ENWorks: Creation, Providence, Redemption. 1. Creation—worlds, animated existences, man, angels: Gen. 1:2. The Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. Ps. 33:6. By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of His mouth. Ps. 104:24, 30. Thou sendest forth Thy Spirit, they are created. Neh. 9:6. Thou hast made heaven, . . . the earth, and all things that are thereon. Isa. 42:5. He that created the heavens, and stretched them forth; He that spread abroad the earth and that which cometh out of it; He that giveth breath unto the people upon it. Isa. 45:12, 18. I have made the earth, and created man upon it. He formed the earth to be inhabited. Job 9:6-10. Amos 4:13. He that formeth the mountains, and createth the wind. Isa. 40:12. Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of His hand, and weighed the mountains in scales? Gen. 2:7. The Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. Job 33:4. The Spirit of God hath made me. God in the manifoldness of His working is shown especially in the Almighty's address to Job, chaps. 38-41 (chap. 38 a poetic parallel to the prose of Moses), and in Psalms 8 and 19:1-6. [The universe of astronomy, inconceivably immense as it is in time and space, is not an aggregate of differing, discordant, and unrelated parts, but a single homogeneous whole, an orderly "cosmos" of organized activity; and its oneness illustrates and declares the unity of the Creator, the one Eternal, Omnipresent, Omnipotent, All-wise God, glorious for ever and ever. Yet the human mind and soul is greater and more wonderful, higher and nobler, than even the stars of heaven. We are "made in the image of God"—an expression the fullness of whose meaning we shall better understand hereafter. We share His nature and His eternal life. Strange as it sometimes seems when we measure our weakness and littleness against the immensities of the heavens, still it is true that God "is mindful of man, and visits the Son of Man," "in whom is the breath of the Most High." C. A. Young.]

BSBPsalm 33:6 By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, and all the stars by the breath of His mouth.

中作为：创造、护理、救赎。1. 创造——诸世界、有生之物、人、天使：创世记 1:2 —— 神的灵运行在水面上。诗篇 33:6 —— 诸天借耶和华的命而造，万象借他口中的气而成。104:24, 30 —— 你发出你的灵，它们便受造。尼希米记 9:6 —— 你造了天……地和地上的万物。以赛亚书 42:5 —— 创造诸天，铺张穹苍，将地和地所出的一并铺开，赐气息给地上的众人。45:12, 18 —— 我造地，又造人在地上。他造地……是要给人居住。约伯记 9:6-10。阿摩司书 4:13 —— 那创山、造风的。以赛亚书 40:12 —— 谁曾用手心量诸水，……用天平平大山？创世记 2:7 —— 耶和华神用地上的尘土造人，将生气吹在他鼻孔里，他就成了有灵的活人。约伯记 33:4 —— 神的灵造我。神作为的丰富多样，尤其显明在全能者对约伯的讲论里（38-41 章；38 章正是摩西散文记事的诗体对应），又见诗篇 8 篇与 19:1-6。〔天文学的宇宙，在时间与空间上虽浩瀚到不可思议，却并非一堆彼此相异、不谐、无关的零件，而是单一同质的整体，一个组织化运行、井然有序的『宇宙』（cosmos）；它的一体性正例证并宣告造物主的独一——那位永恒、无所不在、无所不能、全智的神，荣耀永永远远。然而人的心思与灵魂，比天上的星辰更大、更奇妙、更高、更尊贵。我们是『照着神的形象造的』——这句话意义的丰满，我们将来必更明白。我们有分于他的性情、他永远的生命。当我们拿自己的软弱渺小去比诸天的浩渺，这话有时听来奇异；然而这仍是真的：神『顾念人，眷顾人子』——『他里面有至高者的气息』。杨氏（C. A. Young，普林斯顿天文学家）〕

EN2. Providence: Gen. 1:29, 30; 9:3. Ps. 136:25. Who giveth food to all flesh. Ps. 147:8, 9. Ps. 104:14. He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man. Ps. 145:15, 16. The eyes of all wait upon Thee; and Thou givest them their meat in due season. Thou openest Thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing. Ps. 107—a Psalm of Providence. Matt. 6:31-33. All these things shall be added unto you. Ps. 37:5. Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in Him; and He shall bring it to pass. Prov. 3:6. He shall direct thy paths. Luke 12:7. Even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. [God is the self-revealing God, who makes Himself known to men who are akin to Himself: in the world of Nature, Rom. 1:20; in the providential course of History, which is ordered so as to lead men to seek and know Him, Acts 17:26, 27; in the constitution of man, which is morally kindred to the Divine nature. This revelation is effected and appreciated through the action of man's rational powers upon the phenomena of nature, of history, and of moral consciousness. Stevens.] 3. Redemption: Isa. 49:26. I, the Lord, am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer. Isa. 44:22. I have redeemed thee. Ps. 31:5. Thou hast redeemed me, O Lord God of truth. Rev. 5:9.

