Mar 12【每日活水】俯伏在真理面前

 

路加福音11:45~54

45 律法师中有一个回答耶稣说:「夫子!你这样说也把我们糟蹋了。」

46 耶稣说:「你们律法师也有祸了!因为你们把难担的担子放在人身上,自己一个指头却不肯动。

47 你们有祸了!因为你们修造先知的坟墓,那先知正是你们的祖宗所杀的。

48 可见你们祖宗所做的事,你们又证明又喜欢;因为他们杀了先知,你们修造先知的坟墓。

49 所以 神用智慧曾说:『我要差遣先知和使徒到他们那里去,有的他们要杀害,有的他们要逼迫』,

50 使创世以来所流众先知血的罪都要问在这世代的人身上,

51 就是从亚伯的血起,直到被杀在坛和殿中间撒迦利亚的血为止。我实在告诉你们,这都要问在这世代的人身上。

52 你们律法师有祸了!因为你们把知识的钥匙夺了去,自己不进去,正要进去的人你们也阻挡他们。」

53 耶稣从那里出来,文士和法利赛人就极力地催逼他,引动他多说话,

54私下窥听,要拿他的话柄。

45 One of the experts in the law answered him, “Teacher, when you say these things, you insult us also.”

46 Jesus replied, “And you experts in the law, woe to you, because you load people down with burdens they can hardly carry, and you yourselves will not lift one finger to help them.

47 “Woe to you, because you build tombs for the prophets, and it was your ancestors who killed them.

48 So you testify that you approve of what your ancestors did; they killed the prophets, and you build their tombs.

49 Because of this, God in his wisdom said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles, some of whom they will kill and others they will persecute.’

50 Therefore this generation will be held responsible for the blood of all the prophets that has been shed since the beginning of the world,

51 from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who was killed between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, this generation will be held responsible for it all.

52 “Woe to you experts in the law, because you have taken away the key to knowledge. You yourselves have not entered, and you have hindered those who were entering.”

53 When Jesus went outside, the Pharisees and the teachers of the law began to oppose him fiercely and to besiege him with questions,

54 waiting to catch him in something he might say.

难挑的担子(46节):指律法师对于律法和传统的解释。
先知的坟墓(47节):律法师虽然建造先知的坟墓,可是杀害众先知的就是他们的祖先。
撒迦利亚(51节):名字意思为「耶和华记念」,他在犹大王约阿施时代传讲神的审判,最后被杀。
知识的钥匙(52节):指帮助人们了解和理解神救恩计画的经书解释。
催逼他(53节):意为「从嘴中出来」,指像审问一样的盘问。

灵修指南

听到耶稣的指责,一位律法师起来抗议说:「你这样说也把我们侮辱了。」而面对律法师的抗议,耶稣没有慌张,反而一针见血地指出了问题的核心,并继续责备他们。他指出律法师把神的话按照传统来解释,反而变得让人难以遵守,而且他们的行为就像是他们的祖宗一样,一边杀先知,一边建造先知的坟墓(46~48节)。耶稣指出了律法师的罪,并希望他们能够回转。然而,他们不仅没有谦卑下来听从耶稣的话,反而开始极力地催逼祂,盘问他许多事,伺机要抓祂的话柄。耶稣希望透过真理来更新我们,盼望我们在面对真理的时候,不要像律法师那样执迷不悟,而要以一颗谦卑柔软的心,承认自己的软弱,俯伏在真理的面前,得蒙悔改和恢复的恩典。
 

内室祷告

愿我时常屈膝俯伏在真理面前,作一个谦卑柔软的主门徒。
