《約翰福音》Day17
《為何不肯信？》
22 在耶路撒冷有修殿節，是冬天的時候。 23 耶穌在殿裏所羅門的廊下行走。 24 猶太人圍着祂，說：「你叫我們猶疑不定到幾時呢？祢若是基督，就明明地告訴我們。」 25 耶穌回答說：「我已經告訴你們，你們不信。我奉我父之名所行的事可以為我作見證； 26 只是你們不信，因為你們不是我的羊。 27 我的羊聽我的聲音，我也認識他們，他們也跟着我。 28 我又賜給他們永生；他們永不滅亡，誰也不能從我手裏把他們奪去。 29 我父把羊賜給我，祂比萬有都大，誰也不能從我父手裏把他們奪去。 30 我與父原為一。」
31 猶太人又拿起石頭來要打祂。 32 耶穌對他們說：「我從父顯出許多善事給你們看，你們是為哪一件拿石頭打我呢？」 33 猶太人回答說：「我們不是為善事拿石頭打祢，是為祢說僭妄的話；又為祢是個人，反將自己當作神。」 34 耶穌說：「你們的律法上豈不是寫着『我曾說你們是神』嗎？ 35 經上的話是不能廢的；若那些承受神道的人尚且稱為神， 36 父所分別為聖、又差到世間來的，祂自稱是神的兒子，你們還向祂說『祢說僭妄的話』嗎？ 37 我若不行我父的事，你們就不必信我； 38 我若行了，你們縱然不信我，也當信這些事，叫你們又知道又明白父在我裏面，我也在父裏面。」 39 他們又要拿祂，祂卻逃出他們的手走了。 40 耶穌又往約旦河外去，到了約翰起初施洗的地方，就住在那裏。 41 有許多人來到祂那裏。他們說：「約翰一件神蹟沒有行過，但約翰指着這人所說的一切話都是真的。」 42 在那裏，信耶穌的人就多了。(約翰福音十22-42)
22 Then came the Festival of Dedication at Jerusalem. It was winter, 23 and Jesus was in the temple courts walking in Solomon’s Colonnade. 24 The Jews who were there gathered around Him, saying, “How long will You keep us in suspense? If You are the Messiah, tell us plainly.” 25 Jesus answered, “I did tell you, but you do not believe. The works I do in my Father’s name testify about me, 26 but you do not believe because you are not my sheep. 27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. 28 I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. 30 I and the Father are one.”
31 Again His Jewish opponents picked up stones to stone Him, 32 but Jesus said to them, “I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?” 33 “We are not stoning You for any good work,” they replied, “but for blasphemy, because You, a mere man, claim to be God.” 34 Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your Law, ‘I have said you are “gods” ’? 35 If he called them ‘gods,’ to whom the word of God came — and Scripture cannot be set aside — 36 what about the one whom the Father set apart as His very own and sent into the world? Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, ‘I am God’s Son’? 37 Do not believe me unless I do the works of my Father. 38 But if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.” 39 Again they tried to seize Him, but He escaped their grasp. 40 Then Jesus went back across the Jordan to the place where John had been baptizing in the early days. There He stayed, 41 and many people came to Him. They said, “Though John never performed a sign, all that John said about this man was true.” 42 And in that place many believed in Jesus. (John 10:22-42)

分享【總是不相信】
在修殿節期間，耶穌在聖殿裡行走，有人圍著祂問：「你叫我們猶疑不定到幾時呢？你若是基督，就明明地告訴我們。」(v.24) 看似是在尋求答案，其實背後帶著質疑與試探。耶穌回應說，祂早已告訴他們，只是他們不信；祂所行的事也為祂作見證 (v.25) 。問題不是資訊不足，而是心的拒絕。
承接昨天的經文，耶穌再次指出：「你們不信，因為你們不是我的羊。」(v.26) 祂的羊聽祂的聲音，祂也認識他們，他們也跟隨祂 (v.27) 。原來，信與不信，不只是理性判斷，更是關係的問題 —— 是否屬於祂，是否願意回應祂的聲音。
當耶穌宣告「我與父原為一」 (v.30) 時，他們不但沒有相信，反而拿起石頭要打祂。這顯示一個現實：真理越清楚，人心的反應越強烈。不是沒有證據，而是不願相信。今天，我們也可能要求更多證明，卻忽略已經給出的啟示。真正的問題不是「神有沒有說」，而是「我是否願意接受」。你為何不肯信？
【釋經亮點】
在《約翰福音十34-36》，耶穌引用詩篇：「我曾說你們是神」 (參詩篇八十二6），這對當時聽眾來說並不陌生。在《詩篇八十二》中，「神」並非指人本身是神，而是指那些承受神話語、代表神施行審判的人 (如以色列的審判官) ，他們在某種意義上代表神的權柄，因此被稱為「神」。又如《出埃及記七1》，神對摩西說：「我使你在法老面前代替神」，表明他是神權柄的代表。
耶穌的重點不是抬高人，而是作一個「由小到大」的論證：既然聖經 (他們承認不可廢的權威) 都可以用「神」這個稱呼指向人間代表神的人，那麼耶穌自己 —— 這位「父所分別為聖、差到世上來」的 —— 自稱為「神的兒子」，為何反而被視為僭妄？換句話說，耶穌不是降低自己的身份，而是指出他們的指控在邏輯上站不住腳。
這段話揭示一個關鍵：問題不在證據或聖經，而在人的心是否願意接受。人可以引用經文，卻拒絕經文所指向的主。當人用聖經來否定神，真正的問題不是理解，而是不願相信。
反思：我是否常要求更多證據，卻不願回應已知道的真理？我是否真的在聽主的聲音，還是選擇忽略？今天，我不信的原因，是因為不明白，還是不願意？
禱告：主耶穌，祢已經向我顯明自己，但我很多時仍然選擇懷疑與觀望。求祢光照我的心，讓我看見自己不願相信的地方。給我一顆柔軟的心，使我不再抗拒祢的聲音，而是願意回應祢的呼喚。也求祢堅固我的信心，讓我在不完全明白時，仍然選擇相信祢。願我不只是尋找答案，而是真正跟隨祢。以上禱告，奉主耶穌的名求，阿們。
