道成肉身的主披戴人性来到地上有两个主要的意义。第一就是祂要替代我们罪人受刑罚，第二就是要将我们从来不能认识，也不能感悟到的那位神圣与圣洁的上帝显明给我们这有罪的人。若没有祂如此将神与祂的救恩表明出来，我们没有一个人能够认识神且与祂亲近。但是，我们有否问过这污秽与有罪的世人是怎么面对这圣洁的主呢？当那道成肉身的主基督来到地上时，那如同最圣洁的那位来到不圣洁之处。祂活在不圣洁的人群中，天天听闻那不圣洁的言语，接触那不圣洁的事物，试问祂会带给这不圣洁的世界怎样的触动与张力呢？我们有否问过为何这位从来没有犯过任何罪的主在世人当中，有些人（像以色列的宗教领袖）极其的痛恨祂？有的人（像税利与妓女）如此的靠近祂？有些对祂满不在乎而被遗忘，有的带着战兢的心来到祂面前而得医治与释放，甚至成为历史的主角。这都跟基督的圣洁息息相关的。从来没有一个人能来到一个荣耀的圣君面前而之后没有任何事情发生在他身上。他不是遵从他而得着极大的赏赐，或者就是轻视他而得到羞辱，要不然就是拒绝他而成为他的仇敌，遭受极大的刑罚。因此，我们怎么认识基督而受祂的圣洁影响会断定我们一生的结果。今天很多信徒的观念是只有认为主耶稣的到来使我们人能亲近神，但他们没有问过自己这有罪的人在面对圣洁的主时，他污秽的生命是怎么被祂圣洁的光辉照耀呢？往往，我们只有因祂的救赎而欢唱，但却没有因祂的圣洁而战兢。若是如此，试想我们又怎么能真正经历祂救赎的大能与医治呢？如果今天是一个世界的教主或圣贤来拯救我们，那我们根本不需要考虑到“圣洁”的问题。因为那些拯救我们的只不过是伟大的凡人，不是圣洁的那位。那我们只需因那些圣贤的慈悲为怀而大大的感激他们就行了，但我们自己根本不需要因祂而恐惧战兢或是心意更新。我们若是做错了就改过自新就好，但不需要成为另一个人，披戴另一个新的性情。但若拯救我们的那位是圣洁的，而祂圣洁的属性常与我同在，我们就不得不会发现自己要恐惧战兢，才能得听见祂的声音，且服侍祂的圣民。确实，若祂是圣洁的那位，祂的分别、祂的不同、祂的圣化必然在我们里面产生圣火。倘若不，那圣火就成为了烈火，使我们被审判。因此，《来12:18-29》告诉我们神的子民当初来到西奈山，他们不能摸那山，也不能承受那从山上对他们说话的。因为神的圣洁充满那山。但圣经又说我们现在透过基督已经来到西安山，那是被买赎之灵魂所共聚的总会（换句话：教会），也有中保基督所洒的血在其中，而这血所说的比亚伯的血所说的更美（不是“伸冤”，乃是“饶恕”）。可能我们读到这里，会感到很欣慰与解脱，因为我们的罪不是遭受审判，而是被饶恕。但圣经却警戒我们不可弃绝那向我们说话的，因为那些弃绝那在地上警戒他们的神且不能逃罪，更何况我们违背那从天上警戒我们的？试想神若在一座山跟人说话都叫人不能忽视了，那么神自己道成肉身来到地上与人说话，那不是极其大而可畏吗？其实，这是很多新约信徒在信仰生活中常常忽视的真理，因此他们很容易践踏恩典。他们所传的恩典是毫无圣洁的，他们所献上的是不需要付代价的祭物，只有礼拜天到教堂去做主日，但在主日过后，心里向往与追求的都是地上的事。他们在信仰里所献上的祭是“凡俗与随意”的，因此终久不得释放，也不得医治，就是暂且得释放后，新的问题很快又临到。确实，我们身上各种的问题不离开是与神的能力没有关系。因为神的能力从未缺乏，也从未减少。问题就出在我们轻看主的圣洁。

There are two main significances to the incarnate Lord who took on human form to come to this world. First, He wanted to substitute us sinners in bearing the punishment; second, He wanted to reveal to us sinners the divine and holy God whom we can never know, and whom we cannot perceive. If He had not revealed God and His salvation in this way, none of us humans can know God and draw near to Him. However, have we asked, how does this unclean and sinful world face this holy Lord? When Christ the Lord, the Word who became flesh, came on earth, that is like the Most Holy One coming to an unholy place. He lived among unholy people, heard unholy words every day, was in contact with unholy things. Think about it, what kind of impact and tension would He bring to an unholy world? Have we ever asked why is it that this Lord who had never sinned before was so hated by some people (such as the religious leaders of Israel), but some people (such as tax-collectors and prostitutes) were so close to Him? Some did not really care about Him and were forgotten, some came before Him with a fearful heart and were healed and liberated, even becoming the lead characters of history. These are all related to Christ’s holiness. No one can ever come before a glorious and holy king without having something happen to him later on. He either receives huge rewards because he obeys the king, or he will be shamed because he shows contempt for the king. Otherwise, he will reject the king and become his enemy, and go through severe punishment. Thus, how we know Christ and are influenced by His holiness will determine the conclusion of our life. Today, many believers only have the idea that Lord Jesus