今天我们进入耶稣“十架七言”系列信息的最后一讲。
4. and, I want to begin by telling you about an unknown person who wrote the following words:
在开始的时候，我想引用一位不知名人士写下的一段话，他说：
5. “Socrates taught for forty years;
“苏格拉底一生讲学有四十年之久；
6. Plato, for fifty;
柏拉图讲了五十年；
7. Aristotle, for forty;
亚里斯多德讲了四十年；
8. and Jesus, for only three years;
而耶稣仅仅讲了三年；
9. and, yet, in those three years of public teaching,
但就是通过这三年的公开传道，
10. Christ made a greater impact than those great philosophers made in a hundred and thirty years combined.”
耶稣基督对整个世界的影响，远远超过了这些大哲学家们一百三十年努力的总和。”
11. Jesus painted no pictures;

12. yet, some of the finest paintings of the greatest painters in the world received their inspirations from Him.
但许多画坛巨匠传世精品的创作灵感，都来自于祂。
13. Jesus wrote no poetry;
耶稣并没有写过诗；
14. but the greatest poets in the world were inspired by Him.

15. Jesus composed no music;
耶稣并没有谱过曲；
16. yet the greatest musicians in the world composed their music in His praise.
但世界上许多伟大音乐家都写下了颂赞祂的名曲。
17. Every sphere of human greatness has been enriched by this humble Carpenter of Nazareth;
这位拿撒勒谦卑的木匠，丰富了人类文明的每一个范畴；
18. but His unique offering to the human race is the salvation of their souls.
其实祂送给人类最为独特的礼物是，灵魂的拯救。
19. Philosophy could not accomplish that.
哲学做不到这一点。
20. Art could not accomplish that.

24. He strengthens the weak and gives life to those who are spiritually dead;
祂使软弱者变得刚强，祂赐给灵里已死亡的人们有新的生命；
25. and, today, we come to the seventh and the last statement of Christ from the cross;
今天我们一起来看耶稣“十架七言”的第七句，也是最后一句；
26. and John is the only one of the four Gospel writers who records this triumphant, concluding cry.
约翰是四福音书作者中唯一的一位，将这宣告胜利和完结的呼喊记录了下来。
27. Mark 15 said,
马可福音15章说：
28. “Then Jesus gave a loud cry and died.”
耶稣大声喊叫，气就断了。
29. Matthew 27 states,

