2023-11-16 周四 主不在十字架上,乃在宝座上

经文:耶稣进前来,对他们说,天上地上所有的权柄,都赐给我了。(太二十八18,另译)

只要有人求告耶稣说,‘主耶稣,我是一个罪人,我悔改了,我接受你作我的救主。’圣灵就要进到他里面。或许你还不觉得,这是一件不得了的事;因为你不知道圣灵进到你里面要作什么。请记得,这不只是给你赦罪的平安,不只是神的生命进到你里面,更是主自己进到你里面。这是怎样的一位主呢?我们都知道,祂是钉十字架为我们受死的主。然而,在我们接受祂作救主,祂在圣灵里进到我们里面时,祂不是在十字架上的主,乃是在宝座上的主。我们所接受的是钉过十字架的主,但祂已经不在十字架上,乃是在宝座上。

虽然主耶稣钉过十字架,但现今祂已不在十字架上。祂经过了坟墓,之后复活,升到高天之上。神的右手把祂高举,把祂摆在宝座上,并将所有的权柄都给了祂,就是天上地上所有的权柄都给了祂;神立祂为主为王,祂是在宝座上的一位主。我们必须看见这一位耶稣,不只是钉十字架的耶稣,祂如今乃是在宝座上。我们接受祂时,祂不是从十字架进到我们里面,乃是从宝座上进到我们里面。而且祂不只是从宝座进到我们里面,更是带着宝座进到我们里面。

若有人肯接受这一位圣灵,肯得着祂,祂就要进到那人里面,给他赦罪的平安,给他永远的生命,并且把主耶稣带到他里面。到这个时候,在人里面的这一位耶稣是宝座上的耶稣,是受高举的耶稣,是立为主为基督的耶稣。祂带到人里面的,实在说,不是一个十字架,乃是一个宝座。那个宝座是宝座上的主,带着祂的宝座进到人里头;不只作人的生命,还要作人的权柄。祂不仅是人的救主,更是一个国度;祂是神的国,是神的权柄,要在人里头设立祂的宝座;祂乃是在宝座上,在人里面为王。请我们记得,这就是基督徒。

基督徒里头的故事,不只是生命平安的故事,更是个国度的故事,是宝座的故事,是权柄的故事,是万王之王的故事。这一位不只是个卑微的耶稣,更是一位得着荣耀的基督;不仅是一位被人弃绝的耶稣,更是一位被神高举的基督,天上地上所有的权柄都赐给祂了。我们这个人外面虽然小,但我们里面真是大,我们里面乃是一个国。我们里面有一个国,有一个宝座,有一位万王之王,为世上君王元首的基督就在我们里面。这是我们里头的故事。我们要看见,神的国、神的宝座、神的君王、万王之王,都在我们里面。

The Lord Is No Longer on the Cross, But on the Throne – Matt. 28:18

As long as one calls upon the name of Lord Jesus and says, “Lord Jesus, I am a sinner, I repent and receive you as my Savior”. The Holy Spirit will enter into him immediately. Maybe you still don’t think this is a big deal since you have no idea what the Holy Spirit will do when he enters into you. Please remember, this is not just the peace from the forgiveness of sins, not just the life of God entering into you, but also the Lord himself entering into you. What kind of Lord he is? We all know that he is the Lord who was crucified and died for us. However, when we receive him as our Savior and enter into us in the Holy Spirit, he is no longer the Lord on the cross, but the Lord on the throne. What we receive is the Lord who was crucified, but he is not on the cross but on the throne.

Although the Lord Jesus was crucified, he is no longer on the cross. He went through the tomb, was resurrected and ascended to heaven. God’s right hand exalted him to enthroned him and gave him all authority, that is, all authority in heaven and on earth. God made him both Lord and king, and he is the Lord on the throne. We must see that this Jesus is not just the crucified Jesus, but he is now on the throne. When we receive him, he does not come into us from the cross but from the throne. Moreover, he not only enters into us from the throne, but also enters into us with the throne.

If one is willing to receive this Holy Spirit and have him, he will enter into that man, give him the peace of forgiveness of sins, give him eternal life and bring the Lord Jesus into him. At this time, Jesus within this man is Jesus on the throne, the exalted Jesus, and Jesus being made as Lord and Christ. Frankly, what he has brought into man is not a cross but a throne. That throne is the Lord on the throne, bringing his throne into man; not only to be man’s life, but also to be man’s authority. He is not only man’s Savior, but also a kingdom. He is God’s kingdom and God’s authority, and he will establish his throne within man, he is king on the throne and within man. Please remember that this is what Christians are.

Therefore, the story within Christians is not only the story of life and peace, but also the story of the kingdom, the story of the throne, the story of authority and the story of the King of kings. This incarnated one is not only a humble Jesus, but also a glorified Christ; not only Jesus forsaken by man, but also Christ exalted by God, to whom all authority in heaven and on earth is given. Although we are small in size outwardly, yet we are really big inwardly. We have a kingdom inside of us, there is a throne and a King of kings. Christ, who is the head of the kings of the world, is within us, this is our story. We must see that the kingdom of God, the throne of God, the King of God and the King of kings are all within us.
