圣诞特辑 | 女孩们的圣经时光

就在他们逗留期间，她分娩的时刻到了。

And while they were there, the time came for her baby to be born.

她生下了头胎儿子。

She gave birth to her firstborn son.

她用布条将婴儿紧紧包裹，安放在马槽里，因为客店里没有他们的住处。

She wrapped him snugly in strips of cloth and laid him in a manger because there's no lodging available for them.

耶稣离开了天上的宝座，离开完美洁净的天堂，来到这污秽的尘世，降生在肮脏之地。

Jesus left his heavenly throne, left his perfect clean heaven to come to dirty earth and be born in the dirt.

我最近特别着迷，因为感觉太奇怪了。

I am so fascinated recently, especially because like, so many, it's so weird.

现在显然是个政治敏感时期。

Just, it's just a political time obviously.

各种政治议题突然向我们敞开。

And like political things have been opened up to us.

最近关于政治的讨论特别多。

And there's just been like much talk around politics.

显然我们刚刚经历了选举。

And obviously we just had the election.

我想在这个季节里，我完全沉迷于一个事实：耶稣确实从未利用任何政治或王权的影响力或权力。

And I think in this season I have just become so obsessed with the fact that Jesus legitimately never harnessed any sort of political or royal influence or power.

他不想要这些。

He didn't want it.

他不需要这些。

He didn't need it.

在他整个在世期间——我知道我们上次讨论过这个——但他生命的谦卑之处在于，他从未攫取任何权力，包括政治权力。

The whole time that he was alive, and I know we talked about this last time, but like the humility of his life, how he never grasped for any sort of power, including political.

而当时的一切都植根于政治，与今天的情况相似。

And everything at this time was rooted in politics, similar to how it is today.

我们生活在一个后基督教时代的美国，这个时代人们把总统、候选人或政治权力视为我们的弥赛亚、救世主和解救之道。

How we live in an America where this is post Christian America, and we are living in a time where people look at presidents or candidates or just like political power as our Messiah, as our savior, as our means of rescue.

而实际上，耶稣——在那个时代所有人都以为弥赛亚会来推翻罗马政府，让以色列恢复原貌，然后他将统治一切。

When in reality, Jesus, and during this time, everybody thought that the Messiah was gonna come, overthrow the Roman government, Israel back to its original form, and he was gonna reign.

是啊。

Yeah.

但他为了一个不同的国度而来，并且他说，我一点都不想要这些。

But he came for a different kingdom and he said, I don't want any of it.

我不需要这些。

I don't need it.

我来是为了寻找那些患病、受伤、破碎和迷失的孩子们。

I'm coming to get my kids who are sick and hurting and broken and lost.

我只是，我太着迷了。

And I'm just, I'm obsessed.

我痴迷于耶稣的谦卑。

I'm obsessed with the humility of Jesus.

他本可以

He came here, he could have

成为任何身份，但他选择来服侍我们。

been anything and he came to just serve us.

是的，并不是说政治不重要。

Yeah, it's not that politics aren't important.

当然重要，毕竟有领导人在位。

Of course they are, there are leaders.

圣经说得很清楚，上帝的归上帝，凯撒的归凯撒。

And scripture is so clear that you pay to God what is God's and you pay to Caesar's Or what is you pay to Caesar what is Caesar's.

我们在政治中确实有角色要扮演，百分之百。

Like, we have a part to play in politics, 100%.

我认为关键在于分清轻重缓急，合理划分，把重心放在该放的地方。

And I just think it's all about prioritizing and compartmentalizing and putting weight where it's due.

将其奉为偶像。

Idolizing it.

确实如此。

Exactly.

人们已经完全将政治偶像化了。

People have completely idolized politics.

我

I

最爱的就是耶稣所拥有的那种力量，而他从未使用过它。

just love the idea of power that Jesus had the most, and he never used it.

我知道。

I know.

他从未使用过。

He never used it.

他确实没有。

He never did.

因为他不需要。

Because he didn't need to.

我知道。

I know.

他知道天父与他同在，无需亲自出手。

He knew that his father had his back he didn't need to do.

我彻底被击垮了，一整天都在为他为我们所做的一切而震撼，我无法承受。

I'm going to be wrecked, I've been wrecked all day by the fact that what he did for us is, I can't handle it.

这就是基督徒生活的意义，它真正教导你成为最好的人。

That's why the Christian life, it really teaches you to be the best person.

如果你真正以基督徒的方式行走，却没有成为最好的自己，那一定有问题。因为如果你真正追随祂、阅读祂的话语、效法祂的榜样，这自然会让你思考：我怎能不成为一个仆人呢？

If you are truly walking as a Christian, and you're not being the best version of yourself, something's wrong, because if you're really following Him and reading His word and how He was, it just causes you to like, how could I not be a servant?

是啊，是啊，是啊，

Yeah, yeah, yeah,

耶稣的追随者就是仆人。

A follower of Jesus is a servant.

这就是祂所做的。

That's what he did.

祂谦卑地降临人世，毕生服务他人，医治病人，教导我们如何去爱、如何怀有慈悲之心，甚至教导我们如何看待伤害我们的人并依然爱他们。

He humbly came and just spent his life serving others and healing the sick and teaching us how to love and how to have compassion and look at people that do us wrong and still love them anyways.

就像祂教导我们的那样，仅此而已，这是多么珍贵的礼物。

Like he taught us that, like that, nothing else, what a gift.

路加福音2:8记载：'那天晚上，有牧羊人在附近的田野看守羊群。'

Luke two:eight, it says, That night there were shepherds staying in the fields nearby, guarding their flocks of sheep.

忽然，主的一位天使出现在他们中间，主的荣光四面照耀着他们。

Suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared among them, and the radiance of the Lord's glory surrounded them.

他们非常害怕，但天使安慰他们说：'不要惧怕，我报给你们大喜的信息，是关乎万民的。'

They were terrified, but the angel reassured them, Don't be afraid, he said, I bring you good news that will bring great joy to all people.

那就是耶稣。

That is Jesus.

他是带给全人类大喜讯的福音。

He is good news that brings great joy to all people.

救主——是的，就是弥赛亚、主，今天在大卫的城伯利恒诞生了。

The savior, yes, the Messiah, the Lord has been born today in Bethlehem, the city of David.

你们要凭这个记号认出他来：

And you will recognize him by this sign.

你们会看见一个婴孩，用布包着，卧在马槽里。

You will find a baby wrapped snugly in ships of cloth lying in a manger.

