經文: 祂復活的大能。(腓立比書三:10)

耶穌的復活是整個基督教的房角石,是我們救恩拱門的楔石。從神聖源頭流出的活水泉流,若要將其描述分析,將可寫成一本巨冊。這源頭來自我們親愛的主,救主耶穌基督的復活。但是能因擁有復活的生命而與復活之主相交,能因脫離屬世的自我墳墓而看到祂離開墳墓,這是更寶貴的。教義是經歷的基督,但是花比根可愛,因此能經歷與復活的救主相交,比教義本身更可愛。相信基督從死�復活,為此歌頌,並從這個熟悉的史實和多人見證的事實中獲取所有的慰藉吧!雖然你不能以肉眼見到祂,透過信心之眼,你仍能見到基督耶穌。雖然你不能以手摸到祂,但你有幸能與祂交談,並且知道祂已經復活,如同你已在祂�面復活並有新生的樣式一樣。認識釘十架的主已將我所有的罪釘死,這是高度的知識。但是知道復活的救主使我稱義,並明白藉著祂自己新生的樣式賜我新生命,使我成為新造的人,這是崇高的經歷。沒有這樣的經歷我們就不應當滿足。但願你「認識祂並祂復活的大能」。

Scripture: "The power of his resurrection."(Philippians 3:10)

The doctrine of a risen Saviour is exceedingly precious. The resurrection is the corner-stone of the entire building of Christianity. It is the key-stone of the arch of our salvation. It would take a volume to set forth all the streams of living water which flow from this one sacred source, the resurrection of our dear Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ; but to know that he has risen, and to have fellowship with him as such—communing with the risen Saviour by possessing a risen life—seeing him leave the tomb by leaving the tomb of worldliness ourselves, this is even still more precious. The doctrine is the basis of the experience, but as the flower is more lovely than the root, so is the experience of fellowship with the risen Saviour more lovely than the doctrine itself. I would have you believe that Christ rose from the dead so as to sing of it, and derive all the consolation which it is possible for you to extract from this well-ascertained and well-witnessed fact; but I beseech you, rest not contented even there. Though you cannot, like the disciples, see him visibly, yet I bid you aspire to see Christ Jesus by the eye of faith; and though, like Mary Magdalene, you may not "touch" him, yet may you be privileged to converse with him, and to know that he is risen, you yourselves being risen in him to newness of life. To know a crucified Saviour as having crucified all my sins, is a high degree of knowledge; but to know a risen Saviour as having justified me, and to realize that he has bestowed upon me new life, having given me to be a new creature through his own newness of life, this is a noble style of experience: short of it, none ought to rest satisfied. May you both "know him, and the power of his resurrection." Why should souls who are quickened with Jesus, wear the grave-clothes of worldliness and unbelief? Rise, for the Lord is risen.
