6耶稣的成为肉体,使祂成了一个人;祂在地上的为人生活,使祂有资格作人的救主;祂的钉十字架,使祂为人成就了完全的救赎;祂的复活,称义了祂救赎的工作;祂的高举,使祂就职为管治的元首,能以作救主〔徒五29~31〕。……〔行传五章三十节的〕“元首”,〔在三章十五节作“创始者”,〕原文意创始者、起源、起始者、元首、元帅……。犹太首领所弃绝杀害的那人耶稣,神已将祂高举,作至高的元首、君王、君王的元首,以管治世界(启一5,十九16),并作救主,拯救神所拣选的人。“元首”与祂的权柄有关,“救主”与祂的救恩有关。祂用祂的权柄主宰管治全地,使环境适合神所拣选的人接受祂的救恩(徒十七26~27,约十七2)(使徒行传生命读经,一六四至一六五页)。 6Jesus’ incarnation made Him a man, His human living on earth qualified Him to be man’s Savior, His crucifixion accomplished full redemption for man, His resurrection vindicated His redemptive work, and His exaltation inaugurated Him to be the ruling Leader that He might be the Savior [Acts 5:29-31]. The Greek word rendered “Leader” [“Author” in 3:15] is archegos, meaning “author, origin, originator, chief leader, captain.”…God exalted the man Jesus, who had been rejected and killed by the Jewish leaders, as the highest Leader, the Prince, the Ruler of the kings to rule over the world (Rev. 1:5; 19:16), and the Savior to save God’s chosen people. Leader is related to His authority, and Savior to His salvation. He rules sovereignly over the earth with His authority that the environment might be fit for God’s chosen people to receive His salvation (Acts 17:26-27; John 17:2). (Life-study of Acts, p. 141)
