經文: 馬可福音 2:27 又對他們說:安息日是為人設立的,人不是為安息日設立的。
默想: 親愛的上帝!感謝你,為了我們,你在創造天地時就設立了安息日,讓我們在經過一週的忙碌工作之後,有一天的安息,可以與家人好友相聚歡樂,更可以在敬拜中與你相親。

草戊尚土 牧師,平安:
回覆刪除不是很明白這裡的意思,所以又請谷哥來解釋,他說︰『古代的猶太人用羊皮袋裝酒,當新鮮的葡萄汁發酵成酒時,會產生氣體,而新皮袋可隨著伸展膨脹。但舊皮袋是已經膨脹過的,所以若裡頭放置新酒,便會被脹破。同樣的道理,舊衣服已經縮水過了,而新布還沒有縮過水,所以新舊布補再一起時,新布將縮水把舊衣服抓破了。耶穌以新布與舊衣服、新酒與舊皮袋來說明新生命與舊傳統難以相容。』
所以大部分解釋這段經文總是繞著『老我』和『重生』來闡述,這讓我想到上禮拜去家樂福買東西,看到手機舊換新的廣告,舊的可以折扣五百元,添點錢還可以換新的,這真的讓我有點心動,因為我的舊手機沒有照相功能,也不能上網,更不是什麼3G 手機,但是新的手機,不僅有高像素相機,更可以 3G 上網看影音節目,真的是很酷,這些功能在我的舊手機根本做不到。
後來想想,自己還是習慣用舊手機,因為用久了便懶得改變,何況還得付上一筆代價才換得到新手機,結果我那舊手機就永遠是只有簡單的通話功能。
有時候要把舊的換成新的,可能也不是那麼容易,但是當你發現你無法做到很多事情時,或許便後悔為什麼當初不換成新的了。
但願主 讓我勇於接受改變,不會因襲苟且而劃地自限,讓我能享受新的事物與生命。
卯同學 敬上
"新酒裝新皮袋",也可以用在服侍上,因為我們很容易依照過去的習慣來服侍,是不是可以說是:換位置也要換腦袋?
回覆刪除同意卯同學及jbc所分享,只是…
回覆刪除以前對這段經文的認識在「老我」「重生」。但這次再看經文,又覺得很奇怪,為什麼它會出現在談「禁食」的經文之後?
新郎的比喻,我可以了解,但為什麼說完新郎的比喻後,耶穌又說一個比喻。而這個比喻似乎與禁食沒有關係!
如果說因為問禁食,耶穌用新郎同在回應,而在進深到談,耶穌(新郎)的同在,要帶給當時的以色列人是全新的思考。對律法,不同以往的解釋。我覺的這是跳了一大步的思考推演,第一次體會門徒,及當時以色列人聽不懂耶穌比喻的感覺,我對這個比喻,也有那種剎時轉不過來的感覺。
Dear all, Peng An,
回覆刪除This was a very interesting short parable pair. For me, Jesus used two different but related parables to express the incompatibility between the old tranditional system and the new innovation invention. The old system losted its flexibility and adaptability, while the new invention was full of vigor and energy. In the first parable, the contracting power of the new cloth would pull and tear the old clothes and aggravate the hole of the old system, but the new cloth would be still intact. In the second parable, the fermenting power of the new wine would burst open the old wineskin. But this time both the old wineskin and the new wine would suffer damage and loss at the bursting...
What Jesus advised was to store the new wine into the new wine skin, so as to preserve both. It seemed to be more revolutinary than renewal to me.
Personally, I got some other personal thoughts on these two parables. If you could dip the new cloth into the water to shrink it before mending it onto the hole of the old clothes, then it might help mending the old clothes without causing more damage. If you dip the old wineskin into water to make it more pliable and soft, then when you pour the new wine into that dipped old wineskin, the old wineskin might be able to hold up the new wine without bursting apart. Just some personal thoughts to share with you.....
