三年讀經默想與題目 (草戊尚土) 100825

Athalia Kills Royal Children

W3  2010-08-25 (代下21:1-22:12)
 

經文: 歷代志下 21:4 約蘭興起坐他父的位,奮勇自強,就用刀殺了他的眾兄弟和以色列的幾個首領。
 
默想: 約蘭王為了鞏固他的政治領導地位,在登基之後,竟然親手殘殺親兄弟,以及以色列的領袖。求主幫助我,不要為了自己的地位與利益,而傷害別人。
 
題目: 你對於約蘭國王的一生有何感想呢?

  1. Jehoshaphat gave the kingdom to Jehoram because he was his first-born son. The selection of a successor should not be based on the birth order but on whether the targeted one is virtuous or not.

    Not everyone can stay sensible when power and the throne is in hand. Jehoram’s reign, which ended with notoriety, was a telling example. He did evil in the eyes of the Lord. Well goes a saying, “Power tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely.”

  2. 大家平安

    「約蘭登基的時候年三十二歲,在耶路撒冷作王八年。他去世無人思慕,眾人葬他在大衛城,只是不在列王的墳墓裡。」(21:20)

    我們會思慕對我們的生命有正面影響的人,約蘭生前的表現,不僅沒有人思慕他,甚至不把他當王來葬,所謂「蓋棺論定」,約蘭在上帝寶座前恐怕也很難"交待"。

  3. Dear All, Peng An,

    Jehoram is one Israel king but leaved and againsted God. He becomes one guy who only cares himself. He can do any cruel and evil thing just for his desire. At the end of his life, he still needs to face to God. May Lord help me to have wisdom to fear Lord.

    Stephen
