第五章
最好能將全章略讀一遍，再專注於以下經文段落：
1耶穌看見這許多的人、就上了山、既已坐下、門徒到他跟前來。2他就開口
教訓他們說、
3虛心的人有福了．因為天國是他們的。
4哀慟的人有福了．因為他們必得安慰。
5溫柔的人有福了．因為他們必承受地土。
6饑渴慕義的人有福了．因為他們必得飽足。
7憐恤人的人有福了．因為他們必蒙憐恤。
8清心的人有福了．因為他們必得見神。
9使人和睦的人有福了．因為他們必稱為神的兒子。
10為義受逼迫的人有福了．因為天國是他們的。
默想：
1. 耶穌將兩種得福的方法加以對比：天國方式是指純粹從神得的恩典；肉
體方式則是指自己的本領。那些一般人認為沒有福或不可能得福的人，
耶穌卻說明神國的生活會使這些人得福。
2. 根據耶穌在這裡的教導，你是否是一個有福的人？為什麼？
3. 要如何才能讓神賜我的福氣，流入我周圍的人與社區中？
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：1:20-23
20智慧在街市上呼喊，在寬闊處發聲，21在熱鬧街頭喊叫，在城門口、
在城中發出言語，22說：「你們愚昧人喜愛愚昧，褻慢人喜歡褻慢，愚
頑人恨惡知識，要到幾時呢？23你們當因我的責備回轉，我要將我的靈
澆灌你們，將我的話指示你們。
Chapter 5
If possible, read the whole chapter to see the full picture of what is happening here.
Then focus on the following section:
1Now when he saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His
disciples came to him, 2and he began to teach them saying:
3”Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
5Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
6Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
7Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
8Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
9Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.
10Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the
kingdom of heaven.
Meditation
1. Jesus is contrasting the two ways to blessedness: the kingdom way of pure gift
from God and the wordly way of human attainment. Jesus takes those people
ordinarily thought to be unblessed or unblessable and shows that there is
something about life in the kingdom of God that makes them blessed.
2. Are you a blessed person according to Jesus’ teaching here? Why?
3. How would you allow God’s blessing flow from you to your community and
people around you?
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 1:20-23
Family Time:
Read this passage slowly once. Ask, what is blessing? Do you like to receive
blessing? What does God’s blessing mean? How is that different from what
people usually think? Pray for God’s true blessing for the family and the loved
ones.
