他们所刺穿的
你注意到启示录第1章第7节中的引文了吗?这些话来自旧约的先知书,约翰用它们来提醒他的读者,耶稣的使命早在他降临之前就已经被预言了。
但以理书7:13-14为我们预言了人子(耶稣基督)“驾着天云而来”,与“亘古常在者”(父神)同在的情景。天父将“永不败坏”的国度的一切权柄都交给了人子。
撒迦利亚书12:10提到了“他们所扎的”(耶稣,另见赛 53:5;约 19:34)。先知说,神的子民将看到他们对人子所做的一切,他们将因此而哀恸。这种悔改的态度是神恩典的结果。神将耶稣所流的宝血视为对我们所有罪债的偿还,甚至包括那些尚未相信祂之人的罪。说话的神是“阿拉法和俄梅戛”,是“昔在、今在、以后永在的全能者”。
耶稣是教会的救主和主宰。时至今日,祂仍然全权掌管带领着教会。在基督里,教会将稳固站立,能抵挡仇敌和它一切的诡计。
耶稣基督的教会必站立得稳,从今时直到永远。
全能、永恒的神啊,你引领圣经的作者写下了历史、预言、诗歌和书信,以彰显你的慈爱、大能和救恩。我们为此感谢你!阿们。
启示录 1:7-8
7看哪,他驾云降临,众目要看见他,连刺他的人也要看见他,地上的万族都要因他哀哭。这话是真实的,阿们。
8主神说:“我是阿拉法,我是俄梅戛,是昔在、今在、以后永在的全能者。”
The One They Pierced
"'Look, he is coming with the clouds,' and 'every eye will see him, even those who pierced him'; and all peoples on earth 'will mourn because of him.' So shall it be! Amen." — Revelation 1:7
Did you notice the quotations in the text of Revelation 1:7? Those phrases come from Old Testament books of prophecy, and John uses them to remind his readers that Jesus' mission was foretold long before he came.
Daniel 7:13-14 gives us a prophetic look at the Son of Man (Jesus Christ) "coming with the clouds of heaven" and taking his place with the "Ancient of Days" (God the Father). The Father gives the Son all authority over a kingdom "that will never be destroyed."
And Zechariah 12:10 speaks of "the one they have pierced" (Jesus—see also Isaiah 53:5; John 19:34). The prophet says that God's people will see what they have done to the Son of Man, and they will mourn because of it. This repentant attitude is a result of God's grace. And God counts the shed blood of Jesus as the payment for all our sin, even the sins of those who have not yet believed in him. The God who speaks is "the Alpha and the Omega," the one "who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty."
Jesus is the Savior and Lord of the church. From his position and authority he leads his church still today. In Christ, the church will stand firm and stand up against its enemies and their threats.
Church of Jesus Christ, stand firm today and always.
Almighty, eternal God, you led the authors of your Word to write history, prophecy, songs, and letters to reveal your love, power, and salvation. Thank you! Amen.
