靈命日糧    2012-03-30


讀經 : 路加福音  LUKE  19 : 1 – 10

19:1 耶穌進了耶利哥photosite,正經過的時候,
And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.

19:2 有一個人名叫撒該,作稅吏長,是個財主。
And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.

19:3 他要看看耶穌是怎樣的人;只因人多,他的身量又矮,所以不得看見,
And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature.
 
19:4 就跑到前頭,爬上桑樹photo,要看耶穌,因為耶穌必從那裡經過。
And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way .

19:5 耶穌到了那裡,抬頭一看,對他說:撒該,快下來!今天我必住在你家裡。
And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house.

19:6 他就急忙下來,歡歡喜喜的接待耶穌。
And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.

19:7 眾人看見,都私下議論說:他竟到罪人家裡去住宿。
And when they saw it , they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.

19:8 撒該站著對主說:主啊,我把所有的一半給窮人;我若訛詐了誰,就還他四倍。
And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.
 
19:9 耶穌說:今天救恩到了這家,因為他也是亞伯拉罕的子孫。
And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.

19:10 人子來,為要尋找,拯救失喪的人。
For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

人子來,為要尋找、拯救失喪的人。路加福音1910

全年讀經 : 列王紀上1 - 4

多年來,亞倫方特所主持的電視節目「隱藏攝影機」(Candid Camera),以隱藏的攝影機捕捉一般人在不預期的情況下做出的滑稽反應,取悅了無數觀眾。至於他們為何採用這種方式,亞倫方特的兒子彼得說:「我們 相信人是美好的,所以我們要確認這一點。」然而,彼得認為其他類似的節目對人的看法卻是:「人是愚蠢的,所以我們要想辦法強調這一點。」

他的評論指出了一件事,那就是我們對人的看法決定了我們待人的方式。

當耶穌去到稅吏長撒該的家中作客時,耶利哥城的人都感到不平。「眾人看見,都私下議論說:『祂竟到罪人的家裡去住宿』」(路加福音197節)。然而當撒 該在心裡徹底悔改之後(8節),耶穌對他說:「今天救恩到了這家……人子來,為要尋找、拯救失喪的人」(9-10節)。

我的朋友鮑伯霍納說:「若我們把人們看成是失敗者,就會輕視他們;若我們把人們看成是失喪者,則會憐憫他們。」
耶穌的眼中並沒有失敗者,只有祂所愛的失喪者。我們是如何看待別人呢?DCM 

主,求祢賜我祢的愛,
愛那迷途遊蕩的羊群;
讓我像祢為他們哀哭,
讓祢尋回失喪的靈魂。Harrison

基督徒應該積極尋回失喪者。
