太7:24-27 所以,凡听见我这话就去行的,好比一个聪明人,把房子盖在磐石上。 雨淋,水冲,风吹,撞着那房子,房子总不倒塌,因为根基立在磐石上。 凡听见我这话不去行的,好比一个无知的人,把房子盖在沙土上。 雨淋,水冲,风吹,撞着那房子,房子就倒塌了,并且倒塌得很大。"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash." 基督徒的生活可能很复杂,也可以很简单。若用最简单的一句话来说,那就是做一个听见主的话,就去行的人。借着操练对主话语一句一句的顺服,叫我们走上这得胜生命的道路。 问题1)你如何评价自己对主话语顺服的程度? 问题2)你觉得顺服主道最大的难处在哪里? 问题3)有何具体的措施可以帮助自己越发地顺服主道? 恩典、速速、快、直奔、 默想、背诵、施行
路1:37-38 因为出于神的话,没有一句不带能力的。马利亚说:我是主的使女,情愿照你的话成就在我身上。For nothing is impossible with God. I am the Lord's servant," Mary answered. "May it be to me as you have said." Then the angel left her. (Luk 1:37~38) 路11:27-28 耶稣正说这话的时候,众人中间,有一个女人大声说:怀你胎的和乳养你的有福了。 耶稣说:是,却还不如听神之道而遵守的人有福。As Jesus was saying these things, a woman in the crowd called out, "Blessed is the mother who gave you birth and nursed you. “He replied, "Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it." (Luk 11:27~28)
Christian’s life is easy or difficult 基督徒生活的难与易 Christian’s life is easy or difficult 1)难!难于上青天! Difficult! Just like jumping up to the heaven. 2)易!就在你脚下! Easy! Just like walking on the road under your feet.
申30:11-14 我今日所吩咐你的诫命,不是你难行的,也不是离你远的。 不是在天上,使你说:‘谁替我们上天取下来,使我们听见可以遵行呢?’也不是在海外,使你说:‘谁替我们过海取了来,使我们听见可以遵行呢?’这话却离你甚近,就在你口中,在你心里,使你可以遵行。 Now what I am commanding you today is not too difficult for you or beyond your reach. It is not up in heaven, so that you have to ask, “Who will ascend into heaven to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?“Nor is it beyond the sea, so that you have to ask, ”Who will cross the sea to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?“No, the word is very near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart so you may obey it. (Deu 30:11~14) 不远
太7:21凡称呼我主阿、主阿的人,不能都进天国。惟独遵行我天父旨意的人,才能进去。"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. (Mat 7:21) 申命记29:29隐秘的事,是属耶和华我们 神的;惟有明显的事,是永远属我们和我们子孙的,好叫我们遵行这律法上的一切话。The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the words of this law. (Deu 29:29) 惟独圣经;惟独恩典;%%%%%%%惟独遵行%%%%%%%
雅各1:22-25 只是你们要行道,不要单单听道,自己欺哄自己。因为听道而不行道的,就像人对着镜子看自己本来的面目,看见、走后,随即忘了他的相貌如何。惟有详细察看那全备使人自由之律法的,并且时常如此,这人既不是听了就忘,乃是实在行出来,就在他所行的事上必然得福。Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it--he will be blessed in what he does. (Jam 1:22~25)
