【062】今日灵粮 Spiritual FOOD TODAY：耶稣已经为所有信他的人打破了死亡的权势 Jesus Has Broken the Power of Death for All Who Believe in Him

【SCRIPTURE 经文】：耶稣对他说：“复活在我，生命也在我。信我的人虽然死了，也必复活凡活着信我的人必永远不死。 你信这话麽？; Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?”. (约翰福音John 11:25-26)

【SHARING 分享】: 《今日灵粮 Spiritual FOOD TODAY》中分享的经文是约翰福音 11:25-26。许多圣经学者和牧师都解读过这段经文，他们认为，耶稣关于死亡的行动以及祂与死亡的互动，可以通过圣经中记载的几个关键事件及其神学意义来理解：

(1) 彰显权柄：圣经记载耶稣通过神迹使许多人复活，彰显祂对肉体死亡的直接权柄，例如约翰福音 11 章中的拉撒路、马可福音 5 章中的年轻女子以及路加福音7章中的寡妇之子。这些行动确凿地证明了祂的神力，并印证了祂在约翰福音 11:25-26 中的宣告： “我就是复活，我就是生命。” 这也是我们在《今日灵粮 Spiritual FOOD TODAY》中讨论的重点；(2) 赎罪牺牲：耶稣关于死亡的主要行动是祂自己的钉十字架。祂是无罪的，却承担了人类罪的刑罚 —— 属灵的死亡 —— 因此被钉在十字架上，为人类而死。祂的行动建立了新的盟约，带来了罪得赦免和与神和好，正如马太福音 26:28 和哥林多后书 5:21 所记载，并在希伯来书 2:14-15 和罗马书 6:9 中有所启示。祂永远战胜了死亡；最终，（3）耶稣藉着祂的死和复活，除去了我们对死亡的恐惧，赐给我们永生，使我们在来世与神同在。他拯救了那些被死亡恐惧奴役的人，赐给他们平安和在神面前永生的确据。藉着信耶稣，人可以领受永生的恩赐，一种与神同在的属灵生命，这生命从今时开始，超越肉体的死亡。

约翰·派博牧师 Rev. John Piper 在他的 “纯粹喜乐 Pure Joy” 专栏发表了一篇题为《耶稣如何看待死亡？》的文章，其中引用了希伯来书 9:27-28。在这段经文中，派博牧师解释说，耶稣担当了我们的罪，为我们而死。这就是基督教信仰的核心，福音的精髓，以及神在世上伟大救赎工作的本质。耶稣基督没有背负自己的罪，而是背负了我们的罪；他为我们的罪被钉在十字架上，使我们从罪中得释放。

派博牧师进一步问道，如果这是真的，那么死亡对我们意味着什么《希伯来书》第 9 章第 27 节的作者说：“人人都有一死。” 因为耶稣基督为我们而死，我们的罪已被赦免，所以我们的死亡不再是惩罚，不再是罪的刑罚。藉着耶稣基督的死，我们的罪得赦免，因为耶稣基督承担了罪的刑罚。那么，为什么我们仍然要经历死亡呢？因为神的旨意是让死亡留在世上，所以即使是祂的儿女也必须经历死亡，从而不断地彰显罪的极端可怕。当我们死亡时，我们也揭示了罪的外在后果：死亡。但对于神的儿女来说，死亡不再是神的惩罚，因为耶稣基督的死止息了神对我们的愤怒。死亡成为我们通往天国的门；我们不再被定罪。因此，我们可以欢欣地分享《今日灵粮 Spiritual FOOD TODAY》的主题，而不必担心我们的罪得不到赦免，因为 “耶稣已经为所有信他的人打破了死亡的权势"。

The passage shared in《今日灵粮 Spiritual FOOD TODAY》 is John 11:25-26. Many biblical scholars and pastors have interpreted this passage, believing that Jesus' actions regarding death and His interaction with death can be understood through several key events recorded in the Bible and their theological significance:

(1) Manifestation of Authority: The Bible records Jesus raising many people from the dead through miracles, demonstrating His direct authority over physical death, such as Lazarus in John 11, the young woman in Mark 5, and the widow's son in Luke 7. These actions definitively prove His divine power and confirm His declaration in John 11:25-26: "I am the resurrection and the life." This is also the focus of our discussion in our《今日灵粮 Spiritual FOOD TODAY》; (2) Atoning Sacrifice: Jesus' main action regarding death is His own crucifixion. He was sinless, yet He bore the punishment for human sin — spiritual death — and was therefore nailed to the cross, dying for humanity. His actions established a new covenant, bringing forgiveness of sins and reconciliation with God, as recorded in Matthew 26:28 and 2 Corinthians 5:21, and revealed in Hebrews 2:14-15 and Romans 6:9. He conquered death forever; finally, (3) through His death and resurrection, Jesus removed our fear of death, gave us eternal life, and made us be with God in the age to come. He saved those enslaved by the fear of death, giving them peace and the assurance of eternal life before God. Through faith in Jesus, one can receive the gift of eternal life, a spiritual life of being with God that begins now and transcends physical death.

Pastor John Piper published an article in his "Pure Joy" column entitled "How Did Jesus View Death?", which quoted Hebrews 9:27-28. In this passage, Pastor Piper explains that Jesus bore our sins and died for us. This is the core of the Christian faith, the essence of the Gospel, and the nature of God's great redemptive work on earth. Jesus Christ did not bear his own sins, but ours; he was crucified for our sins, freeing us from them.

Pastor Piper further asked, if this is true, then what does death mean for us? The author of Hebrews in chapter 9 says in verse 27, "Everyone must die once." Because Jesus Christ died for us, our sins have been forgiven, so our death is no longer punishment, no longer the penalty for sin. Through the death of Jesus Christ, our sins are forgiven, because Jesus Christ bore the penalty for sin. So why do we still experience death? Because God's will be for death to remain in the world, so even His children must experience death, thus continually demonstrating the extreme horror of sin. When we die, we also reveal the external consequence of sin: death. But for God's children, death is no longer God's punishment, because the death of Jesus Christ stopped God's anger towards us. Death becomes our gate to the Kingdom of Heaven; we are no longer condemned. Therefore, we can joyfully share the themes of our《今日灵粮 Spiritual FOOD TODAY》 without worrying that our sins will not be forgiven, because "Jesus Has Broken the Power of Death for All Who Believe in Him."
