1-9節--主的僕人

以賽亞書 第42章

每當我們想到三位一體神的第二個位格──即耶穌基督的時候──我們的腦海會否出現一個「僕人」的形象？聖經為基督所勾劃的，正是一個僕人的形象；透過這個形象，我們看到祂甘願降世為人，成為我們的榜樣和救贖主，實在是何等偉大。

父神喜歡我們注視基督的僕人形象──祂對神的順服和忠心，與當時以色列民的背逆成了強烈的對比。以色列民在許多方面都很失敗，在順服神和為神作見證這兩方面就更不用提了。

神的兒子耶穌基督卻過了完全順服的一生，祂盡了諸般的義，到最後，還為了救贖我們而甘願捨命犧牲。

神怎樣論及這位僕人呢？首先，神說會扶持祂。耶穌基督所作的一切，都得到父神的支持。讓我們細想基督在世上所經歷的一切，若不是得到父神賜予恩典，又怎能熬得住呢？祂一直得到父神的扶持。

其次，神喜悅祂。父神稱耶穌基督為祂的兒子。對於祂倆之間的親密關係，我們實在是無法完全明白，也無法經歷到的。

第三，神膏立祂。當耶穌基督接受洗禮的時候，聖靈降臨在祂的身上，藉此來膏立祂。祂雖然一直被聖靈充滿，但神仍然用這種獨特的方式來膏立祂，藉此裝備祂去面對前面的事奉。在路加福音四章14至21節，基督宣稱聖靈在祂身上用膏膏祂，叫祂去作傳道、教導和治病的工作。

神在基督身上的這三方面工作，同樣可做在我們身上。我們可以親身體驗到神怎樣用恩典來扶持我們、與神親密相交的甜美，以及住我們心裡的聖靈，如何幫助我們為基督而活和為祂作工。

但願我們在小事上，也能聽見父神稱讚我們說：「看哪，我的僕人，我心裡所喜悅的！」

THE SERVANT OF THE LORD
BIBLE READING: Isaiah 42:1-9

One of the most amazing names for Christ is servant. When you think of his position as the second person of the trinity and then call him a servant, you realise again something of his greatness in coming down to earth to be our example and our redeemer.

God the Father loves to draw attention to this aspect of Christs life and ministry. Here the obedience and work of Christ are set out against the dark background of Israels failure. Israel failed in many ways but particularly in obedience and in witnessing for God.

Christ, Gods Son, came to live a life of perfect obedience and to do all that man had failed to do. Having done all that, he gave his life for us all.

What did God say about his servant in these verses? Firstly, God upheld him. In all that Jesus Christ did, he had the loving support of his Father. Think of all the experiences Christ went through in his earthly life. Where did he obtain the grace to endure them? He was upheld by his Father.

Secondly, God delighted in him. We cannot understand nor enter into the depth of fellowship that exists between the Father and the Son.

Thirdly, God anointed him. In some special way, the Holy Spirit came on Christ at his baptism. He had always been filled with the Spirit, but in a unique way God equipped him for the ministry that was ahead of him. In Luke 4:14-21 Christ himself claimed that he had the anointing of Gods Spirit for the work of preaching, teaching and healing.

These three aspects of Gods work in the life of Christ can also be true in our lives. We know something of the upholding grace of God. We know a little of what being in fellowship with him can mean in our lives. We also have the Spirit of God dwelling within us to enable us to live for Christ and work for him.

May it be true of us, even in a small way, that God is able to say Behold my servant ... in whom I delight.
