经文

《哥林多后书》5 章21 节：

　　神使那无罪的，替我们成为罪，好叫我们在祂里面成为神的义。

注解

理查·薛伯斯

　　虽然一次过犯就足以定罪，但借着基督的恩典，许多的过犯被白白地称义。我们对此有确据，因为基督的义就是神的义，神会因此而荣耀它。对那些凭着信心领受的人来说，即使他们每天都在犯罪，甚至直到死去的那一刻，这份义仍然是有效的。正因为此，神之子甘愿成为罪人，以使我们脱离罪。既然将我们一切的罪归在基督的身上都不能挪去神对祂的爱，那么当我们的灵魂借着基督的血已经洗净时，难道神的爱还会因为这些罪而离开我们吗？恩慈之主要俯就我们，以一种连天上的天使也猜不到的方式使我们归祂；就是祂的儿子不仅成为可怜的人，祂还除去了我们的罪，使我们借着属我们的基督在神面前坦然无惧，祂如今在天上为我们代求，直到将我们带回到自己身边，并将我们永远献给祂的父！

默想

阿利斯泰·贝格

　　几年前，当我被诊断出身患癌症时，我最大的希望，是能借着手术完全切除病灶。我不要那种只管一部分的治疗方案。我思想基督担当了我们一切的罪，福音的奥秘与大能，就在于祂除去了所有的罪。祂无瑕无疵，却为罪人死，背负我们的罪孽，为我们承受了刑罚。保罗写信给哥林多教会，对他们说，神不将他们的过犯归到他们身上，原因是神已经把过犯归算在基督身上。耶稣的死不是殉道，而是替代我们而死。福音是对所有人的邀请，但是赦免的确据，只赐给那些在基督里的人，他们的罪孽已经归算在了耶稣身上。

　　奥古斯都·托普雷迪（Augustus Toplady）清楚地呈现了这一点：

万古磐石为我开，
容我藏身在主怀；
愿因主流水和血，
洗我一生诸罪孽；
洗我内外全清洁，
罪恶污秽尽除灭。

　　彼得告诉我们，天使也愿意详细察看这些事。（参见彼前1:12）他们从远处观察到的是，信徒清楚地知道，祂为我们担当了羞辱和讥笑，祂被定罪是因为我们。最令人惊讶的就是，我们的不顺服，被主耶稣的顺服完全遮盖，我们所有罪债已被永远的偿清。

祷告

　　慈爱的天父，当基督的公义遮盖我们，祢便不再记念我们的罪愆。东离西有多远，祢叫我们的过犯离我们也有多远。求祢帮助我们不要怀疑祢的赦免、祢的怜悯和祢的爱，而是像祢心爱的孩子那样，坦然无惧地来到祢的面前。阿们。

Scripture

2 CORINTHIANS 5:21

For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

Commentary

RICHARD SIBBES

Though one sin was enough to bring condemnation, yet the free gift of grace in Christ is of many offences unto justification. And we have a sure ground for this, for the righteousness of Christ is God’s righteousness, and God will thus glorify it, that it shall stand good to those that by faith apply it against their daily sins, even till at once we cease both to live and sin. For this very end was the Son of God willingly made sin, that we might be freed from the same. And if all our sins laid upon Christ could not take away God’s love from him, shall they take away God’s love from us, when by Christ’s blood our souls are purged from them? O mercy of all mercies, that . . . he would vouchsafe to . . . make us his by such a way, as all the angels in heaven stand wondering at; even his Son not only taking our nature and miserable condition, but our sin upon him, that that being done away, we might through Christ have boldness with God as ours, who is now in heaven appearing there for us, until he bring us home to himself, and presents us to his Father for his for ever!

Devotional

ALISTAIR BEGG

Some years ago when I was diagnosed with cancer, my great concern was that the surgeon would get it all. I wasn’t really interested in a cure that was only partial. And when we think about Jesus bearing our sins, the mystery and the wonder of the gospel is that he deals with all of them. He who was absolutely perfect died in the place of sinners, identifying with us in our guilt and becoming liable to our punishment. When Paul writes to the Corinthians, he tells them that God was not counting their sins against them. And the reason for that is because he was counting them against him. Jesus died not as a martyr, but as a substitute. The invitation of the gospel is given to all, but the assurance of forgiveness is only for those who are in Christ, whose sins have been counted to him.

Augustus Toplady captured the security of this when he wrote:

Rock of ages cleft for me,
let me hide myself in Thee;
let the water and the blood,
from thy riven side which flowed,
be of sin the double cure;
cleanse me from its guilt and power.

Peter tells us that the angels, actually, long to look into this (1 Pet. 1:12). And what they have observed from a distance, the believer knows perfectly.

The wonder of it all is that our disobedience is completely covered by the obedience of the Lord Jesus—all of our sins dealt with forever.

Prayer

Forgiving Father, when we are covered in the righteousness of Christ, you remember our sins no more. You have put them as far as the east is from the west. Help us not to doubt your forgiveness, your mercy, or your love, but come to you boldly as your beloved children. Amen.
