April 7.    Scripture: "How long will you turn my honor into shame?" (Psalm 4:2)                                    4月 7日    經文:         "你們將我的尊榮變為羞辱，要到幾時呢？"（詩  四：2）

         How did the blind and blind Israelites treat their long-awaited Messiah and savior?                                   眼瞎心盲的以色列人，是怎樣對待他們長久企盼的彌賽亞救世主呢？

         (1) Roman governors, Jewish priests, and Israeli men, women, and children lined up along the way to join in the fun, gloating as they watched Jesus carrying the cross step by step with blood and tears. Jesus came to the world to destroy the enemy of mankind—Satan, who has the power of death. But what was the reward He received? It is people's ridicule and ridicule, and it is cruel torture.                       (一）羅馬長官，猶太祭司，以及以色列男女老少，存著湊熱鬧的心情沿途列隊，幸災樂禍地看著耶穌一步一血淚地背著十字架。耶穌來到世界，就是要敗壞人類的仇敵 ── 那掌死權的撒旦，但祂所得到的酬報是什麼？是人們的嘲謔譏諷，是慘絕人寰的酷刑。

         (2) What did He drink? It's not nectar, but a cup full of bitter wine. Finally, He said on the cross, "I am thirsty." (John 19:28). The Roman soldiers moistened a sponge with vinegar mixed with bile, and handed it to His lips casually, without any sign of respect. Jesus, the Son of God, also refused.                       （二）祂所喝的是什麼呢？不是瓊漿玉液，乃是滿杯苦酒。最後祂在十架上說,  "我渴了。"（約十九：28）羅馬士兵將調過膽汁的醋，用海綿沾溼，輕率地遞到祂唇邊，一點都沒有尊敬的意思，上帝的兒子耶穌也拒絕了。

         (3) There were soldiers accompanying Him, but these people took off His coat and cast lots to see who could get His relics.                                                                                                                                     （三）祂身旁有士兵隨侍在側，但這些人將祂的外衣剝下，拈鬮看誰能得到祂的裡衣 。

         (4) Where is His throne? It's the wooden cross that represents shame, and that's how the world feels about Him.                                                                                                                                                   （四）祂的寶座在那裡？就是那代表羞恥象徵的木頭十架，這就是世人對祂的感覺。

         (5) The title on His back when he was executed was "King of the Jews", but the blind and blind Israelites jokingly called Him "King of thieves" and placed Him among the two unsparing robbers. between. People go to great lengths to turn His honor into humiliation. In the eyes of angels and saints who are believers, although they are heartbroken, they are also full of gratitude and comfort, because all of this is to fulfill the prophet's prophecies.                                                                                                   （五）祂行刑時釘在祂頭上小木板的稱號是「猶太人的王」，但眼瞎心盲的以色列人，卻戲稱祂為「盜賊之王」，而把祂並列在兩個無惡不赦的強盜之間。人們無所不用其極的,  將祂的尊榮變為羞辱，這些看在天使及追隨祂的信徒眼裡，雖是心疼，但也滿懷感恩與安慰，因這一切為要應驗先知的預言。

April  4.  Scripture:  God made him who was sinless to sin for us, that we might be in him the righteousness of                                    God. (2 Corinthians 5:21).                                                                                                        4 月 4 日 經文：        上帝使那無罪的，替我們成為罪，好叫我們在祂裡面成為上帝的義。林後 5:21）。

