Apr 27【每日活水】明白话语,结出果实

 

马太福音13:17~23

17 我实在告诉你们,从前有许多先知和义人要看你们所看的,却没有看见;要听你们所听的,却没有听见。”
解释撒种的比喻
18 “所以,你们要听这撒种的比喻。
19 凡听见天国的道而不明白的,那恶者就来,把撒在他心里的夺了去;这就是撒在路旁的了。
20 撒在石头地上的,就是人听了道,立刻欢喜领受,
21 只因心里没有根,不过是暂时的,一旦为道遭受患难或迫害,立刻就跌倒。
22 撒在荆棘里的,就是人听了道,后来有世上的忧虑、钱财的迷惑把道挤住了,结不出果实。
23 撒在好土里的,就是人听了道,明白了,后来结了果实,有一百倍的,有六十倍的,有三十倍的。”
17 A lot of people, prophets and humble believers among them, would have given anything to see what you are seeing, to hear what you are hearing, but never had the chance. 
The Meaning of the Harvest Story
18-19 “Study this story of the farmer planting seed. When anyone hears news of the kingdom and doesn’t take it in, it just remains on the surface, and so the Evil One comes along and plucks it right out of that person’s heart. This is the seed the farmer scatters on the road.
20-21 “The seed cast in the gravel—this is the person who hears and instantly responds with enthusiasm. But there is no soil of character, and so when the emotions wear off and some difficulty arrives, there is nothing to show for it.
22 “The seed cast in the weeds is the person who hears the kingdom news, but weeds of worry and illusions about getting more and wanting everything under the sun strangle what was heard, and nothing comes of it.

23 “The seed cast on good earth is the person who hears and takes in the News, and then produces a harvest beyond his wildest dreams.”

灵修指南

耶稣向门徒讲解撒种的比喻。与法利赛人和撒都该人不同,耶稣希望祂的门徒能因着接受教导,结出丰盛的果实。要做到这一点,首先必须将种子撒在好土里,才能结出百倍、六十倍、三十倍的果实。耶稣也警告我们要小心恶者(19节),因为恶者会强行夺走神的话,阻止信徒结出神话语的果子。他还告诉我们要避免未扎根的情况,才不会因患难和逼迫而跌倒,我们也要警戒世上的忧虑、钱财和迷惑(22-23节),以免被这些东西束缚。如果说,患难和逼迫是外在的挑战,那么忧虑和迷惑就是从内而外的攻击。像这样,从四面八方来的拦阻,都可能妨碍我们听懂神的话语。因此,为了活出结果累累的生活,门徒必须成为听道并明白的人。让我们记住,信心源自听道,而听道来自基督的话(参罗10:17)。
 

内室祷告

愿我能听、能明白神的话语,并按着主的话语结出丰盛的果实。
