Yahweh Hates Domestic Violence
經文: 瑪拉基書 1:6 「藐視我名的祭司啊，萬軍之耶和華對你們說：兒子尊敬父親，僕人敬畏主人；我既為父親，尊敬我的在那裡呢？我既為主人，敬畏我的在那裡呢？你們卻說：『我們在何事上藐視你的名呢？』
默想: 祭司本來是蒙耶和華特別揀選，專職帶領以色列人來敬拜侍奉耶和華。但是很遺憾的，祭司卻失去了對於耶和華的敬愛與敬畏，甚至藐視耶和華的名。求主幫助我，讓我一生都尊你
的名為聖，一生都盡力活出榮耀神的生活。
題目：你從本段經文中是否看出我們的宗教生活與倫理生活有密切的關係？
“A son honors his father, and a slave his master. If I am a father, where is the honor due me? If I am a master, where is the respect due me?” says the Lord Almighty (Malachi 1:6). God must be disappointed because He doesn’t receive the respect He deserves from His people.
回覆刪除What’s worse, His people do not know what’s wrong with them. They ask, “How have you loved us? (1:2) How have we shown contempt for your name? (1:6)” They also feel reluctant to give offerings with reverence, saying, “What a burden! (1:13)”
Therefore, we should often reflect on ourselves whether we honor the Lord from the bottom of our heart and whether we consider Him more supreme than our father or our master.
大家平安
