6来十二2 “望断以及于耶稣,就是我们信心的创始者与成终者;祂为那摆在前面的喜乐,就轻看羞辱,忍受了十字架,便坐在神宝座的右边。”
6Heb. 12:2 Looking away unto Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down on the right hand of the throne of God.
7弗五25 “作丈夫的,要爱你们的妻子,正如基督爱召会,为召会舍了自己。”
7Eph. 5:25 Husbands, love your wives even as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her.
8以弗所五章二十五节告诉我们,基督爱召会,为召会舍了自己。基督爱召会,为召会舍己,乃是为着救赎和分赐生命。按约翰十九章三十四节,有血和水从主被扎的肋旁流出来。血是为着救赎,水是为着分赐生命,使召会能产生。以弗所五章二十五节说到召会的产生是借着基督爱召会,为召会舍了自己。(新约总论第三册,二五九至二六○页。)
8Ephesians 5:25 tells us that Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her. Christ’s loving the church and giving Himself up for her was for redemption and for the impartation of life. According to John 19:34, blood and water came out of the Lord’s pierced side. The blood was for redemption, and the water was for the impartation of life so that the church might come into existence. In Ephesians 5:25 we have the church coming into existence through Christ’s loving her and giving Himself up for her. (The Conclusion of the New Testament, p. 754)

9基督在祂的死里为我们的罪献上自己作祭物。希伯来十章十二节说,“这一位既为罪一次献上祭物,就永久在神的右边坐下了。”旧约的祭司天天站着,(来十11,)一再献上同样的祭物,因为他们所献上的永不能除罪。…基督献上祂自己,就完成了除罪的事。…基督为着罪将自己当作那唯一的祭物献给神,就把罪除掉。祂坐在天上乃是除罪的事已经成就的标记和证明。(一3。)祂无须再为罪作什么,因祂已经一次永远地作成了。
9In His death Christ offered Himself as a sacrifice for our sins. Hebrews 10:12 says, “This One, having offered one sacrifice for sins, sat down forever on the right hand of God.” The priests in the old covenant stood daily (v. 11) and offered the same sacrifices again and again, because what they offered could not take away sins…It was Christ’s offering of Himself that has accomplished the taking away of sins…Christ has put away sin by offering Himself to God as the unique sacrifice for sin. His sitting in heaven is a sign and proof that the taking away of sins has been accomplished (1:3). He no longer needs to do anything for sin, for He has done it once for all.
10基督在十字架上担当我们的罪。按以赛亚五十三章六节,基督在十字架上的时候,神将我们一切的罪都归在神这羔羊身上。希伯来九章二十八节说,基督“一次被献,担当了多人的罪”。基督一次受死,担当了我们的罪,并且在十字架上为我们受了审判。(赛五三511。)
10On the cross Christ bore our sins. According to Isaiah 53:6, when Christ was on the cross, God took all our sins and put them upon this Lamb of God. Hebrews 9:28 says that Christ has been “offered once to bear the sins of many.” Christ died once to bear our sins, and He suffered the judgment for us on the cross (Isa. 53:5, 11).
11彼前二章二十四节告诉我们,基督“在木头上,在祂的身体里,亲自担当了我们的罪,使我们既然向罪死了,就得以向义活着”。这里的木头,指木头作的十字架,为罗马人处决罪犯的刑具,如旧约所预言的。(申二一23加三13。)这里的罪,如在希伯来九章二十八节,指我们在外面行为上所犯的罪;而约翰一章二十九节的罪,指我们生来在性情里的罪。基督为我们的罪死了,在十字架上担当我们的罪,使我们能蒙神赦免。…基督在祂的死里不仅担当我们的罪,甚至为我们成为罪。“神使那不知罪的,替我们成为罪。”(林后五21。)这指明神使基督为我们成为罪。基督没有接触罪,或亲身经历罪,所以就经历说,祂是不知罪的。(参约八46彼前二22来四15七26。)…然而,祂成为罪,并除去世人的罪,使罪的问题得以解决。
11First Peter 2:24 tells us that Christ “bore up our sins in His body on the tree, in order that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness.” The tree in this verse denotes the cross made of wood, a Roman instrument of capital punishment for the execution of malefactors, as prophesied in the Old Testament (Deut. 21:23; Gal. 3:13). Sins here, as in Hebrews 9:28, refer to sins we commit in our outward conduct, whereas sin in John 1:29 refers to the sin that is in our nature by birth. Christ died for our sins, carrying up our sins onto the cross, that we might be forgiven by God. In His death Christ not only bore our sins but even became sin for us. “Him who did not know sin He made sin on our behalf” (2 Cor. 5:21). This indicates that God made Christ sin for us. Christ did not know sin in an experiential way by contact or personal experience (cf. John 8:46; 1 Pet. 2:22; Heb. 4:15; 7:26)…Nevertheless, He became sin and took away the sin of the world so that the problem of sin might be solved.
