路加福音23:26-33

 

23:26 帶耶穌去的時候，有一個古利奈人西門，從鄉下來；他們就抓住他，把十字架擱在他身上，叫他背著跟隨耶穌。
23:27 有許多百姓跟隨耶穌，內中有好些婦女；婦女們為他號咷痛哭。
23:28 耶穌轉身對她們說：「耶路撒冷的女子，不要為我哭，當為自己和自己的兒女哭。
23:29 因為日子要到，人必說：『不生育的，和未曾懷胎的，未曾乳養嬰孩的，有福了！』
23:30 那時，人要向大山說：倒在我們身上！向小山說：遮蓋我們！
23:31 「這些事既行在有汁水的樹上，那枯乾的樹將來怎麼樣呢？」
23:32 又有兩個犯人，和耶穌一同帶來處死。
23:33 到了一個地方，名叫「髑髏地」，就在那裡把耶穌釘在十字架上，又釘了兩個犯人：一個在左邊，一個在右邊。

 

²⁶ As the soldiers led him away, they seized Simon from Cyrene, who was on his way in from the country, and put the cross on him and made him carry it behind Jesus. ²⁷ A large number of people followed him, including women who mourned and wailed for him. ²⁸ Jesus turned and said to them, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me; weep for yourselves and for your children. ²⁹ For the time will come when you will say, ‘Blessed are the childless women, the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed!’ ³⁰ Then

“‘they will say to the mountains, “Fall on us!”
    and to the hills, “Cover us!”’^[b]

³¹ For if people do these things when the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?”

³² Two other men, both criminals, were also led out with him to be executed. ³³ When they came to the place called the Skull, they crucified him there, along with the criminals—one on his right, the other on his left.

    主耶穌是無罪的，竟然與盜賊同列同被釘十字架！然而主耶穌在走十字架的路上仍然是安慰人發預言說：「「耶路撒冷的女子，不要為我哭，當為自己和自己的兒女哭。 因為日子要到，人必說：『不生育的，和未曾懷胎的，未曾乳養嬰孩的，有福了！』那時，人要向大山說：倒在我們身上！向小山說：遮蓋我們！這些事既行在有汁水的樹上，那枯乾的樹將來怎麼樣呢？」

 

    可見主耶穌的心思是以上帝國為念，個人的生死已經置之度外！生命的昇華也在於此，當我們注目在上帝的時候，生命的一切都變得無意義，唯有上帝的旨意實現是最重要！

 

    而主耶穌走上十字架的道路，也是為了完成上帝的旨意！讓我們以上帝的旨意為念！