忽然，有一大队天兵同那天使一起出现，赞美神说：在至高之处荣耀归于神，在地上平安归于祂所喜悦的人。

Suddenly the angel was joined by a vast host of others, the armies of heaven praising God and saying, glory to God in the highest heaven and peace on earth to those with whom God is pleased.

经上记着说，他们急忙赶到村里，找到了马利亚和约瑟，还有那躺在马槽里的婴孩。

And then it says, they hurried to the village and found Mary and Joseph, and there was the baby lying in the manger.

牧羊人看见后，就把天使论这孩子的话传开了。

After seeing him, the shepherds told everyone what had happened and what the angel had said to them about this child.

听见的人无不惊讶，但马利亚把这些事都存在心里反复思想。

All who heard the shepherd's story were astonished, but Mary kept all these things in her heart and thought about them often.

牧羊人回到羊群那里，因所闻所见的一切荣耀赞美神。

The shepherds went back to their flocks, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen.

正如天使所告诉他们的那样。

It was just as the angel had told them.

这就是那个无比甜美的圣诞故事。

So that is the sweet, sweet, sweet Christmas story.

耶稣，这世上的光。

Jesus, the light of the world.

耶稣诞生了。

Jesus is born.

他来拯救，他来解救，他来施予爱。

He comes to save, he comes to rescue, he comes to love.

我记得以前每年圣诞节，我都压力山大，担心礼物、担心家人，像只无头苍蝇一样到处乱转。

I remember when I would spend every single year, so stressed out, worrying about my gifts, worrying about the family, just running around like a chicken without my head every single Christmas.

而当我遇见耶稣那年，虽然是最美好的一年，却也是最孤独的一年，因为我正经历太多磨难。

And then the year I found Jesus, it was one of the, it was the best year, but still one of the loneliest years, because I was going through so much.

那时我真的很孤独，若没有祂，真不知该如何度过。

I was really going through a lonely time, and I don't know what I would have done without Him.

若非祂的陪伴，我不知该如何熬过那些最孤独的夜晚——正在听的人一定深有体会。

I don't know how I would have gotten through my loneliest nights if it wasn't from Him, and whoever's listening knows exactly what I'm talking about.

遇见耶稣那一年永生难忘，得救后的第一个圣诞节，我整天都沉浸在震撼中，心想：这就是了。

And the year I found Jesus, I'll never forget it, I'll never forget my first Christmas when I got saved, and I just sat there all day in complete awe of just being like, this is it.

多年来我总为错误的事忧虑，而现在终于明白：你就是光，你就是答案，你拯救了我的生命。

I spent so many years sitting there worrying about all the wrong things, and this is it, that you're the light, you are it, you have saved my life.

那时我甚至没有家人陪伴，但我记得就在两年前，我独自坐着，完全沉浸在耶稣带来的幸福与平静中默想。我知道圣诞季可能让人感到非常忙乱，你知道的，它也可能勾起许多伤痛。

And it wasn't like I had even, I wasn't even around my family, but I remember just sitting there, this was two years ago, and it was complete bliss and peace of just soaking in Jesus and reflecting, and I know that the Christmas season can feel so hectic, you know, it can bring up a lot of hurt.

是啊。

Yeah.

它可能勾起失去挚爱的痛苦。

It can bring up pain of losing someone that you love so much.

它可能揭露你生活中的种种不如意。

It can bring up the dysfunction that you're living in.

它可能引发许多痛苦和伤害。

It can just bring up a lot of pain and hurt.

所以我只想让你记住耶稣说过的话：'你们无需惧怕'。

And so I just want you to remember what Jesus said when he says, You don't need to be afraid.

不要害怕，我与你同在。

Fear not, I am with you.

在你感到孤独的时刻，在这个圣诞季你感到彻底孤单的时刻，我希望你知道他与你同在，他正对你说：'我与你同在，不要害怕，我们会一起度过难关'。

In these times where you feel lonely, these times in the Christmas season when you are feeling completely alone, I want you to know that he's with you, that he's sitting there saying, I'm with you, don't be afraid, we'll get through this together.

他如此深爱着你，而我们许多人在这个时节却只顾着思考各种事情，唯独忽略了耶稣。

He loves you so much, and it's just, a lot of us just go in this time of just thinking about all the things, but Jesus.

我这一生都在犯这样的错误。

I spent my whole life doing that.

所以我真心希望你们能在这个圣诞季里，惊叹他为我们所做的一切，惊叹他给予的爱与怜悯，甚至为我们献出了生命，明白吗？

And so I really hope that you guys can just spend this Christmas season being in awe of what he's done for us, being in awe of the love and compassion and that he gave his life for us, you know?

所以，是的，我想对正在聆听的新基督徒们说，这就是恩赐，这就是我们被赐予的礼物——耶稣。

So, yeah, I just, for you new Christians that are listening, that's the gift, that's the gift that we've been given, is Jesus.

祂是我们生命的光，与我们同在每一刻，深知我们经历的一切。

He's the light of our life, He's with us through every, He knows everything we went through.

因为祂亲身经历过那份悲伤与痛苦。

He, because He experienced it, the sorrow, the agony.

据说祂在十字架上时，面容已无法辨认。

They said that when He was on the cross, He was unrecognizable.

这就是祂所承受的巨大痛苦。

That's how much pain He went through.

我们所经历的一切，他也都经历过。

So everything that we go through, he's been through too.

我们感受的一切，甚至我们自以为羞耻的想法，他也都经历过。

Everything that we feel and we think that we're ashamed of, he's been there too.

他看见并理解我们。

He sees us and understands us.

这就是我们所得的礼物——在旧约中，上帝被称为全能者，而他却以卑微的仆人形象来到人间，有马利亚作他的母亲，她只是个普通女孩，约瑟则是个普通男孩。

And that's the gift that we have, that in the Old Testament, God was known as the Almighty, the all powerful God, and then He came as a little servant boy with Mary, a mom who was Mary, she was just an average girl, and who was Joseph, he was just an average boy.

他作为耶稣降临人间，以父亲的身份向我们展示我们是他的孩子，不必活在恐惧中。

And then he came here as Jesus, as father, to show us that we're his children, that we don't have to live in fear.

我是世界的光，跟从我的就不在黑暗里走。

I am the light of the world, whoever follows me will never have to walk in darkness.

如果圣诞节别无意义，你们能否沉浸在这一真理中？

If nothing else is Christmas season, can you guys soak in that?

