【读圣经学英语】你若信，就必看见神的荣耀

约翰福音-John 11 章 37~43节

11:37	其中有人说，这位开了瞎子眼睛的，岂不能叫这人也不死么？ But some of them said, Could not He who opened the eyes of the blind man also have caused that this man would not die?
11:38	耶稣又灵里悲愤，来到坟墓前；那坟墓是个洞，有一块石头挡着。 Jesus therefore, moved with indignation again in Himself, came to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone was lying against it.
11:39	耶稣说，你们把石头挪开。那死人的姐姐马大对祂说，主啊，他已经臭了，因为这是第四天了。 Jesus said, Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of him who was deceased, said to Him, Lord, by now he smells, for it is the fourth day that he is there.
11:40	耶稣说，我不是对你说过，你若信，就必看见神的荣耀么？ Jesus said to her, Did I not tell you that if you believe you will see the glory of God?
11:41	他们就把石头挪开，耶稣举目向上说，父啊，我感谢你，因为你已经听我。 Then they took the stone away. And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, Father, I thank You that You have heard Me.
11:42	我也知道你常听我，但我说这话，是为周围站着的群众，叫他们信是你差了我来。 And I knew that You always hear Me; but because of the crowd standing around, I said it, that they may believe that You have sent Me.
11:43	说了这话，就大声喊着说，拉撒路，出来！ And when He had said these things, He cried out with a loud voice, Lazarus, come out!

亮光

我们何等需要学习一个功课，我们只把事情完全留在主的手中。那样我们就绝不会错，主也绝不会迟。祂来的时候，我们必须不发一言。我们只该让祂讲，给祂机会作祂所要作的。我们只该预备好与祂合作。

在这里有一点我们必须看清，就是主能使拉撒路从死里复活。然而，因为祂不断的被人的意见阻挠，就不能作什么。祂被阻挠直到他们被征服的时候。最终，马大以相当服从的态度被征服了。主有复活的生命，复活的大能，但需要我们的合作，需要我们的服从。什么是我们的服从？那就是放弃我们的意见。你必须弃绝你的意见，让主说话。当祂告诉我们：『把石头挪开，』我们就该挪开。我们必须服从、合作，并与祂配合。我们该听从祂的话，与祂合作，并和复活的大能配合。主既能使死人复活，祂为何自己不去将石头挪开？因为祂复活的大能需要我们的合作。他们一挪开了石头，主就大声喊着说，『拉撒路，出来！』（约十一41～43。）拉撒路就从死里复活了。他听见了永活主的声音，就活过来，从死人中复活了。

Enlightenment:

How we need to learn the lesson of leave the matter completely in the hands of the Lord. Then we will never be wrong and He will never be late. When He comes, we must not say a word. We should just let Him speak and give Him the opportunity to do whatever He wants. We should simply be available to cooperate with Him.

We must see one point here. The point is that the Lord was able to raise up Lazarus from death. However, He could not do anything because He was continually frustrated by human opinions. He was frustrated by those opinions until the time came when they were subdued. Eventually, Martha was subdued with a certain amount of submission. The Lord has the resurrection life, the resurrection power, but it needs our cooperation. It needs our submission. What is our submission? It is simply the giving up of our opinion. You must forsake your opinion and allow the Lord to speak. When He tells us, “Move this stone,” we should simply move it. We must submit, cooperate, and coordinate with Him. We need to submit to His word, cooperate with Him, and coordinate with the resurrection power. Why did the Lord, who was able to raise the dead, not remove the stone by Himself? Because His resurrection power requires our cooperation. Once they had removed the stone, the Lord cried out with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come forth!” (11:41-43), and Lazarus was raised from the dead. He heard the voice of the living Lord, was quickened, and was raised from the dead.
