人救主最高标准的道德，

The Man-Savior’s Highest Standard of Morality
构成祂大能救恩的资格与基本因素（二）
Constituting His Qualification and the Basic Factor for His Dynamic Salvation (2

3在前一篇信息中，我们看见人救上由带著神圣属性的神圣素质成孕，作祂人性美德的内容与实际。（路一35，太一18，20。）主耶稣这样的成孕，叫神圣属性可以充满空洞的人性美德，并加强、丰富、圣别人性美德，好在人性美德里彰显神。我们也看见，人救主由那带著神为人所造之人性美德的属人素质所生。（路一31。）在祂里面，神圣属性与人性美德相调为一，神圣属性充满祂的人性美德，祂的人性美德盛装神圣属性。
3In the previous message we saw that the Man-Savior was conceived of the divine essence with the divine attributes for the content and reality of His human virtues (Luke 1:35; Matt. 1:18, 20). The Lord Jesus was conceived in this way so that the divine attributes might fill the empty human virtues, strengthen, enrich, and sanctify the human virtues, and express God in the human virtues. We have also seen that the Man-Savior was born of the human essence with the human virtues created by God for man (Luke 1:31). In Him the divine attributes and the human virtues are mingled. The divine attributes fill His human virtues, and His human virtues contain the divine attributes
4拯救人性美德脱离人的堕落人救主由那带著人性美德的属人素质所生，为要拯救这些美德脱离人的堕落。在主耶稣出生以前，人已经堕落了。因此除了主耶稣以外，每个人的美德都堕落了，就连马利亚和约瑟的人性美德也一样。我们不同意罗马天主教的教训说，马利亚没有罪的性情。(马利亚无罪的道理，在主后一八五四年成为罗马天主教公认的教训。)这教训没有圣经根据，我们无法相信。
4RESCUING THE HUMAN VIRTUES FROM MAN’S FALL The Man-Savior was born of the human essence with the human virtues in order to rescue these virtues from man’s fall. Before the Lord Jesus was born, man had become fallen. Therefore, with the exception of the Lord Jesus, the virtues of every human being are fallen. This was true even of the human virtues of Mary and Joseph. We do not agree with the Roman Catholic teaching that Mary did not have a sinful nature. (The doctrine of the sinlessness of Mary became an official teaching of the Roman Catholic Church in 1854). This teaching has no basis in the Scriptures, and we do not believe it
5在福音书里，我们能看见人救主的人性美德和马利亚、约瑟的不同。比方说，路加二章的记载指明主的美德是高超、纯净且完美的。人救主在十二岁时，对寻找祂的父母说，『岂不知我必须以我父的事为念么？』（路二49。）另一方面，『祂就同他们下去，回到拿撒勒，并且服从他们。』（路二51。）这是祂的人性在服从肉身的父母。我们读这段叙述，看见主耶稣的人性美德是何等的优越。相对之下，马利亚的美德就没有那样优越。我们比较这两种人性美德，会看见主的美德是拔高的，而马利亚的美德并没有被神圣属性所加强、丰富并拔高。我们从这里看见，人性美德实在需要蒙拯救脱离堕落。
5In the Gospels, we can see the difference between the Man-Savior’s human virtues and those of Mary and Joseph. For example, the record in Luke 2 indicates that the Lord’s virtues are high, pure, and perfect. When the Man - Savior was twelve, He said to His parents, who had been searching for Him, “Did you not know that I must be in the things of My Father?” (2:49). On the other hand, “He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was subject to them” (2:51). This was subjection in His humanity to His human parents. As we read this account, we see how excellent the human virtues of the Lord Jesus were. Mary’s virtues, by contrast, were not that excellent. As we compare these two kinds of human virtues, we see that the Lord’s virtues were uplifted, whereas Mary’s virtues were not strengthened, enriched, and uplifted by the divine attributes. From this we see that it certainly is necessary for the human virtues to be rescued from the fall.