是的。

Yes.

当我们接受耶稣作为我们的天父和主时，就不必生活在黑暗中？

That we don't have to live in darkness when we accept Jesus as our Father and our Lord?

这是他给予我们最伟大的礼物和牺牲。

That is the ultimate gift and sacrifice that he gives us.

太棒了，太棒了。

So good, so good.

多么珍贵的礼物啊。

What a gift.

GGB快跑，别走。

我觉得我们重视神学非常重要，神学对我而言就是一切。

I think it's so important that we, like theology is everything to me.

我热爱圣经，胜过世间万物。

I love the Bible, I love scripture more than anything.

我钟爱福音背后的神学思想。

我等不及了。

等巡演一结束，我就要去神学院，这将是我人生中最棒的一年。

I'm gonna go to, as soon as tour is over, I'm going to seminary and it's gonna be the best year of my life.

我迫不及待想要一段完全沉浸在校园里的隐修时光。

I can't wait for a season of complete hiddenness just in school.

完全同意。

Totally.

但就像阿里说的，旧约中的上帝曾是那么遥不可及。

But I, you know, to go off what Ari said, the God of the Old Testament was a God who was so unreachable.

圣诞节的意义就在'以马内利'这个词里，意思是'上帝与我们同在'。

The point of Christmas, the meaning of Christmas is in the word Emmanuel, which means God with us.

上帝与我们同在，不在远方，不在天堂，不在宝座上俯视我们，而是与我们同在，在我们里面，在我们周围。

God with us, God not far away, God not in heaven, God not on his throne looking down at us, but God with us, in us, around us.

阿里谈到旧约里上帝是那样威严的存在。

And Ari talked about how in the Old Testament, like he was this big God.

如果你了解旧约中关于血与十字架的神学，明白耶稣为何必须受死，就知道我们原本无法轻易进入上帝的同在。

And in the Old Testament, if you guys know the theology about the blood and the cross and why Jesus even had to die, we could not enter into God's presence easily.

我们无法呼唤祂的名，也无法直接进入祂的同在。

We could not call on His name and we could not just like enter into His presence.

我们做不到，必须进入至圣所才行。

We could not, you would have to go into the Holy of Holies.

必须进入圣殿，进入会幕。

You'd have to go into the temple, into the tabernacle.

我们需要中间人，需要大祭司来为我们的罪赎罪。

We had a middle man, we had the high priest who had to atone for our sins.

我们与上帝之间总隔着些什么

We always had something in between us and God.

上帝派遣耶稣来撕裂幔子，让每个人无论身处何地都能进入至圣所

And God sent Jesus so that he would tear down the veil and everybody would be able to enter into the Holy of Holies no matter where you are.

因此以马内利——上帝与我们同在——他来到这里是因为渴望与我们同在

And so Emmanuel, God with us, he came here because he wanted to be with us.

耶稣降临是为了解决罪的问题

Jesus came because of the issue with sin.

就像阿里谈到的旧约中的上帝。

Like Ari talked about the God of the Old Testament.

新约中说，我们可以坦然无惧地来到施恩的宝座前，为要得怜恤、蒙恩惠，作随时的帮助。

In the New Testament, it says that we can enter boldly before the throne of grace to obtain mercy and find help in a time of need.

在旧约中，你无法大胆地接近上帝。

You could not boldly approach God in the Old Testament.

是上帝的仁慈赐予了我们耶稣。

It is the kindness of God that gave us Jesus.

这是上帝的爱。

It's the love of God.

这是上帝之爱的终极体现和彰显，而上帝之爱的彰显是通过赐予我们耶稣，使我们得以与祂建立真实的关系。

It the ultimate expression and manifest of God's love and manifestation of God's love is through sending us Jesus so that we could actually have a relationship with Him.

这就是耶稣降临的全部原因和核心意义。

That is the whole reason, the whole point why Jesus came.

至关重要的是要明白，圣诞节不仅仅关乎一个婴孩的诞生，而是关乎一位成为人的上帝。

And it's so important to know that Christmas is not just about a baby that was born, but it's about a God who became man.

耶稣既是完全的神，也是完全的人。

Jesus was fully man and fully human.

所以他降生时，既是完全的人，也是完全的神，这意味着他拥有所有的权柄、神性，以及上帝所包含和拥有的一切，耶稣都具备。

So when he was born, he was literally equal parts human, equal parts God, meaning he had all the authority, all of the divinity, everything that God encompasses and has, Jesus had it.

同时他也完全经历了我们所经历的一切。

And then he equally experienced everything that we do.

我们常会笑着讨论经文中的争战：'太初有道，道与神同在，道就是神。'

And we always laugh about the scripture battle about in the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God.

但这句话在此刻同样适用。

But that applies in this moment.

太初有道——这道就是耶稣——与神同在，道就是神。

In the beginning was the word and the word meaning Jesus was with God and the word was God.

因此需要明白，虽然耶稣可能在圣诞节降生（因为我们不知道确切日期）

So it's important to know that while Jesus may have been born on Christmas, because we don't know the actual date.

耶稣是在圣诞节降生，但他的存在并非始于圣诞节。

Jesus was born on Christmas, but he did not begin at Christmas.

太初之时，他就与神同在。

He was with God in the beginning.

要认识他作为救主，我们必须先承认他是创造者。

To know him as savior, we must recognize him as creator.

那悬挂星辰与明月的手，正是被钉在十字架上的同一双手。

The same hands that hung the stars and the moon are the same hands that were nailed to a cross.

我们的创造主就是我们的救主。

Our creator is our savior.

他是同一位，本质完全相同。

He is the same, he's one in the same.

认识到耶稣的全部身份至关重要——既是救主耶稣，又是创造万物的神和我们的天父。

It's so important to recognize the entirety of who Jesus is as Jesus our savior and as God our creator and our father.

我深爱他是我们天父这个事实。

I love that he's our father.

甜美、慈爱、温柔的耶稣。

Sweet, sweet, sweet Jesus.

经上说，道成了肉身，住在我们中间。

And it says that the word became flesh and dwelt among us.

他如此渴望来到这里，与我们同在。

He wanted so badly to be in here, in the middle of it with us.

他如此渴望在我与酗酒抗争时能陪伴在我身边。

He wanted so badly to have the ability to be with me when I was dealing with alcoholism.

他也渴望在你心碎时与你同在。

And he wanted to be with you when you were in your heartbreak.

