Topics
Jon：我们正在进行一个主题研究，探讨圣经中救赎的逻辑。救赎意味着上帝将我们从死亡中赎回，耶稣用他的血来救赎我们。这引发了对救赎本质和意义的深刻思考，以及它在圣经叙事中的核心地位。我希望通过这个研究，能够更深入地理解救赎的真谛，以及它对我们信仰和生活的影响。 Tim：生命是上帝的恩赐，我们却因暴力和压迫而抛弃了这份礼物，将自己交给了死亡。圣经的故事讲述了上帝如何将我们从死亡中带回，重新拥有我们。救赎是上帝重新占有我们，英文单词“repossess”是一个很有帮助的同义词。人类的行为导致了与上帝的疏远，而救赎是上帝主动恢复这种关系的过程。我认识到，救赎不仅仅是一个抽象的概念，而是与我们每个人的生活息息相关，它提醒我们生命的宝贵和上帝的慈爱。
