对今日诗句的想法
若你知道公元二十年主耶稣在拿撒勒的地址,你定会前去并说,“神住在这里!”主耶稣是完全的神,又是完全的人——完全的神虚己舍弃一切神的权力(腓立比书2:5-7),这几乎无法理解,却是令人敬畏的恩典。神选择成为我们的样式,因为我们无法成为他。神来到我们中间,因为我们无法升到神那里。通过主耶稣,神完完全全地来到我们中间,使我们能够全然在他里面。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
If we had known Jesus' address when he was a boy in Nazareth, we would have found him apprenticing as a carpenter, and could have said, "That boy with wood shavings in his hair is God come to live among us!"
I believe that the doctrine of Jesus being fully God and fully man is impossible to grasp completely, yet it is taught in the New Testament and is something we must believe. Beautiful explanations, like our verse today, exist. Another is the beautiful Christ-Hymn Paul quotes in Philippians 2:5-7. This song reminds us that Jesus was equal with God, but emptied himself of divine prerogatives and became human and suffered death on the cross. God taking on human flesh and being Immanuel, God with us (Matthew 1:23), is an awesome reality of grace. God chose to be like us because we could not make ourselves like him. God came to us because we could not go to him. In Jesus, God took on human flesh so we could be given fullness in Christ. By faith and in baptism, we were joined to Jesus in his death, burial, and resurrection (Colossians 2:12, 15). That faith experience means God's victory in Jesus over sin, death, demons, and hell, and also delivered us from these things as well (Colossians 1:13-14). What's more, our future glory with Christ is fully assured (Colossians 3:1-3). Jesus Christ is head over every power and authority for us!
我的祷告
全能的神啊,我认识到你是如此伟大,超乎我的理解。然而如此奇妙、伟大、威严的神啊,你的恩典更加美好。感谢你赐下主耶稣,使我能够认识你;感谢你赐下主耶稣,使我能够得救赎;感谢你赐下主耶稣,使我能够回天家与你永远同在。主耶稣啊,感谢你来拯救我又回到天父那里,使我能够通过你向天父诉说。主耶稣啊,奉你的名、因着你的恩典,我坦然地来到天父的座前祈求,阿们!
My Prayer...
Almighty God, I acknowledge that you are too great for me to comprehend fully. You are far greater than my mind can grasp. Your grace amazes me. Thank you for sending Jesus so I can be forgiven, delivered from the evil one, and go home to you and live forever. In your name, Christ Jesus, I confidently pray. Amen.
