主題:我看見了!我真的看見了! 經文:約翰福音20:24-31 講員:黃志文牧師 2016.03.27 ********************************************************** 引言 若基督沒有復活,我們所傳的便是枉然,你們所信的也是枉然; (林前 15:14) Without the Resurrection the death of Christ was only the heroic death of a noble martyr; with the Resurrection it is the atoning death of the Son of God (Rev. R. A. Torrey 1856-1928) 既然耶穌基督已經從死裡復活了,為什麼那麼多人不相信祂?
1) 復活是神蹟,不能單以邏輯解釋(約20:1-10) 但是人往往只用邏輯去解釋一切!
2) 復活是能力,粉碎絕望的毒鉤(約20:11-17) 但是人不能夠跳出自然定律的框框!因為他們不明白 a) 復活使不可能成為可能(From Impossible to Possible) 使我認識基督,曉得他復活的大能,並且曉得和他一同受苦,效法他的死(腓3:10) At the Cross, Christ finished His substitutionary work for us and the Resurrection manifests God’s power to us. b) 復活使死亡到生命(From Vulnerable to Victorious) 惟有基督在我們還作罪人的時候為我們死,神的愛就在此向我們顯明了(羅5:8) At the Cross, Christ expressed His unfailing love to us and the Resurrection manifests God’s triumph of this love to us. c) 復活使被離棄成為被接納 (From Being Abandoned to Being Accepted) 耶穌被交給人,是為我們的過犯;復活,是為叫我們稱義。 (羅4:25) At the Cross, Jesus was abandoned but the Resurrection manifests God’s acceptance to us. d) 復活使弧單的成為同行者(From Being Alone to Being with us) 我一看見,就仆倒在他腳前,像死了一樣。他用右手按著我,說:「不要懼怕!我是首先的,我是末後的, 又是那存活的;我曾死過,現在又活了,直活到永永遠遠;並且拿著死亡和陰間的鑰匙。 (啟 1:17-18) At the Cross, Jesus was being alone but Resurrection manifests God’s presence with us.
3) 相信復活的人是有福的(約20:19-31)
我看見了!我真的看見了!但是,誰是真的看見了?
耶穌對他說:「你因看見了我才信;那沒有看見就信的有福了。」 耶穌在門徒面前另外行了許多神蹟,沒有記在這書上。 但記這些事要叫你們信耶穌是基督,是神的兒子,並且叫你們信了他,就可以因他的名得生命。 (約20:29-31)
總結:
他們看見了!他們真的看見了!他們真的看見了什麼?
Jesus didn't come to make bad people good, but to make dead people alive. He didn't come to make the church a museum of really good people, he came to make the church a hospital for sinners... The world doesn't need to see us, it needs to see Jesus in us." (Joshua Laack)
你們既然尋求基督在我裡面說話的憑據,我必不寬容。因為,基督在你們身上不是軟弱的,在你們裡面是有大能的。 他因軟弱被釘在十字架上,卻因神的大能仍然活著。我們也是這樣同他軟弱,但因神向你們所顯的大能,也必與他同活。 (林後13:3-4)