came to draw humans close to God, but have they asked that when sinners like them face the holy Lord, how are their defiled lives being illuminated by His holy radiance? Often, we only sing for joy because of His redemption, but we do not tremble because of His holiness. If that is the case, how can we truly experience the great power and healing of His redemption? Today, if a religious leader of the world or a sage comes to save us, we do not need to consider the issue of “holiness” at all. Because the one who saves us is only a great mortal, but not the Holy One. In that case, we only need to be thankful to those sages for their compassion and mercy, but we ourselves do not need to fear and tremble because of them, nor do we need to be renewed in our hearts and minds. If we have done wrong, we just need to turn over a new leaf, but we do not need to become another person, or put on a new temperament. But if the one who saves us is holy, His holy attribute is always with us, then we cannot but find ourselves in fear and trembling, only then can we hear His voice, and serve His holy people. Indeed, if He is the Holy One, His distinction, His difference, His holiness will surely produce in us a holy fire. If not, that holy fire will become a consuming fire to judge us. Thus, <Heb 12:18-29> tells us that when God’s people came to Mount Sinai back then, they could not touch that mountain, and could not bear what was spoken to them from that mountain. Because God’s holiness filled that mountain. But the Bible also says that through Christ, we have now come to Mount Zion, which is the assembly (church) of the souls who are redeemed, the sprinkled blood of Christ the mediator is also there, and this blood speaks a better word than the blood of Abel (not “seeking redress”, but “forgiveness”). Perhaps when we read this, we will feel relieved and liberated, because our sins are not punished, but forgiven. But the Bible warns us not to refuse Him who speaks. If they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, how much less will we, if we turn away from him who warns us from heaven? Think about it, if the God who spoke to humans from a mountain cannot be despised, then if God Himself became flesh and came to earth to speak to humans, isn’t that extremely great and awesome? In fact, this is a truth which many New Testament believers often neglect in their faith living, thus they easily trample on grace. The grace they preach about is without holiness, what they offer are sacrifices that do not come with a cost, but they only go to church for Sunday worship, yet after the worship service, the longings and pursuits of their hearts are all earthly things. The sacrifices they offer in faith are all “typical and thoughtless”, thus they do not get liberated or healed; even if they are temporarily liberated, new problems come very quickly. Indeed, if the various problems we have do not leave, it has nothing to do with God’s power. Because God’s power is never in lack, nor will it be reduced. The problem is, we look down on the holiness of the Lord.
