Jun 19【每日活水】寻求神的旨意

马太福音26:31~46

预言彼得不认主
可14‧27-31路22‧31-34约13‧36-38
31那时,耶稣对他们说:「今夜,你们为我的缘故都要跌倒。因为经上记着说:
我要击打牧人,
羊就分散了。
32但我复活以后,要在你们以先往加利利去。」 
33彼得说:「众人虽然为你的缘故跌倒,我却永不跌倒。」 
34耶稣说:「我实在告诉你,今夜鸡叫以先,你要三次不认我。」 
35彼得说:「我就是必须和你同死,也总不能不认你。」众门徒都是这样说。
在客西马尼祷告
可14‧32-42路22‧39-46
36耶稣同门徒来到一个地方,名叫客西马尼,就对他们说:「你们坐在这里,等我到那边去祷告。」 
37于是带着彼得西庇太的两个儿子同去,就忧愁起来,极其难过, 
38便对他们说:「我心里甚是忧伤,几乎要死;你们在这里等候,和我一同警醒。」 
39他就稍往前走,俯伏在地,祷告说:「我父啊,倘若可行,求你叫这杯离开我。然而,不要照我的意思,只要照你的意思。」 
40来到门徒那里,见他们睡着了,就对彼得说:「怎么样?你们不能同我警醒片时吗? 
41总要警醒祷告,免得入了迷惑。你们心灵固然愿意,肉体却软弱了。」 
42第二次又去祷告说:「我父啊,这杯若不能离开我,必要我喝,就愿你的意旨成全。」 
43又来,见他们睡着了,因为他们的眼睛困倦。 
44耶稣又离开他们去了。第三次祷告,说的话还是与先前一样。 
45于是来到门徒那里,对他们说:「现在你们仍然睡觉安歇吧!时候到了,人子被卖在罪人手里了。 
46起来!我们走吧。看哪,卖我的人近了!」
Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial
31Then Jesus told them, “This very night you will all fall away on account of me, for it is written:
“ ‘I will strike the shepherd,
and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’
32 But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.”
33Peter replied, “Even if all fall away on account of you, I never will.”
34 “Truly I tell you,”Jesus answered, “this very night, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times.”
35But Peter declared, “Even if I have to die with you, I will never disown you.” And all the other disciples said the same.
Gethsemane
36Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.”
37He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him, and he began to be sorrowful and troubled. 
38Then he said to them, “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.”
39Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.”
40Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. “Couldn’t you men keep watch with me for one hour?”he asked Peter. 
41“Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
42He went away a second time and prayed, “My Father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be done.”
43When he came back, he again found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy. 
44So he left them and went away once more and prayed the third time, saying the same thing.
45Then he returned to the disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Look, the hour has come, and the Son of Man is delivered into the hands of sinners.
46Rise! Let us go! Here comes my betrayer!”

灵修指南

耶稣告诉门徒,他们会因祂所受的苦难而跌倒并分散,但在祂复活之后,他们会在加利利遇见(31~32节)。为此,彼得说自己绝对不会跌倒、否认耶稣,但耶稣告诉彼得,在鸡叫以前他会三次不认祂(33~34节)。在客西马尼园里,耶稣俯伏向神祈祷,求神挪去祂即将遭遇的苦难,但祂最后仍说,愿神的旨意成全(39节)。在耶稣极其忧伤的时刻,门徒却显出软弱的一面,在祷告时睡着了。耶稣吩咐门徒警醒祷告,因为唯有在祷告中明白神的心意,才有可能克服肉体的软弱,坚定迈向使命之路(41节)。因此,我们身为耶稣的门徒,也必须时刻警醒祷告,唯有祷告可以帮助我们坚定且勇敢地承担使命,按照神的旨意前行。
 

内室祷告

求神使我不逃避或跟随世界的脚步,坚定行在神旨意的使命之路。
