4徒五31 这一位,神已将祂高举在自己的右边,作元首,作救主,将悔改和赦罪赐给以色列人。
4Acts 5:31 This One God has exalted to His right hand as Leader and Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins.
5约十七2 正如你曾赐给祂权柄,管理一切属肉体的人,叫祂将永远的生命赐给一切你所赐给祂的人。
5John 17:2 Even as You have given Him authority over all flesh to give eternal life to all whom You have given Him.
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)

7今天管治这地的是谁?我们可以说,这地是由各国的君王和总统管治,但主耶稣这位至高的管治者,乃是在他们之上〔参启一5〕。……新约说基督是君王的元首。彼得说祂是元首,是管治者的首长。
7Who rules the earth today? We may say that the earth is ruled by kings and presidents, but the Lord Jesus as the highest Ruler is above them [cf. Rev. 1:5]…The New Testament speaks of Christ as the Ruler of the kings, and Peter said that He is the Leader, the chief Ruler.
8实在是如此,基督是君王的元首,祂把所有的君王都废去了。只有祂是管治者。不仅如此,按照启示录十九章十六节,祂是万王之王,万主之主。基督既是管治者,又是君王。祂是管治者,管治全地。表面看来,是君王和总统在管治这地,好像主耶稣并不在宝座上。但这位似乎不在宝座上的,却是所有登宝座者的管治者。今天全世界都在主的治理之下,祂实在是元首,是管治者的首长。
8In a very real sense, Christ as the Ruler of the kings dethrones all the kings. Only He is the Ruler. Furthermore, according to Revelation 19:16, He is the King of kings and the Lord of lords. Christ is both the Ruler and the King. As the Ruler, He rules the entire earth. It may seem that kings and presidents rule the earth and that the Lord Jesus is not on the throne. Nevertheless, this One who seems not to be on the throne is the Ruler of all the enthroned ones. Today the entire world is under the Lord’s ruling. He is truly the Leader, the chief Ruler.
9祂是元首,管治者,祂管治这地的目的,乃是为叫我们得着救恩。祂在管治,叫我们可以得救。……有许多〔移民到美国的人〕向主非常敞开。但他们若是留在〔自己的国家〕,就不可能这样敞开。主耶稣运用祂的权柄,使许多外国人来到美国。他们一到达,就成了向主敞开的。这说明主管治这地是为着拯救人。
9As the Leader, the Ruler, He is ruling the earth for the purpose of our salvation. He is ruling so that we may be saved…A great many…immigrants are very open to the Lord. But if they had remained in [their country], it is not likely that they would be this open. The Lord Jesus exercises His authority to cause so many foreigners to come to this country. Then once they arrive, they become open to Him. This is an illustration of the Lord’s ruling the earth for the sake of saving people.
10我们相信神已先拣选了我们,然后在适当的时候,这位地上君王的元首主耶稣,运用祂的权柄产生了某种环境,叫我们别无选择,只有相信祂。……我们已经被基督捉住,且被捉在祂里面。不仅如此,我们也被捉在召会生活里。就某种意义说,这是我们的光景。我们已经在主的主宰里被祂捉住了。
10We believe that God has chosen us, and then at the right time the Lord Jesus, the Ruler of the kings of the earth, exercised His authority to produce a certain environment so that we had no choice except to believe in Him… We have been “caught” by Christ and in Christ; furthermore, we have been caught in the church. In a sense, this is our situation. We have been caught by the Lord in His sovereignty.
11我们得救以前像随意跑动的老鼠,但主耶稣运用祂的主宰权柄,设下捕捉笼来捉我们。我们跑得越快,祂越容易捉住我们。在这件事上,祂是主宰的。祂是君王的元首,安排环境,困迫我们相信祂。没有这样的环境,我们就不会相信祂。实际上,相信主并不在于我们,完全在于祂。祂已经被高举作所有君王的元首,为要安排环境,使祂所拣选的人相信祂。
11Before we were saved, we were like mice running loose. But the Lord Jesus exercised His sovereign authority to set up a trap to catch us. The faster we ran, the easier it was for Him to catch us. In this matter He is sovereign; He is the Ruler of the kings, arranging the environment so that we were constrained to believe in Him. Without such an environment, we would not have believed in Him. Actually, believing in the Lord does not depend on us—it depends altogether on Him. He has been exalted to be the Leader over all the kings to arrange the environment so that His chosen people will believe in Him.
12彼得在行传五章三十一节说,神已将基督高举在自己的右边,作元首,作救主。主捉住我们之后,就成了我们的救主。不过,祂不是拯救我们不被捉住,而是把我们留在“捕捉笼”里,为要拯救我们脱离神的定罪、火湖以及许多恶事。祂作元首是为着权柄,祂作救主是为着救恩(使徒行传生命读经,一六五至一六七页)。
12In Acts 5:31 Peter said that God has exalted Christ to His right hand as Leader and Savior. After the Lord catches us, He becomes our Savior. However, He does not save us from being caught; rather, He keeps us in a “trap” in order to save us from God’s condemnation, from the lake of fire, and from many evil things. His being the Leader is for authority, and His being the Savior is for salvation. (Life-study of Acts, pp. 141-143)

今日要点
14主题:经历并享受包罗万有的基督作元首和救主
14
15引经:徒五31约十七2
15
161.经历并享受包罗万有的基督作元首和救主:
16
17A.使徒行传不仅启示复活、升天的基督,也启示祂是包罗万有的基督,徒五31说,『这一位,神已将祂高举在自己的右边,作元首,作救主,将悔改和赦罪赐给以色列人』,耶稣的成为肉体,使祂成为一个人,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,使祂为人成就完全的救赎,祂的复活,称义了祂救赎的工作,祂的升天,使祂就职为管治一切的元首,能以作救主。
17
18B.徒五31翻作「元首」的希腊字,与徒三15的「创始者」同字,原文意创世者、起源、起始者、元首、元帅,视上下文的语意而定,犹太人所杀的耶稣,神已将祂高举,作至高的「元首」以管治世界,并作救主,以拯救神所拣选的人。
18
192.基督作元首和救主的内在意义:
19
20A.彼得把元首和救主这二词放在一起,是很有意义的,「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,从外表看,这地是由各国的君王和总统管治,但主耶稣这位至高的元首,在他们之上,是万王之王,今天全世界都在主的治理之下。
20
21B.祂作为元首,管治者,祂管治这地的目的,不是要人发达或受折磨,这些都是外面的事,真正的目的乃是为叫我们得着救恩,祂在管治,好叫我们得救,神已经先拣选了我们,然后在适当的时候,这位地上君王的元首主耶稣,运用祂的权柄产生了某种环境,叫我们相信主,把救恩带到我们身上。
21
22应用:我们得救前像随意跑动的老鼠,但主这元首运用主宰权柄,设下捕捉笼子来捉拿我们,使我们得救,得救后我们也要顺服主作为元首所量给的环境,不用勉强挣扎,徒然自讨苦吃,使我们在流中自然蒙福。
