全新四年樂活讀經
W1 2012-04-09 (路21)
經文: 路加福音 21:4 因為眾人都是自己有餘，拿出來投在捐項裡，但這寡婦是自己不足，把他一切養生的都投上了。
默想: 主耶穌稱讚窮寡婦投入兩個小錢的奉獻，比眾人還要多。因為眾人是將生活有餘的，拿出一部份來奉獻。但是這個窮寡婦是自己不足，把一切養生的都投上了。保羅曾經用馬其頓教會的奉獻精神，來鼓勵哥林多教會的信徒，說：弟兄們，我把神賜給馬其頓眾教會的恩告訴你們，就是他們在患難中受大試煉的時候，仍有滿足的快樂，在極窮之間還格外顯出他們樂捐的厚恩。我可以證明，他們是按著力量，而且也過了力量，自己甘心樂意的捐助，再三的求我們，准他們在這供給聖徒的恩情上有分；並且他們所做的，不但照我們所想望的，更照神的旨意先把自己獻給主，又歸附了我們。(林後8:1-5) 求主幫助我，能夠先將自己完全的獻上，當作活祭，過察驗並討神喜悅的生活，然後更願意把神所賞賜給我的金錢，擺在神所要我奉獻的地方。
題目: 奉獻的意義：1.態度出於情不自禁，毫無保留，自然流露。2.奉獻同一金額的金錢，但對不同的經濟能力者，在神看也會是截然不同的評價！(v1-4)
21:1 耶穌抬頭觀看，見財主把捐項投在庫裡，
He looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the treasury;
21:2 又見一個窮寡婦投了兩個小錢，
and he saw a poor widow put in two copper coins.
21:3 就說：我實在告訴你們，這窮寡婦所投的比眾人還多；
And he said, "Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all of them;
21:4 因為眾人都是自己有餘，拿出來投在捐項裡，但這寡婦是自己不足，把她一切養生的都投上了。
for they all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty put in all the living that she had."
21:5 有人談論聖殿是用美石和供物妝飾的；
And as some spoke of the temple, how it was adorned with noble stones and offerings, he said,
21:6 耶穌就說：論到你們所看見的這一切，將來日子到了，在這裡沒有一塊石頭留在石頭上，不被拆毀了。
"As for these things which you see, the days will come when there shall not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down."
21:7 他們問他說：夫子！甚麼時候有這事呢？這事將到的時候有甚麼豫兆呢？
And they asked him, "Teacher, when will this be, and what will be the sign when this is about to take place?"
21:8 耶穌說：你們要謹慎，不要受迷惑；因為將來有好些人冒我的名來，說：我是基督，又說：時候近了，你們不要跟從他們！
And he said, "Take heed that you are not led astray; for many will come in my name, saying, `I am he!' and, `The time is at hand!' Do not go after them.
21:9 你們聽見打仗和擾亂的事，不要驚惶；因為這些事必須先有，只是末期不能立時就到。
And when you hear of wars and tumults, do not be terrified; for this must first take place, but the end will not be at once."
21:10 當時，耶穌對他們說：民要攻打民，國要攻打國；
Then he said to them, "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom;
21:11 地要大大震動，多處必有饑荒、瘟疫，又有可怕的異象和大神蹟從天上顯現。
there will be great earthquakes, and in various places famines and pestilences; and there will be terrors and great signs from heaven.
21:12 但這一切的事以先，人要下手拿住你們，逼迫你們，把你們交給會堂，並且收在監裡，又為我的名拉你們到君王諸侯面前。
But before all this they will lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons, and you will be brought before kings and governors for my name's sake.
21:13 但這些事終必為你們的見證。
This will be a time for you to bear testimony.
21:14 所以，你們當立定心意，不要預先思想怎樣分訴；
Settle it therefore in your minds, not to meditate beforehand how to answer;
21:15 因為我必賜你們口才、智慧，是你們一切敵人所敵不住、駁不倒的。
for I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which none of your adversaries will be able to withstand or contradict.
21:16 連你們的父母、弟兄、親族、朋友也要把你們交官；你們也有被他們害死的。
You will be delivered up even by parents and brothers and kinsmen and friends, and some of you they will put to death;
21:17 你們要為我的名被眾人恨惡，
you will be hated by all for my name's sake.
21:18 然而，你們連一根頭髮也必不損壞。
But not a hair of your head will perish.
