奴仆救主福音服事的行动(十)

The Move of the Slave-Savior’s Gospel Service (10)
1读经:8:27—9:13。马可福音最重要的点
1Scripture Reading: Mark 8:27—9:13 THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE GOSPEL OF MARK
2马可八章二十七节至九章十三节启示主的身位和祂死与复活的奥秘。我们可以说,这里所记载的是马可福音最重要的点。本福音的记载在这里达到高峰。在八章,奴仆救主在伯赛大医治一个瞎子。主在这个医治的事例中所作的,比祂在其他事例中所作的更多。例如,马可福音第一个医治的事例是医治彼得的岳母。这次医治作得很轻省。主只到她那里,拉著她的手,扶她起来,烧就退了,她就服事他们。(一31。)本卷书从这次初步的医治,逐步往前,直到七章暴露人的心,就是人内里的光景。
2In 8:27—9:13 we have a revelation of the mystery of the Lord’s Person and His death and resurrection. We may say that what is recorded here is the highlight of the Gospel of Mark. Here the account in this Gospel reaches its peak. In chapter eight the Slave-Savior healed a blind man at Bethsaida. The Lord did more in this case of healing than in any of the other cases. For example, the first instance of healing in the Gospel of Mark is the healing of Peter’s mother-in-law. This healing was easily carried out. The Lord simply came to her and raised her up, holding her hand. Then the fever left her, and she served them (1:31). From that initial healing, this book progresses step by step until we have in chapter seven the exposure of man’she art, the exposure of man’sin ward condition
3主耶稣暴露人心里的光景后,就启示祂是饼,是我们生命的供应。祂不仅是赦罪的神,也是我们的医生、新郎、今日的大卫和释放者,祂又是𫗪养者和饼。主揭示祂自己是滋养我们内里生命的饼之后,就有一段记载论到专一的医治,就是医治耳聋舌结的人,他的耳朵与舌头得了医治,以及瞎子的眼睛得著医治。我们可以这样说,在专一的医治之后,就产生了一个完整的人,他的器官已经得到专一的医治。现今这个人准备好了,有资格接受基督身位和祂死与复活的启示。主耶稣为了启示祂的身位、钉死与复活,特意把门徒从宗教的领域带到该撒利亚腓立比。祂在路上问门徒说,『人说我是谁?』(八。)他们回答后,主进一步问他们说,『你们说我是谁?』(29。)这时彼得看见耶稣是基督的异象,就宣告说,『你是基督。』
3After exposing the condition of man’she art, the Lord Jesus revealed that He is bread, our life supply. He is not only the forgiving God, but our Physician, the Bridegroom, today’s David, and the Emancipator. He is also both the Feeder and the bread. After the Lord’sun veiling of Himself as the bread to nourish us inwardly, we have the record of healings that are carried out in a particular way. We have the healing of the ears and the tongue of a deaf and dumb man and also the healing of the eyes of a blind man. After these particular healings, we may say that we have a complete person whose organs have been healed in a particular way. Now this one is prepared and qualified to receive the revelation of Christ’s Person and His death and resurrection. For the purpose of revealing His Person, death, and resurrection, the Lord Jesus brought His disciples away from the religious region to Caesarea Philippi. While on the way, He questioned His disciples, saying, “Who do men say that I am?” (8:27). After they responded, the 27 Lord further questioned them, “But you, who do you say that I am?” (v. 29). At this point Peter saw the vision that Jesus is the Christ, and he declared, “You are the Christ!”
4在该撒利亚腓立比的启示,是马可福音最高的一层,也就是高峰。主将门徒带到该撒利亚腓立比以前,他们的眼睛已经得了医治。因此,他们的视力不是为了看见凡俗或物质的事物,乃是为了看见神圣奥秘的事物。他们的眼睛得开,专一的看见基督,祂包罗万有的死,和祂奇妙的复活。在神圣奥秘的范围里,最要紧的是基督与祂死而复活的启示。
4The revelation given at Caesarea Philippi is the highest step, the peak, in the book of Mark. Before the disciples were brought by the Lord to Caesarea Philippi, their eyes were healed. Therefore, they had the sight to see not common things or material things, but to see mysterious, divine things. In particular, their eyes were opened to see Christ, His all-inclusive death, and His marvelous resurrection. In the realm of mysterious, divine things, the revelation concerning Christ and His death and resurrection is foremost.
