7:24 「所以,凡聽見我這話就去行的,好比一個聰明人,把房子蓋在磐石上;
7:25 雨淋,水沖,風吹,撞著那房子,房子總不倒塌,因為根基立在磐石上。
7:26 凡聽見我這話不去行的,好比一個無知的人,把房子蓋在沙土上;
7:27 雨淋,水沖,風吹,撞著那房子,房子就倒塌了,並且倒塌得很大。」
7:28 耶穌講完了這些話,眾人都希奇他的教訓;
7:29 因為他教訓他們,正像有權柄的人,不像他們的文士。
24 “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. 26 But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”
28 When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching, 29 because he taught as one who had authority, and not as their teachers of the law.
*************
主耶穌的登山寶訓結尾勉勵聽眾:「所以,凡聽見我這話就去行的,好比一個聰明人,把房子蓋在磐石上;雨淋,水沖,風吹,撞著那房子,房子總不倒塌,因為根基立在磐石上。凡聽見我這話不去行的,好比一個無知的人,把房子蓋在沙土上;雨淋,水沖,風吹,撞著那房子,房子就倒塌了,並且倒塌得很大。」
這話聽來好像是要人「凡聽見我這話就去行的」,又好像雅各書說的:「只是你們要行道,不要單單聽道,自己欺哄自己。」(1:22)不過在「行道」必須有一個前提,就是要行耶穌基督的道,不是行自以為對的道!所以,重點還是在主的道,不是我們的行!我們的行,是因為道給力量才能實踐出來!所以,我們不是為了行道而行道,而是為了讓主的大能彰顯在我們身上而行!最終還是上帝的主權,不是我們的行為!
另一方面經文說到:「耶穌講完了這些話,眾人都希奇他的教訓;因為他教訓他們,正像有權柄的人,不像他們的文士。」
不禁想到希伯來書1章1-3節說:「上帝既在古時藉著眾先知多次多方地曉諭列祖,就在這末世藉著他兒子曉諭我們;又早已立他為承受萬有的,也曾藉著他創造諸世界。他是上帝榮耀所發的光輝,是上帝本體的真像,常用他權能的命令托住萬有。他洗淨了人的罪,就坐在高天至大者的右邊。」
這也就是說,耶穌勝過世上的眾文士和眾先知,因為主耶穌就是上帝的獨生子,他的光輝勝過一切受造的,甚至勝過天使!然而,這樣的一位主的教訓也同樣勝過人間各樣的教訓,我們更應當戮力遵行祂的話語之教訓!
