讀經 : 路加福音 luke 9 : 57 – 62
9:57 他們走路的時候,有一人對耶穌說:你無論往那裡去,我要跟從你。
And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain man said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.
And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain man said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.
9:58 耶穌說:狐狸有洞,天空的飛鳥有窩,只是人子沒有枕頭的地方。
And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.
And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.
9:59 又對一個人說:跟從我來!那人說:主,容我先回去埋葬我的父親。
And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.
9:60 耶穌說:任憑死人埋葬他們的死人,你只管去傳揚 神國的道。
Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.
And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.
9:60 耶穌說:任憑死人埋葬他們的死人,你只管去傳揚 神國的道。
Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.
9:61 又有一人說:主,我要跟從你,但容我先去辭別我家裡的人。
And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.
And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.
9:62 耶穌說:手扶著犁向後看的,不配進 神的國。
And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
手扶著犁向後看的,不配進上帝的國。—路加福音9章62節
全年讀經 : 歷代志下14-16章
每年一月,很多健康和健身中心都期待著人潮湧入。這些人通常會來幾次,就再也不來了。只要這些人付了錢,健身中心並不在意他們再也不來健身。但是健身教練
傑西.瓊斯(Jesse Jones)卻完全不同。
如果你簽了約卻再也不來,他就會終止你的會員資格。瓊斯說:「省省你的錢吧!幾個月後,當你認真看待健身這件事時,再來見我。我
的目標不是接下來三個月的薪水……而是讓人們為他們定下的目標而努力。」
在路加福音9章57-62節,我們看到有三個人對耶穌說要跟從祂,卻得到了看似嚴厲的回答:「人子沒有枕頭的地方」(58節),「任憑死人埋葬他們的死 人」(60節),「手扶著犁向後看的,不配進上帝的國」(62節)。針對他們每一個人,耶穌說明了身為祂的門徒所必須具備的犧牲和委身。
有一個我很欣賞的基督徒,他有為主獻身的精神,也有敏銳的洞察力。他曾說:「基督徒必須準備好,面對完全的承諾和徹底的改變。」上帝呼召我們並不是只要我們離開舒適的環境,而是要認真地面對這個呼召並跟從祂的腳步。DCM
主,我願獻上我所有,
我要全心全意來愛祢。
讓我按祢心意而生活,
時刻亦步亦趨跟隨祢。
要跟隨耶穌,必捨棄一切。