对天然的人来说是个奥秘
A MYSTERY TO THE NATURAL MAN
5神圣奥秘之事的范围,对天然的人1完全是隐藏的。保罗在林前二章告诉我们,天然的人不能领会这个范围里的事,『然而属魂的人不领受神的灵的事,因他以这些事为愚拙,并且他不能明白,因为这些事是凭灵看透的。』(14。)属魂的人是天然的人,他活在魂里,不活在灵里。这样的人不领受神的灵的事,反倒拒绝。
5The realm of mysterious, divine things is altogether hidden from the natural man. As Paul tells us in Corinthians 2, the natural man cannot apprehend the things in this realm: “A soulish man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he is not able to know them, because they are spiritually discerned” (v. 14). A soulish man is a natural man, one living in his soul, not in his spirit. Such a man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God. Rather, he rejects them.
6对于天然的人和天然的心思来说,主耶稣是一个奥秘。即使今天,有些犹太学者还在探讨耶稣是谁,也在探讨祂的钉十字架。因为基督的身位、祂的钉死与复活,都是神圣、奥秘范围里最高的事,所以甚至一些基督教神学教授也同犹太学者一样,没有看见这些异象。
6The Lord Jesus is a mystery to the natural man and the natural mind. Even today, certain Jewish scholars are studying who Jesus was. They are also studying His crucifixion. Because the Person of Christ and His death and resurrection are the topmost matters in the realm of mysterious, divine things, even some Christian professors of theology, as well as Jewish scholars, have not seen the vision concerning them
𫗪养与医治
FEEDING AND HEALING
7我们不该把马可福音仅仅当作故事书。这卷福音书的记载给我们看见,主耶稣如何作奴仆救主服事罪人。这种事奉从一章开始,一直到七章,主就在这一章暴露人心里的光景。我们可以说,在马可七章,奴仆救主作了外科医生,把我们的心剖开,暴露其中的光景。
7We should not regard the Gospel of Mark merely as a book of stories. This Gospel is a record showing us how the Lord Jesus as the Slave-Savior serves sinners. This service begins in chapter one and continues into chapter seven, where the Lord exposes the condition of man’she art. We may say that in Mark 7 the Slave- Savior conducts Himself as a surgeon, for He opens our heart and exposes its condition
8我们在七章看见,主不仅是神圣的外科医生,也是把自己当作饼𫗪养我们的一位。这指明我们基本的需要是饼,是生命的供应。奴仆救主不仅医治我们,复苏我们,把我们带回与神的交通里;祂也𫗪养我们,把自己当作饼𫗪养我们。祂自己就是我们生命的供应。
8In chapter seven we see the Lord not only as the divine Surgeon but also as the One who feeds us with Himself as bread. This indicates that our basic need is for bread, for the supply of life. The Slave- Savior not only heals us, recovers us, and brings us back into fellowship with God; He also feeds us, and He feeds us with Himself as bread. He Himself is our life supply
9我们首先经历主把自己当作饼𫗪养我们。我们得到祂的𫗪养,结果就自然而然经历祂专一的医治:祂医治了我们的耳聋、舌结和眼瞎。
9First we experience the Lord’s feeding us with Himself as bread. As the result of being fed by Him, spontaneously we experience His healing in a particular way: He heals our deaf ears, our dumb tongue, and our blindeyes.
