Lesson 5

00:00 / 1:19:39

Review of Lesson 4:

重温第四课:
 

Last week, we saw how Jesus’ death on the cross showed us the true face of the Father.

上个星期我们看到耶稣在十字架上的死如何展示出天父真实的面目。               

At the cross, we see that…

在十字架上我们看到。。。

  • God is light — Jesus’ death exposed sin, corruption, evil and truth.
    神是光​ — 耶稣的死暴露出罪孽, 堕落,邪恶和真理。

  • God is love — Jesus’ death expressed mercy, compassion, self-sacrifice and forgiveness.
    神是爱 — 耶稣的死表达出恩慈,怜悯, 牺牲自己和饶恕。

  • God is life — Jesus’ death (and resurrection) proved the power of life over death.
    神是生命 —耶稣的死(和复活)证实生命的大能胜过死亡。

But the cross accomplished something else as well.

其实十字架所成就的不止于此。

Lesson 5- By the cross, Jesus takes away our sins. (see John 1:29)

第五课  籍着十字架, 耶稣除去了我们的罪孽。(见约翰福音1:29)
 

A. But what is sin?

  • 罪孽是什么?

    • Romans 3:23 “… for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God…
      罗马书​3:23 “。。。因为世人都犯了罪, 亏缺了  神的荣耀。。。

    • What is “God’s glory” and how do we “fall short” of it?
      神的荣耀”是指什么?我们怎么会亏缺了神的荣耀?
       

      • “God’s glory” = living in the light, love and life of God, as God created us to live!
        神的荣耀” = 活在神的光,爱与生命之中,如同神创造的我们本来的样式!

        • Principally, human beings were made “in God’s image”. 
          ​原则上,人类是“按照神的形象”创造的。

          1. We were created as Tri-partite beings, experiencing God’s light, love and life in our bodies, souls, spirits (a relationship with ourselves).
            我们受造成为由三部分组成的人, 即以我们的肉体, 灵魂与精神经历到神的光, 爱与生命(这是与我们自己的关系)。  

          2. We were created to be His children, sharing His light, love and life with each other (a relationship with others).
            我们受造成为神的儿女,彼此分享祂的光, 爱与生命(这是与他人的关系)。

          3. We were created to be Co-regents and Caretakers of God’s World, bringing light, love and life to this planet (a relationship with creation).
            我们受造与神共同治理和照管神的世界, 为世界带来光, 爱与生命(这是与受造万物的关系)。

      • “Fallen short” = we fail to live as we were created to live because Satan has blinded us to who we are and why we are here!
        "亏缺” = 我们没有活出我们被造时的样式,因为撒旦蒙蔽了我们, 使我们变成此时此地的我们。

        • A battle now rages in every human being
          每个人现在都经历一场征战​

          1. 1 Peter 5:8 彼得前书5: 8

          2. Ephesians 6:12 以弗所书6: 12

          3. Romans 7:21-23 罗马书7:21-23

        • Sinful actions flow from an impeded worldview.
          罪恶的行为源自扭曲的世界观。

          1. Galatians 6:7-8 加拉太书6:7-8

          2. 1 Peter 1:14 彼得前书1:14

          3. James 1:14-16 雅各书1:14-16

          4. James 4:1-3 雅各书4:1-3
