贰 第一个神人主耶稣,活著作一个祷告的人─路五16:
II. The first God-man, the Lord Jesus, lived as a man of prayer—Luke 5:16:
一 在描述第一个神人是祷告的人时,我们可以用“神圣”和“奥秘”这两个辞;“神圣”是在神这一面,“奥秘”是在人那一面:
A. In describing the first God-man as a man of prayer, we may use the words divine and mystical; divine is on God's side, and mystical is on man's side:
1 在主耶稣这第一个神人的生活中,祂所作的一切,都是神圣而奥秘的;神在奥秘属人的方式里得以显现─提前三16。
1. In His living as the first God-man, all that the Lord Jesus did was divine and mystical; God was manifested in a mystical human way—1 Tim. 3:16.

2. The Lord's mystical human life was a divine realm, and this realm is the kingdom of God—John 3:13, 3.
二 第一个神人的历史中,非常重要的一部分乃是祂的祷告─约十七:

3 祂的祷告都是神圣的,但这些祷告乃是在人的生活中,使那种人的生活成为奥秘的─可一35,路五16,六12。
3. His prayers were divine, yet they were in a human life, making that human life mystical—Mark 1:35; Luke 5:16; 6:12.
4 基督的祷告,乃是在祂奥秘的人性生活里神圣的事实─约十七:
4. Christ's prayers were divine facts in His mystical human life—John 17:
a 凡神所作的都是神圣的事实,而在主耶稣身上这些神圣的事实在人性生活里活出来,使祂的人性生活成为奥秘的。

b 主耶稣是神人,祂所说的和所作的,都是奥秘的,在祂人性生活里完成的神圣事实。
b. The Lord Jesus was a God-man, and all that He said and did were divine facts accomplished in His human life mystically—5:19.
三 在主耶稣身上,我们看见福音书里所启示的祷告之人纯净的榜样:
C. With the Lord Jesus, we see the pure pattern of the man of prayer revealed in the Gospels:

3. As a man of prayer, the Lord Jesus trusted in God and not in Himself under any kind of suffering or persecution—1 Pet. 2:23b; Luke 23:46.
4 主耶稣是一个祷告的人,世界的王撒但在祂这人里面毫无所有─没有立场,没有机会,没有盼望,任何事都没有可能;撒但之所以在祂里面没有立场,是因为祂向神的服从,切除了撒但─约十四30。
4. As a man of prayer, the Lord Jesus was a man in whom Satan, the ruler of the world, had nothing—no ground, no chance, no hope, and no possibility in anything; Satan had no ground in Him because His submission to the Father cut off Satan—John 14:30.
叁 祷告乃是人与神合作同工,让神借着人发表祂自己,而成功祂的旨意─罗八26~27,雅五17:
III. Prayer is man cooperating and co-working with God, allowing God to express Himself through man and thus accomplish His purpose—Rom. 8:26-27; James 5:17:

D. The New Testament teaches us, the members of the Body of Christ, to do everything with God, in God, by God, and through God; this is what it means to be divine—1 Cor. 10:31; Col. 3:17.
