Jun 15【每日活水】忠心地承担主所托付的使命

马太福音25：14~30

按才干接受托付的比喻

（路19‧11－27）

14「天国又好比一个人要往外国去，就叫了仆人来，把他的家业交给他们，

15按着各人的才干给他们银子：一个给了五千，一个给了二千，一个给了一千，就往外国去了。

16那领五千的随即拿去做买卖，另外赚了五千。

17那领二千的也照样另赚了二千。

18但那领一千的去掘开地，把主人的银子埋藏了。 1

9过了许久，那些仆人的主人来了，和他们算帐。

20那领五千银子的又带着那另外的五千来，说：『主啊，你交给我五千银子。请看，我又赚了五千。』

21主人说：『好，你这又良善又忠心的仆人，你在不多的事上有忠心，我要把许多事派你管理；可以进来享受你主人的快乐。』

22那领二千的也来，说：『主啊，你交给我二千银子。请看，我又赚了二千。』

23主人说：『好，你这又良善又忠心的仆人，你在不多的事上有忠心，我要把许多事派你管理；可以进来享受你主人的快乐。』

24那领一千的也来，说：『主啊，我知道你是忍心的人，没有种的地方要收割，没有散的地方要聚敛，

25我就害怕，去把你的一千银子埋藏在地里。请看，你的原银子在这里。』

26主人回答说：『你这又恶又懒的仆人，你既知道我没有种的地方要收割，没有散的地方要聚敛，

27就当把我的银子放给兑换银钱的人，到我来的时候，可以连本带利收回。

28夺过他这一千来，给那有一万的。

29因为凡有的，还要加给他，叫他有余；没有的，连他所有的也要夺过来。

30把这无用的仆人丢在外面黑暗里；在那里必要哀哭切齿了。』」

The Story of the Virgins

The Parable of the Bags of Gold

14 “Again, it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted his wealth to them.

15To one he gave five bags of gold, to another two bags, and to another one bag, each according to his ability. Then he went on his journey.

16The man who had received five bags of gold went at once and put his money to work and gained five bags more.

17So also, the one with two bags of gold gained two more.

18But the man who had received one bag went off, dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s money.

19 “After a long time the master of those servants returned and settled accounts with them.20The man who had received five bags of gold brought the other five. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with five bags of gold. See, I have gained five more.’

21 “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’

22 “The man with two bags of gold also came. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with two bags of gold; see, I have gained two more.’

23 “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’

24 “Then the man who had received one bag of gold came. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘I knew that you are a hard man, harvesting where you have not sown and gathering where you have not scattered seed.

25So I was afraid and went out and hid your gold in the ground. See, here is what belongs to you.’

26 “His master replied, ‘You wicked, lazy servant! So you knew that I harvest where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed?

27Well then, you should have put my money on deposit with the bankers, so that when I returned I would have received it back with interest.

28 “ ‘So take the bag of gold from him and give it to the one who has ten bags.

29For whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them.

30And throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

思考与默想

个人感受

4. 看到那位仆人在主人所托付的事上毫无作为，甚至怪罪主人，你有什么感想?

决心与应用

5. 有什么是原本应该承担，但你却埋怨、批评、踌躇而不去做的事情?

6. 为了完成神所交付的使命与任务，你决心要怎么做?

五千;二千;一千(15节):原文直译为“五个他连得”、”二个他连得”、“一个他连得”。他连得是重量和货币的单位，一他连得约是当时工人工作二十年的工资总和，是相当大的一笔金额。

灵修指南

耶稣透过按才受托的比喻，说明如何为主再来的日子做准备。比喻中的主人，按着三个仆人的才干分配不同数目的金钱，然后就出外远行了。主人远行回来后，称赞借着做买卖获利的那两个仆人是“又善良又忠心的仆人”，因为他们两个顺从主人，而且不是被动的，是积极主动地去行。反观，那拿一千的仆人却找借口向主人辩解，说自己因为害怕主人所以把银子埋藏起来。他不但误解了主人交给他们钱财的本意，更是将自己所要承担的风险，看得比主人所交办的任务更为重要(24~25节)。主人因此把他所有的夺走，并将他丢在外面(28~30节)。基督徒都是领受了使命的人，我们应当积极地准备与完成神的托付。但愿我们都能忠心地将自己应尽的责任完成，并得着主耶稣的称赞。

内室祷告

愿我不致误解神的旨意，能勇敢承担使命，又良善又忠心地尽责尽力。
