💜《神的心意-God’s Best Secrets》20220618『成了-It is Finished』— 慕安德烈 [Andrew Murray]

經文: 「耶穌嘗了那醋，就說：成了；便低下頭，將靈魂交付上帝了。」— [聖經·約翰福音 19章30節]

耶穌在十字架上說的這句話，顯明祂的心志與順服。祂在傳道之初就說：「我的食物，就是遵行差我來者的旨意，作成祂的工。」(約翰福音 4章34節)，在凡事上無論大小，祂一心就是要把上帝所交待的事做好。在祂三年傳道工作之後，祂以最高祭司的身份如此禱告：「我在地上已經榮耀祢，祢所託付我的事，我已成全了。」(約翰福音 17章4節)，祂犧牲一切，為我們捨棄生命在十字架上，因此祂可以這樣說：「成了」。

說完這句話，祂就把生命交付天父，上帝也加添祂的力量，使祂能忍受那人世間最殘忍的酷刑，釘死在十字架上為世人償還犯罪的代價，完成救贖的工作。

每一位跟隨基督的信徒，都應該有耶穌的心志與順服，以耶穌的心腸為我們的心腸，在各樣的事上遵行上帝的旨意，作為我們行事的原則與動力。或許是閃過腦海的意念，或是微不足道的瑣事，若不求問上帝反憑己意而行，都會讓上帝的國度或自己受虧損。或者我們會想逃避那些麻煩和要我們付上代價的事，這也是一種違逆不順服。然而，靠著我們救主耶穌在十字架的勞苦受死，我們已經在各樣的事上得勝有餘，因為藉著信心，我們可以像耶穌在十字架上說：「成了」。我們每天支取所需要的能力，藉著與祂在十字架上的死聯合，就得以有份於祂復活的生命。

親愛的弟兄姐妹們，多多挖掘聖經中無限的寶藏，深思聖經中耶穌所講的：「成了」；默想耶穌在十字架上所成就的大功，可以幫助你每天彰顯十字架的精神-犧牲捨己。

『 It is Finished 』

Scripture: “When Jesus had received the vinegar. He said: ‘It is finished.'” — [John 19:30]

The seven words of our Lord on the cross reveal to us His mind and disposition. At the beginning of His ministry He said (John 4:34): “My meat is to do the will of Him that sent me, and to finish His work.” In all things, the small as well as the great. He should accomplish God’s work. In the High-Priestly prayer at the end of the three years’ ministry, He could say (John 17:4): “I have glorified Thee on the earth, I have finished the work which Thou gavest me to do.” He sacrificed all, and in dying on the cross could in truth say: “It is finished.”

With that word to the Father He laid down His life. With that word He was strengthened, after the terrible agony on the cross, in the knowledge that all was now fulfilled. And with that word He uttered the truth of the gospel of our redemption, that all that was needed for man’s salvation had been accomplished on the cross.

This disposition should characterize every follower of Christ. The mind that was in Him must be in us-it must he our meat, the strength of our life, to do the Will of God in all things, and to finish His work. There may be small things about which we are not conscientious and so we bring harm to ourselves and to God’s work. Or we draw back before some great thing which demands too much sacrifice. In every case we may find strength to perform our duty in Christ’s word: “It is finished.” His finished work secured the victory over every foe. By faith we may appropriate that dying word of Christ on the cross, and find the power for daily living and dying in the fellowship of the crucified Christ.

Child of God, study the inexhaustible treasure contained in this word: “It is finished.” Faith in what Christ accomplished on the cross will enable you to manifest in daily life the spirit of the cross.
