Jesus Healed A Withered Hand on Sabbath
W4 2011-10-20 (可3)
經文: 馬可福音 3:4 又問眾人說:「在安息日行善行惡,救命害命,那樣是可以的呢?」他們都不作聲。
默想: 在這個安息日醫治枯手的人的事件當中,我們看到主耶穌基督對於舊約十誡的態度。摩西所頒布的十誡,只是簡單提到,要守安息日為聖日,什麼工都不可以做。法利賽人就發展出一套非常複雜的規條,來定義何種事情叫做做工,是安息日所禁止的。犯了安息日是唯一死刑的重罪。主耶穌為了糾正這種對於十誡從嚴詮釋的偏差,冒著被當眾用石頭打死的危險,故意在安息日當眾醫治了這位枯手的病人。主的愛心幫助這位枯手患者早日脫離疾病的困苦,主的勇氣挑戰法利賽人對於十誡律法從嚴詮釋的扭曲。求主幫助我,對於苦難中的弱勢族群有幫助他們的愛心,對於扭曲的信仰詮釋有挑戰的勇氣。
題目: 「凡遵行神旨意的人,就是我的弟兄姊妹和母親了」(34節),耶穌說的這話是什麼意思?你有何想法?
2 意見:
The Lord’s home welcomes everyone. Jesus is concerned about not only His mother and brothers but also whoever loves Him. He never impartially treats His people. Church is the home where God’s people have to love each other like family and undoubtedly He always keeps His eyes on the relationship from within.
"Whoever does what God wants is my brother, sister and mother."
This means we are a family in the Lord’s home.
