一個奇妙人物的誕生

請我們先禱告

主，我們再頌揚你。在素質一面你是神聖三一的第二者，但在經綸一面，你首先成為肉體，然後成了賜生命的靈，如今你乃是七倍加強的靈。我們讚美你！

詩歌:74♫

	聽阿，天使贊高聲，	頌揚救主今誕生！
	“榮耀在天歸與神，	平安在地臨及人。”
	興起！地上眾生靈，	響應天上讚美聲；
	天唱地和樂歡騰，	基督誕生大衛城。
	天唱地和樂歡騰，	基督誕生大衛城。

今日經節及註解  路四14～44
重點經節
路1:32路1:33路1:34路1:35	祂要為大，稱為至高者的兒子，主神要把祂祖大衛的寶座給祂， 祂要作雅各家的王，直到永遠，祂的國也沒有窮盡。 馬利亞對天使說，我沒有出嫁，怎麼會有這事？ 天使回答說，聖靈要臨到你身上，至高者的能力要覆庇你，因此所要生的聖者，必稱為神的兒子。

生命供應

我們需要看見主耶穌是人救主。這位人救主由帶着神聖素質的聖靈成孕。路加記載這一位的生平時，也記載了祂的成孕，這和別的傳記不同。別的傳記也許會說到人的出生，但不會說到人的成孕。在這件事上，路加是獨特的。他告訴我們，人救主是怎樣成孕的。祂不是由人成孕，乃是由帶着神聖素質的聖靈成孕的。 因着人救主由帶着神聖素質的聖靈成孕，並由帶着屬人素質的童女所生，所以祂有兩種素質，神聖的素質與屬人的素質。在祂身上，有神聖素質與屬人素質的調和。 我們與人救主形成對比，我們只有一種素質－屬人的素質，因為我們是由男人成孕，由女人所生。我們的救主不一樣，因為祂是由聖靈成孕，由童女所生。聖靈有神聖的素質，而童女有屬人的素質。 我們贊同“韋氏辭典”給調和這辭的第一個定義：調和－“結合或聯合（一物和另一物，或兩個或兩個以上的東西在一起），特別是要使原初的元素在結合中可以區別。” 我們可以用茶作為調和的例證。當茶與水調和為飲料時，茶的素質與水的素質都沒有失去；反之，兩種素質都還存在。這兩種素質調和在一起，產生一種飲料，卻沒有產生第三種性質，一種既不是茶，也不是水的東西。 我們的救主由神聖的素質成孕，由屬人的素質所生。因此，祂這個人有兩種素質－神聖的素質與屬人的素質－調和在一起，並不產生第三種性質。雖然主有兩種素質，祂還是單一完整的人位，祂是神又是人。（路加福音生命讀經，五至八頁。）

問答:

1、 基督的成肉體意義為何？（參讀 路一35注3，第一段）     2、 基督如何像清晨的日光從高天臨到我們？（參讀 路一78注1。）     3、 我們該如何宣揚禧年？（參讀 路四18～19，19注1）

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)
