双语灵修（葛培理牧师）：4月8日 人性未变

4月8日：

人性未变

看哪，神的羔羊，除去世人罪孽的。

——约1:29

在基督的十字架上，罪恶达到了顶点。它最可怕的展现发生在加略山上，那时的罪恶从未如此黑暗、丑陋。我们看到人类的内心被彻底揭露，其腐败被完全暴露出来。

有人说，自那天以来，人类已经进步了，如果基督在现今的世代到来，他不会被钉十字架，而是会受到荣耀的欢迎。然而，基督每天都以不同的形式来到我们身边——在我们不去阅读的《圣经》里，在我们不去参加的聚会中，在我们视而不见的人们的需求时。

我深信，如果基督在现今的世代到来，祂会比两千年前更快地被钉上十字架。罪恶从未改善，人性也未曾改变。

今日祷告：

天父，除去我里面的那些会使耶稣被重钉十字架的思想和行为。奉耶稣的名，阿们。

Unchanging Human Nature

Look!There is the Lamb of God who takes away the world’s sin.
—John 1:29(TLB)

At the cross of Christ,sin reached its climax.Its most terrible display took place at Calvary.It was never blacker or more hideous.We see the human heart laid bare and its corruption fully exposed.Some people have said that man has improved since that day,that if Christ came back today,He would not be crucified but would be given a glorious reception.Christ does come to us every day in the form of Bibles that we do not read,in the form of churches that we do not attend,in the form of human need that we pass by.I am convinced that if Christ came back today,He would be crucified more quickly than He was two thousand years ago.Sin never improves.Human nature has not changed.

Prayer for the day：

Father,take away my thoughts and deeds that crucify Jesus afresh.In Jesus’name,Amen.
