为罪奴役之人的需要-生命的释放(二)

The Need of Those Under the Bondage of Sin— Life’s Setting Free (2
六 释放的路
F. The Way of Setting Free
1 藉著生命的光
1. By the Light of Life
1主耶稣如何释放我们脱离罪?乃是藉著进入我们里面作生命的光。这光并不是在我们外面,乃是在我们里面。当我们接受了主,祂就进入我们里面作我们的生命。这内住的生命现今在我们里面照耀,这就是光。这内住生命的照耀,逐渐且自然的释放我们。得释放脱离罪的辖制不是一夜之间的事,这需要时间。虽然你可以在一秒之间被点活,但从罪得自由却不是这么简单。
1How does the Lord Jesus set us free from sin? He does it by coming into us as the light of life. This light is not outside of us; it is in us. When we received the Lord, He entered into us as our life. This indwelling life now shines within us. That is light. Gradually and spontaneously, this shining of the indwelling life sets us free. To be set free from the bondage of sin is not an overnight matter; it takes time. Although you may be enlivened in one second, it is not so simple to be freed from sin
2我们可以用脾气作例证。人人都有脾气。你若没有脾气,你就不是人。桌子没有脾气,不管你怎么搥桌子,牠绝不会发脾气,因为牠没有脾气可发。但你如何?每个人都有相当的脾气,这脾气乃是我们蛇性的第一个表现。撒但在我们里面主要的表现,就是我们的脾气。每当人发脾气的时候,他看起来就像蛇。没有人发脾气时看起来像天使。当你向妻子发脾气时,你看起来就像鬼。当慈母向孩子发脾气时,孩子会受惊,因为他母亲看起来像鬼。当我们发脾气时,蛇的性情就显出来了。我们的脾气非常困扰我们,并且一直缠著我们。在我五十年追求主的基督徒年日中,没有一件事比脾气更困扰我。要从脾气得释放是何其困难!我从经历中能见证,自从主耶稣进入我里面,祂就成了我的生命。这生命不断在我里面照耀。耶稣越在我里面照耀,我就越从我的脾气得释放。有时我发了脾气,这光就厉害的照耀我。你岂不也有过同样的经历?你向妻子发脾气,光便照耀你。不信的人越发脾气,就越有可发的。然而,我们有追求的基督徒发起脾气时,却发现越来越没有可发的。有时弟兄或姊妹要发脾气,里面的照耀就阻止他。在他里面有个东西照耀他,杀死蛇的性情。经过了五十年的经历,我能说现在很难叫我发脾气了。因为五十年来属天的镭射线,一直消杀我脾气的蛇性。
2We may use our temper as an illustration. Everyone has a temper. If you do not have a temper, you are not a human being. A table has no temper. Regardless of how much you pound on a table, it will never lose its temper because it has no temper to lose. But how about you? Every person has a certain amount of temper, and this temper is the first expression of our serpentine nature. The primary expression of Satan in us is our temper. Whenever a person loses his temper, he has the appearance of a serpent. No one looks like an angel when he loses his temper. When you lose your temper at your wife, you look like a demon. When a kind mother loses her temper toward her child, the child will be frightened because his mother looks like a demon. When we lose our temper, the serpentine nature is expressed. Our temper bothers us very much; it besets us all the time. During the fifty years that I have been a seeking Christian, nothing has bothered me more than my temper. How difficult it is to be freed from our temper! From my experience I can testify that since the day the Lord Jesus came into me He has been my life. This life has been shining within me continually. The more Jesus shines within me, the more I am set free from my temper. Sometimes when I was losing my temper, this light shone strongly. Have you not experienced this as well? While you are losing your temper at your wife, the light shines. The more unbelievers lose their temper, the more temper they have to lose. However, when we, the seeking Christians, begin to lose our temper, we find that we have less and less temper to lose. Sometimes a brother or sister is stopped by the inward shining while he is losing his temper. Something inward shines over him, killing the serpentine nature. After fifty years of experience, I can say that now it is difficult for me to lose my temper. For fifty years the heavenly radium has been killing the serpentine nature of temper.
