本期视频中， 魏泰德谈到了律法的属灵意义，也是耶稣登山宝训的一部分。

人们认为属灵和律法是两回事，但它们却完美地融合在一起。

怀爱伦说：“西奈山上所颁布的律法，宣布了爱的原则，向世界展示了天国的律法…… 颁布律法的主有能力使人的心与律法的原则相和谐。” （《福山宝训》46页）

不幸的是，法律通常被看作是指令清单，但是耶稣告诉我们灵命不仅仅是遵守律法的字面意思。

 “所以，无论何人废掉这诫命中最小的一条，又教训人这样作，他在天国要称为最小的；但无论何人遵行这诫命，又教训人遵行，他在天国要称为大的。我告诉你们：‘你们的义若不胜于文士和法利赛人的义，断不能进天国。’”（马太福音5:19-20）

此处，耶稣指出律法比表面更深。比如，第六诫：“不可杀人。” 培养仇恨和愤怒与谋杀一样严重。第七诫也是如此，“你们不可奸淫”，因为耶稣说，“凡看见女人就动淫念的，这人心里已经与她犯奸淫了。”(28节)。

To keep the commandments of God means being reconciled with our fellow men (verse 24), turning the other cheek (verse 39) when other people mistreat us, and going the second mile (verse 41) even for those who don’t deserve it.

遵守上帝的诫命意味着与我们的同胞和好(24节)，当别人凌辱我们的时候，连左脸也转过来由他打(39节)，甚至为了那些不值得的人，也要多走二里路(41节)。

上帝要我们去做这些看似不可能的事，好让我们像祂一样。“所以你们要完全，像你们的天父完全一样。”（48节）只有在上帝才凡事都能。

基督藉着祂自己对律法的顺从，证明了律法的不变性，也证明了亚当的儿女能够靠着祂的恩典完全地遵守律法……耶和华的律法是全备的，所以也是不变的。有罪的人类靠着自己也无法达到律法所要求的标准。因此耶稣就来作我们救赎主。祂的使命是要通过使人拥有上帝的性情，而与天国的律法的原则相合。 （《福山宝训》50页）

因此，让我们把自己交给耶稣，把祂的律法写在我们的心里，这样我们就可以更像祂。

In this episode, Pastor Ted Wilson talks about the spirituality of the law, as part of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount.

People think that spirituality and the law are two separate things. But they blend together perfectly.

Ellen White says, “The law given upon Sinai was the enunciation of the principle of love, a revelation to earth of the law of heaven. It was…spoken by Him through Whose power the hearts of men could be brought into harmony with its principles” (Thoughts From the Mount of Blessing, page 46).

Unfortunately, the law is often seen as a list of instructions. But Jesus shows us that spirituality is more than just keeping the letter of the law.

“Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 5:19-20).

Here, Jesus points out that the law goes deeper than outward appearances. For instance, in the sixth commandment, “you shall not kill,” cultivating hatred and anger is as serious as the act of murder. The same goes in the case of the seventh commandment, “you shall not commit adultery,” for Jesus said, “whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart” (verse 28).

To keep the commandments of God means being reconciled with our fellow men (verse 24), turning the other cheek (verse 39) when other people mistreat us, and going the second mile (verse 41) even for those who don’t deserve it.

God asks us to do these seemingly impossible things so we can be like Him. “Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect” (verse 48). And it will only be possible with God (Matthew 19:26).

“By His own obedience to the law, Christ testified to its immutable character and proved that through His grace, it could be perfectly obeyed by every son and daughter of Adam…Because the law of the Lord is perfect and therefore changeless, it is impossible for sinful men in themselves to meet the standard of its requirement. This was why Jesus came as our Redeemer. It was His mission, by making men partakers of the divine nature, to bring them into harmony with the principles of the law of heaven” (Ellen White, Thoughts From the Mount of Blessing, page 50).

Therefore, let us surrender ourselves to Jesus and have His law written in our hearts so we can be more like Him.
