Did you know what happened on the sixth day? What did God create on the sixth day? On the sixth day, God created Adam, who was God’s first son on earth? But did you also know that Jesus, the second Son of God, Who walked on this earth, died on the sixth day?
God created man on the sixth day
Let’s have a look at the moment when the son of God (男人) 已创建:
And God said, Let us make man in our image, 在我们的相似之后:让他们统治海里的鱼, 和空中的飞禽, 和牛的上方, 以及整个地球, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 所以上帝按照自己的形象创造了人类, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 上帝祝福他们, 神对他们说, 硕果累累, 并乘以, 并补充地球, 并制服它:并统治海里的鱼, 和空中的飞禽, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. And God said, 看哪, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat:and it was so. And God saw every thing that he had made, 和, 看, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day (创世纪 1:26-31)
Jesus died on the sixth hour of the sixth day
Now let’s have a look at the moment, 那个耶稣, 神的儿子, the Son of man, died on the sixth day and what took place at the cross, from the sixth hour:
Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour. And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, 说, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, 我的上帝, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, 说, This man calleth for Elias. And straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.
The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him.
耶稣, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. 和, 看, 圣殿的幔子从上到下裂成两半; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; And the graves were opened; 许多睡着的圣徒的尸体都起来了, And came out of the graves after his resurrection, 进了圣城, and appeared unto many. Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, 说, Truly this was the Son of God (马修 27:45-54)
On the sixth day, man was created, and on the sixth day it was the end for the carnal man.
The crown of God’s creation
Man was the crown of God’s creation. 当神创造人时, His work was completed. God looked at everything He created and saw it was very good. God rested on the seventh day.
It was all good, until the moment came that His perfect work, and the harmony, became disrupted, by man becoming 忤 to God the Father, the Creator.
那一刻, the creation was not perfect anymore. Because through the 不服从 of man, the spirit of the human race died.
Man gave their position as son of God, and their authority as a son of God, to rule over the earth and all there is within, to the devil; 神的敌人.
从那一刻起, man was narrated to the flesh, and their final destination would be death.
But God had already a new plan, 自 give back the authority to His sons and daughters, and to have a relationship with them again. God’s new plan would bruise the serpent’s head; and He would legally take back the authority, that was originally given to man. This happened on the sixth day of the week, when Jesus Christ took all the sins and iniquities of the world upon Himself, and died for mankind.
A new era
耶稣从死里复活, on the first day of the week, also called the eight-day. This eight-day was the first day of a new era. The old covenant had passed away, the new covenant had begun, which included the 新创作 that would be born of the Spirit of God.
Jesus had defeated the devil and death, by being completely 顺服上帝. Jesus had taken back the authority as Son of God. Jesus was the first One of the new creation.
每个人, who would believe in Jesus Christ; and would accept Him as Saviour and made Him Lord over their lives, He would give the opportunity, 成为神的儿子 (由圣灵而生) 并拥有永生. Only through Him it was possible, and still is possible.
