JUL 16【每日活水】 SHEN 以热心亲自拯救百姓

 

以/赛/亚书59:15b~21

耶/和/华准备拯救他的子民
那时,耶/和/华看见没有公平,甚不喜悦。16 他见无人拯救,

无人代求,甚为诧异,

就用自己的膀臂施行拯救,

以公义扶持自己。

17 他以公义为铠甲,

以拯救为头盔,

以报仇为衣服,

以热心为外袍。

18 他必按人的行为施报,

恼怒他的敌人,

报复他的仇敌

向众海岛施行报应。

19 如此,人从日落之处必敬畏耶/和/华的名,

从日出之地也必敬畏他的荣耀;

因为仇敌好像急流的河水冲来,

是耶/和/华之气所驱逐的。

20 必有一位救/赎主来到锡安-

雅各族中转离过犯的人那里。

这是耶/和/华说的。

21 耶/和/华说:「至于我与他们所立的约乃是这样:我加给你的灵,传给你的话,必不离你的口,也不离你后裔与你后裔之后裔的口,从今直到永远;这是耶/和/华说的。」

The Lord looked and was displeasedthat there was no justice.

16 He saw that there was no one,

he was appalled that there was no one to intervene;

so his own arm achieved salvation for him,

and his own righteousness sustained him.

17 He put on righteousness as his breastplate,

and the helmet of salvation on his head;

he put on the garments of vengeance

and wrapped himself in zeal as in a cloak.

18 According to what they have done,

so will he repay

wrath to his enemies

and retribution to his foes;

he will repay the islands their due.

19 From the west, people will fear the name of the Lord,

and from the rising of the sun, they will revere his glory.

For he will come like a pent-up flood

that the breath of the Lord drives along.

20 “The Redeemer will come to Zion,

to those in Jacob who repent of their sins,”

declares the Lord.

21 “As for me, this is my covenant with them,” says the Lord. “My Spirit, who is on you, will not depart from you, and my words that I have put in your mouth will always be on your lips, on the lips of your children and on the lips of their descendants—from this time on and forever,” says the Lord.

 

内容观察

1.以赛亚说,当 SHEN 见无人拯救,无人代求, TA 有何反应?(16节)

2.以赛亚将 SHEN 形容为战士,说 TA 以什么为装备?(17节)

 

思考与默想

 

3. SHEN 为什么亲自兴起、拯救 TA 的百姓?
 

个人感受

4.看到 SHEN 记念 TA 所立的约,又按人的行为报应,我有什么感想?
 

决心与应用

5.身为罪人的我,何时开始拥有对 SHEN 恩典救/赎的确信?

6.为了尽力拯救灵魂,以回报 SHEN 的热心,我今天决定要怎么做?

报应(18节):指 SHEN 明确的审判。
众海岛(18节):指悖逆的民族。

灵/修指南

对于充满罪/恶的以色列人来说,没有任何中保能帮助他们与 SHEN 恢复关系。好在 SHEN 没有撇下他们,也时刻关注他们的状况。 SHEN 为了拯救 TA 的百姓,亲自在他们身上动工—— TA 像是战士一样穿戴上各种装备,展开 TA 的救/赎事工(17节)。可是, TA 也绝不会无视他们的罪/恶,必按各人所行的报应他们(18节), TA 的审判和救/赎都是明确的。 SHEN 奇妙的救/赎事工会让全世界惊叹,但 SHEN 的救/恩只会赐给那些悔改己罪、归向 TA 的人。只要我们在 SHEN 面前悔改、回转归向 TA , TA 就会赐极大的恩典给我们。盼望我们在生活中以诚实和正直来回应 SHEN ,并且倚靠 TA ,作 TA 忠心的百姓。
 

内室dao告

愿我每天记念 SHEN 信实的约,到 TA 面前献上诚实正直的悔改。
