第四章
最好能將全章略讀一遍，再專注於以下經文段落：
1隨後，耶穌被聖靈帶到曠野，受魔鬼的試探。2耶穌禁食了四十晝夜，就
餓了，3試探者前來對他說：“你若是神的兒子，就吩咐這些石頭變成食物
吧！”4耶穌回答：“經上記著：‘人活著，不是單靠食物，更要靠神口裡
所出的一切話。’”5隨後，魔鬼帶耶穌進了聖城，使他站在殿頂上，6對他
說：“你若是神的兒子，就跳下去吧！因為經上記著：‘神為了你，會吩咐
自己的使者用手托住你，免得你的腳碰到石頭。’”7耶穌對他說：“經上又
記著：‘不可試探主你的神。’”8最後，魔鬼帶耶穌上了一座極高的山，把
世界各國和各國的榮華都指給他看。9並且對他說：“你只要跪下來拜我，我
就把這一切都給你。”10但耶穌說：“撒但，走開！經上記著：‘當拜主你
的神，單要事奉他。’”11於是魔鬼離開了耶穌，有天使前來服事他。
默想：
1. 若耶穌為了果腹而變石為餅、為證明自己而由殿頂跳下、為免於苦死得
國而跪拜魔鬼，祂就不再是神順命的兒子，不值得我們效法。
2. 但是經文描寫耶穌並沒有抄捷徑來得榮耀，卻選擇走艱苦、漫長的順服
之路，仰賴神的話語而生活、靠神的道來抵擋試探。智慧並非僅僅是明
白真理，還要切實遵行真理。
3. 你對神的話語持怎樣的態度？當試探來臨時，你如何抗拒？
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：1:15-19
15我兒，不要與他們同行一道，禁止你腳走他們的路。16因為他們的
腳奔跑行惡，他們急速流人的血。17好像飛鳥，網羅設在眼前仍不躲
避，18這些人埋伏是為自流己血，蹲伏是為自害己命。19凡貪戀財利
的，所行之路都是如此，這貪戀之心乃奪去得財者之命。
Chapter 4
If possible, read the whole chapter to see the full picture of what is happening here.
Then focus on the following section:
1 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. 2
After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. 3 The tempter came to him
and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.” 4 Jesus
answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that
comes from the mouth of God.’” 5 Then the devil took him to the holy city and had
him stand on the highest point of the temple. 6 “If you are the Son of God,” he said,
“throw yourself down. For it is written: “‘He will command his angels concerning you,
and they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a
stone.’” 7 Jesus answered him, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to
the test.’” 8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the
kingdoms of the world and their splendor. 9 “All this I will give you,” he said, “if you
will bow down and worship me.” 10 Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan! For it is
written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.’” 11 Then the devil left him,
and angels came and attended him.
Meditation
1. If Jesus had turned stone into break, thrown himself down from the pinnacle of
the temple. or worshiped Satan, in order to feed himself, prove himself to the
crowds, or gain his kingdom without dying for it, he would no longer have been
the obedient son of God worthy of our imitation.
2. However, Jesus didn’t take the shortcut to glory, but followed the hard and long
path of obedience, lived by God and resisted temptation by relying on God’s
word. God’s wisdom isn’t just for us to know the truth, but to obey it.
3. What’s your attitude toward God’s word? How do you resist when temptation
comes?
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.

Have you ever been tempted to do something you know you shouldn’t? How
did you stay strong at such time? What did Jesus do to fight the temptation?
What can we do?
