挑选十二MEN TU
12 那时, YS 出去,上山dao告,整夜dao告 SHEN ;
13 到了天亮,叫他的MEN TU来,就从他们中间挑选十二个人,称他们为使/徒。
14 这十二个人有西门( YS 又给他起名叫彼/得),还有他兄弟安得烈,又有雅/各和约/翰,腓力和巴多罗买,
15 马太和多马,亚勒腓的儿子雅各和奋锐党的西门,
16 雅各的儿子犹/大,和卖主的加略人犹/大。
向群众传道
17 YS 和他们下了山,站在一块平地上;同站的有许多门/徒,又有许多百姓,从犹太全地和耶路撒冷,并泰尔、西顿的海边来,都要听他讲道,又指望医治他们的病;
19 众人都想要摸他;因为有能力从他身上发出来,医好了他们。
The Twelve Apostles
12 One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and spent the night praying to God.
13 When morning came, he called his disciples to him and chose twelve of them, whom he also designated apostles:
14 Simon (whom he named Peter), his brother Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew,
15 Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Simon who was called the Zealot,
16 Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.
Blessings and Woes
17 He went down with them and stood on a level place. A large crowd of his disciples was there and a great number of people from all over Judea, from Jerusalem, and from the coastal region around Tyre and Sidon,
18 who had come to hear him and to be healed of their diseases. Those troubled by impure spirits were cured,
19 and the people all tried to touch him, because power was coming from him and healing them all.
1. YS 在哪里dao告,dao告了多久?(12节)
2. YS dao告之后做了什么?(13节)
3. YS 为什么在拣选门/徒之前,整夜向 SHEN dao告?
4.看到 SHEN 的儿子 YS 在进行重要的事之前整夜dao告,我有什么感想?
5.我何时曾在重要的选择面前忽略了dao告,结果事情不尽如人意?
6.为了不再倚靠自己的聪明和经验,而是藉着dao告寻求 SHEN 的帮助,我决定要怎么做?
今天的经/文讲的是 YS 拣选十二门/徒,并称他们为使/徒的事件。 YS 拣选了十二门/徒,让我们联想起 SHEN 选召以色列十二支派来建立 SHEN 国这一事工。我们知道, YS 升天之后,因着使/徒的事工, JH 被建立, SHEN 的国得以扩张。今天的经/文明确而又详细地记载了 YS 在拣选MEN TU之前所做的事,经/文说:“ YS 出去,上山祈/祷,整夜向 SHEN dao告。”(12节) Bible 多处记载了 YS 藉着dao告与 SHEN 交通,但是描写 YS 整夜向 SHEN dao告的内容只有这一处,可见愈是在重要的选择面前, YS 愈是寻求和倚靠 SHEN 。从人的角度来看,我们可能会认为, YS 是 SHEN ,即使 TA 不dao告也能做出正确的选择,但是, YS 在这地上服事的时候,始终坚持藉着dao告来开展自己的事工。没有罪的 YS 尚且藉着dao告来开展事工,那么我们作为信心容易动摇、容易在试探中跌倒的人,就更应该要dao告了。
愿我铭记,唯有藉著dao告,我的灵命才得存活,求 SHEN 使我凡事藉着dao告而行。
