人救主的复活（二）

The Man-Savior’s Resurrection (2)
1读经：使徒行传2:24，3:15，罗马书4:25，使徒行传10:41，约翰福音10:15，17-18，希伯来书2:14，哥林多前书15:52-54，约翰福音13:31-32，17:1，路加福音24:26，约翰福音12:24。在本篇信息里，我们要继续来看人救主复活客观的一面。我们已经看过，主的复活乃是神对人救主和祂包罗万有救赎工作的表白与称许。现今我们需要来看，基督的复活也是人救主在祂一切成就上的成功。
1Scripture Reading: Acts 2:24; 3:15; Rom. 4:25; Acts 10:41; John 10:15, 17-18; Heb. 2:14; 1 Cor. 15:52-54; John 13:31-32; 17:1; Luke 24:26; John 12:24 In this message we shall continue to consider the objective aspect of the Man-Savior’s resurrection. We have seen that the Lord’s resurrection was God’s vindication and approval of the Man-Savior and His all-inclusive redemptive work. Now we need to see that Christ’s resurrection was also the Man-Savior’s success in all His achievements
2人救主在神一切成就上的成功人常夸耀自己的成功。但无论人一生多么成功，他死了就失去一切。这就是说，死亡是人成功的尽头。
2THE MAN-SAVIOR’S SUCCESS IN ALL HIS ACHIEVEMENTS People often boast of their success. But no matter how successful a person may be in life, he loses everything when he dies. This means that death is the end of one’s success
3这的确是路加十二章十六至二十一节的比喻中，那财主的光景。那财主对自己说，『要把我的仓房拆了，另盖更大的，好在那里收藏我一切的麦子和财物。然后要对我的魂说，魂哪，你有许多财物积存，可供多年享用，你休息罢，吃喝快乐罢。』（路十二18～。）然而，神却对他说，『无知的人哪，今夜必要你的魂；你所豫备的，要归谁？』（路十二20。）这财主很成功，但是当他死了，他的成功也过去了。
3This certainly was the situation of the rich man in the parable in 12:16-21. This rich man said to himself, “I will pull down my barns and build larger ones, and I will gather there all my wheat and my goods. And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years; take it easy, eat, drink, be merry” (vv. 18-19). However, God said to him, “Senseless one, this night they are requiring your soul from you. Now the 19 things which you prepared, whose will they be?” (v. 20). This rich man was successful, but when he died, his success was gone.
主从死人中复活
The Lord Rising Up from the Dead
4人救主在祂成就上的成功，由祂从死人中复活的事实得著证明。一面，新约说神叫耶稣从死人中复活。（徒三15。）另一面，新约也告诉我们，基督自己复活。（徒十41。）论到主是人，新约告诉我们，神叫祂从死人中复活。(罗八11。)但论到祂是神，新约却宣告，祂自己从死人中复活。（罗十四9。）神叫基督复活，是神对主和祂工作的表白与称许的证明。但主耶稣自己从死人中复活，乃是在祂成就上成功的证明。
4The Man-Savior’s success in His achievements was proved by the fact that He rose from among the dead. On the one hand, the New Testament says that God raised Jesus up from the dead (Acts 3:15). On the other hand, the New Testament also tells us that Christ rose up Himself (Acts 10:41). Regarding the Lord as a man, the New Testament tells us that God raised Him from the dead (Rom. 8:11). But considering Him as God, the New Testament declares that He Himself rose from the dead (Rom. 14:9). God raised up Christ as a proof of His vindication and approval of the Lord and His work. But as a proof of His success in His achievements, the Lord Jesus Himself rose from the dead
5在行传十章四十一节彼得说，『在祂从死人中复活以后，』门徒和祂同吃同喝。在主钉死并埋葬以后，彼得和其他门徒都深感失望。他们可能彼此说，『我们能作甚么？主既已钉死并埋葬了，我们甚么都不能作。一切都过去了。』门徒这样感觉，原因是没有甚么比埋葬更废掉人的成功。然而，主耶稣没有留在坟墓里。祂在第三天复活了，并向门徒显现。
5In Acts 10:41 Peter says that the disciples ate and drank with Christ “after He rose from among the dead.” After the Lord’s crucifixion and burial, Peter and the other disciples were deeply disappointed. They may have said to one another, “What can we do? Now that the Lord has been crucified and has been buried, we cannot do anything. Everything is over.” The reason the disciples felt this way is that nothing nullifies a person’s success more than his burial. However, the Lord Jesus did not remain in the tomb. On the third day He rose up and appeared to the disciples.
