【以弗所书 2:6】 他又叫我们与基督耶稣一同复活，一同坐在天上，要将他极丰富的恩典，就是他在基督耶稣里向我们所施的恩慈，显明给后来的世代看。【Ephesians 2:6】 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, 7 in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.

父啊，感谢你！基督被钉十字架，复活并将圣灵赐下，使我们与祂一同活过来。Father, thank You! Jesus was nailed to the cross, rose from the dead, and poured out the Holy Spirit, so that we could come alive with Him. 这极大的恩典，把原本像孤儿、叫花子的我们，收纳为儿子，带进你荣耀的国度。可我们的旧人，仍带着孤儿、叫花子的性情，怎能与儿子的身份相称呢？Once we were like orphans and beggars, but now You’ve given us the Spirit of sonship and brought us into Your glorious kingdom.

感谢你赐给我们十字架和圣灵。十字架天天呼召我们向旧人、向私欲死；圣灵是真理的灵，住在我们里面，引导我们读经、祷告，进入真理，在神的话语上建立信心，在环境中被光照、责备、劝导，使我们悔改争战，不断地经历那“向罪死、向神活”，生命翻转与更新的大能。Thank You for the cross that calls us each day to die to our old self, and for the Spirit who lives in us — leading us into prayer and Scripture, building our faith, correcting us, and bringing us to repentance. Through this we learn what it means to die to sin and live to God.

 父啊，感谢你，差你爱子来到地上，让我们看见，这复活一同坐在天上的生命和生活，是在地上就可以操练，就可以品尝到的…祂虽活在地上，却过着属天的生活，世上无一事能搅扰祂；不用为吃喝，肉体的需要作世界的奴隶…世界在祂里面一无所有，撒旦一切的诱惑，根本不能进到祂心里…我们也可以操练跟主耶稣一样，真知道，祂是父所差来的，我们也是耶稣差遣的，去工作、学习、在任何地方…我们的一切需要，父早已知道，借着各种渠道、方式供应我们…我们不用再向世界乞讨。Thank You for sending Your Son to show us that heavenly life can be lived here on earth. The world had no hold on Him, and Satan’s temptations couldn’t touch His heart. Help us to walk as He walked — knowing we are sent by You into our work, our study, and every part of daily life.

 父啊，感谢你！我再次求你将智慧和启示的灵多多赏给我们，使我们真知道你在基督里所预备的极丰富恩典，好叫我们有信心，天天背起自己的十字架，靠着圣灵打那美好的仗。十字架和圣灵是你赐给我们最有力的武器，用来对付我们旧人孤儿、叫花子般属地的性情。你要我们脱胎换骨，不再像只顾地上好处的“属地鸡”，或井底之蛙般狭隘，而是蜕变成展翅上腾的“属天鹰”，有超越时空、属天永恒的眼光，看见并追求属灵的福气。在基督里，你使我们从失败、被掳，进入得胜；胜过撒但，践踏仇敌。赐生命圣灵的律，在耶稣基督里彻底释放我们，脱离罪和死的律，胜过肉体，胜过世界。你叫我们与基督一同坐在天上，一同执掌王权，让撒但成为基督身体──教会的脚凳。这不只是写在圣经上的真理，而是你要我们活出来，成为真实的生命。好叫我们能一代又一代向后人见证：耶稣的十字架和复活得胜，是真实可经历、可活出来的道路、真理、生命。Father, pour out again the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so we truly know the grace given to us in Christ. Lift us from defeat into victory, set us free from the power of sin and death, and teach us to soar as heavenly eagles, living in the reality of Jesus’ cross and resurrection. May generation after generation testify that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life.
