路加福音19:28-34


19:28 耶穌說完了這話,就在前面走,上耶路撒冷去。
19:29
將近伯法其和伯大尼,在一座山名叫橄欖山那裡,就打發兩個門徒,說:
19:30
「你們往對面村子裡去,進去的時候,必看見一匹驢駒拴在那裡,是從來沒有人騎過的,可以解開牽來。
19:31
若有人問為甚麼解牠,你們就說:『主要用牠。』」
19:32
打發的人去了,所遇見的正如耶穌所說的。
19:33
他們解驢駒的時候,主人問他們說:「解驢駒做甚麼?」
19:34
他們說:「主要用牠。」

28 After Jesus had said this, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem. 29 As he approached Bethphage and Bethany at the hill called the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples, saying to them, 30 “Go to the village ahead of you, and as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here. 31 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ say, ‘The Lord needs it.’”
32 Those who were sent ahead went and found it just as he had told them. 33 As they were untying the colt, its owners asked them, “Why are you untying the colt?”
34 They replied, “The Lord needs it.”

    主要用牠」是這隻小驢駒的意義所在。同樣,我們生命的意義,不是我們自己的努力所賦予的,而是上帝所賜予的!因為上帝造我們是按著祂的形像和樣式,上帝是要透過他所造的人,讓人類遍滿全地,好使祂的榮光就充滿在天地之間。

    雖然我們會像小驢駒一般卑微與無所用處,去要將耶穌基督帶進耶路撒冷,讓人看見上帝兒子榮耀的顯現。同樣,世人也要在我們身上看見上帝的榮光,因為上帝在基督裡拯救我們,就是要讓我們帶著基督的榮美,來彰顯祂的榮耀!

    不管我們的境遇好壞,社經地位如何,我們因著耶穌基督的緣故,永遠是上帝所寶貴的兒女,為祂所看重,因為主要用我們!祂需要我們參與在祂的拯救大功之中!
