The Way of the Cross: Stations 10-14 || 十字架之路：第十站到第十四站

This Spiritual Waimai is a part of a series entitled, “The Way of the Cross: The Road to Resurrection” where we retrace the steps of Jesus Christ from Gethsemane to Golgotha.

 这期属灵外卖是“十字架之路:复活之路”系列的一部分，我们追溯耶稣基督从客西马尼到各各他的脚步。

 

For centuries, Christian pilgrims from around the world have traveled to Jerusalem to walk the “Via Dolorosa” or the Way of the Cross. It is the reenactment of the journey Jesus took from Gethsemane through the streets of Old Jerusalem to the place where it is believed that Jesus was crucified. For the faithful who are not able to make the physical trip to Jerusalem, some churches around the world have recreated the Way of the Cross in their sanctuaries with a guided meditation of scripture and traditionally accompanied by art depicting the scenes from the Bible.

许多世纪以来，来自世界各地的基督徒朝圣者会来到耶路撒冷，走”苦路”或”十字架之路”。在这条路上，耶稣从客西马尼穿过古老的耶稣撒冷街道，来到人们相信祂被钉十字架的地方。为了那些无法亲自旅行到耶路撒冷的信徒，世界各地的教堂在自己的圣所里重现”十架之路“，且传统上会辅以引导性的经文默想和描绘《圣经》场景的艺术作品。

Now will complete journey through Stations of the Way of the Cross with stations 10 – 14. Here our Lord is crucified, He breaths His last breath and He is buried. Let us listen with our hearts to the powerful words of scripture and may the inspired paintings of French artist James Tissot lead us to worship our Savior.

现在从第十站到第十四站，我们将走完“十字架之路”。在这里我们的主被钉十字架。祂呼出了最后一口气息，也被埋葬。让我们用心来聆听圣经中有力的文字，也希望法国艺术家詹姆斯天梭（James Tissot）启发性的绘画带领我们敬拜我们的救主。

Station 10: Jesus is Crucified
第十站:耶稣被钉十字架

When they came to the place called the Skull, they crucified him there, along with the criminals—one on his right, the other on his left. Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided up his clothes by casting lots. Luke 23:33-34

 

到了一个地方，名叫髑髅地，就在那里把耶稣钉在十字架上。又钉了两个犯人：一个在左边，一个在右边。当下耶稣说：“父啊，赦免他们！因为他们所作的，他们不晓得。”兵丁就拈阄分他的衣服。路加福音 23:33-34

The Raising of the Cross
James Tissot詹姆斯天梭

 

While the nails were driven through His hands and feet, forgiveness was on His mind. As His blood began to flow from His hands, did His mind turn to the last meal He had eaten where He held in His hand the cup of wine and declared,

当钉子被刺穿在祂的手和脚时，祂想到的是赦免；当血从祂的手掌流出时，祂想到最后的晚餐时祂用手举起杯中的酒说：

This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
Matthew 26:28 NIV

 

因为这是我立约的血，为多人流出来，使罪得赦。马太福音 26:28

Dear Father, thank you for compassionately offering me forgiveness for the sin that I don’t even recognize. This seems to be a double sin of sorts – the sin of sinning and the sin of not even realizing I am participating in sin. Oh Lord, what a wretched person I am! Who will save me? Thanks be to God who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord! (Romans 7:24-25)

亲爱的天父，感谢你满有恩典地赦免我都未觉察的罪。似乎有两种罪：一种明知故犯的罪，一种我都没意识到我在犯的罪。主啊，我真是苦啊！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！（罗马书7:24-25）

Station 11: Jesus Promises His Kingdom to the Good Thief
第十一站:耶稣把祂的国许诺给好强盗

One of the criminals who hung there kept deriding him and saying, “Are you not the Messiah? Save yourself and us!”  But the other rebuked him, saying, “Do you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation?  And we indeed have been condemned justly, for we are getting what we deserve for our deeds, but this man has done nothing wrong.”  Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.”  He replied, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise.”
Luke 23:39-43

 