6路加二十四章记载，当主耶稣向门徒显现时，祂对他们说，『你们这里有甚么吃的没有？他们便递给祂一片烧鱼。祂接过来，在他们面前吃了。』（路二四41～43。）在这里主似乎说，『我要和你们同吃。你们有东西吃么？我也要顾到你们的饥饿。』根据新约，主耶稣在祂复活那天向门徒显现，作了两件重要的事：首先，将圣灵吹入门徒里面；（约二十22；）其次，与他们同吃。（路二四41～43。）彼得无法忘记复活那天所发生的事，所以他告诉在留尼流家的人，主耶稣复活了，并且门徒和祂同吃同喝。他们与复活的人救主同席。主的复活是祂成功的有力证明。因此，门徒不需要失望。
6When the Lord Jesus appeared to the disciples as recorded in Luke 24, He said to them, “Do you have anything to eat here? And they handed Him part of a broiled fish; and He took it and ate before them” (vv. 41-43). Here the Lord seemed to be saying, “I would like to eat with you. Do you have something to eat? I would also like to take care of your hunger.” According to the New Testament, the Lord Jesus appeared to His disciples on the day of His resurrection to do two main things: first, to breathe the Spirit into the disciples (John 20:22); second, to eat with them (Luke 24:41-43). Unable to forget what happened on the day of resurrection, Peter told those in the house of Cornelius that the Lord Jesus rose up and that the disciples ate and drank with Him. They had a feast with the resurrected Man-Savior. The Lord’s resurrection was a strong evidence of His success. Because of this, there was no need for the disciples to be disappointed
主将命舍去
The Lord Laying Down His Life
7从约翰十章我们看见，实际上主耶稣不是被杀的，祂乃是自己将命舍去。在约翰十章十五节祂说，『我为羊舍命。』然后在约翰十章十七节、十八节他接著说，『父爱我，因我将命舍去，好再取回来。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；这是我从我父所受的命令。』主在复活后向门徒显现的时候，可能说了这样的话：『我的复活就是我成功的证明。我不是被杀的－我乃是自己将命舍去。我若不愿舍命，没有人能对我作甚么。我照著我父的命令将命舍去，三天后再取回来。父命令我为你们舍命，我就舍了。然后祂命令我复活，我就复活。我现今与你们同在这里，就是我成功的证明。』
7From chapter ten of John we see that actually the Lord Jesus was not killed; rather, He laid down His life. In John 10:15 He said, “I lay down My life on behalf of the sheep.” Then in John 10:17 and 18 He continued, “Therefore the Father loves Me, because I lay down My life that I may take it again. 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. This commandment I received from My Father.” When the Lord appeared to the disciples after His resurrection, He may have said something like this: “My resurrection is the proof of My success. I was not killed—I laid down My life. If I were not willing to lay down My life, no one would be able to do anything to Me. I laid down My life according to My Father’s commandment, and after three days I took it again. The Father commanded Me to lay down My life for you, and I did this. Then He commanded Me to rise up, and I arose. Now as a proof of My success I am here with you
祂伟大成功的标记
A Sign of His Great Success
8主耶稣的确不是被杀的；祂乃是自己将命舍去。然后祂复活，再将生命取回来。因此，祂的复活是人救主在祂一切成就上的成功。祂所作的事没有一件是徒然的。祂所作的一切都由祂的复活所印证并证实。若是主一生作了很多事，却没有从死人中复活，祂的留在坟墓里，就是祂失败的标记。但祂的复活证明祂所作的一切都大大成功了。神叫基督复活是为了表白和称许。但主自己复活乃是祂成功的标记。
8Indeed, the Lord Jesus was not killed; He laid down His life. Then He rose up and took His life again. Hence, His resurrection was the Man-Savior’s success in all His achievements. He did nothing in vain. Everything He did was sealed and confirmed by His resurrection. If the Lord had done so many things during His lifetime but did not rise up from the dead, His remaining in the tomb would have been a sign of failure. But His rising up is the evidence of His great success in whatever He did. God raised up Christ for vindication and approval. But the Lord Himself rose up as a sign of His success.
