每日箴言(中英)|与耶稣一同坐席



每日箴言

与耶稣一同坐席




“叫你们在我国里,坐在我的席上吃喝...” - 路 22:30

 灵修

犹大和耶稣其他门徒曾坐在同一个餐桌上,吃同一块饼,饮一样的酒。他甚至可能也参与过争论谁为大。这个我们不知道。我们知道的是犹大会离席背叛耶稣,而其他的门徒则会坐在审判的宝座上。


在出卖耶稣的过程里,犹大在耶路撒冷的大祭司和其他领袖眼中被看为大(路加福音22:3-6),然而他们在耶路撒冷的掌权即将消亡。


一个新的王国逐渐诞生,不可思议地是,这王国是透过耶稣所受的熬炼和背叛而成的。正如天父为耶稣预备了一条苦难之路,耶稣在这个新生的王国里也给予门徒类似的角色。


像耶稣一样,门徒们将会受到熬炼和背叛。在这条受苦跟舍己之路上,耶稣更要求他们要尽心服事别人,而这一切只有当神的国完全来到时候才会结束。到那个时候,所有跟随耶稣的人都会在祂的国度里,坐在祂的席上吃喝。到那个时候将不再有苦难、抗拒,以及逃命这样的事。


到那个时候,也将不再有背叛,不再有关于对错的激烈争论和指责。相反,神的百姓将在属天的筵席中统治这个世界,那里有复活的主和所有祂所救赎、与祂一同坐席的人。那将是多么美好的一天啊!


 祷告

圣洁的神啊,祢以祢百姓的赞美为宝座。我们深深信靠祢。奉耶稣的名祷告,阿们。


普世佳音每日箴言

 Seated At Jesus’ Table

“You may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom...” — Luke 22:30


 Devotion

Judas sat at the same table as his fellow disciples, ate the same bread, and drank the same wine. He may even have participated in the dispute about who was greatest. We don’t know. What we do know is that Judas would leave to betray Jesus and that the other disciples would sit on thrones of judgment.


In his betrayal of Jesus, Judas became great in the eyes of the chief priests and other leaders in Jerusalem (Luke 22:3-6). But the rule of Jerusalem was on the way out.


A new kingdom was emerging, strangely, through Jesus’ trials and betrayals. And as the Father had prepared a road of suffering for Jesus, now Jesus gave his followers a similar role in this emerging kingdom.


Like Jesus, the disciples would suffer trials and betrayals. And this troublesome road of suffering and self-denial, to which Jesus added the assignment to serve others, would end only when the kingdom will come in its fullness. Then all of Jesus’ followers will eat and drink at his table in his kingdom. Suffering and denying and fleeing will be no more.


Nor will there be any more betrayal, no more participating in heated discussions and judgments about right and wrong. Rather, God’s people will be ruled from a heavenly table over which presides the risen Lord and all whom he has saved to sit with him at that table. What a day that will be!



 Prayer

You are holy, Lord, enthroned on the praises of your people. In you we trust. Amen.