基督并祂的死与复活
Christ and His death and resurrection
10我们需要把马可福音的各段合在一起,就像把拼图的小块拼起来一样。当每一片都拼在一起,我们就能看见一幅图画。我们在马可福音看见一幅描绘神所拣选之人的情形。这些人不只得了一般的医治,像彼得的岳母、长大痳疯的、和瘫子那样;他们的听觉、说话、与视觉器官也得了专一的医治。专一的医治与主的涂抹有关,这是由祂的唾沫所表征的。这班蒙拣选的人一旦接受了生命的供应,就是主作他们的饼,他们的器官就得了医治。结果,他们能听,能讲,也能看。他们的器官就正确的尽功用。所以,奴仆救主就在这个关头,把他们带到该撒利亚腓立比,这个属灵气氛晴朗的地方。
10We need to fit together various portions of the Gospel of Mark like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. When the individual pieces have been fitted together, we see a picture. In the Gospel of Mark we see a portrait of certain ones chosen by God. These ones are healed not only in a general way, like Peter’s mother-in-law, the leper, and the paralytic, but also in a particular way in the organs of hearing, speech, and sight. These specific healings involve the Lord’s anointing, as signified by His spittle. Once these chosen ones were nourished by receiving the life supply—the Lord as their bread— their organs were healed. As a result, they could hear, speak, and see. Their organs were functioning properly. Therefore, at this point the Slave-Savior brought them to Caesarea Philippi, to a place where the spiritual atmosphere was clear
11我们已经指出,主耶稣在该撒利亚腓立比向门徒们论到祂自己。祂对他们说话时,就把神圣奥秘的范围向他们开启。至少有一位门徒看见祂是基督;只是他所看见基督的身位是有限的,他也没有看见基督的死与复活。因这缘故,主接著告诉门徒,祂将要被钉十字架,并且死后要复活。主论到祂的死与复活时,就把这神圣奥秘的范围进一步的开启。祂不仅向门徒启示祂的身位,也向他们启示祂奇妙的死与超绝的复活。
11We have pointed out that in Caesarea Philippi the Lord Jesus spoke to the disciples concerning Himself. As He talked with them, He opened to them the realm of mysterious, divine things. At least one of His disciples came to see that He is the Christ. However, this one saw the Person of Christ only within certain limits. He did not see anything concerning Christ’s death and resurrection. For this reason, the Lord went on to tell His disciples that He would be crucified and that after His death, He would rise up. In speaking about His death and resurrection, the Lord further opened the realm of mysterious, divine things. He showed His disciples not only His Person; He also revealed to them His wonderful death and His marvelous resurrection
包罗万有的顶替
THE ALL-INCLUSIVE REPLACEMENT
12现在我们来到一件关键的事。我们必须看见,在神的眼中,宇宙中神以外的一切都需要顶替。基督同祂的死与复活,是宇宙中独一的顶替。祂是完整、包罗万有的顶替。基督同祂的死与复活,顶替了一切不是神自己的人事物。祂顶替了摩西,顶替了以利亚,也顶替了我们。祂顶替了我们的己、我们的魂、和我们的心思。这一位顶替了整个宇宙中的每一个人事物。故此我们说,祂是完整且包罗万有的顶替。
12Now we come to a crucial matter. We need to see that, in the sight of God, everything in the universe except Himself needs to be replaced. Christ with His death and resurrection is the unique replacement in the universe. He is the entire, all-inclusive replacement. Christ with His death and resurrection replaces everyone and everything that is not God Himself. He replaces Moses, He replaces Elijah, and He replaces us. He replaces our self, He replaces our soul, and He replaces our mind. This One replaces everyone else, everything, and every matter in the entire universe. This is the reason we say that He is the entire and all-inclusive replacement.
13当主耶稣向门徒启示祂的死与复活时,他们可能糊里糊涂。特别是彼得,更是不清楚;因此他甚至责劝主。(八32。)于是主也责备彼得说,『撒但,退我后面去罢!因为你不思念神的事,只思念人的事。』(33。)主接著说,『若有人要跟从我,就当否认己,背起他的十字架,并跟从我。』(34。)你晓得否认己是甚么意思么?否认己就是被基督顶替。主在这里似乎特别对彼得说,『你既然看见了基督,就要被祂顶替。你必须被摆在一边,让基督成为你。你要否认己,而让基督来顶替。』
13When the Lord Jesus revealed to His disciples the matters of His death and resurrection, they may have been confused. Peter, in particular, did not understand, and he went so far as to rebuke the Lord (v. 32). Then the Lord rebuked Peter, saying, “Go away, behind Me, Sat an, because you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of men!” (v. 33). The Lord went on to say, “If anyone wants to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me” (v. 34). Do you know what it means to deny ourselves? To deny ourselves is to be replaced by Christ. Here the Lord seems to be saying, especially to Peter, “Since you have seen Christ, you need to be replaced by Him. You must be put aside and allow Christ to become you. You need to deny yourself and be replaced by Christ.”