人救主胜过死，
THE MAN-SAVIOR’S VICTORY OVER DEATH
包括撒但、阴间和坟墓
INCLUDING SATAN, HADES, AND THE GRAVE
9人救主的复活也胜过了死、撒但、阴间和坟墓。（徒二24。）撒但、死、阴间和坟墓形成一组。人救主不仅由神表由，证明祂一切成就上的成功，也胜过了使我们十分忧虑并困扰的死、撤但、阴间和坟墓。人救主胜过了死，并且废除了撒但。（来二14。）死亡和阴间的钥匙现今在祂手里，（启一18，）祂也胜过了坟墓。
9The Man-Savior’s resurrection was also His victory over death, Satan, Hades, and the grave (Acts 2:24). Satan, death, Hades, and the grave form a group. The Man-Savior was not only vindicated by God and was proved to be a success in His achievements, but He was victorious over death, Satan, Hades, and the grave, all of which are a great concern and trouble to us. The Man-Savior overcame death and destroyed Satan (Heb. 2:14). The keys of death and of Hades are now in His hand (Rev. 1:18), and He is victorious over the grave
10提后一章十节说，基督『把死废掉，藉著福音将生命和不朽坏照耀出来。』基督藉著祂废除魔鬼的死，（来二14，）并祂吞灭死的复活，（林前十五52～54，）已经把死废掉，使其失效。福音启示我们，基督已经把死废掉，将永远、不能毁坏的生命带给我们。基督显明出来，为要把死废掉，并带进永远、不能毁坏的生命。祂不仅击败了死，更把死废掉。藉著复活，死成为无效；死已失去牠的权势，甚至失去牠的味道。基督能把死废掉，因祂废除了魔鬼，就是那掌死权的。藉著胜过撒但，把死废掉，主耶稣当然也击败了阴间和坟墓。因此，基督的复活宣告祂胜过了死、撒但、阴间和坟墓。这些再也不是难处了。因此，基督的复活不仅是神的表白和主的成功，也是祂对死、撒但、阴间和坟墓的得胜。基督藉著祂的复活，已使这麻烦的一组失效。
10Second Timothy 1:10 says that Christ “nullified death, and brought life and incorruption to light through the gospel.” Christ nullified death, making it of none effect, through His Devil-destroying death (Heb. 2:14) and death-swallowing resurrection (1 Cor. 15:52- 54). In the gospel the revelation is brought to us that Christ has nullified death and has brought us eternal, indestructible life. Christ was manifested to nullify death and to bring in eternal, indestructible life. He not only defeated death—He nullified it. Through His resurrection, death has become of none effect; death has lost its power, even its taste. Christ could nullify death because He destroyed the Devil, the one who has the power of death. Of course, by overcoming Satan and nullifying death, the Lord Jesus also defeated Hades and the grave. Therefore, Christ’s resurrection declares that He is victorious over death, Satan, Hades, and the grave. No longer are these a problem. Therefore, Christ’s resurrection was not only God’s vindication and the Lord’s success, but also His victory over death, Satan, Hades, and the grave. Christ through His resurrection has made this troublesome group of none effect
人救主的得荣
The Man-Savior’s glorification
11此外，人救主的复活也是祂的得荣。（约十三31～32，十七1，路二四。）这事很难领会并解释，我们用一粒麦子的例证会有助于说明。约十二24。)一粒麦子里面有生命。当麦粒种在土里，牠『死了。』但同时牠也在生长。一粒麦子若不种在地里，就不会死也不会长。但埋在地里的种子，至终藉著生长得著荣耀。其他种类的种子原则也是一样。譬如，康乃馨的种子也像麦子落在土里死了，但至终牠生长，从土里长出来，并且开花。康乃馨的开花就是牠的得荣。因此，康乃馨的种子在康乃馨的开花里，完全得著了荣耀。
11Furthermore, the Man - Savior’s resurrection was His glorification (John 13:31-32; 17:1; Luke 24:26). Because this matter is difficult to understand and 26 define, it is helpful to use the illustration of a grain of wheat (John 12:24). There is life in a grain of wheat. (When the grain is sown into the earth, it “dies.” But at the same time it grows. If a grain of wheat is not sown into the ground, it will neither die nor grow. But a seed that is put into the ground is eventually glorified through its growth. The principle is the same with other kinds of seeds, for example, a carnation seed. Like a grain of wheat, a carnation seed dies in the soil. But eventually it grows, rises out of the earth, and blossoms. The blossoming of a carnation flower is its glorification. Therefore, a carnation seed is fully glorified in the blossoming of a carnation flower.
