如果耶稣是上帝，祂在十字架上死的时候，上帝也死了吗？
If Jesus is God, did God die when Jesus died on the cross?
简答 Short Answer
耶稣的死是按人性而言的死。上帝的神性本质不会死亡，但圣子真实地经历了人性的死亡，这赋予十字架无限的价值。
Jesus's death was a death according to His human nature. The divine nature cannot die, but the Son truly experienced human death, giving the cross infinite value.
详细解答 Detailed Answer
这个问题触及基督论中最深奥的奥秘——二性一位格（hypostatic union）。耶稣基督是一个位格拥有两个完整的本性：完全的神性和完全的人性。这两个本性在一个位格中联合，但不混淆、不改变、不分割、不分离。
在十字架上，死的是耶稣基督这个位格，按照祂的人性而死。神性本质是不灭的、永恒的，不会经历死亡。然而，因为是神性的位格（圣子）在受苦和死亡，十字架的牺牲就具有无限的价值和功效——足以赎买全人类的罪。
这也意味着在那三天里，三位一体并没有「缺了一位」。圣子的神性从未与圣父和圣灵分离。但圣子确实在人性中经历了真实的死亡和埋葬，然后在第三天以复活的荣耀身体从死里复活。
This touches the deepest mystery in Christology — the hypostatic union. Jesus Christ is one person possessing two complete natures: full deity and full humanity. These two natures are united in one person without confusion, change, division, or separation.
On the cross, it was the person of Jesus Christ who died according to His human nature. The divine nature is immortal and eternal and cannot experience death. Yet because it was a divine person (the Son) who suffered and died, the sacrifice of the cross has infinite value and efficacy — sufficient to atone for all humanity's sin.
This also means the Trinity was not 'missing a member' during those three days. The Son's divine nature was never separated from the Father and Spirit. But the Son truly experienced real death and burial in His humanity, then rose on the third day in a glorified resurrection body.
