读经内容:帖撒罗尼迦前书第4章
默想分享:
今天,我们的教会在亚洲文化节上有一个摊位,向当地的华裔介绍福音和我们的教会。传福音一直都不是一件容易的事情,每当我遇见一个华人的时候,我就会想要向他传福音。因为能够听到福音,就意味着可能会从魔鬼那里抢救一个人回来。所以,难得有这样的一个机会可以见到这么多的华人,我心里想的就是我要赶快去把福音给他,把我手里的单张给他。
有些人愿意多听,我们就多交流。有些人不愿意听,也礼貌的收下。还有的人,听也不听,就把单子退回给我,连一眼也不想多看。我心里很悲哀,却是为她悲哀,因为她拒绝的不是我,而是神。当神告诉该隐,要他制服在门口的罪时,他没有听从告诫。当神问他你兄弟在哪里的时候,他也说不知道。神整天伸手招呼那些悖逆的人,但是他们不听,也不悔改。他们不愿意来到神的面前,我为他们悲哀,是因为神使他们的心硬。
我们已经处在末日的景况当中,更要以传福音的事情为急迫的事情。主耶稣给门徒最后的嘱咐就是,“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。”
(马太福音 28:19-20 和合本) 我常常会觉得,我们这些在基督里得到拯救的人,是蒙了极大的恩典的,就好像是被赋予了千两银子的仆人,这属天的财宝已经托付给我们,我们若是没有去使用它,而是把它埋在了地里,那再见主面的时候,如何能够面对主呢?
保罗在帖撒罗尼加前书第四章中,讲了两件事,第一件事是要信徒们过圣洁的,神所悦纳的生活。他要我们成为圣洁,远避淫行,彼此相爱。而那些拒绝这么做的人,不是在拒绝人,而是拒绝赐圣灵的神。(4:8)不要放纵自己的私欲,而是要跟随主耶稣基督的命令,过神所悦纳的生活。
第二件事就是要知道主耶稣的再来对我们来说意味着什么。那些没有神的人,不愿意认识耶稣的人,最后的结局就是沉沦,是被丢入地狱中,在那里虫是不死的,火是不灭的。而相信耶稣的人,“主必亲自从天降临,有呼叫的声音和天使长的声音,又有 神的号吹响;那在基督里死了的人必先复活。以后我们这活着还存留的人必和他们一同被提到云里,在空中与主相遇。这样,我们就要和主永远同在。”(帖撒罗尼迦前书 4:16-17 和合本) 在主里已经睡了(死了)的人,必要先复活,然后还活着的人,就会被提到云中,在空中与主相遇。这就会成为我们的盼望和劝勉。
当我们想到这些拒绝耶稣的人的结局,或者没有听到福音的结局,我们就要更加迫切的去传福音,去为他们祷告。而我们也不会因这个世界的拒绝而心灰意冷,因为我知道我所信的是谁,我也知道我的盼望在哪里。
思考与应用:主耶稣的复活对于我们的今生有什么安慰和鼓励?
祷告:亲爱的主耶稣,我等候你的再来,也求你帮助我,使我的一生为你而活,阿们!(转发请注明TCAC, 谢谢!)
