《路加福音》Day33

《光榮的進城》

28 耶穌說完了這話,就在前面走,上耶路撒冷去。 29 將近伯法其和伯大尼,在一座山名叫橄欖山那裏,就打發兩個門徒,說: 30 「你們往對面村子裏去,進去的時候,必看見一匹驢駒拴在那裏,是從來沒有人騎過的,可以解開牽來。 31 若有人問為甚麼解牠,你們就說:『主要用牠。』」 32 打發的人去了,所遇見的正如耶穌所說的。 33 他們解驢駒的時候,主人問他們說:「解驢駒做甚麼?」 34 他們說:「主要用牠。」 35 他們牽到耶穌那裏,把自己的衣服搭在上面,扶著耶穌騎上。 36 走的時候,眾人把衣服鋪在路上。 37 將近耶路撒冷,正下橄欖山的時候,眾門徒因所見過的一切異能,都歡樂起來,大聲讚美神, 38 說:奉主名來的王是應當稱頌的!在天上有和平;在至高之處有榮光。 39 眾人中有幾個法利賽人對耶穌說:「夫子,責備祢的門徒吧!」 40 耶穌說:「我告訴你們,若是他們閉口不說,這些石頭必要呼叫起來。」

41 耶穌快到耶路撒冷,看見城,就為它哀哭, 42 說:「巴不得你在這日子知道關係你平安的事;無奈這事現在是隱藏的,叫你的眼看不出來。 43 因為日子將到,你的仇敵必築起土壘,周圍環繞你,四面困住你, 44 並要掃滅你和你裏頭的兒女,連一塊石頭也不留在石頭上,因你不知道眷顧你的時候。」

45 耶穌進了殿,趕出裏頭做買賣的人, 46 對他們說:「經上說:我的殿必作禱告的殿,你們倒使它成為賊窩了。」 47 耶穌天天在殿裏教訓人。祭司長和文士與百姓的尊長都想要殺祂, 48 但尋不出法子來,因為百姓都側耳聽祂。 (路加福音十九28-48)

28 After Jesus had said this, He went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem. 29 As He approached Bethphage and Bethany at the hill called the Mount of Olives, He sent two of his disciples, saying to them, 30 “Go to the village ahead of you, and as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here. 31 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ say, ‘The Lord needs it.’” 32 Those who were sent ahead went and found it just as he had told them. 33 As they were untying the colt, its owners asked them, “Why are you untying the colt?” 34 They replied, “The Lord needs it.” 35 They brought it to Jesus, threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on it. 36 As He went along, people spread their cloaks on the road. 37 When He came near the place where the road goes down the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen: 38 “Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!”“Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!” 39 Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples!” 40 “I tell you,” He replied, “if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.”

41 As He approached Jerusalem and saw the city, He wept over it 42 and said, “If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace—but now it is hidden from your eyes. 43 The days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment against you and encircle you and hem you in on every side. 44 They will dash you to the ground, you and the children within your walls. They will not leave one stone on another, because you did not recognize the time of God’s coming to you.”

45 When Jesus entered the temple courts, He began to drive out those who were selling. 46 “It is written,” He said to them, “‘My house will be a house of prayer’; but you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’” 47 Every day He was teaching at the temple. But the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the leaders among the people were trying to kill Him. 48 Yet they could not find any way to do it, because all the people hung on His words. (Luke19:28-48)

分享【光榮背後的真相】

當耶穌騎著驢駒進入耶路撒冷,群眾歡呼、讚美,高聲說:「奉主名來的王,是應當稱頌的!」這是一個看似光榮、充滿榮耀的場面。但在這歡呼之中,卻出現了一個不一樣的聲音 —— 法利賽人要求耶穌制止門徒。與此同時,耶穌望著耶路撒冷,竟然為這城哀哭。耶穌知道,這些歡呼的人未必真正明白祂;這座城亦未認出那帶來平安的主。因此,祂說:「巴不得你在這日子,知道關係你平安的事!」

經文揭示了一個事實:人可以很接近耶穌,甚至可以讚美祂,卻仍然不認識祂,甚至不願接受祂。這一刻,讓我們反思:我們對耶穌的回應,是真實認識,還是純粹是表面的熱情呢?

【釋經亮點】

在《路加福音十九30》法利賽人對耶穌說:「命令你的門徒安靜吧!」這節經文在其他福音書中並沒有記載,他們看見群眾高聲讚美耶穌,卻不是被吸引,而是想要壓止這一切。這不只是反感,而是顯示他們一直以來對耶穌的抗拒 —— 不是因為看不見,而是不願接受。然而,耶穌的回應非常強烈:「我告訴你們,若是他們閉口不說,石頭必要呼叫起來。」

這句話指出一個核心:「這位王的來臨,是不能被壓止的。」 但同時,亦揭露問題的核心:人不是無知,而是心硬。所以,耶穌為此城哀哭,正因為他們拒絕了神所賜的機會,令他們看不見那關乎平安的事。

反思:我對耶穌的回應,是出於真正認識祂,還是只是一時的情緒和熱鬧?

禱告:為眾人哀哭的主耶穌,當祢進入耶路撒冷,人群歡呼,但祢卻為人心的盲目而哀哭。求祢光照我,讓我不只是表面地接近祢,而是真正認識祢、接受祢。不要讓我在熱鬧中失去真實,也不要讓我在熟悉中變得心硬。求主賜下聖靈幫助我,使我能看見祢、回應祢,並跟隨祢。奉主名求,阿們。
