3三 歌罗西二章十五节描绘在基督钉十字架的时候所进行的争战:
3
41 基督钉十字架的时候在作工完成救赎;父神在作工审判罪。
4
52 同时,执政的和掌权的也忙着企图阻挠神与基督的工作——15节。
5
63 执政的和掌权的是那些作撒但部属,为他作工的邪恶天使,堕落天使——弗二2
6
74 神审判罪的时候,邪恶的执政者和掌权者也在场,并且非常活跃,群集在钉十字架的基督四周,紧紧围逼——西二15
7
8a 他们若没有紧紧围逼,神就无法将他们脱下。

9b “脱下”这辞指明执政的和掌权的非常接近,像我们的衣服和身体那样接近。

11西二13~15 “…神赦免了你们一切的过犯,叫你们一同与基督活过来;涂抹了规条上所写,攻击我们,反对我们的字据,并且把它撤去,钉在十字架上。既将执政的和掌权的脱下,神就把他们公然示众,仗着十字架在凯旋中向他们夸胜。”
11Col. 2:13-15 And you…He made alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our offenses; wiping out the handwriting in ordinances, which was against us, which was contrary to us; and He has taken it out of the way, nailing it to the cross. Stripping off the rulers and the authorities, He made a display of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
12按照歌罗西二章十五节,神将执政的和掌权的脱下。…我们…必须看见,当基督在十字架上时,神一直在作事。那时十字架乃是宇宙的中心。救主、罪、撒但、我们和神都在那里。神在那里审判罪,并将律法钉在十字架上。当祂这样作的时候,执政的和掌权的全都围着神和基督。…十三至十五节的主词乃是神。神叫我们一同与基督活过来,将规条钉在十字架上,将执政的和掌权的脱下,把他们公然示众,并在凯旋中向他们夸胜。毫无疑问,当基督被钉十字架时,执政的和掌权的都群聚在祂周围。神和基督都一直在作事。基督的工作是被钉死,神的工作则是审判罪和一切消极的事物,并将律法和律法的规条钉在十字架上。围着神和基督的那些执政者和掌权者也在作事。他们若没有紧紧围逼,神怎能将他们脱下?“脱下”这辞指明,他们靠得很近,就像我们的衣服与我们的身体那样接近。神借着将执政的和掌权的脱下,就把他们公然示众。祂公开地羞辱他们,并且在凯旋中向他们夸胜。这是何等大的一件事!(歌罗西书生命读经,二三四至二三五页。)
12According to Colossians 2:15, God stripped off the rulers and authorities… We must see that while Christ was on the cross, God was working. At that time the cross was the center of the universe. The Savior, sin, Satan, we, and God all were there. God was there judging sin and nailing the law to the cross. As He was doing this, the rulers and authorities gathered around God and Christ…The subject of verses 13 through 15 is God…God made us alive together with Christ, nailed the ordinances to the cross, stripped off the rulers and authorities, made a display of them openly, and triumphed over them. No doubt, the rulers and authorities had swarmed around Christ as He was being crucified. Both God and Christ were working. Christ’s work was His crucifixion, whereas God’s work was to judge sin and all the negative things and to nail the law with its ordinances to the cross. The rulers and authorities who had gathered around God and Christ were also working. If they had not pressed in closely, how could God have stripped them off? The words stripping off indicate that they were very close, as close as our garments are to our body. By stripping off the rulers and authorities, God made a display of them openly. He openly put them to shame and triumphed over them. What a great matter this is! (Life-study of Colossians, second edition, pp. 190-191)

