Bear My Yoke
W5 2011-03-25 (太11)
經文: 馬太福音 11:5-6 就是瞎子看見，瘸子行走，長大痲瘋的潔淨，聾子聽見，死人復活，窮人有福音傳給他們。凡不因我跌倒的就有福了！」
默想: 施洗約翰被關入牢中，聽見耶穌所做的一些事。可能與施洗約翰的期待並不完全一致。因此，施洗約翰差了兩個門徒前往訪問耶穌，把施洗約翰內心的疑惑直接請教耶穌。主耶穌用以賽亞書61章1節之內容的意譯法來回答施洗約翰內心的疑惑。主耶穌說，凡不因我跌倒的就有福了。求主幫助我，不要因為自己先入為主的觀念，而攔阻了我對於主更深一層的認識。
題目: 耶穌說：「天國是努力進入的，努力的人就得著了。」(11:12)，試問要如何努力？要得著什麼？
“The kingdom of heaven has suffered violence, and men of violence take it by force” (Mt 11:12). That’s why the followers of the Lord will fall into temptations, be tested and undergo hardship. What can be our relief is that the Lord promises rest for our souls for He is gentle and lowly in heart. The Lord’s yoke is easy, and his burden is light. Then the road to heaven becomes less tough since we can be comforted and accompanied by Him.
