耶稣复活:令人畏惧及喜悦

“天使对妇女说,不要害怕,我知道你们是寻找那钉十字架的耶稣。他不在这里,照他所说的,已经复活了。” - 太 28:5-6

  对,当天使向人显现,往往带来令人震惊的事件——但耶稣复活那天的天使,更是摇动了世界。他打开耶稣坟墓时引起了地震——不是让祂出来,而是要向人显示坟墓是空的。罗马的看守士兵被吓得不能动弹。然而,天使却催促见证人们,要把耶稣从死里复活的好消息快快传出去!

  很可能这地震和天使的显现把这几位前来坟墓的妇女们吓坏了。天使平息了她们的惧怕,她们便听到他说:“我知道你们是寻找那钉十字架的耶稣...他已经复活了。”

  呵呵,复活节的新生命与受难日残酷的死亡竟碰了在一起!还记得那天的惊骇吗?

  耶稣的复活是震动天地的消息。畏惧是很合宜的反应,而接着更会经历生命被翻转的喜悦。

  天使对她们说 :“你们来看安放主的地方 ……快去告诉他的门徒,说他从死里复活了。”

  那些见证耶稣复活的人看到了,去了,也告诉了其他人。从此,人们都在诉说这个故事。两千年后的今天,我们也看到了,我们也必须宣告 “祂复活了!”如果这个消息让你同时感到畏惧和喜悦,这就对了。

祷告

哈利路亚!主基督,祢从死里复活了。尽管我们已经知道这故事很久了,但求祢恢复我们对救恩的喜乐——这救恩是千真万确的!奉祢的名祷告,阿们。

 

马太福音 28:1-10

1安息日将尽,七日的头一日,天快亮的时候,抹大拉的马利亚和那个马利亚来看坟墓。
2忽然,地大震动;因为有主的使者从天上下来,把石头滚开,坐在上面。
3他的相貌如同闪电,衣服洁白如雪。
4看守的人就因他吓得浑身乱战,甚至和死人一样。
5天使对妇女说:“不要害怕!我知道你们是寻找那钉十字架的耶稣。
6他不在这里,照他所说的,已经复活了。你们来看安放主的地方。
7快去告诉他的门徒,说他从死里复活了,并且在你们以先往加利利去,在那里你们要见他。看哪,我已经告诉你们了。”
8妇女们就急忙离开坟墓,又害怕,又大大地欢喜,跑去要报给他的门徒。
9忽然,耶稣遇见她们,说:“愿你们平安!”她们就上前抱住他的脚拜他。
10耶稣对她们说:“不要害怕!你们去告诉我的弟兄,叫他们往加利利去,在那里必见我。”  

The Resurrection: Frightening News

"The angel said to the women, 'Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said.'" — Matthew 28:5-6

英语音频 English Audio

When an angel appeared to someone, it was usually a frightening event—but the Easter angel really shook things up. He caused an earthquake when he opened Jesus' tomb—not to let him out but to show that the tomb was empty. The Roman guards were scared stiff by the quake. The angel, however, urged the witnesses to spread the good news that Jesus had risen from the dead!

It's likely that both the earthquake and the angel's appearance frightened the women who had come to the tomb. The angel had to calm their fears so that they'd hear him: "I know that you are looking for Jesus... . He has risen."

Easter's new life collides with Good Friday's deadly cruelty! Remember the horror of that day?

The resurrection of Christ is earth-shaking news. Fear of the Lord is appropriate, along with life-changing joy.

"Come and see the place where he lay," the angel said. "Then go quickly and tell his disciples: 'He has risen from the dead.'"

The witnesses saw and went and told, and witnesses have been telling ever since. Today, 2,000 years later, we also see, and we also must proclaim, "He has risen!" And if that news is both fearsome and joyful, we've got it right.

Prayer

Hallelujah! You, Lord Christ, are risen from the dead. Restore to us the joy of your salvation even though we have long known the rest of the story—because it's true! In your name, Amen.
