Mar 7【每日活水】分辨真理,持守信心道路

 

马可福音8:11~21

求主显个神迹
太16‧1-4
11  法利赛人出来盘问耶稣,求他从天上显个神迹给他们看,想要试探他。 
12  耶稣心里深深地叹息,说:「这世代为什么求神迹呢?我实在告诉你们,没有神迹给这世代看。」 
13  他就离开他们,又上往海那边去了。
防备法利赛人和希律的酵
太16‧5-12
14  门徒忘了带饼;在船上除了一个饼,没有别的食物。 
15  耶稣嘱咐他们说:「你们要谨慎,防备法利赛人的酵和希律的酵。」 
16  他们彼此议论说:「这是因为我们没有饼吧。」 
17  耶稣看出来,就说:「你们为什么因为没有饼就议论呢?你们还不省悟,还不明白吗?你们的心还是愚顽吗? 
18  你们有眼睛,看不见吗?有耳朵,听不见吗?也不记得吗? 
19  我擘开那五个饼分给五千人,你们收拾的零碎装满了多少篮子呢?」他们说:「十二个。」 
20又擘开那七个饼分给四千人,你们收拾的零碎装满了多少筐子呢?」他们说:「七个。」 
21  耶稣说:「你们还是不明白吗?」
11  The Pharisees came and began to question Jesus. To test him, they asked him for a sign from heaven.
12  He sighed deeply and said, “Why does this generation ask for a sign? Truly I tell you, no sign will be given to it.”
13  Then he left them, got back into the boat and crossed to the other side.
The Yeast of the Pharisees and Herod
14  The disciples had forgotten to bring bread, except for one loaf they had with them in the boat. 
15  “Be careful,”Jesus warned them. “Watch out for the yeast of the Pharisees and that of Herod.”
16  They discussed this with one another and said, “It is because we have no bread.”
17  Aware of their discussion, Jesus asked them: “Why are you talking about having no bread? Do you still not see or understand? Are your hearts hardened?
18  Do you have eyes but fail to see, and ears but fail to hear? And don’t you remember?
19  When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many basketfuls of pieces did you pick up?”
“Twelve,” they replied.
20  “And when I broke the seven loaves for the four thousand, how many basketfuls of pieces did you pick up?”
They answered, “Seven.”
21  He said to them, “Do you still not understand?”
 

内容观察

1.法利赛人向耶稣求什么?(11节)

2.耶稣说要防备法利赛人和希律的酵,门徒对此有何反应?(15-16节)

 

思考与默想

 

3.耶稣为什么说要防备法利赛人和希律的酵?
 

个人感受

4.看到法利赛人不承认耶稣是弥赛亚,却又要耶稣行神迹给他们看,以不信的心误导许多人,我有什么感想?
 

决心与应用

5.我何时曾被世上似是而非的教导迷惑,动摇了信心?

6.为了分辨真理及持守信心,我决定要怎么做?

盘问(11节):指“争辩”、”争论”。
神迹(11节):指靠着超自然的能力而显露出来的现象和凭据。
酵(15节):一点点酵就能使面团发酵膨胀。耶稣常以此来指称某事物有着巨大的影响力。

灵修指南

法利赛人求耶稣从天上显个神迹给他们看,耶稣却说这个世代是不信的,所以没有神迹给他们看(11~12节)。后来耶稣与门徒一起坐船前往伯赛大,这时门徒为着船上只剩一个饼而担忧,耶稣却在此时教导他们,要谨慎防备法利赛人和希律的酵(13~15节)。门徒从字面意思理解耶稣的话,以为是因为他们没有饼的缘故(16节)。然而,耶稣所说的酵,是指像法利赛人和希律一样伪善和世俗的假教导,就像面酵能使全团的面发起来一样,使人远离真理。耶稣希望门徒不要被世上的价值观迷惑,而能靠着神的话语培养属灵的分辨力,走在持守信心的道路上。
 

内室祷告

愿我不被世上的错误教导迷惑,坚定持守对主的信心。
