Apr 15【每日活水】爱耶稣胜过一切

不是和平,而是刀剑
路12‧51-5314‧26-27
34“你们不要想我来是叫地上太平;我来并不是叫地上太平,乃是叫地上动刀兵。
35因为我来是叫
人与父亲生疏,
女儿与母亲生疏,
媳妇与婆婆生疏。
36人的仇敌就是自己家里的人。
37爱父母过于爱我的,不配作我的门徒;爱儿女过于爱我的,不配作我的门徒;
38不背着他的十字架跟从我的,也不配作我的门徒。 39得着生命的,将要失丧生命;为我失丧生命的,将要得着生命。”
论报赏
可9‧41
40“人接待你们就是接待我;接待我就是接待那差我来的。
41人因为先知的名接待先知,必得先知所得的赏赐;人因为义人的名接待义人,必得义人所得的赏赐。
42无论何人,因为门徒的名,只把一杯凉水给这小子里的一个喝,我实在告诉你们,这人不能不得赏赐。”
11章
1耶稣吩咐完了十二个门徒,就离开那里,往各城去传道、教训人。
34 “Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.35For I have come to turn
“ ‘a man against his father,
a daughter against her mother,
a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law—
36 a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’
37 “Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.38Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me.39Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it.
40 “Anyone who welcomes you welcomes me, and anyone who welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me.41Whoever welcomes a prophet as a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and whoever welcomes a righteous person as a righteous person will receive a righteous person’s reward.42And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones who is my disciple, truly I tell you, that person will certainly not lose their reward.”
esus and John the Baptist
1After Jesus had finished instructing his twelve disciples, he went on from there to teach and preach in the towns of Galilee.

灵修指南


我来并不是带来和平,而是刀剑(34节):这意味耶稣的门徒将被世人憎恨,遭受极端的敌意和反对。
我来是要叫……对立(35节):指门徒在传福音时,可能会面临来自最亲近的家人与亲戚的追害、拦阻。
耶稣说明了什么样的人才有资格跟随祂、作祂的门徒。首先,配作耶稣门徒的人一定会爱耶稣,而且这样的爱必须超越对至亲家人的爱。就当时的犹太传统来说,爱父母是非常重要的义务,然而,这样的传统义务也不比爱耶稣更重要(10:35~37)。此外,配作耶稣门徒的人,必定要背起自己的十字架来跟从耶稣。背负十字架的人生,就是舍己、忍受苦难的人生。耶稣的门徒必须将耶稣摆在首位,也要明白自己必定会遭受世人的迫害。跟随耶稣、作祂的门徒,并不是一条容易走的路,但我们不能失去盼望,反而必须坚忍到底,因为神为这样的门徒预备了天上的赏赐。求神帮助我们,使我们的心不要因眼前的苦难而绝望,也不要因此远离主。愿我们成为主所喜悦的门徒,活出主所期待的人生。
 

内室祷告

求神帮助我更加爱耶稣,天天背起十字架,成为配做耶稣门徒的人。
