主阿，求祢賜福今天的聚會 祢的靈用真理教導我們 祢與我們同在，祢開通我們的心 用主祢自身的真道，光照我們的靈 使我們內裡可以領受祢的話語 領受祢自身的真理 好讓我們的生命得著改變 也求主給我們產生信心 因為祢說：「信道是從聽道來的。」 求主與我們同在 奉主耶穌基督的名求的，阿們 今天晚上、明天、還有後天 我們講的主題，就是 「人的尊嚴、人的墮落與人的救贖」 For the next three evenings, our theme is "The Dignity, Fall And Redemption Of Men" 然而這是一個很嚴肅的題目 This is a very solemn topic 所以我們的佈道會，你從題目就知道 不是逢場作戲的聚會 So our ministry by the theme itself you know is a profound ministry 這個是我們生命中間一定要知道的事情 This is something we need to know in our life 因為我們生而為人，不是因為我們自己要的 是神如此創造 We have been born as human being because it is by the will of God 那神把我們造成人，有祂的旨意 God has created that's the where we are for his will 人被造為人，有他的位格 Human being is created with a special status 有了他的身份 There is a certain identity 這個身份呢，是文化不能了解的 This identity can not be understood by culture 因為文化是人思想人，與人一切的事物 一切的事工，有關係的這個果子 For culture is the product of human thinking About human relationship and human matters 這是人與動物不同的地方 This is where we differ from the animal 動物生存而不知為什麼生存 And animal lives without knowing why 人生存而一定要知道，為什麼生存 But the human being is determined to find out why he lives 使我們對內對外，有所責任 We have responsibility towards others and towards ourselves 而上帝也給我們有對內對外觀望的這個本能 And God gave us the ability to observe internally and externally 當我們向外看的時候 When we look beyond ourselves 看見上帝偉大的造化 We look at the great nature that God has made 向內看的時候 But when we look internally 看到我們內心裡面的直覺 We look at our consciousness inside of us 我們裡面的這個...intuition The intuition in us 所以我們裡面的直覺告訴我們 Our intuition tells us 我們是跟萬物不同的 And we differ from all created beings 我們是超越萬物的 For we surpass them 所以這個超越性，使我們覺悟到 我們不是普通的活物 And because we surpass all living things we realize we are not normal living beings 當我們向外觀望的時候 When we look at externally 看見這個被設計到這麼完美的 一定是有智慧者所創造的 We look at how beautiful and dedicated design in the nature is So we know there is a wise creator there 所以就產生了對神存在的信仰 It therefore creates a faith towards existence Of God 當我向裡面看的時候 When we look internally 看到自己的存在的嚴肅性 跟我們的道德責任 我們就產生了對自我追討的後果 We realize that our living is solemn and we have moral responsibility So we seek ourselves towards a certain standard 這兩樣的東西 These two matters 外面的造化 The external world 裡面的直覺 And the inner intuition 就是神把自己啟示出來 最普遍所用的辦法 Are the methods that God has used commonly to reveal himself to us 所以這個神學裡面叫做 General revelation of God In theology is called general revelation of God 那麼我們有了這些觀望以後 When we have such concepts 我一定會產生反應 We will surely response 所以人對外面奇妙的造化的反應 So our response to this wonderful world outside 對裡面直覺良心存在的反應 Our response towards intuition and conscious 就產生了宗教跟文化 Creates religion and culture 如果沒有這兩樣的東西 If these two matters are absent 就不可能有宗教存在 Religion would not exist 也不可能有文化存在 Culture would not exist as well 所以人之所以是人 For us to be the a human being 人是高過動物的 It is because we're higher than all other animals 神之所以造人 For God to create us 因為要人明白神，與明白人自己 It is for us to understand God and ourselves 所以這樣神聖的東西 Such a holy matter 這樣尊嚴的東西 Such a solemn matter 就是人性之價值所在的地方 It's where humidity is valuable 那麼對神的宗教性的反應 The religious response towards God 就產生了內在的責任感 Create a sense of responsibility internally 對神造化的感應 And our response towards the created world 產生了文化性的責任感 Creates responsibility towards culture 所以人有文化性 So therefore we are cultural 人有宗教性 We are religious 這兩性都沒有的時候 你跟牛、馬、豬、狗，就差不多一樣了 If you don't have not yet either of these Then you are no different from the cow or dog 就今天晚上 So this evening 我要你先發現你是人 I want you to first discover that you are a human being 你說：「我早知道我是人。」 Then you say：「Well, I know I am a human being。」 但是我懷疑你知道你是人 But I seriously doubt that 因為你過的生活不像人 Because you don't live like a human being 有的人天天找女人，像狗 Some people look for women every single day like a dog 不像人 Not like a human being 有的人天天責備人，怪人 根本沒有人性的尊嚴跟道德的責任感 Some people live life scolding people blaming everybody Without responsibility for themselves 所以他們的人性沒有什麼變化 So their humidity is xxx 所以當你覺悟到你是人的時候 But when you realize that 你一定要先發現你的尊嚴在哪裡 You must first discover where your dignity is at? 尊嚴的發現 If you discover dignity 繼續發現到墮落的現實 You will then realize the fact of the fall 然後尋求你蒙救贖的可能在哪裡 You will then seek for the possibility of salvation 所有的文學，所有的哲學 討論的不過就在這幾個範圍裡面 Actually, all literature, all culture discuss same matters 而他們都以為自己找到了 But they all think they have found the way 其實沒有 But not so 能夠真正找到這些答案的 只有在上帝的話裡面 Only the word of God has true answer 因為創造人的上帝，對人性是最明白 也是最負責任，更是最有拯救的功能的 Because God is creator who has created humanity Would be the one who understand most and have the solution for salvation 求上帝的靈引導我們 May the spirit of God guide us all 聖經說：「人被造的時候 The bible says： 「When the human being is created 是按照上帝的形像樣式造的。」 It was based on the image and likeness of God。」 