Apr 05【每日活水】找回迷失的羊,与神一同欢喜

 

加拉太书15:1~10

迷羊的比喻
(太18‧12-14)
1  众税吏和罪人都挨近耶稣,要听他讲道。 
2  法利赛人和文士私下议论说:「这个人接待罪人,又同他们吃饭。」 
3  耶稣就用比喻说: 
4 「你们中间谁有一百只羊失去一只,不把这九十九只撇在旷野、去找那失去的羊,直到找着呢? 
5  找着了,就欢欢喜喜地扛在肩上,回到家里, 
6  就请朋友邻舍来,对他们说:『我失去的羊已经找着了,你们和我一同欢喜吧!』 
7  我告诉你们,一个罪人悔改,在天上也要这样为他欢喜,较比为九十九个不用悔改的义人欢喜更大。」
失钱的比喻
8 「或是一个妇人有十块钱,若失落一块,岂不点上灯,打扫屋子,细细地找,直到找着吗? 
9  找着了,就请朋友邻舍来,对他们说:『我失落的那块钱已经找着了,你们和我一同欢喜吧!』 
10  我告诉你们,一个罪人悔改,在 神的使者面前也是这样为他欢喜。」
The Parable of the Lost Sheep
1  Now the tax collectors and sinners were all gathering around to hear Jesus. 
2  But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law muttered, “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.”
3  Then Jesus told them this parable: 
4  “Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it?
5  And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders
6  and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’
7  I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.
The Parable of the Lost Coin
8  “Or suppose a woman has ten silver coins and loses one. Doesn’t she light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it?
9  And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin.’
10  In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”

灵修指南

法利赛人和文士私下议论耶稣,说祂和税吏、罪人一同吃饭。耶稣的举动在当时很容易被认为是包庇罪人、认可罪人的行为,但是,耶稣用比喻对他们讲到两件重要的事。耶稣将税吏和罪人比作迷失的一只羊和失落的一块钱。税吏和罪人虽然过着远离神的错误生活,但是比喻中主人因为找到那只迷失的羊、妇人因为找到失落的一块钱而大为欢喜,甚至摆设宴席,邀请朋友邻舍来一同庆祝。这样的行为看起来是愚蠢的,甚至会给自己带来更大的经济损失,但是耶稣却透过该比喻告诉人们,神因为一个罪人的悔改有多么欢喜。法利赛人和文士虽然精通律法,却不能明白神的心意。盼望我们铭记每一个灵魂的宝贵,怀抱天父的心意,竭力传讲福音。
 

内室祷告

愿我的信仰生活始终朝着努力传福音结果子的方向奔跑。
