A SURVEY OF OUR SAVIOUR IN HIS SOUL-SUFFERING, HIS LOVELINESS IN HIS DEATH, AND THE EFFICACY THEREOF. IN WHICH SOME CASES OF SOUL-TROUBLE IN WEAK BELIEVERS, GROUNDS OF SUBMISSION UNDER THE ABSENCE OF CHRIST, WITH THE FLOWINGS AND HEIGHTENINGS OF FREE GRACE, ARE OPENED. DELIVERED IN SERMONS ON THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO JOHN, CHAP. 12 ver. 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33.我们救主在他的灵魂痛苦中的调查，他在他的死亡中的美丽，以及其功效。其中一些虚弱信徒的灵魂困扰情况，基于对基督缺席的顺从的基础，以及自由恩典的流动和提高，都被揭示。在约翰福音第 12 章 27、28、29、30、31、32、33 节的讲道中传达。
“Christ Dying, and Drawing Sinners to Himself” by Samuel Rutherford is a deep exploration of the sufferings of Christ, His incomparable beauty in death, and the potent impact of His sacrifice. The sermons, based on John 12:27-33, consider the soul’s struggles, submission in Christ’s absence, and the abundant grace of God. Rutherford addresses contemporary theological errors, defending the Protestant doctrine against Arminianism, which advocates the universal redemption of all mankind, and against certain methods of irresistible conversion and the nature of required faith.
塞缪尔·拉瑟福德的《基督的受死与吸引罪人来自己这里》深入探讨了基督的受苦、他在死中无与伦比的美丽以及他牺牲的强大影响。这些讲道基于约翰福音 12:27-33，考虑了灵魂的挣扎、在基督不在身旁时的顺从，以及上帝丰富的恩典。拉瑟福德反驳了当代的神学错误，捍卫了新教义对亚米念主义的立场，该主义主张所有人类的普遍救赎，以及某些不可抗拒的变化方式和所需信仰的性质。
In his writings, Rutherford emphasizes the inadequacy of human language to fully encapsulate the glory and majesty of Jesus Christ. He highlights the struggle of even the most eloquent and knowledgeable individuals, including himself, to adequately describe the Savior’s virtues and loveliness. Despite the abundance of literature on Christ—sermons, books, and theological treatises—Rutherford suggests that humanity has barely scratched the surface of comprehending Christ’s true essence.
在他的著作中，拉瑟福德强调人类语言无法完全概括耶稣基督的荣耀和威严。他强调即使是最雄辩和博学的人，包括他自己，也难以充分描述救主的美德和可爱。尽管有关基督的文献丰富——讲道、书籍和神学论文——拉瑟福德认为人类几乎只是触及到了理解基督真正本质的表面。
Rutherford criticizes the superficial and speculative writings about Christ by some theologians, contrasting their focus on trivial details with the profound spiritual connection and understanding of Christ expressed in the Song of Solomon. He acknowledges the fullness and richness of grace in Christ but argues that the totality of this grace may not be fully realized in this life. He points out the flaws in the teachings of the Antinomians, particularly their understanding of perfection and sanctification, and emphasizes the eternal nature of our indebtedness to Christ for His sacrifice.
拉瑟福德批评了一些神学家对基督的肤浅和投机的写作，将他们对琐碎细节的关注与《雅歌》中表达的对基督的深刻的灵性联系和理解进行了对比。他承认基督中的恩典的丰满和丰富，但认为这种恩典的完全可能在此生中无法完全实现。他指出了反法定主义者教义中的缺陷，特别是他们对完美和成圣的理解，并强调我们对基督的牺牲所负的永恒债务。
The text also touches upon the transformative power of Christ’s grace, which is inexhaustible and eternally refreshing. Rutherford encourages a life deeply rooted in Christ, highlighting the immediate proximity of believers to heavenly glory and the unity between Christ and His followers. He marvels at the vast and infinite aspects of Christ that remain unseen and beyond comprehension, emphasizing the eternal joy of exploring the depths of Christ’s grace and love.
这段文字也触及到基督恩典的转化力量，这种力量是无穷无尽且永恒的。拉瑟福鼓励人们过着深深扎根于基督的生活，强调信徒与天国荣耀的直接亲近和基督与他的追随者之间的团结。他对基督的广阔和无穷的方面感到惊叹，这些方面依旧是无法见到和理解的，并强调探寻基督恩典和爱的深度会带来永恒的喜乐。
Furthermore, Rutherford points out the paradoxical role of sin in God’s plan, acknowledging that while God does not need sin, its existence sets the stage for the manifestation of God’s grace and the redemption through Christ. He celebrates the unsearchable riches of Christ’s grace, which turn even the most sinful souls into paradises of eternal joy and glory.
此外，拉瑟福德指出罪在上帝的计划中扮演着矛盾的角色，承认虽然上帝不需要罪，但罪的存在为上帝的恩典显现和通过基督的救赎铺平了道路。他赞美基督恩典的无法探究的丰富，即使是最罪孽深重的灵魂也能成为永恒喜乐和荣耀的天堂。
Rutherford concludes by warning against the dangers of either diminishing the role of Christ’s grace or overemphasizing human free will. He advocates for a balanced understanding of the gospel, recognizing the vital role of both law and grace in Christian life. He calls for steadfastness in the truth and guidance towards eternal glory through Christ, the true way, truth, and life.
卢瑟福德警告说，要么减少基督恩典的作用，要么过分强调人的自由意志都是危险的。他主张对福音有一个平衡的理解，承认律法和恩典在基督徒生活中的重要作用。他呼吁坚定地追求真理，并通过基督，真正的道路、真理和生命，引导人们走向永恒的荣耀。
