Mar 15【每日活水】以神的心意看待婚姻

 

马可福音10:1~12

休妻的问题

1 耶稣从那里起身,来到犹太的境界并约旦河外。众人又聚集到他那里,他又照常教训他们。

2 有法利赛人来问他说:「人休妻可以不可以?」意思要试探他。

3 耶稣回答说:「摩西吩咐你们的是什么?」

4 他们说:「摩西许人写了休书便可以休妻。」

5 耶稣说:「摩西因为你们的心硬,所以写这条例给你们;

6 但从起初创造的时候, 神造人是造男造女。

7 因此,人要离开父母,与妻子连合,二人成为一体。

8 既然如此,夫妻不再是两个人,乃是一体的了。

9 所以, 神配合的,人不可分开。」

10 到了屋里,门徒就问他这事。

11 耶稣对他们说:「凡休妻另娶的,就是犯奸淫,辜负他的妻子;

12 妻子若离弃丈夫另嫁,也是犯奸淫了。」

Divorce

1 Jesus then left that place and went into the region of Judea and across the Jordan. Again crowds of people came to him, and as was his custom, he taught them.

2 Some Pharisees came and tested him by asking, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?”

3 “What did Moses command you?”he replied.

4 They said, “Moses permitted a man to write a certificate of divorce and send her away.”

5 “It was because your hearts were hard that Moses wrote you this law,”Jesus replied.

6 “But at the beginning of creation God ‘made them male and female.’

7 ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife,

8 and the two will become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two, but one flesh.

9 Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”

10 When they were in the house again, the disciples asked Jesus about this.

11 He answered, “Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her.

12 And if she divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery.”

 

内容观察

1.法利赛人向耶稣提出什么问题?(2节)

2.耶稣如何教导婚姻?(6~9节)

 

思考与默想

 

3.耶稣为什么根据神的创造,来传讲祂对婚姻的教导?
 

个人感受

4.神配合的,人不可分开,对此我有什么感想?
 

决心与应用

5.我何时曾依据现实及社会文化,而非神的旨意来看待婚姻?

6.为了让神建立我对婚姻的想法,我决定要怎么做?

休书(4节):法律明文规定离婚时丈夫要给妻子休书,本意是为了从法律上保护女性,后来却变成让离婚正当化的工具。
申24:1“人若娶妻,作了她的丈夫,发现她有不合宜的事不喜欢她,而写体书交在她手中,打发她离开夫家。

灵修指南

法利赛人问耶稣休妻的问题,企图让祂陷入困境。耶稣知道他们的诡计,就用比摩西律法更为根本的真理–神的创造(3节;参申24:1)一来回答他们,人若因着私欲而离婚,就是在抵挡神创造的旨意。耶稣时代的犹太人以律法的字面涵义,来合理化离婚的行为。他们重视自身的利益胜于按神的心意来经营婚姻。换作是现在,人们也时常以社会文化、现实作为依据来看待婚姻,顶多将神的话视为参照。盼望我们不以现实及社会文化作为思想婚姻的依据,而能单单以神的话看待婚姻,相信它是神自创世以来的美好心意。
 

内室祷告

愿我能单单信靠神的话,相信婚姻是神自创世以来的美好心意。
