这显明了我们在基督里的真实身份。 This reveals our true identity in Christ.
神不单是赦免我们;祂更要使我们与耶稣一同复活,让我们与祂同坐在天上。God didn’t just forgive us; He raised us with Jesus and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms.
要我们凭恩典借着信得享基督的得胜与权柄。This means we share in Christ’s victory and authority by grace through faith.
叫我们不再做孤儿或乞讨的,而是有儿子的名分。We are no longer orphans or beggars, but sons and daughters with the Spirit of sonship.
即便在旧约时代,神也不要祂的子民做乞讨的。Even in the Old Testament, God showed His people that they were not beggars.
当摩西怀疑自己的呼召时,神问他:「你手里是什么?」When Moses doubted his calling, God asked him, “What is in your hand?”
那不过是一根杖, 平凡无奇。It was only a shepherd’s staff, ordinary and unimpressive.
但一旦交托给神,那杖就变成了行神迹的工具,在法老面前行神迹、叫分开红海、磐石出活水。But once surrendered to God, that staff became an instrument of miracles, confronting Pharaoh, parting the Red Sea, and bringing water from the rock.
神没有叫摩西去向祂乞讨God did not require Moses to beg Him for anything.
而是叫他明白:神放他手中已足够。 He showed Moses that what he already had was enough in His hands.
同样,神在基督里赐给我们权柄和能力,这权柄能胜过撒但的权势和仇敌的一切诡计。In the same way, God has given us authority and power in Christ, authority that overcomes the power of Satan and every scheme of the enemy.
若我们每日操练不顺服骄傲与私欲,拒绝那些自我里面想说的、想做的、想得的,转向与神连结, 并以基督的心为心,我们就能活出与祂同坐天上的实际。If we practise denying pride and the desires of self each day, what we want to say, do, or gain, and instead connect with Him, bringing our hearts in line with the attitude of Christ Jesus, as Scripture calls us to, we will live out the reality of being seated with Him in the heavenly realms.
因此,我们便连于万有的源头与元首。From that place, we remain connected to the Source, the Head over all.
祂能供应我们一切所需:身体的、属灵的、情感的、心灵的、人际关系的。He is able to supply everything we need physically, spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and relationally.
祂使平凡成为贵重。 He transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary.
我们就成了全能者的贵重器皿:与基督同复活,享有代祷权柄,被赋予儿子名分,并受托完成祂在我们生命中的呼召。 We then become powerful vessels of the Almighty, raised with Christ, privileged to intercede, equipped with sonship, and entrusted with His mission to fulfil His call in our lives.
祷告Prayer
天父,感谢祢使我与基督同复活,与祂同坐在天上。 Father, thank You that I am raised with Christ and seated with Him in the heavenly realms.
感谢你使我不再是孤儿或乞讨的,而是有儿子的名份。 Thank You that I am no longer an orphan or a beggar, but Your child with the Spirit of sonship.
求祢教导我日日放下骄傲与自我中心,活出基督的心。 Teach me to lay down pride and self, and to live with the attitude of Christ each day.
开我的眼目,看见祢早已放在我手中的资源,引导我顺服操练从祢话语所学的,使我从平凡变为贵重,成为祢国度事工的有用器皿。Open my eyes to see what You have already placed in my hand, and guide me to apply what I’ve learned from Your Word in obedience, so that I may be transformed from the ordinary into the extraordinary, and become a useful vessel for Your Kingdom mission on earth.
奉耶稣的名祷告,阿们。In Jesus’ name, Amen.( 叶牧师 Pastor Jane )
