一个奇妙人物的诞生

请我们先祷告

主，我们再颂扬你。在素质一面你是神圣三一的第二者，但在经纶一面，你首先成为肉体，然后成了赐生命的灵，如今你乃是七倍加强的灵。我们赞美你！

诗歌:74♫

	听阿，天使赞高声，	颂扬救主今诞生！
	“荣耀在天归与神，	平安在地临及人。”
	兴起！地上众生灵，	响应天上赞美声；
	天唱地和乐欢腾，	基督诞生大卫城。
	天唱地和乐欢腾，	基督诞生大卫城。

路1:32路1:33路1:34路1:35	祂要为大，称为至高者的儿子，主神要把祂祖大卫的宝座给祂， 祂要作雅各家的王，直到永远，祂的国也没有穷尽。 马利亚对天使说，我没有出嫁，怎么会有这事？ 天使回答说，圣灵要临到你身上，至高者的能力要覆庇你，因此所要生的圣者，必称为神的儿子。

生命供应

我们需要看见主耶稣是人救主。这位人救主由带着神圣素质的圣灵成孕。路加记载这一位的生平时，也记载了祂的成孕，这和别的传记不同。别的传记也许会说到人的出生，但不会说到人的成孕。在这件事上，路加是独特的。他告诉我们，人救主是怎样成孕的。祂不是由人成孕，乃是由带着神圣素质的圣灵成孕的。 因着人救主由带着神圣素质的圣灵成孕，并由带着属人素质的童女所生，所以祂有两种素质，神圣的素质与属人的素质。在祂身上，有神圣素质与属人素质的调和。 我们与人救主形成对比，我们只有一种素质－属人的素质，因为我们是由男人成孕，由女人所生。我们的救主不一样，因为祂是由圣灵成孕，由童女所生。圣灵有神圣的素质，而童女有属人的素质。 我们赞同“韦氏辞典”给调和这辞的第一个定义：调和－“结合或联合（一物和另一物，或两个或两个以上的东西在一起），特别是要使原初的元素在结合中可以区别。” 我们可以用茶作为调和的例证。当茶与水调和为饮料时，茶的素质与水的素质都没有失去；反之，两种素质都还存在。这两种素质调和在一起，产生一种饮料，却没有产生第三种性质，一种既不是茶，也不是水的东西。 我们的救主由神圣的素质成孕，由属人的素质所生。因此，祂这个人有两种素质－神圣的素质与属人的素质－调和在一起，并不产生第三种性质。虽然主有两种素质，祂还是单一完整的人位，祂是神又是人。（路加福音生命读经，五至八页。）

问答:

1、 基督的成肉体意义为何？（参读 路一35注3，第一段）     2、 基督如何像清晨的日光从高天临到我们？（参读 路一78注1。）     3、 我们该如何宣扬禧年？（参读 路四18～19，19注1）

明天:主呼召我们作得人的渔夫

The Birth of a Wonderful Person

Let's Pray:

Lord, we extol You again. Essentially You are the second One of the Trinity, yet economically You first became flesh, then You became the life-giving Spirit, How we worship You!

Hymn:84

Hark! the herald angels sing, “Glory to the new-born King; Peace on earth, and mercy mild; God and sinners reconciled.“ Joyful, all ye nations, rise, Join the triumph of the skies; With angelic hosts proclaim,“ Christ is born in Bethlehem.“ (Repeat the last two lines of the stanza)

Today's Verses and Footnotes:     Luke 4:14-44
Key Verse:
Luke 1:32	He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give to Him the throne of David His father,
Luke 1:33	And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.
Luke 1:34	But Mary said to the angel, How will this be, since I have not known a man?
Luke 1:35	And the angel answered and said to her, The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore also the holy thing which is born will be called the Son of God.

Life Supply:

We need to see that the Lord Jesus is the Man-Savior. As the Man-Savior, He was conceived of the Holy Spirit with the divine essence. Unlike other biographies, Luke records the conception of the one whose life he records. Other biographies may speak of a person’s birth, but not his conception. In this matter, Luke is unique. He tells us how the Man-Savior was conceived. He was not conceived of a man; rather, He was conceived of the Holy Spirit with the divine essence. Because the Man-Savior was conceived of the Holy Spirit with the divine essence and was born of a human virgin with the human essence, He has two essences, the divine and the human. With Him there is the mingling of the divine essence with the human essence. In contrast to the Man-Savior, we have only one essence, the human essence, for we were conceived of man and born of woman. Our Savior is different, for He was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of a human virgin. With the Holy Spirit there is the divine essence, and with the human virgin there is the human essence. We agree with the first definition of this word given in Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary: mingle—”to combine or join (one thing with another, or two or more things together), especially so that the original elements are distinguishable in the combination.” According to this definition, when two or more things are mingled together, their original natures are not lost but remain distinguishable. We may use tea as an illustration of mingling. When tea is mingled with water to make a beverage, neither the essence of tea nor the essence of water is lost. Instead, both essences remain. These two essences mingle together to produce a beverage, but they do not produce a third nature, something which is neither tea nor water. Our Savior was conceived of the divine essence and born of the human essence. Therefore, He is a Person with two essences–the divine and the human–mingled together without a third nature being produced. Although the Lord has two essences, He is still a single complete Person, One who is both God and man. (Life-Study of Luke, pp. 4-6)

Questions:

1.       What is the significance of Christ's incarnation? (See Luke 1:35 note 2)

2.       How does Christ reach us from on high like the rising sun? (See Luke 1:78 note 1)

3.       How should we proclaim the year of jubilee? (See Luke 4:18-19 and 19 note 1)
