全新四年樂活讀經
W5 2012-03-30 (路15)
經文: 路加福音 15:1-2 眾稅吏和罪人都挨近耶穌，要聽他講道。法利賽人和文士私下議論說：「這個人接待罪人，又同他們吃飯。」
默想: 主耶穌到這世上來，最主要的目的是要尋找罪人，邀請罪人來親近他，並且幫助罪人悔改。因此，主耶穌所要做的第一件事，並是與罪人親近，並且讓罪人也會喜歡親近主耶穌。看來，主耶穌在這方面的努力，獲得相當的成功。因此，聖經說，眾稅吏和罪人都挨近耶穌，要聽他講道。主耶穌這種不潔身自愛、與罪人保持距離以策安全的作風，引起了法利賽人的私下批評與議論紛紛，這個人接待罪人，又同他們吃飯。吃飯是一個很好的彼此溝通與親近的方式。求主幫助我，也能學習主耶穌的榜樣，能夠與罪人之間有親和力，與他們相處時，能夠保持在世卻不屬世的關係 (in but not of the world)，能夠與他們作朋友，同流卻不合污。能夠與他們一起吃飯交誼，做他們的朋友，接納不論斷，卻又可以找到適當的機會，來幫助他們看到自己的罪惡，並且有動機與動力，依靠聖靈的力量來悔改。
題目: 法利賽人和文士不希望他們所認定的罪人得救，但耶穌卻告訴他們，牧羊人所歡喜的是那願意悔改的罪人.。試問，在你心中，可有那個你認為不該得救的罪人？(v1-7)
15:1 眾稅吏和罪人都挨近耶穌，要聽他講道。
Now the tax collectors and sinners were all drawing near to hear him.
15:2 法利賽人和文士私下議論說：這個人接待罪人，又同他們吃飯。
And the Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, "This man receives sinners and eats with them."
15:3 耶穌就用比喻說：
So he told them this parable:
15:4 你們中間誰有一百隻羊失去一隻，不把這九十九隻撇在曠野、去找那失去的羊，直到找著呢？
"What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost, until he finds it?
15:5 找著了，就歡歡喜喜的扛在肩上，回到家裡，
And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
15:6 就請朋友鄰舍來，對他們說：我失去的羊已經找著了，你們和我一同歡喜吧！
And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, `Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost.'
15:7 我告訴你們，一個罪人悔改，在天上也要這樣為他歡喜，較比為九十九個不用悔改的義人歡喜更大。
Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.
15:8 或是一個婦人有十塊錢，若失落一塊，豈不點上燈，打掃屋子，細細的找，直到找著嗎？
"Or what woman, having ten silver coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp and sweep the house and seek diligently until she finds it?
15:9 找著了，就請朋友鄰舍來，對他們說：我失落的那塊錢已經找著了，你們和我一同歡喜吧！
And when she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, `Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin which I had lost.'
15:10 我告訴你們，一個罪人悔改，在 神的使者面前也是這樣為他歡喜。
Just so, I tell you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents."
15:11 耶穌又說：一個人有兩個兒子。
And he said, "There was a man who had two sons;
15:12 小兒子對父親說：父親，請你把我應得的家業分給我。他父親就把產業分給他們。
and the younger of them said to his father, `Father, give me the share of property that falls to me.' And he divided his living between them.
15:13 過了不多幾日，小兒子就把他一切所有的都收拾起來，往遠方去了。在那裡任意放蕩，浪費貲財。
Not many days later, the younger son gathered all he had and took his journey into a far country, and there he squandered his property in loose living.
15:14 既耗盡了一切所有的，又遇著那地方大遭饑荒，就窮苦起來。
And when he had spent everything, a great famine arose in that country, and he began to be in want.
15:15 於是去投靠那地方的一個人；那人打發他到田裡去放豬。
So he went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed swine.
15:16 他恨不得拿豬所吃的豆莢充飢，也沒有人給他。
And he would gladly have fed on the pods that the swine ate; and no one gave him anything.
15:17 他醒悟過來，就說：我父親有多少的雇工，口糧有餘，我倒在這裡餓死嗎？
But when he came to himself he said, `How many of my father's hired servants have bread enough and to spare, but I perish here with hunger!
15:18 我要起來，到我父親那裡去，向他說：父親！我得罪了天，又得罪了你；
I will arise and go to my father, and I will say to him, "Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you;
15:19 從今以後，我不配稱為你的兒子，把我當作一個雇工吧！
I am no longer worthy to be called your son; treat me as one of your hired servants."'
15:20 於是起來，往他父親那裡去。相離還遠，他父親看見，就動了慈心，跑去抱著他的頸項，連連與他親嘴。
And he arose and came to his father. But while he was yet at a distance, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and embraced him and kissed him.
15:21 兒子說：父親！我得罪了天，又得罪了你；從今以後，我不配稱為你的兒子。
And the son said to him, `Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you; I am no longer worthy to be called your son.'
