路加福音17:5-6

 

17:5 使徒對主說:「求主加增我們的信心。」
17:6
主說:「你們若有信心像一粒芥菜種,就是對這棵桑樹說:『你要拔起根來,栽在海裡』,它也必聽從你們。

 

The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!”

He replied, “If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey you.

 

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

 

    主耶穌在這裡告訴我們一個很重要的真理就是信心不在大小而是有沒有即使只是像一粒芥菜種也是會發揮能力的

 

    信心是上帝給人的禮物好支取上帝的能力信心不是人給上帝的禮物不是人回報上帝用的!然而人常常喜歡拿信心來炫耀,或是給別人稱讚。但是,這些都不是上帝所喜悅的,因為上帝要人在祂面前靠耶穌基督而不是靠自己!

 

    求主幫助我們,讓我們以謙卑的心來領受信心,好經歷上帝的大能,來榮耀上帝的名!

 

 

 

路加福音17:3-4

 

17:3 你們要謹慎!若是你的弟兄得罪你,就勸戒他;他若懊悔,就饒恕他。
17:4
倘若他一天七次得罪你,又七次回轉,說:『我懊悔了』,你總要饒恕他。」

 

So watch yourselves.

“If your brother or sister sins against you, rebuke them; and if they repent, forgive them. Even if they sin against you seven times in a day and seven times come back to you saying ‘I repent,’ you must forgive them.”

 

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

 

    主耶穌說到人性的軟弱就是不斷的犯罪得罪上帝與得罪人

 

    然而我們要原諒得罪我們的人要接納人的軟弱而不是咄咄逼人要求對方要改變反倒是我們自己要能給人空間接納人會有犯罪的問題

 

    當然給人空間也是給自己空間人才有辦法得真自由因為上帝願意將這空間給我們這個空間就是在基督裡,也願我們都因耶穌基督的緣故彼此原諒!

路加福音17:1-2

 

17:1 耶穌又對門徒說:「絆倒人的事是免不了的;但那絆倒人的有禍了。
17:2
就是把磨石拴在這人的頸項上,丟在海裡,還強如他把這小子裡的一個絆倒了。

Jesus said to his disciples: “Things that cause people to stumble are bound to come, but woe to anyone through whom they come. It would be better for them to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around their neck than to cause one of these little ones to stumble.

 

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

 

    主耶穌這樣的話是要警告我們小心言行因為我們的言行會在無形中影響人連自己都不知道

 

    也因為這樣我們要有敬虔的行為讓人感受到敬畏上帝的重要也因為這樣我們當要求聖靈天天來保守我們的言行不使我們的言行和自由成為別人違背上帝命令的理由

 

    同樣我們看見別人沒有遵行上帝的命令不可以效法讓自己落入罪中以致與上帝隔絕我們要記住自由是用來遵行上帝命令不是用來違背律法

2:1 所羅門定意要為耶和華的名建造殿宇,又為自己的國建造宮室。
2:2
所羅門就挑選七萬扛抬的,八萬在山上鑿石頭的,三千六百督工的。
2:3
所羅門差人去見泰爾王希蘭,說:「你曾運香柏木與我父大衛建宮居住,求你也這樣待我。
2:4
我要為耶和華我上帝的名建造殿宇,分別為聖獻給他,在他面前焚燒美香,常擺陳設餅,每早晚、安息日、月朔,並耶和華我們上帝所定的節期獻燔祭。這是以色列人永遠的定例。
2:5
我所要建造的殿宇甚大;因為我們的上帝至大,超乎諸神。
2:6
天和天上的天,尚且不足他居住的,誰能為他建造殿宇呢?我是誰?能為他建造殿宇嗎?不過在他面前燒香而已。
2:7
現在求你差一個巧匠來,就是善用金、銀、銅、鐵,和紫色、朱紅色、藍色線,並精於雕刻之工的巧匠,與我父大衛在猶大和耶路撒冷所預備的巧匠一同做工;
2:8
又求你從黎巴嫩運些香柏木、松木、檀香木到我這裡來,因我知道你的僕人善於砍伐黎巴嫩的樹木。我的僕人也必與你的僕人同工。
2:9
這樣,可以給我預備許多的木料,因我要建造的殿宇高大出奇。
2:10
你的僕人砍伐樹木,我必給他們打好了的小麥二萬歌珥,大麥二萬歌珥,酒二萬罷特,油二萬罷特。」
2:11
泰爾王希蘭寫信回答所羅門說:「耶和華因為愛他的子民,所以立你作他們的王」;
2:12
又說:「創造天地的耶和華以色列的上帝是應當稱頌的!他賜給大衛王一個有智慧的兒子,使他有謀略聰明,可以為耶和華建造殿宇,又為自己的國建造宮室。
2:13
「現在我打發一個精巧有聰明的人去,他是我父親希蘭所用的,
2:14
是但支派一個婦人的兒子。他父親是泰爾人,他善用金、銀、銅、鐵、石、木,和紫色、藍色、朱紅色線與細麻製造各物,並精於雕刻,又能想出各樣的巧工。請你派定這人,與你的巧匠和你父我主大衛的巧匠一同做工。
2:15
我主所說的小麥、大麥、酒、油,願我主運來給眾僕人。
2:16
我們必照你所需用的,從黎巴嫩砍伐樹木,紮成筏子,浮海運到約帕;你可以從那裡運到耶路撒冷。」
2:17
所羅門仿照他父大衛數點住在以色列地所有寄居的外邦人,共有十五萬三千六百名;
2:18
使七萬人扛抬材料,八萬人在山上鑿石頭,三千六百人督理工作。