21:19 你們常存忍耐，就必保全靈魂（或作：必得生命）。
By your endurance you will gain your lives.
21:20 你們看見耶路撒冷被兵圍困，就可知道它成荒場的日子近了。
"But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation has come near.
21:21 那時，在猶太的應當逃到山上；在城裡的應當出來；在鄉下的不要進城；
Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, and let those who are inside the city depart, and let not those who are out in the country enter it;
21:22 因為這是報應的日子，使經上所寫的都得應驗。
for these are days of vengeance, to fulfil all that is written.
21:23 當那些日子，懷孕的和奶孩子的有禍了！因為將有大災難降在這地方，也有震怒臨到這百姓。
Alas for those who are with child and for those who give suck in those days! For great distress shall be upon the earth and wrath upon this people;
21:24 他們要倒在刀下下，又被擄到各國去。耶路撒冷要被外邦人踐踏，直到外邦人的日期滿了。
they will fall by the edge of the sword, and be led captive among all nations; and Jerusalem will be trodden down by the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
21:25 日、月、星辰要顯出異兆，地上的邦國也有困苦；因海中波浪的響聲，就慌慌不定。
"And there will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and upon the earth distress of nations in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves,
21:26 天勢都要震動，人想起那將要臨到世界的事，就都嚇得魂不附體。
men fainting with fear and with foreboding of what is coming on the world; for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
21:27 那時，他們要看見人子有能力，有大榮耀駕雲降臨。
And then they will see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
21:28 一有這些事，你們就當挺身昂首，因為你們得贖的日子近了。
Now when these things begin to take place, look up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near."
21:29 耶穌又設比喻對他們說：你們看無花果樹和各樣的樹；他發芽的時候，你們一看見，自然曉得夏天近了。
And he told them a parable: "Look at the fig tree, and all the trees;
21:30
as soon as they come out in leaf, you see for yourselves and know that the summer is already near.
21:31 這樣，你們看見這些事漸漸的成就，也該曉得 神的國近了。
So also, when you see these things taking place, you know that the kingdom of God is near.
21:32 我實在告訴你們，這世代還沒有過去，這些事都要成就。
Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away till all has taken place.
21:33 天地要廢去，我的話卻不能廢去。
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.
21:34 你們要謹慎，恐怕因貪食、醉酒，並今生的思慮累住你們的心，那日子就如同網羅忽然臨到你們；
"But take heed to yourselves lest your hearts be weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and cares of this life, and that day come upon you suddenly like a snare;
21:35 因為那日子要這樣臨到全地上一切居住的人。
for it will come upon all who dwell upon the face of the whole earth.
21:36 你們要時時儆醒，常常祈求，使你們能逃避這一切要來的事，得以站立在人子面前。
But watch at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that will take place, and to stand before the Son of man."
21:37 耶穌每日在殿裡教訓人，每夜出城在一座山，名叫橄欖山住宿。
And every day he was teaching in the temple, but at night he went out and lodged on the mount called Olivet.
21:38 眾百姓清早上聖殿，到耶穌那裡，要聽他講道。
And early in the morning all the people came to him in the temple to hear him.
He looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the treasury;
21:2 又見一個窮寡婦投了兩個小錢，

『因為眾人都是自己有餘，拿出來投在捐項裡。但這寡婦是自己不足，把她一切養生的都投上了。』（路加福音 21:4 節）
回覆刪除窮寡婦奉獻的見證
耶穌認為窮寡婦投的比眾人多，因為寡婦赤貧如洗，這是她所有的家當，除此之外她一無所有了。不是奉獻自己多餘的，而是把『養生的』（維持生命的物質）都拿出來奉獻了。那個窮寡婦使耶穌的心得到了滿足。顯然『奉獻的意義』：在耶穌心目中，不是依據金錢數額多寡來決定，而是根據奉獻者的心志以及犧牲的大小來決定奉獻的份量。
人是看外面的表現，主卻是看到人裡面的實際。在神的國度裡，那寡婦的兩個小錢在神的國度的事工上遠比富人的慷慨捐項更有價值。當奉獻帶來缺欠時，或是要付出雙倍的努力時，這樣的奉獻才會顯出他的信心和愛心。因為人都是專顧自己，求主幫助我們，學習那些少數被神得著信心的偉人，他們常是『先求神的國和祂的義』，尊祂為大，討祂的喜悅，以神的信實為糧，依靠神豐富的供應，最後成就了神的大事。