所以說上帝是原樣 God is the original image 人是副版 We are a copy 上帝是原樣 God is the original 我們是照祂的樣被造的 We have been created in the image and likeness of God 所以神是尊嚴的本體 God is honor in himself 神是榮耀的原版 He is the glory of the original state 所以神是聖潔、尊貴、榮耀 公義的本質的本體 God himself is honor, glory, holiness The subjectivity of the righteousness glory, holiness And all kind of virtue is God himself 所以上帝本體本身是所有榮耀的本體 所以當人要找到自己的尊嚴的時候 And so when you try to find your own dignity 你只能回到上帝的面前 The only way is return to God 看上帝是怎樣造我們 To see how God has created men 為什麼這樣造我們 Why has he created men 因為祂要與人產生交通 Because he want to communicate with us 所以人與人之間的關係好的時候 When you have a good interpersonal relationship 你會感到生命是很有價值的 You feel that's value in life 人與人之間的生命的關係好的時候 When you have good relationship with other people 你感到人性的交通是很親密、很尊貴的 You find this is very valuable life to live 但是等到你真正與神發生關係的時候 But when you truly have a relationship with God 你才知道那個尊貴不停在人與人的關係 Then you realize the value doesn't stay at the interpersonal relationship 那尊貴是人與神之間建立正統關係 才開始的 And the most valuable thing starts when you have relationship with God 感謝上帝 Thanks be to God 因為神按照自己的形像樣式造人 For God has created the man in his own image and likeness 所以人才是尊貴的 That is why you have value 那詩篇第八篇告訴我們 The eighth psalm tells us 他說：「我向天觀看 The psalmist says：「when I look into the heaven 看祢所陳設的月亮星宿 And I look at the stars and the constellations 並祢所造的諸天 And the heavens that you created 然後看自己的時候 And when I look at for myself 就說：『人算什麼 Then I said: 『what is the men? 你為什麼會眷顧人呢？ Why do you care about me? 世人算甚麼 What is human being? 祢為什麼顧念他呢？』」 Why do you care about them alone?』」 「人算什麼！」 「We are nothing！」 這一句話是很大的話 This is a profound statement 今天你從來沒有注意到人算什麼 You don't ask yourself：「Who are we?」 因為你每天不看天、不看地 不看自己，只看美金多少錢 Because everyday you don't look at the constellation You don't think about anything except U.S. dollar where is it going 你眼目注重錢財 所以你變成沒有價值的人 Because you give focusing on money you have no real value 如果你注重神跟神的創造 But if you place emphasis on God and his creation 把自己跟宇宙做一個比較的時候 And when you compare yourself with all of the universe 你就產生了兩個結論 There would be two conclusion 第一個結論是什麼呢？ The first 在神所造的萬有中間，我何等渺小 How small you are among all that he has created 因為我這麼渺小 Because I am so puny 所以我算什麼? So I am nothing 我不過是個會死的人 I am just a person who will die 如果我今天我死了 If I were to die today 我能帶一塊錢走嗎? Can I bring a single dollar with me? 我可以帶我的房子走嗎? Can I bring my house with me? 我能帶我的汽車走嗎? Can I bring my car with me? 完全不能 Absolutely not 所以我們根本是沒有什麼價值的 So we have no value in this way 雖然如此 Although this is a case 我把萬有跟自己比較 When I compare myself with all things 發現自己何等的渺小 And I discover how small I am 但是我把自己跟神比較 And when I compare myself with God 我發現祂多麼的偉大 I discover how great he is 所以這兩個觀察之後 After I do these two observations 我產生了兩個結論 My two conclusion will be 一個什麼是最大的 What is the largest? 什麼是最小的？ And what is the smallest? 小的跟大的 When I compare the small with the large 大的跟小的 The large, the small 小與大、大與小 Small and large, large and small 小大與我、與萬物 The between large and small me and all things 我與大、與小、與萬物，與創造萬物的神 Me with the large and small and all things, and God who created all things 怎樣重新建立正確的關係 I want to ask myself how to re-establish the right relationship 接下去 And then 我走的每一步，才有意義 Every steps I take in life would have meaning 我相信如果今天我不講下去 I think if I don't carry on 單單前面講的這幾段的話語 Just a few passages that I mentioned 已經給我們的生命很大的啟發了 It would have been inspired our life a lot 詩篇的作者怎麼講呢？ The psalmist says： 「人算什麼？」 「What is men?」 你懂這句話嗎? You know what this means? 你如果真正懂這句話 If you truly understand this 你整個人生今天開始 你什麼看法都不一樣了 The entire way you look at life would be very different from the way was 人算什麼? What is men? 我們也講過這一種話，但是不是這一句 We have said things that are similar to this before 我們講的是什麼呢? The things we have said 他算什麼 He is nothing Who is he? 我們很少講：「我算什麼？」 Very seldom do we say：「Who am I？」 我們天天都是算人，算不起 算人，算不上 Every time we just look at others we look down on all of them 我們很少人算自己，知道自己不算什麼 Very few of us we reflect upon ourselves to realize we are nothing 我們年輕的時候 When we are young 人家對你說：「某某人多麼厲害 People would tell you： 「Oh! that guy is very good 某某人多麼有智慧 He is very wise 某某人多麼有學問。」 This guy is very learned。」 你說：「他算什麼！」 「He is nothing！」 「他算什麼！」 「He is nothing!」 直到有一天你什麼都失敗了 Until you should fail in all things one day 你才開始覺悟到「我算什麼」 Then you realize that 「well I am nothing」 那你就開始懂得做人了 Then you will start in the right direction We say: 「he is nothing！」 「This guy is nothing！」 「他們算什麼！」 「They are nothing！」 這些話沒有意義 These are meaningless words 當你提到「我算什麼的時候」 But when you realize that you are nothing 你開始注意，意義在哪裡了 Then you start to figure out what meaning is 但是詩人講的不是「他算什麼」 也不是「我算什麼」 But the psalmist is not talking about other people or himself 詩人講的是，「人算什麼」 Psalmist is referent to all of humanity 所以每一個偉大的思想 都是關係全人類，不是關係個人 So all great thinkers think about all of humanity, not individual 我們今天每天所想的都是個人、個人、個人 所以你永遠不成為偉大的人 And today we always think about ourselves that's why we would never be great 當你有一天開始為全人類思想東西的時候 你才開始偉大起來 You will become great when you start to think about all the humanity 我們中國人到各地方，都是Minority The Chinese is a minority race particularly everywhere in the world 在印尼，華人是少數民族 In Indonesia, the Chinese are minority 在美國，華人是少數民族 In America, Chinese is a minority 但是為什麼有些少數民族 變成世界級的偉大人呢？ But there are some minority that become great men in the world 因為這些人所想的，不是少數民族的利益 是全人類的命運、安危、生死 的那個關鍵 And the reason is because these people don't think about their race alone But on the all of humanity When a minority is thinking about the majority's profit He becomes one among the majority 所以一個少數民族的人 如果他在想整個人類的事情的話 他就變成一個偉大的人 詩篇的作者：「人算什麼！」 The psalmist says: 「What is men?」 他這一句話不是對人講的 He didn't say this to men 他這一句話也不是對自己講的 He didn't say to himself 這一句話是對他所覺悟的 創造萬有，比萬有更偉大的上帝講的 He asked this question to God Who has created all things who is greater than all things 所以這一句話就被記在詩篇裡面幾千年 到今天還是很有價值的 And this has been recorded in the psalm For thousands of years valuable due today 「祢竟顧念他」 「Then you should care for him」 「世人算什麼？」 