复兴并恢复人性美德，
RESTORING AND RECOVERING THE HUMAN VIRTUES
脱离人堕落的破坏
FROM THE DAMAGE OF MAN’S FALL
6人救主由那带著人性美德的属人素质所生，也是为著复兴并恢复人的美德，脱离人堕落的破坏。因著堕落，我们的人性美德已遭受了破坏。比方说，爱的美德已受了破坏。一个弟兄第一天非常爱妻子，第二天也许就对她不满意，甚至想和她离婚。这有力的表明，他属人的爱已受了破坏。女儿对母亲的爱，也是受了破坏的爱。她可能一时之间非常爱母亲，但这爱很容易破碎，会突然间改变了。这证明女儿对母亲属人的爱，是堕落且受了破坏的爱。公义与圣别的人性美德也因著堕落受了破坏。我们的公义有许多『洞，』就好比蜂巢一般。你能数算你的公义有多少破洞么？我们的爱、光、义、圣都已经受了破坏。
6The Man-Savior was born of the human essence with the human virtues also to restore and recover man’s virtues from the damage of man’s fall. Because of the fall, our human virtues have been damaged. For example, the virtue of love has been damaged. A brother may love his wife very much one day, and the next day he may be unhappy with her and even think of divorcing her. This is a strong sign that his human love has been damaged. The love a girl has for her mother is also a damaged love. A girl may be very loving toward her mother at one moment, but this love is easily broken and may suddenly change. This proves that a girl’s human love for her mother is a fallen and damaged love. The human virtues of righteousness and holiness have also been damaged by the fall. Our righteousness has so many “holes” in it that it can be compared to a beehive. Can you count how many holes you have in your righteousness? Our love, brightness, righteousness, and holiness have all been damaged
7人救主成为肉体，不仅拯救我们的美德脱离堕落；祂成为肉体也复兴并恢复我们的美德，脱离堕落的败坏。有的事物可能蒙拯救却没有复兴，或者复兴却没有恢复。我们的人性美德需要得著拯救、复兴并恢复。
7The Man-Savior’sin carnation was not only to rescue our virtues from the fall; His incarnation was also to restore and recover our virtues from the damage of the fall. Something may be rescued without being restored, or may be restored without being recovered. Our human virtues need to be rescued, restored, and recovered
将人性美德
UPLIFTING THE HUMAN VIRTUES
拔高到最高标准
TO THE HIGHEST STANDARD
8不仅如此，人救主成为肉体，也是要将人性美德拔高到最高标准，与神的属性相配，好彰显神。因著我们的美德受破坏而走样，所以无法与神的属性相配。但拔高的人性美德却能与神的属性相配。人救主由那带著人性美德的属人素质所生，是要将这些美德拔高到一个水准，使牠能与神的属性相配，叫神得著彰显。
8Furthermore, the Man-Savior was incarnated in order to uplift the human virtues to the highest standard, to the standard that matches God’s attributes for the expression of God. Because our virtues were damaged and deformed, they could not match God’s attributes. But the uplifted human virtues can match God’s attributes. The Man - Savior was born of the human essence with the human virtues in order to uplift these virtues to such a standard that they can match God’s attributes for His expression.
