Assurance From the Resurrection
来自复活的保证
The resurrection of Christ is at the heart of the good news about Christ. If Jesus had not been raised, Christianity would not exist, and we would have no hope (1 Corinthians 15:13-19). But Jesus did come out of the tomb, and that makes all the difference in the world.
基督的复活是关于基督的好消息的核心。如果耶稣没有复活，基督教就不会存在，我们就没有希望（哥林多前书15：13-19）。但耶稣确实从坟墓里出来了，这使得世界上的一切都变得不同。
Jesus Predicted His Death and Resurrection
耶稣预言了他的死亡和复活
A group of scribes and Pharisees came to Jesus one day and said to him, “Teacher, we want to see a miraculous sign from you” (Matthew 12:38). Jesus replied, “A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a miraculous sign! But none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be in the heart of the earth” (Matthew 12:39-40).
有一天，一群文士和法利赛人来到耶稣面前，对他说："老师，我们想看你的神迹"（太12:38）。耶稣回答说："邪恶淫乱的世代，要看神迹。但除了先知约拿的神迹之外，没有人可以得到它。因为约拿在大鱼肚子里三天三夜，人子也要在地心。"（马太福音12：39-40）。
By this time, Jesus had already performed at least ten miracles (Matthew 8 through 12). He had just healed a demon-possessed man, and the Pharisees had accused him of driving out demons by the power of Beelzebub, the prince of demons (Matthew 12:9-24). Jesus perceived their hypocrisy and refused to accommodate them. The only sign they would get from him was the sign of the prophet Jonah. After Jonah had been in the belly of a fish three days and nights, the fish spit him out on the beach and gave him new life (Jonah 2:10). Likewise, Jesus would be in the belly of the earth three days and nights before being raised from death. This was the first time Jesus predicted his death and resurrection. But it was not the last.
这时，耶稣已经行了至少十个神迹（马太福音第8章至第12章）。他刚刚治愈了一个被鬼附身的人，法利赛人指责他靠鬼王别西卜的力量赶鬼（马太福音12：9-24）。耶稣察觉到他们的虚伪，拒绝迎合他们。他们从他那里得到的唯一迹象是先知约拿的迹象。约拿在鱼肚子里呆了三天三夜后，鱼把他吐在沙滩上，给了他新的生命（约拿书2：10）。同样，耶稣在从死里复活之前也会在地腹中呆上三天三夜。这是耶稣第一次预言他的死亡和复活。但这并不是最后一次。
Three More Predictions
还有三个预测
At Caesarea Philippi, Jesus began explaining to his apostles that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things at the hand of the elders, chief priests, and teachers of the law, and that he must be killed, and on the third day be raised to life." (Matthew 16:21). Peter rebuked Jesus saying, “Never, Lord! This will never happen to you!” (Matthew 16:22). Jesus replied, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men” (Matthew 16:23). Human thinking is often contrary to God's thinking. The death and resurrection of Jesus had been God's plan from eternity.
在凯撒利亚腓立比，耶稣开始向他的使徒们解释，他必须去耶路撒冷，在长老、祭司长和律法师的手下受许多苦，他必须被杀，第三天就能复活"。(马太福音16:21)。彼得责备耶稣说："主啊，千万不要！这事绝不会发生在你身上！这事绝不会发生在你身上！" (马太福音16:22)。耶稣回答说："撒旦，到我后面去！你是我的绊脚石。你是我的绊脚石，你心里想的不是神的事，而是人的事"（马太福音16:23）。人的思维往往与神的思维相反。耶稣的死亡和复活是上帝从亘古以来的计划。
Later, as Jesus and his apostles were passing through Galilee, Jesus said to them again, “The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into the hands of men. They will kill him, and after three days, he will rise” (Mark 9:31). The apostles could not understand what Jesus was saying, but they were afraid to ask for more information.
后来，当耶稣和他的使徒们经过加利利时，耶稣再次对他们说："人子要被卖在人手里。他们要杀他，三天之后，他要复活"（马可福音9:31）。使徒们不明白耶稣在说什么，但他们不敢问更多的信息。
Finally, as Jesus and his followers were walking up the road toward Jerusalem, he gave them a third warning: “We are going to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and teachers of the law. They will condemn him to death and will hand him over to the Gentiles, who will mock him and spit on him, flog him, and kill him. Three days later, he will rise” (Mark 10:33-34).
最后，当耶稣和他的追随者沿着道路向耶路撒冷走去时，他给了他们第三个警告。"我们要到耶路撒冷去，人子要被卖给祭司长和律法师。他们要定他的死罪，把他交给外邦人，外邦人要讥诮他，吐唾沫，鞭打他，杀了他。三天之后，他要复活"（马可福音10:33-34）。
Four times, Jesus predicted his death and his resurrection. That was God's plan, and Jesus had come to fulfill it.
耶稣四次预言他的死亡和他的复活。这是神的计划，而耶稣是来实现这个计划的。
Resurrection Preaching on the Day of Pentecost
五旬节当天的复活布道
On the day of Pentecost, Peter stood up with the other apostles and spoke to thousands of Jewish people. He said, “Men of Israel, listen to this. Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by miraculous wonders and signs which God did among you through him, as you yourselves know. This man was handed over to you by God's set purpose and foreknowledge; and you, with the help of wicked men, put him to death by nailing him to the cross. But God raised this Jesus to life, and we are all witnesses of the fact. . . . Therefore, let all of Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ” (Acts 2:22-32, 36).
在五旬节那天，彼得与其他使徒一起站起来，对成千上万的犹太人讲话。他说："以色列人，请听我说。拿撒勒人耶稣是神认可的人，神通过他在你们中间所行的神迹奇事，这是你们自己知道的。这个人是上帝按着既定的目的和预知的事交给你们的；你们在恶人的帮助下，把他钉在十字架上，把他处死。但上帝让这位耶稣复活了，我们都是这个事实的见证人。. . . 因此，让所有的以色列人确信这一点。神使你们所钉的这位耶稣，既是主，又是基督"（使徒行传2:22-32，36）。
The resurrection of Jesus was at the heart of Peter's sermon on the day of Pentecost. In response to that sermon, about 3,000 people were baptized into Christ that day (Acts 2:41). And the Lord added to that number daily (Acts 2:47).
耶稣的复活是彼得在五旬节那天讲道的核心。作为对那次布道的回应，那天大约有3000人受洗归入基督（使徒行传2：41）。而且主每天都在增加这个数字（使徒行传2:47）。
Resurrection Preaching at the Gate Called “Beautiful”
在被称为 "美丽 "之门的复活布道
Later, at the temple gate called Beautiful, Peter and John healed a lame man who had been crippled from birth. When people at the temple saw the man walking and leaping and praising God, “they were filled with wonder and amazement” (Acts 3:10), and they came running to see him. Peter said to them, “Men of Israel, . . . the God of our fathers has glorified his servant Jesus. You handed him over to be killed, and you disowned him before Pilate though he had decided to let him go. . . . You killed the author of life, but God raised him up from the dead. We are witnesses of this” (Acts 3:12- 15).
后来，在名为美丽的圣殿门口，彼得和约翰治好了一个从出生就残废的瘸子。当圣殿里的人看到这个人走路、跳跃和赞美上帝时，"他们满心惊奇和诧异"（徒3:10），他们跑过来看他。彼得对他们说："以色列人，......我们祖宗的神已经荣耀了他的仆人耶稣。你们把他交给人杀，在彼拉多面前不认他，虽然他已经决定放他走。. . . 你们杀了生命的创造者，但神使他从死里复活了。我们是这事的见证人"（使徒行传3:12-15）。
Many of the people who heard that resurrection message believed, and the number of men grew to about five thousand (Acts 4:4).
许多听到那复活信息的人都信了，人的数目增加到大约五千人（使徒行传4:4）。
Resurrection Preaching in Every Sermon in Acts
在使徒行传的每一次布道中都有复活的传道
Every sermon in the book of Acts focuses on the resurrection of Christ. The resurrection was at the heart of Peter's sermon to the Roman centurion and his household (Acts 10:39-41). It was at the heart of Paul's sermon in Antioch of Pisidia (Acts 13:27-32). It was at the center of Paul's sermon in Thessalonica (Acts 17:1-3). In Athens, Paul concluded his sermon at the Areopagus (Mars Hill) by saying that God “has set a day when he will judge the world with justice by the man he has appointed. He has given proof of this to all men by raising him from the dead” (Acts 17:31). The resurrection of Jesus is God's proof that Jesus is the Christ who will ultimately judge the world. Jesus is the “one man” God has chosen to sit on the judgment seat at the end of time (Matthew 25:31; Acts 10:39-43).
使徒行传中的每篇布道都集中在基督的复活上。复活是彼得对罗马百夫长及其家人讲道的核心（徒10:39-41）。它是保罗在皮西迪亚的安提阿讲道的核心（徒13：27-32）。它是保罗在帖撒罗尼迦讲道的中心（徒17:1-3）。在雅典，保罗在Areopagus（马尔斯山）的布道结束时说，上帝 "已经定了日子，要用他所指定的人公正地审判世界。他已经让他从死里复活，向众人证明了这一点"（徒17:31）。耶稣的复活是上帝的证明，证明耶稣是最终将审判世界的基督。耶稣是上帝选择的 "一个人"，在末日坐在审判台上（马太福音25：31；使徒行传10：39-43）。
The resurrection of Christ was the focal point of the teaching and preaching of the apostles. The resurrection is mentioned in the New Testament more than 100 times.
