【读圣经学英语】饥渴慕义

马太福音-Matthew 5章6节

5:6 饥渴慕义的人有福了,因为他们必得饱足。
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.

Enlightenment:

Our natural life is not able to attain this righteousness. This inward subjective righteousness must be Christ. Only Christ can fulfill the requirements of the new law. When I read Matthew 5 as a young man, I was disappointed and said, “I simply can’t make it. I’ll just have to quit,” But the more I have grown, the more I have come to realize that I can make it because I have a life within me that can do it. The King with His kingdom within me can make it. However, this King needs our cooperation. We cooperate by being hungry and thirsty. We cooperate by saying, “O Lord Jesus, I hunger and thirst after You. Lord, I want to be filled with You.” If you hunger and thirst in this way, you will be satisfied.

The righteousness in verse 6 is simply Christ. It is the surpassing righteousness, the righteousness on the highest plane, that can only be attained by Christ. Because He is the One who produces this highest righteousness, we must seek after Him.

亮光

我们天然的生命无法达到这义。这内在主观的义必须是基督。只有基督能成全新律法的要求。我年轻时读到马太五章,我很失望,并且说,『我简直作不到,我只好不干了。』但我越长大,就越领悟我作得到,因为在我里面有一个作得到的生命。在我里面的王带着国度作得到。然而,这位王需要我们的合作。我们用饥渴来合作,说,『哦,主耶稣,我饥渴要你。主,我要被你充满。』你若这样饥渴,就必得饱足。

 六节的义就是基督。这是超凡的义,在最高水平上的义,只有基督能达到。因为这最高的义是祂产生的,所以我们必须寻求祂。
