全新四年樂活讀經
W1 2013-11-18以賽亞書11
11:1 從耶西的本（原文是丕）必發一條；從他根生的枝子必結果實。
11:2 耶和華的靈必住在他身上，就是使他有智慧和聰明的靈，謀略和能力的靈，知識和敬畏耶和華的靈。
11:3 他必以敬畏耶和華為樂；行審判不憑眼見，斷是非也不憑耳聞；
11:4 卻要以公義審判貧窮人，以正直判斷世上的謙卑人，以口中的杖擊打世界，以嘴裡的氣殺戮惡人。
11:5 公義必當他的腰帶；信實必當他脅下的帶子。
11:6 豺狼必與綿羊羔同居，豹子與山羊羔同臥；少壯獅子與牛犢並肥畜同群；小孩子要牽引牠們。
11:7 牛必與熊同食；牛犢必與小熊同臥；獅子必吃草，與牛一樣。
11:8 吃奶的孩子必玩耍在虺蛇的洞口；斷奶的嬰兒必按手在毒蛇的穴上。
11:9 在我聖山的遍處，這一切都不傷人，不害物；因為認識耶和華的知識要充滿遍地，好像水充滿洋海一般。
默想:
先知在這裡提到上帝為祂的子民所預備的預兆，將來審判會來臨，上帝將從耶西的本發出枝條(大衛的家)，這是一位受膏者，上帝的靈在他的身上。他有智慧與聰明的靈、謀略和能力的能、知識的靈、敬畏耶和華的靈。這樣的描述，使我們對於那將要出生的嬰孩，所代表的意義非常的期待。先知總括這個信息就是，和平之君，以馬內利，上帝與我們同在。
上帝將要籍著一個嬰孩的誕生，賜下一個嬰兒來改變這個世界，由他來管理這個世界，管理的目標乃是要建立人對上帝的敬畏。
對以色列人來說，這是上帝對他們終極的回應，救他們脫離外邦人的轄制、武力的威脅，使百姓國家得到重新的自由。從基督徒的眼光來看，這是上帝對世人的拯救，使我們能夠在「救主」的帶領下，得以經歷上帝的恩典。由於以色列人與基督徒的期待不同，自然對這段經文的詮釋有所不同。但是重要的是，這段經文所代表的是，上帝將以他大能、所預定好的計畫，介入人類的歷史之中，使他所關切的「群體」之命運得到翻轉，在上帝大能的掌權之中，上帝所揀選的群體，將在這終極君王的治理、掌管下，獲得新的命運，就是經歷上帝大能的作為，好讓他們在上帝所建立的大道上，通往祂為這百姓所預備的國度。
