1. Hello, listening friends.
亲爱的朋友，你好！
2. We are delighted that you tuned in to this new series of messages;
我们很高兴你能收听这个新的系列信息；
3. and this series of messages comes from the seven words that Jesus uttered on the cross.
这个系列信息是根据耶稣的“十架七言”而写成的。
4. There is a famous movie that is showing around the world called, “The Passion of Christ,”
“耶稣受难记”是在全球上映的一部大片，
5. and we see Jesus, in that film, uttering all those seven words;
在影片中，我们看到主耶稣，发表七言的整个过程；
6. and, today, I want to begin by talking to you about a power that is not too well known to too many people.
今天，我想在开始的时候，跟你谈谈不为众人所熟知的一种能力。
7. I am talking about the power of forgiveness;
我想说的就是，宽恕的大能；
8. and the first words on the cross that are recorded are an exercise of that power of forgiveness.
人们所记录下来的“十架七言”的第一句话，就是这宽恕大能的一个彰显。
9. In Luke 23:34,
在路加福音23章34节中讲到：
10. it says, “Jesus said, ‘Father, forgive them, for they know not what they are doing.’”
“当下耶稣说：‘父阿，赦免他们；因为他们所作的，他们不晓得。’”
11. Dr. Luke, the historian, was intrigued by Jesus’ willingness to forgive.
身为历史学家的路加医生，被主耶稣这种宽恕的意愿所打动。
12. Forgiveness was not a mark of strength in his Gentile culture;
“宽恕”在路加所处的外邦人文化中，是一种无能的表现；
13. but, 700 years earlier, the Prophet Isaiah had prophesied that the Messiah would intercede for His murderers.
早在700年以前，先知以赛亚就已经预言了弥赛亚会为杀害祂的人代求。
14. Isaiah said, “He bore the sin of many.”
以赛亚说：“祂却担当多人的罪，
15. He would plead in prayer on behalf of sinners.
又为罪犯代求。”
16. He would use His special relationship with His Father to forgive His haters;
祂会借着与父神特殊的关系来原谅恨祂的人；
17. and Jesus used the word, “Abba,”
耶稣用了“阿爸父”这个称呼，
18. which had never been used before by anyone to address God.
在这之前，从来没有人这样称呼过神。
19. It is a word that indicates intimacy.
这是一个很亲昵的称呼。
20. It is a word of home and heart.
这是家人的称呼，是发自心底的呼声。
21. It’s a word of kinship between child and father.
这称呼表现出父与子的血脉之亲。
22. Certainly, we can pray for anyone and be sure that God hears us;
当然，我们也能为他人祷告，神肯定也会垂听；
23. but I want you to see the uniqueness of Christ in these last words from the cross.
但我想请你留心基督“十架七言”的独特性。
24. Jesus did not pray the usual prayers of a dying man.
耶稣的祷告，并不像一个临终的人通常所说的那样。
25. Whenever anyone is standing between time and eternity, he thinks first of his own forgiveness by God;
任何人，当他面临生死关头的时候，首先想到的，就是：求神饶恕他自己；
26. but Jesus did not say, “Father, forgive Me.”
而耶稣却没有说：“父啊，赦免我。”
27. No.
没有。
28. Our Lord did not ask for personal forgiveness.
我们的主没有祈求神赦免祂。
29. No,
没有。
30. for the Scripture said, “He was tempted, as we are, but without sin.”
因为经文中说：“祂也曾凡事受过试探，与我们一样，只是祂没有犯罪。”
31. Jesus could have prayed that God would take Him quickly, but He did not.
耶稣可以祷告求神带祂快速离世，但祂没有这么做。
32. Jesus did not pray, “Father, avenge Me.”
耶稣也没有祷告说：“父啊，为我伸冤。”
33. If there was ever injustice done anywhere in the world, it was done on that day.

41. You talk about what is fair and what is unfair?
你还想谈论什么是公平，什么是不公平吗？
42. You talk about His right to ask to be avenged?

44. He could have called upon them to avenge Him;
祂可以使用这些势力来伸冤；
45. but, no, He didn’t pray that.
但祂没有这么祈求。

49. for even His enemies said, “Only God can forgive sins.”
什至祂的敌人也说：“只有神才能赦免罪。”
50. They nailed Him to the cross because He used His ability to forgive human sins.
他们之所以能将祂钉在十字架上，是因为祂运用了祂的大能饶恕人类的罪。
51. What does this say to you and me, my listening friend?

52. First,
首先，
53. His prayer for forgiveness ought to give us confidence that our sins can be forgiven.
主赦罪的祷告应该给我们有信心，我们的罪是可以被赦免的。

55. if God could forgive the sadistic crowd that mocked Him,

66. if Jesus could pray for those who were on the outer limits of sin, He can forgive you and me,
如果耶稣能够为那些罪大恶极的人来祷告，那么祂肯定能原谅你和我，
67. for Jesus came from Heaven so that He may end the vicious cycle of hate and sin.
因为耶稣从高天降下，祂能够终止罪恶和仇恨的恶性循环。
68. Jesus, hanging on the cross, was the magnet that drew all the hate and anger of the world to Himself,

69. and God said, “That’s where anger, hurt, hate, unforgiveness and bitterness end...”
