由「耶穌叫拉撒路復活」看：『基督是一切，又在一切之內』
經文：約11:1-44
A) 『基督是一切』
1) 基督是我們的生命
耶穌對她說：「復活在我，生命也在我﹝或作：『我是復活，我是生命』﹞。信我的人雖然死了，也必復活；凡活著信我的人必永遠不死É」 (約11:25-26)
耶穌說：「我就是道路、真理、生命É」 (約14:6)
2) 人有基督才算有生命
人有了 神的兒子就有生命，沒有 神的兒子就沒有生命 (約壹5:12)
3) 基督成了叫人活的靈
首先的人亞當成了有靈的活人」；末後的亞當成了叫人活的靈 (林前15:45)
我實實在在地告訴你們，時候將到，現在就是了，死人要聽見 神兒子的聲音，聽見的人就要活了。 (約5:25)
B) 『...又在一切之內』
1) 因著耶穌基督，我們都從死裡復活
4 É神既有豐富的憐憫，因祂愛我們的大愛， 5 當我們死在過犯中的時候，便叫我們與基督一同活過來É6 祂又叫我們與基督耶穌一同復活，一同坐在天上， 7 要將祂極豐富的恩典，就是祂在基督耶穌裏向我們所施的恩慈，顯明給後來的世代看。(弗2:4-7)
2) 在聖靈裡接受復活的基督作生命
基督是我們的生命(西3:4)
É現在活著的不再是我，乃是基督在我裏面活著(加2:20)
因我活著就是基督..( 腓1:21)
3) 在一切的遭遇裡效法基督的死，經歷並彰顯祂的復活
使我認識基督，曉得祂復活的大能，並且曉得和祂一同受苦，效法祂的死， 或者我也得以從死裏復活。 (腓3:10-11)
14 感謝神！常率領我們在基督裏誇勝，並藉著我們在各處顯揚那因認識基督而有的香氣。 15 因為我們在 神面前，無論在得救的人身上或滅亡的人身上，都有基督馨香之氣。 16 在這等人，就作了死的香氣叫他死；在那等人，就作了活的香氣叫他活。這事誰能當得起呢？ (林後2:14-16)
30 你們掛在木頭上殺害的耶穌，我們祖宗的神已經叫祂復活É 32 我們為這事作見證；神賜給順從之人的聖靈也為這事作見證。」(徒5:30-32)
ÒChrist is all and in
allÓ: From the perspective of the resurrection of Lazarus
Scriptures:
John 11:1-44
A. ÒChrist
is allÓ
a. Christ is our life
ÒJesus said to her, ÔI am the resurrection and the life. He
who believes in Me, though
he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die.Õ
Ò(John 11: 25-26)
ÒJesus said to him, ÔI am the way, the truth, and the
life.ÕÓ(John 14:6)
b. Man only has life when he has Christ
ÒHe who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of
God does not have
life.Ó (1 John 5:12)
c. Christ has become the life-giving spirit
ÒAnd so it is written, ÒThe first man Adam became a living
being.Ó The last Adam
became a life-giving spirit.Ó (1 Cor 15:45)
ÒMost assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now
is, when the dead will
hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live.Ó (John 5:25)
B. ÒChrist
is in allÓ
a. Through Jesus Christ, we have all resurrected from the
dead
ÒBut God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love
with which He loved
us, even when we were dead in
trespasses, made us alive together with Christ É and
raised us up together, and made us sit
together in the heavenly places in Christ
Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding
riches of His grace in
His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.Ó (Eph
2:4-7)
b. Receive the resurrected Christ to be our life in the Holy
Spirit
ÒÉChrist who is our life ÉÓ (Col 3:4)
ÒÉit is no longer I who live, but
Christ lives in me ÉÓ (Gal 2:20)
ÒFor to me, to live is Christ ÉÓ (Phil 1:21)
c. In all our circumstances conform to the death of Christ,
and so experience and
magnify His resurrection
ÒThat I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and
the fellowship of His
sufferings, being conformed to His death, if, by any means, I may attain to the
resurrection from the dead.Ó (Phil 3:10-11)
ÒNow thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in
Christ, and through us
diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in
every place. For we are to God the
fragrance of Christ among those who are being
saved and among those who are
perishing. To the one we are the aroma
of death leading to death, and to the other
the aroma of life leading to life. And
who is sufficient for these things?Ó (2 Cor 2:14-
16)
ÒThe God of our fathers raised up Jesus whom you murdered by
hanging on a tree.
É 32 And we are His witnesses to these things, and so also is
the Holy Spirit whom
God has given to those who obey Him.Ó (Acts 5:30-32)
