In Time Reap A Harvest
全新四年樂活讀經
W4 2012-07-12 (加6)
經文: 加拉太書 6:14-15 但我斷不以別的誇口，只誇我們主耶穌基督的十字架；因這十字架，就我而論，世界已經釘在十字架上；就世界而論，我已經釘在十字架上。受割禮不受割禮都無關緊要，要緊的就是作新造的人。
默想: 使徒保羅並非不誇口，只是他只誇主耶穌基督的十字架。保羅的十架神學是他信仰的主要核心內容與焦點。保羅對哥林多教會說，我曾定了主意，在你們中間不知道別的，只知道耶穌基督並他釘十字架。(林前2:2) 在這裡保羅說，他只誇口十字架。這個主耶穌基督的十字架，不只是將主耶穌釘死，好救贖我們這些信靠他的人，能夠脫離罪的刑罰。但是，主還邀請他的門徒來效法他的榜樣，願意捨己並背起自己的十字架，才來跟隨主的腳蹤向前行。當我們願意背起我們自己的十字架時，就我而論，世界已經訂在十字架上，就是我對世界已經死了這條心。就世界而論，我也已經釘死在十字架上，就是世界對我也已經死了這條心了。我想前者會比後者先完成。當我被主的大愛所吸引，而心甘情願的向這世界的一切肉體情慾、眼目情慾、與今生驕傲都死了這條心之後，我的生命與生活才能夠活出與世人不同的樣式。這必須再經過一段時間以後，這個世界對我，也才會逐漸的死了他們的那條心。求主幫助我，將我的老我的一切罪行與罪性，都靠主的恩典，一個一個的釘死在十字架上，好讓我在成聖的旅程中，能夠越走越光明，越走越有美好的見證，到了有一天，這個世界，終於也對我失去了興趣，死了那條心。
題目: 偶被過犯所勝的人，犯罪後心靈必承受重擔，因此保羅要我們與他們一起分擔他們的難處，扶助他們。試想，當我們兄姐跌倒時，要怎麼作才是扶助他們、與他們一同分擔？
6:1 弟兄們，若有人偶然被過犯所勝，你們屬靈的人就當用溫柔的心把他挽回過來；又當自己小心，恐怕也被引誘。
Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Look to yourself, lest you too be tempted.
6:2 你們各人的重擔要互相擔當，如此，就完全了基督的律法。
Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
6:3 人若無有，自己還以為有，就是自欺了。
For if any one thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
6:4 各人應當察驗自己的行為；這樣，他所誇的就專在自己，不在別人了，
But let each one test his own work, and then his reason to boast will be in himself alone and not in his neighbor.
6:5 因為各人必擔當自己的擔子。
For each man will have to bear his own load.
6:6 在道理上受教的，當把一切需用的供給施教的人。
Let him who is taught the word share all good things with him who teaches.
6:7 不要自欺， 神是輕慢不得的。人種的是甚麼，收的也是甚麼。
Do not be deceived; God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.
6:8 順著情慾撒種的，必從情慾收敗壞；順著聖靈撒種的，必從聖靈收永生。
For he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption; but he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.
6:9 我們行善，不可喪志；若不灰心，到了時候就要收成。
And let us not grow weary in well-doing, for in due season we shall reap, if we do not lose heart.
6:10 所以，有了機會就當向眾人行善，向信徒一家的人更當這樣。
So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all men, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.
6:11 請看我親手寫給你們的字是何等的大呢！
See with what large letters I am writing to you with my own hand.
6:12 凡希圖外貌體面的人都勉強你們受割禮，無非是怕自己為基督的十字架受逼迫。
It is those who want to make a good showing in the flesh that would compel you to be circumcised, and only in order that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.
6:13 他們那些受割禮的，連自己也不守律法；他們願意你們受割禮，不過要藉著你們的肉體誇口。
For even those who receive circumcision do not themselves keep the law, but they desire to have you circumcised that they may glory in your flesh.
6:14 但我斷不以別的誇口，只誇我們主耶穌基督的十字架；因這十字架，就我而論，世界已經釘在十字架上；就世界而論，我已經釘在十字架上。
But far be it from me to glory except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
6:15 受割禮不受割禮都無關緊要，要緊的就是作新造的人。
For neither circumcision counts for anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.
6:16 凡照此理而行的，願平安、憐憫加給他們，和 神的以色列民。
Peace and mercy be upon all who walk by this rule, upon the Israel of God.
6:17 從今以後，人都不要攪擾我，因為我身上帶著耶穌的印記。
Henceforth let no man trouble me; for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.
6:18 弟兄們，願我主耶穌基督的恩常在你們心裡。阿們！
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brethren. Amen.
Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Look to yourself, lest you too be tempted.

「當然應本著基督的愛心，盡量分擔弟兄的憂患。如此就能互相激發愛心，使教會在愛中增長」（弗4:16）。
回覆刪除經文摘要：
「弟兄們，若有人偶然被過犯所勝，你們屬靈的人就當用溫柔的心把他挽回過來；又當自己小心，恐怕也被引誘。你們各人的重擔要互相擔當，如此，就完全了基督的律法。」（加拉太書 6:1-2）
保羅在這段經文裡，告訴我們弟兄都有可能被過犯所勝，難免有些信心軟弱、或真理上沒有根基的信徒受到影響。對於這等人，我們不可貿然地看他們是沒有盼望的，倒應該存愛心把他挽回過來。我們當警醒，要常常與過犯爭戰。雖然我們偶然會被過犯所勝，但也常有勝過罪惡的經驗。
挽回(καταρτίζω, restore, make it complete or prepare), 英文（restore），意即骨節扭錯而重新接上。在此是指用愛心待他，請且恢復這位弟兄軟弱的部份到完全的地步。 在基督裡，我們每一位同為肢體，徒對於軟弱的肢體，都有責任去「挽回」他們。不論他們是遭受罪惡的試探或道理的試探，我們都應當扶助他們，使他們不至落在迷惑之中。
求主幫助我們，自己也要小心，不要被引誘；更要用溫柔的心，用愛心待他，看到弟兄為自己的錯失憂傷難過時，應當彼此用同情的心，分擔弟兄的憂傷，扶助他，使他得著安慰；在他失敗跌倒的時候，顯出主裡的愛心和溫暖，使他得以從過失中被挽回過來。
