【读圣经学英语】到天地都过去

马太福音-Matthew 5章18节

5:18 我实在告诉你们,即使到天地都过去了,律法的一撇或一画,也绝不能过去,直到一切都得成全。
For truly I say to you, Until heaven and earth pass away, one iota or one serif shall by no means pass away from the law until all come to pass.

Enlightenment:

The fulfillment of the law will last until the end of the millennium, at which time the heavens and the earth will pass away. Before that takes place, not one iota or tittle of the old law will be annulled. However, what is covered by the prophets goes farther than the millennium, reaching into the new heaven and the new earth.

Christ fulfilled the law in three ways. He Himself kept the law. However, because we did not keep it, He died on the cross for our transgressions of the law. His substitutionary death brought in the resurrection life, which has been imparted into our being. By His resurrection life we are able to fulfill the requirements of the new, higher law. By these three steps Christ has more than fulfilled the old law. He kept it, He died for us, and His death brought into us the resurrection life to strengthen us for fulfilling the requirements of the new law. Today we are not trying to keep the lower law; rather, we are keeping the uplifted, higher law through the highest life that is in us. Now we are able to keep the highest law.

亮光

律法的成全要持续到千年国末了,就是天地都要过去的时候。在这事发生之前,旧律法的一撇或一画都不能废掉。然而,申言者所论到的比千年国更久远,一直到新天新地。

 基督用三种方式成全律法。祂自己遵行律法。然而,因着我们没有遵行,祂就为我们的违犯律法死在十字架上。祂的代死带进了复活的生命,这生命已经分赐到我们这人里面。藉着祂复活的生命,我们就能成全更高的新律法的要求。藉着这三个步骤,基督不仅仅成全了旧律法。祂遵行了律法,祂为我们死了,并且祂的死将复活的生命带进我们里面,加强我们,使我们成全新律法的要求。今天我们不是努力遵行较低的律法,乃是藉着我们里面最高的生命遵行拔高的律法。如今我们能遵行最高的律法。