那同钉的两个犯人，有一个讥诮他说：“你不是基督吗？可以救自己和我们吧！” 那一个就应声责备他说：“你既是一样受刑的，还不怕　神吗？我们是应该的，因我们所受的与我们所作的相称，但这个人没有作过一件不好的事。” 就说：“耶稣啊，你得国降临的时候，求你记念我！” 耶稣对他说：“我实在告诉你：今日你要同我在乐园里了。” 路加福音 23:39-43

The Pardon of the Good Thief
James Tissot詹姆斯天梭

There was only one man on the scene of Jesus’ crucifixion that had the spiritual eyes to see that Jesus’ death would usher in His kingship of a spiritual kingdom. The convicted thief dying next to Jesus was experiencing the same torturous death yet as he took his final breaths, he had an audacious faith that looked beyond the finality of the moment and longed for eternity. The thief confessed his guilt, proclaimed his faith, and received the gift of eternal life.

在耶稣受难的场景中，只有一个人有属灵的眼睛看到耶稣的死亡会带来属灵国度的王权。耶稣身旁这位被定罪的强盗也正经历着和耶稣一样的酷刑，但是在他最后的气息中，他带着大胆的信心越过眼前时刻的终结，期盼永恒。这位强盗承认他的罪，宣告他的信心，接受了永恒生命的礼物。

But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. Ephesians 2:4-9 NIV

 

然而　神既有丰富的怜悯，因他爱我们的大爱，当我们死在过犯中的时候，便叫我们与基督一同活过来（你们得救是本乎恩）。他又叫我们与基督耶稣一同复活，一同坐在天上，要将他极丰富的恩典，就是他在基督耶稣里向我们所施的恩慈，显明给后来的世代看。你们得救是本乎恩，也因着信；这并不是出于自己，乃是　神所赐的；也不是出于行为，免得有人自夸。以弗所书 2:4-9

Lord God, give me spiritual eyes to see with faith like the thief on the cross. Take my eyes off of the hardship and pain of this world and give me a trust in your kingship and a longing for heaven. Thank you for forgiving my sin, gifting me with faith and preparing a home for me in heaven. It is only because of your mercy that I can look forward to an eternity with you.

神啊，赐我属灵的眼睛让我像十字架上的强盗一样有同样信心的看见。把我的眼目从世界上的难处和痛苦中移开，赐我对你王权的信心和对永恒的渴望。感谢你赦免我的罪，给我信心的恩赐，在天国为我预备家。只是因着你的仁慈和怜悯，我才可以期盼在永恒中与你同在。

 

Station 12: Jesus on the Cross, His Mother, and His Disciple
第十二站:耶稣在十架，祂的母亲和祂的门徒

Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to her, “Woman, here is your son,” and to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” From that time on, this disciple took her into his home. John 19:25-27

 

站在耶稣十字架旁边的，有他母亲与他母亲的姐妹，并革罗罢的妻子马利亚和抹大拉的马利亚。 耶稣见母亲和他所爱的那门徒站在旁边，就对他母亲说：“母亲（原文作“妇人”），看，你的儿子！” 又对那门徒说：“看，你的母亲！”从此那门徒就接她到自己家里去了。约翰福音 19:25-27

Stabat Mater – Woman, Behold Thy Son
James Tissot詹姆斯天梭

 

A mother and her son. This heartbreaking scene at the foot of the cross reminds us of the humanity of Jesus and His love for the world. In the anguish of separation from His family and friends, Jesus cared for His dear mother’s needs. With great love, He passed His responsibility as eldest son in the family to His dear friend and disciple John who took this great honor of representing Jesus to Mary seriously and welcomed the mother of Jesus into his home.

一位母亲和她的儿子。十字架下这令人心碎的一幕提醒了我们耶稣的人性和祂对世界的爱。在与家人和朋友分别的痛苦中，耶稣仍在关心祂亲爱母亲的需要。带着极大的爱，祂把自己长子的责任交给了既是亲爱的朋友也是门徒的约翰，约翰荣幸地接受了，并把耶稣的母亲接回了自己家。

Jesus gives us the honor of caring for those He loves. We are representatives of Christ on earth. We are His hands, His feet, His loving arms reaching to care for those who are vulnerable and in need in this world.