基督的复活是使徒们教学和布道的焦点。《新约》中提到复活的次数超过了100次。
The Resurrection Proves That Jesus Is the Son of God.
复活证明耶稣是神的儿子。
In his letter to the Romans, Paul asserts that God promised through his prophets to send his Son “who, as to his human nature, was a descendant of David, and who through the Spirit of holiness was declared with power to be the Son of God by his resurrection from the dead” (Romans 1:1-4).
在给罗马人的信中，保罗断言，上帝通过他的先知应许派他的儿子 "就其人性而言，他是大卫的后裔，并通过圣洁的精神，以其从死里复活的能力宣告他是上帝的儿子"（罗马书1：1-4）。
Paul's sentence is a little complicated, so let's unpack it. Jesus was a descendant of David according to the flesh. David, a prophet of God, predicted the resurrection of Jesus (Psalm 16:10; Acts 2:25-27). Jesus was raised from death by the power of the Spirit, and his resurrection proved that Jesus was, and is, the Son of God.
保罗的句子有点复杂，所以我们来解读一下。按照肉体，耶稣是大卫的后裔。大卫是上帝的先知，他预言了耶稣的复活（诗篇16：10；使徒行传2：25-27）。耶稣靠着圣灵的力量从死里复活，他的复活证明耶稣是，而且是神的儿子。
The Resurrection Assures Us of Our Own Resurrection
复活向我们保证了我们自己的复活
Paul wrote, “Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep” (1 Corinthians 15:20). The term “firstfruits” is used in Leviticus 23:10 with reference to the first sheaf of grain offered to the Lord at the beginning of the barley harvest. This wave offering was presented to God on the day following the Sabbath (the first day of the week) during the Passover festival, the very day Jesus was raised from death as the firstfruits of many resurrections.
保罗写道："基督确实从死里复活了，是沉睡之人的初熟果实"（哥林多前书15:20）。初熟的果子 "一词在《利未记》23:10中使用，指的是大麦收割开始时献给主的第一个谷穗。这个波浪祭是在逾越节期间安息日（一周的第一天）的第二天献给上帝的，也就是耶稣作为许多复活的初熟果实从死里复活的那天。
Jesus was not only the Paschal lamb. He was also the firstfruits of a spiritual harvest. As “the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep,” he was the first of many people who would be resurrected never to die again. That is good news. We, too, will be raised from death. The Greek word that is translated “resurrection” in the New Testament is anástasis which means “to awaken, to restore, to rise up, to stand.” This word suggests rising from death never to die again.
耶稣不仅是受难日的羔羊。他也是灵性收获的初熟果实。作为 "沉睡之人的初熟果实"，他是许多人中第一个将被复活的人，再也不会死。这是个好消息。我们也将从死亡中复活。新约中翻译为 "复活 "的希腊语单词是anástasis，意思是 "唤醒、恢复、上升、站立"。这个词表示从死亡中复活，不再死亡。
Different Greek words are used to describe the dead who wake up temporarily. For example, after Jesus arose from death, “the tombs broke open, and the bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life” (Matthew 27:52-53). The Greek word that is translated “were raised” is egá´rô. The same word is used in John 12:9 about Lazarus whom Jesus “had raised from the dead.” Lazarus, and the holy people who were raised to life in Jerusalem, died again. Jesus is the firstfruits of those who will be resurrected to live forever. The resurrection of Jesus demonstrates that there is life after death. It assures us that we, too, will experience a resurrection like his.
不同的希腊语词汇被用来描述暂时醒来的死者。例如，耶稣从死里复活后，"坟墓裂开，许多死了的圣人的身体复活了"（马太福音27：52-53）。译为 "被复活 "的希腊语单词是egá´rô。在约翰福音第12章第9节中，关于耶稣 "从死里复活 "的拉撒路也使用了这个词。拉撒路，以及在耶路撒冷被复活的圣徒们，又死了。耶稣是那些将被复活永生的人的初熟果实。耶稣的复活证明了死后有生命。它向我们保证，我们也将经历像他那样的复活。
Jesus said, “Do not be amazed at this, for the time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice and come out–those who have done good will rise to live, and those who have done evil will rise to be condemned” (John 5:28-29). Those who have been cleansed by the blood of Christ will rise to live. From God's point of view, our resurrection day will be “Homecoming Day.”
