Parables of the Kingdom 天国的比喻 太13:24-43 Parables of the Kingdom

13:24耶稣对他们另外讲了一个比喻,说:“天国好像人把好的种子撒在田里。25人们睡了的时候,他的仇敌来把稗子撒在麦子中间,就走了。26到了发苗吐穗的时候,稗子也显出来。27仆人都前来问家主【田主】:‘主人,你不是把好的种子撒在田里吗？那些稗子是从哪里来的呢？’28他回答,:‘这是仇敌所作的。’仆人问他:‘你要我们去拔掉它吗？’29 他说:‘不用,因为拔稗子的时候,恐怕也把麦子连根拔出来。30收割之前,让它们一同生长。到了收割的时候,我会吩咐收割的工人先拔掉稗子,捆起来,留着焚烧,却要把麦子收进我的仓里。’” Mat 13:24 He put another parable before them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field, 25 but while his men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and went away. 26 So when the plants came up and bore grain, then the weeds appeared also. 27 And the servants of the master of the house came and said to him, ‘Master, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have weeds?’ 28 He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ So the servants said to him, ‘Then do you want us to go and gather them?’ 29 But he said, ‘No, lest in gathering the weeds you root up the wheat along with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest, and at harvest time I will tell the reapers, Gather the weeds first and bind them in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my barn.’”

V36耶稣离开群众,进到屋里,门徒前来问他:“请你给我们解释田里稗子的比喻。”37他回答:“那撒好种子的是人子,38田就是世界,好种子就是属天国的人【天国之子】,稗子就是属那恶者的人【恶者之子】,39撒稗子的仇敌是魔鬼,收割的时候是这世代的终结,收割的工人是天使。40稗子怎样被拔掉用火焚烧,在这世代终结的时候,也是一样。41 那时,人子要差派他的使者,把一切使人犯罪的事和不法之徒【作恶的】,从他的国中拔掉,42 丢进火炉,在那里必要哀哭切齿。43那时,义人在他们父的国中,要像太阳一样的照耀【发出光】。有耳的,就应当听。 Mat 13:36 Then he left the crowds and went into the house. And his disciples came to him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds of the field.“ 37 He answered, ”The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man. 38 The field is the world, and the good seed is the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one, 39 and the enemy who sowed them is the devil. The harvest is the close of the age, and the reapers are angels. 40 Just as the weeds are gathered and burned with fire, so will it be at the close of the age. 41 The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all causes of sin and all law-breakers, 42 and throw them into the fiery furnace. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.

Mat 13:31耶稣又对他们讲了另外一个比喻,说:“天国好像一粒芥菜种,人拿去把它种在田里。32 它是种子中最小的,但长大了,却比其他的蔬菜【菜】都大,成为一棵树,甚至天空的飞鸟也来在它的枝头搭窝【来宿在他的枝上】。”33 他对他们讲了另一个比喻:“天国好像面酵,妇女拿去放【藏】在三斗面里,直到全团发起来。”V34耶稣用比喻向群众讲了这一切,他所讲的,没有不用比喻的。35这就应验了先知所说的:“我要开口用比喻,把创世以来隐秘的事说出来。” Mat 13:31 He put another parable before them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his field. 32 It is the smallest of all seeds, but when it has grown it is larger than all the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches.” 33 He told them another parable. “The kingdom of heaven is like leaven that a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, till it was all leavened.” 34 All these things Jesus said to the crowds in parables; indeed, he said nothing to them without a parable. 35 This was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet: "I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter what has been hidden since the foundation of the world."

Mat 13:31耶稣又对他们讲了另外一个比喻,说:“天国好像一粒芥菜种,人拿去把它种在田里。32 它是种子中最小的,但长大了,却比其他的蔬菜【菜】都大,成为一棵树,甚至天空的飞鸟也来在它的枝头搭窝【来宿在他的枝上】。”33 他对他们讲了另一个比喻:“天国好像面酵,妇女拿去放【藏】在三斗面里,直到全团发起来。”34耶稣用比喻向群众讲了这一切,他所讲的,没有不用比喻的。35这就应验了先知所说的:“我要开口用比喻,把创世以来隐秘的事说出来。” Mat 13:31 He put another parable before them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his field. 32 It is the smallest of all seeds, but when it has grown it is larger than all the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches.” 33 He told them another parable. “The kingdom of heaven is like leaven that a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, till it was all leavened.” 34 All these things Jesus said to the crowds in parables; indeed, he said nothing to them without a parable. 35 This was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet: "I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter what has been hidden since the foundation of the world."

