新的開始
惟有基督在我們還作罪人的時候為我們死。—羅馬書5章8節
「你的罪也使耶穌被釘十字架嗎?」荷蘭畫家林布蘭於1633年的畫作《豎起十字架》,似乎提出了這個問題。在畫中,耶穌位於正中央,祂的十字架正要被舉起放置。抬十字架的有四個人,但在耶穌周圍的光線中,有一個人特別顯眼。他的衣著與眾不同,身穿林布蘭當代風格的服飾,戴著林布蘭經常戴的帽子。仔細觀察這人的臉,就會發現林布蘭將自己融入畫中,彷彿在說:「我的罪也導致耶穌受死。」
但還有另一個人物也很突出。這人騎在馬背上,似乎直視著你。有些人認為這是林布蘭再次入畫,以一種心領神會的眼神注視著所有看畫的人,似乎在問:「你不也在這裡嗎?」
使徒保羅看見自己就在那裡,你我也同樣在那裡,因耶穌也為我們受難、受死。在羅馬書5章10節,使徒保羅將自己和我們稱為上帝的「仇敵」。然而,即便我們的罪導致耶穌受死,祂的死卻使我們與上帝和好:「惟有基督在我們還作罪人的時候為我們死,上帝的愛就在此向我們顯明了。」(8節)
我們與林布蘭、使徒保羅一樣,都是需要被赦免的罪人。透過耶穌被釘十架,祂為我們成就了我們永遠無法為自己做成的事,並且滿足我們最深的需要:與上帝有一個新的開始。
反思和禱告
今天,你如何成為祂的朋友?
A New Beginning with God
While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
“Did your sin also put Jesus on the cross?” That’s the question Dutch painter Rembrandt seems to be asking in his 1633 masterpiece, The Raising of the Cross. Jesus appears in the center of the picture as His cross is lifted and put in place. Four men are doing the lifting, but one stands out in the light surrounding Jesus. His clothing is different; he’s dressed in the style of Rembrandt’s day, wearing a cap the painter often wore. A closer look at his face reveals that Rembrandt has put himself into the painting, as if to say, “My sins had a part in Jesus’ death.”
But there’s another who also stands out. He’s on horseback, looking directly out of the painting. Some see this as a second self-portrait by Rembrandt, engaging all who observe with a knowing glance that seems to ask, “Aren’t you here too?”
Paul saw himself there, and we may also, because Jesus suffered and died for us as well. In Romans 5:10, he refers to himself and us as “God’s enemies.” But even though our sins caused Jesus’ death, His death reconciles us to God: “God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (v. 8).
We stand with both Rembrandt and Paul: sinners in need of forgiveness. Through His cross, Jesus offers us what we could never do for ourselves and meets our deepest need: a new beginning with God.
Reflect & Pray
How were you once God’s enemy? In what ways can you live as His friend today?
Dear Jesus, thank You for giving Yourself for me. Please help me to live in Your love today.
