| 敬畏神的重要 III
九.亞拿尼亞欺哄聖靈
有一個人、名叫亞拿尼亞、同他的妻子撒非喇、賣了田產。把價銀私自留下幾分、他的妻子也知道、其餘的幾分、拿來放在使徒𥴠前。Now
a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, also sold a piece
of property.With his wife's full knowledge he kept back part of the money
for himself, but brought the rest and put it at the apostles' feet.
彼得說、亞拿尼亞為甚麼撒但充滿了你的心、叫你欺哄聖靈、把田地的價銀私自留下幾分呢．田地還沒有賣、不是你自己的麼．既賣了、價銀不是你作主麼．
Then Peter said, "Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your
heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself
some of the money you received for the land? Didn't it belong to you before
it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn't the money at your disposal?
你怎麼心裏起這意念呢．你不是欺哄人、是欺哄 神了。亞拿尼亞聽見這話、就仆倒斷了氣．聽見的人都甚懼怕。 (徒 5:1-5) What made
you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied to men but to God."When
Ananias heard this, he fell down and died. And great fear seized all who
heard what had happened. (Ac. 5:1-5)
人只看見眼前的贊賞，而不知神在天上正看著我們的一切行為與心思意念，神要我們甘心樂意獻上我們最好，就算是兩個小銅錢，神不要我們欺世盜名
1.欺哄聖靈 ，以為神不知道我們的心思意念
2.為要名聲，人奉獻你也奉獻，只為要得人的稱讚
3.心中沒有神，而不知應敬畏神，眼中看人不知有神
十.十架旁的強盜
當時、有兩個強盜、和他同釘十字架、一個在右邊一個在左邊。那和他同釘的強盜、也是這樣的譏誚他。 (太
27:38,44) Two robbers were crucified with him, one on his right and one
on his left. In the same way the robbers who were crucified with him also
heaped insults on him.( Matt. 27:38,44)
那同釘的兩個犯人、有一個譏誚他說、你不是基督麼．可以救自己和我們罷。那一個就應聲責備他說、你既是一樣受刑的、還不怕 神麼。我們是應該的、因我們所受的、與我們所作的相稱．但這個人沒有作過一件不好的事。(路
23:39-41) One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him: "Aren't
you the Christ? Save yourself and us!"But the other criminal rebuked
him. "Don't you fear God," he said, "since you are under
the same sentence?We are punished justly, for we are getting what our
deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.“ (Lk. 23:39-41)
把錯誤推在別人身上，並總覺得人欠他，要人幫這個做那個，若可以救你自己也救我們，既然你是神的兒子，應該沒問題，只要你願意就一定可以做到，神阿
! 暫時一邊做做，若可脫離這十架，我就知你是神的兒子，但先決條件是我得到了好處
1.犯罪的人居然不怕 神
2.人定勝天，一個自高自大的人，不視神的全能
3.對罪不悔改，對罪不痛恨，對罪沒感覺
4.總想把錯誤推在別人身上，並總覺得人欠他
十一. 以利沙的受辱
以利沙從那裏上伯特利去•正上去的時候、有些童子從城裏出來、戲笑他、說、禿頭的上去罷、禿頭的上去罷。他回頭看見就奉耶和華的名咒詛他們。於是有兩個母熊從林中出來、撕裂他們中間四十二個童子。
(王下 2:23-24) From there Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking along
the road, some youths came out of the town and jeered at him. "Go
on up, you baldhead!" they said. "Go on up, you baldhead!"He
turned around, looked at them and called down a curse on them in the name
of the LORD. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two
of the youths. (2 Ki. 2:23-24)
以利沙被戲笑為禿頭的這事，並不是不真實的事，但真實的事卻也不容任何人的批評，整體而言，上帝做這件事似乎非常過分，為了小孩子的一句話，就殺死四十二個童子
，神的審判似乎非常不公平，一點同情心也沒有
1.禿頭的這事是真實的事 (傳道人的短處或不足)
2.真實的事卻也不容許人的批評 (論斷)
3.神的審判似乎非常不公平
4.神在教導人對人的僕人的敬畏，因為神的僕人代表了神
5.神用你所有，不是你所沒有，他已獻上他所有，而你沒有
十二.以利尊重兒子勝過神
童子撒母耳在以利面前事奉耶和華。當那些日子、耶和華的言語稀少、不常有默示。 (撒上 3:1) The
boy Samuel ministered before the LORD under Eli. In those days the word
of the LORD was rare; there were not many visions. (Sa. 3:1)
我指凓以利家所說的話、到了時候我必始終應驗在以利身上。 我曾告訴他必永遠降罰與他的家、因他知道兒子作孽、自招咒詛、卻不禁止他們。所以我向以利家起誓說、以利家的罪孽、雖獻祭奉禮物、永不能得贖去。
(撒上 3:12-14) I will carry out against Eli everything I spoke against his
family--from beginning to end.For I told him that I would judge his family
forever because of the sin he knew about; his sons made themselves contemptible,
and he failed to restrain them.Therefore, I swore to the house of Eli,
`The guilt of Eli's house will never be atoned for by sacrifice or offering.'(I
Sa. 3:12-14)
以利的兩個兒子是惡人、不認識耶和華。這二祭司待百姓是這樣的規。凡有人獻祭、正煮肉的時候、祭司的僕人就來、手拿三齒的叉子、將叉子往罐裏、或鼎裏、或釜裏、或鍋裏一插、插上來的肉、祭司都取了去•Eli's
sons were wicked men; they had no regard for the LORD.Now it was the practice
of the priests with the people that whenever anyone offered a sacrifice
and while the meat was being boiled, the servant of the priest would come
with a three-pronged fork in his hand.He would plunge it into the pan
or kettle or caldron or pot, and the priest would take for himself whatever
the fork brought up.
