神的能力与神的智慧
Message Three God’s Power and God’s Wisdom
 

 
读经:林前一2、23~24、30,罗六6、19、22,弗一9、11,三11
Scripture Reading: 1 Cor. 1:2, 23-24, 30; Rom. 6:6, 19, 22; Eph. 1:9, 11; 3:11
壹 
保罗在林前一章二十四节提到基督是神的能力与神的智慧之前,在二十三节宣告说,“我们……是传扬钉十字架的基督,对犹太人为绊脚石,对外邦人为愚拙”:
Before mentioning Christ as the power of God and the wisdom of God in 1 Corinthians 1:24 Paul, in verse 23, declares, “We preach Christ crucified, to Jews a stumbling block, and to Gentiles foolishness”:
一 
这指明这位作为神的能力与神的智慧,为要完成神经纶的基督,是钉十字架的基督,一位不作什么来救自己的基督—24节。
This indicates that the Christ who is the power of God and the wisdom of God for the carrying out of God’s economy is the crucified Christ, a Christ who did not do anything to save Himself— v. 24.
二 
在人眼中,一个人若被钉十字架,他会被认为是无能的,因为一个有能力的人不会让自己被钉十字架;然而,基督是神的能力,却被钉十字架。
In man’s eyes, if a person is crucified, he is deemed powerless, because a powerful person would not allow himself to be crucified; nevertheless, the Christ who is the power of God was crucified.
三 
不仅如此,从人的观点来看,一个智慧的人会想办法躲避钉十字架;然而,基督是神的智慧,却被钉十字架—加二20。
Furthermore, from the human perspective, a wise person would find ways to avoid crucifixion, yet the Christ who is the wisdom of God was crucified—Gal. 2:20.
四 
钉十字架的基督是神的能力—林前一24:
The crucified Christ is the power of God—1 Cor. 1:24:
1 
在基督的十字架这里,我们看见神的能力。
In the cross of Christ we see God’s power.
2 
要打败撒但、世界、罪、堕落的人、肉体、天然的生命、旧造和规条,都需要神的能力。
It takes the power of God to defeat Satan, the world,sin, fallen man, the flesh, the natural life, the old creation, and the ordinances.
3 
基督的死—基督的钉十字架—已经成了神的能力—24节。
The death of Christ—His crucifixion—has become the power of God—v. 24.
五 
钉十字架的基督是神的智慧—二7:
The crucified Christ is the wisdom of God—2:7:
1 
我们要完成任何事,就需要基督作能力和智慧—一24。
In order to accomplish anything, we need Christ as both power and wisdom—1:24.
2 
智慧是为着计划和定意,能力是为着实现、完成所计划和定意的。
Wisdom is for planning and purposing, whereas power is for carrying out and accomplishing what is planned and purposed.
3 
当我们经历钉十字架的基督,祂对我们就不仅成为神的能力,也成为神的智慧—罗六6,加二20。
When we experience the crucified Christ, He becomes to us not only the power of God but also the wisdom of God—Rom. 6:6; Gal. 2:20.
4 
钉十字架的基督作为神的智慧,与神照着祂的喜悦,并祂完成祂旨意的方式,所定之深奥的计划有关—弗一9、11,三11:
The crucified Christ as God’s wisdom is related to God’s deep and profound plan according to His good pleasure and also according to God’s way to fulfill His will—Eph. 1:9, 11; 3:11:
a 
我们既有钉十字架的基督作神的智慧,就不需要寻求一条路来完成神的旨意。
Since we have the crucified Christ as God’s wisdom, there is no need for us to seek a way to carry out God’s will.
b 
只要经历钉十字架的基督,自然就有路来行神的旨意。
Simply by experiencing the crucified Christ, we spontaneously have a way to do God’s will.
c 
我们会很有智慧地来行神的旨意—西一9,四12。
We become very wise in doing the will of God—Col. 1:9; 4:12.
d 
只要我们经历钉十字架的基督,基督就要成为从神给我们的智慧,以完成祂的计划;我们会有神的智慧来行祂的旨意—一9。
As long as we experience the crucified Christ, Christ will become to us God’s wisdom to fulfill His plan; we will have the wisdom of God to do His will—1:9.
六 
当我们经历钉十字架的基督时,我们就被了结—加二20:
When we experience the crucified Christ, we are terminated— Gal. 2:20:
1 
我们的一切所是、所有和所能,都已完全了结。
All that we are, all that we have, and all that we can do—all is completely terminated.
2 
当我们呼求主耶稣的名,经历并享受祂的时候,祂的钉十字架就会了结我们。
When we call on the name of the Lord Jesus, as we are experiencing and enjoying Him, His crucifixion will terminate us.
3 
钉十字架的基督不仅是能力,也是使我们蒙拯救脱离肉体、天然生命和旧造的道路。
Christ crucified is not only the power but also the way for us to be delivered from the flesh, the natural life, and the old creation.
贰 
我们是蒙神所召的人,需要认识并经历基督的能力和智慧—林前一24:
As those who are called by God, we need to know and experience Christ’s power and wisdom—1 Cor. 1:24:
一 
林前一章二节提到“蒙召的圣徒”:
First Corinthians 1:2 mentions “the called saints”:
1 
在基督里的信徒乃是蒙召的圣徒,并不是蒙召作圣徒;这是地位上的事,是地位上的圣别,为了达到性质上的圣别。
The believers in Christ are called saints, not called to be saints; this is a positional matter, a sanctification in position with a view to sanctification indisposition.
