Jun 26【每日活水】背起十架,跟随耶稣

马太福音27:27~44

兵丁戏弄耶稣
【太 27:27】 巡抚的兵就把耶稣带进衙门,叫全营的兵都聚集在他那里。
【太 27:28】 他们给他脱了衣服,穿上一件朱红色袍子;
【太 27:29】 用荆棘编作冠冕,戴在他头上;拿一根苇子放在他右手里,跪在他面前,戏弄他说:“恭喜,犹太人的王啊!”
【太 27:30】 又吐唾沫在他脸上,拿苇子打他的头。
【太 27:31】 戏弄完了,就给他脱了袍子,仍穿上他自己的衣服,带他出去,要钉十字架。
耶稣被钉十字架(可15:21—32;路23:26—43;约19:17—27)
【太 27:32】 他们出来的时候,遇见一个古利奈人,名叫西门,就勉强他同去,好背着耶稣的十字架。
【太 27:33】 到了一个地方名叫各各他,意思就是髑髅地。
【太 27:34】 兵丁拿苦胆调和的酒给耶稣喝。他尝了,就不肯喝。
【太 27:35】 他们既将他钉在十字架上,就拈阄分他的衣服,
【太 27:36】 又坐在那里看守他。
【太 27:37】 在他头以上安一个牌子,写着他的罪状,说:“这是犹太人的王耶稣。”
【太 27:38】 当时,有两个强盗和他同钉十字架,一个在右边,一个在左边。
【太 27:39】 从那里经过的人讥诮他,摇着头,说:
【太 27:40】 “你这拆毁圣殿,三日又建造起来的,可以救自己吧!你如果是 神的儿子,就从十字架上下来吧!”
【太 27:41】 祭司长和文士并长老也是这样戏弄他,说:
【太 27:42】 “他救了别人,不能救自己。他是以色列的王,现在可以从十字架上下来,我们就信他。
【太 27:43】 他倚靠 神, 神若喜悦他,现在可以救他,因为他曾说:‘我是 神的儿子。’”
【太 27:44】 那和他同钉的强盗也是这样地讥诮他。
The Soldiers Mock Jesus
27Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole company of soldiers around him. 
28They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him, 
29and then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on his head. They put a staff in his right hand. Then they knelt in front of him and mocked him. “Hail, king of the Jews!” they said. 
30They spit on him, and took the staff and struck him on the head again and again. 
31After they had mocked him, they took off the robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him away to crucify him.
The Crucifixion of Jesus
32As they were going out, they met a man from Cyrene, named Simon, and they forced him to carry the cross. 
33They came to a place called Golgotha (which means “the place of the skull”). 
34There they offered Jesus wine to drink, mixed with gall; but after tasting it, he refused to drink it. 
35When they had crucified him, they divided up his clothes by casting lots. 
36And sitting down, they kept watch over him there. 
37Above his head they placed the written charge against him: this is jesus, the king of the jews.
38Two rebels were crucified with him, one on his right and one on his left. 
39Those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads 
40and saying, “You who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days, save yourself! Come down from the cross, if you are the Son of God!” 
41In the same way the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the elders mocked him. 
42“He saved others,” they said, “but he can’t save himself! He’s the king of Israel! Let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him. 
43He trusts in God. Let God rescue him now if he wants him, for he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’ ” 
44In the same way the rebels who were crucified with him also heaped insults on him.
 

内容观察

1.罗马士兵在总督府对耶稣做了什么?(28~31节)
2.经过的人,以及众祭司长、文士和长老如何嘲笑耶稣?(40,42~43节)

 

思考与默想

 

3.耶稣为何不顾戏弄和羞辱,定意走上十字架的道路?
 

个人感受

4.看到无罪的耶稣遭受戏弄、鞭打和羞辱,你有什么感想?
 

决心与应用

5.你何时曾像耶稣一样,即使遭受羞辱仍默默背负十架?为了背起自己的十字架来跟随耶稣,你决定要怎么做?

穿上一件…..跪在他面前(28~29节):士兵将耶稣扮成君王,以此嘲讽耶稣是犹太人的王。 各各他(33节):希伯来文的音译,亦可按拉丁文音译称为“加略山”,两者意思都是“髅冈”。 抽签分了他的衣服(35节):犯人被钉十字架之后,衣服按惯例是归死刑执行者所有,因此士兵抽签来分配耶稣的衣服。抽签分衣服的场面,也让人想起诗篇22篇的内容。
诗22:18“他们分我的外衣,为我的内衣抽签。”

灵修指南

总督彼拉多作出判决后,士兵们将耶稣带进总督府,在那里给池穿上朱红色的袍子,用荆棘编了冠冕戴在的头上,拿一根芦苇秆放在他右手里。这是在模仿罗马皇帝所穿的紫袍、冠冕和权杖,借此嘲弄耶稣。之后士兵夺走芦苇秆、脱下袍子,将带去钉十字架。耶稣为了全然承受刑罚的痛苦,就连有麻醉功效的酒也不肯喝,毅然决然走向十字架。虽然面对士兵的嘲弄和旁人的羞辱,耶稣仍默默地行走使命之路。即使人们讥笑池是“连自己也救不了的王”,神也没有动摇, 显明自己是为拯救世人而来的“万王之王”。耶稣不顾惜自己的性命,进而展现出为拯救罪人而牺牲自己的终极之爱。愿我们深刻体会耶稣这样的爱,怀着对救恩的感谢,背起自己的十字架,跟随主的脚步。
 

内室祷告

愿我满怀对耶稣十字架之爱的感谢,效法主背起十字架走使命之路。
