每日箴言
耶稣,行奇妙神迹的那位
“你们的神必来 ......那时瞎子的眼必睁开,聋子的耳必开通。那时瘸子必跳跃像鹿,哑吧的舌头必能歌唱。” - 赛35:4-6
灵修
要接受耶稣是弥赛亚,往往不是一件容易的事,甚至是施洗约翰,也需要证据来确定耶稣真的是神所应许的弥赛亚。
为了向约翰的门徒保证,耶稣引用以赛亚书35章的经文,来强调祂显然已经行了神将要来的国度的异能奇事,又清楚显明祂是以救主的身份到世上来的。
耶稣应验了旧约圣经中很多神迹奇事。祂喂饱了庞大的群众,就像神在旷野赐吗哪给以色列民那样 (参看出埃及记16;马可福音6:30-44;8:1-9) ;耶稣医治病人,祂甚至叫人从死里复活,就像先知以利亚和以利沙所作的 (参看列王纪上17;列王纪下4;路加福音8:49-56;约翰福音11)。而耶稣最伟大的医治神迹,是在十字架上施行的,在十架上祂为我们偿还了罪债 (希伯来书9:28;10:11-14),就如旧约圣经所说的:“他担当我们的忧患,背负我们的痛苦”(以赛亚书53:4)。
现在耶稣仍然在我们中间,祂打开我们的眼睛和开通我们的耳朵,好叫我们可以感恩跳跃和欢乐歌唱。今天神仍然施行神迹,我们只需睁开眼睛,便观赏到奇妙的创造了;我们需要开通我们的耳朵,去聆听信徒蒙神医治的奇妙见证;我们的罪已得赦免,所以我们需要欢乐跳跃,并且大声传讲这个好消息,好让别人都听得到。
祷告
大能的医治者、行奇妙神迹的耶稣,祢的生和祢的死,都赐给我改变的能力。求祢继续把祢医治的能力倾流在我们的身体、意志、和心灵上。奉祢的名求,阿们。
普世佳音每日箴言
Jesus, The Miracle Worker
Your God will come. . . . Then will the eyes of the blind be opened and the ears of the deaf unstopped. Then will the lame leap like a deer, and the mute tongue shout for joy. — Isaiah 35:4-6
Devotion
It was not always easy to see that Jesus was the Messiah. Even John the Baptist needed confirmation that Jesus was the promised one.
To assure John’s disciples, Jesus quoted phrases from Isaiah 35, emphasizing that he clearly showed the mighty signs of God’s coming kingdom, and that he had come as the Savior.
Jesus fulfilled many of the miracles of the Old Testament. He fed multitudes of people just as God provided manna to the Israelites in the wilderness (see Exodus 16; Mark 6:30-44; 8:1-9). Jesus healed and even raised people from the dead, as the prophets Elijah and Elisha had done (see 1 Kings 17; 2 Kings 4; Luke 8:49-56; John 11). Jesus’ greatest act of healing took place at the cross, when he paid the price for our sins (Hebrews 9:28; 10:11-14); “he took up our pain and bore our suffering” (Isaiah 53:4).
Jesus is still among us to open our eyes and unstop our ears so that we can leap in gratitude and shout for joy. God still does miracles today. We just need to open our eyes to the wonder of creation. We need to unstop our ears to the wonderful testimonies of believers about God’s healing. We need to leap for joy that our sins are forgiven and shout this good news for others to hear.
Prayer
Mighty healer, awesome miracle working Jesus, both your life and your death brought transforming power to us. Continue to pour out your healing for our bodies, souls, and spirits. Amen.