 

Solomon gave orders to build a temple for the Name of the Lord and a royal palace for himself. He conscripted 70,000 men as carriers and 80,000 as stonecutters in the hills and 3,600 as foremen over them.

Solomon sent this message to Hiram[b] king of Tyre:

“Send me cedar logs as you did for my father David when you sent him cedar to build a palace to live in. Now I am about to build a temple for the Name of the Lord my God and to dedicate it to him for burning fragrant incense before him, for setting out the consecrated bread regularly, and for making burnt offerings every morning and evening and on the Sabbaths, at the New Moons and at the appointed festivals of the Lord our God. This is a lasting ordinance for Israel.

“The temple I am going to build will be great, because our God is greater than all other gods. But who is able to build a temple for him, since the heavens, even the highest heavens, cannot contain him? Who then am I to build a temple for him, except as a place to burn sacrifices before him?

“Send me, therefore, a man skilled to work in gold and silver, bronze and iron, and in purple, crimson and blue yarn, and experienced in the art of engraving, to work in Judah and Jerusalem with my skilled workers, whom my father David provided.

“Send me also cedar, juniper and algum[c] logs from Lebanon, for I know that your servants are skilled in cutting timber there. My servants will work with yours to provide me with plenty of lumber, because the temple I build must be large and magnificent. 10 I will give your servants, the woodsmen who cut the timber, twenty thousand cors[d] of ground wheat, twenty thousand cors[e] of barley, twenty thousand baths[f] of wine and twenty thousand baths of olive oil.”

11 Hiram king of Tyre replied by letter to Solomon:

“Because the Lord loves his people, he has made you their king.”

12 And Hiram added:

“Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, who made heaven and earth! He has given King David a wise son, endowed with intelligence and discernment, who will build a temple for the Lord and a palace for himself.

13 “I am sending you Huram-Abi, a man of great skill, 14 whose mother was from Dan and whose father was from Tyre. He is trained to work in gold and silver, bronze and iron, stone and wood, and with purple and blue and crimson yarn and fine linen. He is experienced in all kinds of engraving and can execute any design given to him. He will work with your skilled workers and with those of my lord, David your father.

15 “Now let my lord send his servants the wheat and barley and the olive oil and wine he promised, 16 and we will cut all the logs from Lebanon that you need and will float them as rafts by sea down to Joppa. You can then take them up to Jerusalem.”

17 Solomon took a census of all the foreigners residing in Israel, after the census his father David had taken; and they were found to be 153,600. 18 He assigned 70,000 of them to be carriers and 80,000 to be stonecutters in the hills, with 3,600 foremen over them to keep the people working.

 

**********

 

    在所羅門時代以色列開始有國際貿易的進行,是由聖殿的建造所帶動出來的,這是因著信仰而來的附加價值。由此可見信仰也是促進國家社會成長的力量之一,是不容小歔的!

 

    我們不要受唯物主義的影響,以為只有勞力的生產才能促進經濟,經濟的進步是有許多因素的!但是,最重要的是人要敬畏上帝,上帝就會將一切的豐盛賞賜在人的中間。

 

    主耶穌也將這樣的應許賜給祂的子民,主耶穌說:「盜賊來,無非要偷竊,殺害,毀壞;我來了,是要叫羊(或譯:人)得生命,並且得的更豐盛。」(約翰福音10:10)
