人救主的死（三）

The Death of the Man-Savior (3)
1读经：路加福音23:26-56。人救主包罗万有的死
1Scripture Reading: Luke 23:26-56 THE MAN-SAVIOR’SA LL-INCLUSIVE DEATH
2我们在前一篇信息已经看见，人救主被神置于死地，作了我们的代替，作了我们的救赎主。现在我们需要来看，主耶稣的死乃是包罗万有的死。祂在十字架上的死不仅是代死，也是包罗万有的死。因为人救主是位包罗万有者，所以祂在十字架上的死乃是包罗万有的死。现在我们要来看主包罗万有的死不同的各面。
2We have seen in the foregoing message that the Man-Savior was put to death as our Substitute, as our Redeemer, by God. Now we need to see that the Lord Jesus died an all-inclusive death. His death on the cross was not merely vicarious; it was also all- inclusive. Because the Man-Savior is an all-inclusive Person, on the cross He died an all-inclusive death. Let us now go on to consider different aspects of the Lord’sa ll-inclusive death
神的羔羊
The Lamb of God
3根据整本新约的记载，人救主是以七种身分死在十字架上。第一，祂是以神羔羊的身分受死，对付罪（罪性）与诸罪（罪行）。约翰一章二十九节，『看哪，神的羔羊，除去世人之罪的！』这里的1世人是指人类。从林前十五章三节，彼前二章二十四节和希伯来九章二十八节，我们看见主耶稣作神的羔羊，是为我们的诸罪（罪行）受死。此外，根据林后五章二十一节和希伯来九章二十六节，祂的死是对付罪（罪性）。所以，罪（罪性）与诸罪（罪行）都被那在十
3According to the record of the entire New Testament, when the Man-Savior died on the cross, He died as seven items. First, He died as the Lamb of God to deal with sin and sins. John 1:29 says, “Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” Here the world denotes mankind. From 1 Corinthians 15:3, Peter 2:24, and Hebrews 9:28 we see that as the Lamb of God the Lord Jesus died for our sins. Furthermore, according to 2 Corinthians 5:21 and Hebrews 9:26, His death dealt with sin. Therefore, both sin and sins were dealt with by the Lamb of God, who was under God’s judgment on the cross.

4A Man in the Flesh
5字架上受神审判之神的羔羊对付了。在肉体里的人

6当人救主死在十字架上时，祂也是一个在肉体里的人。祂是那与神同在且就是神的话，成了肉体。（约一1，14）彼前三章十八节告诉我们：『在肉体里祂被治死。』祂是在肉体里的人，不过祂只有堕落之人的样式、形状，却没有堕落之人的性情。这就是说，祂乃是在罪之肉体的样式里，（罗八3，）祂并没有真正罪的性情。因为人救主是一个在肉体里的人受死，所以祂的死对付了堕落的肉体。赞美主！罪性、罪行和堕落的肉体，都被人救主的死所对付了。
6When the Man-Savior died on the cross, He also died as a man in the flesh. As the Word which was with God and which is God, He became flesh (John 1:1, 14). First Peter 3:18 tells us that He was “put to death in flesh.” As a man in the flesh, He had only the likeness, the form, of a fallen man; He did not have the nature of a fallen man. This means that He was in the likeness of the flesh of sin (Rom. 8:3), but He did not have the actual nature of sin. Because the Man-Savior died as a man in the flesh, His death dealt with the fallen flesh. Praise the Lord that sin, sins, and the fallen flesh have been dealt with by the death of the Man-Savior
在旧造里的人
A Man in the Old Creation
7主耶稣死的时候，也是一个在旧造里的人。因这缘故，罗马六章六节说，我们的旧人已经与祂同钉十字架。因为主死在十架上，是一个在旧造里的人，所以我们的旧人藉著祂的死就受了对付。
7The Lord Jesus also died as a man in the old creation. This is the reason Romans 6:6 says that our old man was crucified with Him. Because the Lord died on the cross as a man in the old creation, our old man was dealt with through His death.