他渴望在你们经历痛苦、陷入混乱时与你们同在。

And he wants to be with you guys in the middle of your pain, in the middle of your mess.

他如此爱你们，甚至说：'我实在对你们痴迷不已'。

He loves you so much that he said, I am legitimately so obsessed with you.

我不能再留在那里了。

I can't stay there anymore.

我必须来寻你。

I have to come for you.

你们明白耶稣为何而来吗？

Do you guys understand why Jesus came?

因为他爱你们。

Because he loves you.

他渴望拥有你们。

He wants you.

这是我们所能见证的最伟大的爱的表达。

It's the greatest expression of love that we'll ever see.

这是人类听闻过的最伟大的爱情故事。

It's the greatest love story that man has ever heard.

一位如我们上帝般神圣珍贵的神，甘愿降临人间并谦卑自处。

A God as divine and as precious as our God wanted to come here and humble Himself.

他并非只是披着人类外衣的上帝，仿佛比我们更优越。

It's not like He was like God wrapped in human clothing and he was just like better than us.

他就是我们中的一员。

He was us.

祂以与我们相同的形式步入人类历史。

He stepped into human history in the same form as us.

祂对我们的软弱和挣扎如此谦卑。

How humble with all of our weaknesses, with all of our struggles.

这简直难以置信。

It's unbelievable.

我承受不了。

I can't take it.

如果仅凭父亲一人，

If dad alone,

当你真正理解祂为我们所做的一切，当你真正明白这一点时，你怎么可能不愿意献出生命？

when you really understand what he did for us, when you really truly understand that, how could you not want to lay your life down?

每当你觉得'我做不到'时，想想祂为我们所做的牺牲。

Anytime you're like, well I can't, I can't think about what he did for us, think about what he sacrificed for us.

如果仅此一点还不足以让你说'不不不，无论如何我都要定睛仰望你，看看你为我所做的一切'。

If that alone doesn't make you say, oh no no no, that is not, no matter what that looks like, I'm gonna keep my eyes on you, look at what you've done for me.

我们太多人也是这样想，耶稣不爱我，我罪孽太深重，我做了太多错事。

So many of us too, we're like, Jesus doesn't love me, I'm too far gone, I've done too much.

他完全理解这一切。

He understands it all.

看看他所做的，看看他是如何经历这一切的。

Look at what he did, look at how he went through it all.

他目睹了一切，他见证了一切，他亲身经历了这一切。

He's watched it all, he's seen it all, he's lived it.

他当然理解。

Of course he understands.

他当然会同情，当然会与你同悲。

Of course he sympathizes with Of course he mourns with you.

罗马书5:8说，唯有基督在我们还作罪人的时候为我们死，神的爱就在此向我们显明了。

Romans five:eight, But God demonstrates his own love for us in this, while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

约翰一书4:9-10说，神差他独生子到世间来，使我们藉着他得生，神爱我们的心在此就显明了。

And first John four:nine-ten says, This is how God showed his love among us.

祂将自己的独生子派到世间，使我们能藉祂得生命。

He sent his one and only son into the world that we might live through him.

这就是爱。

This is love.

不是我们爱神，而是神爱我们，并差遣祂的儿子为我们的罪作了赎罪祭。

Not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.

我们永远无法足够地爱神。

We can never love God enough.

我们就是做不到。

We just can't.

我们受限于人类的有限性，但神爱我们的能力却是无限的。

We are too limited in our humanness, but God, his ability to love, his ability to love us.

如果你让自己接受神的爱，它将改变你的生命。

If you let yourself receive the love of God, it will change your life.

它会改变你的渴望。

It'll change your desires.

它会改变你的思维方式。

It'll change your mindset.

它会改变你的行为举止。

It'll change your behavior.

我们悔改并远离罪恶并非出于被迫，而是因为我们体验过天父之爱，

We don't repent because, and turn away from sin because we have to, we do it because we have experienced the love of a father,

正是如此。

That's what it is.

我，以及我们中的许多人，在人类生活和人际关系中从未体验过这种爱。

That I, so many of us have never experienced in our human life and relationships.

但当你体验到天父之爱时，它会彻底改变一切。

But when you experience the love of a father, it changes everything about Everything.

我看着人们时只想说，请你们明白这一点。

I look at people and I'm just like, please get it.

请你们明白，因为你们正身处地狱，那简直是地狱。

Please get it because you are, it's hell, it's hell.

这就是我们来到这里为你们奋斗的原因，尤其是当你成长过程中缺乏安全感、缺乏爱、被遗弃时，你会想，我没有父母，没有朋友，我很痛苦，我很孤独。

That's why we come on here and we're just fighting for you guys because, especially when you've grown up with no safety and a lack of love, a lack of just abandonment, and you think, well I don't have parents and I don't have friends and I'm suffering, I'm lonely.

祂能填补你失去的每一处破碎，那些你在家庭中感觉缺失的，你在友谊中感觉不到的，祂都能填补。

He can fulfill every single broken part that you've lost, that you feel like you don't have in your family home, that you feel like you don't have in your friendships or He wherever will it fill that.

祂会填补这些空缺，你会感到满足。

He fills that and you will feel fulfilled.

这就是为什么祂要把你从你成长中的黑暗、你现在所处的黑暗中带出来，引领你走向光明。

That's why He will take you out of that darkness that you grew up in, that you're in right now, and He will bring you into the light.

只需要一颗心，愿意说：'我需要你，耶稣，我需要你。'

All it takes is a heart and a willingness to be like, I want you, Jesus, I want you.

我现在深受震撼。

I am getting wrecked right now.

我认为理解耶稣为何通过童贞女马利亚降世的神学背景非常重要。

I think it's really good to understand the theology behind why Jesus came through a virgin Mary.

因为很多人不知道这背后的原因。

Because a lot of people don't know why that happened.

很多人觉得这特别有趣。

A lot of people, it's so funny.

如此多的基督徒，他们的神学观如此美妙。

So many people are Christians that theology is so beautiful.

我们本应在灵里和真理中敬拜上帝。

And it's, we are meant to worship God in spirit and in truth.

所以我们要用心灵通过灵性来敬拜祂，但我们也需要真理。

So we're supposed to worship him in our spirit and through our spirituality, but we need truth.

这是同等重要的两部分：灵性与真理。

It's equal parts, spirit and truth.

如果你不懂神学，不了解你所信之事的理论基础，我不认为你能正确地敬拜耶稣。

If you don't know theology, if you don't know the theology behind what you believe, I don't believe that you can worship Jesus rightly.

