这福音本是神的大能,要救一切相信的!

每日箴言(中英)|耶稣和约翰



每日箴言

耶稣和约翰

“约翰的门徒把这些事都告诉约翰。他便叫了两个门徒来,打发他们到主那里去,说,那将要来的是你吗?还是我们等候别人呢?” - 路 7:18-19

 灵修

耶稣和施洗约翰没有什么共同之处。约翰大部分成年生活都在旷野,耶稣则走村串巷,有蜂涌而来的拥护者。约翰晓得用一种方式讲道——敦促人们认罪悔改,得蒙赦免,与神和好(路加福音 3:3)。耶稣的讲道更进升到更高的层次,并且,祂以神迹奇事展现出神的恩典和大能。


路加没有用华丽的陈述来浪费我们的时间。耶稣把约翰无力治愈的人们的疾病治好了,祂把那些矢志毁坏人们生命的邪灵赶出来了,曾经瞎眼的人们可以分享耶稣使他们看见的故事。当约翰的门徒看见耶稣所行的带来许多生命改变的时候,他们看到了天国的神迹。他们把这些事都告诉了约翰。


耶稣让他们提醒约翰他们所见证的一切。耶稣服事那些瞎眼的、瘸腿的、患麻风的、耳聋的、死人,和穷人。这些都是神拣选纳入祂生命册的人。耶稣是在指出,这些改变的生命就是最有说服力的证据,表明祂就是那位要来的弥赛亚,祂带来了神国的福音和新生命。


今天,在我们的生命中也有奇迹。你有没有注意到并且讲述它们呢?


 祷告

救主啊,求帮助我在自己和他人的生命中看见祢改变的大能。并且帮助我也去诉说那些奇迹。奉祢的名祷告,阿们。


普世佳音每日箴言

 Jesus And John

John’s disciples told him about all these things. Calling two of them, he sent them to the Lord to ask, “Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?” - Luke 7:18-19


 Devotion


Jesus and John (the Baptist) had little in common. John spent much of his adult life in the wilderness. Jesus traveled from village to village with throngs of fans. John knew one way to preach—urging people to get right with God through repentance and forgiveness of sins (Luke 3:3). Jesus took his preaching to different levels, and he displayed God’s grace and power in miraculous acts.


Luke does not waste our time with flowery statements. Jesus healed people of diseases that John wasn’t capable of curing. Jesus evicted evil spirits that were bent on ruining people’s lives. People who were once blind could share stories about Jesus giving them sight. John’s disciples saw kingdom miracles as they saw lives changed through Jesus’ ministry. And they reported all this to John.


Jesus told them to remind John of all they had witnessed. Jesus ministered to the blind, the lame, the leprous, the deaf, the dead, and the poor. These were the people whom God had chosen to include in the annals of grace. Jesus was pointing out that transformed lives made the most convincing proof that he, the Messiah, was the one who had to come, bringing the good news and new life of God’s kingdom.


There are miracles in our lives today too. Are you taking note and reporting them?



 Prayer

Savior, help me to see you at work in the transformation of my life and in the lives of others. Help me to tell of those miracles too. Amen.
