对今日诗句的想法
这就是好消息！如果我们已经与基督同死，那就已经经历了唯一真正与生命相关的死亡。我们的生命已经与主联合，使我们能够当主再来时得享主的荣耀(歌罗西书3:1-4)。因为我们已经靠着主耶稣基督战胜了死亡(哥林多前书15:55-57)，所以即便是死亡也无法将我们与神隔绝(罗马书8:35-39)。我们不必再惧怕第二次死亡(启示录2:11;20:6)，因为我们已经出死入生了(约翰福音5:24)！
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
So, here's the great news: if we have died with Christ through faith and baptism, we've already died the one death that really matters. Our lives are joined with Jesus' life, so we can be confident that we will share in the Lord's glory when he returns (Colossians 3:1-4). Even death cannot separate us from Jesus' presence in our lives (Romans 8:35-39) because we have been given the victory over death through Christ Jesus our Lord (1 Corinthians 15:55-57). We do not have to fear the future judgment or the second death because we have already passed over from death into life (John 5:24). As Paul so confidently states, "We will certainly also be united with [Jesus] in his resurrection"!
我的祷告
谁能救我脱离这取死的身体呢？感谢神！——靠着我们的主耶稣基督就能脱离了！阿们！(罗马书7:24-25)
My Prayer...
Paul exclaimed with a prayer we can repeat: "Who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to God — through Jesus Christ our Lord!" Thanks be to God for this gift too wonderful for words to describe or our mortal lives to limit! Amen, and hallelujah! (Romans 7:24-25)