ENBecause He is the only, living, eternal God, infinite in wisdom and might, in resource and reach; because He is holy and just, loving and good, merciful and gracious; and because He is Creator, Upholder and Redeemer—He holds sovereignty, sole, supreme, and universal, in heaven and earth, over all worlds and beings, through all duration. Dan. 4:3, 35. His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom. He doeth according to His will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth. Ps. 10:16. Jehovah is King for ever. Ps. 103:19.

中因为他是独一、永活、永恒的神，智慧能力无限，资源所及无边；因为他圣洁公义、慈爱良善、怜悯施恩；又因为他是创造者、托住者、救赎者——所以他执掌主权：唯一的、至高的、普世的主权，在天上地上，临到万世界万受造，贯穿一切时代。但以理书 4:3, 35 —— 他的国是永远的。在天上的万军和世上的居民中，他都凭自己的意旨行事。诗篇 10:16 —— 耶和华永永远远为王。103:19 —— 他的权柄（原文作国）统管万有。93:1-2 —— 耶和华作王。提摩太前书 1:17 —— 那不能朽坏、不能看见、永世的君王、独一的神。6:15-16 —— 那可称颂、独有权能的万王之王、万主之主，就是那独一不死、住在人不能靠近的光里。神是万有的主人与处置者：哈该书 2:8 —— 银子是我的，金子也是我的。以西结书 18:4 —— 世人都是属我的。以赛亚书 64:8 —— 我们是泥，你是窑匠。撒母耳记上 2:6 —— 耶和华使人死，也使人活。以赛亚书 45:7 —— 我造光，又造暗；我施平安，又降灾祸；造作这一切的是我耶和华。46:10 —— 我的筹算必立定，凡我所喜悦的，我必成就。耶利米书 10:23 —— 行路的人也不能定自己的脚步。神是日头、盾牌与引导者：诗篇 84:11 —— 耶和华神是日头，是盾牌。玛拉基书 4:2。诗篇 32:8 —— 我要教导你，指示你当行的路；我要定睛在你身上劝戒你。48:14。73:24。参主题词条：神人协作（004）。

ENEnd (final cause) of His universal, everlasting dominion: His own glory and blessedness, as reflected in the perfected character and blessedness of all pure spirits, angelic and redeemed. Ezek. 36:22. I do this . . . for Mine holy Name's sake. Isa. 43:7. Created for My glory. (God alone the cause and reason, motive and end, of His own love to men, and of all its fruits.) The Glory of God: "Glory is the outpouring of light. The glory of God is the outpouring of His divine attributes. It is a giving, not a receiving." And the whole Bible shows that it is the forth-putting of His love and mercy toward man—it is the giving of Himself for man, in the Person and Sacrifice of Christ—which constitutes His highest glory. Ex. 33:18, 19. Show me, I pray Thee, Thy glory! (Answered by the proclamation of His Name:) Ex. 34:6, 7. Jehovah, Jehovah, a God full of compassion and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy and truth; . . . forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin; and that will by no means clear the guilty. Hence the Angels' song at the Advent: Luke 2:14. Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among men in whom He is well pleased. This glory is to fill the earth: Num. 14:21. Isa. 6:3.

中他普世、永恒统治的至终目的（终极因）：他自己的荣耀与福乐——映照在众纯洁之灵（天使的与蒙赎的）得以完全的品格与福乐里。以西结书 36:22 —— 我行这事……是为我的圣名。以赛亚书 43:7 —— 是我为自己的荣耀创造的。（神自己，是他爱人之爱及其一切果实的唯一原因与理由、动机与目的。）神的荣耀：『荣耀是光的倾泻。神的荣耀是他神圣属性的倾泻。它是给予，不是接受。』而整本圣经显明：构成他最高荣耀的，正是他向人爱与怜悯的倾注——是他在基督的位格与祭献里为人舍出自己。出埃及记 33:18-19 —— 求你显出你的荣耀给我看！（神以宣告自己的名作答：）34:6-7 —— 耶和华，耶和华，是有怜悯有恩典的神，不轻易发怒，并有丰盛的慈爱和诚实……赦免罪孽、过犯和罪恶，万不以有罪的为无罪。故有降生时天使的颂歌：路加福音 2:14 —— 在至高之处荣耀归与神，在地上平安归与他所喜悦的人。这荣耀要充满全地：民数记 14:21；以赛亚书 6:3。故有屡屡重申的命令：诗篇 96:3 —— 在列邦中述说他的荣耀。颂赞归荣：历代志上 29:11。马太福音 6:13 —— 因为国度、权柄、荣耀，全是你的。罗马书 11:36。犹大书 25。荣耀神，是人在地上的工作：哥林多前书 6:20 —— 在你们的身子上荣耀神。马太福音 5:16 —— 便将荣耀归给你们在天上的父。哥林多前书 10:31 —— 无论做什么，都要为荣耀神而行。彼得前书 4:11 —— 叫神在凡事上……得荣耀。以赛亚书 24:15 —— 你们当在东方（英译：在火中）荣耀耶和华。诗篇 50:15 —— 并要在患难之日求告我，我必搭救你，你也要荣耀我。约翰福音 15:8 —— 你们多结果子，我父就因此得荣耀。以认罪归荣耀：约书亚记 7:19（亚干）。诗篇 51:15。

