729  英䎗中 (429)              Lord, You are my Savior.              主阿, 祢是 我的救主.        4/10/2024        

                                            Charles Stanly trusting God with today  daily devotion                                                                                     查爾斯·史丹利著 "今天相信上帝."  每日靈修.

April 10.          Divine Representation.    Bible reading : romans 5:12-21    Key verse: 5:18                       4 月 10 日 神聖代表. 讀經:羅馬書 5:12-21 鑰節:5:18


                    Therefore, as though one man's offense judgment came to all men, resulting in                                        condemnation, even so through one man's righteous act the free gift came to all                                        men, resulting in justification of life.                                                                                                            因此,如一人的過犯審判臨到所有人,導致定罪,同樣, 透過一人的正義行為,                     導致所有人的生命稱義。 

                            

        Located in Washington, D. C., are one hundred U.S. senators and 435 members of the U.S, House of Representatives.  Each represents the voting constituency of his or her home state.  Some Representatives from small districts represent only thousands of voters, while senators from large states --- such as California and New York many millions.  Because they are our elected state officials, their votes are our votes.                                                                                                                                位於華盛頓特區,有 100 名美國參議員和 435 名美國眾議院議員。 每個人都代表其所在州的投票選區。些來自小選區的眾議員僅代表數千名選民,而來自加州和紐約等大州的參議員則代表數百萬選民。 因為他們是我們選出的州官員,他們的選票就是我們的選票。

        In a way this is how identification works.  Jesus was not only our substitute on the cross, dying for us, but He was also our representative.  John Scott, in his book The Cross, defines a representative as "one who acts on behalf of another in such a way as to involve the other in his action ... As our representative, He [Christ] did what we, by bring united to Him, have also done: We have died and risen with Him.                                                                                                                                                      在某種程度上,這就是身分識別的工作原理。 耶穌不只是我們在十字架上的替身,為我們死,祂也是我們的代表。 約翰·史考特(John Scott)在他的《十字架》一書中將代表定義為 "被選舉的人代表另一個人行事,讓另一個人參與他的行動…作為我們的代表,祂 --- 基督 --- 做了我們所應該做的事,透過與祂聯合,我們也做到了:我們與祂同死同復活。”

        In His death, burial, and resurrection, Christ represented the entire human race.  We are identified with Him, and we receive the merits of Christ's work when we place or faith in Him and His  redemptive labor.  We are freed from the guilt and penalty of sin (died with Him) and empowered to live (risen with Him) an overcoming life.                                                                                                            基督在祂的死、埋葬和復活中代表了我們人類。 當我們相信基督和祂的救贖工作時,我們就與祂聯合起來,並且接受基督工作的功勞。 我們從應付的罪責和刑罰中解脫出來(與祂同死),並有能力過一種得勝的生活(與祂一同復活)。

              

       Jesus, thank You for representing me in Your death, burial, and resurrection.  I praise You                 that I am a beneficiary of  your redemptive labor, freed from the guilt and penalty of sin and                   empowered to live an overcoming life.                                                                                                               主耶穌,感謝祢在死亡、埋葬和復活中代表我。 我讚美祢,因為我是祢救贖作為的受益者,從罪的罪責和刑罰中解脫出來, 並有能力過得勝的生活。
