May 16【每日活水】不因周遭视线动摇的信心

 

路加福音23:1~12

耶稣在彼拉多面前受审

1 众人都起来,把耶稣解到彼拉多面前, 
2 就告他说:「我们见这人诱惑国民,禁止纳税给凯撒,并说自己是基督,是王。」 
3 彼拉多问耶稣说:「你是犹太人的王吗?」耶稣回答说:「你说的是。」 
4 彼拉多对祭司长和众人说:「我查不出这人有什么罪来。」 
5 但他们越发极力地说:「他煽惑百姓,在犹太遍地传道,从加利利起,直到这里了。」

希律藐视耶稣

6 彼拉多一听见,就问:「这人是加利利人吗?」 
7 既晓得耶稣属希律所管,就把他送到希律那里去。那时希律正在耶路撒冷
8 希律看见耶稣,就很欢喜;因为听见过他的事,久已想要见他,并且指望看他行一件神迹,
9 于是问他许多的话,耶稣却一言不答。 
10 祭司长和文士都站着,极力地告他。 
11 希律和他的兵丁就藐视耶稣,戏弄他,给他穿上华丽衣服,把他送回彼拉多那里去。 
12 从前希律彼拉多彼此有仇,在那一天就成了朋友。

1 Then the whole assembly rose and led him off to Pilate.

2 And they began to accuse him, saying, “We have found this man subverting our nation. He opposes payment of taxes to Caesar and claims to be Messiah, a king.”

3 So Pilate asked Jesus, “Are you the king of the Jews?”“You have said so,”Jesus replied.

4 Then Pilate announced to the chief priests and the crowd, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”

5 But they insisted, “He stirs up the people all over Judea by his teaching. He started in Galilee and has come all the way here.”

6 On hearing this, Pilate asked if the man was a Galilean.

7 When he learned that Jesus was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem at that time.

8 When Herod saw Jesus, he was greatly pleased, because for a long time he had been wanting to see him. From what he had heard about him, he hoped to see him perform a sign of some sort.

9 He plied him with many questions, but Jesus gave him no answer.

10 The chief priests and the teachers of the law were standing there, vehemently accusing him.

11 Then Herod and his soldiers ridiculed and mocked him. Dressing him in an elegant robe, they sent him back to Pilate.

12 That day Herod and Pilate became friends—before this they had been enemies.

 

内容观察

1. 众人告发耶稣的罪名是什么?(2节)

2.彼拉多和希律分别审问耶稣之后有何结论?(4,11节)

 

思考与默想

 

3.彼拉多和希律为什么不立即释放或处罚耶稣?
 

个人感受

4.看到彼拉多和希律明知耶稣无罪却因自己的偏见和周遭人的视线而动摇,我有什么感想?
 

决心与应用

5.我何时曾因周遭的视线和反应而动摇对耶稣的信心?

6.为了不被周遭视线影响,单单注目耶稣,坚定持守信心,我决定要怎么做?

禁止我们纳税给凯撒(2节):这是恶意的谎言,实际上耶稣承认了凯撒的征税权。

灵修指南

议会审判之后,犹太人以拒绝向罗马政府纳税和自称为王的罪名,把耶交给了犹太总督彼拉多。彼拉多审问耶稣之后,没有找到处罚的根据,却因为忌犹太人的反应,不敢释放耶稣。犹太领袖继续给彼拉多施压,彼拉多为了回避自己的责任,便把耶稣送到了管辖加利利的希律那里,因为耶稣曾在加利利服事。希律希望耶稣能够在自己面前行神迹,然而耶稣却没有回应他。于是希律在戏弄耶稣之后,又把祂送回到彼拉多那里。彼拉多和希律虽然知道耶稣没有罪,但是由于害怕百姓的反应,又害怕自己的名声和威望受到损害,所以迟迟不敢做出正确的决定。试问自己,我否是在教会敬虔,却在世界中害怕承认自己的信仰呢?盼望我们能够大方承认自己的信仰,并活出信心。
 

内室祷告

愿我在世上彰显神的荣耀,活出忠心门徒的样式。