12基督在十字架的工作里,也赶出这世界的王,并审判他的世界。“现在这世界受审判,这世界的王要被赶出去。”(约十二31。)这指明基督在祂死里的工作,包括赶出这世界的王撒但。撒但以为他使主耶稣钉十字架是智慧的。事实上,因着这样作,撒但使自己被赶出去。十字架是神赶出撒但所用的方法。
12In His work on the cross Christ also cast out the ruler of this world and judged his world. “Now is the judgment of this world; now shall the ruler of this world be cast out” (John 12:31). This indicates that Christ’s work in His death included the casting out of Satan, the ruler of this world. Satan thought that he was wise in having the Lord Jesus crucified. Actually, by doing this, Satan caused himself to be cast out. The cross was the way used by God to cast out Satan.
13在十字架的工作里,主耶稣死了,乃是一粒麦子落在地里死了,以释放神圣的生命:“一粒麦子不落在地里死了,仍旧是一粒;若是死了,就结出许多子粒来。”(24。)基督包罗万有的死释放了在祂里面神圣的生命。作为一粒麦子,祂死了,释放出神圣的生命并点活神所救赎的人,以产生许多子粒;这些子粒能调和为一个饼献给神。这饼就是召会,基督的身体。(林前十17。)(新约总论第三册,二六六至二六七、二七一、二七五、二七九、二九○页。)
13In His work on the cross the Lord Jesus died as a grain of wheat falling into death for the release of the divine life. “Unless the grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it abides alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit” (v. 24). Christ’s all-inclusive death released the divine life that was within Him. As a grain of wheat, He died to release the divine life and to enliven God’s redeemed ones, to produce many grains that can be blended together in a loaf to be offered to God. This loaf is the church, the Body of Christ (1 Cor. 10:17). (The Conclusion of the New Testament, pp. 760, 764-765, 767, 770771, 779)

今日要点
15主题:基督为着摆在前面的喜乐,轻看羞辱,忍受了十字架
15
16引经:来十二1~2弗五25
16
171.基督为着摆在前面的喜乐,行完前面的路程:
17
18A.希伯来十一章说到许多信的见证人所走信心的道路,而十二章1~2节说,『所以,我们既有这许多的见证人,如同云彩围着我们,就当脱去各样的重担,和容易缠累我们的罪,凭着忍耐奔那摆在我们前头的赛程,望断以及于耶稣,就是我们信心的创始者与成终者;祂为那摆在前面的喜乐,就轻看羞辱,忍受了十字架,便坐在神宝座的右边。 』
18
19B.根据上下文,见证人欢喜的走完他们的路程,那摆在我们前头的赛程,那摆在基督前面的喜乐,是平行的,意思就是,对那些见证人,他们走完了那摆在他们前头的赛程,基督也为着父的喜悦,视摆在祂前面的赛程—十字架—为摆在前面的喜乐,保罗也鼓励信徒,要奔那摆在我们前头的赛程,也就是我们前头的喜乐。
19
202.基督爱召会,为召会舍己:
20
21A.以弗所五章二十五节告诉我们,这位主是爱召会的基督,主爱召会,为召会舍了自己,完成了祂在地上的路程,因此召会的产生乃是借着基督爱召会,位召会舍了自己;祂忍受了十架,因为祂在十字架上完成了许多事项,第一,祂为我们的罪献上自己作祭物,第二,祂在十字架上担当了多人的罪,第三,基督在十字架上,为信徒成为罪。
21
22B.第四,基督在十字架上的工作里,也赶出这世界的王,并审判这世界,这是撒但要把主钉十字架时没有想到的,第五,基督在十字架的工作里,主作为一粒麦子落在地里死了,以释放神圣的生命,并点活所有神所救赎的人,以产生许多子粒,调和成为一个饼,就是召会,基督的身体。
22
23应用:为着基督不仅担当我们的罪,更为我们成为罪,祂这位不知罪的,为我们亲身经历罪,使罪的问题得解决,而每天早晨起来就更新奉献自己,并划定时间享受主给我们的新约,并在每个主日有分擘饼聚会,记念祂所为我们成就的一切。
