Mar 14【每日活水】除去使人绊跌的一切罪恶

 

加拉太书1:1~5

不敌挡我们就是帮助我们

38 约翰对耶稣说:「夫子,我们看见一个人奉你的名赶鬼,我们就禁止他,因为他不跟从我们。」

39 耶稣说:「不要禁止他;因为没有人奉我名行异能,反倒轻易毁谤我。

40 不敌挡我们的,就是帮助我们的。

41 凡因你们是属基督,给你们一杯水喝的,我实在告诉你们,他不能不得赏赐。」

罪的诱惑

42 「凡使这信我的一个小子跌倒的,倒不如把大磨石拴在这人的颈项上,扔在海里。

43 倘若你一只手叫你跌倒,就把它砍下来;

44 你缺了肢体进入永生,强如有两只手落到地狱,入那不灭的火里去。

45 倘若你一只脚叫你跌倒,就把它砍下来;

46 你瘸腿进入永生,强如有两只脚被丢在地狱里。

47 倘若你一只眼叫你跌倒,就去掉它;你只有一只眼进入 神的国,强如有两只眼被丢在地狱里。

48 在那里,虫是不死的,火是不灭的。

49 因为必用火当盐腌各人。

50 盐本是好的,若失了味,可用什么叫它再咸呢?你们里头应当有盐,彼此和睦。」

Whoever Is Not Against Us Is for Us

38 “Teacher,” said John, “we saw someone driving out demons in your name and we told him to stop, because he was not one of us.”

39 “Do not stop him,”Jesus said. “For no one who does a miracle in my name can in the next moment say anything bad about me,

40 for whoever is not against us is for us.

41 Truly I tell you, anyone who gives you a cup of water in my name because you belong to the Messiah will certainly not lose their reward.

Causing to Stumble

42 “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them if a large millstone were hung around their neck and they were thrown into the sea.

43 If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go into hell, where the fire never goes out.

[44] 45And if your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than to have two feet and be thrown into hell.

[46] 47And if your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell,

48 where“‘the worms that eat them do not die, and the fire is not quenched.’

49 Everyone will be salted with fire.

50 “Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, how can you make it salty again? Have salt among yourselves, and be at peace with each other.”

 

内容观察

1.耶稣说,使信祂的人跌倒的,倒不如什么?(42节)

2.耶稣说,手和脚及眼睛犯罪的话要如何做?(43.45.47节)

 

思考与默想

 

3.耶稣为什么要用严厉的言辞,形容使人跌倒的罪?
 

个人感受

4.看到耶稣严厉地警告罪的破坏力和严重性,我有什么感想?
 

决心与应用

5.我将哪些罪视为“这没什么,就一次没关系吧”而默许它发生?

6.为了离弃成为永生绊脚石的罪,活出圣洁的生活,我决定要怎么做?

使……跌倒(42节):意指使人违背神的话,或使人信心瓦解。
大磨石(42节):指的不是人手所使用的小型磨盘,而是指用牛或马来转动的大型盘。
砍下来(43,45节)、去掉(47节):指即刻中断肉身犯罪的行动。
罗5:12 “为此,正如罪是从一人进入世界,死又从罪而来,于是死就临到所有的人,因为人人都犯了罪。

灵修指南

门徒看见有人奉耶稣的名赶鬼,就试图阻止他(38节),耶稣却责备他们的视野和心胸狭小,因为重要的不是形式上的跟从,而是在于是否奉主的名传神的国(39节)。耶稣又警告门徒,使信的人跌倒的不如扔在海里(42节),使人落到地狱的身体部位不如砍掉,以此强调属神的人必须坚决离弃绊跌人的骄傲和罪恶(43,45,47节)。耶稣借由极端的表达唤醒门徒,让他们警惕不信和罪在群体中间和个人内心的破坏力,就像罪因一人进入世界,使所有人都面临死亡一样(参罗5:12)。我对罪是否敏感,又是否竭力远离罪?盼望我们重视永生的价值,除去切的罪恶,将耶稣对罪的严厉警告铭记于心,活出圣洁的生活。
 

内室祷告

愿我除去成为绊脚石的一切罪恶,活出合乎耶稣门徒样式的圣洁生活。