产生最高标准的道德，成为人救主
PRODUCING THE HIGHEST STANDARD
大能救恩的拯救能力
OF MORALITY FOR THE SAVING POWER
OF THE MAN-SAVIOR’S DYNAMIC SALVATION
9人救主由带著神圣属性的神圣素质成孕，并由带著人性美德的属人素质所生，就产生了最高标准的道德。这道德就成为人救主大能救恩的拯救能力。神圣属性充满空洞的人性美德，并加强、丰富、圣别人性美德，且在人性美德里彰显神，结果乃是最高标准的道德。主耶稣在马太五章二十节题到这道德：『我告诉你们，你们的义，若不超过经学家和法利赛人的义，绝不能进诸天的国。』主在这里嘱咐我们，要有超凡的义，这不仅是客观的义，更是主观的义，就是内住的基督从我们里面活出，作了我们的义。当然，人救主自己有这样超凡的义，这义就是最高标准的道德。保罗在腓立比三章九节说到最高标准的道德：『并且给人看出我是在祂里面，不是有自己那本于律法的义，乃是有那藉著信基督而有的义，就是那基于信、本于神的义。』保罗竭力要给人看出他是在基督里，不是有他自己的义，人的义，乃是有神的义。这指明我们基督徒需要活一种义，这义实际上就是神自己。保罗渴望给人看出他是在基督里，有这样超凡的义，最高标准的义，就是神的义。我们怎能有神的义？惟有神活在我们里面，我们才能有这义。如果神没有活在我们里面，我们就不能活祂。如果我们不活神，我们就不能活神的义。我们要活神的义，就必须有神自己活在我们里面。这是超凡的义，最高标准的义。人救主成为肉体就是要产生这最高标准的道德，这道德乃是为著叫祂大能的救恩有拯救的能力。许多基督徒由于传统的影响，对主的救恩有错误的观念。他们的观念认为，我们的救主耶稣基督只是来拯救我们脱离地狱，带我们到天上。对救恩这样的领会非常不正确。人救主拯救我们的作法比这高多了。
9The Man-Savior’s being conceived of the divine essence with the divine attributes and being born of the human essence with the human virtues produced the highest standard of morality. This morality is for the saving power of the Man-Savior’s dynamic salvation. The result of the divine attributes filling the empty human virtues, strengthening, enriching, and sanctifying the human virtues, and expressing God in the human virtues is the highest standard of morality. The Lord Jesus refers to this morality in Matthew 5:20: “For I say to you, that unless your righteousness surpass that of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall by no means enter into the kingdom of the heavens.” Here the Lord charges us to have a surpassing righteousness, which is not merely an objective righteousness, but a subjective righteousness, the indwelling Christ lived out of us as our righteousness. Of course, the Man-Savior Himself had such a surpassing righteousness, and this righteousness is the highest standard of morality. Paul in Philippians 3:9 speaks of the highest standard of morality: “And be found in Him, not having my own righteousness which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God based on faith.” Paul was endeavoring to be found in Christ not with his own righteousness, a human righteousness, but having the righteousness of God. This indicates that we Christians need to live a righteousness that is actually God Himself. Paul aspired to be found in Christ having such a surpassing righteousness, a righteousness of the highest standard, that is, the righteousness of God. How can we have the righteousness of God? We can only have this righteousness by having God live in us. If God does not live in us, we cannot live Him. If we do not live God, we cannot live the righteousness of God. To live the righteousness of God, we must have God Himself living in us. This is the surpassing righteousness, the righteousness of the highest standard. The Man-Savior’sin carnation was to produce this highest standard of morality, and this morality is for the saving power of His dynamic salvation. Due to the influence of tradition, many Christians have the wrong concept concerning the Lord’s salvation. Their concept is that our Savior, Jesus Christ, came merely to save us from hell and to bring us to heaven. This understanding of salvation is very inadequate. The Man-Savior’sway of saving us is much higher than this.
10按照人救主拯救我们的作法，首先祂是将神的属性带到人的美德里。然后祂凭著被这神圣属性所充满、加强、丰富并圣别的人性美德来过生活。在这样的生活里，有拯救的能力。主拯救我们，不是仅仅伸出手来救我们脱离地狱；相反的，当祂拯救我们的时候，乃是作了这位带著被神圣属性所充满之人性美德者，进到我们里面来。这样的生命从里面拯救我们，拔高我们的人性美德，并复兴、圣别、变化我们。这样得救的人，定规不会下地狱，而会去神所在的地方。假定有一个人，真是照著天然的观念得救了，他仅仅脱离地狱被带到天上。如果基督仅仅伸出手把我们从地狱拉出来，带到天上，那神是不会喜悦的。祂会对这样的人说，『我不满意你的所是，你的所是对我是个冒犯。我不要你同我留在天上。』我们需要看见，人救主拯救我们的作法不是肤浅的。为了拯救我们，祂这位神进到人里面，将神的属性带到人的美德里。当祂在地上时，过著神人的生活，有神圣属性充满著祂的人性美德。末了，祂死在十字架上，又复活了。祂在复活里成了赐生命的灵。（林前十五45。）现今祂是赐生命的灵，进到我们里面，将神带到我们人里面，以神的属性充满我们的美德。我们是这样的天天蒙到拯救。我们是照著主复兴、变化的作法蒙到拯救。
