May 09【每日活水】要防备错谬的教训

 

马太福音16:1~12

求主显个神迹
可8‧11-13路12‧54-56
1法利赛人和撒都该人来试探耶稣,请他从天上显个神迹给他们看。
2耶稣回答说:「晚上天发红,你们就说:『天必要晴。』
3早晨天发红,又发黑,你们就说:『今日必有风雨。』你们知道分辨天上的气色,倒不能分辨这时候的神迹。
4一个邪恶淫乱的世代求神迹,除了约拿的神迹以外,再没有神迹给他看。」耶稣就离开他们去了。
防备法利赛人和撒都该人的酵
可8‧14-21
5门徒渡到那边去,忘了带饼。 
6耶稣对他们说:「你们要谨慎,防备法利赛人和撒都该人的酵。」
7门徒彼此议论说:「这是因为我们没有带饼吧。」 
8耶稣看出来,就说:「你们这小信的人,为什么因为没有饼彼此议论呢?
9你们还不明白吗?不记得那五个饼分给五千人、又收拾了多少篮子的零碎吗?
10也不记得那七个饼分给四千人、又收拾了多少筐子的零碎吗?
11我对你们说:『要防备法利赛人和撒都该人的酵』,这话不是指着饼说的,你们怎么不明白呢?」 
12门徒这才晓得他说的不是叫他们防备饼的酵,乃是防备法利赛人和撒都该人的教训。
The Demand for a Sign
1The Pharisees and Sadducees came to Jesus and tested him by asking him to show them a sign from heaven.
2He replied, “When evening comes, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red,’
3and in the morning, ‘Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times. 
4A wicked and adulterous generation looks for a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.”Jesus then left them and went away.
The Yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees
5When they went across the lake, the disciples forgot to take bread. 6“Be careful,”Jesus said to them. “Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
7They discussed this among themselves and said, “It is because we didn’t bring any bread.”
8Aware of their discussion, Jesus asked, “You of little faith, why are you talking among yourselves about having no bread?
9Do you still not understand? Don’t you remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many basketfuls you gathered?
10Or the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many basketfuls you gathered?
11How is it you don’t understand that I was not talking to you about bread? But be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
12Then they understood that he was not telling them to guard against the yeast used in bread, but against the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

法利赛人和撒都该人(1节):作为当时犹太教的两个代表性教派,他们有着不同的神学和政治立场,但在攻击耶稣方面却相互合作。
来自天上的神迹(1节):指透过神迹证明耶稣所做的是出于神。
邪恶淫乱的世代(4节):用以比喻犹太宗教领袖对神的不忠。
酵(6节):以酵的特性来比喻影响力,在文中是指法利赛人和撒都该人的教训。

灵修指南

法利赛人和撒都该人想要试探耶稣,因而请耶稣显个来自天上的神迹(1节)。对此,耶稣责备他们,说他们虽然很会判断天气的变化,却无法辨别弥赛亚的来临,并再次告诉他们,除了约拿的神迹(喻指耶稣三天后的死里复活)以外,就没有其他神迹给他们看了(3~4节)。耶稣也告诉门徒,要谨慎防备法利赛人和撒都该人的酵(6,11节)。门徒本以为耶稣是在暗指他们没带饼,但耶稣想要强调的是,当防备法利赛人和撒都该人的错误教导,避免被其影响,阻碍信仰成长。因此,信徒必须有智慧地理解耶稣的话,也要有能力分辨世界的错误教导。愿我们单单听从主的教导,被主的话语影响。
 

内室祷告

愿我能辨别世界的教导与耶稣的教导,单单让主的话来影响我的生命。