3镭射线是用来治疗某些疾病的。病人坐在镭射线下,牠能注入他里面。我们里面有属天的镭射线,这种镭射线消杀蛇的性情。这就是生命的光,释放我们脱离罪的奴役。
3Radium treatment is given for certain diseases. The patient sits under the radium, and its rays are transfused into him. We have a heavenly radium within us, and this radium kills the serpentine nature. This is the light of life which sets us free from the slavery of sin
2 藉著那作实际的子
2. By the Son as Reality
4我们得释放脱离罪,不只是藉生命之光的照耀,也是藉著那作实际(真理)的子。(约八32,36。)这真理,并不是道理上所谓的真理,乃是神圣事物的实际,就是主自己。(约十四6一14,17。)八章三十二节告诉我们,『真理必叫你们得以自由;』八章三十六节告诉我们,『神的儿子…叫你们自由。』这证明神的儿子,主自己,就是真理。主既是神的具体化身,(西二9,)祂就是神所是的实际。因此,实际就是神的神圣元素,给我们实化。当主这位伟大的『我是』进入我们里面作生命,祂就在我们里面作光照耀,将神圣的元素带进我们里面作实际。这实际,就是那分赐到我们里面的神圣元素,给我们实化,藉著神的生命作人的光,使我们得以自由,脱离罪的奴役。神的儿子这神格的丰满,乃是实际。当祂作生命在我们里面照耀时,便将祂的实际,就是祂神圣的元素,作到我们这人里面。这不仅仅是照耀,更是将神所是的实际带到我们这人里面的照耀。日复一日,年复一年,这神圣的元素至终要积蓄在我们这人里面。因此,我们这人里面就会有相当分量的神圣实际。没有人能否认这事。五十多年来,我一直是有追求的基督徒。我不是说我不会跌倒,也许明天我就被我亲爱的妻子或一位弟兄绊跌了。然而,不管我跌倒多少次,在已过五十年间所作到我里面的神圣元素是绝不会失去的。即使我绊跌了,我还会带著许多神圣的元素绊跌。藉著内里生命的照耀,并藉著神圣元素在我们这人里面的工作,我们就得以自由,脱离罪的奴役。这就如设计一种处方以治疗我们血液的疾病一样。要消除我们血液的疾病很难,需要一些药物。我如果一天服用几次药,这药一面会杀除病菌,另一面会生机的把积极的元素加到身体里。这积极的元素会将营养供应给我身体的组织。最终,疾病就会被吞灭。藉著这种新陈代谢的过程,老旧的元素排除了,为新的元素所顶替。这就是神圣生命使我们得以自由,脱离罪的奴役的路。这不是按照罗马六章算自己死。我们好些人已往这样试过,发现并不灵。不是这样。你必须经历活的耶稣在你里面作照耀的光,并作在你里面工作的神圣元素。最终这属天、神圣的元素,就要加到你这人里面。这就是我们的救恩。
4We are set free from sin not only by the shining of the light of life, but also by the Son as reality (8:32, 36). The reality is not the so-called truth of doctrine; it is the reality of the truth which is the Lord Himself (14:6; 1:14, 17). In 8:32 we are told that “the reality shall set you free.” In 8:36 we are told that “the Son shall set you free.” This proves that the Son, the Lord Himself, is the reality. Since the Lord is the embodiment of God (Col. 2:9), He is the reality of what God is. Hence, reality is the very divine element of God realized by us. When the Lord as the great I Am comes into us as life, He shines within us as light, which brings the divine element as reality into us. This reality, which is the divine element imparted into us and realized by us, sets us free from the bondage of sin by the divine life as the light of man. The Son of God as the very fullness of the Godhead is the reality. While He shines in us as life, He works His reality, His divine element, into our being. This is not merely shining; it is a shining that brings the reality of what God is into our being. Eventually, day after day, and year after year, this divine element will be accumulated in our being. Thus, within our being there will be a certain amount of divine reality. No one can deny this. I have been a seeking Christian for over fifty years. I do not say that I cannot fall or be stumbled. Perhaps tomorrow I shall be stumbled by my dear wife or by one of the brothers. Nevertheless, regardless of how much I may be stumbled, the divine element that has been wrought into my being during the past fifty years can never be lost. Even if I stumble, I will stumble with a great deal of the divine element. By the shining of the inner life and by the working of the divine element in our very being, we are set free from the slavery of sin. This resembles the medical treatment designed to cure diseases in our blood. It is very difficult to eliminate the disease from our blood. We need medicine. If I take the medicine several times a day, the medicine will, on the one hand, destroy the germs and, on the other hand, add a positive element into my body organically. This positive element will supply nourishment to the tissues of my body. Eventually, the disease will be swallowed up. By such a metabolic process, the old element is discharged and replaced by a new element. This is the way that the divine life sets us free from the bondage of sin. It is not a matter of reckoning yourself dead according to Romans 6. Many of us have tried this in the past and found that it does not work. No, you must experience the living Jesus in you as the shining light and as the divine element that works inwardly. Eventually, the heavenly, divine element will be added into your being. This is our salvation.
