世人凭自己的智慧,无法明白神的奇妙救赎计划:创造天地万物、满有权能的主,竟然取了奴仆的形象,被羞辱地钉死在十字架上?Human wisdom alone can’t comprehend the mystery of God’s redemptive plan. The Lord who created the heavens and the earth, full of power and glory, took on the nature of a servant and was shamefully crucified on a cross. 人凭着自己的理智、逻辑、哲学,无法理解这救恩,更无法认识神。Salvation can’t be understood through human reasoning, logic, or philosophy—nor can God truly be known that way.这里的“认识神”,不仅是知道有一位神,更是与神有真实相交的关系。To “know God” is not merely to acknowledge His existence, but to enter into a real and living relationship with Him.
神来寻找人,乐意用人所当作愚拙的道理拯救那些信的人。God seeks out humanity and delights in using what the world sees as foolish to save those who believe.十字架的道理,在灭亡的人看为愚拙,在信的人,却是神的大能。The message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to those who believe, it is the power of God.在不信的人看为软弱、羞辱、失败和死亡的十字架,却彰显出神完全的公义和至高的慈爱,成为拯救、荣耀、复活、得胜的记号,使凡信祂的人无不惊叹:这是神的智慧!To those who don’t believe, the cross may seem weak, shameful—a symbol of failure and death. Yet it reveals God’s perfect justice and supreme love. It becomes the sign of salvation, glory, resurrection, and victory.
主啊,感谢你降卑为人,为我死在十字架上,担当我的罪,使我得着新生命。Lord, thank You for humbling Yourself and becoming human—for dying on the cross for me, bearing my sins, and giving me new life.我无法测透这份爱是何等的浩大,惟有俯伏在你脚前,接受你的饶恕和赦免,领受这份爱,起来跟随你。I can’t begin to grasp how vast and deep Your love truly is. All I can do is fall at Your feet, receive Your forgiveness and mercy, and embrace this love as I rise to follow You. 主啊,你呼召我背起自己的十字架来跟从你,与你同死,就要与你一同复活。十字架永是你的荣耀。Lord, You’ve called me to take up my cross and follow You. If I die with You, I will also rise with You. The cross will forever be Your glory.
主啊,帮助我,停住头脑的判断想象分析,弃绝自己私欲的标准和理由,回转成小孩子,单单信你的话,Lord, help me to stop relying on my own thoughts—my judgements, imaginations, and analyses. Teach me to reject the standards and reasoning shaped by selfish desire.Bring me back to the simplicity of a childlike heart—trusting in Your Word alone, 接受真理的光照和更新,承认并离弃自己的罪,信你的拯救和慈爱,使我效法你谦卑舍己的脚踪,钉死自己,活出基督爱的生命,向身边的人见证十字架的救恩是神的智慧。and receiving the light and renewal of Your truth. I confess and turn from my sin. I believe in Your salvation and love. Shape me to follow in Your footsteps of humility and self-sacrifice. Crucify my old self, and let me live out the life of Christ’s love—bearing witness to those around me that the salvation of the cross is truly the wisdom of God.
