太四4 耶稣却回答说,经上记着,“人活着不是单靠食物,乃是靠神口里所出的一切话。” 三11 我是将你们浸在水里,叫你们悔改;但那在我以后来的,能力比我更大,我就是给祂提鞋也不配,祂要将你们浸在圣灵与火里。 那试诱者试诱新王,要祂站在神儿子的地位上。但祂用经上的话回答说,“人……”〔太四4〕,指明祂是站在人的地位上对付仇敌。鬼称耶稣为神的儿子(八29),但邪灵不承认耶稣是在肉体里来的(约壹四3),因为它们一承认耶稣是人,就是承认自己失败了。鬼虽然承认耶稣是神的儿子,魔鬼却不让人信祂是神的儿子,因为人一旦这样信,就必得救(约二十31)。 主似乎说,“撒但,不要试诱我自居神的儿子的地位。我在这里是人。……撒但,我知道你不惧怕神的儿子,但你惧怕人。神所创造要击败你,并完成祂旨意的头一个人,被你击败了。因此,神差遣我为第二个人来击败你。现在你试诱我离开人的地位,自居神儿子的地位,但我告诉你,撒但,我是以人的身分站在这里。”(马太福音生命读经,一五八至一五九页) |

在〔马太三章十一节〕约翰似乎说,“我来用水给你们施浸,把你们了结,把你们埋葬。但那在我以后来的,能力比我更大,祂要用圣灵与火给你们施浸。……你们若悔改,祂就要把你们浸入圣灵里。但你们若仍是毒蛇之种,祂就必定要把你们浸在火湖里。”根据上下文,这里的火不是行传二章三节的火,那里的火与圣灵有关;马太三章十一节的火和十、十二节的火一样,是火湖的火(启二十15)。不信的人要在火湖里遭受永远的沉沦。……主在圣灵里的浸,引进了诸天的国,把信祂的人带进诸天的国里;祂在火里的浸,要结束诸天的国,把不信的人丢在火湖里。因此,主在圣灵里的浸,基于祂的救赎,是诸天之国的开始;主在火里的浸,基于祂的审判,是诸天之国的结束。所以,马太三章十一节有三种浸:在水里的浸、在灵里的浸和在火里的浸。约翰在水里的浸,引人进入诸天的国。主耶稣在灵里的浸,在五旬节那天,开始并建立诸天的国,且要使其延续,在这世代的末了达到完成。主在火里的浸,照着白色大宝座前的审判(启二十11~15),要结束诸天的国。 〔在马太三章十二节,〕那些由麦子所表征的人,里面有生命,主要把他们浸在圣灵里,并把他们提去,收在空中的仓里。那些由糠秕所表征的人,如十三章二十四至三十节的稗子,里面没有生命。主要把他们浸在火里,把他们扔到火湖里。 君王耶稣使用两种浸。……诸天的国开始于五旬节那天。那天君王耶稣把相信的人浸在圣灵里。借着在灵里的浸,诸天的国就开始了。诸天的国要结束于白色大宝座前的审判。那时不信的人要受审判,并被丢在火湖里,那就是在火里的浸。这火浸要结束诸天的国(马太福音生命读经,一三○至一三二页)。 参读:马太福音生命读经,第九、十一篇。 |
Matt. 4:4 But He answered and said, It is written, “Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that proceeds out through the mouth of God.” 3:11 I baptize you in water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is stronger than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He Himself will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and fire. The tempter tempted the new King to take His position as the Son of God. But He answered with the word of the Scriptures, “Man…” [Matt. 4:4], indicating that He stood in the position of man to deal with the enemy. The demons addressed Jesus as the Son of God (8:29), but the evil spirits do not confess that Jesus came in the flesh (1 John 4:3), because in confessing Jesus as a man, they admit that they are defeated. Although the demons confess Jesus as the Son of God, the devil will not allow people to believe that He is the Son of God, because in so doing, they will be saved (John 20:31). The Lord seemed to be saying, “Satan, don’t tempt Me to assume My position as the Son of God. I am here as a man…Satan, I know that you are not afraid of the Son of God, but you are afraid of man. The first man, the man whom God created to defeat you and to fulfill His purpose, was defeated by you. Thus, God sent Me as the second man to defeat you. Now you are tempting Me to leave My position as a man to assume My position as the Son of God. But I tell you, Satan, I am standing here as a man.” (Life-study of Matthew, pp. 129-130) |