2 
呼求主的名,包含信入祂—罗十14。
To call upon the name of the Lord implies to believe into Him—Rom. 10:14.
3 
所有在主里的信徒,都该是呼求的人—徒九14、21,二二16。
All the believers in the Lord should be callers—Acts 9:14, 21; 22:16.
4 
我们已经蒙召来呼求,就是蒙神呼召来呼求主的名。
We have been called to call, called by God to call upon the name of the Lord.
5 
对那蒙神所召的,基督总是神的能力与神的智慧。
To those called by God, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God.
二 
“那蒙召的”(林前一24),就是那些在永远里为神所拣选(弗一4),在时间里相信基督(徒十三48)的信徒。
Those who are called (1 Cor. 1:24) refers to the believers who were chosen by God in eternity (Eph. 1:4) and who believed in Christ in time (Acts 13:48).
三 
对那相信基督并呼求祂名的人,祂总是神的能力与神的智慧。
To those who believe in Christ and call upon His name, He is the power of God and the wisdom of God.
四 
钉十字架的基督是神的能力,为要拯救我们;也是神的智慧,为要完成祂的计划:
Christ crucified is the power of God for saving us and the wisdom of God for fulfilling His plan:
1 
能力是才能,智慧是道路。
Power is the ability, and wisdom is the way.
2 
基督首先是我们的能力,然后是我们的智慧,也就是说,是我们的道路。
Christ is first our power, and then He is our wisdom, that is, our way.
3 
基督是神的能力,来完成神的经纶;祂也是神的智慧,就是神的道路,来完成神的经纶。
Christ is the power of God to carry out God’s economy, and He is also the wisdom of God, the way of God, to carry out God’s economy.
五 
基督作为神的能力,用大能加强我们,在我们的所是和所作上供应、维持我们:
Christ as the power of God strengthens us with a dynamic power, supplying and sustaining us in what we are and what we do:
1 
在我们一切的遭遇和景况中,基督这神的能力,叫我们能忍受苦难、背负重担并稳定站住。
In all our circumstances and conditions, Christ as the power of God enables us to suffer, to bear burdens, and to stand firm.
2 
祂也维持我们,叫我们不动摇;因此,保罗宣告说,“我在那加我能力者的里面,凡事都能作”—腓四13。
He also sustains us to the point of being unshakable; for this reason, Paul declares, “I am able to do all things in Him who empowers me”—Phil. 4:13.
3 
基督作为神的能力,借着祂神圣的分赐,天天供应我们并维持我们。
Christ as the power of God is daily supplying and sustaining us through His divine dispensing.
六 
基督作为神的智慧,不断地从神流向我们,在我们的经历中,成为我们当下且实际的智慧—林前一24。
Christ as the wisdom of God flows unceasingly from God to us to be our present and practical wisdom in our experience—1 Cor. 1:24.
叁 
“你们得在基督耶稣里,是出于神,这基督成了从神给我们的智慧:公义、圣别和救赎”—30节:
“Of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became wisdom to us from God: both righteousness and sanctification and redemption”—v. 30:
一 
在这节保罗不是说,基督成了我们的智慧;他乃是说,基督成了“从神给我们”的智慧:
In this verse Paul does not say that Christ became our wisdom; instead, he says that Christ became wisdom “to us from God”:
1 
“从神给我们”这个说法,指明有一种传输是现今的、实际的、经历的,也是持续进行的。
The expression to us from God indicates something present, practical, experiential, and ongoing in the way of transmission.
2 
基督成了从神给我们的智慧,指明有从神传输给我们的基督作为智慧,作我们每天的经历。
For Christ to become wisdom to us from God indicates that there is the transmission of Christ as wisdom from God to us for our daily experience.
3 
我们不断需要基督作为从神给我们的智慧。
We need Christ continually as wisdom to us from God.
二 
基督成了从神给我们的智慧,作为在神救恩里三件重要的事物:
Christ became wisdom to us from God as three vital things in God’s salvation:
1 
祂是我们的公义(为着我们的已往),借此我们已经得神称义,使我们能在灵里重生,得着神的生命—罗五18。
He is our righteousness (for our past), by which we have been justified by God, that we might be reborn in our spirit to receive the divine life—Rom. 5:18.
2 
祂是我们的圣别(为着我们的现在),借此我们在魂里渐渐被圣别,也就是在我们的心思、情感和意志里,因祂神圣的生命渐渐被变化—六19、22。
He is our sanctification (for our present), by which we are being sanctified in our soul, that is, transformed in our mind, emotion, and will, with His divine life—6:19, 22.
3 
祂是我们的救赎(为着我们的将来),就是我们的身体得赎(八23),借此我们的身体要因祂神圣的生命改变形状,有祂荣耀的样式(腓三21)。
He is our redemption (for our future), that is, the redemption of our body (8:23), by which we will be transfigured in our body with His divine life to have His glorious likeness (Phil. 3:21).
4 
我们能有分于这样完整且完全的救恩,使我们的全人—灵、魂、体—在生机上与基督成为一,并使基督成为我们的一切,乃是出于神。
It is of God that we participate in such a complete and perfect salvation, which makes our entire being—spirit, soul, and body—organically one with Christ and makes Christ everything to us.
5 
这全是出于神,不是出于我们自己,使我们可以在祂里面,而不在自己里面,夸口并夸耀—弗三20~21。
This is altogether of God, not of ourselves, that we may boast and glory in Him, not in ourselves—Eph. 3:20-21.
