Following His Footsteps The Apostle Creed 10 The

跟隨耶穌腳踪行 Following His Footsteps 《使徒信經》第十講－ 肉身復活，並且永生 The Apostle’ Creed # 10 The Resurrection of the Body and The Life Everlasting

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell. On the third day He rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From thence He will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Christian Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen

一、復活的次序 The Order of Resurrection

1 Corinthians 15: 20 -26 But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who are asleep. For since by a man came death, by a man also came the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive. But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, after that those who are Christ’s at His coming, then comes the end, when He hands over the kingdom to the God and Father, when He has abolished all rule and all authority and power. For He must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet. The last enemy that will be abolished is death.

二、身體復活－有可能嗎？ Physical Resurrection- Is it possible? 哥林多前書 1 Corinthians 15: 35 或有人問：死人怎樣復活，帶著甚麼身體來呢？ But someone will say, “How are the dead raised? And with what kind of body do they come? ”

約翰福音JHON 12: 24 我實實在在地告訴你們，一粒麥子不落在地裏死了，仍舊 是一粒，若是死了，就結出許多子粒來。 Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.

三、復活身體的榮耀 The Glory of the Resurrected Body 哥林多前書 1 Corinthians 15: 42 -43 死人復活也是這樣：所種的是必朽壞的，復活 的是不朽壞的；所種的是羞辱的，復活的是榮 耀的；所種的是軟弱的，復活的是強壯的；種 的是血氣的身體，復活的是靈性的身體 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown a perishable body, it is raised an imperishable body; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body.

三、復活身體的榮耀 The Glory of the Resurrected Body Sown 所種的是 Raised 復活的是 a perishable body必朽壞的 in dishonor 羞辱的 an imperishable body不朽壞 的 in glory 榮耀的 in weakness 軟弱的 in power 強壯的 a natural body 血氣的身體 a spiritual body 靈性的身體

所種的是必朽壞的，是羞辱的，是軟弱的，是血氣的 身體。 Sown a perishable body, in dishonor, in weakness, a natural body.

復活的是不朽壞的，是榮耀的，是強壯的，是靈性的 身體。 Raised an imperishable body; in glory; in power; a spiritual body.

哥林多前書 1 Corinthians 15: 45 首先的人亞當成了有靈的 活人； So also it is written, “The first man, Adam, became a living soul. ”

末後的亞當成了叫人活 的靈。 The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

哥林多前書 1 Corinthians 15: 47 -49 頭一個人是出於地，乃屬土；第二個人是出於天。 那屬土的怎樣，凡屬土的也就怎樣；屬天的怎樣， 凡屬天的也就怎樣。我們既有屬土的形狀，將來也 必有屬天的形狀。 The first man is from the earth, earthy; the second man is from heaven. As is the earthy, so also are those who are earthy; and as is the heavenly, so also are those who are heavenly. Just as we have borne the image of the earthy, we will also bear the image of the heavenly.

哥林多後書 2 Corinthians 3: 17 -18 「主就是那靈；主的靈在哪裡，那裡就得以自由。我們眾 人既然敞著臉得以看見主的榮光，好像從鏡子裡反照，就 變成主的形狀，榮上加榮，如同從主的靈變成的。」 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit.

希伯來書Hebrew 4: 16 所以，我們只管坦然無懼地來到 施恩的寶座前，為要得憐恤， 蒙恩惠，作隨時的幫助。 Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

Salvation Prayer Dear God in heaven, I come to you in the name of Jesus. I acknowledge to You that I am a sinner, and I am sorry for my sins and the life that I have lived; I need your forgiveness. I believe that your only begotten Son Jesus Christ shed His precious blood on the cross at Calvary and died for my sins, and I am now willing to turn from my sin. You said in Your Holy Word, Romans 10: 9 that if we confess the Lord our God and believe in our hearts that God raised Jesus from the dead, we shall be saved. Right now I confess Jesus as the Lord of my soul. With my heart, I believe that God raised Jesus from the dead. This very moment I accept Jesus Christ as my own personal Savior and according to His Word, right now I am saved. Thank you Jesus for your unlimited grace which has saved me from my sins. I thank you Jesus that your grace never leads to license, but rather it always leads to repentance. Therefore Lord Jesus transform my life so that I may bring glory and honor to you alone and not to myself. Thank you Jesus for dying for me and giving me eternal life. Amen.

And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell. On the third day He rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From thence He will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Christian Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen
