  • 顛覆現實的基督論
    By 鮑維均

    「你們說我是誰?」(太16:15)自第一世紀耶穌發問至今,這問題一直迴盪於歷史長廊。歷代以來提出了不少見解,但今天的信徒仍要親自回答這問題,更要按照聖經的真理來回答。聖經的中心是耶穌基督,從舊約到新約都如是。雖然耶穌基督是獨一的,但聖經作者沒有用創新的稱號來介紹祂的身份和工作,反而沿用當時文化已有的職分和觀念(祭司、先知、君王,救主、道、主宰),再在其中注入信仰意涵,挑戰人的企圖和權勢,及對現實的詮釋,甚至挑戰信徒的生命。教會承接了耶穌基督在地上的使命(約20:21),因此祂的身份和工作,與我們信徒息息相關,從中可以看到我們的困局、尊嚴和定位。
