【诗143:10】求你指教我遵行你的旨意，因你是我的神。你的灵本为善，求你引我到平坦之地。【Psa143:10 NIV】Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground.

这是整篇诗的巅峰。大卫求神拯救他的终极目的，不是为了重夺王位的权柄，而是为了“遵行神的旨意”。This is the climax of the whole psalm. David’s ultimate purpose in asking God to rescue him was not to regain the authority of the throne, but to “do Your will”.他求神的圣灵（良善的灵）带领他脱离偏行己路，走在神所喜悦的平坦正道上。He asks God’s Holy Spirit—the good Spirit—to lead him away from going his own way and into the level and upright path that pleases God.

这句经文在耶稣基督身上得到了终极应验。基督到世上来的时候，就说：“神啊……你曾给我预备了身体。我来了，为要照你的旨意行。”（参来10:5-7）This verse finds its ultimate fulfilment in Jesus Christ. When Christ came into the world, He said: “a body you prepared for me ... I have come to do your will, O God.” (cf. Hebrews 10:5–7 NIV)

然而，基督的道路平坦吗？在世人眼里，祂受尽磨难，一生饱经痛苦、常经忧患，很少有人尊重祂。祂被厌弃、被弃绝，最终被钉死在十字架上。Yet was Christ’s path level? In the eyes of the world, He endured great suffering. His life was marked by pain and sorrow, and few esteemed Him. He was despised and rejected, and in the end He was crucified.在人眼里，基督是活在世上最悲惨、心路最不平坦的那一位，但这却是父定意将祂压伤，指引祂所走的十字架道路。这样对待自己的独生爱子，父的灵良善吗？From a human perspective, Christ seemed to walk the most painful and uneven path of all. Yet it was the Father’s will to crush Him and cause Him to suffer, leading Him along the way of the cross. In treating His one and only Son in this way, was the Father’s Spirit truly good?

是的，父的灵本为善！因为父将全人类的不公、不义与弯曲，一切的原罪，都归在祂儿子身上，钉在十字架上，好让凡信祂的人，能借着基督的顺服得救，走上通往天家的平坦大道。Yes, the Father’s Spirit is good! For the Father laid upon His Son all the injustice, unrighteousness and crookedness of humanity, together with the sin of the fall, and nailed it to the cross, so that all who believe in Him might be saved through Christ’s obedience and walk on the level road that leads to our heavenly home.

祷告 | Prayer

亲爱的天父：Dear Heavenly Father:

清晨来到你施恩宝座面前，再次思想你宝贵爱子耶稣基督的道路。祂受了那么多的痛苦，却是你定意将祂压伤，使祂受痛苦。As I come before Your throne of grace this morning, I once again reflect on the path of Your precious Son, Jesus Christ. He suffered so much, yet it was Your will to crush Him and cause Him to suffer.你将自己的儿子设立为我们的赎罪祭，成为我们的赎罪羔羊，把一切因我们的罪造成的不公、不义、不平坦都加在你儿子身上。You appointed Your own Son to be our sin offering and our sacrificial Lamb, laying upon Him all the injustice, unrighteousness and brokenness caused by our sin.对你圣洁无罪的爱子，这是何等的不公、不义！本来这一切不公不义、不平坦的代价，都应当由我们这些罪人来偿还，可是你却定意，让我们众人的罪孽都归在你爱子的身上。What an immeasurable burden of injustice and unrighteousness was laid upon Your holy and sinless beloved Son! The price for all this injustice, unrighteousness and brokenness should have been paid by us sinners, yet You determined that the iniquity of us all should be laid upon Your beloved Son.

这一切，都是因着你的爱——“神爱世人，甚至将祂的独生子赐给他们，叫一切信祂的不至灭亡，反得永生。”All of this was because of Your love—“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

因着你儿子的牺牲，我们可以坦然无惧地来到你施恩宝座面前，像大卫那样祷告：因你儿子受的鞭伤，我们可以求医治；因你儿子受的刑罚，我们可以求平安；因你儿子担当了我们的罪孽，我们可以求你引我们到平坦之地。这就是你的良善和爱！Because of the sacrifice of Your Son, we can approach Your throne of grace with confidence and pray as David did: because Your Son was wounded, we may ask for healing; because Your Son bore our punishment, we may ask for peace; because Your Son bore our iniquities, we may ask You to lead us on level ground. This is Your goodness and love!

父啊，我的心啊，不可忘记你一切的恩惠！你本为善，你的慈爱存到永远，你的信实直到万代。Father, O my soul, forget not all Your benefits! You are good; Your love endures forever, and Your faithfulness continues through all generations.

奉耶稣基督的圣名祈求，阿们。In the holy name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen.