ENGod Triune—Trinity in Unity: the Godhead, existing from eternity, disclosed in Redemption. 1. Old Testament intimations of plurality in the Godhead: Gen. 1:26. Let Us make man. Ps. 45:6, 7. Isa. 6:3. Holy, holy, holy. Isa. 9:6. Zech. 2:11 (see Theophanies). [We could know nothing positively of this self-distinction in the nature of God, save as He Himself discovers it to us in the facts of His self-revelation. We do now know it through the discovery of Himself as Father, Son, and Spirit. The triune conception of God is justified when it is shown to be the conception which underlies the triune revelation God has given of Himself, and the triune activity in the work of Redemption. For this same reason—that the doctrine of the Trinity properly arises only out of the facts of the completed revelation in the New Testament—we do not look, or look in vain, for any full discovery of it in the Old Testament. Yet if the doctrine be true, we would anticipate that the older dispensation would not be without at least some foregleams or intimations of it; and this we find to be actually the case. I might refer to the remarkable series of facts connected with the appearances of the "Angel of Jehovah." A dispassionate review will dispose us to agree with Oehler that the "Mal'ach" is best described as "a self-presentation of Jehovah, entering into the sphere of the creature, which is one in essence with Jehovah, and yet again different from Him." We have, again, the very full development given to the doctrine of the Spirit: ordinarily the Spirit appears only as a power or energy proceeding from Jehovah, but in function and operation the tendency is to represent Him as an independent agent—as Isa. 40:13, "Who hath directed the Spirit of the Lord, or being His counselor, hath taught Him?"—where, in Oehler's words, "the Divine Spirit acting in Creation is a consciously working and intelligent power." J. Orr.]

BSBGenesis 1:26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness, to rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, and over all the earth itself and every creature that crawls upon it.”

中三一之神——一中之三：从永恒即存在的神格（Godhead），在救赎中被揭示。1. 旧约中神格多数性的提示：创世记 1:26 —— 我们要照着我们的形象……造人。诗篇 45:6-7。以赛亚书 6:3 —— 圣哉！圣哉！圣哉！9:6。撒迦利亚书 2:11（参神的显现）。〔关于神本性中这种自我区分，除非他自己在自我启示的事实中向我们揭开，我们本无从确知分毫。如今我们确实知道了——借着他把自己揭示为父、子、圣灵。当『三一』被证明正是那奠基于神对自己三重启示、奠基于救赎之工中三重活动的观念时，三一的神观便得着证成。也正因这个缘故——三一教义本只从新约完成了的启示事实中生发——我们并不在旧约里寻求（或寻也寻不到）它完整的揭示。然而这教义若真，我们自会预期：旧的时代不至于连一点先兆微光、一点暗示都没有——而事实恰是如此。我可以举出与『耶和华的使者』显现相关的那一系列引人注目的事实。平心通览之后，我们自会赞同厄勒（Oehler）的断语：这位『使者』（Mal'ach）最贴切的描述是『耶和华的一种自我呈现，进入受造界之内，与耶和华本质为一，却又与他有别』。再者，还有『灵』的教义得到的充分发展：通常，灵只显为从耶和华发出的能力或能量；但就功能与运作而论，经文的趋向是把他表现为一个独立的行为者——如以赛亚书 40:13：『谁曾测度耶和华的心（原文作灵），或作他的谋士指教他呢？』——用厄勒的话说，这里『在创造中运行的神圣之灵，是一位自觉工作、有智性的能力』。奥尔（J. Orr）〕

EN2. New Testament disclosures: John 3:5, 6, 16. Born of the Spirit; God sent His Son. Matt. 28:19. Baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. 2 Cor. 13:14. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Almost innumerable expressions in the Gospels, Acts, Epistles, and Revelation plainly distinguish each of the Persons of the Godhead, noting a peculiar relation subsisting between them, and a special office and mission of each in the Divine work of Redemption: John 14:15-17, 23. Eph. 2:18. Through Him we both have our access in one Spirit unto the Father. Eph. 3:14-17. 1 Pet. 1:2. The foreknowledge of the Father; the sanctification of the Spirit; the blood of Jesus Christ. Gal. 4:6. 1 Cor. 8:6. There is one, and only one, God; but there are three distinctions in the Godhead, disclosed to us chiefly in the New Testament under the names of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (We use the term "Persons," though not strictly proper, for lack of another of equal fitness.) 3. Fellowship in the Godhead: Gen. 1:26. Let Us make man in Our image. Matt. 3:16, 17. This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. John 17:24. Thou lovedst Me before the foundation of the world. John 8:16. I am not alone, but I and the Father. John 14:23. We will come unto him, and make Our abode with him. [Only through the Trinitarian distinction are we brought into communion with a Being who has within Himself a life of communion. R. H. Hutton says: "If Christ is the eternal Son of God, God is indeed and in essence a Father; the social nature, the spring of love, is of the very essence of the Eternal Being; the communication of His life, the reciprocation of His affection, dates beyond time—belongs, in other words, to the very being of God. If we are to believe that the Father was from all time, we must believe that He was as a Father—that is, that love was actual in Him as well as potential, that the communication of life and thought and fullness of joy was of the inmost nature of God, and never began to be, if God never began to be." J. Orr.]