你必须对与祂及其话语相关的一切有清晰明确的启示。

You have to have a clear distinct revelation of everything to do with him and his word.

你学得越多，读得越多，就应该越爱耶稣，因为你会更理解祂。

And the more you learn, the more you read, the more you should love Jesus because you understand him better.

因此耶稣必须由童贞女所生的原因在于，他既是完全的人，也是完全的神，而神不能与罪同在。

And so the reason why Jesus had to be born through a virgin is because while he's fully man, he's also fully God and God cannot be with sin.

神不会犯罪。

God does not sin.

圣经上说，罪是通过一个人——亚当——进入了世界。

Scripture says that through one man, Adam, sin entered the world.

你们都知道创世之初，亚当和夏娃被创造的故事。

And you guys know the beginning of creation, Adam and Eve were created.

我们是按着神的形象被造的。

We were created in the image of God.

我们本应像神一样。

We were meant to be like God.

我们本应与神建立关系。

We were meant to be in relationship with God.

但人类堕落了。

And man fell.

人类选择了自己的意志、自己的欲望、自己的需求和愿望。

Man chose his own will, his own desires, his own wants and needs.

我们用自己的破碎意志，替代了上帝完美的旨意。

And we traded God's perfect will for our own broken one.

自亚当以来，罪恶一直统治着世界，贯穿摩西时代、先知时代，乃至每个人的生命。

And sin has reigned ever since Adam, through Moses, through the prophets, through absolutely everybody.

罪恶统治着我们所有人，因为我们生于亚当的血脉，生来就是罪人。

It has reigned in all of us, because we're born in the bloodline of Adam, we are born sinners.

这存在于我们的血液中，渗透在我们的一切里。

It's in our blood, it's in our, like it's everything.

事实就是如此。

It is the way it is.

因此当耶稣降生时，他必须通过一位未被玷污、纯洁无瑕、圣洁无罪的女性身体降临。

And so when Jesus was born, He had to come through a woman, a body that was undefiled, that was untouched, that was pure, holy and blameless.

他必须不是通过人性受孕，而是由圣灵感孕，因为他必须摆脱我们与生俱来的罪孽印记。

He had to be conceived, not through human nature, but through by the Holy Spirit, because He had to be born without the stain of sin that we all get born with.

因此，祂既是完全的神，也是完全的人，同时又是完全无罪的上帝。

And so while He's fully God, while He's fully man, He's also fully God free of sin.

所以事情必须如此发生。

And so it had to be the way it was.

上帝知道，唯一的方式就是通过童贞女的身体降临。

And God knew, He knew that the only way would be if He came through the body of a virgin woman.

祂一生都保持着无罪之身。

And He stayed sinless throughout His whole life.

这简直令人难以置信，因为祂经历了我们所有的试探。

And it's absolutely insane because He had every temptation we did.

祂有人类的欲望，祂的本性是完全的人。

He had human desires, his nature was fully human.

祂的感受与我们相同，祂的感受与我们相同，然而祂从未，从未犯罪。

He felt like we did, he felt like we did, and he, yet without sin, he never, never sinned.

这简直不可思议。

It's absolutely insane.

你们知道这个故事里我最爱什么吗？

You know what I love too about this story?

虽然前面可能提过——想想马利亚，我特别感动的是，你说她是圣洁的什么的，但我最爱的是神用了一个贫穷小镇的普通女孩，约瑟也是个贫穷小镇的普通男人。

I think I said this earlier, but you think about Mary, how I just love, because you said she was holy or whatever, but I just love that he used just an average girl from a poor town, Joseph, an average guy from a poor town.

他们只是普通人。

They were just average people.

而她说：『怎会是我呢？』

And she says, How could this be, me?

我是谁？

Who am I?

我们许多人在生活中都有这样的疑问。

And so many of us do that in our own lives.

我是谁？

Who am I?

比如，上帝怎么会用我这样的人？

Like, how could God use me?

这完美诠释了上帝能在你生命中成就的事。

And so it's a great description of what God can do in your life.

虽然这个描述不尽完美——他能够接纳我们，我们总觉得自己太平凡、太微不足道而不配被神使用，但事实并非如此。

This isn't a perfect description, how he can take, we think we'll never be used by God, that we're too average, that we're too this, but no.

想想马利亚和约瑟的故事，我希望它能给你希望——社会总告诉我们必须成为某种人，必须富有、必须优秀、必须满足种种标准。

Look, you think of the story of Mary and Joseph, and I hope it gives you hope of society has told us we have to be this, we have to be rich, we have to be good, we have to be all these things.

不，真正重要的在于此。

No, it's all about this.

关键在于一颗心，一颗追随上帝的心。

It's all about a heart, a heart after God.

太棒了，太棒了。

So good, so good.

我能补充一点吗？玛丽身上的恩典看起来不像世俗的恩典，而是上帝的恩典。

Can I add to that in saying that the favor on Mary's life doesn't look like God's favor just does not look like the world's favor?

我想快速说一句，灵性上的成功远比世俗的成功重要。如果我有一年一事无成，没赚钱也没成就，但却比以往任何时候都更亲近耶稣，最了解他的故事。

And I just wanna say something really quick that spiritual success is so much more important than like worldly If financial I had a year doing absolutely nothing, I made no money, I had no accomplishments, but I became the closest to Jesus I ever I learned the most about his story.

我在灵性上成长最多。

I grew spiritually the most.

那是我一生中最成功的一年。

That is the most successful year of my entire life.

你知道吗？

And you know what?

当你说这些时，这正是发生在我们身上的事。

As you're saying that, that's exactly what happened to us.

是的。

Yeah.

我们一无所有。

We had nothing.

我们挣扎得如此艰难，但我们有耶稣。

We were struggling so hard, but we had Jesus.

在我们感到生活基础被抽走的挣扎时期，正是我们与耶稣最亲近的时刻。

The time we were struggling where we felt like the rug got taken underneath us was the time where we were like this with Jesus.

祂拥有你并支撑着你。

He's got you and he sustains you.

当你拥有耶稣时，这就是你所需的一切。

When you have Jesus, it's all you need.

祂会为你照料好其他所有事情。

He will take care of everything else for you.

这真是太美好了。

It's so good.

这并不像世人所说的那样，马利亚所领受的恩典，除了耶稣之外，可能是你生命中能得到的最高恩典。

And it doesn't look like what the world says it should Mary look received probably the highest, other than Jesus, the greatest favor you could ever receive on your life.

