[img:seated inside] 马太福音 28:18-20 "耶稣进前来,对他们说:'天上地下所有的权柄都赐给我了。所以,你们要去,使万民作我的门徒,奉父、子、圣灵的名给他们施洗。凡我所吩咐你们的,都教训他们遵守,我就常与你们同在,直到世界的末了。'"
我一直很喜欢读圣经里的红字(基督说过的话)。我喜欢耶稣说话时所展现的刚强却又温柔的本性。当我读到今天的经文时,我不禁在心里说,这些话只能由那位拥有终极权能和完全慈爱的主说出。难怪那些企图逮捕耶稣的士兵空手而归,找借口说:"从来没有像他这样说话的!"(约翰福音 7:46)当时士兵来抓耶稣时,主肯定就是以这样的方式对他们说话的。
耶稣是好牧人。唯有祂拥有足够的权能拯救我们,也唯有祂愿意为我们舍命。
祂被赐予天上地下所有的权柄;祂吩咐海水,海水就顺服祂,祂斥责污鬼和疾病,它们就逃离祂,祂甚至可以吩咐鱼儿为祂取钱,吩咐水变成酒,吩咐饼增生成千万个。耶稣是全能的神(启示录 1:8,启示录 22:13),但拥有这一切权能的祂,从未用来伤害或支配任何人。相反,祂巧妙地运用这些权能来爱我们、引导我们、教导我们、辅导我们、安慰我们。祂给了我们一条诫命,要彼此相爱,但祂不是用威胁来恐吓我们,而是不断提醒我们"我就常与你们同在,直到世界的末了"来鼓励我们。宇宙中最有权能的那一位与我们同在,爱着我们——永远如此。我只能说,太奇妙了! 愿大家在耶稣基督的名里度过蒙福的一周!
