第十九章
最好能將全章略讀一遍，再專注於以下經文段落：
23耶穌對門徒說：「我實在告訴你們，財主進天國是難的。24我又告訴你
們，駱駝穿過針的眼，比財主進神的國還容易呢！」25門徒聽見這話，就希
奇得很，說：「這樣誰能得救呢？」26耶穌看著他們，說：「在人這是不能
的，在神凡事都能。」
默想：
1. 當耶穌說道：「財主進天國是難的」，門徒們非常詫異。因為當時一般
的看法，認為有錢人能夠蒙神的祝福，是因為他們能夠以他們的財富來
行善，討神的歡喜得到更多福氣。
2. 但是耶穌的看法完全不同，祂的看法是，我們所擁有的越多，我們的產
業就會越霸占我們。一個人在世上被許多財產綁住了，就很難定睛於永
世。
3. 感謝神，因為：「在人這是不能的，在神凡事都能」。神可以拯救我們
得到永生，神也可以拯救我們脫離財富的奴役，使我們成為神的奴僕，
專心事奉祂。
4. 你愛主超過其他一切嗎？還有什麼你看為寶貴的事物，攔阻你成為主的
真門徒？
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：3:16-20
16她右手有長壽，左手有富貴。17她的道是安樂，她的路全是平安。18
她與持守她的做生命樹，持定她的俱各有福。19耶和華以智慧立地，以
聰明定天，20以知識使深淵裂開，使天空滴下甘露。
Chapter 19
If possible, read the whole chapter to see the full picture of what is happening here.
Then focus on the following section:
23 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for someone who is rich to
enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through
the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.” 25
When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, “Who then
can be saved?” 26 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but
with God all things are possible.”
Meditation:
1. When Jesus remarked that it is difficult for a rich man to enter the kingdom, the
disciples were shocked. In general, people view the wealthy as blessed by God,
for they had the opportunity to do good with their wealth and so gain merit with
God.
2. Jesus had a different perspective. The more we have, the more our possessions
may possess us! It is hard for a person with many resources tied up in this world
to focus his or her attention on the next.
3. Thank God that he can do what we cannot. We can be saved for eternity. And we
can be saved from slavery to our wealth so that we can instead become slaves
of God.
4. Do you love God above all else? Is there anything hindering you to become a
true disciple of Jesus Christ?
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 3:16-20
Family Time:
A rich young man asked Jesus how he could get eternal life. Jesus’ answer was
unique to this situation – sell his possessions and give to the poor. How does
this compare with what he told Nicodemus (John 3)? How much wealth must
we have, to love riches so much that they keep us from eternal life? Read Prov
11:28; 1 Tim 6:10.
