彼得後書3:10-12



3:10 但主的日子要像賊來到一樣。那日,天必大有響聲廢去,有形質的都要被烈火銷化,地和其上的物都要燒盡了。
3:11 這一切既然都要如此銷化,你們為人該當怎樣聖潔,怎樣敬虔,
3:12 切切仰望上帝的日子來到。在那日,天被火燒就銷化了,有形質的都要被烈火鎔化。

But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a loud noise, and the elements will be dissolved with fire, and the earth and everything that is done on it will be disclosed. Since all these things are to be dissolved in this way, what sort of persons ought you to be in leading lives of holiness and godliness, waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be set ablaze and dissolved, and the elements will melt with fire?

Chúng-he, Chú chai-lòi ke-ngit chhiu-chhiong chhe̍t-é fut-yèn lòi-to yit-yong. Chhai ke-ngit, chû-thiên voi chhai thai-sâng chûng sêu-sṳt, sên-sṳ̀n voi chhai lie̍t-fó chûng sêu-thet, thai-thi lâu van-vu̍t lûng-chúng voi sêu-me̍t thet-hi.

Ngì-têu yin-tông oi ko sṳn-kiet lâu khièn-sṳ̀n ke sên-fa̍t, lòi tén-heu Song-ti ke ngit-è, chhûi-pet kì kón-kín lòi( 4 3:12 “chhûi-pet kì kón-kín lòi” ya-he yi̍t-cho “chhiet-chhiet ngióng-mong kì ke lòi-to”.). Chhai ke-ngit, chû-thiên voi pûn-fó sêu-me̍t-thet, sên-sṳ̀n voi chhai lie̍t-fó chûng yùng-thet.

    使徒告訴讀者主耶穌再來的日子像賊來到一樣要以聖潔和敬虔來切望那日子也就是說,要隨時準備好自己,好來面對主耶穌再來。因為主耶穌再來是必然性的,只是早晚的問題。

    也因為這樣,我們必須活出對主耶穌再來的肯定性,大大小小的事都要考慮到主耶穌再來時,我們必被祂帶到榮耀之處,進入祂的國。更要肯定的是,現在的一切,都要因為祂的再來而改變,一切都要更新與改換,如同被火所銷化,就是燒毀的意思。

    讓我們天天預備好自己因為在我們想不到的時候主耶穌救再來了我們就與眾聖徒同入榮耀中這就是被提的意義相信你也必肯定自己是真正被提的,因為你是透過信靠耶穌基督,成為上帝的兒女!


彼得後書3:3-7



3:3 第一要緊的,該知道在末世必有好譏誚的人隨從自己的私慾出來譏誚說:
3:4 「主要降臨的應許在哪裡呢?因為從列祖睡了以來,萬物與起初創造的時候仍是一樣。」
3:5 他們故意忘記,從太古,憑上帝的命有了天,並從水而出、藉水而成的地。
3:6 故此,當時的世界被水淹沒就消滅了。
3:7 但現在的天地還是憑著那命存留,直留到不敬虔之人受審判遭沉淪的日子,用火焚燒。

First of all you must understand this, that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and indulging their own lusts and saying, “Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since our ancestors died, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation!” They deliberately ignore this fact, that by the word of God heavens existed long ago and an earth was formed out of water and by means of water, through which the world of that time was deluged with water and perished. But by the same word the present heavens and earth have been reserved for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of the godless.

Chui chhung-yeu ke he, ngì-têu yit-thin oi tî, chhai liá ma̍t-heu ke ngit-khì, yû-têu ngìn su sṳ̂-yu̍k ke hot-chṳ, voi chhut-lòi met-sa ngì-têu, kóng: “Kì m̀-he yin-hí oi chai-lòi mâ? Kì chhai nai-vi nè? Ngài-têu ke chú-siên lûng-chúng ko-sṳ̂n lé, chúng-he van-yû kám m̀-he hàn lâu thai-chhû chhóng-chho ke sṳ̀ khiung-yong mâ?” Kì-têu thiâu-thiâu m̀ ki-tet Song-ti chhai thai-chhû yung Kì ke fa chhóng-chho thiên-thi liá-ke sṳ-sṳ̍t.

    主耶穌再來這樣重要的信息在講台上已經漸漸被遺忘了多少傳道者去傳講這被弟兄姊妹忽略的信息呢?因為它是發生在將來的事件,不關現在的事嗎?所以不必理會它?

    不是的,使徒們說道這事時,是與現在的生活所行是有相關的。因為我們現在是走在往「主耶穌再來」這個事件中,我們的一步一腳印,都是與這件事有關係,因為這條路是主耶穌走的,我們跟隨祂的人也要走。一步都不能差錯,一有差錯若不是聖靈的引導,我們就將會迷失。這也是為甚麼基督徒要常常悔改之原因,就是要修正自己的腳步,走向永生,面對耶穌基督必再來的事實。

    然而耶穌再來必帶來審判而可預知的是若是世人不悔改歸向上帝終必因自己的罪行而受到刑罰這刑罰必如火一般焚燒一切的悖逆和罪惡。要脫離這樣的命運,只有靠上帝在耶穌督裡的救恩。因為上帝是愛,所以祂設立這救恩。並且愛到一個程度,就是他最寶貴的愛子耶穌基督,都為人捨了!



彼得後書3:1-2



3:1 親愛的弟兄啊,我現在寫給你們的是第二封信。這兩封都是提醒你們,激發你們誠實的心,
3:2 叫你們記念聖先知預先所說的話和主救主的命令,就是使徒所傳給你們的。

This is now, beloved, the second letter I am writing to you; in them I am trying to arouse your sincere intention by reminding you that you should remember the words spoken in the past by the holy prophets, and the commandment of the Lord and Savior spoken through your apostles.

Chhîn-oi ke phèn-yû â, ngài liá-ha siá pûn ngì-têu ke he thi-ngi-fûng sin-é. Chhai lióng-fûng sin-é tî-poi, ngài lûng-chúng thì-siáng ngì-têu liá-têu sṳ-chhìn lòi kit-fat ngì-têu sùn-kiet ke sṳ̂-sióng. Ngài oi ngì-têu ki-tet kú-chó sṳ̀ ke-têu sṳn siên-tî só-kóng ke fa, hàn-yû ngài-têu ke Chú — Kiu-chú thûng-ko chung sṳ́-thù chhòn-pûn ngì-têu ke min-lin.

    使徒不是自立的使徒更不是傳自己的想法或觀念而是要傳:先知預先所說的話和主救主的命令。這也是屬基督的傳道人一生的心志,也是一生要努力的目標。

    而這裡所說的「先知預先所說的話和主救主的命令」就是聖經,包含了就約和新約。也因此,傳道人一生努力就是認識聖經,傳講聖經,不是忙著做公益的事情。許多的傳道人為什麼無法牧好會,就是忙於公益活動,忘記以上帝的話餵養群羊。

    今天我也加入這行列,應當以使徒彼得這段話,為我一生努力的目標,傳承使徒所做的事,就是傳講「先知預先所說的話和主救主的命令」,這就是使徒的遺緒!