蛇
The Serpent
8我们听到人救主甚至是一条蛇死在十字架上，可能会大大惊奇。『摩西在旷野怎样举蛇，人子也必照样被举起来，叫一切相信祂的都得永远的生命。』(约三14～。)这里主耶稣将摩西在旷野举铜蛇的豫表，应用在祂自己身上。民二一4～9。)
8It may come as a great surprise to hear that the Man- Savior died on the cross even as the serpent. “As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up; that everyone who believes in Him may have eternal life” (John 3:14-15). Here the Lord Jesus applies to Himself the type of 15 the brass serpent lifted up by Moses in the wilderness (Num. 21:4-9). (
9毫无疑问，主耶稣以蛇的身份（只有蛇的形状）钉十字架，是为要对付撒但魔鬼，就是古蛇。我们是堕落的人类，都被这条蛇咬过。你知道我们甚么时候被咬？亚当被蛇咬，中了蛇毒的时候，我们就在伊甸园里被咬了。所以，我们的救主必须以蛇的身分（只有蛇的形状）钉十字架，为要对付古蛇。主耶稣乃是以蛇的身分钉十字架，藉此伤了古蛇魔鬼的头。（创三15。）祂乃是这样审判了这世界的王。约翰十二章三十一节论到这点说，『现在这世界受审判，这世界的王要被赶出去。』人救主藉著在十字架上受死，废除了那掌死权的魔鬼。（来二14。）所以，人救主以蛇的身分受神的审判而死，就对付了魔鬼和他的世界，那属撒但的系统。
9No doubt, the Lord Jesus was crucified as a serpent in form in order to deal with Satan, the Devil, the old serpent. As fallen human beings, we all have been bitten by this serpent. Do you know when we were bitten? We were bitten in the Garden of Eden when Adam was bitten by the serpent and poisoned by him. Therefore, it was necessary for our Savior to be crucified as the serpent in form in order to deal with the old serpent. It was through being crucified as the serpent that the Lord Jesus crushed the head of the old serpent, the Devil (Gen. 3:15). In this way, He judged the ruler of this world. Concerning this, John 12:31 says, “Now is the judgment of this world; now shall the ruler of this world be cast out.” By His death on the cross, the Man-Savior destroyed the Devil, who had the power of death (Heb. 2:14). Therefore, as the One who died as a serpent under God’s judgment, the Man-Savior dealt with the Devil and with his world, the satanic system
一切受造之物的首生者
The Firstborn of All Creation
10主耶稣死在十字架上时，也是一切受造之物的首生者。（西一15。）就著祂的人性说，基督是神所造之物的第一项。当祂死在十字架上的时候，祂也是旧造的第一项。因此，藉著祂在十字架上的死，整个旧造都受了对付。
10When the Lord Jesus died on the cross, He died as the Firstborn of all creation (Col. 1:15). With respect to His humanity, Christ was the first item of God’s creation. When He died on the cross, He died as this first item of the old creation. Hence, through His death on the cross the entire old creation was dealt with
成就和平者
The Peacemaker
11在以弗所二章十四、十五节，我们看见基督乃是以成就和平者的身分受死；『因祂自己是我们的和平，将两下作成一个，折毁了中间隔断的墙，就是仇恨，在祂的肉体里，废掉了那规条中诫命的律法，好把两下在祂自己里面，创造成一个新人，成就了和平。』在这里我们看见，基督死在十字架上，就废掉了人类中间所有的规条。祂受死特别是要除去犹太人和外邦人的间隔。不只犹太人和外邦人有间隔，每个国家和种族也都有间隔。这些间隔不除去，我们就无法在主耶稣里成为一，作祂的身体。赞美主，所有的规条都被人救主在十字架上废掉了！现今在召会生活里，我们有不同种族、肤色和国籍的人。
11In Ephesians 2:14 and 15 we see that Christ died as the Peacemaker, as the One who makes peace: “For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of partition, the enmity, having abolished in His flesh the law of the commandments in ordinances, that He might create the two in Himself into one new man, making peace.” Here we see that Christ died on the cross to abolish all the ordinances among mankind. In particular, He died to take away the partition between the Jews and the Gentiles. Not only was there a partition between Jews and Gentiles; there were also partitions between every nationality and race. Without the removal of these partitions, there would be no way for us to be one in the Lord Jesus as His Body. Praise the Lord that all the ordinances were abolished by the Man-Savior on the cross! Now in the church life we have people of all races, colors, and nationalities.
