荣耀君王之歌

Born To Be A King

“神在肉身显现，被圣灵称义，被天使看见，被传于外邦，被世人信服，被接在荣耀里。” - 提前 3:16

"He appeared in the flesh, was vindicated by the Spirit, was seen by angels, was preached among the nations, was believed on in the world, was taken up in glory." — 1 Timothy 3:16

灵修

今天经文中出现的这首短歌，很可能就是初代教会所唱圣诗的一部分。它提醒我们一个重要的事实：耶稣来到世上是本要做王的。耶稣在被宣判死刑的那一天对彼拉多说：“你说我是王。我为此而生，也为此来到世间，特为给真理作见证。凡属真理的人，就听我的话”（约翰福音 18:37）。

The short song found in today's verses was probably part of a hymn in the first-century church. It reminds us of an important fact: Jesus was born to be a king. The day he was sentenced to die Jesus told Pilate, "You say that I am a king. In fact, the reason I was born and came into the world is to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me" (John 18:37).

我们往往太快便停止欢唱耶稣的降生了。我们仅仅在圣诞节那一天庆祝祂的出生，之后就像对待装饰品一样把耶稣搁置一旁。为马槽里的婴孩庆生安全又容易，可一整年都将基督的信息带进世界就很具挑战了。

Too often we stop singing about Jesus' birth too quickly. We celebrate Christ's birth on Christmas day, but then we set Jesus aside like the Christmas decorations. It's safe and easy to celebrate a baby in a manger, but it can be challenging to carry Christ's message into the world throughout the year.

保罗给提摩太的信中这首诗歌教导我们，以肉身来到世上的耶稣，证实了祂一切言行中的真理。（祂以十字架上的死和从死里的复活救我们脱离罪和死亡，来完成了使命。）这是个大好的消息，且不仅如此，耶稣从死里复活以后，又升到了天上。现在“天上，地下所有的权柄”都赐给祂了（马太福音 28:18）。耶稣降世不仅要作王，且要作荣耀之君王。

The song in Paul's letter to Timothy teaches that Jesus, who came to earth in the flesh, proved the truth of all he said and did. (He accomplished that by dying on a cross and rising from the dead to rescue us from sin and death.) That's good news, and there is more. After Jesus rose from death, he ascended to heaven. "All authority in heaven and on earth" now belongs to him (Matthew 28:18). Jesus was born not just to be a king, but to be the King of Glory.

你有没有让耶稣成为你的生命之歌呢？

Have you let Jesus become the song of your life?

祷告

天父，感谢祢提醒我们，在基督里祢向我们启示了极大的奥秘。感谢祢爱我们，差祂来到世上做我们的救主、我们的主和我们荣耀的君王。奉祂的名祷告。阿们。

Prayer

Thank you, Father, that we are reminded of the great mystery you have revealed to us in Jesus. Thank you for your love that sent him to become our Savior, Lord, and King. In his name we pray. Amen.