5主怎能使我们不再犯罪?祂怎能使我们自由,脱离罪的奴役和辖制?就是因为那伟大的『我是』成了我们的生命,这生命就是生命的光。当我们接受祂,祂就成了我们的生命,这生命就成了光,带我们脱离罪的黑暗。只有生命的光能使我们得以自由,脱离罪的辖制与奴役。主能赦免我们的罪,因为祂是在十字架上被举起来,为我们而死的人子。如今主能拯救我们,使我们自由,脱离罪的奴役,因为祂是活在我们里面那伟大的『我是。』祂现今成了生命,就是我们里面的光。这生命的光能使我们得以自由,脱离罪的奴役,并拯救我们脱离罪的黑暗。因此我们必须领悟,只有藉著基督成为我们的生命和光,我们才能得著自由。再者,这生命与光也要带我们进入真理,就是进入实际。你接受并享受主耶稣作生命和光,就会发现这神圣的生命和光要带你进入实际。你被带进实际之后,就要蒙拯救脱离虚谎。人之所以容易犯罪,乃是由于他们是在虚谎中生的。他们是从魔鬼,就是神的仇敌生的,因此生来就是说谎的。魔鬼,说谎者的父,是最大的说谎者。因此,说谎者的父,已经把所有的罪人带进虚谎的黑暗里。魔鬼的生命已经将他们带进黑暗里,黑暗已经将他们带进虚谎里。因此,只要人在虚谎里,就非常容易犯罪。但是赞美主,现今我们已接受主在我们里面作我们的生命和光。这生命和光带我们进入实际,实际就使我们得以自由,脱离罪的辖制与奴役。
5How can the Lord keep us from sinning anymore? How can He set us free from the slavery and bondage of sin? Simply because the great I Am has become our life, and this life is the light of life. When we received Him, He became our life, and this life becomes the very light that brings us out of the darkness of sin. Only the light of life can set us free from the bondage and slavery of sin. The Lord could forgive us because He is the Son of Man who died for us by being lifted up on the cross. Now the Lord can deliver us and set us free from the bondage of sin because He is the great I Am living within us. He now becomes the life that is the light within us. This light of life can set us free from the bondage of sin and deliver us out of the darkness of sin. We must realize, therefore, that we are set free only by Christ becoming our life and light. Furthermore, this life and light will also bring us into the truth, that is, into the reality. After you receive and enjoy the Lord Jesus as your life and light, you will find that this very divine life and light will bring you into reality. After you are brought into reality, you will be delivered from falsehood. The reason why people easily commit sin is that they were born in falsehood. Since they were born of the devil, the enemy of God, they were all born liars. The devil, the father of liars, is the greatest liar. Hence, the father of liars has brought all sinners into the darkness of falsehood. The devilish life has brought them into darkness, and darkness has brought them into falsehood. Thus, it is very easy for people to commit sin as long as they are in falsehood. But, praise the Lord, we now have received the Lord within us as our life and light. This life and light bring us into reality, which will free us from the bondage and slavery of sin
6在这段话里,有两个父之间的比较。一是说谎者的父,是虚谎、杀人、奸淫的父。原初,我们是这父所生的。我们不该以为,我们仅仅是我们的父母所生的。一面我们是父母所生的,但另一面我们是那邪恶的谎言之父所生的。他是最大的说谎者,我们这些小说谎者生来都是说谎者。『你们是出于那父魔鬼。』(约八44。)我们是这谎言之父所生的。结果我们生来就是谎言之子。我们不该认为我们生来是美国人或中国人,因我们每个人生来都是说谎的。
6In this passage there is the comparison between two fathers. One is the father of liars, the father of falsehood, murder, and adultery. Originally, we were born of this father. We should not think that we were merely born of our parents. On the one hand, we were born of our parents, but on the other hand, we were born of the evil father of lies. He is the greatest liar, and we, the smaller liars, were all born liars. “You are of your father the devil” (8:44). We were born of this father of lies. Consequently, we were born sons of lies. We should not think that we were born Americans or Chinese, for each one of us was born a liar.