她孕育、抚养、怀胎并生养了世界的救主。

She gave birth and raised, carried gave birth and then raised the savior of the world.

这才叫真正的恩典。

Talk about favor.

当时没有人能认出这份恩典。

And nobody would have ever recognized the favor.

根本无人知晓。

Nobody ever knew.

直到三十三年后，三十年后，人们才知晓她生命中的这份恩典。

Nobody would ever even know about the favor on her life until thirty three years later, thirty years later.

你明白我的意思吗？

You know what I mean?

所以恩典并不意味着你要站在舞台上或镜头前，赚很多钱。

So favor does not mean that you're put on a stage or in front of cameras and like made a lot of money.

恩典，上帝的恩典就是与众不同。

Favor, the favor of God is just different.

在上帝眼中，祂所珍视的事物与我们重视的不同。

In the sight of God, He values things that are different than what we value.

灵性上的成功是你能获得的最重要的东西。

Spiritual success is the most important thing that you can gain and obtain.

与耶稣的亲近和亲密关系是我对成功的定义。

Closeness and intimacy with Jesus is my definition of success.

我今天过得好吗，完成了许多事吗？

Did I have a good, did I accomplish a lot today?

我不知道。

I don't know.

我感觉与耶稣有多亲近？

How close did I feel to Jesus?

我与祂交谈了多少？

How much I talked to Him?

我与耶稣在团契中的亲近程度如何？

How close in fellowship was I to Jesus?

这也是信心。

It's confidence too.

我们总是在世间寻求信心，结果却让我们感到空虚，如同行尸走肉。

We are always looking for confidence in the world and it leaves us dead, it leaves us empty.

你看到人们拥有一切，但内心却并不快乐。

You you see people and they have all the things, but they don't feel good inside.

当你拥有耶稣，当你与耶稣立约同行，你便稳如磐石——这才是真正信心的源泉。

When you have Jesus, when you are in covenant with Jesus, when you are walking with Jesus, that's when you stand anchored, that's when you have, like that's what real confidence comes from.

太多人会说：我缺乏信心。

And so many people say that, well I'm lacking confidence.

当你与耶稣同行时，你将找到每一分自信。

You will find every ounce of confidence when you are walking with Jesus.

当你决定勇敢来到宝座前时。

When you make the decision to come boldly to the throne.

谦卑降临我们身边的耶稣，却要我们勇敢地走向宝座，勇敢地向祂祈求，敞开心扉说：我需要你，我要将全部的自己交托给你。

Jesus who comes humbly to us, asks us to go boldly to the throne, go boldly to the throne and ask Him and open your heart up and say, I want you, I want you to have all of me.

我愿与你一同放下生命。

I wanna lay my life down with you.

你是世间最伟大的礼物。

You are the greatest gift of all.

这种让你充满信心、在安全与平安中扎根的方式，即便在最孤独的夜晚，也会让你震撼不已。

And the way you will have confidence and be anchored in your safety and your peace, even on your loneliest nights, it is going to blow your mind.

它会让你震撼不已。

It's going to blow your mind.

你会不禁自问：我过去的一生都在做什么？

You're going to be like, what was I doing my whole life?

我怎能那样度过一生？

How could I live like that my whole life?

你明白吗？

You know?

我四处游荡。

I was wandering around.

我就像两只没戴帽子的鸡。

I was two chickens without their hats.

我那时在做什么？

What was I doing?

就像玛丽亚·凯莉唱的那样：我一无所知，我愚蠢又糊涂，满口谎言

You know when it's like Mariah Carey, she goes, I didn't know nothing, I was stupid, I was foolish, I was lying

那正是我们认清自我前的状态。

That to was us before I got to myself.

真的，什么都不知道。

Literally, didn't know nothing.

我愚蠢又糊涂。

I was stupid, I was foolish.

还对玛泽尔撒谎。

Was lying to Mazel.

那就是没有耶稣的我们。

That's Us Without Jesus.

那是我们2012年的主题曲。

That's our theme song in 2012.

是啊，2012年我的歌是'哦耶，上帝知道是谁'。

Yeah, no, mine in 2012 was, Oh yeah, God knows who it was.

这是首经典歌曲。

It a classic song.

可能是

Was probably

只是为什么

just Why

我为什么要告诉你们这些？

do I tell you guys that?

继续说吧。

Go ahead.

我还想说一件事。

I want to say one more thing.

太初有道，道与神同在，道就是神？

In the beginning was the Lord and the Lord was God and the Lord was God?

是的。

Yes.

不，因为你看，我知道我们总是关注礼物赠送，虽然这不是全部，是的，我们不必赠送礼物，但这是一个给予的时刻，因为给予的精神是最伟大、最终极的给予者。

No, because so many, you know, I know we are always focused on gift giving, and while that isn't everything, yes, we we don't have to give gifts, but it is a time of giving, because the spirit of giving was the biggest, ultimate giver ever.

他以生命向我们施予和服务。

He made his life giving to us and serving to us.

所以我只想鼓励大家，无论你心中对家人或所爱之人怀有何种怨恨，无论是什么，试着记住他是谁，记住他赐予我们的恩典、怜悯与爱——在我们本不配得之时，以及他如何日复一日地服侍我们。

And so I just wanna encourage you guys to, whatever you're holding, whatever resentment you're holding to a family member or a loved one, whatever it is, just try to remember who he was and the grace and compassion and love that he gave to us when we didn't deserve it and how he just served us day in and day out.

记住，我知道这很难，但这个假期让我们试着效仿他。

And remember that I know it's hard, but let's try to be like that this holiday season.

让我们拆掉心墙，软化心灵，敞开心扉，学会宽恕、去爱、去给予。

Let's put down the walls, let's soften our hearts, let's open it and just learn to forgive and love and be giving.

这份礼物不必是物质馈赠，最伟大的礼物是成为对他人充满爱与奉献的人。

It doesn't have to be with gifts, but the greatest gift of all is being a loving, giving person to another person.

还有一点，我们生命中最大的礼物是传播福音，分享福音。

And also, one more thing, the greatest gift of our lives is sharing the gospel, sharing it.

你无法想象自己能如何改变并影响他人的生命。

You don't understand how much you can change and impact someone's life.

这本身就是一份礼物。

That is a gift in itself.