「What is mankind？」 「祢竟眷顧他」 「Then you should even love them」 這一句話很偉大 This is a great question 因為當你把人的地位、身分價值 做很嚴肅地思考的時候 When you solemnly looked at the question relating to the status and the value of mankind 你發現兩個事情的相對性產生了 You will discover two relative issue 第一 First 你比上的時候 When you try compare higher than yourself 發現自己非常微不足道 You find that you are quite insignificant 你比下的時候 And when you compare yourself downwards 發現自己非常的尊貴 And you think of yourself is honorable 那麼什麼叫做比上呢？ What does it mean to compare upwards? 就不要比萬有 You don't compare with all things 比萬有的創造者，上帝 You want to compare yourself with God to create the all things 你比上帝的時候 When you compare yourself with God 你就知道自己微不足道 Then you realize you are most insignificant 上帝面前，君王算什麼？ Before God, what are kings？ 在上帝面前，總統算什麼？ Before God, what are presidents？ 在上帝面前，百萬富翁算什麼？ Before God, what's a millionaire？ 不過是一個會死的人 They are but people who will die one day 所以沒有什麼可以驕傲的 Nothing to be proud of 沒有什麼可以自己認為自己 可以誇口超過別人的 There is nothing for a person to boast of 君王的生命，是在他口中的一口氣而已 The life of a king is dependent on his breathe 有一個的Chiropractic的醫生對我說 There is a chiropractor to told me 我雖然還沒有信耶穌 Well, although I do not believe in Jesus 但是我讀你們的聖經 發現一句話太偉大了 But when I read your bible I discover a great statement 我問他：「哪一句話呢？」 I asked him：「Which one?」 「人的生命不過他口中一口氣而已。」 He says that the statement is 「Life of a man is but dependent on his breathe」 這一口氣 This breathe 就決定你的生死 Decide whether you live or die 但是吐最後一次的氣的時候 When you breathe your last 你就把你的生命交出來了 Your life is surrender 而這個氣呢，經過你的Spinal Cord But this breathe go to your spinal cord 從腦神經 From your brain 有氧氣的供應 With oxygen 然後，結果Spinal Cord能夠繼續在 全身的神經系統裡面產生效用 And your spinal cord has nerves that would control your entire body 這個人就是靈活的 Then you become alive 若不是如此 If that was not the case 你就是癱瘓了 You become paralyzed 你就是植物人 Like a plant 所以人的生命不過一口氣而已 Therefore your life is dependent on your daily breathe 上帝造亞當的時候 When God made Adam 祂把氣吹到亞當裡面 And God breathe his breathe into Adam 亞當成為有靈的活人 And Adam became alive 所以神是偉大的 Only God is great 當你與萬有的創造者相比的時候 So when you compare yourself With the creator of all heaven and earth 你就知道自己非常卑微，微不足道 You discover yourself to be most insignificant 但是第二個比喻是什麼呢？ But the second illustration 當你把上帝交給你的責任 做一個清楚的了解的時候 If you understand the responsibility the God has given to you 你又發現人太偉大了 You discover the humanity is very great 人雖然只有不到一百、兩百公斤 And maybe you are hundred, two hundred twenty K.G. 人可以控制大自然 But we can control nature 人可以發射火箭，超脫地心吸引力 飛到遠遠的太空中間去 We can send the rocket and escape the load of gravity into space 人要探到深海裡面 We can go to discover the deep seas 人要爬到高山上面 We can climb the highest mountain 因為詩篇第八篇告訴我們 The eighth psalm says： 「派他管理天上的飛鳥 地上的走獸、海裡面的魚」 「You have sent him to have dominion over the birds on the air The animals of the land and the fishes of the sea」 人這麼小 So we are quite small 可以掌管天上的鳥、地上的獸、海中的魚 But we can dominate over the birds the animals, and the fishes 所以亞當被造的時候 已經是自然界的三軍總司令 And so when Adam was created he was already the chief of the stuff 你看人的尊貴多麼高 And so we are very honorable 因為這個緣故，人性的尊嚴不可忽視 Therefore, because of that you can not ignore the dignity of humanity 你比上帝，你自己卑微 you are insignificant 你比被造的萬有，你自己驕傲 When you compare yourself with all created things You become arrogant 這就是人性產生兩種 不對的心理病 And so humanity have two source of sickness that is wrong 第一種病就是Superiority Complex 第一個就是超越感 第二就是Inferiority Complex 第二個就是自卑感 在自卑感跟過度的自尊感 都是人心理學裡面兩大錯誤 The superiority complex or inferiority complex are errors in our life 那麼當我們的Superiority Complex 到了最極端的時候 When we become extreme in the superiority complex 我們就變成把自己當作上帝 甚至當作無神論，輕看上帝 We think of ourselves as God Although even atheist and we look down on God 第二種 The second type 當我們太自卑的時候 When we become too inferior 你連做人的力氣都沒有 你就想去自殺 You don't even have the strength to go on and you would kill yourself 這是每天都會發生的事情 These things happen everyday 有的人像毛澤東(1893-1976)，把自己當作神 Some people think that they are Mao Ze Dong so they are like God 有人像貝多芬(Ludwig van Beethoven 1770-1827) 在他的日記說：「我不是人，我是一條蟲。」 Some people like Beethoven who wrote in his diary that 「I am like a worm」 這些都是人性中間發生過的事情 These are things that happen in humanity 為什麼有人以為自己是神呢？ Why is it that some people think themselves like God？ 這些人沒有什麼偉大，但是自以為很偉大 They are not quite great but they think of them I was great 為什麼有的人以為自己是蟲呢？ But why were some people think of themselves I was a worm? 自己很偉大，但是一點不感到自己偉大 They maybe great but they don't think like that 過分的自高 When you have too much superiority complex 過分的自卑 Or too much inferiority complex 都摧毀你的存在 It will destroy your existence 降低你的價值 And lower your value 失去你的尊嚴 And you will lose your dignity 這是很可怕的事情 These are most horrified things 只有一本聖經是從神那裏來的 Only the bible came from God 祂的話是我們腳前的燈 是我們路上的光 And his word is like a lamp onto our feet a light onto our pathway 祂的話如同一片的鏡子 照出我們的本像出來 And his word is like a mirror that reflect who we really are 祂的話如同指南針一樣 給我們看見正確的方向在哪裡 And his word is like a compass showing us the right direction forward 所以今天晚上我要告訴你 So this evening I would tell you 你是人 That you are human being 你是尊嚴的 With honor 你是有價值的 You were created with value 因為聖經告訴我們 Because the bible tells us 上帝造人的時候 When God created men 以尊貴榮耀作為人的冠冕 We are crowned with honor and glory 當上帝把這個冠冕戴在我們上面的時候 When God gave us this crown 表示我們，你跟萬有不一樣了 It means that you are different from all created beings 你是榮耀的受造物 You are a glorious created being 你是尊貴的受造物 You are a created being with great honor 那麼這個呢，比創世紀所講的 「吹一口氣在裡面，人變成有靈的活人」 是更詳細地提到兩個範圍 And this is clearer in the bible 「When God breath his breath to us in two areas」 你是尊貴的 That you are honorable 你是榮耀的 That your are glorious 除了你有生命、有生氣 成為有靈的活人以外 Other than you having this living breath 你是尊貴的有靈的活人 You are a honorable spiritual being 你是榮耀的有靈的活人 You are a glorious living being 那麼這個尊貴跟榮耀 什麼意思呢？ What does it mean to have honor and glory? 二十年前，我在華盛頓 用這兩句話講了五個鐘頭的事情 Twenty years ago in Washington I spent five hours preaching on these two topics 那今天我要很簡單的跟你講 這兩句話的意義在哪裡 And I will simplify it to tell you what these two words mean 人是尊貴的 That we are honorable 人是榮耀的 That we are glorious 什麼叫做榮耀呢 What does glory mean? 什麼叫做尊貴呢？ What does honor mean? 很多人以為聽了這個名詞就懂了 Many people think they know what they means 但是有的人不是的 But not so for some 有的人這兩個問題問了幾十年了 還沒有清楚 Some people seek the answers for decades 不是笨 Not that they are silly 是因為他不滿意所有的答案 But because they are not satisfied with the standard answers 所以感謝上帝 因為他所想的比很多的牧師更深入 There's some people have more profound inside than many pastors 所以我們發現這樣的青年人 前面一定被上帝大大重用 We discover the young people like that will be used mightily by God 因為他不要隨便聽平常的答案 He doesn't want to have standard answers 榮耀是什麼呢？ What is the glory? 因為榮耀跟美德是關聯的 Glory is united with link with morality 上帝把榮耀給人 When God gave us glory 人就有美德的可能 We have the possibility of good works and morality 上帝本身是榮耀的 For God himself Is glorious 祂把榮耀給我們戴上去的時候 When he crown us with glory 表示人是分享上帝的美德功能 It means that we can share the Goodness of God 神是榮耀的 God is glorious 這代表什麼呢？ What does that mean? 就是神是道德的源頭 That means God is the source of morality 神是道德的本體 He is morality in himself 我自己用的是Subjectivity Of Morality Subjectivity of glory 是榮耀的本體 He is subjectivity of glory 這個在德文叫做Ding xxx In German is Ding xxx Thing in itself 這個我們用Subjectivity，是跟齊克果 （Søren Aabye Kierkegaard, 1813~1855) 講的是不一樣的 Different from what the philosopher Kierkegaard said 齊克果所講的Subjectivity，他是Subjective Truth 我是Subjectivity Of The Truth，是不一樣的 Mine is subjectivity of the truth Kierkegaard's is subjective truth 因為神的本身，就是榮耀的本體 In other words, God himself is glory 神的本身，就是真理的本體 God himself is truth 所以我們尋求真理的時候 So when we say：「We seek the truth」 我們是尋求我們以外 另外一個，我們認為非常有價值 我們需要，跟我們合在一起的東西 We are seeking for something we think It's valuable what to be the one with it Something that we are seeking beyond us 我們追求金錢 When we seek after money 因為你以為錢很有價值 It's because you think that money is very valuable 有的人追求大名 Some people seek fame 因為他們認為Reputation很有價值 They think reputation is valuable 有的人追求聖潔 Some people seek after the holiness 因為他們覺悟到聖潔的生活很有價值 They realize the holy living has value 但是無論如何 No matter what 當你尋求這個、那個 每一樣你尋求的對象的時候 When you look at all these objects of your seeking 這些你所尋求的對象，都在你以外 These objects are all beyond yourself 這些都不是你 They are not you 你裡面沒有 It's not within you 你尋求意義 So you seek meaning 因為你發現沒有意義 Because you find there is no meaning 你尋求金錢 You seek after the money 你發現你不夠錢 Because you think you don't have enough money 你要權柄 You want power 因為你缺乏權柄 Because you are powerless 你要情慾 You want desires 你要放肆你的情慾 You want to live a decadent life style 所以你要在外界找到東西 來滿足裡面的需要 You want to satisfy your inner desire by seeking externally 上帝說： God says： 「你要尋求我的面 「You'd go to seek my face 尋求我的能力。」 seek my power。」 今天很多教會不照著聖經、神的吩咐 尋求神要我們找的東西 Today many churches do not follow the bible to seek after the what God wants 今天很多牧師不照著上帝的命令 尋找上帝要我們尋找的東西 Many pastors do not follow the commands of God to seek after what God wants 所以很多神學生，不是尋求神的面 是尋求學位 So many theological students do not seek the face of God They just seek for the degree 他們不是尋求上帝的真理 他們是尋求社會、教會裡面 被人尊重那些面子的問題 They do not seek after the truth of God but the recognition of the congregation 所以結果我們沒有能力 So we have no power because of that 整個人性也是如此 This is the case for humanity 當人所追求的不是上帝要他追求的 他是浪費他的生命 If you seek after the things that God does not want you do You are wasting your life 所以當神要我們追求的 我們真正照著這個方向去走的時候 But when you truly go after the direction that God want you to 上帝說：「If you seek me with all your heart you'll surely and finally get it。」 上帝說：「如果你全心全意追求我的面 你一定找的到。」 「You will surely truly find me」 「你就一定找的到我。」 所以我們知道上帝榮耀的本體 So we know that God is glory in himself 當我們真正明白這句話的意思的時候 When we truly understand the subjectivity of God in glory 我們要做一個榮耀的人 We want to be a glorious person 我們就要尋求上帝的本身 It means that we have to seek after God himself 宗教是不是尋求上帝呢？ Are religions looking for God? 不是 No 宗教從來沒有尋找上帝 Religions never seek God 那你說：「宗教不找上帝，宗教在找什麼呢？」 Then what will religions look for？ 宗教在找上帝的福氣 Religions are seeking after the blessings of God 尋找上帝要給人的利益 The Goodness that God will give to us 所以宗教從來不是尋找上帝 So religions do not look for God 為這個緣故 Because of that 越有聲的宗教，越可能做最壞的人 The more religious people often are the most evil people 現在世界上最敢殺人的 都是利用上帝的名字，尋找宗教的人 And most vicious killers today in the world are often very religious people 他們不是尋找真理 They are not seeking after the truth 那麼尋找上帝，跟尋找上帝的利益 不同在哪裡呢？ The difference between seeking God and seeking the blessings of God 尋找上帝就是放棄一切的利益 要從神的真理裡面 找到祂要我們找的是什麼 Is that when you seek after God you have to abandon all things To find the truth that he want you to seek 所以我們要榮耀 We want glory 我們來到榮耀的上帝面前 We come before glorious God 我們尋找上帝的榮耀 To seek the glory of God 榮耀跟美德有關 Glory is related to morality 所以神的聖潔 God's holiness 神的公義 God's justice 神的慈愛 God's love 神的真實 God's integrity 神的永恆的謙卑靈性，成為我們敬虔的追求 The eternal humanity and spirituality of God become the things we seek after 我們真的尋求上帝嗎? Do I really seek after God? 