Lesson 6
The Humiliation of Christ
Lord's Day 14 - 16
The humiliation of Christ
After discussing the names of the Mediator, the instructor now deals with
the states. "States" refer to the relationship with God. Lord's Days 14, 15
and 16 deal with the state of humiliation, which is divided into degrees. "
Degrees" view the ever-deepening process of Christ's suffering. Over against
this progressive humiliation, there is also a progressive exaltation.

"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the F
ather, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:"
Problem:
Since the passage mentions the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit this is
taken to mean that the one God exists in three divine Persons.
Solution:
This passage makes no mention of the alleged co-eternity, co-equality or co-
substance so hard pressed by the trinitarian.
The baptismal formula given here by Jesus is unique by naming the Father, So

弟兄们，你们蒙召，是要得自由。只是不可将你们的自由当作放纵情欲的机会。总要用
爱心互相服事。
You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to
indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love.

因为全律法都包在爱人如己这一句话之内了。
The entire law is summed up in a single command: "Love your neighbor as
yourself."

你们要谨慎。若相咬相吞，只怕要彼此消灭了。
If you keep on biting and devouring each other, watch out or you will be
destroyed by each other.

圣经中的修辞手法
——摘自《基础解经法》苏克博士著
一九三七年，一位格拉斯哥大学的英国文学教授麦克尼尔狄克逊（W. MacNeile Dixon）
说：
若有人问我造成人类历史最大的力量为何……我会回答……修辞表达。人类是靠想像力
生存的；想像支配了我们一切的生活。人类的脑袋，并非如哲学家所表现的，像一个辩
论厅；而是像一个画廊……若将比喻（修辞表达的一种）自圣经中除去，圣经的活力则
随之消失……先知、诗人、领袖，都是运用比喻的高手，他们藉著形象化的描写掠夺人
类的心灵。圣经包括了数以百计的修辞手法，布林格（E。w。 Bullin。ger）将圣经中
的修辞归纳出二百多种，举了八千多个例子，二百多种修辞的目录长达二十八页！
一、什么是修辞手法？
文法指出字的一般功用；然而，有时讲者或作者故意违反这些文法，用新的形式来表达
，此为修辞手法。布林格写道：「修辞手法是以特别的方式运用字句，与原来简单的意
思及用法有所不同。」我们若说：「雨下得很大」，这说法既平淡又普通。但若说：「

前言
读经：（加5：20，弗4：14，彼后2：1）
我们知道，在使徒时代就有异端：我们也知道，历代都有异端。但有很多人忽略了末世
的异端。原来未世异端峰起，越来越多。因为撒但知道他的时日无多，所以到处搞异端
。
凡离开圣经真理的就是异端。比异端轻的叫“极端”，比异端重的就是“邪教”。凡是
异端都是打着基督教的旗号，说他们是基督教，而且说，唯有他们才是“正统”，各人
必须跟他们走才能得救。他们排斥一切的宗派。邪教我们容易防，因为他们不是基督教
。但异端说他们是正统基督教，这就难防了。他们也讲圣经，使人难以分辨真假。
关于历世历代的异端，特别是美国的异端，许多人都写书评论。也有不少人讲道，提到
异端的危险，劝人要谨防。
我们所着重的不是国外的异端，我们只能略提，我们所着重也不是历世的异端，我们要
强调的是“末世的异端”，特别是末世国内的异端。

recoils at the very suggestion. “God forbid!”, he exclaims. How could a
holy God be satisfied to have unholy, sin-fettered children? And so “how
shall we any longer live therein?” (Romans 6:1, 2). God has surely
therefore made adequat... 阅读全帖 |

发帖数: 5754 | 46 chapter 4.4 Abiding In Him
Now although we have already spent long on this matter, there is a further
thing that may help to make it clearer to us. the Scriptures declare that we
are “dead indeed”, but nowhere do they say that we are dead in ourselves.
We shall look in vain to find death within; that is just the place where it
is not to be found. We are dead not in ourselves but in Christ. We were
crucified with Him because we were in Him.
We are familiar with the words of the Lord Jesus, “Abide... 阅读全帖 |

发帖数: 5754 | 47 Chapter 5.1 Two Creations
Thus, in Satan’s hands, the first creation has become the old creation, and
God’s primary concern is now no longer with that but with a second and new
creation. He is bringing in a new creation, a new kingdom and a new world,
and nothing of the old creation, the old kingdom or the old world can be
transferred to the new. It is a question now of these two rival realms, and
of which realm we belong to.
The apostle Paul, of course, leaves us in no doubt as to which of thes... 阅读全帖 |

发帖数: 5754 | 48 chapter 9.3 Christ The End Of The Law
In Romans 6 we saw how God delivered us from sin; in Romans 7 we see how He

from sin in the picture of a master and his slave; in chapter 7 we are shown
the way of deliverance from the Law in the picture of two husbands and a
wife. The relation between sin and the sinner is that of master to slave;
the relation between the Law and the sinner is that of husband to wife.
Notice first t... 阅读全帖 |

发帖数: 5754 | 49 chapter 11.3 The Love Of Christ
Now we must have before us two passages of the Word, one from Genesis 2 and
one from Ephesians 5, which are of great importance in this connection.
“And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept;
and he took one of his ribs, which the Lord God had taken from the man, made
he a woman, and brought her unto the man. And the man said, This is now
bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman (Heb.
ishshah), because she wa... 阅读全帖 |

Of Church Censures
I. The Lord Jesus, as King and Head of his church, hath therein appointed a
government, in the hand of church officers, distinct from the civil magistra

II. To these officers the keys of the kingdom of heaven are committed; by vi
rtue whereof, they have power, respectively, to retain, and remit sins; to s
