彌迦書七章18-20節
神的小僕人
經文:
18 神阿,有何神像你,赦免罪孽,饒恕你產業之餘民的罪過,不永遠懷怒,喜愛施恩。
19 必再憐憫我們,將我們的罪孽踏在腳下,又將我們的一切罪投於深海。
20 你必按古時起誓應許我們列祖的話,向雅各發誠實,向亞伯拉罕施慈愛。
在舊約時代,上帝建立以色列民,教導屬祂的兒女怎麼生活、怎麼敬拜,叫世人看見以色列民是被揀選蒙愛的。只是以色列人沒有聽從上帝活在神的旨意中,反而叛逆上帝,敬拜別神。先知彌迦宣告了以色列人的罪並上帝的心意,在結束的時候卻提到上帝無盡的恩典,祂把我們的罪孽踏在祂的腳下,投於深海,意思就是說上帝的恩典覆蓋了我們的罪,只要我們悔改,祂是完全的赦免。我們的神滿有恩典慈愛,祂的寬恕是完完全全的。
求主幫助我們,天天認罪悔改,靠主恩典也寬待原諒别人。
Micah 7:18-20
The purpose of establishing the nation of Israel is to show the world what God delights for His people. Yet the people rebelled and did not live according to the will of God. Prophet Micah recollected all the misdeeds of his people and age concluded with a message of grace and hope. God trod our sins underfoot and hurled our iniquities into the deep sea. He forgives us completely.
There are times we recall how people offend us and we are angry and tend to pay them back. Our God forgives us and it is full forgiveness that gives us a second chance. Thank You Father.
