使徒保羅為何說 :
“耶穌本來富足卻因我們變為貧窮”?
哥林多後書 8:9
你們知道我們主耶穌基督的恩典：
他本來富足, 卻為你們成了貧窮,
叫你們因他的貧窮可以成為富足.
保羅講的貧窮,富足指的是甚麼呢?
答案在 : 羅馬書 9: 22-23
“如果神有意要顯明他的忿怒, 彰顯他的大能, 而多多容忍
那可怒、預備遭毀滅的器皿, 為了要使他豐盛的榮耀,
彰顯在那蒙恩、早已預備要得榮耀的器皿上,
這又有甚麼不可呢？”
保羅講的富足是神的榮耀, 耶穌本無罪, 因我們的罪加在祂身上, 掩蓋了祂的榮耀,
所以主耶穌才變為貧窮. 但耶穌基督為我們的罪死, 好叫我們不虧欠神的榮光,
變為富足. 聖經上提到的富足指的是靈的富足, 或將來神給我們的榮耀.
Ephesians 1:17-19
that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power
