第廿七章
最好能將全章略讀一遍，再專注於以下經文段落：
45從午正到申初，遍地都黑暗了。46約在申初，耶穌大聲喊著說：「以利！
以利！拉馬撒巴各大尼？」就是說：「我的 神！我的 神！為甚麼離棄
我？」47站在那裏的人，有的聽見就說：「這個人呼叫以利亞呢！」48內中
有一個人趕緊跑去，拿海絨蘸滿了醋，綁在葦子上，送給他喝。49其餘的人
說：「且等著，看以利亞來救他不來。」50耶穌又大聲喊叫，氣就斷了。51
忽然，殿裏的幔子從上到下裂為兩半，地也震動，磐石也崩裂，52墳墓也開
了，已睡聖徒的身體多有起來的。53到耶穌復活以後，他們從墳墓裏出來，
進了聖城，向許多人顯現。54百夫長和一同看守耶穌的人看見地震並所經歷
的事，就極其害怕，說：「這真是 神的兒子了！」
默想：
1. 基督教信仰的中心，竟是我們的神極致的受辱，並忍受最深的痛苦。
祂自己的同胞要求處死祂，祂的朋友離棄祂，連最親密的父都轉面不顧
祂。
2. 花些時間用心與腦來深思，為什麼全能者要選擇這樣的道路。多讀幾遍
耶穌的話來貼近祂的經歷。
3. 你心中此時漲溢的是什麼？死亡？驚奇？難過？漠不關心？把從心中浮
上來的，一一告訴耶穌。輕輕地把自己拉回耶穌的犧牲與受死上，再讀
一遍經文。讓自己深深地沉浸在整個事件中，繼續體會自己的反應，再
繼續與主交談。
4. 今天找個安靜的地方去散步，或靜坐片刻，安靜默想基督為你的犧牲，
並等待接受祂要給你的恩典。
禱告與筆錄：
繼續安靜在神面前聆聽神，並將你的的思想、問題、觸動你的字、詞、圖
畫，或是與神的禱告，寫在你的靈程筆記簿上面。
今日箴言：4：10-12
10我兒，你要聽受我的言語，就必延年益壽。11我已指教你走智慧的
道，引導你行正直的路。12你行走，腳步必不致狹窄；你奔跑，也不致
跌倒。
Chapter 27
If possible, read the whole chapter to see the full picture of what is happening here.
Then focus on the following section:
45From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land. 46About
the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi lama sabachthani?”—
which means, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” 47When some of
those standing there heard this, they said, “He’s calling Elijah.” 48Immediately one
of them ran and got a sponge. He filled it with wine vinegar, put it on a stick, and
offered it to Jesus to drink. 49The rest said, “Now leave him alone. Let’s see if Elijah
comes to save him.” 50And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave
up his spirit. 51At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top
to bottom. The earth shook and the rocks split. 52The tombs broke open and the
bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. 53They came out of
the tombs, and after Jesus’ resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to
many people. 54When the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus
saw the earthquake and all that had happened, they were terrified, and exclaimed,
“Surely he was the Son of God!”
Meditation:
1. The central event of Christian faith is the incredible humiliation of our God. His
own people demanded his death, his friends deserted him. And now even his
loving Father has turned away.
2. Spend time wrestling with why the Almighty God would choose such a path.
Reread Jesus’ own words a few times to get closer to his experience.
3. What wells up inside you as you meditate on Jesus’ death? Tell Jesus about what
surfaces inside you. Read the passage again if needed. Allow yourself to sink
into the event deeply, being aware of your reaction and talking to Jesus about it.
4. Find a place to be silent. For example, walk in a quiet place or sit in an empty
church sanctuary. Continue meditate on Jesus’ sacrifice for you, and then wait
for what He would have you receive from Him.
Prayer & Journaling:
On your prayer journal, as you listen to God, write down a few thoughts, questions,
words, names, drawings, or anything that has come to your mind during this time.
Proverbs for Today: Prov 4:10-12
Family Time:
Disicuss the meaning of the veil of the temple being split in two. No longer must
persons go through a priest to talk to God. Jesus’ death on the cross made him
our intercessor. Have a time of prayer, encouraging each to thank God for Jesus,
whose death on the cross allows us to come to God with our requests.