耶稣给我们尊荣，让我们去照顾祂所爱的人。我们是基督在地上的代表，我们就是祂的手、祂的脚、祂的膀臂，去关心那些世上软弱和有需要的人。

“Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’ “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’”
Matthew 25:37-40 NIV

 

义人就回答说：‘主啊，我们什么时候见你饿了，给你吃，渴了，给你喝？什么时候见你作客旅，留你住，或是赤身露体，给你穿？又什么时候见你病了，或是在监里，来看你呢？’ 王要回答说：‘我实在告诉你们：这些事你们既作在我这弟兄中一个最小的身上，就是作在我身上了。’
马太福音 25:37-40

Lord Jesus, Your love could not be contained. Even in your dying moments, You selflessly thought of the needs of your mother and friends. Thank you for meeting my needs. I offer myself to You to be Your ambassador on earth. Please use me to serve and love those around me. Give me Your heart of compassion for the world.

主耶稣，你的爱不能被限制，哪怕是在你将死的时刻，你都无私地想着母亲和朋友的需要。谢谢你满足我的需要。我把我自己献上，做你在地上的使者。请使用我来服侍和爱我身边的人。给我那颗你爱世界的心。

 

Station 13: Jesus Dies on the Cross
第十三站:耶稣在十字架上死去

It was now about noon, and darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon,  while the sun’s light failed; and the curtain of the temple was torn in two.  Then Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.” Having said this, he breathed his last.  When the centurion saw what had taken place, he praised God and said, “Certainly this man was innocent.” Luke 23:44-47

 

那时约有午正，遍地都黑暗了，直到申初，日头变黑了，殿里的幔子从当中裂为两半。 耶稣大声喊着说：“父啊，我将我的灵魂交在你手里！”说了这话，气就断了。百夫长看见所成的事，就归荣耀与　神，说：“这真是个义人！” 路加福音 23:44-47

Consummatum Est – It is Finished
James Tissot詹姆斯天梭

 

As a baby in Bethlehem, King Herod attempted His murder but Joseph and Mary slipped away to Egypt. In His hometown, they tried to push Him off of a cliff but He passed right through the crowd unscathed. In Jerusalem they picked up rocks to stone Him but He just walked away. From His birth, attempts were made on His life, yet no one could touch Him, not until the appointed time. They severely beat Him, but He did not die. They nailed Him to a cross, He did not die. It was only when all was accomplished that Jesus Christ gave up His spirit and commended Himself to the Father that He breathed His last.

当耶稣在伯利恒还是个婴儿时，希律王试图杀害祂，但约瑟和马利亚逃到了埃及；在祂的家乡，人们试图把祂推下悬崖，但祂毫发无损地穿过了人群；在耶路撒冷他们试图用石头打死他，但是祂也都走开了。自祂出生起，直到预定的日期之前，就不断有人想夺取祂的生命，却没有人能够伤到祂。他们重重鞭打祂，但祂没有死；他们把祂钉十字架，祂也没有死。直到所有事情都成了，耶稣基督交出祂的灵，把自己交托给天父之后才呼出了最后一口气。

No one took His life from Him. He gave it up. He willingly laid His body on the cross and offered Himself as a sacrifice for you and for me.

没有人拿去祂的生命，是祂自己交出了生命。祂甘愿地在十字架上摆上祂的身体，为了你我献作活祭。

You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:6-8 NIV

 

因我们还软弱的时候，基督就按所定的日期为罪人死。为义人死，是少有的；为仁人死，或者有敢作的。惟有基督在我们还作罪人的时候为我们死，神的爱就在此向我们显明了。罗马书 5:6-8

Lord Jesus, as I see what you have done on the cross, I join my praise with the centurion. You submitted Yourself to death on the cross. As the centurion pronounced – you were innocent. Yet at that moment, you bore my sins and died a death that should have been mine. I thank You and worship You for willingly dying in my place so I may live forever with You.