我們就尋求神的聖潔 We will seek after the holiness of God 我要聖潔像上帝 To be holy like God 我要慈愛像上帝 I want to be loving like God 我要公義像上帝 I want to be just like God 良善像上帝 I want to be good as God 我要憐憫像上帝 I want to compassionate as God 我有對別人愛心像上帝 I want to love others the way God loves us 要是能達到這些以後呢 If you are able to reach all of these 你就成為榮耀的人 Then you become a glorious being 所以榮耀與神的美德有關 And therefore glory is linked with the goodness of God 第二樣，尊嚴或著上帝的尊貴 是與神的價值有關的 The honor of God is linked with the value of God 剛才我們提到一件事情 Earlier we mentioned 就是榮耀與尊貴在祂的重量裡面 That glory and honor is within the weightage of God 原來上帝造萬有的時候 Because when God created all things 祂把每一種物質都放在 不同的比重的原則的裡面 All created beings have different weightages 比如說水 Foe example, water 一公升的水，是等於一公斤 One liter water is one kilogram in weight 十公分 Ten cm 乘十公分 By ten cm 就叫做一公升 This is one square 你把一個容量十公分乘十公分乘十公分 把水倒進去秤的時候，剛好是一公斤 If you measure that cube of water is exactly one kilogram 但你把十公分乘十公分乘十公分的容量 用油倒進去的時候 有的是0.6，有的0.8 有的0.85，不到一公斤 But if you fill the cube with different kind of oil They all weight differently 所以Palm oil在水裡面，它浮起來 That's why palm oil will float in water 還有別的油也浮起來 Other formal oil will float Gasoline也浮起來 Gasoline will float 因為它們的重量不是1 They don't have the weightage of one 它比1更低 Lower than one 但那麼如果你呢，把這個一公升的容量 放銀下去的時候 But when you put silver inner 它一定沉下去 Surely it will sink 你放鐵下去的時候 Or iron 你把銅放上去的時候 Or browns 更重的沉下去 It will surely sink 因為鐵的比重是7.9 Because iron is 7.9 銅的比重是8點幾 And brown is about 8 黃金是16.9 Gold is 16.9 所以它的重量是重的不得了 Very very heavy 這樣上帝的尊貴，怎麼樣去了解它呢 So how do we understand the honor of God? 神的重量的比值 When you look at the weightage of God 超過所有的萬有 Is far surpass everything else 所以萬有是祂創造的 For he has created all things 所以上帝的尊貴 And so the honor of God 有最大最大的價值 Has the highest value 所以今天買黃金的時候 When you should buy gold today 你買一點點 Buy a little bit of gold 你付了幾千塊美金 Go to pay thousands of dollars 你買水的時候 If you buy water 你付幾塊錢 Just a few dollars 你已經得了一大堆 You can have lots of them 為什麼呢? Why? 因為價值不一樣 The value is different 那麼一個人對價值系統 有所感覺的時候 When you are sensitive towards system of values 他就能夠把應當有的尊貴的衡量，放出去 去面對他所看待的事物 He will be able to judge all things with the correct measure 有的人人格很偉大 Some people are very dignified 你尊敬他都來不及 And you have to honor them 有的人呢，根本微不足道 But some people are most insignificant 看見他，你都討厭 And you are so to hate them 為什麼呢？ 因為人如果要人尊重 一定要有被人尊重的本錢 人才應當尊重你 If you want to be respected you must be worthy of it 你盼望人尊重你，但你不像樣 你不需要再盼望人尊重你 If you want people to respect you but you lived a hate past life, no one will 我相信我們每一個人都一個衡量 I think we all have this measure 對這個人 We look at the person 特別尊重 We honor this guy 對那個人 We look at that guy 少一點尊重 Less honor 對另外一個人 Look at the other guy 不必尊重 No respect for him 對另外一種人 Look at another person 輕看他夠了 We even look down on him 另外一種人 Another type of people 咒死他才甘願 You curse them 因為他的重量不一樣阿 All have different weightages 你明白我的意思嗎? You understand what I am saying? 我們每一個人都盼望人尊重 Everyone of us want to be respected 你到底像不像樣？你為什麼要人尊重你？ But why would people respect you？ are you worthy of it？ 如果你根本不值得尊重 而一天到晚要求人尊重你 你是一個非常苛刻的人 If you are not worthy of respect you keep demanding others You are most unreasonable 孔子說：「君子求諸己，而小人求諸人。」 Confucius says that：「The true gentleman would demand lots from himself But the despicable person will demand xxx others。」 你對自己非常嚴格的要求 If you demand a lot from yourself 你才有資格盼望人尊重你 Then you are worthy of asking people to respect you 我今天做傳道人 As a preacher today 如果我講的話是有重量的 If the things I said are all significant 是有價值的 Has value 你不尊重我，不要緊 吃虧的是你自己 It would be your loss if you don't respect what I said 如果我今天是亂講，講的是很輕浮 很隨便，沒有價值的話語 But if my sermons are very shallow without any meaning 你尊重我，我應當害羞 When you said you respect me I ought to be ashamed on myself 因為我是不配被尊重的 For I am not worthy 你明白嗎? You understand this? 單單這一點，你重新好好做人 Just on this point alone you should re-organize your life 你到底付多少代價？ Have you paid the price? 你到底達到多少成就？ Have you achieve what you should？ 你有多少被人尊重的可能？ How much should you be respected by others? 然後人尊重你 Then others will respect you 你就心安理得 You will be a peace with yourself 昨天晚上我飛到紐約 Last evening I was at New York 林望傑說：「我有一個套房 你跟我在一個房間好了，不要再花錢。」 Dr. Jahja Ling said that：「 just stay together with me in the same hotel room but spend another。」 因為紐約的旅館太貴的 The hotels in New York is very expensive 套房有兩個地方可以睡，一個在房間 一個在客廳，很大的沙發椅上 There is a suite so there is a room and a big sofa 那為什麼他住這個套房呢？ Why was he stay in this suite? 一個佈道團副團長要用這麼多錢 住套房做什麼呢？ He is the vice chairman of our ministry why would he spend this money? 因為人尊重他 Because he is honored by others 所以給他整禮拜住套房 They let him stay in the suite 替他出錢 They pay for him 你說林望傑是誰嗎? Who is Dr. Lin? 所以從亞當到今天 From Adam due today 全中國最大的交響樂指揮 He is the greatest conductor among the Chinese 聽他指揮的人 Those who have saw him conduct 包括英國的伊麗莎白女皇 Including the queen of England 包括好多美國的總統 Many presidents of America 在Super Bowl指揮的那一場 In super bowl he conduct 有八億的人，從電視聽他指揮 Eight hundred million people who watch the conduct 他也選作美國最好的年輕指揮 And he is considered one of the the greatest young conductor in America 所以現在請他指揮 And now if you ask him to conduct a orchestra 等三年都不一定他有時間來指揮 The queue is like three years long 但每次我佈道會，他就出來領唱 But every time we have a ministry he will come and lead a song 特別在美國的，為什麼呢？ Especially in America, why? 因為我尊重他 Because I honor him 而他尊重上帝 He honor God 所以在我面前，他是偉大的音樂家 在上帝面前，他不過是基督徒 But before me, he is a great musician but before God, he is just a christian 這個是價值觀的衡量喔 That's where you measure value 那今天早上我們離開旅館 So this morning we left the hotel 他就去結帳 He went to set up the bill 是人替他付錢的 Other people have paid for him 那個房間一天一千三百四十塊 再加上Twenty percent的tax The room is like one thousand three hundred and twenty dollars plus tax 所以呢，咱們一千六百塊 About thousand six U.S. dollars 那麼住一個禮拜多少錢呢？ If you stay a week, how much will they cost? 你可以想像多少錢 So you can image how is expensive it cost 人為什麼給他住這樣的旅館呢？ Why would people pay him? 因為尊重他 For they honor him 如果他是一個不值得尊重的人 If he is a person not worthy of honor 給他住八十塊的旅館已經不錯了 Let him stay in a eighty dollars hotel 但因為他是尊貴的人 But he is considered honorable 付他身上一萬塊，也不算多少錢 Even ten thousand dollars is nothing 這個叫做尊重 This is honor 為什麼呢？ Why？ 你很重，他很尊，叫做尊重 Because he is of heavy weightage 沒有尊輕這個事情 You don't honor lightness 你很輕，他尊重你，沒有這個事情 Nobody honors someone who is a lightweight 那麼在尊重這個事情上 So in the matter of honor 這個叫做價值系統 This is a value system 價值系統 Value system 從比重的這個現象看出來 Can be observed from the phenomenon of weightage 誰應當最被尊重呢？ Who should be honor greatly? 不是總統 Not the president 不是文學家 Not the writers 不是諾貝爾獎的得獎人 Not nobel prize winner 是創造萬有的上帝 It's God who has created all things 所以我告訴你 So I tell you 你給哪一種人 When you look at the different person 哪一種的敬重 The way you respect each other 那就顯明你自己像樣不像樣 Will actual reflect on your own value system 不當尊重的你尊重他 你是浪費你的價值觀 If you respect those people who are not to You are wasting your way of values 應當尊重的，你不尊重他 But if you do not respect those who deserve it 你就踐踏你的價值觀 You are actually trampling upon your system of value 所以聖經有一句話 There is a verse in the bible 只出現一次 That only appear once 應當懼怕的，懼怕他 You need to fear those who ought to be fear 應當尊敬的，尊敬他 And you need to honor those who need to be honor 誰知道這一節聖經在哪裡，請舉手 我要考基督徒 Anyone of you knows where this verse is from? 誰知道這一節聖經在哪裡？請舉手 Where does this verse come from? anyone? You need to fear those who need to be fear 應當尊重的，尊重他 You need to honor 誰知道的？舉手 Who knows where this verse comes from? 舉手，舉手 Raise your hands 喔，原來Lauderdale沒有一個人敢舉手 No one dare to raise your hands 你們說你是基督徒，我很懷疑的 I am suspect whether you are a christian or not It only appear once 所以如果一個小孩子 If a child 或著一個青年人 A young person 我跟他一談 If I speak to him 發現他答的都是對的 And I find that what he say is right 我會驚奇萬分 I would be quite astonished 我會尊敬萬分 And be honor him 因為他應當被尊敬 Because he ought to be honor 這一節聖經只有一次 This bible verse appear once 只有一次 Only once 出現在羅馬書第十三章 Fear those who need to fear And honor those who need to be honor 應當交稅的，交給他 Need to pay taxes when you ought to 應當納糧的，納給他 And ought to pay the salary as he ought to 中國人這四句都不要 The Chinese don't want all these four 應當交稅的，逃稅 We try to escape tax 不要笑，這是犯罪，你不要笑喔 It is a sin actually 應當納糧的，不必納 And you don't want to give your xxx 應當懼怕的，不必怕 You don't want to be fearful 應當尊敬的，不必尊敬 You don't want to honor people 所以我們的文化亂七八糟 So our culture is in the mess 現在的中國 China today 錢越多，就越多貪財的人 The richer they become the more corruption they have 經濟越好，就越多走私漏稅 越多貪汙的官吏 The better economy perform the more taxes xxx 因為不照著聖經做 Because they don't follow the bible 應當交稅的，不交給他 People don't pay taxes 應當納糧的，不納給他 And they don't give what they ought to 應當懼怕的，不懼怕他 They don't fear the authority 應當尊敬的，不尊敬他 They don't honor what ought to be honor 那我講的這句跟剛才的尊貴 How does it link with the honor that I spoke about? 如果你真正做一個尊貴的人 If you are truly a honorable person 你的價值系統是正確的 Your value system would be correct 如果你真正做一個榮耀的人 If you are a truly glorious person 你道德系統是正確的 Your morality would be right 如果我真的追求榮耀 If I seek after the glory 我就知道神的美德就是我行為的目標 I realize that the morality of God should be what I seek after 因為神是聖潔的，我要過聖潔的生活 For if God is holy, I want to live holy life 因為神是慈愛的，我要愛人 Because God is merciful, I want to be loving 因為神是良善的，我要存心清潔良善 And because God is good that I want to live a good life 因為神是公義的，我對待人不可以用雙重標準 And because God is just I ought not to be bias towards others 因當尊敬的，尊敬他 I ought to honor those who should 應當用公義、慈愛、良善 誠實、聖潔，來建立我的人生 I need to build up my life with goodness righteousness, and justice of God 因為我是榮耀的 For I am glory 上帝把榮耀作為我的冠冕 God has crowned me with glory 我不可以把我的冠冕摘下來 用腳去踐踏他 I Am not to remove the crown and trample it with my feet 一個人出賣自己，他就不像人 If you betray yourself you are no longer a human being 一個人不尊重榮耀跟尊貴的原則 他就不像人 And if you do not respect the principle of honor and glory You are no longer like a human being 不但如此 Not only that 因為神是榮耀的本體 Because God is glory in himself 我追求像神的榮耀 I want to seek after the glory of God 因為神是尊貴的本體 Because God is subjectivity of honor 我要把最大的、最高的價值，歸給祂 I want to give him the greatest and biggest honor 有的人我看中 Some people I would honor 但是不一定我尊重 But I mean no respect 因為他某些事情很好，所以我看中他 I mean treasure him for some areas of his life 但某些行為很卑賤，所以我不尊重他 But something he did xxx yyy despicable 有一些人值得尊重 But some people deserve your honor 所以尊重他 So you honor them 尊敬他 You respect them 敬佩他 And you admire them 最高的時候呢 And at highest 不是尊重 It's no long respect 不是尊敬 Or just admire 不是敬佩 Or to just honor them 是敬拜 And highest, you worship 大家說：「敬拜」 