經文: 路加福音 13:4-5 從前西羅亞樓倒塌了,壓死十八個人;你們以為那些人比一切住在耶路撒冷的人更有罪嗎?我告訴你們,不是的!你們若不悔改,都要如此滅亡!

默想: 我們對於遭遇天災疾病以及意外傷害的受害者,常常會不自覺的產生與個人道德表現之聯想。我想這是由於因果報應思維影響之下的結果。善有善報、惡有惡報、不是不報、時候未到。當我們自己遭遇各種天災疾病或意外傷害時,這個因果報應的思維,或許可以帶來個人道德生活的自省與改善,這未嘗不是因禍得福的一種可能善果。但是,當受害者不是自己,而是別人時,這種因果報應的思維可能對於那些不幸的意外災害受害者,產生雪上加霜、傷口撒鹽的雙重傷害效果。主耶穌在此對於這種過度簡單的因果報應思維提出他的挑戰。主耶穌認為,我們人類在上帝的標準檢視之下,其時都是十惡不赦的罪人。當別人遭遇天災疾病時,我們不可能因為他們的遭殃,我們的僥倖免難而得到我們的道德比他們更高尚的結論。我們應該對於遭災的人有悲憫的心懷,對於自己也能更加小心的自我反思與省視,也能求聖靈光照,願意在神面前謙卑悔改。

題目: 當我們自認為認識神,且在服侍神時,是否也會省察所服侍的是自以為的神還是真正的神?(v22-30)
13:1 正當那時,有人將彼拉多使加利利人的血攙雜在他們祭物中的事告訴耶穌。
There were some present at that very time who told him of the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
13:2
耶穌說;你們以為這些加利利人比眾加利利人更有罪,所以受這害嗎?
And he answered them, "Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered thus?
13:3
我告訴你們,不是的!你們若不悔改,都要如此滅亡!
I tell you, No; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.
13:4
從前西羅亞樓倒塌了,壓死十八個人;你們以為那些人比一切住在耶路撒冷的人更有罪嗎?
Or those eighteen upon whom the tower in Silo'am fell and killed them, do you think that they were worse offenders than all the others who dwelt in Jerusalem?
13:5
我告訴你們,不是的!你們若不悔改,都要如此滅亡!
I tell you, No; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish."
13:6
於是用比喻說:一個人有一棵無花果樹栽在葡萄園裡。他來到樹前找果子,卻找不著。
And he told this parable: "A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came seeking fruit on it and found none.
13:7
就對管園的說:看哪,我這三年來到這無花果樹前找果子,竟找不著。把它砍了吧,何必白佔地土呢!
And he said to the vinedresser, `Lo, these three years I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and I find none. Cut it down; why should it use up the ground?'
13:8
管園的說:主啊,今年且留著,等我周圍掘開土,加上糞;
And he answered him, `Let it alone, sir, this year also, till I dig about it and put on manure.
13:9
以後若結果子便罷,不然再把它砍了。
And if it bears fruit next year, well and good; but if not, you can cut it down.'"
13:10
安息日,耶穌在會堂裡教訓人。
Now he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.
13:11
有一個女人被鬼附著,病了十八年,腰彎得一點直不起來。
And there was a woman who had had a spirit of infirmity for eighteen years; she was bent over and could not fully straighten herself.
13:12
耶穌看見,便叫過她來,對她說:女人,你脫離這病了!
And when Jesus saw her, he called her and said to her, "Woman, you are freed from your infirmity."
13:13
於是用兩隻手按著她;她立刻直起腰來,就歸榮耀與 神。
And he laid his hands upon her, and immediately she was made straight, and she praised God.
13:14
管會堂的因為耶穌在安息日治病,就氣忿忿的對眾人說:有六日應當做工;那六日之內可以來求醫,在安息日卻不可。
But the ruler of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus had healed on the sabbath, said to the people, "There are six days on which work ought to be done; come on those days and be healed, and not on the sabbath day."
13:15
主說:假冒為善的人哪,難道你們各人在安息日不解開槽上的牛、驢,牽去飲嗎?
Then the Lord answered him, "You hypocrites! Does not each of you on the sabbath untie his ox or his ass from the manger, and lead it away to water it?
13:16
況且這女人本是亞伯拉罕的後裔,被撒但捆綁了這十八年,不當在安息日解開她的綁嗎?
And ought not this woman, a daughter of Abraham whom Satan bound for eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?"
13:17
耶穌說這話,他的敵人都慚愧了;眾人因他所行一切榮耀的事,就都歡喜了。
As he said this, all his adversaries were put to shame; and all the people rejoiced at all the glorious things that were done by him.
13:18
耶穌說: 神的國好像甚麼?我拿甚麼來比較呢?
He said therefore, "What is the kingdom of God like? And to what shall I compare it?
13:19
好像一粒芥菜種,有人拿去種在園子裡,長大成樹,天上的飛鳥宿在它的枝上。
It is like a grain of mustard seed which a man took and sowed in his garden; and it grew and became a tree, and the birds of the air made nests in its branches."
13:20
又說:我拿甚麼來比 神的國呢?
And again he said, "To what shall I compare the kingdom of God?
13:21
好比麵酵,有婦人拿來藏在三斗麵裡,直等全糰都發起來。
It is like leaven which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, till it was all leavened."
13:22
耶穌往耶路撒冷去,在所經過的各城各鄉教訓人。
He went on his way through towns and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem.
13:23
有一個人問他說:主啊,得救的人少嗎?
And some one said to him, "Lord, will those who are saved be few?" And he said to them,
13:24
耶穌對眾人說:你們要努力進窄門。我告訴你們,將來有許多人想要進去,卻是不能。
"Strive to enter by the narrow door; for many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able.
13:25
及至家主起來關了門,你們站在外面叩門,說:主啊,給我們開門!他就回答說:我不認識你們,不曉得你們是那裡來的!
When once the householder has risen up and shut the door, you will begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, `Lord, open to us.' He will answer you, `I do not know where you come from.'
13:26
那時,你們要說:我們在你面前吃過喝過,你也在我們的街上教訓過人。
Then you will begin to say, `We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.'
13:27
他要說:我告訴你們,我不曉得你們是那裡來的。你們這一切作惡的人,離開我去吧!
But he will say, `I tell you, I do not know where you come from; depart from me, all you workers of iniquity!'
13:28
你們要看見亞伯拉罕、以撒、雅各,和眾先知都在 神的國裡,你們卻被趕到外面,在那裡必要哀哭切齒了。
There you will weep and gnash your teeth, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God and you yourselves thrust out.
13:29
從東、從西、從南、從北將有人來,在 神的國裡坐席。
And men will come from east and west, and from north and south, and sit at table in the kingdom of God.
13:30
只是有在後的,將要在前;有在前的,將要在後。
And behold, some are last who will be first, and some are first who will be last."
13:31
正當那時,有幾個法利賽人來對耶穌說:離開這裡去吧,因為希律想要殺你。
At that very hour some Pharisees came, and said to him, "Get away from here, for Herod wants to kill you."
13:32
耶穌說:你們去告訴那個狐狸說:今天、明天我趕鬼治病,第三天我的事就成全了。
And he said to them, "Go and tell that fox, `Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I finish my course.
13:33
雖然這樣,今天、明天、後天,我必須前行,因為先知在耶路撒冷之外喪命是不能的。
Nevertheless I must go on my way today and tomorrow and the day following; for it cannot be that a prophet should perish away from Jerusalem.'
13:34
耶路撒冷啊!耶路撒冷啊!你常殺害先知,又用石頭打死那奉差遣到你這裡來的人。我多次願意聚集你的兒女,好像母雞把小雞聚集在翅膀底下,只是你們不願意。
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, killing the prophets and stoning those who are sent to you! How often would I have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you would not!
13:35
看哪,你們的家成為荒場留給你們。我告訴你們,從今以後你們不得再見我,直等到你們說:奉主名來的是應當稱頌的。
Behold, your house is forsaken. And I tell you, you will not see me until you say, `Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!'"