藉著死与复活
replaced by Christ
让基督顶替
THROUGH DEATH AND RESURRECTION
14我们怎样才能让基督顶替?我们只能藉著祂的死与复活被祂顶替。基督若不经过死与复活,就不能顶替我们。况且,我们也不可能被祂顶替。这种顶替,只能藉著基督的死与复活才能完成。
14How is it possible for us to be replaced by Christ? We can be replaced by Him only through His death and resurrection. Apart from His death and resurrection, Christ Himself would not be able to replace us. Also, it would not be possible for us to be replaced by Him. This replacement can be carried out only through Christ’s death and resurrection
15我们需要看见,我们必须否认己。我们该有愿意被顶替的态度。我们也需要看见,有一种顶替已经为我们豫备好了,就是基督。照保罗在加拉太二章二十节所说,现在活著的应该不再是我们,乃是基督在我们里面活著。我们活著,是照著败坏的心活著。我们照著自己而活,而我们里面有恶心。我们若要脱离里面的所是,脱离我们的恶心,就需要否认己。事实上,否认己就是藉著基督的死与复活,使我们被祂顶替。基督在十字架上的死包括了我们。这意思是说,当祂受死的时候,我们也与祂同死。现在,我们要领略这个事实,并且将其应用在我们的生活中。看见我们已经与基督同钉十字架,并将这事实应用到我们日常生活中,这就是背十字架。因此,背十字架的意思,就是承认我们已经被基督的死所了结,并将这个了结应用在我们身上。我们这样应用的
15We need to realize that it is necessary for us to deny our self. Our attitude should be of willingness to be replaced. We also need to see that a replacement has been prepared for us, and this replacement is Christ. In the words of Paul in Galatians 2:20, it should be no longer we who live, but Christ who lives in us. When we live, we live according to our corrupt heart. We live according to ourselves, and within us we have an evil heart. If we would be delivered from what we are in ourselves, from our evil heart, we need to deny ourselves. To deny ourselves actually means to be replaced by Christ through His death and resurrection. Christ’s death on the cross included us. This means that when He died, we died with Him. Now we need to realize this fact and apply it to our living. To see that we have been crucified with Christ and apply this fact to our living is to take the cross. Therefore, to take the cross means to admit that we have been terminated by Christ’s death and to apply this termination to ourselves. When we make this application, resurrection life comes in
16时候,复活的生命就进来了。
16
17在我们的日常生活中,钉死又复活的基督乃是赐生命的灵。基督复活的实际事实上就是赐生命的灵。当我们应用基督的十字架,基督复活的实际-生命的灵,就进来作我们真实的顶替。然后我们就能说,『我已经与基督同钉十字架;现在活著的,不再是我,乃是基督在我里面活著。』
17In our daily living, the crucified and resurrected Christ is the life-giving Spirit. The reality of Christ’s resurrection is actually the life - giving Spirit. Whenever we apply the cross of Christ, the life-giving Spirit, as the reality of Christ’s resurrection, comes in to be our real replacement. Then we are able to say, “I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live—Christ lives in me.”