BSB2 Corinthians 13:14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with all of you.

中2. 新约的揭示：约翰福音 3:5-6, 16 —— 从灵生的；神差他的儿子。马太福音 28:19 —— 奉（原文作归入）父、子、圣灵的名给他们施洗。哥林多后书 13:14 —— 愿主耶稣基督的恩惠、神的慈爱、圣灵的感动（原文作交通）常与你们众人同在。福音书、使徒行传、书信、启示录里几乎数不尽的表述，清楚分辨神格的各个位格，标明彼此之间存有一种特殊的关系，并各自在神圣救赎之工中特定的职分与使命：约翰福音 14:15-17, 23。以弗所书 2:18 —— 因为我们两下借着他被一个圣灵所感，得以进到父面前。3:14-17。彼得前书 1:2 —— 父神的先见；圣灵的成圣；耶稣基督的血。加拉太书 4:6。哥林多前书 8:6。神只有一位，独此一位；但神格之内有三个分别，主要在新约里以父、子、圣灵之名向我们揭示。（我们使用『位格』〔Persons〕一词，虽不严格贴切，只因找不到另一个同等合宜的词。）3. 神格内部的相交：创世记 1:26 —— 我们要照着我们的形象造人。马太福音 3:16-17 —— 这是我的爱子，我所喜悦的。约翰福音 17:24 —— 因为创立世界以前，你已经爱我了。8:16 —— 还有差我来的父与我同在。14:23 —— 我们要到他那里去，与他同住。〔唯有借着三一的分别，我们才得与一位自身之内就有相交生命的存有相交。赫顿（R. H. Hutton）说：『基督若是神永恒的儿子，神便真真实实、就其本质而言是一位父；社会性的本性、爱的泉源，本属这永恒存有的本质；他生命的交流、他情爱的往还，超乎时间之先——换句话说，属于神存有的本身。我们若信父是从亘古就有的，就必须信他从亘古就是作为父而有的——就是说，爱在他里面从来都是现实的而不只是潜在的；生命、思想与丰满喜乐的交流，本属神最深的本性，从未有过开端——如果神从未有过开端。』奥尔（J. Orr）〕

EN[The specious theories of Schleiermacher, Ritschl, Rothe, and Lipsius have all failed; the early Unitarianism of Priestley and Channing, with its modified divinity of Christ, has not endured the tests of time. There is no middle ground between the doctrine of very God and very man on the one hand, and pure humanitarianism. J. Orr. — Christ is the image of the invisible God, the One who embodies and perfectly expresses the Divine nature; whose relation as Son antedates that of every creation, who existed before the universe was created. Previous to His Incarnation He existed in a Divine form of being, which He surrendered for a servant-form (Phil. 2:6, 7), thus renouncing for the time His equal dignity with God. In return for the Redeemer's free giving of Himself to humiliation and death, God has elevated Him to the Mediatorial throne, and conferred upon Him a name above all others, that all creatures should acknowledge His sovereign authority (Phil. 2:9-11). G. B. Stevens. — "All things were" not only "created by Him," but also "for Him" (Col. 1:16). He is therefore not simply the agent in creation, but also the end of it. Further, "all things consist in Him," and He "upholds all things by the word of His power." Thus Christ is the center of the creation in a threefold sense: first, the world owes its origin to Him; secondly, it is designed to be His; and thirdly, He serves as the unifying and preserving principle in it. The Interior. — All things must find their meeting-point, their reconciliation, at length in Him from whom they took their rise. Sometimes it is represented as a birth-throe and deliverance of all creation through Christ (Rom. 8:19 sq.); sometimes it is the absolute and final subjection of universal nature to Him (1 Cor. 15:28); sometimes it is the reconciliation of all things through Him (Col. 1:20); sometimes it is the recapitulation, the gathering up in one head, of the universe in Him (Eph. 1:10). But all alike enunciate the same truth: the Eternal Word is the goal of the universe, as He was the starting-point. It must end in unity, as it proceeded from unity; and the center of the unity is Christ. Bp. Lightfoot.]

BSBColossians 1:16, 17 16 For in Him all things were created, things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.