Worship 最高最高最高，最高的價值 我不是尊敬祂，我是敬拜祂 At highest of highest is no longer just honor or respect, you are worshiping 有一些人你很崇拜他 Some people you really admire them 而他還不值得你敬拜他 But not worthy of you to worship them 因為只有一樣，是我們應當敬拜的 There is only one being that you can worship 只有一位，是我們應當敬拜的 Only one person that you can worship 就是上帝 And that would be God 所以祂在至高之處 應當得到最高的敬佩 而這個敬佩就是對上帝的敬拜 He is at the highest and so you admire him so much that you worship him You only worship God 你只能夠敬拜上帝 所以有幾個外國人走了 他以為這樣的道容易聽 你在美國的教會 重來沒有聽過這樣的道 And you find it's seldom This sermon is very profound and difficult to understand 你們好好聽阿 So listen carefully 可能你沒有機會再聽到了 You may not have any opportunity later 因為神是最高的 For God is highest 所以你把敬拜歸給上帝 So you give him the worship 唯有祂，配得我們的敬拜 Only him is worthy of our worship 阿們 Amen 所以當你懂得對最高的神敬拜的時候 你才活得像一個人一樣 And so when you know how to worship the highest God Then you live like a human being 你就發現你的尊貴在什麼地方 You discover where your honor comes from 所以聖經詩篇第八篇告訴我們 上帝把尊貴榮耀做我們的冠冕 給我們戴上的時候 When God crowned us with honor and glory 告訴我們神給人最大的特權 It tells us that we have special privileges from God 我們可以建立我們的 尊敬的整個的系統 We can establish a honorable system in our life 我們也可以建立我們整個道德的系統 Our live can be established on the right sense of morality 我們活在上帝的面前 And when we live before God 成為敬拜祂的人 We become beings that worship him 我們人的範圍裡面 And Within The Range Of Humanity 彰顯上帝美德的人 We manifest his goodness 這就是人的尊貴 This is where we are honorable 因為人的尊貴有一個很重要的特質 There is a special mark of our honor 就是在這兩個系統中間所作到的事情 使你存到永永遠遠 And that is the thing should you do within the system will enable to last forever 我有一天呢，我忽然想一個事情 One day I suddenly was thinking of this matter 把這個巴哈的聖約翰、聖馬太受難曲 (Johann Sebastian Bach 1685-1750) Saint Matthew's Passion by Bach 還有韓德爾的彌賽亞 (Georg Friedrich Handel 1685-1759) And Handel's messiah 把這些偉大的作品 Are these great music 跟巴黎的聖母院做一個比較 When I compare it with the cathedral in Paris 哪一個更偉大？ Which one will be greater? 你知道我在講什麼嗎? You know what I am talking about? Notre Dame in Paris The Notre Dame cathedral The greatest example of gothic architecture in the world history 那是歌德建築形狀最偉大的一棟 單單中間的那一個後門上去的屋頂 離開地面三十六公尺 等於現在的，差不多十二層樓高 And the roof is thirty-six meters height 現在的你看這個 最多大概十六公尺、十八公尺 It is about eighteen meters height 但是那是三十六公尺 But that was thirty-six meters 那是九百年以前建的 That was built nine hundred years ago 那時候沒有鋼筋水泥 They don't have steel 所以他們只會用石頭切石頭 把整個這樣高的東西，放在上面 And it would stone upon stone 沒有跌下來 And it still held 九百年 For nine hundred years 偉大的建築 A great piece of work 那我問一個問題 So I ask a question 就是巴黎聖母院 And is Notre Dame cathedraw 或著是歌德的大教堂 A great gothic church 或著是科隆的大教堂 Or church in cologne 跟Matthew Passion的音樂 When you compare with the music Saint Matthew's Passion Handel的彌賽亞 Or Handel's messiah 貝多芬的交響樂 Or the symphony of Beethoven 你把建築跟音樂做一個比較 If you compare the greatness of a building to a music Which will be considered greater? 有誰要回答我？ Who would give me the answer? Which one is greater? 我問林望傑好了，因為他是音樂家 I ask Dr.Lin, he is a musician 哪一個偉大？ 阿？阿？ 音樂 因為你是音樂家，所以你說音樂更偉大 So you musician, you said music is greater 我大概十年前想這個問題 I thought about this about ten years ago 後來我得到的答案是什麼？ My conclusion was 彌賽亞更偉大 Messiah is greater than the building Saint Matthew Passion更偉大 The passion is greater than the building 你們詩班知道我在講什麼嗎? Does Choir were know? 你同意嗎? 他講的 Do you agree? 音樂更偉大，為什麼呢？ Music is greater, why? 因為聖母院炸彈一炸，它就掉了，沒有了 Because you can bomb the building and it would disappear，對不對呢 ？ 那彌賽亞炸得掉嗎? But the messiah 炸不掉的 You can not bomb it away 你就是把它的譜全部撕破了 Even if you would destroy all the music scores 它還存在 It will still exist 因為音樂是超過四度空間的藝術品 For music it's a art form that transcends the forth dimension 為什麼講四度，不講三度呢？ Why not the third dimension? 因為三度還在物質的範圍 Three dimension is physical 四度已經進到時間的範圍了 這是愛因斯坦講的理論 Forth dimension is time 那現在的空間的這個幾個方程式 Now when you look at the dimensions of the space 現在已經超過兩百六十多個空間了 Many people have proposed more than two hundred and sixty dimensions 這個已經不是人的思想 平常人可以想明白的 Not your normal a things of thought 你注意喔 But think notice 當時間沒有辦法消滅一個 偉大的東西的時候 When a great work of art can not be destroyed by time 它已經不在空間可毀壞的範圍裡面 It is no longer corruptible within space 它太偉大了 So it's great 偉大到甚麼地步？ How great is it? 看不見的 That is invisible 所以如果你把彌賽亞的原譜 現在在大英博物館裡面 The original score is in the British museum 把它撕破了 If you go destroying the score 它照樣存在 The music still exists 因為很多彈過彌賽亞的，可以把它背出來 Many people have memorized entire score 林望傑十二歲的時候 When Dr. Lin was twelve 他在雅加達一個教會裡面彈彌賽亞 He was playing the messiah in a church in Jarkarta 那一天他要到教會去的時候 The day when he was about to go to church 他把樂譜跟他自己放在摩托車上面 He put the score at the motorbike 但他到教堂，禮拜堂的時候 But when he reached the church 發現這個樂譜不見了 He discovered the score was lost 在路上丟了 On the way it must have flew off 那怎麼辦呢？ So what would he do？ 糟糕了 Oh dare 詩班要獻詩 The choir is going to give act 教會滿滿的人坐滿了 The place was packed 他要伴奏 He was the accompaniment 樂譜丟了 And he lost the music score 他很急 He was anxious 他是一個天才 But he is a genius 當場詩班唱，全部把它背出來 On the spot he just memorized the whole thing 沒有錯誤的背出來 No error 所以過關了，他再買一本 Then after that he bought another score 所以這種東西呢 This sort of things 你沒有辦法毀壞它 You can not destroy 你沒有辦法消滅它 You can not get rid of it 所以偉大的音樂家 So a great musician 已經留下了永恆的東西 是沒有人可以毀壞掉的 Has left work of arts that are eternal 所以建築物 A building 多雄偉 No matter how great 可以炸掉 You can bomb it away 你可再建一個 You can build another one 不是原來的 But is no longer original 但是音樂 Music 你把它撕破，他再彈出來 還是原來那一首 People can still play the original score 這是永恆跟暫時不同的地方 This is the difference between eternal and temporal 那今天我要結束了，要講的是什麼呢？ And in closing our citation 就是神放在人性裡面最尊貴的部分 The most honorable things that God has placed in you 都是超物質的 Surpasses the material 超暫時的 Surpasses the temporal 永恆性的 It has eternality 不能消滅掉的 Can not be destroyed 所以當你把最尊貴的價值系統 建立起來的時候 And so when you establish a value system based on the most honorable 你把最尊貴的道德系統 You establish a moral standards upon most honorable things 你正在為永恆預備自己 You are preparing yourself for eternity 你成為了最尊貴的人 And you become a most honorable person 你的永恆的美德，可以不被世界所消滅 Your eternal good works will not be destroyed by the world 你對神的敬拜，跟你尊嚴的尊敬的部分 也是永恆存有，世界沒有辦法消滅掉 Your worship of God and the dignity you have your life Is so eternal and would not be 換一句話說 In other words 你有永遠的靈魂 You have an eternal spirit 跟這個暫時的身體是不一樣的 Different from your temporal flesh 你的美德不是從身體出來的 Your moral good works did not come from your flesh 你的聖潔不是建立在這個身體上面而已 Your holiness is not built upon this physic body 你的慈愛 Your love 你的良善 Your goodness 你的公義 Your justice 要存到永永遠遠 Your justice will live forevermore 你對神的真理 The truth for God 對神的敬拜 Your worship for God 對神的尊敬 The honor towards God 這些都是存到永遠的事情 These things will live forever 直到有一天 Til one day 你在上帝的面前 Before God 你會聽見啟示錄第五章的那些話 You will hear words from revelation chapter five 榮耀、尊貴、頌讚 智慧、豐富、權柄、能力 都歸給坐寶座的羔羊 That glory, honor, power, justice all be to the lamb on the throne 也是耶穌基督 Wold be Jesus Christ 神的本體 God himself 人的尊貴榮耀 是從上帝的兒子的形像造出來的 Our dignity and glory comes from Jesus Christ, the son of God 我們真正達到這個尊嚴的時候 And when we are able to reach this stage 就歸於耶穌基督直到永永遠遠 Our glory will be to Jesus Christ til eternity 這是人性偉大的地方 This is where we are great in humanity 當你看到了這些 When you realize all these things 再看你現在的生活 And then you reflect upon your life 你知道你已經沒有照著上帝要你活的生活 活在世界上 You realize that you have not been living life the way God who has intendedly to be 所以你需要救贖 So you need salvation 那人是尊貴榮耀的 We have been built with honor and glory 現在因為犯罪的緣故 我們變成卑賤的 我們變成非常羞辱的 Because we have sin so we have become despicable and shameful 如果你到監牢去 If you would to go to a prison 你看見犯罪的人 You look at the criminals 沒有道德的人 Those without morality 被關在裡面 When they are in xxx 他們的講的話 The words they said 他們過的生活 The life they lived 是非常卑賤的 They are very despicable 所以呢 Therefore 今天晚上 This evening 我告訴你 I tell you this 上帝愛你 God loves you 祂要你從你的罪性中間 從墮落中間被拯救起來 He wants to deliver you from the fallenness and from sin 用什麼辦法呢? Which way? 就是讓這個尊貴榮耀的本體 自己到世界上來 His method is to have honor and glory himself coming to the world 耶穌基督到世界上來 Jesus Christ came to the world 從尊貴變成卑賤的人 And from all his glory he became lowly in flesh 榮耀變成羞辱的人 Form glory he came in humiliation 被釘在十字架上 To be crucified on the cross 人以為就可以羞辱祂 And we think that we can humiliate him 祂在十字架上彰顯了更偉大的榮耀 But on the cross he manifest the greater glory 因為祂的愛 For his love 讓祂講：「 父阿，赦免他們 Enable him to say：「Father, forgive them 因為他們所做的，他們不知道。」 For they do not what they have done。」 因為祂的榮耀 Because of his glory 祂的尊貴 Because of his honor 使祂用最聖潔的身分 代替我們，擔當罪惡 And with the most holy life he took upon our sins 最偉大的愛 表示神要拯救人的心願 With the greatest love he manifest how God would save us 這一位尊貴榮耀的主 This lord who is with honor and glory 代替我們 Took our place 領受了羞辱與卑賤 To receive shame and humility 把我們挽回過來 And to recover us 我們的尊嚴是我們墮落以前 本來有的形像 Before we have fallen into sin we would honorable 我們的墮落，使我們失去了那原有的形像 產生了現狀 But because we have fallen we have lost the original honor To become who we are today 神的救贖是要我們離開 現在降卑失敗的人性 回到祂為我們造的旨意裡面 And the salvation of God is to deliver us from this fail state To what he has originally designed us for 盼望我們今天明白這些道理 We pray that we understand all this evening 如果你真正明白這些的道理 If you truly understand these 那你的生命就改變了 Your life will change 不要再過犯罪的生活 No longer live a life of sin 不要再走錯誤的道路 No longer go on the path will error 不要再玩弄自己的生命 No longer play a fool with your life 今天我們對主說：「 主阿 Let us say this evening to the lord： 我開始覺悟 「Oh load, now I understand 我願意明白 I am willing to understand 求主光照我 And lighten me 呼召我 Call me 回到祢的面前。」 To return to you。」 你願意嗎？ Are you willing? 我問你：「你願意嗎？」 I am asking you : 「Are you willing?」 願意離開你卑賤的生活 Are you willing to leave this lowly life style? 回到你尊貴的地位上面 To return to the honor that you were designed for 神的救贖 The salvation of God 把你帶回這個新的地位 Will bring you back to this place 聖經說：「 若有人在基督裡 The bible says：「If anyone is in Christ 他就是新造的人 He is a new creature 舊事已經過 The old has passed away 一切都變成新的了。」 every thing has become new。」 我們低頭禱告 Let us pray 當我們低頭閉眼睛的時候 When our eyes are close, heads are bow 有哪一個人 Is there anyone among us? 無論你是基督徒 No matter whether you are a christian 或著你不是基督徒 Or not a christian 你說：「主阿 You say：「Oh, lord 我願意回到祢的面前 I am willing to return to you 我願意重新領受祢的恩典 And to receive your grace again 我願意更新我的生活 I want to renew my life 我願意重建我的信心。」 and will establish my faith。」 有這樣的人 A person like that 雖然我已經信祢 Perhaps I have believed 我今天更新我的信仰 But today I want to renew my faith 我今天回到祢面前。」 to return to you。」 不論你信主 Whether you are a christian 或著不信主 你都可以對主做一個回應 You can response to God 你願意，請你把手舉起來 If you are willing, I ask you raise your hand 舉了就放下去 Raise it and put it down 感謝主、感謝主、 感謝主… Thanks be to God…… 許多許多的人 So many of you 還有哪一個人？ Is there anyone?