主耶稣，看到你在十字架上为我所做的，我和百夫长一起赞美你。你降服自己，以至死在十字架上。正如百夫长所宣告的，你本是无罪，然而在那个时刻，你承担了我的过犯，替我受死。我感谢你并且敬拜你，因为你甘心为我受死，为了让我能够与你永远一起活着。

 

Station 14: Jesus is Placed in the Tomb
第十四站:耶稣被放进坟墓里

Now there was a good and righteous man named Joseph, who, though a member of the council,  had not agreed to their plan and action. He came from the Jewish town of Arimathea, and he was waiting expectantly for the kingdom of God.  This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then he took it down, wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid it in a rock-hewn tomb where no one had ever been laid. It was the day of Preparation, and the Sabbath was beginning. Luke 23:50-54

 

有一个人名叫约瑟，是个议士，为人善良公义。众人所谋所为，他并没有附从。他本是犹太、亚利马太 城里素常盼望　神国的人。这人去见彼拉多，求耶稣的身体；就取下来用细麻布裹好，安放在石头凿成的坟墓里，那里头从来没有葬过人。那日是预备日，安息日也快到了。
路加福音 23:50-54

Jesus Carried to the Tomb
James Tissot詹姆斯天梭

 

Jesus has died and now he is buried. The finality of death has set in as the rock was rolled across the entrance of the tomb. At this moment it seems that the enemies of Christ have at last achieved their victory. The religious leaders, the Roman government, and the devil who came to steal, kill and destroy appeared to finally destroy the giver of life. But what the enemy intended for evil, God intended for good. And the sting of death is about to lose its power.

耶稣死了，祂被埋葬。推滚在坟墓门口的石头标记着死亡的终结。此时似乎基督的敌人得到了他们的胜利。那些宗教领袖、罗马政府还有来偷窃、杀害、毁坏的魔鬼似乎真的杀害了生命的主。但是敌人的意图邪恶，神的目的是好的。死亡的绳索即将失去它的权能。

Sin was the door through which death had entered the world. Adam’s sin unleashed the power of death and because each one of us have also sinned, death is our reality as well. But Jesus Christ, He never sinned, so how could death have power to touch Him? It was because Jesus willingly took upon Himself the sins of the world that He succumbed to death on a cross.

罪是死亡进入世界的门。亚当的罪带来了死亡的权能，因此世人都犯了罪，死亡也是我们的终点。但耶稣基督从未犯过罪，死亡怎么有权柄触碰祂呢？这是因为祂甘心乐意地背负全世界的罪，在十字架上把自己交给死亡。

But we do see Jesus, who was made lower than the angels for a little while, now crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone.
Hebrews 2:9 NIV

 

惟独见那成为比天使小一点的耶稣（或作“惟独见耶稣暂时比天使小”），因为受死的苦，就得了尊贵、荣耀为冠冕，叫他因着　神的恩，为人人尝了死味。希伯来书 2:9

Dear Savior Jesus Christ, you accepted the guilt of my sin on my behalf and you suffered the punishment of death that should be mine. I bow my heart before you and with lowered eyes and outstretched hands, I say thank you. You have given all for me that I might live for you.

亲爱的救主耶稣基督，你替代我承受了我的罪，你替我承担了本该是我的死亡的惩罚。我在你面前俯伏敬拜，我说感谢你。你把一切都给了我，叫我可以为你而活。

His death on the cross was not the end but just the beginning
祂在十字架上的死亡不是终点却是起点

From the cross He pronounced forgiveness over His enemies
and eternal life for the sinner who believed.
In Him we see love and purpose and
In His death, we experience life.

在十字架上 祂宣布赦免仇敌
赐永生 给信祂的罪人
在祂里面 我们看到爱与意义
在祂的死亡里，我们经历生命

Jesus replied, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. Anyone who loves their life will lose it, while anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it for eternal life.” John 12:23-25 NIV

 

耶稣说：“人子得荣耀的时候到了。我实实在在地告诉你们：一粒麦子不落在地里死了，仍旧是一粒；若是死了，就结出许多子粒来。爱惜自己生命的，就失丧生命；在这世上恨恶自己生命的，就要保守生命到永生。 约翰福音 12:23-25
