歌罗西书 3:3 因为你们已经死了,你们的⽣命与基督 ⼀同藏在神⾥⾯。(现代标点和合本)
Colossians 3:3 For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. (NKJV)
罗⻢书 6:6 说你的旧⼈已经死了,是已经与基督同钉⼗字架。你的“旧⼈”是什么? 它是你被诅咒的旧我,是在神眼中充满罪恶的旧我,注定要拆毁的旧我。你的旧⼈已经与基督同钉⼗字架。⼀旦你接受基督 为你的救主,你就是⼀个新造的⼈。旧事已过,都变成新的了(哥林多后书 5:17)。我们在基督⾥都的新造的⼈,圣经说你的⽣命是与基督⼀同藏在神⾥⾯。这意表什 么呢?这意味着你所做的每⼀件事,⽆论是⼯作、⽣意、养育⼦⼥等事上,都不再 是关于你或你的努⼒。你的⽣命是与基督 ⼀同藏在神⾥⾯。当你取得成功时,不是靠你⾃⼰;当你的孩⼦表现优异时,也不是因着你们⾃⼰的功劳。当你的事业顺利时,不是为了向世⼈显⽰你是多么成功的⽣意⼈,或你是多 么聪明,⽽是数算神对你的美好与慈爱。祂⼀直是你慈爱的⽗。阿们!
Romans 6:6 says that your old man has been crucified with Christ. What is your “old man”? It is your old self which is cursed, your old self which is full of sin in God’s sight, your old self which is doomed for destruction. Your old man has been crucified with Christ. Once you received Christ as your Saviour, you are a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come (2 Corinthians 5:17). We are all new creations in Christ, and the bible says that now your life is hidden with Christ in God. What does it mean for your life to be hidden with Christ in God? It means that in everything that you do, whether it is in your work, business, parenting etc, it is no longer about you or your own efforts. Your life is hidden in Christ. When you succeed, it is not you who did it. When your child excels, it is not because you are a good parent. Your life is hidden in Christ. It is the Lord who has been such a good Father to you. When your business does well, it is not to tell the world what a good businessman you are or how smart you are, but it is to tell the world how good God has been to you. Amen!