顺服主道的马利亚 蒙大恩的女子 路1:28 天使进去,对她说:蒙大恩的女子,我问你安,主和你同在了。The angel went to her and said, "Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.“ (Luk 1:28) 万代称她有福 路1:48 因为他顾念他使女的卑微。从今以后、万代要称我有福。for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed, (Luk 1:48) 路11:27-28 耶稣正说这话的时候,众人中间,有一个女人大声说:怀你胎的和乳养你的有福了。 耶稣说:是,却还不如听 神之道而遵守的人有福。As Jesus was saying these things, a woman in the crowd called out, "Blessed is the mother who gave you birth and nursed you. “He replied, "Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it." (Luk 11:27~28)
(一)情愿照你的话成就在我身上 May it be to me as you have said -走上一条“心被刺透”的路(路2:35) -Walk on the road of “pierced by sword”(Luk 2:35) 未婚夫要休她(太1:18-19) 人用石头把她打死 怀孕走远路的苦楚(路2:4-7) 生儿子在马槽里 怕儿子被杀而逃命 看儿女被本城人撵出(路4:29) 在耶路撒冷的路上(路23:27) 在十字架底下 在墓前 母亲更难过
(二)顺服主道从心里开始 To obey Lord’s Word form heart 路1:29 马利亚因这话就很惊慌,又反复思想这样问安是甚么意思。Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be.(Luk 1:29) 路2:19 马利亚却把这一切的事存在心里,反复思想。But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. (Luk 2:19) 路2:51 他就同他们下去,回到拿撒勒,并且顺从他们。他母亲把这一切的事都存在心里。Then he went down to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them. But his mother treasured all these things in her heart. (Luk 2:51) 便利店的弟兄
诗1:1-3不从恶人的计谋、不站罪人的道路、不坐亵慢人的座位;惟喜爱耶和华的律法,昼夜思想,这人便为有福。他要像一棵树栽在溪水旁,按时候结果子,叶子也不枯干。凡他所作的,尽都顺利。Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers. (Psa 1:1~3) “一分钱都不要你的” 你想什么???
雅1:15私欲既怀了胎,就生出罪来。罪既长成,就生出死来。Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.(Jam 1:15) 箴23:7 因为他心怎样思量、他为人就是怎样.or he is the kind of man who is always thinking about the cost. "Eat and drink," he says to you, but his heart is not with you.(Pro 23:7) 英文谚语:思想、行为、习惯、品格
真正的顺服从心里开始:Real obedience is from heart 林后10:5 将各样的计谋,各样拦阻人认识 神的那些自高之事一概攻破了,又将人所有的心意夺回,使他都顺服基督。We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. (2Co 10:5) 天国的律:The law of kingdom of heaven 路17:21因为 神的国就在你们心里。nor will people say, 'Here it is,' or 'There it is,' because the kingdom of God is within you.“ (Luk 17:21) 太5:28 只是我告诉你们,凡看见妇女就动淫念的,这人心里已经与她犯奸淫了。But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.(Mat 5:28) 美国弟兄的见证
(三)听见就遵行 Obey when heard 1)快快地遵行 doing quickly: 路1:39 那时候马利亚起身、急忙往山地里去。At that time Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judea,(Luk 1:39) 箴7:2 遵守我的命令,就得存活;保守我的法则好像保守眼中的瞳人。Keep my commands and you will live; guard my teachings as the apple of your eye.(Pro 7:2) 诗119:32 你开广我心的时候,我就往你命令的道上直奔。Though rulers sit together and slander me, your servant will meditate on your decrees.(Psa 119:23) 雅各4:14 其实明天如何、你们还不知道。你们的生命是甚么呢.你们原来是一片云雾、出现少时就不见了。4:14 Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.
