二月五日上帝的律法永不改变
彰显主基督-第37章
God’s Law Is Changeless, February 5
彰显主基督-第37章
“现在这世界受审判,这世界的王要被赶出去。我若从地上被举起来,就要吸引万人来归我”(约12:31,32)。{RC50.1}
彰显主基督-第37章
Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. John 12:31, 32. {RC 50.1}
彰显主基督-第37章
上帝的律法既与上帝自己同样神圣,所以只有那与上帝同等的一位才能为违犯律法的人类赎罪。除了基督之外,没有人能救赎堕落的人类脱离律法的咒诅,并使他们重新与上天和谐。基督愿意把犯罪的疚责和耻辱归到自己身上──这罪在圣洁的上帝看来是那么可憎,甚至圣父与圣子必须分离。基督愿意下到祸患的深渊来拯救败亡的人类。(PP63){RC50.2}
彰显主基督-第37章
Since the divine law is as sacred as God Himself, only one equal with God could make atonement for its transgression. None but Christ could redeem fallen man from the curse of the law, and bring him again into harmony with Heaven. Christ would take upon Himself the guilt and shame of sin—sin so offensive to a holy God that it must separate the Father and His Son. Christ would reach to the depths of misery to rescue the ruined race.—Patriarchs and Prophets, 63. {RC 50.2}
彰显主基督-第37章
救赎的计划除了拯救人类之外,还有更宽更深的宗旨。基督来到世上不单是为要拯救人类,也不单是为要叫这小小世界的居民对于上帝的律法有正确的认识,而也是为要在全宇宙之前彰显上帝的品德。救主在被钉之前,曾展望祂伟大牺牲的结果,就是这牺牲在人类身上以及在其他诸世界的居民身上的影响,便这样说:“现在这世界受审判;这世界的王要被赶出去。我若从地上被举起来,就要吸引万人来归我”(约12:31-32)。{RC50.3}
彰显主基督-第37章
The plan of redemption had a yet broader and deeper purpose than the salvation of man. It was not for this alone that Christ came to the earth; it was not merely that the inhabitants of this little world might regard the law of God as it should be regarded; but it was to vindicate the character of God before the universe. To this result of His great sacrifice—its influence upon the intelligences of other worlds, as well as upon man—the Saviour looked forward when just before His crucifixion He said: “Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.” {RC 50.3}
彰显主基督-第37章
基督为拯救人类而死,这一件事不单要使世人得与上天接近,而也要在全宇宙之前证明上帝和祂的儿子对于撒但背叛的处理是公正的,并且要坚定上帝律法的永久性,显明罪的性质及其结果。{RC50.4}
彰显主基督-第37章
The act of Christ in dying for the salvation of man would not only make heaven accessible to men, but before all the universe it would justify God and His Son in their dealing with the rebellion of Satan. It would establish the perpetuity of the law of God, and would reveal the nature and the results of sin. {RC 50.4}
彰显主基督-第37章
善恶之争的焦点从起初就集中在上帝的律法上。撒但曾设法证明上帝是不公的,祂的律法是有缺点的,而且为了全宇宙的利益,这律法必须有所改变。他攻击律法,目的就在推翻设立律法之主的威权。在善恶的斗争中,可以证明上帝的律法或有缺点而需要改变的,或是完全而永不变更的。……{RC50.5}
彰显主基督-第37章
From the first the great controversy had been upon the law of God. Satan had sought to prove that God was unjust, that His law was faulty, and that the good of the universe required it to be changed. In attacking the law he aimed to overthrow the authority of its Author. In the controversy it was to be shown whether the divine statutes were defective and subject to change, or perfect and immutable.... {RC 50.5}
彰显主基督-第37章
全天庭都注意祂所受的侮辱和戏弄,并知道这都是出于撒但的鼓动。他们注意着两种相反的势力在进行斗争。撒但经常把黑暗,忧愁和痛苦压在人的身上,基督则予以抵消。他们注视着那光明与黑暗之间越来越厉害的搏斗。当基督在十字架上惨痛绝命呼喊“成了”的时候,就有胜利的欢呼传遍整个天庭和诸世界。那在世上这么长久进行着的大争战已经有结果了。基督是胜利者。圣父和圣子是否对人类有充足的爱心,是否有克己和牺牲的精神,这个问题已由基督的死来决定了。撒但说谎和残杀的真面目也暴露出来了。……{RC50.6}可是基督担当人类违犯律法的刑罚这一件事,乃是对于一切受造之生灵的有力证据,证明律法不能改变的,上帝是公义,慈悲并舍己的;又说明在祂的政权之下,无限的公正和慈悲是分不开的。(PP68-70){RC50.7}
彰显主基督-第37章
Heaven marked the insult and mockery that He received, and knew that it was at Satan’s instigation.... They watched the battle between light and darkness as it waxed stronger. And as Christ in His expiring agony upon the cross cried out, “It is finished” (John 19:30), a shout of triumph rang through every world and through heaven itself.... Satan had revealed his true character.... The very fact that Christ bore the penalty of man’s transgression is a mighty argument to all created intelligences that the law is changeless; that God is righteous, merciful, and self-denying; and that infinite justice and mercy unite in the administration of His government.—Patriarchs and Prophets, 68-70. {RC 50.6}