7赞美主,还有另一位父,是天上的父,是光与真理之父。祂是那伟大的『我是,』祂成为肉体来作人。祂是人子,为我们的罪在十字架上被举起来,并且为我们死了。现在我们若信入祂,并相信祂为我们所作的,这位伟大的『我是,』生命的父,就要进入我们里面,作我们的生命与光。然后祂就要拯救我们,从虚谎进入实际,从黑暗进入光明的国,在那里我们就得以自由,脱离罪的辖制与奴役。
7Praise the Lord that there is another father, the heavenly Father, the Father of light and truth. He is the great I Am, who became incarnated as a man. As the Son of Man, He was lifted up on the cross for our sin and died for us. Now, if we believe in Him and in what He has done for us, He, as the great I Am, the Father of life, will come into us to be our life and light. Then He will deliver us from falsehood into reality and from darkness into the kingdom of light, where we will be set free from the bondage and slavery of sin
肆 主的身位
IV. THE PERSON OF THE LORD
8在这章里还不只有这些,因为这章还启示了主的身位,给我们看见主是谁。
8There is still more in this chapter, for it reveals the person of the Lord. It shows us who the Lord is
一 那伟大的『我是』
A. The Great I Am
9主就是耶和华,那伟大的『我是。』(约八24,28,58。)『我是』乃是『耶和华』这名的意义。(出三14。)耶和华是神的名字,(创二7,)亦即那昔是今是以后永是的,就是那自有永有的,(启一4,出三14~15,)用于神与人的关系。因此,这名指明主是那与人有关系之永存的神。主这伟大的『我是,』乃是从亘古存到永远的永远者。祂没有时间的始与终。祂是伟大的『我是,』是自有的那一位,一直存在到永远。祂不单是拿
9The Lord is Jehovah, the great I Am (8:24, 28, 58). I Am is the meaning of the name Jehovah (Exo. 3:14), and Jehovah is the name of God in relation to man (Gen. 2:7). Hence, it denotes the Lord as the ever-existing God in relation to man. The Lord as the great I Am is the everlasting One who exists from eternity unto eternity. He is without beginning or end of time. As the great I Am, He is the self-existing One, ever existing for eternity. He is not only Jesus, a man from Nazareth; He is the great I Am
10撒勒人耶稣,祂乃是伟大的『我是。』
10
11说主是『我是,』意思就是祂是我们所需的一切。正如一张空白支票,你可以在上面填入你所需要的数目。你若需要光,只要填入光,主就要成为你的光。你若需要安慰,主就要成为你的安慰。这种支票绝不会跳票,因为在属天户头下的存款绝不会短缺。尽管放胆写下大笔数目。你填写甚么,全在于你。主是你所需的一切。现在看你怎么填入你真正的需要。祂是那伟大的『我是。』
11To say that the Lord is the I Am means that He is whatever we need. It is like having a blank check on which you may fill in the amount that you need. If you need light, you simply fill in light, and the Lord will be your light. If you need comfort, the Lord will be your comfort. This kind of check will never bounce, for there is never a shortage of deposits in the heavenly account. Be bold to write in a big amount. What you write in is up to you. The Lord is everything you need. Now it’sup to you to fill in what you actually need. He is the great I Am.
