《馬可福音》Day05
《信心的再思》
21 耶穌又對他們說：「人拿燈來，豈是要放在斗底下，牀底下，不放在燈臺上嗎？ 22 因為掩藏的事，沒有不顯出來的；隱瞞的事，沒有不露出來的。 23 有耳可聽的，就應當聽！」 24 又說：「你們所聽的要留心。你們用甚麼量器量給人，也必用甚麼量器量給你們，並且要多給你們。 25 因為有的，還要給他；沒有的，連他所有的也要奪去。」26 又說：「神的國如同人把種撒在地上。 27 黑夜睡覺，白日起來，這種就發芽漸長，那人卻不曉得如何這樣。 28 地生五穀是出於自然的：先發苗，後長穗，再後穗上結成飽滿的子粒； 29 穀既熟了，就用鐮刀去割，因為收成的時候到了。」30 又說：「神的國，我們可用甚麼比較呢？可用甚麼比喻表明呢？ 31 好像一粒芥菜種，種在地裏的時候，雖比地上的百種都小， 32 但種上以後，就長起來，比各樣的菜都大，又長出大枝來，甚至天上的飛鳥可以宿在它的蔭下。」33 耶穌用許多這樣的比喻，照他們所能聽的，對他們講道。 34 若不用比喻，就不對他們講；沒有人的時候，就把一切的道講給門徒聽。
35 當那天晚上，耶穌對門徒說：「我們渡到那邊去吧。」 36 門徒離開眾人，耶穌仍在船上，他們就把祂一同帶去；也有別的船和祂同行。 37 忽然起了暴風，波浪打入船內，甚至船要滿了水。 38 耶穌在船尾上，枕着枕頭睡覺。門徒叫醒了祂，說：「夫子！我們喪命，祢不顧嗎？」 39 耶穌醒了，斥責風，向海說：「住了吧！靜了吧！」風就止住，大大地平靜了。 40 耶穌對他們說：「為甚麼膽怯？你們還沒有信心嗎？」 41 他們就大大地懼怕，彼此說：「這到底是誰，連風和海也聽從祂了。」 (馬可福音四21-41)
21 He said to them, “Do you bring in a lamp to put it under a bowl or a bed? Instead, don’t you put it on its stand? 22 For whatever is hidden is meant to be disclosed, and whatever is concealed is meant to be brought out into the open. 23 If anyone has ears to hear, let them hear.” 24 “Consider carefully what you hear,” He continued. “With the measure you use, it will be measured to you — and even more. 25 Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them.” 26 He also said, “This is what the kingdom of God is like. A man scatters seed on the ground. 27 Night and day, whether he sleeps or gets up, the seed sprouts and grows, though he does not know how. 28 All by itself the soil produces grain — first the stalk, then the head, then the full kernel in the head. 29 As soon as the grain is ripe, he puts the sickle to it, because the harvest has come.” 30 Again He said, “What shall we say the kingdom of God is like, or what parable shall we use to describe it? 31 It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds on earth. 32 Yet when planted, it grows and becomes the largest of all garden plants, with such big branches that the birds can perch in its shade.” 33 With many similar parables Jesus spoke the word to them, as much as they could understand. 34 He did not say anything to them without using a parable. But when He was alone with His own disciples, He explained everything.
35 That day when evening came, He said to His disciples, “Let us go over to the other side.” 36 Leaving the crowd behind, they took Him along, just as He was, in the boat. There were also other boats with Him. 37 A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped. 38 Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke Him and said to Him, “Teacher, don’t You care if we drown?” 39 He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down and it was completely calm. 40 He said to His disciples, “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?” 41 They were terrified and asked each other, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey Him!” (Mark4:21-41)

分享【聽見之後，是否真正信靠？】
在撒種的比喻之後，耶穌繼續教導門徒。祂說，燈不是放在斗底下，而是放在燈臺上；又提醒他們要留心所聽的，因為「用甚麼量器量給人，也必用甚麼量器量給你們。」神的話不是為了隱藏，而是為了顯明。問題在於，人是否願意承載那光。
接着，耶穌用種子生長與芥菜種的比喻，說明神國的成長往往悄然無聲，卻有生命力。人無法催促，只能信靠。然而，真正的考驗在湖上的風浪。門徒看見神蹟、聽過比喻，卻在風暴中驚慌失措。耶穌平靜風浪後問他們：「為甚麼膽怯？你們還沒有信心嗎？」
這段經文讓人反思：信心不只是在平靜中聽道，更是在風浪中依靠。神的話若真成為光，就應照亮恐懼之處。門徒的問題不是沒有看見神蹟，而是尚未把所聽的，轉化為對主的全然信靠。
【釋經亮點】
有沒有想過，為什麼耶穌會選擇用燈臺、量器、種子生長等日常物件作比喻？因為祂要把天國的真理放進生活場景，讓人「聽得見、看得見、想得明」。耶穌從來希望人明白福音，但祂也知道，人若只是聽見，卻不願回應，明白便停留在表面。
因此，祂使用生活中的圖像，不只是降低理解門檻，而是把真理帶進人的日常。燈臺提醒人，光既存在，就必須被擺上；量器提醒人，你用怎樣的態度領受，就會得着多少；種子生長提醒人，神國的工作需要時間與信靠。
這些比喻的力量，在於它們不是抽象理論，而是可以被看見、被觸摸、被經驗的畫面。當人回到家中，看見燈、量穀物、在田裡耕作時，耶穌的話便再次浮現。天國不只是會堂裡的教導，而是滲透在生活的每一個角落。耶穌不是要隱藏福音，而是讓福音貼近人心。問題從來不是天國難以理解，而是人是否願意讓它進入生命。當我們把日常視為屬靈的場景，便會發現——天國早已在平凡之中悄然生長。
反思：你是否把所聽見的真理，實踐在恐懼之中？當風浪來臨時，你是否仍相信主與你同在？主耶穌是否正邀請你，從「聽見」走向「信靠」？
禱告：主耶穌，求祢幫助我，不只在平靜時聽見祢的話，更在風浪中信靠祢的同在。當恐懼湧上心頭時，提醒我祢仍掌權。願祢的話成為我生命的光，使我在每一次試驗中更深認識祢。以上禱告，奉主耶穌的名求，阿們。
