The Cross Of Calvary – 加略山的十字架

The Cross Of Calvary
加略山的十字架

1 Peter 2:24-25

24 He personally bore our sins in His body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By His wounds you have been healed.  25 For you were going astray like sheep, but now you have come back to the Shepherd and Guardian of your souls.

彼得前书 2:24-25

24他被挂在木头上，亲身担当了我们的罪，使我们既然在罪上死，就得以在义上活。因他受的鞭伤，你们便得了医治。 25你们从前好像迷路的羊，如今却归到你们灵魂的牧人监督了。

What a wonderful declaration of Christ’s sacrifice for us!

这是对基督为我们所献上的牺牲何等奇妙的宣告！

I have been a Christian for a long time, and sometimes the joy of my salvation can fade. This passage reminds me that my salvation is totally beyond words and totally beyond my comprehension.

我已经成为基督徒很长时间了，有时我的救恩的喜乐会渐渐褪去。这段经文提醒我，我的救恩是超越言语、超越我理解的。

In verse 24, it says that Christ personally bore our sins in His body. The sacrifice of Jesus, was personal.  It was horrific.  The pain was unimaginable. Every wrong thought, every wrong action, every wrong motive, was laid on Him…the spotless and faultless Lamb of God.

在第24节中提到，基督亲自担当了我们的罪，承受了那木头上的苦难。耶稣的牺牲是个人的，是极其痛苦的，痛苦是我们无法想象的。每一个错误的思想、每一个错误的行为、每一个错误的动机，都压在了他……那无瑕疵、无过错的神的羔羊身上。

To me this is the greatest antidote to a Christian sinning. Looking at the cross, how can we continue to sin? It is also the greatest motive for living full out for God Amen. Seeing what Jesus has done for us, How can we not live totally sold out for Him?  Through the sacrifice of Jesus, we have been brought back to God. Jesus has won our salvation.  We are restored to God, because of Jesus and His sacrifice at Calvary.

对我而言，这是基督徒远离犯罪的最强大药剂。仰望十字架，我们怎能继续犯罪呢？这也是我们全然为神而活的最大动力。看到耶稣为我们所做的，我们怎能不为他完全摆上呢？通过耶稣的牺牲，神把我们带回了祂的面前。耶稣赢得了我们的救恩，因着他在加略山的牺牲，我们与神重归于好。

The Cross of Calvary puts all our service for God into perspective. The cross humbles us.  It grips us.  It sets us free to serve the living God.  I love what the Amplified says in its margin, because of Calvary, we have ceased to exist.  We are no longer our own.  We are under new ownership, the ownership of the King of kings and Lord of lords.

加略山的十字架让我们有了新的视角对待我们所有为神的服事。十字架使我们谦卑，它深深抓住了我们，并释放我们去事奉永生的神。我特别喜欢扩展版圣经边注中的话语，因为加略山的缘故，我们不再为自己而活。我们不再属于自己，我们是属于万王之王和万主之主的。

I hope this blesses you.

希望这段话能祝福你。
