路加福音9:28-36

 

9:28 說了這話以後約有八天，耶穌帶著彼得、約翰、雅各上山去禱告。
9:29 正禱告的時候，他的面貌就改變了，衣服潔白放光。
9:30 忽然有摩西、以利亞兩個人同耶穌說話；
9:31 他們在榮光裡顯現，談論耶穌去世的事，就是他在耶路撒冷將要成的事。
9:32 彼得和他的同伴都打盹，既清醒了，就看見耶穌的榮光，並同他站著的那兩個人。
9:33 二人正要和耶穌分離的時候，彼得對耶穌說：「夫子，我們在這裡真好！可以搭三座棚，一座為你，一座為摩西，一座為以利亞。」他卻不知道所說的是甚麼。
9:34 說這話的時候，有一朵雲彩來遮蓋他們；他們進入雲彩裡就懼怕。
9:35 有聲音從雲彩裡出來，說：「這是我的兒子，我所揀選的（有古卷：這是我的愛子），你們要聽他。」
9:36 聲音住了，只見耶穌一人在那裡。當那些日子，門徒不提所看見的事，一樣也不告訴人。

 

²⁸ About eight days after Jesus said this, he took Peter, John and James with him and went up onto a mountain to pray. ²⁹ As he was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became as bright as a flash of lightning. ³⁰ Two men, Moses and Elijah, appeared in glorious splendor, talking with Jesus. ³¹ They spoke about his departure,^[a] which he was about to bring to fulfillment at Jerusalem. ³² Peter and his companions were very sleepy, but when they became fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men standing with him. ³³ As the men were leaving Jesus, Peter said to him, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.” (He did not know what he was saying.)

³⁴ While he was speaking, a cloud appeared and covered them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud. ³⁵ A voice came from the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, whom I have chosen; listen to him.” ³⁶ When the voice had spoken, they found that Jesus was alone. The disciples kept this to themselves and did not tell anyone at that time what they had seen.

    主耶穌在山上榮耀的彰顯，並有天上的聲音說：「這是我的兒子，我所揀選的（有古卷：這是我的愛子），你們要聽他。」

 

    雖然摩西和以利亞都是上帝所重用的人，卻不能和主耶穌相比！同樣我們看見許多屬靈或信心的偉人，但是我們不要忘記這些人之所以能如此，是因為主耶穌的救贖，使上帝的榮光彰顯在他們身上！所以真正的偉大是因為主耶穌，因為主耶穌雖用人的樣式在人的中間，祂真正的身分是上帝的獨生子，也就是上帝！

 

    我們雖然看見許多見證人如雲彩圍繞我們，其實只見耶穌一人，這些人都是見證耶穌基督是上帝的兒子！

 

 

 

路加福音9:21-27

 

9:21 耶穌切切地囑咐他們，不可將這事告訴人，
9:22 又說：「人子必須受許多的苦，被長老、祭司長、和文士棄絕，並且被殺，第三日復活。」
9:23 耶穌又對眾人說：「若有人要跟從我，就當捨己，天天背起他的十字架來跟從我。
9:24 因為，凡要救自己生命（生命：或譯靈魂；下同）的，必喪掉生命；凡為我喪掉生命的，必救了生命。
9:25 人若賺得全世界，卻喪了自己，賠上自己，有甚麼益處呢？
9:26 凡把我和我的道當作可恥的，人子在自己的榮耀裡，並天父與聖天使的榮耀裡降臨的時候，也要把那人當作可恥的。
9:27 我實在告訴你們，站在這裡的，有人在沒嘗死味以前，必看見上帝的國。」

 

²¹ Jesus strictly warned them not to tell this to anyone. ²² And he said, “The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and he must be killed and on the third day be raised to life.”

²³ Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me. ²⁴ For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it. ²⁵ What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit their very self? ²⁶ Whoever is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.

²⁷ “Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God.”