  1. 「及至家主起來關了門,你們站在外面叩門,說:『主啊,給我們開門!』他就回答說:『我不認識 你們,不曉得你們是那裡來的!』那時,你們要說:『我們在你面前吃過喝過,你也在我們的街上教訓過人。』他要說:『我告訴你們,我不曉得你們是那裡來的。你們這一切作惡的人,離開我去吧!』」(路13:25-27)

    基督在此說到,進入那門的機會是有限的。時候將到,家主就要起來,把現今正敞開的門關上。我們個人的得救不是靠著熟識主;『主認識誰是祂的人』(提後2:18)。人是從社交應酬上去認識人,主卻是從生命中去認識人, 不要自欺,只有悔改接受主的人才有生命,在外面接近過主的人還是與主無份無關的,神所要的是我們直接憑信心在靈裡面與神的生命關係。過去是這樣,現在也是這樣,沒有世襲的神的兒女,只有悔改信主的,憑著信心,與神同行,才是真正的基督徒,可以在神的國中一同坐席。

    我們的事奉,不是積功德,也不是做給人家看。主耶穌要我們竭力進神的國度、要得神的獎。 不是靠自己的能力,誇耀說:引領多少人歸主;進神的國,不受得救人數多少的影響,乃要盡力對付自己靈裡的生命(22~25),不在乎地位的遠近和時間的早晚,乃要竭力遵守神的法則(26~30);人只顧到得救人數的多寡──神卻顧到是否及時努力進窄門(22~25); 人只顧到肉身的源流和相近──神卻顧到是否遵行祂的旨意(26~30)

    求主幫助我們,要多認識神,傾聽祂的話,謹守祂的誡命典章,按照聖經典生活法則來服事神,服事教會和弟兄姐妹。
