Apr 05【每日活水】找回迷失的羊,与神一同欢喜

 

加拉太书15:1~10

迷羊的比喻
太18‧12-14
众税吏和罪人都挨近耶稣,要听他讲道。 
法利赛人和文士私下议论说:「这个人接待罪人,又同他们吃饭。」 
耶稣就用比喻说: 
4 「你们中间谁有一百只羊失去一只,不把这九十九只撇在旷野、去找那失去的羊,直到找着呢? 
找着了,就欢欢喜喜地扛在肩上,回到家里, 
就请朋友邻舍来,对他们说:『我失去的羊已经找着了,你们和我一同欢喜吧!』 
我告诉你们,一个罪人悔改,在天上也要这样为他欢喜,较比为九十九个不用悔改的义人欢喜更大。」
失钱的比喻
8 「或是一个妇人有十块钱,若失落一块,岂不点上灯,打扫屋子,细细地找,直到找着吗? 
找着了,就请朋友邻舍来,对他们说:『我失落的那块钱已经找着了,你们和我一同欢喜吧!』 
10  我告诉你们,一个罪人悔改,在 神的使者面前也是这样为他欢喜。」
The Parable of the Lost Sheep
Now the tax collectors and sinners were all gathering around to hear Jesus. 
But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law muttered, “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.”
Then Jesus told them this parable: 
“Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it?
And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders
and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’
I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.
The Parable of the Lost Coin
8  “Or suppose a woman has ten silver coins and loses one. Doesn’t she light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it?
And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin.’
10  In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”

灵修指南

法利赛人和文士私下议论耶稣,说祂和税吏、罪人一同吃饭。耶稣的举动在当时很容易被认为是包庇罪人、认可罪人的行为,但是,耶稣用比喻对他们讲到两件重要的事。耶稣将税吏和罪人比作迷失的一只羊和失落的一块钱。税吏和罪人虽然过着远离神的错误生活,但是比喻中主人因为找到那只迷失的羊、妇人因为找到失落的一块钱而大为欢喜,甚至摆设宴席,邀请朋友邻舍来一同庆祝。这样的行为看起来是愚蠢的,甚至会给自己带来更大的经济损失,但是耶稣却透过该比喻告诉人们,神因为一个罪人的悔改有多么欢喜。法利赛人和文士虽然精通律法,却不能明白神的心意。盼望我们铭记每一个灵魂的宝贵,怀抱天父的心意,竭力传讲福音。
 

内室祷告

愿我的信仰生活始终朝着努力传福音结果子的方向奔跑。
