罗⻢书 8:19 受造之物正热切等候上帝众子的显现，(当代译本)
Romans 8:19 For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. (NKJV)
耶稣在地上完成了祂的使命。为了我们的缘 故，祂被钉在⼗字架上，被埋葬，然后神叫 祂从死⾥复活。如今，祂坐在神的右边。祂 的使命完成了。那么，现在谁要在地上彰显 神的荣耀呢？是祂的⼉⼥。我们是从神⽽⽣的——因此，我们是祂的⼉⼥。弟兄姐妹，我们不是等待神降临来向世⼈彰显祂的荣耀。我们不应当袖⼿旁观，⼀边等待耶 稣采取⾏动，⼀边视⾃⼰软弱⽆助。不—— 耶稣正在等待我们来开启我们的⼝。所以⼀切被造的都热切地盼望着神的荣耀从祂的⼉⼥们 (我们) 显⽰出来。 当我们真正明⽩我们在基督⾥的⾝份——我们是神的⼉⼥，是新造的品种——那时，祂的荣耀必藉着过我们显明在世⼈⾯前。阿们！
Jesus has completed His work on earth. For our sake, He was nailed to the cross, buried, and then raised from the dead by God. Today, He is seated at the right hand of the Father in heaven. His work is finished. So, who will now reveal God’s glory on the earth? It is His children. We are born of God—therefore, we are His children. Brothers and sisters, we are not waiting for God to come down and reveal His glory to the world. We are not meant to sit back, waiting for Jesus to act while we see ourselves as weak and helpless. No— Jesus is waiting for us to act. All of creation is eagerly waiting for the revealing of God’s glory through His children—and that is us. When we truly understand who we are in Christ—that we are God’s children, a new creation—then His glory will begin to shine through us. Amen!