二 在亚伯拉罕之前,也比亚伯拉罕大
B. Before Abraham and Greater Than Abraham
12主是伟大的『我是,』是永远长存的神,祂在亚伯拉罕之前,也比亚伯拉罕大。(约八53。)犹太人不领会这事,就与主争论。『于是犹太人对祂说,你还没有五十岁,岂见过亚伯拉罕?耶稣对他们说,我实实在在的告诉你们,还没有亚伯拉罕,我就是。』(约八57~58。)这里的文法很怪,因为主说,『还没有亚伯拉罕,我就是。』按文法主应该说,『我已是。』但祂是现时的一位,祂是『我是。』无论是过去、现在、或将来,祂总是现时的一位。
12As the great I Am, the eternal, ever-existing God, the Lord is before Abraham and greater than Abraham (8:53). The Jews did not understand this and argued with the Lord. “The Jews then said to Him, You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham? Jesus said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham came into being, I am” (8:57-58). The grammar here is awkward, for the Lord said, “Before Abraham came into being, I am.” According to grammar, He should have said, “I was.” But He is the present One, the I Am. Whether it is past, present, or future, He is always the present One
三 那作实际的子
C. The Son as Reality
13我们曾指出,凭著三十二节和三十六节看,子就是实际。主是子,乃是实际,将一切神圣的元素分赐到信祂的人里面。
13As we have pointed out by what is mentioned in verses 32 and 36, the Son is the reality. The Lord is the Son as reality for imparting all the divine element into His believers
四 人子
D. The Son of Man
14主的另一面是:祂是人子。一面祂是那伟大的『我是,』另一面祂是人子。(约八28。)犹太人举起了人子,但他们不能举起那『我是。』这似乎很希奇。但根据二十八节,他们举起人子的时候,必知道祂是耶和华,是那伟大的『我是。』祂在蛇的形状里,为中了蛇毒的人被举起来,为要将那古蛇赶出去。(约三14,十二31~34,启十二9,二十。)祂被举起来是要对付蛇的性情,并蛇本身。主怎能成为无罪的一位?因为祂是耶和华,是那伟大的『我是。』主怎能定罪罪?也因为祂是那伟大的『我是。』但祂是耶和华,祂如何能赦罪?你必须记住,耶和华绝不能赦免罪。耶和华若赦免人的罪,就会使自己成为不义的。只有一个办法能叫祂赦免罪,那就是藉著成为人子,并被钉在十字架上。换句话说,祂只能藉救赎来赦罪。没有救赎,神自己绝不能赦罪。没有救赎,就没有立场赦罪。因为祂作人子在十字架上被举起来,担负了我们的罪,并救赎了我们脱离一切的罪,祂就有立场来赦免罪。
14Another aspect of the Lord is that He is the Son of Man. On the one hand, He is the great I Am; on the other hand, He is the Son of Man (8:28). The Jewish people lifted up the Son of Man, but they could not lift up the I Am. This seems quite strange, but according to verse 28, it is only when they lift up the Son of Man that they will know Him as Jehovah, the great I Am. He was lifted up for the serpent - poisoned sinners in the form of a serpent in order to cast out the old serpent (John 3:14; 12:31-34; Rev. 12:9; 20:2). He was lifted up in order to deal with the serpentine nature 2 and with the serpent himself. How could the Lord be the One who was sinless? Because He is Jehovah, the great I Am. How could the Lord condemn sin? Also because He is the great I Am. But how can He as Jehovah forgive sin? You must remember that Jehovah could never forgive sin. If Jehovah forgave sin, He simply would have made Himself unrighteous. There is only one way for Him to forgive sin, and that is by being the Son of Man and being crucified on the cross. In other words, He could only forgive sin by redemption. Without redemption God Himself would have been unable to forgive sin. Without redemption there would have been no ground for the forgiveness of sin. Because He was lifted up on the cross as the Son of Man, bore our sins, and redeemed us from all of our sins, He had the position to forgive sins.
