Scripture Reading: Matt. 1:1; Rev. 22:21; Acts 2:42; 1 Tim. 1:3-4
壹 新约头一个和末一个名字都是耶稣,证明耶稣基督乃是新约的主题,也是新约的内容─太一1,启二二21:
I. The first name and the last name in the New Testament is Jesus, proving that Jesus Christ is the subject and content of the New Testament—Matt. 1:1; Rev. 22:21:
一 圣经是一本生命的书,这生命乃是一位活的人物,就是那奇妙且包罗万有的基督。
A. The Bible is a book of life, and this life is a living person, the wonderful and all-inclusive Christ.
二 旧约用预表和预言描绘这位要来的奇妙人物;到了新约,这位奇妙的人物来到了。
B. The Old Testament gives a portrait, in types and prophecies, of this wonderful person as the Coming One; now, in the New Testament, this wonderful person has come.
贰 基督是全本圣经的奇妙中心,包罗万有,具备多面;新约开始有四本传记,描绘这位包罗万有之基督主要的四方面:
II. Christ, as the wonderful center of the entire Bible, is all-inclusive, having many aspects; the New Testament at its beginning presents four biogra-phies to portray the four main aspects of this all-inclusive Christ:
一 马太福音见证祂是君王,是旧约所预言神的基督,将诸天的国带到地上。
A. The Gospel of Matthew testifies that He is the King, the Christ of God proph-esied in the Old Testament, who brings the kingdom of the heavens to the earth.
二 马可福音告诉我们,祂是神的仆人,为神忠心劳苦;马可的叙述最简要,因为仆人不需要详细地记载。
B. The Gospel of Mark tells us that He is the Servant of God, laboring for God faithfully; Mark's account is most simple, for a servant does not warrant a detailed record.
三 路加福音提供一幅完整的图画,描绘祂是地上所活过惟一正确并正常的人,因此祂是人类的救主。
C. The Gospel of Luke presents a full picture of Him as the only proper and normal man who ever lived on this earth; as such a man, He is the Savior of mankind.

III. The four faces of the living creatures in Ezekiel 1:10 also portray the life of Christ as depicted in the four Gospels:

A. Matthew shows Christ as a lion, the King of God's kingdom; we need to be one with Christ to have the face of a lion, indicating that in relation to sin, the world, and Satan we are bold, strong, victorious, and reigning—Rev. 5:5; Rom. 5:17.
二 马可福音描绘祂是牛,是神的仆人;我们需要与基督是一,有牛的脸,指明我们甘愿背负担子,劳苦作工,甚至牺牲自己─林前十五10、58,徒二十24,腓二30。

三 路加福音描述祂是人,是人救主;我们需要与基督是一,有人的脸,指明我们活在正确的人性,就是耶稣的人性里─参弗四20~21。
C. Luke depicts Him as a man, the Man-Savior; we need to be one with Christ to have the face of a man, indicating that we live in a proper humanity, the human-ity of Jesus—cf. Eph. 4:20-21.
四 约翰福音表明祂是鹰,就是神;我们需要与基督是一,有鹰的脸,指明我们在神的生命里超越、上升并有大能─六15,腓四12~13。