中〔施莱尔马赫、立敕尔、罗特、利普修斯那些貌似有理的理论已尽数失败；普里斯特利与钱宁的早期一位论（Unitarianism）带着它那打了折扣的基督神性，也未经得起时间的检验。在『真神而又真人』的教义与纯粹的人本主义之间，并无中间地带可站。奥尔（J. Orr）——基督是那不能看见之神的像，是体现并完全表达神性本质的那一位；他作为子的关系先于一切受造，他在宇宙受造以前已经存在。道成肉身以前，他存在于神性的形体之中；他撇下这形体，取了奴仆的形体（腓立比书 2:6-7），从而暂时放弃了与神同等的尊荣。为回报救赎主甘愿舍身受辱受死，神已把他升上中保的宝座，赐给他超乎万名之上的名，叫一切受造之物都承认他至高的权柄（腓立比书 2:9-11）。史蒂文斯（G. B. Stevens）——万有不但是『靠他造的』，也是『为他造的』（歌罗西书 1:16）。所以他不单是创造的施行者，也是创造的目的。再者，『万有也靠他而立』，他又『用他权能的命令托住万有』。这样，基督在三重意义上是受造界的中心：第一，世界的起源归于他；第二，世界被designed归他所有；第三，他是世界里联合与保守的原理。《The Interior》（内地报）——万有终必在他里面找到会合点、找到复和——就在那万有所自出的一位里面。这一归结有时被表现为全受造界借基督经历产难而得释放（罗马书 8:19 以下）；有时是普宇宙对他绝对而最终的顺服（哥林多前书 15:28）；有时是万有借着他复和（歌罗西书 1:20）；有时是宇宙在他里面的总归一元、同归于一（以弗所书 1:10）。但这些说法宣明的是同一真理：永恒之道是宇宙的终点，正如他是宇宙的起点。宇宙既出于一，也必终于一；而这『一』的中心就是基督。主教莱特富特（Bp. Lightfoot）〕

ENChrist's official subordination to the Father, in executing the offices of Prophet, Priest and King, as Mediator and Redeemer—intimated by such expressions as: John 5:30; 6:38. I came not to do Mine own will, but the will of Him that sent Me. Heb. 10:9. Lo, I come to do Thy will. This fact furnishes a sufficient explanation of the words, "My Father is greater than I" (John 14:28), and 1 Cor. 11:3; Heb. 5:8. But a single statement remains as an unsolved difficulty: in Matt. 24:36 and Mark 13:32 we read, "Of that day and hour knoweth no one, not even the angels of heaven, neither the Son, but the Father only." Christ's meaning may perhaps be qualified by His last words at His ascension, "It is not for you to know the times or seasons, which the Father hath set within His own authority" (Acts 1:7). Still, this remains the one sole intimation in the New Testament of any limitation in the omniscient knowledge of the Son, even in His Mediatorial capacity. Setting over against this unexplained statement such declarations as "In Him are all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge hidden" (Col. 2:3), and the abundant proofs of His Divine discernment of the hearts of men—and especially the fact that in direct connection with this inexplicable statement appears His absolute foreknowledge of the very events to which the statement refers—the essence of the difficulty is certainly minimized in its effect upon an intelligent and justly thinking mind. And there we may be content to leave it. [Paul teaches a certain subordination to the Father. He is the executive of the Father's will, the Mediator of the salvation He has resolved upon. He resigns His authority to the Father (1 Cor. 15:28). But this subordination is expressly limited to His work in Redemption. It is the Mediatorial throne which He resigns; He vacates it because His work is "finished," that the perfect result may appear to "the praise of the Father," who has initiated and directed it. G. B. Stevens.]

BSBJohn 6:38 For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but to do the will of Him who sent Me.

中基督在履行先知、祭司、君王三职（作中保与救赎主）时对父职分上的顺从——由这类话语可见：约翰福音 5:30；6:38 —— 因为我从天上降下来，不是要按自己的意思行，乃是要按那差我来者的意思行。希伯来书 10:9 —— 神啊，我来了，为要照你的旨意行。这一事实足以解释『父是比我大的』（约翰福音 14:28）以及哥林多前书 11:3、希伯来书 5:8 等语。但有一句话仍是未解之难：马太福音 24:36 与马可福音 13:32 记着——『但那日子、那时辰，没有人知道，连天上的使者也不知道，子也不知道，惟独父知道。』基督的意思或可由他升天时最后的话加以限定：『父凭着自己的权柄所定的时候、日期，不是你们可以知道的』（使徒行传 1:7）。尽管如此，这仍是新约中唯一一处提示子的全知——即便在其中保身份之内——受了某种限制的话。拿『所积蓄的一切智慧知识都在他里面藏着』（歌罗西书 2:3）这样的宣告，拿他洞悉人心的神圣明察的诸般凭据——尤其是：正是在这句费解之言的紧邻上下文里，显出他对这话所指的那些事件本身的绝对预知——与这句未获解释的话两相对观，其难处的分量，在明达公允的心智面前必大为减轻。到此，我们尽可安心把它搁下。〔保罗确实教导了某种对父的顺从：基督是父旨意的执行者，是父所决意之救恩的中保。他要把权柄交还给父（哥林多前书 15:28）。但这顺从明明只限于他救赎里的工作。他所交出的乃是中保的宝座；他让出这宝座，因为他的工作已经『成了』，好叫完满的结果显出来，『使荣耀归与父』——这工原是父所发起、所主导的。史蒂文斯（G. B. Stevens）〕

