Book4 Chapter 5 The Obstinate To

In this chapter, C.S. Lewis explains the incarnation ofJesus, how redemption works, and what it means for us in terms of Jesus's death, resurrection, and ascension. Lewis uses the tin toy soldier as ananalogy, but here Jesus is turning from God into a "tin soldier,"becoming a man. 在本章中，C.S.Lewis解释了耶稣道成肉身、救赎的运作方式，以及这对我们意味着什么，特别是在耶稣的受难、复活和升天方面。Lewis用锡制玩偶士兵作比喻，但在这里，耶稣是从上帝变成一个人，就好比人变成一个“锡制玩偶士兵”。

Lewis further explains that what Jesus has done for us impacts the whole human mass—like dropping into a glass of water one drop of something that gives a new taste to the whole lot. The process of becoming a son of God, of being turned from a created thing into a begotten thing, has been done for us. Lewis进一步解释说，耶稣为我们所做的事情影响了整个人类群体——就像在一杯水中滴入一滴东西，改变了整杯水的味道一样。成为上帝的儿子，从被造之物转变为被生之物的过程，耶稣已经为人类完成了。

At the end of this chapter, C.S. Lewis lists a few other accurate ways to explain how redemption works. He reminds us to adopt the explanation that appeals to us and not to quarrel with those who hold different opinions.在本章的结尾，C.S.Lewis列举了其他几种解释救赎如何运作的方式。他提醒我们选择对自己有吸引力的解释，但不要与持不同意见的人争吵。我很欣赏C.S.Lewis书中多次提及的这个原则，即对教义的“解释”并非教义本身，我门可以选择相信自己认可的解释，然而不要为此而争执不休。
