約翰福音19章31-42節
神的小僕人
經文:
31 猶太人因這日是預備日,又因那安息日是個大日,
32 於是兵丁來了,把頭一個人的腿,
33 只是來到耶穌那裡,見他已經死了,就不打斷他的腿。
34 惟有一個兵拿槍扎他的肋旁,隨即有血和水流出來。
35 看見這事的那人就作見證,他的見證也是真的,
36 這些事成了,為要應驗經上的話說:
37 經上又有一句說:『他們要仰望自己所扎的人。』
38 這些事以後,有亞利馬太人約瑟,是耶穌的門徒,
39 又有尼哥底母,就是先前夜裡去見耶穌的,帶著沒藥,
40 他們就照猶太人殯葬的規矩,
41 在耶穌釘十字架的地方,有一個園子,
42 只因是猶太人的預備日,又因那墳墓近,
使徒約翰在這段經文中更仔細的陳述耶穌的死亡, 關於耶穌基督的安葬,約翰更加上尼哥底母的故事。 禱告:
主耶穌,哈利路亞,祢已復活了,已升上了天,今天是復活節,
John 19:31-42 John detailed how Jesus died. The soldiers wanted to break His bone so that He died earlier before the festival day. Yet when they came to Jesus, He was already dead and there was no need to break His bone, which fulfilled the prophecy of the Old Testament “not a bone of Him shall be broken”. John also narrated details of the burial of Jesus. Not only Joseph who requested the body of Christ was mentioned, but Nicodemus who offered a hundred pound of myrrh and aloes was recorded. Who would offer a new grave and expensive burial spices for a dead criminal? To Joseph and Nicodemus, Jesus was their Lord though He was crucified on the cross. Today our Lord has risen and is in heaven, though we can’t see Him, do we still revere Him and love Him dearly? |