12根据主耶稣自己在约翰十二章二十四节的话，祂是那一粒落在地里死了的麦子。但祂在地里死的时候，祂也在生长。至终，祂在复活里『开花，』并结出许多子粒来。这些子粒就是祂的得荣。那长在田里的麦子，就是种在田里那一切麦粒的得著荣耀。有人将成熟的麦穗描述为『金黄的麦穗。』时候将到，宇宙中要有一块『田，』满了金黄的麦穗。那时神能说，『撒但，看这片田。这是我儿子耶稣基督的得荣。』甚至今天在正当的召会生活里，就可以有这得荣的小影。
12According to His own word in John 12:24, the Lord Jesus was a grain of wheat that fell into the ground and died. But as He was in the ground dying, He was also growing. Eventually, in resurrection He “blossomed” and brought forth many grains. These grains are His glorification. Wheat growing in a field is the glorification of all the grains of wheat sown into that field. Ears of ripe wheat have been described as “golden ears of grain.” The time is coming when in the universe there will be a “field” full of golden ears of grain. Then God will be able to say, “Satan, look at this field. This is the glorification of My Son, Jesus Christ.” Even today in the proper church life we may have a miniature of this glorification
人救主的体壳藉著死被破裂
The Man-Savior’sS hell Broken through His Death
13主耶稣犹如一粒麦子，有人的『体壳。』祂要得荣耀，（约十二23，）祂神圣的生命就必须从人性的体壳释放出来，在复活里产生许多信徒。（彼前一3。）藉著祂十字架上的死，祂人性的体壳被破裂了。
13As a grain of wheat the Lord Jesus had a human “shell.” For Him to be glorified (John 12:23) required that His divine life be released from within the shell of His humanity to produce many believers in resurrection (1 Pet. 1:3). Through His death on the cross the shell of His humanity was broken
人救主神圣的生命得释放
The Man-Savior’s Divine Life Being Released
14当主人性的体壳在十字架上被破裂，祂里面神圣的生命就在复活里得释放。神圣的生命和性情从主这一粒麦子得释放，就是祂的得荣。在约翰十七章一节，祂为这得荣祷告：『父阿，时候到了，愿你荣耀你的儿子，使儿子也荣耀你。』
14When the shell of the Lord’s humanity was broken on the cross, the divine life within Him was released in resurrection. The release of the divine life and nature from within the Lord as a grain of wheat was His glorification. He prayed for this glorification in John 17:1: “Father, the hour has come; glorify Your Son that the Son may glorify You.”
15当主耶稣成为肉体时，祂穿上了人性。这就是说，祂不再仅仅是神，因为藉著成为肉体，祂成了神人，兼有神性和人性。不仅如此，祂的人性还必须被带到神性里。主的人性被带到神性里，就是祂的得荣。根据新约的启示，主耶稣从死人中复活时，是带著祂的神性和人性复活。这就是说，祂复活为神人。主人性的复活就是祂的得荣。人耶稣是藉著祂的复活得荣耀。不仅神的儿子从祂人性的体壳得释放而得著荣耀，人耶稣也得著荣耀。当祂的人性被带进神性里，祂就得著荣耀。阿利路亚，现今有一人在荣耀里！有些人听到人耶稣现今在荣耀里，可能领会为祂在诸天里。然而，路加二十四章二十六节指明，祂甚至在升天以前就已进入荣耀。在往以马忤斯的路上，祂对门徒说，『基督受害，又进人祂的荣耀，岂不是应当的么？』这话是指祂的复活，这复活把祂带进了荣耀。（林前十五43，徒三13上，15上。）人救主的复活就是祂的进入荣耀。因此，得荣不仅指神的儿子从祂属人的体壳得释放，也指主的人性已被带到神性里。你曾否听过一篇信息告诉你，当救主的人性被带到神性里，祂就得著了荣耀？基督徒常听人说，基督有荣耀，主要的是因为祂伟大。然而，圣经启示，主成了身分低微的人。在主的复活里，祂低微的人性被带到神性里，而这就是祂的得荣。祂不仅有尊荣、尊贵和荣耀；祂的复活就是祂的得荣。
15When the Lord Jesus was incarnated, He put on humanity. This means that no longer was He merely God, for through incarnation He had become the God- man, having both divinity and humanity. Furthermore, it was necessary for His humanity to be brought into divinity. The bringing of the Lord’s humanity into divinity was His glorification. According to the New Testament revelation, when the Lord Jesus rose up from the dead, He rose up with both His divinity and His humanity. This means He rose up as the God-man. This rising of the Lord’s humanity was His glorification. The man Jesus was glorified through His resurrection. Not only was the Son of God glorified by being released from within the shell of the Lord’s humanity, but the man Jesus was also glorified. He was glorified when His humanity was brought into divinity. Hallelujah, now there is a man in the glory! When some hear that the man Jesus is now in glory, they may understand this to mean that He is in the heavens. However, Luke 24:26 indicates that He entered into glory even before His ascension. While on the way to Emmaus, He said to the disciples, “Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and to enter into His glory?” This refers to His resurrection, which brought Him into glory (1 Cor. 15:43; Acts 3:13a, 15a). The Man-Savior’s resurrection was His entering into glory. Therefore, glorification means not only that the Son of God was released from His human shell, but also that the Lord’s humanity has been brought into divinity. Have you ever heard a message telling you that your Savior was glorified when His humanity was brought into divinity? Often Christians are told that Christ has glory mainly because He is great. However, the Bible reveals that the Lord became a man of low estate. In His resurrection His lowly humanity was brought into divinity, and this was His glorification. He not only has honor, dignity, and glory; His resurrection was His glorification.
