耶稣基督——那头生的儿子

Firstborn Son

读经 | Reading

“就生了头胎的儿子，用布包起来，放在马槽里...... ” —路2:7

"She gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger..." — Luke 2:7

灵修 | Devotion

手抱着新生儿是多么美妙的事啊！看着他刚刚睁开的眼睛，摸着他细嫩的皮肤，听着他细细的吱吱声。马利亚头生的儿子，躺在马槽里，真让人屏气静息！

It's so wonderful to hold a newborn baby in your arms. To look into the newly opened eyes, to feel the delicate skin, to hear the little squeaks. We pause here in wonder at Mary's firstborn son, lying in a manger.

但当我们欣赏这马槽里的婴孩时，要知道祂需要长大。那位将来要“称为奇妙、策士、全能的神、永在的父、和平的君”（以赛亚书 9:6）的不是一个婴孩；那位将要面对固有的宗教体制、罗马凯撒王权，以及撒旦、罪恶和死亡的，不是一个婴孩；那位将为我们死在十字架上的不是一个婴孩；那位将要从坟墓里复活、升天、坐在天父右边掌权的，不是一个婴孩。

But as we admire the baby in the manger, we know that he has to grow up. It's not a baby who "will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace" (Isaiah 9:6). It's not a baby who will take on the religious establishment and the Roman caesar and Satan and sin and death. It's not a baby who will die for our sake on a cross. It's not a baby who will then rise from the tomb, ascend to heaven, and take his seat at the Father's right hand to reign.

那个甜美的小婴儿将会长大，倾覆这世界的权势体系。尽管祂是至高的神，却成为一个无助的婴孩；没有阔衣华服，而是衣衫褴褛。这位勇士没有被威武的军队环绕，而只有无名小卒相随。祂那权柄的雷鸣现今削减为孩子的哭声。

That sweet little newborn will grow up and overturn the power structures of the world. Though he is almighty God, he becomes a helpless infant. Instead of royal robes he wears strips of cloth. Instead of a warrior surrounded by an army, he is attended by nobodies. The thunder of his authority is muted into the cries of a child.

但这个无助的婴孩，却是最强有力的威胁，因为祂就是神的应许，将要消灭世上一切的强权。

But this helpless baby is a powerful threat because he is a promise that the days of the powerful are numbered.

让我们一起惊叹，在这个小小的襁褓里面，包裹着一个将要改变我们生命、改变这个世界的能力——直到永远。

Let's marvel that in this little bundle lies the power that will change our lives—and this world—forever.

来，让我们“齐来虔诚同崇拜，主基督！”

"O come, let us adore him, Christ, the Lord!"

祷告 | Prayer

伟大的主伟大的神啊，为着祢头生的儿子，祢所差遣来拯救我的耶稣基督，我们把一切荣耀归与祢。阿们，阿们！