15:22 父親卻吩咐僕人說：把那上好的袍子快拿出來給他穿；把戒指戴在他指頭上；把鞋穿在他腳上；
But the father said to his servants, `Bring quickly the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet;
15:23 把那肥牛犢牽來宰了，我們可以吃喝快樂；
and bring the fatted calf and kill it, and let us eat and make merry;
15:24 因為我這個兒子是死而復活，失而又得的。他們就快樂起來。
for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.' And they began to make merry.
15:25 那時，大兒子正在田裡。他回來，離家不遠，聽見作樂跳舞的聲音，
"Now his elder son was in the field; and as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing.
15:26 便叫過一個僕人來，問是甚麼事。
And he called one of the servants and asked what this meant.
15:27 僕人說：你兄弟來了；你父親因為得他無災無病的回來，把肥牛犢宰了。
And he said to him, `Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fatted calf, because he has received him safe and sound.'
15:28 大兒子卻生氣，不肯進去；他父親就出來勸他。
But he was angry and refused to go in. His father came out and entreated him,
15:29 他對父親說：我服事你這多年，從來沒有違背過你的命，你並沒有給我一隻山羊羔，叫我和朋友一同快樂。
but he answered his father, `Lo, these many years I have served you, and I never disobeyed your command; yet you never gave me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends.
15:30 但你這個兒子和娼妓吞盡了你的產業，他一來了，你倒為他宰了肥牛犢。
But when this son of yours came, who has devoured your living with harlots, you killed for him the fatted calf!'
15:31 父親對他說：兒啊！你常和我同在，我一切所有的都是你的；
And he said to him, `Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours.
15:32 只是你這個兄弟是死而復活、失而又得的，所以我們理當歡喜快樂。
It was fitting to make merry and be glad, for this your brother was dead, and is alive; he was lost, and is found.'"
Now the tax collectors and sinners were all drawing near to hear him.
15:2 法利賽人和文士私下議論說：這個人接待罪人，又同他們吃飯。
And the Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, "This man receives sinners and eats with them."

「牧人尋找失迷的羊」的比喻（路加福音15：1-7）：
回覆刪除1) 有一百隻羊(4a)──豫表世人都是屬於主的
2) 失去一隻(4b)──豫表罪人離開主而失迷在世界裏
3) 去找那失去的羊(4c)─豫表主來尋找人
4) 找著了，就歡歡喜喜(5a)──豫表主喜悅罪人悔改
5) 扛在肩上，回到家裏(5)──豫表主全權負責：主的能力帶領罪人歸回神家
6) 請朋友鄰舍和他一同歡喜(6)──豫表父神和神家裡的人都為罪人悔改而歡喜
7) 比九十九個不用悔改的義人歡喜更大(7)──豫表比「自義」而「不知悔改」的人更叫祂喜樂
本段經文(1-7) 和馬太福音(18：12-14)，都談到主耶穌用「牧人尋找失迷的羊」的比喻，雖然不是逐字相同，但思想是一致的。他在那裡啟示的是父的態度，「你們在天上的父，也是這樣不願意這小子裡失喪一個。」（太18：14），現在主再度用失羊的比喻，毫無疑問的，這個比喻也是在啟示父神的態度，但它說明了尋找失羊乃是子的工作。
我們的主在尋找亡羊的途中，是何等沉默無聲。這位神的兒子於經歷的痛苦、崎嶇、艱難之路，是言詞難以描述的。但是這道路的結局是「喜樂」。就是那擺在前面的「喜樂」，那找到亡羊以後將羊扛在肩上的喜樂，使他能忍受十字架的苦難，輕看羞辱。那就是神藉他兒子所顯明的「恩典（救恩）」。---- --- << 坎伯•摩 根( G. Campbell Morgan )-路加福音注釋 >>
我們與神的關係，就好像羊與牧羊人的關係, 這一百隻羊都是屬於主的。我們原是神所愛的、牧養的、看顧的(3~7節)，我們偶為過犯所勝，受到罪惡的引誘而跌倒、迷失---人若離開基督，就要失去基督豐滿的牧養、供應、安息、引領、保守等(參詩23篇)。就好像羊因無知、貪玩、離群而失迷在曠野中(3~7節)，. 牧羊人找著了迷失的羊，就歡歡喜喜(5) ，把羊扛在祂的肩上，就好像主喜悅罪人悔改；我們若認罪悔改，回到父神懷抱中，完全由父神全權負責(3~7節). 。
父神的心意就像是那牧羊人尋找失喪膽羊一樣。主願意一個罪人悔改，在天上也要這樣為他歡喜；卻沒有為九十九個從不承認自己失喪的罪人歡喜。在我心中，沒有以個不該得救的罪人。只要我們確實悔改，認罪，主寶血的功效，必會洗清我們一切的不義，我們蒙救贖，與神和好，回到父神的家中。但我們若堅持沒有罪，自以為義，且認為自己不用悔改的人，主的救贖/救恩，就無法臨到他的身上 (7節)。