ENAchieved through His Incarnation, in earth and heaven—By His advent as God-Man: named Immanuel, God with us (Isa. 7:14); named Jesus, Saviour: Luke 2:11. There is born to you this day a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. Matt. 1:21. For it is He that shall save His people from their sins. By His sinless life and perfect example: 1 Pet. 2:22. Who did no sin, neither was guile found in His mouth. 2 Cor. 5:21. Who knew no sin. Heb. 7:26. John 8:46. 1 Pet. 2:21. Leaving you an example, that ye should follow His steps. John 13:15. By His disclosures of God, of the Law, of sin and salvation: John 3:7-16. Matt. 5, 6. By His deeds of help and blessing, summed up: Acts 10:38. He went about doing good. Pre-eminently by His suffering, humiliation and death: Phil. 2:7, 8. Emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant; and He humbled Himself, becoming obedient even unto death, yea, the death of the cross. Isa. 53:4, 5, 6, 12. He poured out His soul unto death; and He bare the sin of many. Dan. 9:24-26. To make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness. And the Anointed One shall be cut off. 2 Cor. 5:18, 19. God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself. Christ foretells His death (Matt. 20:18, 19; 26:2), and fully interprets its meaning and purpose from the Old Testament Scriptures (Luke 24:26, 27, 44-47; see also John 3:14, 15; 8:28; 12:32). 1 Cor. 15:3. Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures. 1 Pet. 2:24. Who His own self bare our sins in His body upon the tree. Gal. 1:4. Who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us. Heb. 9:26. Manifested to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself. 1 Pet. 3:18. That He might bring us to God. Rom. 5:10. Reconciled to God through the death of His Son. Heb. 2:9. That by the grace of God He should taste death for every man. 1 John 2:2. And not for ours only, but also for the whole world. 1 Tim. 2:6. Who gave Himself a ransom for all. Gal. 2:20. Who loved me, and gave Himself for me. Eph. 5:2. 1 John 1:7. The blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin. ("This is the vitalizing element of the Levitical ritual, the burden of prophecy, the teaching of Christ, the inspired testimony of His Apostles, and the song of the redeemed in heaven.") Rev. 1:5. Unto Him that loveth us, and washed us from our sins in His own blood. Heb. 10:10, 14. With the forgiveness and cleansing of sin, by His death we receive, through His Spirit, Divine renewal, adoption into childship, and heirship of all things (Rom. 8:1-4, 14-17, 32-39), and the Divine indwelling, ensuring present guidance, help, and abiding righteousness and peace (John 14:18, 21, 23; Eph. 3:17; Col. 1:27).

BSBPhilippians 2:7, 8 7 but emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in human likeness. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to death—even death on a cross.

ENBy His resurrection, abolishing death and ensuring life immortal: Rev. 1:18. I am the Living One; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive for evermore. Rom. 14:9. For to this end Christ died, and lived again, that He might be Lord of both the dead and the living. 1 Cor. 15:4-7. Witnesses of His resurrection—the chief theme of the Apostles in the Acts and Epistles (Acts 2:31; 4:10, 33; 5:30; 10:40). Fruits of His victory over death: Heb. 2:14. That through death He might destroy him that had the power of death. 2 Tim. 1:10. Who hath abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light. Isa. 25:8. 1 Cor. 15:54, 57.

The Lord Himself shall descend from heaven. Acts 1:11. Rev. 1:7. John 5:22. Rom. 14:10. 2 Tim. 4:1. Who shall judge the quick and the dead, at His appearing and His kingdom. Matt. 25:31-46. Heb. 9:28. Shall appear a second time, apart from sin, unto salvation. Titus 2:13. Looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ. [A careful study of the passages will compel us to agree with Beyschlag on one main point: that Jesus does not always speak of His coming in the same sense; that it is to Him rather a process, in which many elements flow together in a single image, than a single definite event. He came again to His disciples after the resurrection; He came in the mission of the Comforter; He came in the power and spread of His Kingdom; He has come in every great day of the Lord in the history of His Church; He will come yet more conspicuously in the events of the future. Yet I cannot agree with Beyschlag when, on these grounds, he would exclude a final, personal advent of Jesus—a visible return in power and glory to the world. Christ's words on this subject, repeated by His apostles, are altogether too explicit, and of too solemn an import, to be explained away into a mere metaphor. I would agree, therefore, with the Church catholic in its confession, "From thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead." Prof. James Orr, "Christian View of God and the World."]

