16这杰出的复活实际上就是基督这亲爱、宝贵、超绝的人位;祂借着钉死与复活,已经从旧造出来,并进到神里面。这奇妙的一位远比天使优越。天使仍然属于旧造,也不曾经历钉死与复活。但是基督钉死、埋葬之后,又复活脱离旧造,并进入神里面。基督自己就是杰出复活的实际。现在我们必须竭力追求一种生活,这生活就是基督这奇妙的人位。我们应当能与保罗说同样的话:“在我,活着就是基督。”(腓一21)保罗也能见证说,他已经与基督同钉十字架,并且基督在他里面活着(加二20)。在保罗里面活着的那位基督,本身就是杰出的复活。 16The out-resurrection is actually the dear, precious, excellent person of Christ, the One who, through crucifixion and resurrection, has passed out of the old creation and has entered into God. This wonderful One is far more excellent than the angels, who belong to the old creation. They have not experienced crucifixion or resurrection. But after Christ was crucified and buried, He was resurrected out of the old creation and into God. Christ Himself is the reality of the out-resurrection. Now we must pursue a life which is this wonderful person of Christ. With Paul, we should be able to say, “To me, to live is Christ” (Phil. 1:21). Paul could also testify that he had been crucified with Christ and that Christ lived in him (Gal. 2:20). The Christ who lived in Paul is the One who, in His own person, is the out-resurrection.
