主讲:林慈信牧师_校对:刘加立_文字:_杨姐妹

Called to the ministry section two《天命与你》第二讲。

我们上一讲说过,don’t seek the ministry to save your soul你不要为了救自己的灵魂,来追求传道的事工。

好,我们继续,a man can not earn his salvation by preaching,that salvation not be earn你不能讲道说,救恩是不能赚回来的,你不能透过这样的宣讲,来赚回你的救恩的。Claim Christ’s promise你要领取,基督的应许。He that comes and to me, I will in no wise cast out到我这里来的,我总不丢弃他,约翰福音六章37节。he will receive you基督必定接纳你,and make his name yours forever祂必定让祂的名字永远成为你的。

提摩太后书第一章第九节,上帝救了我们,以圣召召我们,不是按我们的行为,乃是按祂的旨意和恩典。这恩典是万古之先在基督耶稣里赐给我们的。

Not a lifetime ,not even an eternal lifetime can measure the span of Got’s calling一辈子,甚至在将来永恒的、我们的生命,都不能够穷究上帝呼召的长阔高深。like a rainbow像彩虹一样,It arches from horizon to horizon神的呼召,是从永远到永远的。

God’s life giving call of grace is the source of our salvation我们救恩的泉源,就是上帝那个赐人生命的恩典的呼召。life giving call of grace赐人生命的恩典的呼召,God’s life shaping call to glory is the goal of our salvation而我们救恩的目的终点,乃是上帝那个塑造我们生命的荣耀的呼召。

再来一次:上帝的呼召,恩典的呼召,是赐我们生命;上帝呼召我们,进入到荣耀中,是塑造我们生命的呼召,那个是我们救恩的终点。从我们救恩的来源,到终点,上帝的呼召是那么的长阔高深。

In deed,the bow of a calling reflects the uncreated light of God’s grace shining from the dawn before all mornings诚然的,上帝给我们每个人的呼召就好像彩虹一样,反映出上帝恩典的造物主之光。上帝恩典之光,在还没有晚上早晨之前,就从那个的永恒的晨曦开始照耀了。

With all the christian confesses基督徒存着敬畏的心承认,约翰一书第三章第一节:你看!父赐给我们是何等的慈爱,使我们得称为上帝的儿女,我们也真是祂的儿女。

God’s children are called to be like God上帝呼召祂的儿女效法祂,要像祂,whoever bears God’s holy name must be a holy one, a Saint任何一个穿戴着上帝的圣名的人,必须是一个圣者,一个圣徒。it is not enough for Him to pray hallowed be thy name若祷告说,愿人都尊你的名为圣,是不足够的。he must hallow God’s name in a life that fulfills his calling他们必须透过生命来尊神的名为圣,这个生命就成就了、实现了祂的呼召。

Like as He who called you is holy,be ye yourselves also holy彼得前书第一章15节,那召你们的既是圣洁,你们在一切所行的事上,也要圣洁。the call of the Old Testament things to walk with God, was often set in their names很多时候,旧约的圣徒,神给他们的呼召都刻在他们的名字上,上帝呼召他们要与祂同行。

They carry divine name EL or Jah in witness to the calling他们的名字里面包含了上帝的名字,“L”,“EL”或者” Jah”,见证着上帝对他们的呼召。

Elijah means my God is Jah以利亚的名字的意思就是我的神是Jah。Joshua约书亚,Isiah以赛亚,declared the Lord’s saved这两个名字都宣告着耶和华主施行拯救,Israel以色列,Samuel撒母耳, Hezekiah希西家,Josiah约西亚,Nehemiah尼希米,and Zacharias撒迦利亚,all word joined to God by name都藉着他们的名字,与上帝联结,

If they disobeyed the Lord their God假如他们悖逆不顺服耶和华他们的上帝,they dishonored His name他们就羞辱了神的名字。If like Elijah they were filled with zeal for the Lord假如他们好像以利亚一样充满着为耶和华的大发的热心,their lives preached the texts of the name那他们的生命,就在宣告他们的名字这个文本。

God’s grace goes even deep上帝的恩典是更深的。not only does He give his name to his people上帝不仅仅将祂的名字赐给祂的子民,but it takes their names as His own上帝甚至使他们子民的名字成为祂自己的名字,He reviews himself as EL, Elohim Israel, God the God of Israel上帝自我启示,祂就是神,以色列的神EL, Elohim Israel。他He is the God of Abraham、 Isaac and Jacob祂是亚伯拉罕、以撒、雅各的神,by the names of his sons ,God is identified to the nations透过上帝儿子们的名字,万国可以认出神的身份。

Did God’s goodness exceed his wisdom? 上帝是智慧的,难道祂的良善超越了祂的智慧吗?Could He not foresee the consequences of identifying himself with this people? 祂没有看到后果吗?当祂自己认同于这个子民的时候,难道祂没有看到后来会发生什么事吗?

God’s people defied his name神的子民羞辱了祂的名字,And made it a vein of among the conquerors在征服以色列民的国家里面,神的名字成为一个虚妄的、发誓时候用的名字,God’s name was blasphemed among the nations上帝的名字,由列国亵渎,Precisely because he was known as a God of Israel就是因为上帝称自己是以色列的神。

No.God’s grace was not in vain不是的,上帝恩典并不是徒然的。Nor what’s his purpose thwarted上帝的计划也没有挫败,He calls to the distant nations and the isles of the sea to hear his proclamation祂呼召远方的列国,呼召海里的众岛,听祂的宣告。He has called from the womb , a true servant祂从母胎里呼召了一个真的仆人,Who is his salvation to the ends of the earth祂就是祂的救恩,直到地极。

This servant is named of God这位仆人是有神来命名的,以赛亚书第49章第一节:众海岛啊,当听我言,远方的众民啊,留心而听。自我出胎,耶和华就选召我,自出母腹,祂就提我的名。he will be the true Israel祂必为真以色列,He will restore a remnant of the tribes of Jacob祂要使雅各的支派的余民归回、恢复,and be a light to the Gentiles更要做外邦人之光,以赛亚第49章第六节:“现在祂说你做我的仆人,使雅各众支派复兴,使以色列中得保全的归回尚为小事,我还要使你做外邦人的光,叫你施行我的救恩直到地极。”

His name is wonderful祂的名字是奇妙,Counselor策士,the Mighty God全能的神,the Everlasting Father永在之父,the Prince of Peace和平之君。以赛亚九章第六节。He is Immanuel God with us祂就是“以马内利”神与我们同在,以赛亚7章14节。

God’s purpose to put his name on man in the calling of sonship is realized in Christ,上帝的旨意,上帝要将祂的名字放在人的身上,当上帝呼召人听从祂的儿子的时候,祂就将祂的名字放在人的身上。

这个旨意,在基督里就完全实现了,His name is Jesus, Joshua祂的名字是耶稣,就是约书亚,For He save His people from the their sins因为,祂必拯救祂的子民脱离他们的罪恶。God’s name is in Him上帝的名字在耶稣里,and His calling to sonship glorifies His father’s name而耶稣被召,做神的儿子是荣耀祂父亲的名字的。

马太福音第17章第5节,说话之间,忽然有一朵光明的云彩遮盖他们,且有声音从云彩里出来说:“这是我的爱子,我所喜悦的,你们要听祂。”马太17章第5节。

约翰12章28节,耶稣说:“父啊,愿你荣耀你的名。”当时就有声音从天上来说:“我已经荣耀了我的名,还要再荣耀。”