10According to His way of saving us, the Man-Savior first brought God’sat tribute sin to man’s virtues. Then He lived a life with the human virtues filled, strengthened, enriched, and sanctified by the divine attributes. In such a living there is saving power. The Lord does not save us by merely stretching out His hand to rescue us from hell. Rather, when He saves us, He comes into us as the One with the human virtues filled with the divine attributes. Such a life saves us from within and uplifts our human virtues, restoring, sanctifying, and transforming us. A person who is saved in this way will surely not go to hell. Instead, he will go to the place where God is. However, suppose a person could actually be saved according to the natural concept of merely being rescued from hell and brought to heaven. If Christ simply stretched forth His hand to lift us out of hell into heaven, God would not be pleased. He would say to such a person, “I am not happy with what you are. Your person is offensive to Me. I don’t want you to remain here in heaven with Me.” We need to see that the Man-Savior’sway of saving us is not superficial. In order to save us, He, the very God, came into man, bringing God’sat tribute sin to man’s virtues. While He was on earth, He lived the life of a God-man, with the divine attributes filling His human virtues. Eventually, He died on the cross and was resurrected. In His resurrection He became the life-giving Spirit (1 Cor. 15:45). Now as the life-giving Spirit He enters into us to bring God into our being and to fill our virtues with God’s attributes. In this way we are being saved day by day. We are being saved in the way of the Lord’s restoring, His transforming
构成人救主
THE QUALIFICATIONAND THE BASIC FACTOR
大能救恩的资格与基本因素
FOR THE MAN-SAVIOR’S DYNAMIC SALVATION
11最高标准的道德，构成人救主大能救恩的资格。只有人救主有这资格。此外没有一个人彀资格，连孔夫子、柏拉图也不例外。在路加福音里，有许多事例说明人救主的道德标准，使祂合格来成功大能的救恩。最好的例证就是好撒玛利亚人的比喻。(路十25～37。)这撒玛利亚人活最高标准的道德，祂凭著祂的道德标准拯救堕落的人。
11The highest standard of morality constitutes the qualification for the Man-Savior’s dynamic salvation. Only the Man - Savior has this qualification; no other person, including Confucius and Plato, is so qualified. In the Gospel of Luke there are a number of cases illustrating that the Man- Savior’s standard of morality qualifies Him for dynamic salvation. The best illustration is the parable of the good Samaritan (10:25-37). This Samaritan lived the highest standard of morality, and He saved the fallen one by His standard of morality.
12最高标准的道德，也构成人救主大能救恩的基本因素。我们在撒该的事例中看见这一点。（路十九1～10。）因著人救主大能的救恩，撒该与主接触以后，立刻变成另一个人。当人救主来到撒该家时，祂是带著能力的灵，（路四18，）与不能毁坏的永远生命而来，（来七16，）好在撒该相信祂的时候，分赐到他里面。（约三15。）能力的灵与永远的生命，都是在祂最高标准的道德里传输的。祂这样一位大能的人救主看看撒该，对他说，『撤该，快下来，今天我必须住在你家里，』那时撒该立刻有了反应。我们可以将撒该比作电动玩具，一通入电，就有反应。甚么叫撒该有那样的反应？乃是由于带著永远生命的那灵，如同神圣的电，从人救主流到他里面。没有那灵，祂这永远的生命就无法进到撒该里面。祂那在最高标准道德里的人性，乃是『电线，』传输那灵连同永远生命的『电。』带著永远生命的那灵，就是神圣的电，在主最高标准的人性里。祂看著撒该，对他说话，带著祂永远生命的那灵就进到他里面。