Sorrowful Christian, why are you weeping and weeping, are you grieving because you have not been able to overcome your own corruption? Look to Jesus! You are perfect in Him, pure and unblemished in God's sight, as if you had never sinned. Moreover, God has cloned you with the cloak of righteousness, which is a perfection of goodness that cannot be attained by man's cultivation pursuit.      愁苦哀傷的基督徒，你為何憂戚哭泣？是不是因為勝不過自己的敗壞，而痛心難過？轉眼仰望耶穌吧！你在祂裡面是完全的，在上帝眼中，你純潔無瑕，猶如未曾犯過罪一樣。而且，上帝還為你披上公義的外袍，那是人的修養追求也達不到的良善完全。         You see, you're tormented by the sinfulness within you, so tenacious and lively. Yes, because you are born again, you become sensitive to sin and know how to hate it, but you find that you are often entangled in the web of sin and cannot get out. But believers, don't forget that we belong to Christ, that in Jesus "sin" is no longer powerful, we are no longer under the "dominion of sin", we are free people. Boldly declare to Satan that Jesus has paid the penalty for our sins and that we are as innocent as snow today, just as we will stand before the throne tomorrow. We don't accept any accusations from Satan because all the things that hinder our salvation have been written off by the blood of Jesus. May such faith be planted in the depths of my heart.                                你瞧，你正為著內在的罪性，如此頑強活潑，而傷透腦筋。不錯，因著重生，你開始對罪敏感，也懂得恨惡罪，但卻發現常被罪網纏繞，不得脫身。但是信徒們，別忘了，我們是屬基督的，在耶穌裡「罪」不再有權勢，我們不再受「罪」的轄制，我們是自由人。勇敢地向撒旦宣告，耶穌已徹底還清我們的罪債，我們今日的地位是清白如雪，就像我們來日坦然站在寶座前樣那樣。我們不接受撒旦任何的指控，因為一切有礙我們得救的字據，已經藉著耶穌寶血一筆勾銷。願這樣的信念深植我心深處。                                               Yes, we are justified by the cleansing of the blood of Jesus. Jesus died and rose again and now sits at the right hand of God praying for us, and in the future we too will ascend into heaven and sit beside Jesus and reign with Him. All this is because "God made him who was without sin to sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in him." (2 Corinthians 5:21).                                                                                                       是的，因著耶穌寶血的潔淨，我們得以稱義。耶穌死而復活，現在坐在上帝的右邊為我們祈禱，將來我們也要升天，坐在耶穌身邊，和祂一起做王。這一切都因著「上帝使那無罪的，替我們成為罪，好叫我們在祂裡面成為上帝的義。」（林後  五：21 ）

April 6.       Scripture: "So we also must go out to him outside the camp." (Hebrews 13:13)                    4 月 6日.        經文:      「這樣，我們也當出到營外就了祂去。」（希  十三：13）  

         The reason why Christians want to leave traditional religion and worldly sins is not because they want to be new or unique, but because they want to imitate the Lord. Jesus willingly carried the cross and accepted humiliation. As disciples, how can we compromise with sin and become friends with the world? The story of Jesus’ life was his constant struggle against sin and the overthrow of false traditions.                                                                                                                                                               基督徒所以要離開傳統宗教、世俗罪惡的原因，不是想標新立異或特立獨行，乃是因為他們要效法主。耶穌甘心背十架接受凌辱，做為門徒的我們，豈可向罪惡妥協，與世界為友？耶穌一生的事蹟，就是不斷地抗爭罪惡，推翻謬誤傳統。

         If you are a friend of the world, you are an enemy of your heavenly Father. The road of sanctification may be a lonely road, but it is a safe road. A godly life may cause you to face conflicting choices and struggles, and even sacrifice interests and pleasures, but in the end it is a path of peace and joy.                                                                                                                                                                         若你與世俗為友，你就是與天父上帝為敵，成聖的路或許是孤單的僅有的一條，但卻是一條安全的路。敬虔的生活或許會讓你面臨抉擇的矛盾掙扎，甚至犧牲利益與享樂，但至終是條平安喜樂的道路。

         There is nothing more joyful than being a soldier of Jesus. Jesus gives abundant grace and nourishment of love, so that even when fighting, a soldier can enjoy more peace and joy than others enjoy in leisure. . This holy way is a life of intimacy with the Lord, hidden in the secret place of the Most High. Through this, we hope to go outside the camp, accept humiliation, and live a victorious life. The humiliation of the cross is only temporary, and the days of loneliness are also short-lived. Behind us, there will be eternal glory waiting for us. Really, when I think about going to heaven and meeting the Lord face to face in the future, this temporary and light pain and humiliation in this world is really nothing.                                                                                                                                                                  再沒有一件事比做為耶穌基督的精兵更快樂的事，耶穌賜下豐富的恩典，與情愛的滋潤，使得精兵即使在爭戰時，所享受的平安與喜樂，比旁人在休閒時得到的還多。這聖潔的道路，是與主相親的生活，是藏在至高者的隱密處。藉此，我們希望出到營外，甘受凌辱，過得勝的生活。十架的羞辱只是暫時的，孤單寂寞的日子也是短暫的，背後將有永恆的榮耀等著我們。真的，想到將來要進到天堂與主面對面，世上這至暫至輕的苦楚凌辱，實在算不得什麼。

