Feb 09【每日活水】确信主大能的权柄

 

路加福音7:1~10

治好百夫长的仆人
(太8‧5-13)
1  耶稣对百姓讲完了这一切的话,就进了迦百农。 
2  有一个百夫长所宝贵的仆人害病,快要死了。 
3  百夫长风闻耶稣的事,就托犹太人的几个长老去求耶稣来救他的仆人。 
4  他们到了耶稣那里,就切切地求他说:「你给他行这事是他所配得的; 
5  因为他爱我们的百姓,给我们建造会堂。」 
6  耶稣就和他们同去。离那家不远,百夫长托几个朋友去见耶稣,对他说:「主啊!不要劳动;因你到我舍下,我不敢当。 
7  我也自以为不配去见你,只要你说一句话,我的仆人就必好了。 
8  因为我在人的权下,也有兵在我以下,对这个说:『去!』他就去;对那个说:『来!』他就来;对我的仆人说:『你做这事!』他就去做。」 
9  耶稣听见这话,就希奇他,转身对跟随的众人说:「我告诉你们,这么大的信心,就是在以色列中,我也没有遇见过。」 
10  那托来的人回到百夫长家里,看见仆人已经好了。

The Faith of the Centurion
1  When Jesus had finished saying all this to the people who were listening, he entered Capernaum. 
2  There a centurion’s servant, whom his master valued highly, was sick and about to die. 
3  The centurion heard of Jesus and sent some elders of the Jews to him, asking him to come and heal his servant. 
4  When they came to Jesus, they pleaded earnestly with him, “This man deserves to have you do this, 
5  because he loves our nation and has built our synagogue.” 
6  So Jesus went with them.
He was not far from the house when the centurion sent friends to say to him: “Lord, don’t trouble yourself, for I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. 
7  That is why I did not even consider myself worthy to come to you. But say the word, and my servant will be healed. 
8  For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and that one, ‘Come,’ and he comes. I say to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”
9  When Jesus heard this, he was amazed at him, and turning to the crowd following him, he said, “I tell you, I have not found such great faith even in Israel.”
10  Then the men who had been sent returned to the house and found the servant well.

百夫长(2节):在罗马军队中管理一百名士兵的指挥官。
会堂(5节):会堂是犹太人为了敬拜神和教导旧约圣经而设立的聚会场所,罗马帝国的百夫长为犹太人
建造会堂,可见其信心之笃。
彼前1:8「虽然你们没有见过他,却是爱他;如今虽看不见,你们却因信他而有说不出来、满有荣光的喜乐。」

灵修指南

当耶稣进入迦百农时,有几位犹太长老前来找他,这些长老是代表一位百夫长前来,这位百夫长所器重的仆人害了病,快要死了,他因风闻了耶稣的事,便托人来求耶稣救他的仆人(3节),这位百夫长因其对犹太民族的爱和为他们建造会堂而备受犹太人尊敬。当耶稣快要到他家时,百夫长却托几个朋友来见耶稣,请耶稣不需要劳身到他家里(6~7节)。百夫长的信心源于他确信主大能的权柄,就像他自己在军队里可以透过命令来统管他的士兵一样。耶稣听到他的话之后大感惊奇,并大大称赞了他的信心。甚愿我们效法百夫长的信心,即使没有亲眼见过耶稣,也相信主大能的权柄,并且爱他,又因信他而有说不出来、满有荣光的喜乐(参彼前1:8)。
 

内室祷告

求神赐我信心,使我虽眼未曾见,却仍然确信主大能的权柄。