一粒麦子
A Grain of Wheat
12末了，基督死在十字架上，乃是一粒麦子：『我实实在在的告诉你们，一粒麦子不落在地里死了，仍旧是一粒；若是死了，就结出许多子粒来。』（约十二24）主乃是一粒麦子死在十字架上，为要从祂里面释放出神圣的生命。
12Finally, Christ died on the cross as a grain of wheat: “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it abides alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit” (John 12:24). The Lord died on the cross as a grain of wheat in order to release the divine life from within Him
13新约启示主耶稣以七种身分死在十字架上：神的羔羊、在肉体里的人、旧造的人、蛇、受造之物的首生者、成就和平者、以及一粒麦子。这不仅是我们的话，更是圣经所启示的。我们需要宣告这个事实：根据神的话，人救主乃是以这七种身分受死。
13The New Testament reveals that the Lord Jesus died on the cross as seven items: the Lamb of God, a man in the flesh, a man of the old creation, the serpent, the Firstborn of creation, the Peacemaker, and a grain of wheat. This is not merely our word; this is what the Bible reveals. We need to proclaim the fact that, according to the Word of God, the Man-Savior died as these seven items
包罗万有者的死
The Death of an All-inclusive Person
14基督的死是包罗万有的死，因为祂是一位包罗万有者。比方说，一国之君死了，就是一位具有人和君王这双重身分的人死了。主耶稣作我们的代替，有七重身分，所以祂受死时乃是神的羔羊、在肉体里的人、旧造的人、蛇、一切所造之物的首生者、成就和平者、以及一粒麦子。这样一位包罗万有者的死，乃是包罗万有的死。因为主的死是包罗有的，因此当祂死在十字架上时，许多事物就受了对付。罪性、罪行、肉体、旧人、撒但、世界、旧造、和规条都受了对付。不仅如此，神圣的生命连同神圣的丰富也从主耶稣里面得了释放。祂包罗万有的死除去了一切消极的事物，并释放出一切积极的事物。路加二十三章四十四、四十五节说，『那时约到正午，遍地都黑暗了，直到午后三时，日头不发光，殿里的幔子也从当中裂开。』这里的黑暗和罪有关，而幔子是主耶稣的豫表。希伯来十章二十节说，『是藉著祂给我们开创了一条又新又活的路，从幔子经过，这幔子就是祂的肉体。』基督死时所裂开的幔子，上面绣著基路伯，这些基路伯代表受造的活物。这指明基督在祂的肉体里带著一切受造之物。殿里的幔子裂开时，上面所绣的基路伯也裂开了。这就是说，当基督的肉体钉十字架时，祂所带著的一切受造之物也钉了十字架。藉著基督的死，罪性、罪行、肉体、以及一切受造之物都受了对付。
14Christ died an all-inclusive death because He is an all- inclusive Person. For example, if the king of a certain country were to die, a person with a twofold status— a man and a king—would die. As our Substitute, the Lord Jesus had a sevenfold status and therefore died as the Lamb of God, a man in the flesh, a man of the old creation, the serpent, the Firstborn of all creation, the Peacemaker, and a grain of wheat. Such an all - inclusive Person died an all-inclusive death. Because the Lord’s death was all-inclusive, when He died on the cross many things were dealt with. Sin, sins, the flesh, the old man, Satan, the world, the old creation, and the ordinances were all dealt with. Furthermore, the divine life with the divine riches was released from within the Lord Jesus. His all-inclusive death took away all the negative things and released all the positive things. Luke 23:44 and 45 say, “And it was already about the sixth hour, and darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour, the sun’slight failing; and the veil of the temple was torn down the middle.” The darkness here is related to sin, and the veil is a type of the flesh of the Lord Jesus. Hebrews 10:20 speaks of “a new and living way, which He dedicated for us through the veil, that is, His flesh.” On the veil that was rent when Christ died cherubim were embroidered. These cherubim represent the living creatures. This indicates that in His flesh Christ bore all the creatures. When the veil in the temple was torn, the cherubim embroidered on it were also torn. This means that when the flesh of Christ was crucified, all the creatures borne by Him were crucified as well. Through the death of Christ sin, sins, the flesh, and all the creatures were all dealt with.
