Mar 04【每日活水】爱邻如己

 

路加福音10:25~37

好撒马利亚人
25  有一个律法师起来试探耶稣, 说:「夫子!我该做什么才可以承受永生?」 
26  耶稣对他说:「律法上写的是什么?你念的是怎样呢?」 
27  他回答说:「你要尽心、尽性、尽力、尽意爱主-你的 神;又要爱邻舍如同自己。」 
28  耶稣说:「你回答的是;你这样行,就必得生。」 
29  那人要显明自己有理,就对耶稣说:「谁是我的邻舍呢?」 
30  耶稣回答说:「有一个人从耶路撒冷耶利哥去,落在强盗手中。他们剥去他的衣裳,把他打个半死,就丢下他走了。 
31  偶然有一个祭司从这条路下来,看见他就从那边过去了。 
32  又有一个利未人来到这地方,看见他,也照样从那边过去了。 
33  惟有一个撒马利亚人行路来到那里,看见他就动了慈心, 
34  上前用油和酒倒在他的伤处,包裹好了,扶他骑上自己的牲口,带到店里去照应他。 
35  第二天拿出二钱银子来,交给店主,说:『你且照应他;此外所费用的,我回来必还你。』 
36  你想,这三个人哪一个是落在强盗手中的邻舍呢?」 
37  他说:「是怜悯他的。」耶稣说:「你去照样行吧。」
The Parable of the Good Samaritan
25  On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
26   “What is written in the Law?”he replied. “How do you read it?”
27  He answered, “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
28   “You have answered correctly,”Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.”
29  But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
30  In reply Jesus said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead.
31  A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side.
32  So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.
33  But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him.
34  He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him.
35  The next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.’
36   “Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?”
37  The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.”
Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”

耶利哥(30节):耶利哥距离耶路撒冷35公里,两地途中常有强盗出没。
玛利亚人(33节):北国以色列亡国后的遗民,在宗教及血缘上与外邦混杂,因此受到犹太人的歧视。
申6:5「你要尽心、尽性、尽力爱耶和华——你的神。」
利19:18「不可报仇,也不可埋怨你本国的子民。你要爱邻如己。我是耶和华。」

灵修指南

有一个律法师为要试探耶稣,就提问说:「我该做什么才可以承受永生?」事实上,律法师在来到耶稣面前之前,心中就已经有了答案。当耶稣问到律法的核心時,律法师回答是「爱神和爱邻舍」(参申6:5:利19:18),于是耶稣吩咐他照着遵行(28节)。而律法师为了证明自己有理,就又问耶稣「谁是我的邻舍」。考虑到当时犹太人对外邦人的态度,这位律法师所想到的邻舍必定是其他犹太人,但耶稣却透过「好撒玛利亚人」的比喻,说明那个怜悯并照顾落在强盗手中之人的撒玛利亚人,才是真正爱邻舍的典范。爱邻舍不是友善地对待那些与我们相处融治之人,而是爱那些难以去爱的人。盼望我们放下自己的偏见和成见,照着耶稣的教导,作一个爱邻如己的主门徒。
 

内室祷告

愿我用神所赐的爱和能力,走向那些我原本难以去爱的人,作一个爱邻如己的主门徒。