司布真每日靈修(日) Morning by Morning April 5  Scripture: “On him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus.”(Luke 23:26)                                                                                                                                       四月五日   經文: 「他們就抓住他，把十字架擱在他身上，叫他背著跟隨耶穌。」（路 廿三：26）

Do not forget, also, that you bear this cross in partnership. It is the opinion of some that Simo only carried one end of the cross, and not the whole of it. That is very possible; Christ may have carried the heavier part, against the transverse beam, and Simon may have borne the lighter end. Certainly it is so with you; you do but carry the light end of the cross, Christ bore the heavier end.                也不要忘記，你們是在夥伴關係中背負這個十字架的。 有些人認為西門只背十字架的一端，而不是整個十字架。 這是很有可能的； 基督可能扛著橫梁較重的部分，而西門則可能扛著較輕的部分 當然，你也是如此； 你只是背負十字架輕的一端，而基督承擔較重的一端。         And remember, though Simon had to bear the cross for a very little while, it gave him lasting honour. Even so the cross we carry is only for a little while at most, and then we shall receive the crown, the glory. Surely we should love the cross, and, instead of shrinking from it, count it very dear, when it works out for us “a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.”                                                   請記住，雖然西門不得不暫時背負十字架，但這給了他持久的榮耀。 即使如此，我們背的十字架頂多只是一會兒，然後我們就會得著冠冕，得著榮耀。 當然，我們應該熱愛十字架，當它為我們帶來「極重無比、永遠的榮耀」時，我們不應畏縮，而應視它為寶貴。         We see in Simon's carrying the cross a picture of the work of the Church throughout all generations; she is the cross-bearer after Jesus. Mark then, Christian, Jesus does not suffer so as to exclude your suffering. He bears a cross, not that you may escape it, but that you may endure it. Christ exempts you from sin, but not from sorrow. Remember that, and expect to suffer.                                                                                                                             我們看到這鄉下來的古利奈人西門, 被抓去為耶穌背十字架, 這幕景象正是世世代代教會的寫照, 教會背負主的十字架, 耶穌並沒有因為祂的受苦而免除教會或信徒該接受的熬練.  請牢記我們不能逃避十架苦難,  但耶穌會賜我們能力來承擔它.         But let us comfort ourselves with this thought, that in our case, as in Simon's, it is not our cross, but Christ's cross which we carry. When you are molested for your piety; when your religion brings the trial of cruel mockings upon you, then remember it is not your cross, it is Christ's cross; and how delightful is it to carry the cross of our Lord Jesus!                               但讓我們用這樣的想法來安慰自己，在我們的例子中，就像在西門的例子中一樣，我們背負的不是我們的十字架，而是基督的十字架。 當你因虔誠而受到騷擾時； 當你的宗教帶給你殘酷嘲笑的審判時，請記住，這不是你的十字架，而是基督的十字架； 背起我們主耶穌的十字架是多麼令人高興啊！         You carry the cross after him. You have blessed company; your path is marked with the footprints of your Lord. The mark of his blood-red shoulder is upon that heavy burden. 'Tis his cross, and he goes before you as a shepherd goes before his sheep. Take up your cross daily, and follow him.                                    你背著十字架跟在他後面。 你有幸福的陪伴； 你的道路上有你主的腳印。 那沉重的負擔上刻 他血紅的肩膀的印記。 這是祂的十字架，祂走在你前面，就像牧羊人走在他的羊前面一起你