 

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

 

    這是何等榮美的應許：「我實在告訴你們，站在這裡的，有人在沒嘗死味以前，必看見上帝的國。」

 

    是的！我們在基督裡，必定看見上帝國！因為上帝國就是上帝掌權的地方，上帝的榮美與公義的彰顯！只要我們勇敢跟隨主，必能感受到主耶穌復活的大能！正如主耶穌所說：「凡為我喪掉生命的，必救了生命。」

 

    正如希伯來書12章1-2節說：「我們既有這許多的見證人，如同雲彩圍著我們，就當放下各樣的重擔，脫去容易纏累我們的罪，存心忍耐，奔那擺在我們前頭的路程，仰望為我們信心創始成終的耶穌（或譯：仰望那將真道創始成終的耶穌）。他因那擺在前面的喜樂，就輕看羞辱，忍受了十字架的苦難，便坐在上帝寶座的右邊。」

 

 

 

路加福音9:18-20

9:18 耶穌自己禱告的時候，門徒也同他在那裡。耶穌問他們說：「眾人說我是誰？」
9:19 他們說：「有人說是施洗的約翰；有人說是以利亞；還有人說是古時的一個先知又活了。」
9:20 耶穌說：「你們說我是誰？」彼得回答說：「是上帝所立的基督。」

 

¹⁸ Once when Jesus was praying in private and his disciples were with him, he asked them, “Who do the crowds say I am?”

¹⁹ They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, that one of the prophets of long ago has come back to life.”

²⁰ “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?”

Peter answered, “God’s Messiah.”

 

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

 

    我們對主耶穌的認識應該如同彼得一般：「是上帝所立的基督。」

 

    基督的意義就是受膏者，在舊約稱為彌賽亞！而在神學上的定義就是：神人二性一位格；就祂的職分就是：先知、祭司和君王！

路加福音9:10-17

 

9:10 使徒回來，將所做的事告訴耶穌，耶穌就帶他們暗暗地離開那裡，往一座城去；那城名叫伯賽大。
9:11 但眾人知道了，就跟著他去；耶穌便接待他們，對他們講論上帝國的道，醫治那些需要醫治的人。
9:12 日頭快要平西，十二個門徒來對他說：「請叫眾人散開，他們好往四面鄉村裡去借宿找吃的，因為我們這裡是野地。」
9:13 耶穌說：「你們給他們吃吧！」門徒說：「我們不過有五個餅，兩條魚，若不去為這許多人買食物就不夠。」
9:14 那時，人數約有五千。耶穌對門徒說：「叫他們一排一排地坐下，每排大約五十個人。」
9:15 門徒就如此行，叫眾人都坐下。
9:16 耶穌拿著這五個餅，兩條魚，望著天祝福，擘開，遞給門徒，擺在眾人面前。
9:17 他們就吃，並且都吃飽了；把剩下的零碎收拾起來，裝滿了十二籃子。

 

¹⁰ When the apostles returned, they reported to Jesus what they had done. Then he took them with him and they withdrew by themselves to a town called Bethsaida, ¹¹ but the crowds learned about it and followed him. He welcomed them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and healed those who needed healing.

¹² Late in the afternoon the Twelve came to him and said, “Send the crowd away so they can go to the surrounding villages and countryside and find food and lodging, because we are in a remote place here.”

¹³ He replied, “You give them something to eat.”

They answered, “We have only five loaves of bread and two fish—unless we go and buy food for all this crowd.” ¹⁴ (About five thousand men were there.)

But he said to his disciples, “Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each.” ¹⁵ The disciples did so, and everyone sat down. ¹⁶ Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke them. Then he gave them to the disciples to distribute to the people. ¹⁷ They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.

 

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

 

    有句話說：「民以食為天！」

 

    表示吃東西對人是很重要的，因為身體的生命的延續需要靠飲食。而主耶穌取了肉身住在人中間，知道人有飲食的需要。所以，他才會對門徒說：「你們給他們吃吧！」

 

    這的確是對門徒一大考驗，門徒說：「我們不過有五個餅，兩條魚，若不去為這許多人買食物就不夠。」

 

    但是主耶穌對門徒說：「叫他們一排一排地坐下，每排大約五十個人。」

 

    耶穌拿著這五個餅，兩條魚，望著天祝福，擘開，遞給門徒，擺在眾人面前。奇妙的事情就發生了：他們就吃，並且都吃飽了；把剩下的零碎收拾起來，裝滿了十二籃子。

 

    從這事我們看見，不要擔心我們擁有的不多，而是要勇敢將我們所有的交給主來用，將會發生我們無法想像的事情：我們所擁有的就成為主耶穌賜給別人的供應，人因此得飽足而使主的名大得榮耀！
