20）這話是在黑暗裏說的，指明雅各自己瞎眼且在黑暗裏。因爲他在黑暗裏，他也在撒但的權下。這樣說雅各並不是太苛刻。
保羅必然不是瞎眼，但他在二十一章有被拖回到黑暗裏的危險。實際上，他與別人在殿裏要完成拿細耳人之願的那些日子，乃是在黑暗裏（使徒行傳生命讀經，六八八至六九○頁）。

Acts 22:10 "And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said to me, Rise up and go into Damascus,
and there it will be told to you concerning all the things which have been appointed to you to
do."
26:18 "To open their eyes, to turn them from darkness to light and from the authority of Satan to God,
that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who have been
sanctified by faith in Me."
[In Acts 9:6] the Lord would not directly tell Saul immediately after his conversion what He wanted him to do. This was because he needed a member of His Body to initiate him into identification with the Body, for he had been saved and brought to the Lord directly by Him, not indirectly through any
channel. Unless a member of His Body had been sent by the Lord to contact him, it would have been difficult for any member of the Body to receive Saul (cf.v. 26). This is related to Saul's knowledge concerning the Body of Christ and to his ministry for the Body of Christ later (Col. 1:24). (Acts 9:6, footnote 1)
Today's Reading
In Acts 26:18 we have the contents of Paul's commission.... Here the opening of people's eyes is the carrying out of the fulfillment of God's jubilee, the acceptable year of the Lord, proclaimed by the Lord Jesus in Luke 4:18-21 according to God's New Testament economy....The first item of the spiritual
and divine blessings of the New Testament jubilee, which are the blessings of the gospel of God, is to open the eyes of those who are fallen and turn them from darkness to light so that they may see the divine things in the spiritual realm. To see these things requires spiritual sight and divine light.
Acts 26:18 speaks not only of the opening of the eyes but also of the turn from darkness to light and from the authority of Satan to God. This turn is what we mean by a transfer. To turn from darkness to light is to have a transfer from darkness into light, and to turn from the authority of Satan to God is to be transferred out of the authority of Satan into God. What a great transfer this is!
Darkness is a sign of sin and death; light is a sign of righteousness and life (John 1:4; 8:12). The authority of Satan is Satan's kingdom (Matt. 12:26), which belongs to darkness. Satan is the ruler of this world (John 12:31) and the ruler of the power of the air (Eph. 2:2). He has his authority and his
angels (Matt. 25:41), who are his subordinates as principalities, powers, and rulers of the darkness of this world (Eph. 6:12). Hence, Satan has his kingdom, the authority of darkness (Col. 1:13).
According to Acts 26:18, we are transferred from the authority of Satan to God. Actually, to be transferred to God is to be transferred to the authority of God, which is God's kingdom belonging to light. Formerly we were in darkness and under the authority of Satan. But we have been transferred out
of darkness and the authority of Satan into light and God.
Darkness is actually the authority of Satan. Whenever we are in darkness, we are under the satanic authority. Light is God Himself (1 John 1:5). Therefore, when we are in the light, we are in God. Just as Satan and darkness are one, so God and light are one. The greatest transfer we can have is the transfer from darkness to light.
In chapter 21 of Acts James was promoting the old things of Judaism.When he was doing this, he was in darkness. James said to Paul, "You observe, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews who have believed; and all are zealous for the law" (21:20). This word was spoken in darkness, and it indicates that James himself was blind and in darkness. Because he was in darkness, he was also under the authority of Satan. It is not too severe to say this concerning James.
Paul certainly was not blind. However, in Acts 21 he was in danger of being pulled back into darkness. Actually, for the days he was in the temple with the others for the completion of the Nazarite vow, he was in darkness.(Life-study of Acts, pp. 599-601)