的十字架，跟隨祂。

Morning, April 3.  Scripture: “They took Jesus, and led him away.”(John 19:16)                                                                                                                                                                  四月三日清晨   經文: 「將耶穌交給他們去釘十架，他們就把耶穌帶了去。」（約  十九：16）         He had been all night in agony, he had spent the early morning at the hall of Caiaphas, he had been hurried from Caiaphas to Pilate, from Pilate to Herod, and from Herod back again to Pilate; he had, therefore, but little strength left, and yet neither refreshment nor rest were permitted him. They were eager for his blood, and therefore led him out to die, loaded with the cross. O dolorous procession! Well may Salem's daughters weep. My soul, do thou weep also.                                                                                                                                                                                    耶穌整夜痛苦, 儆醒流淚禱告,  次日一大早,  還要被帶到該亞法庭上.   祂本來是在該亞法的手中,  後來又押到彼拉多手上,  又從彼拉多那兒送到希律處, 再回彼拉多手中,  在這樣輾轉折騰,  反覆質詢下,  精力的透支是無庸贅言,  再加上沒有睡眠,  祂是何等的疲累憔悴,  但眾人卻要祂背負沈重的十字架,  走上各各他的髑髏地，要看祂流血身亡在十架上。         What learn we here as we see our blessed Lord led forth? Do we not perceive that truth which was set forth in shadow by the scapegoat? Did not the high-priest bring the scapegoat, and put both his hands upon its head, confessing the sins of the people, that thus those sins might be laid upon the goat, and cease from the people? Then the goat was led away by a fit man into the wilderness, and it carried away the sins of the people, so that if they were sought for they could not be found.          你可曾回想過古時大祭司是如何獻祭的？祂將羔羊帶到聖殿，雙手按在羔羊的頭上，向上帝懺悔所犯的罪，並禱告將眾人的罪都歸在這隻羊羔身上，求上帝從此不再記念人所犯的罪。然後這隻羔羊就帶到曠野，象徵著人類所犯的罪，也遠遠地被扔走，上帝不再看這些。           Now we see Jesus brought before the priests and rulers, who pronounce him guilty; God himself imputes our sins to him, “the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all;” “He was made sin for us;” and, as the substitute for our guilt, bearing our sin upon his shoulders, represented by the cross; we see the great Scapegoat led away by the appointed officers of justice. Beloved, can you feel assured that he carried your sin?            現在，我們看到耶穌，在祭司和當權者面前，被控有罪，「上帝也將全人類的罪歸在祂頭上。」（賽五十三：6）「上帝使那無罪的，替我們成為罪、好叫我們在祂裡面成為上帝的義。」（林後五：21）耶穌成為我們的代罪羔羊，背負著我們的罪債，被掛在十字架上，被所謂代表社會公義的祭司法庭判處極刑，滿足上帝公義的要求──因為罪的工價就是死。

As you look at the cross upon his shoulders, does it represent your sin? There is one way by which you can tell whether he carried your sin or not. Have you laid your hand upon his head, confessed your sin, and trusted in him? Then your sin lies not on you; it has all been transferred by blessed imputation to Christ, and he bears it on his shoulder as a load heavier than the cross.                 當你望著十架，有沒有想過你的罪已在十架上被償還？若你不確定，就想像一個動作，把手放在羔羊耶穌的頭上，向祂承認你的罪，並從此信任祂，那麼你的罪就移轉到耶穌身上，祂所背負的罪，是比十架還沈重的包袱，但你的罪卻因而得著赦免，靈魂因而得蒙拯救。         Let not the picture vanish till you have rejoiced in your own deliverance, and adored the loving Redeemer upon whom your iniquities were laid.                                                                                                                                                                              不要讓這幅畫消失，直到你為自己的得救而歡欣鼓舞，並崇拜那位慈愛的救贖主，你的罪孽都歸在他身上。