Rom 3:21 现在，有律法和先知的话可以证明：上帝的义在律法之外已经显明出来，22 就是上帝的义，因着信耶稣基督，毫无区别地临到所有信的人。23 因为人人都犯了罪，亏缺了上帝的荣耀，24 但他们却因着上帝的恩典，借着在基督耶稣里的救赎，就白白地称义。 Rom 3:21 But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it-- 22 the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,

Rom 3:23 因为人人都犯了罪，亏缺了上帝的荣耀，24 但他们却因着上帝的恩典，借着在基督耶稣里的救赎，就白白地称义。25 上帝设立了耶稣为赎罪祭【挽回祭】是凭着他的血，借着人的信，为的是要显明上帝的义；因为上帝用忍耐的心宽容了人从前所犯的罪，… Rom 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 25 whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God's righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins.

圣餐

圣餐在新的约中取代了旧的约中的逾越节 Holy Communion replaces the passover meal

 Exo 12:21 于是，摩西把以色列的众长老召了来，对他们说：“你们要按着家族自己选取羊羔，把这逾越节的羊羔宰杀了。22 要拿一把牛膝草，蘸在盆中的血里，然后把盆里的血涂在门楣上和两边的门柱上；你们谁也不可出自己的房门，直到早晨。23 因为耶和华要走遍各处击打埃及人；他一看见门楣和两边的门柱上有血，就越过那门，不让那毁灭者进入你们的房屋来击杀你们。  Exo 12:21 Then Moses called all the elders of Israel and said to them, "Go and select lambs for yourselves according to your clans, and kill the Passover lamb. 22 Take a bunch of hyssop and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and touch the lintel and the two doorposts with the blood that is in the basin. None of you shall go out of the door of his house until the morning. 23 For the LORD will pass through to strike the Egyptians, and when he sees the blood on the lintel and on the two doorposts, the LORD will pass over the door and will not allow the destroyer to enter your houses to strike you.

1Co 5:7 你们既是无酵的面，就应当把旧酵( jiao )除净，好让你们成为新的面团；因为我们逾越节的羊羔基督已经被杀献祭了。 1Co 5:7 Cleanse out the old leaven that you may be a new lump, as you really are unleavened. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.

Col 1:20 并且借着他在十字架上所流的血成就了和平，使万有，无论是地上天上的，都借着他与上帝和好了。 Col 1:20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.

因为耶稣，上帝的审判越过我们 Because of what Jesus has done for us , God’s judgment has pass over us

  Mat 26:26 他们吃的时候，耶稣拿起饼来，祝谢了就擘开，递给门徒，说：“你们拿去吃吧，这是我的身体。”27 耶稣又拿起杯来，祝谢了就递给他们，说：“你们都喝吧，28 这是我的血，是为立约的，为许多人流出来，使罪得赦。29 我告诉你们，从今以后我必不再喝这葡萄酒，直到我和你们在我父的国里喝新酒的那一天。” Mat 26:26 Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.” 27 And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, saying, “Drink of it, all of you, 28 for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. 29 I tell you I will not drink again of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom."

威斯敏特信条 Westminister Confession of Faith 在1643年，查理士王（Charles）当政之时，当时的议院的议员有许多是清教徒（他们被称为清教徒，是因为他们热衷与正统的神学教义与敬虔的敬拜）。 这群清教徒是深受改教家加尔文神学的影响。他们期盼重整英国教会，于是在威斯敏特大教堂召开了一个大型的议会。

这议会中包括121位牧师，30位议院议员，及8位苏格兰代表。大家则一致认同改教家加尔文的观点，并否定罗马天主教及反对预定论的阿民念派。 经过三年的讨论，议会于1646年12月完成了《威斯敏特信条》，写出教会应当认信的教义。信条的内容是完整、精确、简洁、平衡的，因为每一个句子都经过小组的讨论及长久的公开的辩论。