所以勇敢地将这份礼物赠予他人吧——无论是为他人祈祷，征得同意后为其祷告，或是私下代祷；像安吉拉前些天在Drybar那样，以温柔的方式引领他人获得救赎。

So be bold and give that gift to someone, whether it's praying for someone, asking someone if you could pray for them, even praying in private, just coming to them in a nice way and doing what Angela did at Drybar the other day and bringing someone to salvation, you know, things like that.

这才是真正最伟大的礼物。

That is truly the greatest gift.

即便他们现在不接受，你已种下了一颗种子。

And even if they don't receive it, it's a seed that you have planted.

这就是

That's the

关于传福音这件事。

thing about evangelizing.

这真的让人紧张不已。

It is so nerve wracking.

我能告诉你们一件我终于开始克服的事情吗？

Can I just tell you one thing that I have finally, I'm just starting to overcome?

首先，我不希望你们觉得向人传讲耶稣时必须精通所有神学知识。

So first, I don't want you guys to think when you go tell people about Jesus that you have to know all this theology.

懂神学固然好，我也希望你们学习神学。

It's good and I want you to know theology.

我希望你们阅读圣经。

I want you to read the Bible.

我希望你们研读。

I want you to study.

但正如你们的经历所示，我们靠着羔羊的血和自己见证的话语得胜。

However, like your story, we overcome by the blood of the lamb and the word of our testimony.

你的故事就足够了。

Your story is enough.

如果你只知道简单的福音信息——耶稣为何而来、为何而死，结合你的个人见证，这就足够了。

If you know nothing else except the simple gospel, why Jesus came and why he died, that's enough involved with your story, with your story.

你只需要告诉人们：这是耶稣在我生命中所做的事。

All you have to do is tell people, this is what Jesus did in my life.

你根本不知道人们有多饥渴

You have no idea how hungry people

呢。

are.

我们是不是总说尿尿？

Do we always say pee pee?

看到有人留言说他们太幼稚了。

Know someone left a comment being like, they're so immature.

我知道有人说：你们还需要好好管教。

I know someone said, you have a lot of grooming to do.

我说，好吧，随便吧。

I said, yeah, okay, whatever.

告诉我点新鲜事。

Tell me something I don't know.

哔哔。

Beep, beep.

哔哔。

Beep, beep.

你知道吗

And you know

知道吗？我有时候会这样：

what I'll do sometimes?

前几天在健身房，我就想——我们总是害怕向人传福音，可他们可能正渴望有人能和他们聊聊。

I'm at the gym the other day and I like, because we're so nervous to give people the gospel when they probably want so badly for someone to talk to them.

想象一下艾丽和松鼠说话时的样子，如果有人上前给她传福音，她该有多开心啊。

Probably want Imagine so like Ari, when she was talking to the squirrels, how badly if someone came up to her and gave her the gospel, it'd be wraps.

她本可以在不到三十秒内获得救赎。

She would have been led to salvation in less than thirty seconds.

你根本不知道人们正在经历什么。

You have no idea what people are going through.

你真的不知道。

You really don't.

大约两个月前我去健身房时，我正戴着耳机在跑步机上听音乐，突然听到上帝对我说：摘下耳机，去和她说话。

I go to the gym like two months ago, and I just, I literally, I'm listening to music, I'm on the treadmill and I hear God being like, take off your headphones, go talk to her.

我想认识她，去向她传讲我的事。

I wanna know her, go tell her about me.

我当时心想：我在听呢，

And I'm like, I'm listening,

但实际是：不，我不想这么做。

like, no, I don't wanna do it.

我就想：随便吧。

I'm like, whatever.

我走过去时心跳加速，紧张得要命。

I go over my heart's pounding, I'm freaking out.

他给了我一点提示。

He gives me a little bit of a word.

我就说，嗨，我不太清楚什么什么之类的。

I'm like, hi, I don't know about blah, blah, blah, whatever.

然后我语速飞快地说着话。

And then I'm talking so fast.

我看到这个女孩想和我说话。

I see this girl wants to talk to me.

她想要进行一次对话。

She wants to have a conversation.

我说，好吧，总之，他非常爱你

I go, yeah, anyways, and he loves you so

非常感谢你。

much and thank you.

我边说边往后退。

And I'm like backing up while I'm talking.

她却说，别走。

And she's like, No, don't go.

就是，别走。

Like, don't go.

然后我说，好吧，谢谢，再见。

And I'm like, Okay, thanks, bye.

我甚至没给她

Like, I didn't even give her

回应的机会。

a chance to respond.

总之，我想说的是，当我们向人们讲述耶稣时，没什么好紧张的。

Then, so anyways, my point in saying that is like, we have nothing to be nervous about when we tell people about Jesus.

别再表现得像个怪胎，放轻松点——我在自言自语。

Let's stop being weirdos and just relax, Talking to myself.

真的吗？

Really?

每个人都是如此，都需要那个。

Everyone is so, needs that.

他们需要希望。

They need hope.

你明白我们都在经历一些事情吗？

You understand we are all going through something?

我们都有自己的十字架要背负。

We all have a cross to bear.

是啊。

Yeah.

当你付出爱时，那是你能给予的最伟大的礼物。

And when you put out love, it's the greatest gift you can give.

我只希望，就像你说的，嗯，姐妹

I only wish, like you said, well, Sister

安做到了。

Ann did.

安修女，她亲手种下了那颗种子。

Sister Ann, she planted planted that that seed.

是的，只需全心去爱。

Yeah, just give in love.

是的，我迫切想分享一段话，因为它深深触动我的心——你们现在应该能看出我们深爱耶稣。

Yeah, I really quickly wanna read something because I have it so heavy on my heart that you guys can tell by now we love Jesus.

我们热爱福音，并非因在教会长大，也非被迫信仰，而是因我们遇见了真实的耶稣。

We love the gospel, not because we grew up in church, not because anybody forced us to believe this, but because we met the real Jesus.

那位悬置星辰、被钉十架、今日仍活着并拯救我们生命的耶稣。

The same Jesus that hung the stars, was nailed to a cross, lives today and he saved our lives.

别无他神，唯有祂。

Nobody else, no other God.

圣经上说：引到永生，那门是窄的，找着的人也少。

And scripture says that narrow is the way, few will find it.

窄门就是路，仅此一条，仅此一门。

Narrow is the way, meaning one, narrow one.

唯有耶稣。

It's just Jesus.

别无选择。

There is no other option.

