双语灵修（葛培理牧师）：3月24日 圣哉圣哉

圣哉圣哉

“圣哉！圣哉！圣哉！万军之耶和华；他的荣光充满全地！”

以赛亚书6:3

圣经告诉我们，神是圣洁，没有瑕疵、完美、完全的。从创世记到启示录，神显明自己是圣洁的神。神如此圣洁，祂不能忍受罪，甚至不能看见罪。

正因为神的圣洁，在主耶稣基督背负全人类的罪走向各各他的时候，神转脸不看他。这是三位一体真神在永恒合一中唯一的一次圣父与圣子之间的关系破裂。

耶稣基督在十字架上呼喊：“我的神，我的神，为什么离弃我？”这是一个多么令人恐惧又可怕的时刻，因为人类罪孽的黑暗使父神厌恶地转身离去。然而，当基督以圣洁无罪之身担当了我们因罪而应受的一切惩罚时，那又是一个多么荣耀的时刻啊！

现在，神要求我们像他一样的圣洁。我们如何才能圣洁呢？当我们接受耶稣基督为救主，他进入到我们的内心和生命里，洁净我们的罪，住在我们里面。那时起，我们开始成长成为基督的样式（神学家们把这个过程叫做“成圣”）。而且我们也继续成长，直到我们与基督在一起接受我们荣耀身体的那一刻。

我们何等感恩，是基督使这一切成为可能！

今日祷告：

父啊，你是圣洁的、万军之耶和华。全地都充满了你的荣耀。我们要在全地荣耀你的名，因为你配得赞美，直到永永远远；奉耶稣的名，阿门。

HOLY,HOLY,HOLY

Holy,holy,holy,is the Lord of hosts:the whole earth is full of his glory.Isaiah 6:3

The Bible teaches that God is holy,without fault,perfect,and complete.From Genesis to Revelation,God reveals Himself as a holy God.He is so holy that He cannot endure sin,cannot even look upon it.

It was God’s holiness that caused Him to turn His back when the Lord Jesus Christ took upon Himself the sin of the entire world at Calvary.It was the only time in the eternal unity of the Trinity that God the Father and God the Son had a rupture in their relationship.

Christ cried out on the cross,“My God,my God,why hast Thou forsaken me?”What a terribly frightening and horrible moment that was as the blackness of man’s sin caused the Father to turn away in disgust.Yet what a glorious moment it was as Christ took upon His holy and sinless self all of the penalty that should be ours because of our sinfulness.

And now,God commands us to be holy as He is.But how can we be holy?When we accept Jesus Christ as our Savior,He comes into our hearts and lives,cleanses us from sin,and makes a home in us.At that moment we begin to grow into the likeness of Christ(theologians call the process“sanctification”),and we continue to grow until that moment when we go to be with Christ and receive our glorified bodies.

How thankful we should be that it was Christ who made all of this possible!

Pray for the Day:

Father,You are holy,and You are the Lord of Hosts.And the whole earth is full of Your glory.Glorify You Name in all the earth,for You are worthy of praise forever and ever;in Jesus’Name,Amen.
