【双语灵修】人子SON OF MAN

马可福音 14:53-65

他们把耶稣带到大祭司那里,又有众祭司长和长老并文士都来和大祭司一同聚集。彼得远远地跟着耶稣,一直进入大祭司的院里,和差役一同坐在火光里烤火。祭司长和全公会寻找见证控告耶稣,要治死他,却寻不着。因为有好些人作假见证告他,只是他们的见证各不相合。又有几个人站起来作假见证告他,说:“我们听见他说:‘我要拆毁这人手所造的殿,三日内就另造一座不是人手所造的。’”他们就是这么作见证,也是各不相合。大祭司起来站在中间,问耶稣说:“你什么都不回答吗?这些人作见证告你的是什么呢?”耶稣却不言语,一句也不回答。大祭司又问他说:“你是那当称颂者的儿子基督不是?”耶稣说:“我是。你们必看见人子坐在那权能者的右边,驾着天上的云降临。”大祭司就撕开衣服,说:“我们何必再用见证人呢?你们已经听见他这僭妄的话了。你们的意见如何?”他们都定他该死的罪。就有人吐唾沫在他脸上,又蒙着他的脸,用拳头打他,对他说:“你说预言吧!”差役接过他来,用手掌打他。

人子

“耶稣说:‘我是。你们必看见人子坐在那权能者的右边……’” - 马可福音 14:62

耶稣常用“人子”这个称呼来指自己。

这个称呼是什么意思呢?从表面看,“人子”似乎不难理解。这个名字表明耶稣是一个人。但对耶稣来说,这个名字有着更深层、更重大的含义。

在旧约中,先知但以理描述了一个异象,他看见一位“像人子的”驾着“天云”而来。那人进到神面前,得了“权柄、荣耀、国度,使各方、各国、各族的人都事奉他。他的权柄是永远的……他的国必不败坏”(《但以理书》7:13-14)。

耶稣在当时的宗教领袖面前受审,大祭司问祂:“你是那当称颂者的儿子基督不是?”耶稣将但以理的异象应用在自己身上,说:“我是。你们必看见人子坐在那大能者的右边,驾着天上的云降临”(《马可福音》14:62)。

哇!“人子”这个名字向我们表明,耶稣分担了我们的人性—祂也会擦伤膝盖、有指纹和肚脐—同时祂也是拥有一切能力和权柄的那一位(见《马太福音》28:18)。

耶稣,这位人子,既是完全的人,也是完全的神—祂是全人类的救主和主宰!

祷告

主耶稣,谁能与你相比?我们举心仰望你。愿我们忠心尊崇并敬拜你。奉你的名祈求,阿们。

Mark 14:53-65

SON OF MAN

“I am,” said Jesus. “And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One. . . .” —Mark 14:62

Jesus often used the name “Son of Man” to refer to himself.

What does this name mean?

On the surface, “Son of Man” seems simple enough to understand. This name shows that Jesus is a human being. But for Jesus this name had a meaning that pointed to something deeper and bigger.

In the Old Testament the prophet Daniel describes a vision in which he saw a “son of man” who came “with the clouds of heaven.” That person went into God’s presence and received “authority, glory and sovereign power; all nations and peoples of every language worshiped him. His dominion is . . . everlasting . . . and his kingdom . . . will never be destroyed” (Daniel 7:13-14).

And when Jesus stood on trial before the religious rulers of his day, and the high priest asked him, “Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One?” Jesus applied Daniel’s vision to himself, saying: “I am. . . . And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven” (Mark 14:62).

Wow! The name “Son of Man” shows us that Jesus shares our humanity—with our scraped knees, fingerprints, and belly buttons—and that he is also the One with all power and authority (see Matthew 28:18).

Jesus, the Son of Man, is fully human and fully God—Savior and Lord of all!

Who is like you, Lord Jesus? We lift up our hearts to you. May we honor and worship you faithfully. In your name, Amen.
