《路加福音》Day09

《顛覆的價值》

有一個安息日,耶穌從麥地經過。祂的門徒掐了麥穗,用手搓著吃。 2 有幾個法利賽人說:「你們為甚麼做安息日不可做的事呢?」 耶穌對他們說:「經上記著大衛和跟從他的人飢餓之時所做的事,連這個你們也沒有念過嗎? 4 他怎麼進了神的殿,拿陳設餅吃,又給跟從的人吃?這餅除了祭司以外,別人都不可吃。」 5 又對他們說:「人子是安息日的主。」

又有一個安息日,耶穌進了會堂教訓人,在那裏有一個人右手枯乾了。 7 文士和法利賽人窺探耶穌,在安息日治病不治病,要得把柄去告祂。 8 耶穌卻知道他們的意念,就對那枯乾一隻手的人說:「起來!站在當中。」那人就起來,站著。 耶穌對他們說:「我問你們,在安息日行善行惡,救命害命,哪樣是可以的呢?」 10 祂就周圍看著他們眾人,對那人說:「伸出手來!」他把手一伸,手就復了原。 11 他們就滿心大怒,彼此商議怎樣處治耶穌。 12 那時,耶穌出去,上山禱告,整夜禱告神; 13 到了天亮,叫祂的門徒來,就從他們中間挑選十二個人,稱他們為使徒。 14 這十二個人有西門(耶穌又給他起名叫彼得),還有他兄弟安得烈,又有雅各和約翰,腓力和巴多羅買, 15 馬太和多馬,亞勒腓的兒子雅各和奮銳黨的西門, 16 雅各的兒子猶大,和賣主的加略人猶大。

17 耶穌和他們下了山,站在一塊平地上;同站的有許多門徒,又有許多百姓,從猶太全地和耶路撒冷,並泰爾、西頓的海邊來,都要聽祂講道,又指望醫治他們的病; 18 還有被污鬼纏磨的,也得了醫治。 19 眾人都想要摸祂;因為有能力從祂身上發出來,醫好了他們。 20 耶穌舉目看著門徒,說:你們貧窮的人有福了!因為神的國是你們的。 21 你們飢餓的人有福了!因為你們將要飽足。你們哀哭的人有福了!因為你們將要喜笑。 22 「人為人子恨惡你們,拒絕你們,辱罵你們,棄掉你們的名,以為是惡,你們就有福了! 23 當那日,你們要歡喜跳躍,因為你們在天上的賞賜是大的。他們的祖宗待先知也是這樣。 24 但你們富足的人有禍了!因為你們受過你們的安慰。 25 你們飽足的人有禍了!因為你們將要飢餓。你們喜笑的人有禍了!因為你們將要哀慟哭泣。
 26 「人都說你們好的時候,你們就有禍了!因為他們的祖宗待假先知也是這樣。」(路加福音六1-26)

1 One Sabbath Jesus was going through the grainfields, and His disciples began to pick some heads of grain, rub them in their hands and eat the kernels. 2 Some of the Pharisees asked, “Why are You doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?” 3 Jesus answered them, “Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry? 4 He entered the house of God, and taking the consecrated bread, he ate what is lawful only for priests to eat. And he also gave some to his companions.” 5 Then Jesus said to them, “The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”

6 On another Sabbath He went into the synagogue and was teaching, and a man was there whose right hand was shriveled. 7 The Pharisees and the teachers of the law were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, so they watched Him closely to see if He would heal on the Sabbath. 8 But Jesus knew what they were thinking and said to the man with the shriveled hand, “Get up and stand in front of everyone.” So he got up and stood there. 9 Then Jesus said to them, “I ask you, which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it?” 10 He looked around at them all, and then said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He did so, and his hand was completely restored. 11 But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law were furious and began to discuss with one another what they might do to Jesus. 12 One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and spent the night praying to God. 13 When morning came, He called His disciples to Him and chose twelve of them, whom He also designated apostles: 14 Simon (whom he named Peter), his brother Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew, 15 Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Simon who was called the Zealot, 16 Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.

17 He went down with them and stood on a level place. A large crowd of His disciples was there and a great number of people from all over Judea, from Jerusalem, and from the coastal region around Tyre and Sidon, 18 who had come to hear Him and to be healed of their diseases. Those troubled by impure spirits were cured, 19 and the people all tried to touch Him, because power was coming from Him and healing them all. 20 Looking at His disciples, He said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. 21 Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be satisfied.Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh. 22 Blessed are you when people hate you, when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil, because of the Son of Man. 23 “Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven. For that is how their ancestors treated the prophets. 24 “But woe to you who are rich, for you have already received your comfort. 25 Woe to you who are well fed now, for you will go hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep. 26 Woe to you when everyone speaks well of you, for that is how their ancestors treated the false prophets. (Luke6:1-26)

分享【耶穌重新定義天國的價值】

當耶穌和門徒在安息日經過麥田時,門徒摘麥穗吃,法利賽人便指責他們不守安息日。耶穌回應說:「人子是安息日的主」,並在安息日醫治了一個枯乾手的人。

隨後,耶穌上山整夜禱告,揀選十二使徒。在祂所揀選的人中,並不是當時最有學識、最有地位的人,反而多是平凡,甚至被人看低的人。這樣的揀選顯明,神的揀選並非按人的標準,而是出於祂自己的心意。


接著,耶穌向門徒宣告一連串「有福」與「有禍」的教導:貧窮的、飢餓的、哀哭的、被拒絕的有福;富足的、飽足的、歡笑的、被稱讚的有禍。這段經文呈現出一個與世人截然不同的價值觀。

在人的眼中,富足是好、滿足是好、被肯定是好;但在神的國裡,那些看似缺乏的人,反而更依靠神,也更蒙祝福。耶穌正在重新定義什麼才是真正的「好」。只是,人若堅持自己的標準,最終可能把「福」活成「禍」。

釋經亮點】

在安息日的爭議中,法利賽人指責門徒觸犯了不可收割的條例。這源於神在十誡中吩咐以色列人要守安息日。然而,這裡的問題不只是關於規條,而是「誰有權定義什麼是對」。

當耶穌宣告:「人子是安息日的主」時,祂不只是解釋安息日的意義,更是在表明祂擁有最終的權柄。「安息日」原是神所設立,為要使人得安息、得恢復,並專心敬拜祂;但人卻按自己的理解,把它變成一套衡量對錯的標準。當人拘泥於外在規條,卻忽略神的心意時,即使看似正確的事,也可能偏離神的旨意。

因此,耶穌在安息日醫治人,不是破壞律法,而是顯明律法真正的目的 —— 使人得生命。

今天,我們也可能犯同樣的錯誤:用自己的標準判斷對錯,用習慣代替尋求神,用外在表現衡量屬靈。有時,我們以為自己守住了規條,卻未必行在神的心意中。所以,問題不在於人如何守安息日,而在於人是否藉此親近神、尊崇神,並真實地跟隨祂。

反思:當神的標準與我們不同時,我們是否願意被調整?你會順服,還是仍然堅持自己?

禱告:安息日的主耶穌,求祢光照我的內心,不讓我只停留在外在的遵守,卻失去祢的心意。教我在每一個選擇中,學習按祢的標準而行,讓祢真正作主。奉主名求,阿們。
