Apr 18【每日活水】耶稣的轭容易，担子轻省

马太福音11：20～30

耶稣责备不悔改的城

（路10‧13－15）

20耶稣在诸城中行了许多异能，那些城的人终不悔改，就在那时候责备他们，说：

21“哥拉汛哪，你有祸了！伯赛大啊，你有祸了！因为在你们中间所行的异能，若行在推罗、西顿，他们早已披麻蒙灰悔改了。

22但我告诉你们，当审判的日子，推罗、西顿所受的，比你们还容易受呢！

23迦百农啊，你已经升到天上，将来必坠落阴间；因为在你那里所行的异能，若行在所多玛，它还可以存到今日。

24但我告诉你们，当审判的日子，所多玛所受的，比你还容易受呢！”

到我这里来

（路10‧21－22）

25那时，耶稣说：“父啊，天地的主，我感谢你！因为你将这些事向聪明通达人就藏起来，向婴孩就显出来。 26父啊，是的，因为你的美意本是如此。

27一切所有的，都是我父交付我的；除了父，没有人知道子；除了子和子所愿意指示的，没有人知道父。

28凡劳苦担重担的人可以到我这里来，我就使你们得安息。

29我心里柔和谦卑，你们当负我的轭，学我的样式；这样，你们心里就必得享安息。

30因为我的轭是容易的，我的担子是轻省的。”

Woe on Unrepentant Towns

20Then Jesus began to denounce the towns in which most of his miracles had been performed, because they did not repent.

21“Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.

22But I tell you, it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.

23And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted to the heavens? No, you will go down to Hades. For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Sodom, it would have remained to this day.

24But I tell you that it will be more bearable for Sodom on the day of judgment than for you.”

The Father Revealed in the Son

25At that time Jesus said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children.

26Yes, Father, for this is what you were pleased to do.

27 “All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.

28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

29Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

30For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

灵修指南

异能(20节):原文意指“神迹”、”超自然的作为“

推罗、西顿(21 节):这两座城镇位于巴勒斯坦北部的腓尼基，是富饶的贸易商港，偶像崇拜盛行。

劳苦担重担的人(28节):原文意指“因劳碌而疲倦”，或“被迫承受重担的人”。这里的“劳苦”和“重担”，泛指过犯、疾病、忧虑及律法给人的重担。

耶稣在加利利北边的哥拉汛、伯赛大和迦百农行了许多异能。那里的居民虽然看到耶稣所行的神迹，却没有悔改，反而显出他们的骄傲(21~24节)。耶稣责备他们比所多玛更恶，意味迦百农人的心比所多玛更骄傲。人常以为，我们可以透过看到神迹来获得更大的信心。然而，我们从迦百农居民所呈现的反应看见，即使在经历了许多神迹之后，也可能仍不愿在耶稣面前悔改，因为神迹虽能激励信心，却无法作为信仰的基础。人若要得着真正的平安，就必须经过耶稣所指示的救恩之路，负起祂的轭、学习祂的教导(28~30节)。因此，我们应当谦卑接受耶稣的邀请，活出学习主样式的生活。希望我们不要愚昧地靠自己背负世间的劳苦和重担，错过耶稣所应许、容易的轭与轻省的担子。愿我们将重担交给主，享受主所赐予的真正安息。

内室祷告

愿我将世上的重担交给主，与主同负轻省的轭。