凡上到示羅的以色列人、他們都是這樣看待。又在未燒脂油以前、祭司的僕人就來對獻祭的人說、將肉給祭司叫他烤罷•他不要煮過的、要生的。如此、這二少年人的罪在耶和華面前甚重了、因為他們藐視耶和華的祭物。
(撒上 2:12-17) This is how they treated all the Israelites who came to Shiloh.
But even before the fat was burned, the servant of the priest would come
and say to the man who was sacrificing, "Give the priest some meat
to roast; he won't accept boiled meat from you, but only raw."If
the man said to him, "Let the fat be burned up first, and then take
whatever you want," the servant would then answer, "No, hand
it over now; if you don't, I'll take it by force."This sin of the
young men was very great in the LORD's sight, for they were treating the
LORD's offering with contempt. (I Sa. 2:12-17)
我兒阿、不可這樣、我聽見你們的風聲不好、你們使耶和華的百姓犯了罪。人若得罪人、有士師審判他、人若得罪耶和華、誰能為他祈求呢•然而他們還是不聽父親的話、因為耶和華想要殺他們。
(撒上 2:24-25) No, my sons; it is not a good report that I hear spreading
among the LORD's people.If a man sins against another man, God may mediate
for him; but if a man sins against the LORD, who will intercede for him?"
His sons, however, did not listen to their father's rebuke, for it was
the LORD's will to put them to death. (I Sa. 2:24-25)
我所吩咐獻在我居所的祭物、你們為何踐踏、尊重你的兒子過於尊重我、將我民以色列所獻美好的祭物肥己呢。 (撒上 2:29) Why do you
scorn my sacrifice and offering that I prescribed for my dwelling? Why
do you honor your sons more than me by fattening yourselves on the choice
parts of every offering made by my people Israel?' (I Sa. 2:29)
日子必到、我要折斷你的膀臂、和你父家的膀臂、使你家中沒有一個老年人。在 神使以色列人享福的時候、你必看見我居所的敗落•The time is
coming when I will cut short your strength and the strength of your father's
house, so that there will not be an old man in your family lineand you
will see distress in my dwelling. Although good will be done to Israel,
in your family line there will never be an old man.
在你家中必永遠沒有一個老年人。我必不從我壇前滅盡你家中的人。那未滅的必使你眼目乾癟、心中憂傷。你家中所生的人都必死在中年。 (撒上 2:31-33)
Every one of you that I do not cut off from my altar will be spared only
to blind your eyes with tears and to grieve your heart, and all your descendants
will die in the prime of life. (I Sa. 2:31-33)
1.耶和華的言語稀少、不常有默示
2.因他知道兒子作孽、自招咒詛、卻不禁止他們
3.以利家的罪孽、雖獻祭奉禮物、永不能得贖去
4.他們藐視耶和華的祭物
5.人若得罪人、有士師審判他、人若得罪耶和華、誰能為他祈求呢•
6.然而他們還是不聽父親的話
7.獻在我居所的祭物、為何踐踏、尊重你的兒子過於尊重我
8.將所獻美好的祭物肥己呢
9.我要折斷你的膀臂、和你父家的膀臂、使你家中沒有一個老年人

11.那未滅的必使你眼目乾癟、心中憂傷你家中所生的人都必死在中年。