15整本约翰福音也启示主是话和灵。这样一个思想贯穿整卷约翰福音。你一旦在这卷福音书里看见了主奇妙的身位,你就会问说,『祂在那里?我怎样才能接触祂?』赞美主,祂在话里,也在灵里;因为祂是话,祂也是灵。现在你既有了话,也有了灵。你若接触那灵,又接受那话,你就有了主自己。藉著住留在主的话里,你就有了一切。(约八。)你若一直与主的话接触,你就住在主自己里面。藉著接触话,你就接触了永远生命的源头。结果,因著你一直与主自己接触,你就可以永远不尝死味。(约八51。)这已经由历史得到证实。有些圣徒临死的时候,即使濒临死亡,也没有尝到死味。例如,慕迪(D.L.Moody)临死的时候,死得十分勇敢。他死而未尝死味,因为他是住在主里面,并接触生命的源头。照样,我们若不断住留在主的话里,我们也要一直接触生命的源头,那么我们就绝不会尝到死味。我们要经过死而不尝死味。约翰福音是一卷生命的书。在这卷福音书里人多次问主问题,想要得到是或否的答覆。然而,主绝不说是或否。譬如,在四章撒玛利亚妇人说,『我们的祖宗在这山上敬拜,你们倒说,敬拜的地方必须在耶路撒冷。』(约四。)换句话说,她在问祂那里是敬拜的正确地方。主耶稣没有说那里是正确的地方。祂说,神是灵,我们必须在灵里敬拜祂。(约四24。)不是这里那里的问题,乃是在灵里的问题;我们在灵里,就能接触神这生命树。主没有答覆她是或不是,乃是把她转到她人的灵里,接触神这生命树。在八章原则也是一样,当法利赛人带来一个有罪的妇人,问主该不该用石头将她打死,主也不给他们是或否的答覆。祂说,『你们中间谁是没有罪的,谁就先拿石头打她。』(约八7。)主的答覆将他们转向主,就是生命树。后来到九章,门徒问主一个问题,那个生来瞎眼的人,到底是因谁犯了罪,是这人,还是他父母?主回答他们说,『不是这人犯了罪,也不是他父母犯了罪,乃是要在他身上显明神的作为。』(约九3。)主再次将他们引向神,就是生命树。约翰福音是一卷生命的书,从来不按照善恶知识树给人答覆,乃是一直把人转向生命树。没有对或错、善或恶、是或否的答覆,只有一件事-生命。你无须对,正如你无须错一样。你只需要顾到生命。当你有了生命,一切就都好了。
15The whole Gospel of John also reveals that the Lord is the Word and the Spirit. There is such a thought throughout the whole Gospel. Once you see the wonderful person of the Lord in this Gospel, you will ask, “Where is He and how can I contact Him?” Praise the Lord that He is in the Word and in the Spirit, for He is the Word and He is the Spirit. You now have both the Word and the Spirit. If you contact the Spirit and receive the Word, you then have the Lord Himself. You have everything by abiding and continuing in the Word of the Lord (8:31). If you keep yourself in contact with the Word of the Lord, it means that you are abiding 31 in the Lord Himself. By contacting the Word, you are contacting the source of the eternal and everlasting life. Consequently, because you are always in contact with the Lord Himself, you will never taste death (8:51). This has been proved by history. When some of the saints were about to die, they did not taste death even though they were dying. For example, wh enD. L. Moody was dying, he died bravely. He died without tasting death, because he was abiding in the Lord and contacting the source of life. Likewise, if we will abide and continue in the Word of the Lord, we will also contact the source of life all of the time. Then we will never taste death. We will pass through death without tasting it. The Gospel of John is a book of life. Many times in this Gospel people asked the Lord questions with the intention of receiving a yes or no answer. However, the Lord never answered yes or no. For example, in chapter four the Samaritan woman said, “Our fathers worshipped in this mountain, and you say that in Jerusalem is the place where men must worship” (4:20). In other words, she was asking Him which 20 place was the right place in which to worship. The Lord Jesus did not say which place was right. He said that God is Spirit and that we must worship Him in spirit (4:24). It is not a matter of here or there; it is a matter in the spirit in which we can contact God, the tree of life. The Lord Jesus did not answer her with a yes or a no, but turned her to the human spirit to contact God, the tree of life. The principle is the same in chapter eight when the Pharisees brought a sinful woman and asked the Lord whether or not she should be stoned. Again, the Lord did not give a yes or no answer. He said, “He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her” (8:7). The Lord’s answer turned them to the Lord, the tree of life. Later, when we come to chapter nine, we shall see that the disciples asked the Lord a question about the man who was blind from birth, inquiring whose sin, his or his parents, had caused him to be born blind. The Lord answered them by saying, “Neither has this man sinned nor his parents, but that the works of God might be manifested in him” (9:3). Once again, the Lord answered by pointing them to God, the tree of life. The Gospel of John is a book of life and it never gives answers that are according to the tree of knowledge of good and evil, but always turns people to the tree of life. There are no answers of right or wrong, good or bad, yes or no. There is only one thing—life. You do not need to be right, just like you do not need to be wrong. You need only to care for life. When you have life, everything is fine.