2)无条件遵行 Obey unconditionally: 约2:4耶稣说:“母亲(注:原文作“妇人”),我与你有甚么相干?我的时候还没有到。” "Dear woman, why do you involve me?" Jesus replied, "My time has not yet come.“(Joh 2:4) 约2:5 他母亲对用人说:“他告诉你们甚么,你们就做甚么。” His mother said to the servants, "Do whatever he tells you.“(Joh 2:5) 罗6:14 罪必不能作你们的主,因你们不在律法之下,乃在恩典之下。
约19:26-27耶稣见母亲和他所爱的那门徒站在旁边,就对他母亲说:母亲,〔原文作妇人〕看你的儿子。又对那门徒说:看你的母亲。从此那门徒就接他到自己家里去了。When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to his mother, "Dear woman, here is your son,"and to the disciple, "Here is your mother." From that time on, this disciple took her into his home. (The Death of Jesus ) (Joh 19:26~27)
3)表现在对人和环境的顺服上: be obedient to the people and environment 路2:1 当那些日子,凯撒亚古士督有旨意下来,叫天下人民都报名上册。In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world.(Luk2:1) (何以神没有拣选中国人);政府;约瑟;环境;
路2:4-7 约瑟也从加利利的拿撒勒城上犹太去,到了大卫的城,名叫伯利恒。因他本是大卫一族一家的人, 要和他所聘之妻马利亚一同报名上册。那时马利亚的身孕已经重了。 他们在那里的时候,马利亚的产期到了, 就生了头胎的儿子,用布包起来,放在马槽里,因为客店里没有地方。 So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. (The Shepherds and the Angels ) (Luk 2:4~7)
弥5:2“伯利恒、以法他啊,你在犹大诸城中为小,将来必有一位从你那里出来,在以色列中为我作掌权的;他的根源从亘古、从太初就有。” "But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel, whose origins are from of old, from ancient times. “(Mic 5:2) 箴24:29 不可说:“人怎样待我,我也怎样待他,我必照他所行的报复他。” Do not say, "I'll do to him as he has done to me; I'll pay that man back for what he did.“ (Pro 24:29)
太7:12 所以无论何事、你们愿意人怎样待你们、你们也要怎样待人.因为这就是律法和先知的道理。So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets. (The Narrow and Wide Gates ) (Mat 7:12) 路6:48 他像一个人盖房子,深深的挖地,把根基安在磐石上。到发大水的时候,水冲那房子,房子总不能摇动,因为根基立在磐石上。He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built.(Luk 6:48)
犹太寓言 Jewish fable 赛65:25 豺狼必与羊羔同食,狮子必吃草与牛一样,尘土必作蛇的食物,在我圣山的遍处,这一切都不伤人不害物,这是耶和华说的。The wolf and the lamb will feed together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox, but dust will be the serpent's food. They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain," says the LORD .(Isa 65:25) 狐狸、公鸡、猎狗
(四)因顺服带出赐生命圣灵的律 路1:34-35 马利亚对天使说:我没有出嫁,怎么有这事呢?天使回答说:圣灵要临到你身上,至高者的能力要荫庇你。因此所要生的圣者,必称为 神的儿子。"How will this be," Mary asked the angel, "since I am a virgin?“The angel answered, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God.(Luk 1:34~35) 路1:37-38 因为出于 神的话,没有一句不带能力的。马利亚说:我是主的使女,情愿照你的话成就在我身上。For nothing is impossible with God.“"I am the Lord's servant," Mary answered. "May it be to me as you have said." Then the angel left her. (Luk 1:37~38) 赐生命圣灵的律 罗8:
约6:63 叫人活着的乃是灵,肉体是无益的;我对你们所说的话,就是灵,就是生命。The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life.(Luk 6:63) 罗7:24-25 我真是苦阿!谁能救我脱离这取死的身体呢?感谢 神、靠着我们的主耶稣基督就能脱离了。What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to God--through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God's law, but in the sinful nature a slave to the law of sin.(Rom 7:24~25)
罗8:2 因为赐生命圣灵的律、在基督耶稣里释放了我、使我脱离罪和死的律了because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death.(Rom 8:2) 约1:14 道成了肉身,住在我们中间,充充满满的有恩典有真理。我们也见过他的荣光,正是父独生子的荣光。The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. (Joh 1:14)
约7:17 人若立志遵着他的旨意行、就必晓得这教训或是出于 神、或是我凭着自己说的。If anyone chooses to do God's will, he will find out whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own. (Joh 7:17) 约2:10 “人都是先摆上好酒,等客喝足了,才摆上次的;你倒把好酒留到如今!” and said, "Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now."