神长子的出生
The Birth of God’s Firstborn Son
16人救主的得荣，也是祂的生为神的长子。行传十三章三十三节启示，复活对那人耶稣乃是出生。在祂的复活里，神将祂生为许多弟兄中的长子。（罗八29。）祂在永远里是神的独生子。（约一18，三16。）然后祂成为肉体，又经过复活，就在祂的人性里被神生为长子。
16The Man-Savior’s glorification was also His birth as God’s firstborn Son. Acts 13:33 reveals that to the man Jesus resurrection was a birth. He was begotten by God in His resurrection to be the firstborn Son of God among many brothers (Rom. 8:29). He was the only begotten Son of God from eternity (John 1:18; 3:16). After incarnation and through resurrection, He was begotten by God in His humanity to be God’s firstborn Son
17基督在永远里是神的独生子。然而新约告诉我们，在祂复活那日，神生了祂。诗篇二篇七节甚至豫言这事。在复活里，神生了耶稣，作祂的长子。『长子』一辞指明还有别的儿子。希伯来二章十节说到许多儿子，罗马八章二十九节也说到许多弟兄。主在复活里来到组成祂召会的众弟兄那里，向他们宣告父的名。（来二12。）神的独生子藉著成为肉体穿上人性，成了神人。然后这神人在复活里由神而生，成为神的长子。
17From eternity Christ was God’s only begotten Son. Nevertheless, in the New Testament we are told that on the day of His resurrection He was begotten by God. This was even prophesied in Psalm 2:7. In resurrection God begot Jesus to be His firstborn Son. The word “firstborn” indicates that there will be other sons. Hebrews 2:10 speaks of many sons, and Romans 8:29, of many brothers. In resurrection the Lord came to His brothers, who composed His church, and declared the Father’s name to them (Heb. 2:12). Through incarnation God’s only begotten Son put on humanity and became the God-man. Then in resurrection this God-man was born of God to be His Firstborn.
18我们要领悟，神的独生子在成为肉体以前，没有人的性情，只有神圣的性情，这是很重要的。然而，神的长子在复活里，有神圣的性情，也有人的性情。我们在基督里的信徒，都是神的儿子，也都是神长子的众弟兄。我们藉著重生得著了神圣的性情。(彼后一4。)我们是人，现今却有神圣的性情。虽然主耶稣是神圣的，但祂也有人的性情。因此，主耶稣和我们一样，祂和我们都有人的性情和神圣的性情。我们赞美主，祂在复活里由神而生，成为神的长子。祂的复活乃是释放神圣的生命和性情，藉这释放，祂得生为神的长子。我们感谢主，给我们看见关于人救主复活客观一面的一切要点。主的复活是神的表白与称许，是人救主成功的证明；是祂对死、撒但、阴间和坟墓的得胜，也是祂的得荣。藉著祂的复活，死被废掉，撒但被击败，人性被带到神性里。为著主的复活赞美祂！愿主照著祂从圣经所给我们的光，赐我们新的诗歌，使我们得以更丰富、更高超、更完满的赞美祂。
18It is important for us to realize that, before incarnation, God’son ly begotten Son did not have human nature, only the divine nature. However, in resurrection, God’s firstborn Son has a human nature as well as the divine nature. As believers in Christ, we all are sons of God and brothers of the firstborn Son. Through regeneration we have the divine nature (2 Pet. 1:4). Although we are human beings, we now have the divine nature. Although the Lord Jesus is divine, He also has the human nature. Therefore, both the Lord Jesus and we are the same in that both He and we have the human nature and the divine nature. We praise the Lord that in His resurrection He was born of God to be His firstborn Son. His resurrection was the release of the divine life and nature, and through this release He was begotten as the firstborn Son of God. We thank the Lord for showing us all the points related to the objective aspect of the Man-Savior’s resurrection. The Lord’s resurrection was God’s vindication and approval, it was the evidence of the Man-Savior’s success, it was His victory over death, Satan, Hades, and the grave, and it was His glorification. Through His resurrection death was nullified, Satan was defeated, and humanity was brought into divinity. Praise the Lord for His resurrection! May the Lord give us new hymns and songs written according to the light He has given us from the Word so that we may praise Him in a richer, higher, and fuller way
