《馬太福音》Day43
《真正的門徒》
1 安息日將盡,七日的頭一日,天快亮的時候,抹大拉的馬利亞和那個馬利亞來看墳墓。2 忽然,地大震動;因為有主的使者從天上下來,把石頭滾開,坐在上面。3 他的相貌如同閃電,衣服潔白如雪。4 看守的人就因他嚇得渾身亂戰,甚至和死人一樣。5 天使對婦女說:「不要害怕!我知道你們是尋找那釘十字架的耶穌。6 祂不在這裏,照祂所說的,已經復活了。你們來看安放主的地方。7 快去告訴祂的門徒,說祂從死裏復活了,並且在你們以先往加利利去,在那裏你們要見祂。看哪,我已經告訴你們了。」8 婦女們就急忙離開墳墓,又害怕,又大大地歡喜,跑去要報給祂的門徒。9 忽然,耶穌遇見她們,說:「願你們平安!」她們就上前抱住祂的腳拜祂。10 耶穌對她們說:「不要害怕!你們去告訴我的弟兄,叫他們往加利利去,在那裏必見我。」11 她們去的時候,看守的兵有幾個進城去,將所經歷的事都報給祭司長。12 祭司長和長老聚集商議,就拿許多銀錢給兵丁,說:13 「你們要這樣說:『夜間我們睡覺的時候,祂的門徒來,把祂偷去了。』14 倘若這話被巡撫聽見,有我們勸祂,保你們無事。」15 兵丁受了銀錢,就照所囑咐他們的去行。這話就傳說在猶太人中間,直到今日。
16 十一個門徒往加利利去,到了耶穌約定的山上。17 他們見了耶穌就拜祂,然而還有人疑惑。18 耶穌進前來,對他們說:「天上地下所有的權柄都賜給我了。19 所以,你們要去,使萬民作我的門徒,奉父、子、聖靈的名給他們施洗 。20 凡我所吩咐你們的,都教訓他們遵守,我就常與你們同在,直到世界的末了。」(馬太福音廿八1-20)
1 After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb. 2 There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. 3 His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. 4 The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men. 5 The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. 6 He is not here; He has risen, just as He said. Come and see the place where he lay. 7 Then go quickly and tell His disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see Him.’ Now I have told you.” 8 So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell His disciples. 9 Suddenly Jesus met them. “Greetings,” He said. They came to Him, clasped His feet and worshiped Him. 10 Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go and tell My brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see Me.” 11 While the women were on their way, some of the guards went into the city and reported to the chief priests everything that had happened. 12 When the chief priests had met with the elders and devised a plan, they gave the soldiers a large sum of money, 13 telling them, “You are to say, ‘His disciples came during the night and stole Him away while we were asleep.’ 14 If this report gets to the governor, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.” 15 So the soldiers took the money and did as they were instructed. And this story has been widely circulated among the Jews to this very day.
16 Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17 When they saw Him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (Matthew 28:1-20)

分享【真正的門徒,不只是相信復活,而是回應差遣】
《馬太福音》廿八章記載,當耶穌的犧牲後,第三天復活。然而,復活並不是故事的完結,而是整個救贖計劃的轉捩點。耶穌承擔我們的罪,將罪帶入死亡之中,而復活,正是盼望真正的起點。
當婦女來到墳墓,原以為只會看見死亡的痕跡,卻遇見復活的主。她們「又害怕,又大大地歡喜」,跑去報給門徒。復活,不單帶來震撼,更帶來一個全新的呼召。門徒在加利利的山上見到復活的耶穌,「就拜祂,然而還有人疑惑。」這一刻提醒我們:跟隨主的人,不一定完全沒有掙扎,但仍然可以選擇敬拜與回應。就在此時,耶穌向他們宣告「天上地下所有的權柄都賜給我了」,因此,祂差遣門徒,去使萬人作主的門徒,奉父、子、聖靈的名給他們施洗。
各位,復活不單是勝過死亡的證明,更是差遣的根據。因為祂已經得勝,所以祂差遣門徒,領受傳福音,使人作主門徒的使命。所以,真正的跟隨,不只是停留在「相信祂復活」,更是回應祂的差遣。最後,在這差遣之中,主亦給出最大的應許:「我就常與你們同在,直到世界的末了。」耶穌要提醒門徒——跟隨主,從來不是單靠人的能力,而是在祂同在之中前行。
願我們同心作主的門徒,作忠心的跟隨者,使福音在我們身上傳開。願榮耀歸於我們的主耶穌。阿們。
【釋經亮點】
耶穌頒下的大使命,往往被理解為「傳福音」,但經文實際的焦點,並非單是傳講,而是:「使萬民作我的門徒。」「作門徒」原文是一個命令式動詞,意思是使人成為學習者、跟隨者。耶穌的吩咐,不只是叫人決志,而是邀請人進入一種持續跟隨的生命。
那怎樣作主的門徒呢?耶穌清楚地交待怎樣作主門徒,第一、身份的轉變:奉父、子、聖靈的名給他們施洗,歸入主的名下;第二、生命的塑造:凡耶穌所吩咐的,我們都教訓他們遵守。所以,作主門徒,我們不只是作聽道的人,更要活出主教導的人。這樣我們的生命才能成長。
反思:我是否只停留在相信復活,還是願意回應主的差遣,活出作門徒的生命?
禱告:復活的主耶穌,感謝祢得勝死亡,使我們有新的盼望。求祢幫助我不只停留在相信祢復活的事實,而是願意回應祢的差遣,活出門徒的生命。當我感到疑惑或軟弱時,求祢提醒我,祢應許與我同在,直到世界的末了。奉主名求,阿們。
