5 I. God will respond to this provoking busy world. 神對這個惹祂怒的世代必有反應.
5於是以利亞照著耶和華的話，去住在約但河東的基立溪旁。 6烏鴉早晚給他叼餅和肉來，他也喝那溪裡的水。7過了些日 子，溪水就乾了，因為雨沒有下在地上。【王上 17:5~7】 5So he did what the LORD had told him. He went to the Kerith Ravine, east of the Jordan, and stayed there. 6The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning and bread and meat in the evening, and he drank from the brook. 7Some time later the brook dried up because there had been no rain in the land. 【1King 17:5~7】

Paul 保羅 17也沒有上耶路撒冷去見那些比我先作使徒的，惟獨往亞 拉伯去，後又回到大馬色。18過了三年，才上耶路撒冷去 見磯法，和他同住了十五天。【加 1:17~18】 17nor did I go up to Jerusalem to see those who were apostles before I was, but I went immediately into Arabia and later returned to Damascus. 18Then after three years, I went up to Jerusalem to get acquainted with Peter and stayed with him fifteen days. 【Gal 1:17~18】

8耶和華的話臨到他說：9你起身往西頓的撒勒法去(撒勒法與路加 福音四章二十六節同)，住在那裡；我已吩咐那裡的一個寡婦供養 你。10以利亞就起身往撒勒法去。到了城門，見有一個寡婦在那 裡撿柴，以利亞呼叫他說：求你用器皿取點水來給我喝。 8Then the word of the LORD came to him: 9"Go at once to Zarephath of Sidon and stay there. I have commanded a widow in that place to supply you with food." 10So he went to Zarephath. When he came to the town gate, a widow was there gathering sticks. He called to her and asked, "Would you bring me a little water in a jar so I may have a drink?" 【1King 17:8~10】

17 III. God trains us to have faith 神訓練我們有信心 (1 Kings 17:8-16)
11他去取水的時候，以利亞又呼叫他說：也求你拿點餅來給我！ 12他說：我指著永生耶和華─你的　 神起誓，我沒有餅，罈內只 有一把麵，瓶裡只有一點油；我現在找兩根柴，回家要為我和 我兒子做餅；我們吃了，死就死罷！【王上 17:11~12】 11As she was going to get it, he called, "And bring me, please, a piece of bread." 12"As surely as the LORD your God lives," she replied, "I don't have any bread--only a handful of flour in a jar and a little oil in a jug. I am gathering a few sticks to take home and make a meal for myself and my son, that we may eat it--and die." 【1King 17:11~12】

18 III. God trains us to have faith 神訓練我們有信心 (1 Kings 17:8-16)
13以利亞對他說：不要懼怕！可以照你所說的去做罷！只要先為 我做一個小餅拿來給我，然後為你和你的兒子做餅。14因為耶和 華─以色列的　 神如此說：罈內的麵必不減少，瓶裡的油必不缺 短，直到耶和華使雨降在地上的日子。【王上 17:13-14】 13Elijah said to her, "Don't be afraid. Go home and do as you have said. But first make a small cake of bread for me from what you have and bring it to me, and then make something for yourself and your son. 14For this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: 'The jar of flour will not be used up and the jug of oil will not run dry until the day the LORD gives rain on the land.'" 【1King 17:13-14】

19 III. God trains us to have faith 神訓練我們有信心 (1 Kings 17:8-16)
15婦人就照以利亞的話去行。他和他家中的人，並以利亞， 吃了許多日子。16罈內的麵果不減少，瓶裡的油也不缺短， 正如耶和華藉以利亞所說的話。【王上 17:15~16】 15She went away and did as Elijah had told her. So there was food every day for Elijah and for the woman and her family. 16For the jar of flour was not used up and the jug of oil did not run dry, in keeping with the word of the LORD spoken by Elijah. 【1King 17:15~16】

21 B. The widow will be blessed. 這寡婦要蒙福.
12他說：我指著永生耶和華─你的　 神起誓，我沒有餅， 罈內只有一把麵，瓶裡只有一點油；我現在找兩根柴， 回家要為我和我兒子做餅；我們吃了，死就死罷！【王 上 17:12】 12"As surely as the LORD your God lives," she replied, "I don't have any bread--only a handful of flour in a jar and a little oil in a jug. I am gathering a few sticks to take home and make a meal for myself and my son, that we may eat it- -and die." 【1King 17:12】

22 9你要以財物和一切初熟的土產尊榮耶和華。10這樣，你 的倉房必充滿有餘；你的酒醡有新酒盈溢。【箴 3:9~10】 9Honor the LORD with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops; 10then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine. 【Prov 3:9~10】

23 14因為耶和華─以色列的　神如此說：罈內的麵必不減少， 瓶裡的油必不缺短，直到耶和華使雨降在地上的日子。 【王上 17:14】 14For this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: 'The jar of flour will not be used up and the jug of oil will not run dry until the day the LORD gives rain on the land.'" 【1King 17:14】

IV. God trains us to experience the resurrected power. 神訓練我們經歷復活的能力 (1 Kings 17:17-24). 3豈不知我們這受洗歸入基督耶穌的人是受洗歸入他的死麼？4所 以，我們藉著洗禮歸入死，和他一同埋葬，原是叫我們一舉一動 有新生的樣式，像基督藉著父的榮耀從死裡復活一樣。5我們若在 他死的形狀上與他聯合，也要在他復活的形狀上與他聯合； 3Or don't you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. 5If we have been united with him like this in his death, we will certainly also be united with him in his resurrection. 【Rom 6:3~5】

He grew worse and worse, and finally stopped breathing. 18She said to Elijah, "What do you have against me, man of God? Did you come to remind me of my sin and kill my son?" 19"Give me your son," Elijah replied. He took him from her arms, carried him to the upper room where he was staying, and laid him on his bed. 【1King 17:17~19】

He gave him to his mother and said, "Look, your son is alive!" 24Then the woman said to Elijah, "Now I know that you are a man of God and that the word of the LORD from your mouth is the truth." 【1King 17:23~24】

28 Nazarite Vow 拿細耳人的願 6在他離俗歸耶和華的一切日子，不可挨近死屍。7他的父 母或是弟兄姊妹死了的時候，他不可因他們使自己不潔 淨，因為那離俗歸　 神的憑據是在他頭上。【民 6:6~7】 6Throughout the period of his separation to the LORD he must not go near a dead body. 7Even if his own father or mother or brother or sister dies, he must not make himself ceremonially unclean on account of them, because the symbol of his separation to God is on his head. 【Num 6:6~7】

29 Conclusion 結論 24婦人對以利亞說：現在我知道你是　神人，耶和華藉你 口所說的話是真的。【王上 17:24】 24Then the woman said to Elijah, "Now I know that you are a man of God and that the word of the LORD from your mouth is the truth." 【1King 17:24】 10你們要休息，要知道我是　神！我必在外邦中被尊崇， 在遍地上也被尊崇。【詩 46:10】 10"Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth." 【Ps 46:10】
