以賽亞書58章9-12節

 

58:9 那時你求告，耶和華必應允；你呼求，他必說：我在這裏。你若從你中間除掉重軛和指摘人的指頭，並發惡言的事，
58:10 你心若向飢餓的人發憐憫，使困苦的人得滿足，你的光就必在黑暗中發現；你的幽暗必變如正午。
58:11 耶和華也必時常引導你，在乾旱之地使你心滿意足，骨頭強壯。你必像澆灌的園子，又像水流不絕的泉源。
58:12 那些出於你的人必修造久已荒廢之處；你要建立拆毀累代的根基。你必稱為補破口的，和重修路徑與人居住的。

Then you will call, and the LORD will answer; you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I. ‘If you do away with the yoke of oppression, with the pointing finger and malicious talk, and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday. The LORD will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail. Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins and will raise up the age-old foundations; you will be called Repairer of Broken Walls, Restorer of Streets with Dwellings.

********************************

    基督徒是「補破口的，和重修路徑與人居住的」。

    因為自從亞當夏娃犯罪以來，人與上帝之間有極大之破口，耶穌基督是「補破口的，和重修路徑與人居住的」。所以，上帝與人的關係和好，完全靠耶穌基督。

    基督徒是奉差遣，在聖靈引導下實現耶穌基督所托負之使命。求主常常與我們同在，好讓破口得以修補，路徑得於重修，上帝是樂意與敬畏祂的人同住，答應其禱告。這是主所應許的！
