遇见耶稣| Be Found in Jesus

弟兄姊妹们主内平安，今天我们分享的经文来自新约腓立比书（Philippians 3:7-11）

But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ -- the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith. I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead.
只是我先前以为与我有益的，我现在因基督都当作有损的。不但如此，我也将万事当作有损的，因我以认识我主基督耶稣为至宝。我为他已经丢弃万事，看作粪土，为要得着基督，并且得以在他里面，不是有自己因律法而得的义，乃是有信基督的义，就是因信神而来的义，使我认识基督，晓得他复活的大能，并且晓得和他一同受苦，效法他的死，或者我也得以从死里复活。

下面我们看一下这段经文里的语法
I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord .
Compare，动词，意思是比较；进行比较；相比，我们看一下compare搭配 to 和with两个短语的使用：compare to和compare with都可作“与…比较”解, 且在cannot compare结构中接with和to意思相同。其区别是：
1. compare with侧重把两个事物进行横向比较,求其共同之处或不同之处,且多用于具体事物; compare to侧重于把两个事物归纳到同一范围里去, 以便突出其相同的属性, 且多用于抽象事物。例如:
   Social life in a village cannot compare to〔with〕 that of a large city.
   乡村的社交生活是不能与大城市的社交生活相比拟的。（用to和with都可）
   The teacher compared my composition with that of another student.
   老师把我的作文与另一个同学的作文做了比较。
   Compared to many other women, she was really lucky.
与许多其他女人相比,她的确挺幸运的。
2.表示“比喻,比作”的意思时,只能用compare to; 表示“比得上”时,只能用compare with。
   Young people are often compared to the rising sun. 年轻人常被比作正在升起的太阳。
   Nothing can compare with wool for warmth.就保暖性能来说,没有什么东西能跟羊毛相比。
I now consider loss for the sake of Christ.
sake ,名词，意思是缘故;理由;目的，它有两种用法:
(1)for the sake of+n.为…的缘故,为…目的
e.g. For the sake of your father's reputation, I forgive you.看在你爸的面子上，我原谅你。
He left home and worked in a big city for the sake of money.
他为了赚钱，离家到一个大城市工作。
（2）for +所有格（名词单数’s，复数s’） + sake，因…的缘故
e.g. I will defend this city for my sake and for the sake of my servant David. 
我（上帝耶和华）为自己和我仆人大卫的缘故，必保护这城。
And he said, I will not destroy it for ten's sake.
他（上帝耶和华）说，为这十个（义人）的缘故，我也不毁灭那城。
For pity's sake, please stop making so much noise.求求你，请不要那么吵闹了。
3、I consider them rubbish
这里的consider，是“把…看作”、“认为”的意思。用法：S+～+ n./pron. +(to be/as) n./adj.
e.g. They consider his older brother an honest man. 他们认为他哥哥是个诚实的人。
You surely can't consider him to be a selfish man. 你不能把他看成是个自私的人。
I consider them rubbish. 我把它们看作是垃圾
I consider everything a loss .我把一切都当作有损的。
最后我们再回顾一下这段经文
But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ.What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ--the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith.I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death,and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead.
保罗在3：5-6自述自己的身份和背景，他属于便雅悯支派，也是一个法利赛人──个非常热心的犹太人群体（他曾逼迫基督教会6节），他严谨地遵守摩西的律法和附加的种种规条。犹太读者对保罗这些背景都会肃然起敬。

然而7节说到，“先前以为与我有益的，我现在因基督当作有损的”，现在他回顾过去，曾经所拥有的名誉和取得的成就，与认识基督相比，都是“有损的”。对保罗来说，没有什么比“认识基督”来得重要了，他甚至肯为基督舍弃一切。
保罗遇见耶稣以后，整个人生价值系统有了一百八十度的转变，他不再眷恋过去引以为傲的事，努力帮更多人摆脱犹太律法主义束缚而得着主。保罗说，称义得以信主并不是靠自己行律法来赚取，而是全凭信基督，在神里面白白得着。因着这种称义的属灵认识，激励保罗在追求认识基督上更卖力，尤其在生命经历上，体验基督受苦的死，复活大能的改变、更新，以至得以成圣。
当我们遇见耶稣时，我们同样也要在生命上经历基督受苦、受死和复活的大能。我们今天当然不能再目睹基督复活，然而我们仍可体验基督复活所带来的改变、更新之大能，特别在日常生活和事奉中，在不可能的事情和环境上，充分体验那神圣的大能，使我们这些原本无能之人成为有能者，得使平凡的你、我，凡事都能作。遇见耶稣，让我们一生经历神的大能，竭力追求更深认识主，在属灵天路上奔走，一生侍奉他，荣耀祂。