13歌罗西二章十五节描绘发生在基督被钉十字架时的争战。恶人把基督钉在十字架上,但基督借着钉十字架,劳苦地成功了救赎。父神也在那里工作,审判罪,并将律法钉在十字架上。同时,执政的和掌权的也忙着要阻挠神和基督的工作。十五节的夸胜含示争战,指明有一场争战正在进行。当基督正在成功救赎,神正在对付律法和消极的事物时,执政的和掌权的都来打岔。他们围逼神和基督。但就在这关头,神将他们脱下,胜过了他们,并把他们公然示众,公开地羞辱他们。
13Colossians 2:15 portrays the fighting that took place at the time of Christ’s crucifixion. Evil men had put Christ on the cross. By His crucifixion Christ labored to accomplish redemption. God the Father was also working to judge sin and to nail the law to the cross. At the same time, the rulers and authorities were busy in the attempt to frustrate the work of God and Christ. The reference to triumph in verse 15 implies fighting. It indicates that a war was raging. While Christ was accomplishing redemption and God was dealing with the law and with the negative things, the rulers and authorities came to interfere. They pressed in close to God and Christ. But at that very juncture, God stripped them off, triumphed over them, and made a display of them openly, putting them to an open shame.
14二章十五节是一扇小窗,透过这扇窗子,我们看到一幅奇妙的景观。当基督钉十字架时,神与执政者和掌权者之间,有一场争战在进行。但神将他们脱下,并且在凯旋中向他们夸胜。
14Colossians 2:15 is a small window through which we behold a marvelous sight. At the time of Christ’s crucifixion, a battle was raging between God and the rulers and authorities. But God stripped them off and triumphed over them.
15保罗在这几节中的观念乃是:律法与天使都借着十字架被摆在一旁了。律法已经钉在十字架上,邪恶的天使也借着十字架被脱下了。因此,在神救恩的经纶里,律法和天使的执政者都没有地位。歌罗西人遵行规条并敬拜天使,这是何等的错谬!…容许这些事物侵入召会中,是完全错误的。
15Paul’s concept in these verses is that the law and the angels have been set aside through the cross. The law was nailed to the cross, and the evil angels have been stripped off by means of the cross. Therefore, in God’s economy in His salvation there is room neither for the law nor for the angelic rulers. How wrong the Colossians were in following ordinances and in worshipping angels…[and] in allowing these things to pervade the church.
16在神救恩的经纶中,神先点活我们,将律法钉在十字架上,并将邪恶的执政者和掌权者脱下。…因着神已除去了律法和天使,我们这些神所拣选的人就得以脱开这些而同祂在一起。我们不再受名目、条件和要求的困扰。神在此要点活我们,我们在此要被祂点活。我们应当忘掉律法和天使,只让神把祂自己放到我们里面作生命。
16In the economy of His salvation God enlivens us, nails the law to the cross, and strips off the evil rulers and authorities…Because God has removed the law and the angels, we, His chosen people, are alone with Him. We are no longer bothered by terms, conditions, or requirements. God is here to enliven us, and we are here to be enlivened by Him. We should forget the law and the angels and allow God to put Himself into us as life.
17我们该提醒执政的和掌权的说,在加略山那里,神已经将他们脱下,并在凯旋中向他们夸胜。我们可以基于神的得胜,吩咐他们退去。我们今天所需要的,不是律法或天使,乃是点活人的那一位,就是赐人生命的那一位。这就是神救恩的经纶。(歌罗西书生命读经,二三五至二三六、二三八至二三九页。)
17We should remind the rulers and authorities that at Calvary God stripped them off and triumphed over them. Based upon God’s victory we can order them to flee. What we need today is not the law or the angels but the enlivening One, the life-giving One. This is the economy of God’s salvation. (Life-study of Colossians, second edition, pp. 191-194)

今日要点
19主题:基督为着摆在前面的喜乐,完成了在十架上的工作
19
20引经:西二13~15
20
211.基督在十字架上详尽的描绘:
21
22A.关于基督在十字架上的工作,西二15有非常详尽的描绘,那里描绘了在基督钉十字架的时候所进行的争战,那时的场景似乎所有角色都很忙,恶人忙着把基督钉在十字架上,基督也忙着留在十字架上,执政的和掌权的,也就是邪恶的天使也忙着围绕在那里,神也忙着审判罪,并将律法钉在十字架上,最后,神将邪恶的天使脱下,公然示众,公开的羞辱他们。
22
23B.十三至十五节的主词乃是神,这里有一扇小窗,透过这窗子,我们看见一幅奇妙的景观,神叫我们与基督一同活过来,祂作工完成救赎时,父神作工审判罪,同时,执政的和掌权的作为撒但的部署,也忙着企图阻挠神与基督的工作,他们紧紧围逼,神就将执政的和掌权的脱下,把他们公然示众,羞辱他们,并仗着十字架向他们夸胜,这是何等的大事。
23
242.基督行完那摆在祂前面的喜乐,所成就的大事:
24
25A.保罗在这几节的观念是,律法与天使都借着十字架被摆在一旁,律法已经被钉,邪恶的天使也已经被脱下,在神救恩的经纶中,歌罗西人所高举的律法与天使,都没有地位,神已经将我们点活,将律法钉在十架,将邪恶天使脱下,我们就能脱开这些,而同主在一起,我们不再受名目、条件和要求的搅扰。
25
26B.这就是保罗所说,那摆在基督前面的喜乐,这是借着基督行完那摆在基督前面的赛程,路程,而成就的大事,为此我们要奔那摆在我们前头的赛程,就需要望断以及于耶稣,就是我们信心的创始者与成终者。
26
27应用:看见主挂在十字架上六小时,期间所遭遇的一切,为使我们被点活,而将自己献上,忘掉律法和天使,这些顶替基督的事物,单单专注在生活中,让主这位赐生命者,点活我们,以祂自己作我们的生命和一切。
