‘世人的救主’是什么意思?

根据《约翰福音》4:42和《约翰一书》4:14,耶稣是“世人的救主”。 按照加尔文主义的解释,这两处经文的 kosmos(世界)指的是“蒙拣选之人的世界”。换句话说,祂是祂所拣选得救之人的百分之百的救主,而对未蒙拣选的人则完全不是救主。 但这里的 kosmos 指的是历世历代所有的人类。 这是否意味着所有人最终都会得救? 不是。 《约翰福音》 4:42 和 《约翰一书》 4:14 都说明了“世人的救主”这句话的含义。 在他对《约翰福音》1–6章的注释中,赞恩·霍奇斯(Zane C. Hodges) 在谈到《约翰福音》 4:42 时写道: 约翰以叙加城人的认信来结束这一段叙述,也结束了福音书的这一单元。他们如今相信耶稣“真是基督,是世人的救主”。这个认信正表达了约翰写作本书所要达到的目的(参 20:30–31)。值得注意的是,这些外邦信徒清楚地表达了耶稣拯救能力的普世性(参 17:2)。祂不仅是以色列民的救主,也是全世界的救主。正如施洗约翰所宣告的,祂是“除去世人罪孽的神的羔羊”(1:29)…… 重要的是他们深信这位基督能够赐永生给他们,而不仅仅是给犹太人。这种确信在“世人的救主”这句话中被强烈表达出来。(《信靠祂的名》,第85页,粗体强调为后加) 关于《约翰一书》 4:14,伊恩·霍华德·马歇尔(I. Howard Marshall )认为“世人的救主”指的是“耶稣献祭的普世性”。(《约翰书信》,220页)同样,加里·德里克森(Gary Derickson )指出,这个称号是“无限赎罪”(阿金,183页;约翰逊,110页)教义的有力证据之一——“祂拯救的使命没有限制,其成功也没有限制,唯一的例外是人拒绝藉着信靠救主而接受救恩。(普卢默,第104页)。”(《约翰一、二、三书》,第453页) 保罗在 《提摩太前书》4:10 的话进一步阐明了这一表达:“我们劳苦努力,正是为此,因为我们的指望在乎永生的神;祂是万人的救主,更是信徒的救主。”这里的“万人”相当于《约翰福音》 4:42 和 《约翰一书》 4:14 […]