12The highest standard of morality also constitutes the basic factor for the Man-Savior’s dynamic salvation. We see this in the case of Zaccheus (19:1-10). Because of the Man-Savior’s dynamic salvation, Zaccheus became another person immediately after coming into contact with Him. When the Man-Savior came to the house of Zaccheus, He came with the Spirit of power (Luke 4:18) and with the indestructible eternal life (Heb. 7:16) to impart into him at his believing in Him (John 3:15). The Spirit of power and the eternal life were both conveyed in the highest standard of His morality. When He, as such a dynamic Man-Savior, looked at Zaccheus and said to him, “Zaccheus, hurry and come down; for today I must stay in your house,” Zaccheus responded. We may compare Zaccheus to an electrical toy that responds as soon as electricity flows into it. What made Zaccheus respond as he did? It was the Spirit with the eternal life, as the divine electricity, that flowed into him from the Man-Savior. Without the Spirit, there would have been no way for Him as the eternal life to get into Zaccheus. His humanity in the highest standard of morality was the “wire” conveying the “electricity” of the Spirit with the eternal life. The Spirit with the eternal life as the divine electricity was within the Lord’s humanity of the highest standard. When He looked at Zaccheus and talked to him, the Spirit with His eternal life entered into him
13当主耶稣在地上尽职事的那些年间，祂就像一块大磁石，吸引人归向祂自己。门徒受祂吸引，就撇下一切来跟从祂。我们从四福音知道，有大批群众跟著祂。我们也是被祂大能的人位所吸引而归向祂。我们花这么多时间聚会，就是因为被人救主所吸引。我们已经被祂拯救的大能所吸引。人救主拯救的大能，是由祂最高标准的道德构成的，其中有祂大能的灵和永远的生命。三一神是个奥秘，基督的成为肉体也是个极大的奥秘。不仅如此，人救主在地上的生活也是奥秘的。首先，祂是吸引跟从者的磁石。末了，祂进到跟从者里面，使他们每一个都成了奥秘。因这缘故，我们信徒对我们的亲戚朋友是个奥秘。他们不懂我们天天在作甚么，以及为甚么那样作。事实上，我们都是过著奥秘的生活。
13During the years of His ministry on earth, the Lord Jesus was like a great magnet drawing people to Himself. Attracted by Him, the disciples left everything to follow Him. We know from the four Gospels that great crowds went after Him. We also have been drawn to Him by His powerful Person. The reason we spend so much time in meetings is that we have been attracted to the Man-Savior. We have been drawn by His dynamic saving power. The Man-Savior’s dynamic saving power is constituted of His highest standard of morality in which His powerful Spirit and eternal life are. The Triune God is a mystery, and the incarnation of Christ is also a great mystery. Furthermore, the Man-Savior’s living on earth was mysterious. First, He was a magnet attracting His followers. Eventually, He came into His followers and made each one of them a mystery. This is the reason that, as believers, we are a mystery to our relatives and friends. They do not understand what we are doing day by day and why we are doing it. Actually, we are all living a mysterious life
14我们是个奥秘，完全是由于人救主－神人，祂的神圣属性充满祂的人性美德，产生最高标准的道德。我们在本篇信息中强调，人救主最高标准的道德，构成祂大能救恩的资格，也构成这救恩的基本因素。这真是太奇妙了！我们在本篇信息中所说的不仅仅是个道理。我们一直在看一个活的人位！那神人带有最高标准的道德作祂拯救的能力。我们不该满足于教训－我们需要人救主连同祂大能的救恩。我鼓励你们将这事带到主面前，看见人救主最高标准的道德，构成祂大能救恩的资格与基本因素。如果你在祷告中将这事带到主面前，我信祂这灵会就著祂最高标准的道德，同你说更多的话。
14Our being a mystery is altogether due to the Man-Savior, the God-man, whose divine attributes fill His human virtues to produce the highest standard of morality. As we have emphasized in this message, the Man-Savior’s highest standard of morality constitutes the qualification for His dynamic salvation; it also constitutes the basic factor for this salvation. How marvelous! What we have been covering in this message is not merely a doctrine. We have been considering a living Person, the God-man with the highest standard of morality as His saving power. We should not be content with teachings— we need the Man-Savior with His dynamic salvation. I encourage you to bring to the Lord this matter of the Man-Savior’s highest standard of morality constituting His qualification and the basic factor for His dynamic salvation. If you bring this to the Lord in prayer, I believe that He as the Spirit will speak more to you concerning His highest standard of morality
