另外关于安息日真正的意思,请参看以下文章。现只对部分摘抄并翻译:http://www.apuritansmind.com/TheLordsDay/DoumaDejong4thCommandment.htm http://www.apuritansmind.com/TheLordsDay/DoumaDejong4thCommandment.htm http://www.apuritansmind.com/TheLordsDay/DoumaDejong4thCommandment.htm The Sabbath is a gift, to be commemorated without burdensome hindrances.Christ restored the Sabbath to its original beauty and luster. The Sabbath is a joy for man, but man finds His deepest joy in pleasing the Lord. 安息日是一个礼物, 我们纪念安息日不应该觉得是一种负累。 基督使安息日恢复它本来的美意和光泽。安息日是上帝赐给人的喜乐,当我们讨主欢心的时候,我们得到灵里最深的喜乐。 We wish to affirm that the fourth commandment remains intact for today. The essence of the fourth commandment is permanent.we are still awaiting something: the eternal rest and the great banquet feast. 我们希望确信十大诫命的第四条在今天仍然是有效的。第四条诫命的本质内容是永久的。我们依然在等待一件事:永久的安息与主的圣宴。 The Sabbath was provisional in that Christ has fulfilled it. As a commemoration of liberation from Egypt, the Sabbath was a ‘shadow’ of what we now possess in Christ, who it its ‘substance.’ Our commemoration on Sunday focuses on Christ and His resurrection from the grave. Calvin's resting from our evil work is the same as resting from daily work because in order to worship, one can’t work. 安息日起初是临时的,直到在基督里得到实现。它为纪念神把以色列人从埃及解救出来,安息日是一个影子,我们现在所拥有的基督才是安息日的实质。我们在主日纪念安息日,我们纪念救主和他从坟墓中复活。加尔文指安息日是停息我们的邪恶,跟我们停息手中的工作是一样的意思,因为我们在这日要敬拜神,我们因此不应当工作。
Much about the Sabbath remains permanent: 1. Sunday looks back, like the Sabbath, to God’s seventh day rest — one day rest in seven; 2. Sunday looks forward, like the Sabbath, to our definitive rest from our evil works (Heb.4: 10). 安息日是永久的还有其它原因: 1。主日往回看,如同安息日,上帝在第七天歇了手中的工----七日中有一日安息。 2。主日往前看,如同安息日,最后从我们的邪恶中解救出来,进入安息。(来4:10)
On Sunday we celebrate the fact that we are free from ourselves because we are free for God. Sunday is a day of consecration and rest. Precisely how we enjoy the Sabbath is a matter of Christian liberty. 在主日我们纪念安息日,因为我们从自己的忙碌中走出来,完完全全地属于上帝。主日是一种奉献与安息。准确来说,我们如何享受安息日与基督徒所得的自由戚戚相关。
