慕安得烈的一段话

慕安得烈(Andrew Murray 1828-1917)在其名著“基督的灵”(The Spirit of Christ) 的第五章有这么一段:

基督来了,不只要救人脱离律法和律法的咒诅,更要把人的性情再带来与神的生命相交,使我们人有分于神的性情。…
并且因着他在他自己里面,替我们成全了一个新的、圣洁的、人的性情,他现在就能将从前所没有的,一个同时属人又属神的生命,交通给人。从此以后,圣灵怎样是神自己的生命,照样也能成为人自己的生命。…
圣灵也就能降下来,作神人的灵--确是神的灵,又真是人的灵。

Christ came not only to deliver man from the law and its curse, but to bring human nature itself again into the fellowship of the Divine life, to make us partakers of the Divine nature…
And in virtue of His having perfected in Himself a new holy human nature on our behalf, He could now communicate what previously had no existence - a life at once human and Divine. From henceforth the Spirit, just as He was the personal Divine life, could also become the personal life of men…
And the Holy Spirit could come down as the Spirit of the God-man --most really the Spirit of God, and yet as truly the spirit of man.
