保祿寫道:我們該脫去黑暗的行為,穿上主耶穌基督。 (羅 13:11-14)
11-14But make sure that you don't get so absorbed and exhausted in taking care of all your day-by-day obligations that you lose track of the time and doze off, oblivious to God. The night is about over, dawn is about to break. Be up and awake to what God is doing! God is putting the finishing touches on the salvation work he began when we first believed. We can't afford to waste a minute, must not squander these precious daylight hours in frivolity and indulgence, in sleeping around and dissipation, in bickering and grabbing everything in sight. Get out of bed and get dressed! Don't loiter and linger, waiting until the very last minute. Dress yourselves in Christ, and be up and about!
我們脫下的,和穿上的,性質有根本上的不同。
脫去的是行為,穿上的是神。 why?
我們不是穿上基督的行為;
也不是基督的性情,品格;
而是基督。
就是說,
我們不只是在外表上模仿祂,或靠對祂的認識來有樣學樣。
聖經把這些go deeper
我們穿上基督
這可是一個關於聯合的課題,而多過「榜樣」。
榜樣還是一個他者(other),但聯合是另一回事了。
