死而复生
所以，我们藉着洗礼归入死，和他一同埋葬，原是叫我们一举一动有新生的样式，像基督藉着父的荣耀从死里复活一样。（罗 6：4） 我们通常欢喜庆祝复活节，这是恰当的，因为这一天我们庆祝基督战胜死亡为我们带来永生的盼望。然而，我们必须记得，复活节之前有受难日，是我们纪念基督在十字架上受苦和受死的日子。随同胜利是需付出巨大的代价，就是神的爱子为我们牺牲了自己。借着祂的死，基督把我们从罪恶中救赎出来。借着祂的复活，基督赐与我们永生的盼望。借着对基督的信心，我们得着神的恩典和怜悯并与神和好、领受救赎和永恒的救恩。在灵性上我们是死在罪中，但基督借着祂的死和复活带给我们重生。 然而保罗看到的不止于此。保罗在他的书信中反思了基督的死与复活对基督徒新生命的重大意义。罗马书 6:4 反映我们如何借着对基督的信心出死入生。保罗把我们将生命交托给基督（洗礼）的那一刻描述为与基督一同埋葬。当我们把生命献给祂时，我们过去的罪恶就死了。事实上，我们的罪和罪性随着基督的死已经被埋葬了。我们在基督里所活的新生命，该是复活的基督所赐给我们的新生命。 基督死了，基督也复活了。借着对基督的信心，我们应该持续不断地向我们的罪恶和罪性死去，而过着基督在灵性上为我们带来复活的新生命。“向罪死，在基督里活”——就让这成为我们个人体会复活节的格言吧！ /院长：张晓枫博士...

Demikian juga, sebagaimana Kristus dibangkitkan daripada kematian melalui Kemuliaan Allah Bapa, kita juga dapat menikmati kehidupan yang baru. (Roma 6:4) Hari Paskah Kebangkitan sering dirayakan dengan penuh kegembiraan. Ini memang wajar kerana ia adalah hari yang penuh bermakna....