这信条后来也影响了苏格兰的教会。之后也随着一些清教徒移民到美国，而成为了许多长老会的主要信条。此信条是加尔文神学，清教徒神学的结晶，共有三十三章，其特色有下列几点： 信条包含有关圣经、上帝、世人、基督、救赎、教会及末世的教导。

身为改革宗的教会之一，我们接受《威斯敏特信条》为我们所认信的告白。 未来的长老与执事们都必须认信 《威斯敏特信条》的整体系统中的教义system of doctrines。此信条的权威永远必须降伏在圣经的权威之下。

圣餐

圣餐是主与百姓立约后所享用的 圣餐是信徒在约内的印记与记号 圣餐是主与百姓立约后所享用的 圣餐是信徒在约内的印记与记号 出埃及记 20章 （神赐十诫）与以色列立约 出21:1 你要在众民面前订立的典章是这样的 。… 接下来神在约中颁布律法。

Exo 24:4 摩西把耶和华的一切话都记下了【将耶和华的命令都写上】；清早起来，在山下筑了一座祭坛，按着以色列十二支派立了十二根柱子。5 又派了以色列人中的青年人去献燔祭，又向耶和华杀牛献为平安祭。6 摩西取了一半的血，盛在盆中；又取了另一半的血，洒在祭坛上。7 他又把约书拿过来，念给人民听；他们说：“耶和华吩咐的一切话，我们都必遵行和听从。”

Exo 24:8 摩西就取了血来，洒在人民的身上，说：“看哪，这是立约的血，这约是耶和华按着这一切话与你们立的。”9 随后，摩西、亚伦、拿答、亚比户和以色列长老中的七十人都上了山。10 他们看见了以色列的上帝；在上帝的脚下有好像蓝宝石一样晶莹的铺路，好像天色一般明亮。11 他不伸手攻击以色列人中的显贵；他们看见上帝，并且又吃又喝。

圣经证明了以色列无法遵守上帝透过摩西给的西乃山上之约。世人（罪人）无人能守住上帝约中的律法。  （1）耶稣为我们完全守住了前约。 （2）耶稣为我们承担了违背前约所带来的咒诅与刑罚 （3） 耶稣把新约（神向亚伯拉罕和祂“后裔”立约的应许福份）白白赐下给了我们。

Luk 22:19 他拿起饼来，感谢了，擘开递给他们，说：“这是我的身体，为你们舍的，你们应当这样行，为的是记念我。”20 饭后，他照样拿起杯来，说：“这杯是用我的血所立的新约，这血是为你们流的。

Heb 8:6 （取自旧约：耶31:31-34) 如今耶稣所得的职任是更美的，正如他作更美之约 的中保；这约原是凭更美之应许立的。7 那前约若没 有瑕疵，就无处寻求後约了。8 所以主指著他的百姓 说（或作：所以主指前约的缺欠说）：日子将到， 我要与以色列家和犹大家另立新约，9 不像我拉著他 们祖宗的手，领他们出埃及的时候，与他们所立的 约。因为他们不恒心守我的约，我也不理他们。这 是主说的。 

Heb 8:10 （耶31:31-34) 10 主又说：那些日子以後，我与以色列家所立的约乃是这 样：我要将我的律法放在他们里面，写在他们心上；我要 作他们的神；他们要作我的子民。11 他们不用各人教导自 己的乡邻和自己的弟兄，说：你该认识主；因为他们从最 小的到至大的，都必认识我。12 我要宽恕他们的不义，不 再记念他们的罪愆。13 既说新约。就以前约为旧了；但那 渐旧渐衰的，就必快归无有了。

圣餐提醒我们主与我们的约 耶稣说：这杯是用我的血所立的新约 圣灵把上帝的律法放在我们心里（爱神、爱人） 上帝要作我们的神；我们要作祂的子民。 重生的生命：从内心里认识神，有圣灵作见证 神要宽恕我们的不义，不再记念我们的罪愆。 不再靠旧约中的律法得救。耶稣拯救了我们。