神所要的
WHAT GOD WANTS
18你有没有看见马可八章二十七节至九章十三节所启示的?这里有基督身位和祂死与复活的启示。哦,我们都需要看见这个!我担心我们中间有些人还没有看见基督包罗万有的身位,祂奇妙的死,与祂超绝的复活这些要紧的事。我们如果看见了,就会说,『阿们!我向基督说阿们!向基督的死说阿们!向基督的复活说阿们!向我的了结说阿们!因为我已经了结了;现在活著的,不再是我,乃是基督在我里面活著。基督是宇宙整个的顶替。神不要摩西,神不要以利亚,神也不要我的所是。我对神只要基督这个事实说阿们。』
18Have you seen what is revealed in 8:27—9:13? Here we have a revelation of Christ’s Person and His death and resurrection. Oh, we all need to see this! I am concerned that some of us have not seen the crucial matters of Christ’sa ll-inclusive Person, His wonderful death, and His marvelous resurrection. If we see them, we shall say, “Amen! Amen to Christ! Amen to the death of Christ! Amen to the resurrection of Christ! Amen to my termination! Because I have been terminated, it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. Christ is the entire replacement in this universe. God does not want Moses, God does not want Elijah, and God does not want me in what I am. I say amen to the fact that God only wants Christ
19神不要我们在自己里面的一切所是。祂不要我们的肉体,也不要我们败坏的心。神只要基督,因为基督是独一、包罗万有的顶替。神在九章七节宣告:『这是我的爱子,你们要听祂。』我们要听祂,不要听自己。我们不该听自己的心思、情感或意志。我们不应该听我们所思想、幻想或喜爱的,我们只该听基督。基督是神所爱、所喜的。祂是顶替一切人事物的那一位。因此,祂应该在我们的生活中得著完全的地位。我们应该将生活中的每一件事交给祂。
19God does not want whatever we are in ourselves. He does not want our flesh, and He does not want our heart in its corruption. God only wants Christ, for Christ is the unique, all-inclusive replacement. In 9:7 God declared, “This is My Son, the Beloved. Hear Him!” We need to hear Him, not ourselves. We should not listen to our mind, emotion, or will. We should not listen to what we think, imagine, or love. We should listen to Christ. Christ is God’s Beloved, God’s Favorite. He is the One who replaces everyone else and everything. Therefore, He should have all the ground in our living. Everything in our living should be given over to Him
藉著基督的死与复活,而活基督
LIVING CHRIST through His death and resurrection
20基督这顶替我们的一位,已经被钉死了。祂在十字架上的死是包罗万有的,这死包括了我们,也了结了我们。基督这样死了以后,又复活了。如今祂在复活里是赐生命的灵,作我们生命的实际。当我们应用祂的死了结自己时,那灵就有完全的地位,使基督对我们是真实的。这样,我们就享受真正的顶替。结果,我们能宣告说,我们已经与基督同钉十字架,现在活著的,不再是我们,乃是基督在我们里面活著。我们甚至可以同保罗说,『因为在我,活著就是基督。』(腓一21。)我们在凡事上,无论是生、
20As the One who is our replacement, Christ has been crucified. On the cross He died an all-inclusive death, a death that included us and terminated us. After dying such a death, Christ was resurrected. Now in resurrection He is the life-giving Spirit to be the reality of our life. When we apply His death as our termination, the Spirit has the full ground to make Christ real to us. Then we enjoy a real replacement. As a result, we can declare that we have been crucified with Christ and that we live no longer, but Christ lives in us. We can even say with Paul, “To me to live is Christ” (Phil. 1:21). In everything, whether in death or life, we live Christ and magnify Him (Phil. 1:20
21是死,都活基督,显大基督。(20。)

22我们若要解释马可八章和九章这几节,就需要保罗所写的十四封书信。我们因著这些书信的帮助,就能看见马可头八章半的图画。愿我们对这幅图画有深刻的印象,使我们永志不忘!赞美主,这幅图画包括了我们!我们藉著基督的死与复活,在神圣的范围里活基督。何等的奇妙!我们要为著马可福音这个最重要的点赞美主,在这里我们得著基督同祂死与复活的启示!
22In order to interpret these verses from chapters eight and nine of the Gospel of Mark, we need the fourteen Epistles written by Paul. With the help of these Epistles, we can see the picture in the first eight and a half chapters of Mark. May we be so deeply impressed with this picture that we never forget it! Praise the Lord that this picture includes us! We are in a divine realm living Christ through His death and resurrection. How wonderful! Praise the Lord for this highlight in the Gospel of Mark, the place where we have a revelation of Christ with His death and resurrection
