A book full of Christ!
基督充满的一本书!
(J.C. Ryle)
(J.C. 莱尔)
“Everything must be fulfilled that is written about Me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms.” Luke 24:44
“摩西的律法、先知的书和诗篇上所记载关于我的一切事,都必须应验。” 路加福音24:44
We have probably little idea how much deep truth is contained in the book of Psalms. No part of the Bible perhaps is better known in the letter-and none so little understood in the spirit. We err greatly if we suppose that it is nothing but a record of David’s feelings, of David’s experience, David’s praises, and David’s prayers.
我们可能很少意识到诗篇中包含了多少深奥的真理。圣经中没有哪一部分在字面上更为人所熟知,却在灵里如此少被理解。如果我们认为这仅仅是大卫的感受、大卫的经历、大卫的赞美和大卫的祷告的记录,那就大错特错了。
The hand that held the pen was generally David’s. But the subject matter was often something far deeper and higher than the history of the son of Jesse.
执笔的手通常是大卫的,但其内容往往比耶西之子的历史更为深邃和崇高。
The book of Psalms, in a word, is a book full of Christ:
简而言之,诗篇是一本充满基督的书:
Christ in humiliation,
基督的降卑,
Christ suffering,
基督的受苦,
Christ dying,
基督的受死,
Christ rising again,
基督的复活,
Christ coming the second time,
基督的再来,
Christ reigning over all.
基督统管万有。
Both of Christ’s advents are here: His coming in suffering to bear the cross-and His second coming in power to wear the crown.
基督的两次降临都在这里:祂第一次降临受苦背十字架,祂第二次降临大有能力戴上冠冕。
Both of Christ’s kingdoms are here-His kingdom of grace, during which the elect are gathered-and His kingdom of glory, when every tongue shall confess that Jesus is Lord.
基督的两个国度都在这里——恩典的国度,就是召聚选民的时期,以及荣耀的国度,就是万口承认耶稣是主的时候。
Let us always read the Psalms with a peculiar reverence. Let us say to ourselves as we read, “A greater than David is here!”
让我们always以特别的敬意阅读诗篇。让我们在阅读时对自己说:”这里有一位比大卫更大的!”
