2024-04-05 周五 基督顶替一切

经文:万军之耶和华说,当那日钉在坚固处的钉子必被挪去,砍断坠落;挂在其上的重担必被剪断;因为这是耶和华说的。(赛二二25,另译)

基督顶替一切

这里不是指以利亚敬,乃是指被以利亚敬所顶替的舍伯那。在神的审判里,祂开除、解雇了一切人事物,包括列国的王、家宰舍伯那、和神家中一切的杯子、瓶罐,而以基督为顶替。神在十字架上把每一个人都解雇了,现今正以基督顶替每一个人。因基督使祂自己与我们联合,与我们联结,所以当祂死在十字架上时,我们就与祂同死,且被了结。

如今,我们因着在基督里的信,与基督有生机的联结;在这联结中,祂活在我们里面,与我们同活,借着我们并经过我们而活,因而顶替了我们。不仅如此,神已用基督顶替祂旧约经纶中的一切事物。因此,在神的经纶里,包罗万有的基督这以马内利顶替了一切,并且成为一切。

以利亚敬顶替舍伯那,表征基督顶替一切

诗歌《不是字句律法》说到经历基督与一切相对,其中说到顶替基督的东西,如字句的律法、哲学和宗教等。这一切实在都是顶替基督的“舍伯那”,按照以赛亚二十二章,舍伯那被“开除”,而由以利亚敬顶替作王家的管家。

达秘说,舍伯那豫表假基督。他应当被除去,而以基督顶替。基督不应当被我们顶替。我们反而应当被基督顶替,我们众人都是“舍伯那”,应当被真以利亚敬所顶替。在神的经纶里,基督,我们的以利亚敬,应当顶替每一件事,每一个人。我们不应当让任何事或任何人,包括我们自己,顶替基督。

Christ Replacing Everything – Isa. 22:25

This verse is referring not to Eliakim (Christ) but to Shebna who was replaced by Eliakim. In his judgment God discharged, or “fired,” everyone and everything, including the kings of the nations, Shebna the steward, and all the bowls and jars in God’s house and replaced them all with Christ. God discharged everyone on the cross, and he is replacing everyone with Christ. Because Christ joined himself to us, uniting himself with us, when he died on the cross, we died with him and were terminated.

Now, in our organic union with Christ through our faith in him, he replaces us by living in us, with us, by us and through us. Furthermore, God has replaced everything in his Old Testament economy with Christ. Thus, the all-inclusive Christ as Immanuel replaces everything and becomes everything in God’s economy.

Eliaskim Replacing Shebnas Signifying Christ Replacing Everything

There is a hymn concerning the experience of Christ versus all things. It speaks of the things that replace Christ, such as the law of letters, philosophy and religion. All these things are really “Shebnas” which replace Christ. According to Isaiah 22, Shebna was “fired” and replaced by Eliakim as the steward over the king’s house.

Darby said that Shebna typifies a false Christ. He should be removed and replaced by Christ. Christ should not be replaced by us. Instead, we should be replaced by Christ. All of us are “Shebnas” who should be removed and replaced by the real Eliakim. Christ, our Eliakim, should replace everything and everyone in God’s economy. We should not allow anything or anyone, including ourselves, to replace Christ.