耶稣又大声喊叫，气就断了。
31. Luke 23 simply said,
路加福音23章说：
32. “Then Jesus gave a loud cry...”
“耶稣大声喊着说……”
33. but John, who was there at the foot of the cross, tells us what this loud cry was.
而约翰当时就在十字架的下面，将这大声呼喊的内容告诉了我们。
34. Please, if you have your Bible, turn with me to John, Chapter 19, beginning at verse 29.
如果你手中有圣经，请跟我一起翻到约翰福音第19章，从29节开始。
35. Let us read it together.
让我们一起来看。
约翰福音第19章，29-30节。
有一个器皿盛满了醋，放在那里；他们就拿海绒蘸满了醋，绑在牛膝草上，送到他口。
耶稣尝（原文作受）了那醋，就说：“成了！”便低下头，将灵魂交付神了。
36. The original cry, which Jesus gave in His native tongue, was one single word.
耶稣用祂母语所发出的那句呼喊，其实是一个单词。
37. It is the same in the Greek language --
跟希腊语一样，
38. “Tetelesti,”
“Tetelesti,”
39. which means, “it is finished,”
意思是，“成了”，
40. or, “it has been achieved,”
或是，达成了，
41. or, “it has been accomplished.”
或是，实现了。
42. The single word itself is a perfect passive verb.
这个词本身是被动语态的完成时动词。
43. Why is this verb important?
为什么这个动词如此重要呢？
44. Because it means that a purpose has been fulfilled,
因为它表明目的已经完成了，
45. or, a goal has been accomplished,
或者说，目标已经达到了，
46. or, an end has been grasped;
也可以说，已经有了结果；
47. but its effect is continuous.
并且继续影响着后世后代。
48. The word, here, “finished,” does not mean that it is merely done,
在这里，“成了”这个词不仅仅是说事情做完了，
49. but that it is perfectly done.
而是指事情已完美地做成了。
50. When our Lord Jesus Christ said, “It is finished,”
当我们的主耶稣基督说：“成了”，
51. it means that, while the goal has been grasped, yet the purpose of it endures.
意思是说，当达到了目标之后，其成效是长远持续的。
52. Jesus died once on Calvary,
耶稣曾死在髑髅地，
53. but the salvation that He accomplished, there, is still audible today.
而祂所成就的救恩一直长存到今天。
54. All of Jesus’ life was leading to this cry, “It is finished.”
耶稣的一生终结于这声呼喊：“成了。”
55. The sum total of His ministry and mission was perfectly completed with this cry, “It is finished.”
祂所有的使命和事工都在“成了”这声呼喊中，有了一个完美的总结。
56. From His birth, to His boyhood, to His adulthood, to His public ministry,
从祂的降生，到少年时期，再到成年，直到祂公开传道，
57. the cry of His life was always, “I must finish the work of My Father.”
祂生命的呼喊一直就是：“我一定要作成我父的工。”
58. In Matthew 3:15,
在马太福音3章15节那里，
59. when He had a discussion with John the Baptist about who should baptize whom,
当祂和施洗约翰谈到，他们俩之间，谁应该来为谁施洗的时候，
60. He said, “Permit it to be so now in order to fulfill all righteousness.”
祂说：“因为我们理当这样尽诸般的义。”
61. He was saying, “I must finish My Father’s work.”
祂意思是说：“我一定要作成我父的工。”
62. In His temptation in the wilderness,
当祂在旷野受试探的时候，
63. when the devil wanted to divert His attention from finishing the work of the Father,
魔鬼想要将祂的注意力从作成父的工作上引开，
64. Jesus thwarted the trick of the adversary and refused the convenience and the coercion of Satan,
耶稣识破了敌人的诡计，抵挡了撒但的威逼利诱，
65. saying, instead, “I must finish My Father’s mission.”
并且宣告：“我一定要完成我父差我来的使命。”
66. In the whole Gospel of John, we sense that Jesus’ entire ministry is heading to a build-up toward that cry --
在整本约翰福音中，我们都可以感觉到，主耶稣所有的事工都在朝着这声呼喊的方向努力建造，
67. to “finish the work of My Father.”
也就是要“作成我父的工”。
68. Many times, in the Gospel of John, we read the Lord specifying about “His hour,” “the hour,” “My hour,”
在约翰福音中，有很多次，我们都读到主耶稣特别提到“祂的时候”，“那个时候”和“我的时候”，
69. as if Jesus had an internal clock that no one else could see,
似乎耶稣内心有一座时钟，是别人看不见的，
70. as if He is hearing chimes of a clock that no one else could hear.
似乎只有祂听到了别人无法听到的钟鸣声。
71. As early as the second Chapter of John in the wedding at Cana of Galilee,
早在约翰福音第二章，在加利利的迦拿，娶亲的婚筵上，
72. He turned to His mother and said, “Woman, My hour has not yet come.”
耶稣对祂母亲说：“母亲，我的时候还没有到。”
73. He was motivated and propelled by this hour—His hour.
祂是按照神的时间表来运作的。
74. Why is that?
为什么这样呢？
75. Because God’s hour, God’s timing, God’s appointments, are always perfect;
因为神所定的时间，神的日程表和神的计画，总是完美的。
76. and we, too, must look for God’s hour, not ours.
我们也必须遵照神所定的时间，而不是我们自己的安排。
77. Our hour is, “Lord, we need it and we need it now.”
说到时机，我们往往说：“主啊，我们需要这个，马上就需要。”
78. We say, “What is this business of waiting upon the Lord’s hour? We need it now...”
我们会说：“什么叫等候神的时间？我们现在就需要……”
79. but, when Jesus cried out on the cross and said, “It is finished,”
但当耶稣在十字架上呼喊：“成了”的时候，
80. it was not a cry of resignation.
这不是一个半途而废的呼喊，
81. It was not a cry of sorrow.

82. No.
都不是。
83. It was the cry of His birth, His boyhood, His three years of public ministry, have come to perfect completion.
这呼声是从祂的降生，到少年时期，直到祂三年的公开传道，最后达到一个完美的结局。
84. “It is finished.”

整个旧约，直到它结束的时候，所发出的呼声，都是“还没有成就。”
95. The very Ten Commandments that were written by the finger of God, Himself --
神的手亲自写成了十诫，
96. the commandments that convict us and counsel us and condemn us --
这些诫命让我们知罪，并警戒我们，
97. they end with a cry, “It is not finished,”
它也是用“还没有成就”这个呼声来结束的，
98. because no one has been able to perfectly keep the commandments
因为没有人能够完全地持守这些诫命，
99. until the Lord Jesus Christ came.
直到主耶稣基督的到来。
100. Galatians 3:24 and 25 tells us
加拉太书3章24节和25节告诉我们，
101. that the Law is a schoolteacher that has brought us to Christ;
