耶稣被钉十字架的死亡和幔子的裂开向世人显明他是“神的儿子”,The death of Jesus on the cross and the tearing of the curtain revealed to the world that He was the "Son of God,"就像百夫长看见耶稣死亡的景象宣告说:just as the centurion saw the scene of Jesus' death and proclaimed, “这人真是神的儿子!”"Truly this man was the Son of God!"百夫长是亲眼目睹这一切,The centurion witnessed all of this firsthand,遍地黑暗,the darkness covering the land,耶稣受鞭打、戏弄、嘲讽、钉十架、Jesus enduring the scourging, mockery, ridicule, crucifixion,祂顺服至死的全部过程,and His obedience to death,与那些受刑人的表现是何等的与众不同,all of which distinguished Jesus from the other condemned prisoners,认定耶稣乃是神的儿子。affirming that Jesus was indeed the Son of God.
耶稣说:“父赐给我的杯我岂可不喝呢?” Jesus said, " Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?”完全顺服父的旨意,He fully obeyed the will of the Father,顺服至死且死在十字架上,submitting to death and dying on the cross.最痛的时候,At the most painful moment,为我这个仇敌祈求:He prayed for me, His enemy, saying, “父啊,赦免他们,他们所行的他们不晓得。”"Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing."主啊,你在我还在作罪人的时候,你就为我死,Lord, You died for me while I was still a sinner,你的爱就向我显明了,Your love was revealed to me,救我不救你自己,saving me without saving Yourself,把爱活在伤口,showing your love for us, by suffering the affliction of your wounds,使我的气息还存,keeping my breath alive,生命还在,my life intact,因感恩不忘本相,I should be grateful and never forget my true nature, 活出你真儿子的生命。and be living out the life of Your true Son.
主啊,我因著耶稣十架的救恩而成为你的儿女,Lord, I became your child through the salvation of Jesus' cross.你如今差派我走进家庭、职场、教会当中,You have now sent me into families, workplaces, and churches,要我背起十字架来跟随你,asking me to take up the cross and follow You.这十字架充满着许多的苦难,This cross is full of many sufferings,然而我总是希望你能够在背十字架的过程中施行神迹,yet I always hope that You can perform miracles as I bear the cross,让我能够从十字架上下来,allowing me to come down from it.你所愿的是要我效法耶稣顺服至死在十架上,What You desire is for me to imitate Jesus' obedience unto death on the cross,在我的死上彰显福音大能的见证。to manifest the powerful testimony of the gospel through my death.
主啊,感谢你借着苦难训练我的顺服,Lord, thank You for training me to be obedient, 主啊,through sufferings,使我有胜过一切苦难的能力。giving me the power to overcome all hardships.主啊,我深信我在哪里死到底,Lord, I deeply believe that wherever I die completely to the self,哪里就会得着复兴。there will be revival.主啊,请你折服我,Lord,
please humble me,做你合用的器皿,make me a vessel fit for Your
use,完全的顺服,to be completely obedient, 完全的降服, to completely surrender, 愿你的荣耀彰显在我生命里,May Your
glory shine in my life,活着的不再是我,乃是基督在我里面活。So that I no longer live but Christ who lives in me. (郭姊妹Sister Guo)
