1. Hello, listening friends.
亲爱的朋友，你好！
2. Thank you for tuning in to this broadcast.

3. We are looking at the names of Jesus prophesied seven hundred years before He was born.
我们正在学习耶稣的名字，这些名字在祂出生以前700多年，就预先宣告了。
4. Now, there are some people who don’t believe that Jesus of Bethlehem is the same God Who created the universe.
如今，有许多人并不相信，生在伯利恒的那位耶稣就是创造世界的上帝。
5. Some people have difficulty believing that the virgin-born God is the very God Whose power co-created the moon and the stars.
有些人很难相信，借着童贞女马利亚生为人的神，祂的大能也创造了月亮和星宿。
6. They have trouble believing that Jesus of Nazareth is the very God Whose power hung the sun in its orbit.
他们也很难相信，拿撒勒人耶稣，就是那位让太阳在其轨道运行的神。
7. Instead, they believe that Jesus was merely a good role model.
他们相信耶稣只不过是人们的模范而已。
8. They believe that Jesus was merely a good man,
他们认为耶稣只是一个好人，
9. that Jesus was merely a great philosopher,
耶稣只不过是一个伟大的哲学家，
10. or that Jesus was merely another prophet;
或者说，耶稣是另一位先知罢了；
11. but the truth is this:
可是，实际上：
12. while Jesus Christ was born two thousand years ago in Bethlehem of Judea,
当耶稣基督2000多年前降生在犹太的伯利恒城之前，
13. He forever pre-existed with His Father.
祂早就已经和父神同在。
14. The truth is this:
真实的情况是：
15. while Jesus the Christ became an embryo in a virgin’s womb,
纵然耶稣在童女马利亚腹中成为胎儿，
16. it was through that same Jesus that all of the galaxies were created.
可是，这位耶稣的确就是宇宙万物的创造主。
17. The truth is this:
事实上：
18. that while Jesus the Christ died on a cross and rose again,
正是这位死而复活的耶稣基督，
19. it is that same Jesus alone Who can deliver us from the judgment to come.
唯有祂能把我们从永远的审判之下拯救出来。
20. This is the heart of the Christian faith;
这是基督徒信仰的核心；
21. and, if the heart is taken out, you have nothing left but a corpse of dead religion;
假如这个核心被拿走的话，那就是一个僵化的死宗教。
22. and that is why I often say that Christianity is not a religion.
所以我常说：基督教并不是一门宗教。
23. Christianity is a person,
基督徒所信仰的，是有位格的神，
24. Jesus Christ.
祂就是耶稣基督。
25. Before Jesus was born in Bethlehem,
当耶稣降生在伯利恒城之前，
26. hundreds of times in the sacred pages of the Old Testament,
旧约圣经里无数次提到，
27. God said that He is coming to earth in the person of Jesus;
神说，祂将要以人的样式来到世上，就是耶稣；
28. and, if you have your Bible, please turn to Isaiah, Chapter 9, verse 6.
