第十一章
最好能將全章略讀一遍,再專注於以下經文段落:
1耶穌吩咐完了十二個門徒,就離開那裏,往各城去傳道、教訓人。2約翰在
監裏聽見基督所做的事,就打發兩個門徒去,3問他說:「那將要來的是你
嗎?還是我們等候別人呢?」4耶穌回答說:「你們去,把所聽見、所看見的
事告訴約翰。5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。6凡不因我跌倒的就有福了!」
默想:
1. 你是否也像施洗約翰一樣,雖然信主已經一段時間,但仍然會對自己的
信仰產生懷疑,恐怕所信的不是真的?主耶穌的回答如何幫助解決你的
困境?
2. 在你自己身上或是周圍的人生命中,你何時看見過主耶穌的作為?寫下
至少三件神的作為,現在就為此感謝神。
3. 「回憶神的工作」,「一顆感恩的心」,與「身處困境艱難」,這三者
有什麼互相的關聯與作用?
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:2:13-15
13那等人捨棄正直的路,行走黑暗的道,14歡喜作惡,喜愛惡人的乖
僻。15在他們的道中彎曲,在他們的路上偏僻。
Chapter 11
If possible, read the whole chapter to see the full picture of what is happening here.
Then focus on the following section:
1After Jesus had finished instructing his twelve disciples, he went on from there to
teach and preach in the towns of Galilee. 2When John heard in prison what Christ
was doing, he sent his disciples 3to ask him, “Are you the one who was to come, or
should we expect someone else?” 4Jesus replied, “Go back and report to John what
you hear and see: 5The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy
are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the
poor. 6Blessed is the man who does not fall away on account of me.”
Meditation:
1. Have you ever been like John the Baptist doubting Jesus after a period of
unresolved difficulties and problems? How might Jesus’ reply to John help to
answer your doubts?
2. Where have you seen the work of Jesus in your life and lives of those around
you? Write down at least three things. Then, utter a thanksgiving payer to God.
3. What do “Remembering God’s work, a Grateful heart, and a Difficult Situation”
have in common in bringing us to God?
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 2:13-15
Family Time:
How do we share the gospel with other people? Jesus told his disciples to tell
John “what you hear and see”. Tell people what God has done in our lives is the
best way of sharing the gospel. What can you tell people? Who do you want
to tell it to? Decide when you will tell and pray for the person to be willing to
listen.