一次永远的成就了
Accomplished Once for All
15基督包罗万有的死，乃是一次永远的成就了，祂不需要再死一次。主包罗万有的死是永远的。我们若看见这点，就会赞美主，罪性、罪行、肉体、旧人、撒但、世界、旧造、和规条已经受了对付，神圣的丰富已经得著释放，并分赐给我们。现今藉著主包罗万有的死，我们乃是禧年的子民。
15The all-inclusive death of Christ was accomplished once for all. There is no need for Him to die again. The Lord’sa ll-inclusive death is eternal. If we see this, we shall praise the Lord that sin, sins, the flesh, the old man, Satan, the world, the old creation, and the ordinances have been dealt with, and the divine riches have been released and imparted to us. Now through the Lord’sa ll-inclusive death we are people of the jubilee
被葬以尊贵的方式
BURIED In a Dignified Way
16路加二十三章五十至五十六节说到人救主的埋葬。五十至五十二节说，『看哪，有一个人名叫约瑟，是个议士，为人善良公义；众人所谋所为，这人并没有附和；他本是犹太亚利马太城里，素来盼望神国的人。这人到彼拉多跟前来，求耶稣的身体。』在主成就了祂包罗万有的死之后，祂受苦的处境立刻变为尊贵的处境。安葬祂的是亚利马太的约瑟，他是地位很高的财主。（太二七57。）约瑟将耶稣的身体取下来，『用细麻布裹好，安放在石头凿成的坟墓里，那里从来没有葬过人。』（路二三53。）这是为应验以赛亚五十三章九节的话。主在安息日，在高标准的人性尊贵里安息了，等候从死人中复活的时刻来到。人救主的身体用细麻布加上没药和沉香调和的香料裹好埋葬。（约十九39～40。）祂在十架上受藐视，但在埋葬时却得了尊荣。主耶稣的埋葬是非常尊贵的。
16Luke 23:50-56 speaks of the burial of the Man-Savior. Verses 50 through 52 say, “And behold, a man named Joseph, being a member of the Council, a good and righteous man (This man had not agreed with their counsel and action), from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, who was expecting the kingdom of God; this man came to Pilate and requested the body of Jesus.” After the Lord accomplished His all-inclusive death, His situation of suffering immediately changed into an honorable one. He was buried by Joseph of Arimathea, a rich man of high rank (Matt. 27:57). Joseph took down the body of Jesus and “wrapped it in a linen cloth, and placed Him in a tomb hewn in the rock, where no one had ever yet been laid” (Luke 23:53). This was for the fulfillment of Isaiah 53:9. In human honor of a high standard the Lord rested on the Sabbath day, waiting for the time to resurrect from among the dead. The Man-Savior was buried in linen with a mixture of myrrh and aloes (John 19:39-40). He was despised on the cross, but He was honored in His burial. The Lord Jesus was buried in a very dignified way.
以包罗万有者的身分
As the All-inclusive One
17主耶稣乃是以包罗万有者的身分埋葬的。我们若认识圣经中的真理，就会知道我们乃是与祂一同埋葬了。我们已经与主耶稣同钉十字架，然后也与祂一同埋葬。
17When the Lord Jesus was buried, He was buried as the all-inclusive One. If we know the truth in the Scriptures, we shall realize that we were buried with Him. With the Lord Jesus we were crucified and then we were also buried with Him
18我们这些与主耶稣同钉并同葬的人，已经被了结；我们已经完全被带到尽头。一个人埋葬了，那就是他的完结。埋葬是最终的了结。我们这些堕落、在肉体里、属乎旧造的人，已经钉十字架且埋葬了。我们已经与主同葬，且在祂的埋葬里被了结了。在祂的坟墓里，一切难处都过去了，因为罪性、罪行、肉体、旧人、撒但、世界、旧造和规条，都已受了对付。在主包罗万有的死之后，祂和平且尊贵的埋葬了。我们需要知道，我们已经与基督同钉十字架。关于这点，我们可能有挣扎。不过，我们一旦看见我们也已经与基督同埋葬，就再没有挣扎了。埋葬带来平安的处境。被埋葬的人不会再挣扎。我们既与基督同埋葬，就该单单留在安息里。路加二十三章五十四至五十六节说，『那日是豫备日，安息日也快到了。那些从加利利和耶稣同来的妇女，跟在后面，看见了坟墓和祂的身体怎样安放，就回去，豫备了香料和香膏。她们在安息日，便遵著诫命安息了。』对一切神所拣选的人，甚至对全宇宙，这是真安息，因为救主已经为万有完全成就了救赎。
18As those who have been crucified and buried with the Lord Jesus, we have been terminated; we have been brought to a full end. When a person is buried, that is the end of him. Burial is a final termination. As fallen ones, those in the flesh and of the old creation, we have been crucified and buried. We have been buried with the Lord and we have been terminated in His burial. In His tomb all problems are gone because sin, sins, the flesh, the old man, Satan, the world, the old creation, and the ordinances have been dealt with. After dying such an all-inclusive death, the Lord was buried in a peaceful and honorable way. We need to realize that we have been crucified with Christ. However, regarding this we still may have a struggle. But once we see that we have also been buried with Christ, there is no longer any struggle. Burial brings about a peaceful situation. Those who are buried do not struggle any longer. Since we have been buried with Christ, we should simply remain at rest. Luke 23:54-56 says, “And it was a day of preparation, and the Sabbath was dawning. And the women who had come together with Him out of Galilee followed after, and beheld the tomb and how His body was placed. And they returned and prepared spices and ointment. And on the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.” This was a real rest to all God’s chosen people and even to the entire universe; the Savior had fully accomplished redemption for them all
