《遇見神》Day11
《救恩中遇見神》
26 到了第六個月，天使加百列奉神的差遣往加利利的一座城去 (這城名叫拿撒勒) ，27 到一個童女那裏，是已經許配大衛家的一個人，名叫約瑟。童女的名字叫馬利亞；28 天使進去，對她說：「蒙大恩的女子，我問你安，主和你同在了！」29 馬利亞因這話就很驚慌，又反覆思想這樣問安是甚麼意思。30 天使對她說：「馬利亞，不要怕！你在神面前已經蒙恩了。31 你要懷孕生子，可以給他起名叫耶穌。32 祂要為大，稱為至高者的兒子；主神要把祂祖大衛的位給祂。33 祂要作雅各家的王，直到永遠；祂的國也沒有窮盡。」34 馬利亞對天使說：「我沒有出嫁，怎麼有這事呢？」35 天使回答說：「聖靈要臨到你身上，至高者的能力要蔭庇你，因此所要生的聖者必稱為神的兒子 。36 況且你的親戚伊利莎白，在年老的時候也懷了男胎，就是那素來稱為不生育的，現在有孕六個月了。37 因為，出於神的話，沒有一句不帶能力的。」38 馬利亞說：「我是主的使女，情願照祢的話成就在我身上。」天使就離開她去了。 (路加福音一26-38)
18 耶穌基督降生的事記在下面：祂母親馬利亞已經許配了約瑟，還沒有迎娶，馬利亞就從聖靈懷了孕。19 她丈夫約瑟是個義人，不願意明明地羞辱她，想要暗暗地把她休了。20 正思念這事的時候，有主的使者向他夢中顯現，說：「大衛的子孫約瑟，不要怕！只管娶過你的妻子馬利亞來，因她所懷的孕是從聖靈來的。21 她將要生一個兒子，你要給祂起名叫耶穌，因祂要將自己的百姓從罪惡裏救出來。」22 這一切的事成就是要應驗主藉先知所說的話，23 說：必有童女懷孕生子；人要稱祂的名為以馬內利。 (以馬內利翻出來就是「神與我們同在」。) 24 約瑟醒了，起來，就遵着主使者的吩咐把妻子娶過來；25 只是沒有和她同房，等她生了兒子，就給祂起名叫耶穌。 (馬太福音一18-25)
26 In the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, 27 to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. 28 The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.” 29 Mary was greatly troubled at His words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. 30 But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. 31 You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call Him Jesus. 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David, 33 and He will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever; His kingdom will never end.” 34 “How will this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?” 35 The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God. 36 Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be unable to conceive is in her sixth month. 37 For no word from God will ever fail.” 38 “I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May your word to me be fulfilled.” Then the angel left her. (Luke 1:26-38)
18 This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit. 19 Because Joseph her husband was faithful to the law, and yet did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly. 20 But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21 She will give birth to a son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.” 22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: 23 “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” (which means “God with us”). 24 When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife. 25 But he did not consummate their marriage until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus. (Matthew 1:18-25)

分享：你曾否試過在一個突如其來的安排中，被捲入一個你從未預期的計劃？那種感覺，是驚訝、困惑、甚至恐懼。對馬利亞和約瑟來說，他們的經歷正是如此。他們原本只是一對即將結婚的平凡男女，卻因神的救恩計劃，被帶入歷史中最神聖、也是最震撼的一個角色：耶穌的地上父母。
《路加福音》第一章記載了天使加百列奉差遣到拿撒勒一位童女馬利亞那裡，帶來一個完全難以想像的宣告：「你要懷孕生子，可以給祂起名叫耶穌。」(參v.31) 面對突如其來的使命，馬利亞感到惶惑：「我沒有出嫁，怎麼有這事呢？」(參v.34) 但天使的回答不是責備，而是宣告神的主權：「在神沒有難成的事。」(參v.37) 馬利亞的回應是信心的高峰：「我是主的使女，情願照祢的話成就在我身上。」(參v.38) 她選擇相信，即使她知道這份順服可能會讓她面對誤解、流言甚至被未婚夫離棄，但她仍說：「情願照祢的話成就。」
《馬太福音》第一章則描繪了約瑟內心的掙扎。他是一個「義人」，不願羞辱馬利亞，打算暗暗地把她休了 (參v.19) 。直到在夢中，神差派天使對他說：「不要怕，只管娶過你的妻子馬利亞來，因她所懷的孕是從聖靈來的。」(參v.20) 這讓約瑟明白：他不是在參與一場人間的愛情糾紛，而是在承接天上的救恩藍圖。聖經記載：「約瑟醒了，起來，就遵着主使者的吩咐把妻子娶過來。」(v.24) 這是一種信心與順服的回應 —— 他沒有再猶豫、沒有再逃避，而是勇敢地扛起作為耶穌地上父親的責任。
馬利亞和約瑟之所以遇見神，不是因為他們有多偉大，而是因為他們願意說「是」，願意成為神計劃中的一部分。他們的順服，使神的救恩臨到這世界。今天，神同樣會在我們日常中發出邀請 —— 可能是去鼓勵一位正在尋找信仰的人、去饒恕一位曾經傷害你的人、或去踏出你舒適圈服事他人。這些看似平凡的「順服」，其實正是神邀請你參與祂救恩故事的一部分。
你或許聽過「Jesus Film (耶穌電影)」的創辦人保羅艾克曼 (Paul Eshleman) 的故事。他順服神的呼召，製作一部以聖經《路加福音》為藍本的電影，並翻譯成數千種語言，讓世界上最偏遠的族群都有機會聽見福音。這一切的起點，正是由順服神的一句開始：「願祢的旨意成就」。
反思：燃點教會常常提到傳福音、要Save one more。今天，你願意成為像馬利亞和約瑟那樣的人嗎？在神的恩典中說「願祢的旨意成就」，在祂的安排裡邁出信心的一步？不要小看你的順服，因為神可以用你成為別人得救的祝福。
禱告：親愛的天父，謝謝祢揀選馬利亞和約瑟，讓我看見順服的美麗。求祢也幫助我，在生活中常常對祢的話語說「是的」，即使我不明白、即使會付代價，也願意照祢的旨意去行。願我的生命也能參與祢的救恩計劃，成為祝福別人的器皿。以上禱告，奉主耶穌得勝的名求，阿們。
