1. Hello, listening friends.
亲爱的朋友，你好，

2. We welcome you to this second broadcast from Psalm 24.
欢迎你收听诗篇24篇下半部分的信息。

3. Do you know that there is a problem with many Christians, today?
你知道今天许多基督徒身上的问题是什么吗？

4. Many of them are living in the Old Testament.
他们中很多人仍生活在旧约时代。

5. Now, what do I mean by this?
我这么说是什么意思呢？

6. Let me explain.
让我来解释一下。

7. In the Old Testament,
在旧约时代，

8. the high priest is able to go into the Holy of Holies, once a year, on the Day of Atonement,
大祭司每年一次，在赎罪日进到至圣所里，

9. and, there, he offers the sacrifice -
他在那里献祭，

10. a sacrifice that is offered for the sins of God’s people for one year;
为神的子民一年当中所犯的罪献祭；

11. and, then, they have to go through the whole process all over again;
这个过程周而复始；

12. then, the following year;
下一年如此；

13. and, then, the following year.
再下一年还是如此。

14. Do you know why?
你知道为什么吗？

15. Because the blood of animal sacrifice can only cover the sins for one year;
因为祭牲的血只能遮盖一年的罪；

16. but those who are in Christ Jesus,
但今天那些在耶稣基督里的人，

17. those who have come to Him in humility and in brokenness,
那些知道自己破碎不堪，愿意谦卑地来到主面前的人，

18. those who have asked for God’s forgiveness --
那些曾呼求神赦免的人，

19. their sins are not merely covered for one year,
他们的罪不仅仅被遮盖一年，

20. but their sins have been blotted out forever.
而是被永远地抹去了。

21. They have been cleansed forever.
他们被永远地洁净了。

22. There is one thing that God cannot do,
有一件事神不会做，

23. and that is remember the sin of the truly repentant sinner.
就是牢牢记住那些真心悔改的人曾犯过的罪。

24. He cannot remember the sins of those who have come to Him through the Lord Jesus Christ;
祂不会记住通过主耶稣基督来到祂面前的人们的过犯；

25. those who have cried to Him, “Father, forgive me.”
那些人曾向祂呼求说：“父阿，请赦免我。”

26. Do you know why?
你知道其中的原因吗？

27. Because Jesus’ death on the cross was the payment for the penalty of your sin and my sin;
因为耶稣在十字架上的死已为你我的罪付上了赎价；

28. but there was something else in the Old Testament.
在旧约时代还有其他的要求。

29. In the Old Testament, in order for a person to be redeemed,
在旧约时代，一个人想要赎身，

30. he has to have a kinsman-redeemer.
必须是同族的亲戚才能代付赎价。

31. A kinsman-redeemer in the Old Testament had to have two qualifications.

32. First,
首先，

33. he has to be very wealthy,
他一定要非常富有，

34. so that he can make the payment of redeeming someone.
这样他才可能为别人付上赎金。

35. The second qualification
第二个条件，

36. is that he has to be related to the person who is being redeemed.
他一定要和那个被赎的人有亲属关系。

37. A stranger cannot just walk in and give you the ransom.

38. The ransom is only one part of it.
赎金只是一部分。

39. The other part is that he has to be related to you.
另一部分就是他必须和你有亲属关系。

40. Let me ask you a question.
我想请问你：

41. Who is richer than the Lord Jesus Christ?
谁能比主耶稣基督还富有呢？

42. Who is closer to us than the Lord Jesus Christ?
谁能比主耶稣基督与我们更亲呢？

43. Why do you think Jesus told His followers to call His Father, “Abba?”
你有没有想过，为什么耶稣让跟随祂的人称天父为，“阿爸”呢？

44. Is Jesus just trying to be courteous?
耶稣只是为了礼貌吗？

45. Is He making people feel good?
祂是为了让人们感觉良好吗？

46. No.
不是。

47. Jesus tells us to call His Father, “Abba,” because we have become His beloved children.
耶稣让我们称天父为“阿爸”，因为我们已成为祂所爱的孩子。

48. We are His by adoption and grace.
我们因着恩典成为被祂收养的孩子。

49. We have to be blood relatives of Jesus,

50. and we have to be beloved children in order that He may redeem us;
成为祂所爱的孩子才能得赎；

51. and you cannot get a closer relationship than a father.
再没有比父亲更亲近的了。

52. The Lord’s offer is the ultimate;
主给了我们一个最事关紧要的机会；

53. and, in Psalm 24, we see that the Lord’s overcoming is unavoidable.
同时，在诗篇24篇里，我们知道主的得胜是必然的。

54. No matter what goes on in this world,
无论这个世界发生了什么，

55. the Lord is going to overcome.
主必将得胜。

56. The ungodly may cause worldwide destruction,

57. but it doesn’t matter because the Lord will overcome.
但这已无关紧要，因为主必将得胜。

58. His overcoming is inevitable.
祂的得胜是必然的。

59. Five times, in the last three verses of Psalm 24,
在诗篇24篇最后3节中，有5次，

60. the Holy Spirit speaks of Christ as the King of Glory.
圣灵称基督为，荣耀的王。

61. This part of the Psalm should be exciting to all believers.

亲爱的朋友，我想请问你。

72. Do you know why there are so many lifeless Christians in the world today?
你知道在当今的时代里，为什么会有这么多缺乏灵命的基督徒吗？

73. The reason for this is that Jesus Christ is not the center of their lives.
原因就是，他们没有让耶稣基督成为自己生命的中心。

74. Jesus Christ is not the preoccupation of their minds and heart and soul;
耶稣基督没有在他们的理性及心灵上居首位；

75. and that is why they live lifeless lives.
因此他们的生命是死气沉沉的。

76. We have learned to envision a meek and lowly Jesus,

77. and we have forgotten that He is the conquering Jesus.

78. So many people confuse meekness with weakness.

79. Jesus was meek, but He is not weak.

认为复活的耶稣是软弱的，那是一种错觉。

82. It is a false image of the conquering Jesus.

83. The reason we have insipid churches,

84. and the reason we have insipid Christians,
之所以会有一些冷淡的基督徒，

85. is because we have forgotten something very important.