耶稣说："你们不要惊奇，因为时候将到，凡在坟墓里的，都要听见他的声音出来--行善的要起来活，作恶的要起来受刑"（约翰福音5:28-29）。那些被基督的血洗净的人将会复活而活。从上帝的角度来看，我们的复活日将是 "归家日"。
The Power of His Resurrection
他复活的力量
As a young man, Saul of Tarsus was a rising star. He received special privileges and benefits as a dynamic young Jewish leader. But when he met Jesus, he gave up those fringe benefits. He said, “I consider them rubbish that I may gain Christ. . . . I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection” (Philippians 3:8, 10). The resurrection of Christ became the great dynamic in Saul's (Paul's) life. The resurrection of Christ is our guarantee of immortality. It gives us powerful incentive to follow Jesus, to live the Christian life, and to share our faith with others. The resurrection of Christ empowers us to live with a view to eternity.
作为一个年轻人，大数的扫罗是一颗新星。作为一个充满活力的年轻犹太领袖，他获得了特殊的特权和利益。但当他遇到耶稣时，他放弃了这些附带的好处。他说："我看他们是废物，为要得着基督。. . . 我要认识基督和他复活的能力"（腓立比书3：8，10）。基督的复活成为扫罗（保罗）生命中的巨大动力。基督的复活是我们不朽的保证。它给了我们强大的动力来跟随耶稣，过基督徒的生活，并与他人分享我们的信仰。基督的复活使我们有能力以永恒的眼光来生活。
The Resurrection Assures us That We Have an Advocate
复活使我们确信我们有一个代言人
Paul wrote, “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). We all slip and fall, and Satan is quick to accuse us. (See Job, chapters one and two; Zechariah 3:1-5). It is good to know that when we slip and fall into sin and repent, “we have one who speaks to the Father in our defense–Jesus Christ, the Righteous One” (1 John 2:1).
保罗写道："世人都犯了罪，亏缺了神的荣耀"（罗马书3：23）。我们都会滑倒，撒旦会迅速指责我们。(见约伯记第一和第二章；撒迦利亚3:1-5）。好在我们知道，当我们滑倒在罪中并悔改时，"我们有一位为我们辩护而向父说话的人--耶稣基督，公义者"（约翰一书2：1）。
The resurrected, glorified Jesus is still alive. He is at God's right hand pleading our case, asking the Father to forgive us. The writer of Hebrews assures us that Jesus “is able to save completely those who come to God through him because he always lives to intercede for them” (Hebrews 7:24-25). Christ is our heavenly advocate.
复活的、荣耀的耶稣仍然活着。他在上帝的右手边为我们求情，请求天父原谅我们。希伯来书的作者向我们保证，耶稣 "能够完全拯救那些通过他来到神面前的人，因为他总是活着为他们代求"（希伯来书7:24-25）。基督是我们天上的代言人。
The Resurrection Assures Us That Jesus Is Always With Us
复活向我们保证，耶稣永远与我们同在
When Jesus gave the great commission to his apostles on a mountain in Galilee, he commanded them to go and make disciples of all nations. The enormity of that command must have taken their breath away. To boost their courage, Jesus assured them that they would never be alone. He said, “I am with you always, to the very end of the age” (Matthew 28:20).
当耶稣在加利利的一座山上向他的使徒们发出伟大的委托时，他命令他们去使万民成为门徒。这个命令的艰巨性一定让他们喘不过气来。为了增强他们的勇气，耶稣向他们保证，他们永远不会孤单。他说："我常与你们同在，直到世界的末了"（马太福音28：20）。
The apostles have passed the baton to us, and we must run with it. The enormity of our task is challenging. We face resistance and hostility as we share the good news about Christ with a sin-sick world. But Jesus is saying to us, as he said to his apostles, “I am with you always.” He is with us as we serve as Christ's ambassadors. He is with us when we are sick, when we are sad, when we are lonely, when we are hungry, thirsty, and homeless. He is with us when we are peacemakers (Matthew 18:15-20). He is always with us.
使徒们已经把接力棒传给了我们，我们必须带着它跑。我们任务的艰巨性是具有挑战性的。当我们与一个罪孽深重的世界分享关于基督的好消息时，我们面临阻力和敌意。但耶稣对我们说，就像他对他的使徒们说的那样，"我永远与你们同在"。当我们作为基督的使者服务时，他与我们同在。当我们生病时，当我们悲伤时，当我们孤独时，当我们饥饿、口渴和无家可归时，他与我们同在。当我们成为和平缔造者时，他与我们同在（马太福音18：15-20）。他总是与我们同在。
The presence of the resurrected Jesus is a tremendous source of assurance.
复活的耶稣的存在是一个巨大的保证来源。
