2人救主复活的几方面在看路加二十四章以前,我要先说一点关于基督复活的事。主在地上活了三十三年半,祂在尽职工作三年半以后被钉十字架并且埋葬了。如果祂一直留在坟墓里,那就表示神不称义人救主的所是和所作。然而,人救主复活了。基督复活的两种说法按照新约,主的复活有两种说法。第一,新约告诉我们,主耶稣使自己复活,使祂自己复起。论到祂的生命,祂说,『没有人夺我的命去,是我自己舍的。我有权柄舍了,也有权柄再取回来。』(约十18。)在约翰二章十九节主说,祂三日内要将祂的身体建立起来。主耶稣有能力受死,又从死人中复活。所以,一面说祂是自己从死人中复活。但另一面,新约也告诉我们,神叫祂复活。关于这点,主耶稣告诉门徒,祂『第三日复活(被动式)。』(太十六21。)主在别处论到祂自己说,『第三日祂要复活(被动式)。』(太十七23。)行传二章三十二节说,『神却叫祂死人中复活了。』行传三章十五节论到主是生命的创始者,说,『神却叫祂从死人中复活了。』不仅如此,在罗马六章四节保罗说,『基督藉著父的荣耀,从死人复活(被动式)。』所以,一面是主自己复活,另一面是神叫主从死人中复活。
2ASPECTS OF THE MAN-SAVIOR’S RESURRECTION Before coming to Luke 24, I would like to give a word concerning Christ’s resurrection. After the Lord lived on the earth for thirty-three and a half years, working in His ministry for three and a half years, He was crucified and buried. If He had remained in the tomb, that would have meant that God did not justify what the Man-Savior was and what He did. However, the Man-Savior was resurrected. Two Ways of Speaking of Christ’s Resurrection According to the New Testament , the Lord’s resurrection is mentioned in two ways. First, we are told that the Lord Jesus resurrected Himself, that is, that He raised Himself up. Speaking of His life, He said, “No one takes it away from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it again” (John 10:18). In John 2:19 the Lord said that He would raise up His body in three days. The Lord Jesus had the power to die and to rise up from among the dead. Therefore, in one sense, He raised Himself up from the dead. On the other hand, the New Testament tells us that He was raised up by God. Concerning this, the Lord Jesus told the disciples that He would “be raised on the third day” (Matt. 16:21). Elsewhere the Lord said of Himself, “On the third day He shall be raised up” (Matt. 17:23). Acts 2:32 says, “This Jesus God raised up,” and Acts 3:15 speaks of the Lord as the Author of life, “whom God raised from the dead.” Furthermore, in Romans 6:4 Paul says, “Christ was raised from among the dead through the glory of the Father.” On the one hand, the Lord raised up Himself; on the other hand, He was raised from the dead by God
