Woman Anointing Jesus Head
W5 2011-11-04 (可14)
經文: 馬可福音 14:3-5 耶穌在伯大尼長大痲瘋的西門家裡坐席的時候,有一個女人拿著一玉瓶至貴的真哪噠香膏來,打破玉瓶,把膏澆在耶穌的頭上。有幾個人心中很不喜悅,說:「何用這樣枉費香膏呢?這香膏可以賣三十多兩銀子賙濟窮人。」他們就向那女人生氣。
默想: 這位被主耶穌稱為,普天之下,無論在什麼地方傳這福音,也要述說這女人所做的,以為記念的婦女,是唯一能夠體會到主將要為世人捨命十架的哀慟,而為主耶穌的安葬作預備。主的十二個門徒,雖然跟隨主三年半,卻連一個也沒有如此體貼主的心腸,反而在此責怪這個婦女浪費。求主幫助我,能夠更體會主的心意,更全然的擺上自己,不要怕周圍的人的誤會與指責,只要討主的歡喜與悅納。
題目: 32~42節,耶穌在客西馬尼園中的煎熬,對於你的信仰上有何鼓勵與學習?
“The sorrow in my heart is so great that it almost crushes me.”
回覆刪除“My Father. All things are possible for you. Take this cup of suffering away from me. Yet not what I want, but what you want.”
When we face some disaster, dependence on God is an only choice. We do not need to conceal anything, just depend on Him.
In the face of death, Jesus turned to pray. Yet He frankly conveyed, “My soul is very sorrowful, even to death…”(Mr 14:34). Peace gave Him strength because He followed His Dad’s will: “Father, all things are possible to thee; remove this cup from me; yet not what I will, but what thou wilt” (14:36).
回覆刪除Even when He was about to die, He still remembered to tell His disciples, “Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak" (14:38). Grief did not overwhelm Jesus but He overcame it.
主耶穌看到門徒根本不能領會祂即將面對十字架的苦難,心裡獨自憂傷,幾乎要死;也看見門徒都因軟弱,不能同祂儆醒禱告,只好獨自禱告。馬可福音 14:36 主說:「阿爸!父啊!在你凡事都能;求你將這杯撤去。然而,不要從我的意思,只要從你的意思。」,可見主耶穌體貼父神心意, 只求遵行上帝的旨意。主耶穌接連三次禱告,為的是要清楚明白上帝的旨意。當祂清楚明白上帝的旨意後,坦然面對即將被賣在罪人手裡的事。
回覆刪除對我的提醒:面對困難環境,親朋好友離去時,心裡憂傷難過時,不要忘記,要等候,儆醒禱告,尋求上帝的旨意,學習順服,仰望,交托的功課。等到長時間的禱告,上帝會讓我們清楚知道祂的旨意,屆時不要再猶疑,坦然面對,絕不後悔,因為祂必與我們同在。
即使只有一人禱告,也不可失望。
回覆刪除如果與人一同禱告,努力持守到最後。
