Mar 3【每日活水】活出内外的圣洁

 

马可福音7:14~23

14  耶稣又叫众人来,对他们说:「你们都要听我的话,也要明白。 

15  从外面进去的不能污秽人,惟有从里面出来的乃能污秽人。」 

17  耶稣离开众人,进了屋子,门徒就问他这比喻的意思。 

18  耶稣对他们说:「你们也是这样不明白吗?岂不晓得凡从外面进入的,不能污秽人, 

19  因为不是入他的心,乃是入他的肚腹,又落到茅厕里(这是说,各样的食物都是洁净的)」; 

20  又说:「从人里面出来的,那才能污秽人; 

21  因为从里面,就是从人心里,发出恶念、苟合、 

22  偷盗、凶杀、奸淫、贪婪、邪恶、诡诈、淫荡、嫉妒、谤、骄傲、狂妄。 

23  这一切的恶都是从里面出来,且能污秽人。」

14  Again Jesus called the crowd to him and said, “Listen to me, everyone, and understand this.
15  Nothing outside a person can defile them by going into them. Rather, it is what comes out of a person that defiles them.”[16]
17  After he had left the crowd and entered the house, his disciples asked him about this parable. 
18  “Are you so dull?”he asked. “Don’t you see that nothing that enters a person from the outside can defile them?
19  For it doesn’t go into their heart but into their stomach, and then out of the body.”(In saying this, Jesus declared all foods clean.)
20  He went on: “What comes out of a person is what defiles them.
21  For it is from within, out of a person’s heart, that evil thoughts come—sexual immorality, theft, murder,
22  adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly.
23  All these evils come from inside and defile a person.”

 

内容观察

1.耶稣说,门徒不明白什么?(18节)

2.耶稣说,人的心里会发出什么?(21~23节)

 

思考与默想

 

3.耶稣为什么告诉门徒,罪恶是发自人们的内心?
 

个人感受

4.门徒将眼光聚焦于仪文上的不洁,却不晓得真正的不洁是内心的恶
念,对此我有什么感想?
 

决心与应用

5.最近我的内心有哪些恶念?

6.为了活出内外的圣洁,我决定要怎么做?

从外面进去的(15节):法利赛人和文士原先借“洗手”来谈论洁净与不洁净,耶稣如今以“食物”来谈论何谓真正的洁净和不洁净。
从里面出来的(15节):从人心里面发出的恶念。

灵修指南

保犹太人认为只有吃神所许可的食物才能维持圣洁,耶稣却告诉他们,玷污人的不是食物,而是从人心里面发出的恶念(18~23节)。犹太人以为只要在行为上符合律法就能成圣,却不明白律法只能消极地制约错误的举止,无法使人不再按照罪恶的本性生活。对此,耶稣教导他们,在神的眼中,真正的污秽不是外显的行为,而是人内心的恶念。但愿我们也能谨记耶稣的教导,时刻省察内心的光景,活出内外的圣洁,得蒙主的悦纳。
 

内室祷告

愿我时刻省察内心的光景,活出内外的圣洁,得蒙主的悦纳。