所以如果你今天坐在这里，仍对其他事物、其他神明、其他书籍、其他宗教、其他新时代思潮或其他修行方式持开放态度，我要告诉你：窄门才是正道，鲜有人能找到它，因为通往天堂的路如此狭窄，而通往地狱的路却如此宽广。

And so if you're sitting here today and you are either someone who's still open minded to other things, other gods, other books, other religions, other new age, other practices, I'm here to tell you that narrow is the way and few will find it because the way to heaven is so narrow and the way to hell is so broad.

这很重要，因为除了耶稣以外，你关注的任何事物都只是干扰。

It's massive because anything that you're looking at other than Jesus is just a distraction.

我能告诉你一些事吗？

Can I please tell you something?

生活中有一些看似无害、无足轻重的事情。

That there are things in life that seem harmless, that seem like not a big deal.

它们以光明的外包装出现。

They come packaged as light.

它们以美好的形式出现。

They come as a good thing.

但任何事物，哪怕只是轻微地、略微地让你的注意力离开耶稣，让你的信仰偏离耶稣，让你的依赖脱离耶稣，都是一种干扰，是欺骗，最终是邪恶的。

But anything that even remotely, even slightly takes your focus off of Jesus, takes your belief off of Jesus, takes your reliance off of Jesus is a distraction, it's deception, and it is ultimately evil.

并非因为事物本身固有邪恶，而是因为任何凌驾于耶稣之上、优先于耶稣的事物都是邪恶的，因为它正在分散你的注意力。

Not because it's inherently evil, the thing, but because anything that takes place over Jesus, that takes precedent over Jesus is evil because it's distracting you.

它正将你从唯一的源头引开。

It's taking you away from the only source.

唯一真正有能力治愈你、改变你或拯救你的存在。

The only thing that has actual power to heal you, to transform you or to save you.

以赛亚书43章说：'耶和华说，你们是我的见证，以色列啊，就是我所拣选的。'

And Isaiah 43 says, But you are my witnesses, O Israel, says the Lord.

你是我的仆人。

You are my servant.

你被选中来认识我。

You have been chosen to know me.

信靠我，并明白唯独我是神。

Believe in me and understand that I alone am God.

除我以外再无他神。

There is no other God.

过去没有，将来也不会有。

There never has been and there never will be.

我，唯有我，是耶和华，除我以外没有救主。

I, yes, I am the Lord and there is no other savior.

从亘古到永远，我是神。

From eternity to eternity, I am God.

无人能从我手中夺走任何人。

No one can snatch anyone out of my hand.

无人能废除我所成就的事。

No one can undo what I have done.

别无选择。

There is no other option.

耶稣就是道路、真理和生命。

Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life.

若不藉着他，没有人能到父那里去。

Nobody gets to the father except through him.

耶稣降生就是为了受死。

Jesus was born to die.

上帝在创世之初就知道他将要做的事。

God knew in the beginning of time what he was gonna have to do.

他知道我们需要一位救主。

He knew that we would need a savior.

他知道我们需要弥赛亚，需要有人为我们的罪代赎。

He knew that we would need a Messiah and somebody to atone for our sins.

所以无论你信什么，若不在基督里，我以姐妹或兄弟的身份请求你——

So whatever you're believing that's not in Jesus, I'm asking you from sister to sister or brother.

我活出了这个真理。

I live this.

这绝非偶然。

This is not by accident.

我将生命献给耶稣，他赐予我新生。

I gave my life to Jesus and he gave me a new life.

我在耶稣里找到了生命。

I found life in Jesus.

我要问你，无论还有什么在争夺你的注意力，那都是在争夺你的敬拜，企图获取你的依赖，那些都是垃圾。

And I'm asking you, whatever else is vying for your attention, that's a vying for your worship, that's reaching for your reliance, it is garbage.

那些都是垃圾，都是死物。

It's garbage and it's dead.

我劝你彻底摆脱它们。

And I'm asking you to get rid of it.

我要你对此采取极端态度。

And I want you to be extreme with it.

我的意思是，抛弃你拥有的一切，丢弃任何东西，公开否认并弃绝，忏悔，弃绝对任何其他神明、任何其他宗教、任何其他力量的信仰。

And I mean, throw out anything that you have, throw out anything, denounce and renounce and repent, renounce any other belief in any other God, in any other religion, in any other force.

我最近听到有人说他们在汲取能量，而我心想，你怎能这样不尊重那位为你而来并为你牺牲的主，说祂不真实。

I heard someone recently say that they're harnessing energy from the And I'm like, you're not about to disrespect my man who came and died for you by saying, it's not real.

这不是真实的。我们被欺骗得太深了。

It's not We've been so deceived.

因此神在《以赛亚书》55章中说，这被称为主救恩的邀请。

And so God says in Isaiah 55, this is called the invitation to the Lord's salvation.

有人口渴吗？

Is anyone thirsty?

来喝吧，即使你身无分文。

这整段内容我们其实是在传福音——我们都是按上帝形象所造。

We basically gave you the gospel in this whole episode that we were made in the image of God.

上帝创造人类是为了与我们建立完美的关系。

God created humanity to be in perfect relationship with him.

人类犯罪堕落，我们与上帝的关系破裂了。

Man sinned, man fell, our relationship to God broke.

于是上帝在接下来的数千年里不断追寻我们，差遣使者、先知和鼓励我们的人，让我们知道救主终将降临。

And God would spend the next however many thousands of years pursuing us, sending us people, sending us prophets, sending us people to encourage us and to let us know that our savior is coming eventually.

就像我们今天说的，上帝对人类爱到心痛难忍。

And then like we said today, God got so lovesick for humanity that he couldn't take it anymore.

他渴望我们，亲自来寻找我们，差遣他的儿子耶稣降生在尘世，与我们同住同行，行神迹奇事，最终被钉在十字架上，为我们的罪孽受死。

He wanted us, he was coming for us and he sent his son Jesus to come be born in the dirt and dwell among us and walk with us and perform miracles and signs and wonders and to ultimately be put on a cross, to be nailed to a tree and crucified for the forgiveness of our sins.

整整三天，黑暗笼罩大地，整个天堂都屏息以待。

And for three days, darkness rolled and reigned over the whole earth and all of heaven held its breath.

第三天，被埋葬的身体开始呼吸，大地再也无法禁锢耶稣。

And then on the third day, a buried body began to breathe and the ground could no longer hold Jesus.

我们被钉十字架的救主，虽如罪犯般被埋葬，却已复活得荣耀。

And our crucified savior who was buried like a criminal was raised to glory.
