【读圣经学英语】复活

约翰福音-John 6 章 38~44节

6:38	因为我从天上降下来，不是要行我自己的意思，乃是要行那差我来者的意思。 For I have come down from heaven not to do My own will but the will of Him who sent Me.
6:39	那差我来者的意思，就是凡祂所赐给我的，叫我一个也不失落，在末日却叫他复活。 And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that of all which He has given Me I should lose nothing but should raise it up in the last day.
6:40	因为我父的意思，是叫一切看见子而信入祂的人，得着永远的生命，并且在末日我要叫他复活。 For this is the will of My Father, that every one who beholds the Son and believes into Him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up in the last day.
6:41	犹太人因为耶稣说，我是从天上降下来的粮，就唧咕议论祂。 The Jews therefore murmured concerning Him because He said, I am the bread that came down out of heaven.
6:42	他们说，这不是约瑟的儿子耶稣么？祂的父母我们岂不认得么？祂如今怎么说，我是从天上降下来的？ And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does He now say, I have come down out of heaven?
6:43	耶稣回答说，你们不要彼此唧咕议论。 Jesus answered and said to them, Do not murmur among yourselves.
6:44	若不是差我来的父吸引人，就没有人能到我这里来；到我这里来的，在末日我要叫他复活。 No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up in the last day.

亮光

惟独祂是在复活里活着的一位。成为肉体是头一步骤，钉十字架是第二步骤，复活是第三步骤，藉此主就使自己便于作我们的生命。至终，祂所要给人的乃是赐生命的灵，就是祂在复活里的自己。

你所接受的是怎样的基督？你所接受的是在肉体里的基督，还是成为那灵的基督？使徒保罗说，有人从前按着肉体认过基督，如今却不再这样认祂了。（林后五16。）现在他们认识基督是那灵。（林后三17。）在主死而复活以前，主成了肉体，乃是在肉体里；在祂死而复活以后，祂从肉体变化形像成为那灵。（林前十五45。）因此，我们现今所接受的基督，并不是在肉体里的基督，乃是那是灵的基督。

当我们呼喊：『哦，主耶稣，』我们便接受了那灵。我们呼求的是主耶稣，领受的却是那灵。为什么？因为主耶稣今天就是那灵。我们呼求耶稣的名，就得到那灵，这事实有力的证明主耶稣今天乃是那灵。无论谁说，『主耶稣，』他就是在灵里。（林前十二3。）

Enlightenment:

He alone is the living One in resurrection. We have seen that incarnation is the first step and that crucifixion is the second. Resurrection is the third step by which the Lord has made Himself available as our life.

What kind of Christ have you received? Have you received Christ in the flesh or as the Spirit? The Apostle Paul said that formerly some knew Christ in the flesh, but now they know Him in the flesh no longer (2 Cor. 5:16). Now they know Christ as the Spirit (2 Cor. 3:17). Before His death and resurrection, the Lord was incarnated in the flesh; after His death and resurrection, He was transfigured from the flesh into the Spirit (1 Cor. 15:45). Therefore, the Christ we now receive is not the Christ in the flesh, but the Christ who is the Spirit.

When we call, “O Lord Jesus,” we receive the Spirit. We call on the Lord Jesus, but we receive the Spirit. Why? Because the Lord Jesus today is the Spirit. The fact that we get the Spirit when we call on the name of Jesus is a strong proof that the Lord Jesus is the Spirit today. Whoever says, “Lord Jesus,” is in the Spirit (1 Cor. 12:3).
