【林前15:31】弟兄们，我在我主基督耶稣里指着你们所夸的口极力地说，我是天天冒死。【1Cor15:31】I face death every day—yes, just as surely as I boast about you in Christ Jesus our Lord.

保罗在讲论复活时，突然插入一句：我是天天冒死。这不仅是属灵上的舍己、冒死，更是实实在在地每一天都在面对失去生命的威胁。The believers in the Corinthian church were a group rich in spiritual gifts yet deeply divided. Some were proud, others looked down on the weak, and still others were caught up in jealousy and strife.保罗传福音的旅程中，常遭遇逼迫，被驱逐，被鞭打，遇船难，被监禁…各种的危险，保罗深知进入神的国必要经历许多艰难，他没有退后逃跑。Paul used the metaphor of Christ’s body and exhorted them in love, teaching the importance of unity. Believers in the church are like members of a body—each with different functions, yet all belonging to one body and one Lord. Jesus said, “By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” To suffer together and to rejoice together.

是什么让保罗不以性命为念，甘心冒死？乃是因着他确知耶稣从死里复活了，复活的主呼召他，差遣他，他对复活存着确切的信心和盼望，他不惧死亡！What made Paul count his life as nothing and willingly risk death? It was because he was utterly convinced that Jesus had risen from the dead. The risen Lord had called and sent him, and Paul held a firm faith and hope in the resurrection. He was unafraid of death!死是复活的必经之路，不死就不能活！与基督同死，就必与基督同复活！死是通往荣耀的门，将与主同在直到永远，是好得无比的！ Death is the necessary passage to life—without dying, there can be no resurrection. To die with Christ is to be raised with Christ. Death is the doorway to glory, the entry into eternal fellowship with the Lord, and it is far better than anything this world can offer.

耶稣进耶路撒冷之前，三次宣告自己将要受苦、受死、复活！祂为着摆放在前面的喜乐，轻看了十字架的羞辱，籍着死祂败坏了掌死权的。Before entering Jerusalem, Jesus declared three times that He would suffer, die, and rise again. For the joy set before Him, He endured the cross, despising its shame, and through His death He broke the power of the one who holds the power of death.死被得胜吞灭，死亡不再是我们的终点！耶稣照他所宣告的从死里复活了！保罗走在效法耶稣的道路上，天天冒死，只为得着宝贵的耶稣！Death has been swallowed up in victory; it is no longer the end for us! Jesus rose from the dead just as He said He would. Paul walked in the footsteps of Jesus, facing death daily—all to gain the priceless Christ.

主，求你赦免我，轻看了复活的盼望，伸手去抓看得见的世界…若没有复活，就吃吃喝喝死了算了。然而，耶稣基督已复活！Lord, forgive me for taking lightly the hope of the resurrection and for grasping at the visible things of this world. Without the resurrection, we might as well “eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.” But Jesus Christ has indeed been raised!人死后面临审判。主啊，再次更新我，因信复活的应许，使我有动力天天冒死，向己死，向罪死，向世界死，今生在地上经历生命的翻转，见证你复活的大能。After death comes judgement. Lord, renew me again. By faith in the promise of the resurrection, give me the courage to face death daily—to die to self, die to sin, die to the world—so that in this life I may experience the transforming power of Your resurrection and bear witness to Your life-giving power.