四月二日    經文: 「耶穌仍不回答，連一句話也不說。」（馬太福音廿七：14）

耶穌在講道、教導，或祝福別人時，口才是一級棒，但祂在該為自己辯護時，卻一言不發。耶穌在講解律法時，說話極具份量權威，連文士、法利賽人都自歎弗如：然而祂在庭上保持沈默，不為自己辯解，也是一般人做不到的。這豈不說明祂完全的犧牲，甘願成為我們的代罪羔羊？難道祂就真的這麼認命，這麼順從，像羔羊默默地被牽到宰殺之地，內心沒有絲毫的掙扎衝突，或是任何的抱怨慍怒？         喔！信徒們，我們在上帝面前，是罪無可赦，該下地獄，沒有什麼理由藉口可讓我們脫罪。然而，耶穌背負著全人類的罪債，默然不語地站在法官面前，任其指控，而不答一詞。祂安靜的忍耐，豈不是對喧鬧世界最好的答辯，祂的沈默豈不比淘淘雄辯更為有力懾人？上帝順服的羔羊豈不為我們樹立智慧的榜樣？而且藉此祂更應驗了先知的預言：「祂像羊羔被牽到宰殺之地，又像羊在剪毛的人手下無聲！祂也是這樣不開口。」         因著祂的沈默，祂證明自己真是上帝的羔羊，為此，我們今早向祂獻上最崇高的敬意，以及無限的感恩。耶穌啊！求祢與我們同在，在安靜默想中，讓我聽到祢愛的呼喚。 Morning, April 2             Scripture: “He answered him to never a word.”(Matthew 27:14)         He had never been slow of speech when he could bless the sons of men, but he would not say a single word for himself. “Never man spake like this man,” and never man was silent like him. Was this singular silence the index of his perfect self- sacrifice? Did it show that he would not utter a word to stay the slaughter of his sacred person, which he had dedicated as an offering for us? Had he so entirely surrendered himself that he would not interfere in his own behalf, even in the minutest degree, but be bound and slain an unstruggling, uncomplaining victim? Was this silence a type of the defencelessness of sin? Nothing can be said in palliation or excuse of human guilt; and, therefore, he who bore its whole weight stood speechless before his judge. Is not patient silence the best reply to a gainsaying world? Calm endurance answers some questions infinitely more conclusively than the loftiest eloquence. The best apologists for Christianity in the early days were its martyrs. The anvil breaks a host of hammers by quietly bearing their blows. Did not the silent Lamb of God furnish us with a grand example of wisdom? Where every word was occasion for new blasphemy, it was the line of duty to afford no fuel for the flame of sin. The ambiguous and the false, the unworthy and mean, will ere long overthrow and confute themselves, and therefore the true can afford to be quiet, and finds silence to be its wisdom. Evidently our Lord, by his silence, furnished a remarkable fulfilment of prophecy. A long defence of himself would have been contrary to Isaiah's prediction. “He is led as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.” By his quiet he conclusively proved himself to be the true Lamb of God. As such we salute him this morning. Be with us, Jesus, and in the silence of our heart, let us hear the voice of thy love.

愛我們的主耶穌基督, 求祢再次赦免孩子的罪.  我求今天進入我的心, 作我的救主.  奉主耶穌基督的名禱告.  阿們.

April 1.        Change Within.  The Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and                                                                  understanding.     (Proverbs 2:6)                                                                    4  月 1 日.  從內心改變.       耶和華賜下智慧； 知識和悟性都從他口中發出。 （箴 2:6）

       The people, conflicts, and circumstances may be different --- but it’s the same challenge you’ve faced for years.  Why can’t you break free from these ever-repeating issues?                                                   人員、衝突和環境可能有所不同——但這是您多年來面臨的相同挑戰。 為什麼你無法擺脫這些不斷重複的問題呢？

       Your situation is just like the baker who set out to make a delicious cake, but used salt instead of sugar in his recipe.  He tried different mixing techniques, pans, and ovens, but every cake turned out had to change the ingredients.                                                                                                                             你的情況就像麵包師想要製作美味的蛋糕，但在他的食譜中使用了鹽而不是糖。 他嘗試了不同的混合技術、平底鍋和烤箱，但每個蛋糕都必須改變成分。

       The same is true for you.  You may seek different ways of solving your problems, but until you changed  what’s inside of you and how respond to those problems, you’ll never alter their outcome.  The good news is, the Lord wants you to know the truth, and He takes responsibility for making it come alive in you.                                                                                                                                                         對你來說也是如此。 你可能會尋求不同的方法來解決你的問題，但除非你改變你的內心以及如何應對這些問題，否則你永遠不會改變他們的結果。 好消息是，主希望你知道真理，並且祂有責任讓真理在你裡面活起來。

       So ask God for insight.  Allow Him to transform your inmost being.  He is able to teach you to respond to your circumstances in a manner that honor Him.  And be assured, when you obey Him, He will fill everything that proceeds from you with sweetness.                                                                             所以求大神賜教。 讓他改變你的內心。 祂能夠教導你以榮耀祂的方式回應你的處境。 請放心，當你服從他時，他會讓你所做的一切充滿甜蜜。

      Lord, help me stop making the same mistakes.  Teach me Your way so I may live and honor You, amen.                                                                                                                                                                    主啊，幫助我不再犯同樣的錯誤。 教導我你的道路，這樣我就可以生活並榮耀你，阿們。

        In His presence …. Be transformed from within.                                                                                          在他面前… 從內在開始轉變。