中借他的复活——废掉死亡，确保不朽的生命：启示录 1:18 —— 又是那存活的；我曾死过，现在又活了，直活到永永远远。罗马书 14:9 —— 因此基督死了，又活了，为要作死人并活人的主。哥林多前书 15:4-7 —— 复活的见证人——这是使徒行传与书信中众使徒的首要主题（使徒行传 2:31；4:10, 33；5:30；10:40）。他胜过死亡的果实：希伯来书 2:14 —— 特要借着死，败坏那掌死权的。提摩太后书 1:10 —— 他已经把死废去，借着福音，将不能坏的生命彰显出来。以赛亚书 25:8。哥林多前书 15:54, 57 —— 死被得胜吞灭……感谢神，使我们借着我们的主耶稣基督得胜。约翰福音 11:25 —— 复活在我，生命也在我。14:19 —— 因为我活着，你们也要活着。帖撒罗尼迦前书 4:14。罗马书 4:25 —— 复活，是为叫我们称义。借他的升天：路加福音 24:50-51。使徒行传 1:9。诗篇 24:7-10。升天的恩赐：诗篇 68:18；以弗所书 4:8。借他长存的代求：希伯来书 7:25 —— 是长远活着，替他们祈求。借他的第二次降临——施行审判并使神圣救赎计划得着永恒的成全：帖撒罗尼迦前书 4:16 —— 主必亲自从天降临。使徒行传 1:11。启示录 1:7。约翰福音 5:22。罗马书 14:10。提摩太后书 4:1 —— 按着他的显现和他的国度，审判活人死人。马太福音 25:31-46。希伯来书 9:28 —— 将来要向那等候他的人第二次显现，并与罪无关，乃是为拯救他们。提多书 2:13 —— 等候所盼望的福，并等候至大的神和我们救主耶稣基督的荣耀显现。〔细究这些经文，必使我们在一个要点上赞同拜施拉格（Beyschlag）：耶稣论自己的降临，并非每次同义；对他而言，『来』与其说是一个单一确定的事件，不如说是一个进程——诸多元素汇入同一幅图景。他复活后再来到门徒中间；他在保惠师的差遣里来；他在他国度的权能扩展里来；在教会历史每一个『主的大日』里，他都来过；在将来的诸事件中，他还要更显明地来。然而当拜施拉格据此要排除耶稣最终的、亲身的降临——向世界有形有体、带着能力荣耀的再来——我不能苟同。基督论此的话语，又经使徒们重申，实在太明确、太庄严，绝不容被解释成一个单纯的隐喻而打发掉。所以我宁愿与大公教会同声认信：『他从那里降临，审判活人死人。』奥尔教授（James Orr），《神与世界的基督教观》〕

ENThe reader's attention is specially called to the following full and satisfactory summary of Christ's mediatorial relations to God and humanity, and His high-priestly and redeeming work of atonement and intercession. [A complete view of Christ's work will include the fact that in the Incarnation a new Divine life has entered humanity; will include the fact that Christ is our perfect Representative before God, as the new Head of the race, and the wearer of our humanity in its pure and perfect form; will include the fact of an organic relation of Christ with all the members of the race, in virtue of which He entered, not merely outwardly, but in the most real and vital way, into the fellowship of our sin and suffering, and truly bore us on His heart before God as a merciful and faithful High Priest; will include the idea of a vocation which Christ had as Founder of the Kingdom of God on earth—though this vocation will embrace not only the revelation of the Father's character and the doing of the Father's will among men, but also the making reconciliation for the sins of the people; will include the fact of a holy and perfect and continuous surrender of Christ's will to God, as an offering, through the Eternal Spirit, in humanity, of that which man ought to render but is unable in his own strength to give—the presentation to God in humanity, therefore, of a perfect righteousness, on the ground of which humanity stands in a new relation to God, and is accepted in the Beloved; will include, finally, a dealing with God in reference to the guilt of sin, which is not simply a sympathetic realization of the burden of that guilt as it rests on us, nor yet simply a confession of sins in our name, nor yet simply an acknowledgment in humanity of God's righteousness in visiting our sins with wrath and judgment, but is a positive entrance into the penal evils of our condition—and, above all, into death, as the last and most terrible of these evils—in order that in these also He might become one with us, and under that experience might render to God what was due to His judicial righteousness: an Atonement which, as Dr. McLeod Campbell says, has in it an "Amen" from the depths of our humanity toward the righteous judgment of God on our sins. So far from this latter—the judicial—aspect of Christ's work being to be thrown into the background, it is the one which the Apostolic theology specially fastens upon as the ground of the remission of sins—the ground, as Bunyan phrases it, on which God "justly justifies the sinner." Christ, as the Son of God, Incarnate in our nature, is the only one qualified to undertake this work; and as Son of God and Son of Man He did it. He alone could enter, on the one hand, into the meaning of the sin of the world; on the other, into a realization of all that was due to that sin from God—not minimizing either the sin or the righteousness, but doing justice to both; upholding righteousness, yet opening to the world the gates of a forgiving mercy. In Him we see that done which we could not do; we see that brought which we could not bring; we see that reparation made to a broken law which we could not make; we see, at the same time, a righteousness consummated we long to make our own, a victory over the world we long to share, a will of love we long to have reproduced in ourselves, a grandeur of self-sacrifice we long to imitate. And, appropriating that Sacrifice, not only in its atoning merit but in its inward spirit, we know ourselves redeemed and reconciled. Prof. James Orr, D.D., "Christian View of God and the World."]

BSBHebrews 2:17 For this reason He had to be made like His brothers in every way, so that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, in order to make atonement for the sins of the people.

中谨特别提请读者注意下面这段完备而中肯的总述——论基督对神、对人类的中保关系，及其赎罪与代求的大祭司救赎之工。〔对基督之工的完整认识，将包括：在道成肉身里，一个新的神圣生命已进入人类；将包括：基督是我们在神面前完全的代表——作人类新的元首，以纯全完美的形态穿戴我们的人性；将包括：基督与人类全体成员之间的有机关系——凭此关系，他不止在外表上，而是以最真实、最切身的方式，进入了我们罪与苦难的团契，又作慈悲忠信的大祭司，真真实实把我们担在心头、带到神前；将包括：基督在地上作神国创立者的天职观念——只是这天职不但涵盖在人间启示父的品格、遵行父的旨意，也涵盖为百姓的罪成就挽回；将包括：基督的意志向神圣洁、完全、持续不断的降服——这降服乃是借着永恒的灵、在人性之内献上的祭，献上人本当献却无力凭己献上的——因而是在人性之内向神呈上一个完全的义；基于这义，人类得以站在与神的新关系里，在爱子里蒙悦纳；最后还将包括：为罪咎与神的一场了断——它不单是对压在我们身上之罪担的同情体认，也不单是奉我们的名认罪，更不单是在人性中承认神以忿怒审判临到我们的罪为公义，而是切实地进入我们境况中的刑罚之恶——最要紧的，进入死亡，这诸恶中最后也最可怖的一样——为要在这些事上他也与我们成为一体，并在这经历之下，把神审判之义所当得的偿还给神：这就是那『赎罪』（Atonement）——如麦克劳德·坎贝尔博士所言，其中自有一声从我们人性深处发出的、向着神对我们罪的公义审判说出的『阿们』。基督之工的这一面——司法的一面——非但不该被推到幕后，反倒正是使徒神学特别抓牢的那一面，以之为罪得赦免的根据——用本仁约翰的话说，是神得以『公义地称罪人为义』的根据。基督，作为神的儿子、道成肉身在我们的本性里，是唯一有资格承担这工的；而他既作神的儿子又作人子，把它做成了。唯有他能一面进入世人之罪的全部含义，一面体认神向这罪所当追讨的一切——既不把罪看轻，也不把义看小，而是对两者都秉公对待；既维护了公义，又向世界敞开了赦宥怜悯的大门。在他里面，我们看见我们做不到的事做成了；我们看见我们献不上的献上了；我们看见我们无力赔补的、向被破坏之律法的赔补赔上了；同时我们看见一个成全了的义，我们渴望据为己有；一场胜过世界的凯旋，我们渴望有份；一个爱的意志，我们渴望在自己里面重现；一种舍己的壮阔，我们渴望效法。而当我们取用那祭——不但取用其赎罪的功德，也取用其内里的精神——我们便确知自己已蒙救赎、已得复和。奥尔教授（James Orr, D.D.），《神与世界的基督教观》〕

They rebelled, and grieved His Holy Spirit. Ps. 51:11, 12. Take not Thy Holy Spirit from me; uphold me with Thy free Spirit. Num. 11:29. Would God that all the Lord's people were prophets, that the Lord would put His Spirit upon them! Zech. 4:6. Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, saith the Lord of Hosts. Neh. 9:20. Thou gavest also Thy good Spirit to instruct them. Promise of the full manifestation of the Holy Spirit: Joel 2:28. I will pour out My Spirit upon all flesh. Isa. 44:3; 32:15. Zech. 12:10. Ezek. 36:27. The fulfillment of the promise began at Pentecost: Acts 2:16-21. The Holy Ghost, as the Spirit of Truth—Inspirer, Instructor and Guide, Helper and Indweller. Inspires all sacred writings and writers: 2 Pet. 1:21. Mark 12:36. David said by the Holy Ghost. Acts 1:16; 28:25. Inspires thought, word and deed in all consecrated workers: 1 Cor. 12:7.

[The dispensation of the Holy Spirit will last, and His work extend over the ages, till all which may be done by Him for human salvation shall have been exhausted. The Gospel will be preached, and the missionary sent to all nations, and converts be made in all lands. We only need to know that the Holy Ghost will preside over and guide the Church, and show the things of Christ to her members, and convince the world of Christ's true Messiahship, "to the glory of the Father," till His second coming.
