馬太福音21章12-17節
神的小僕人
經文:
12 耶穌進了神的殿,趕出殿裡一切做買賣的人,推倒兌換銀錢之人的桌子,和賣鴿子之人的凳子;
13 對他們說:經上記著說:我的殿必稱為禱告的殿,你們倒使他成為賊窩了。
14 在殿裡有瞎子瘸子,到耶穌跟前,他就治好了他們。
15 祭司長和文士,看見耶穌所行的奇事,又見小孩子在殿裡喊著說:和散那歸於大衛的子孫,就甚惱怒,
16 對他說:這些人所說的,你聽見了嗎?耶穌說:是的,經上說:『你從嬰孩和吃奶的口中,完全了讚美的話。』你們沒有念過嗎?
17 於是離開他們,出城到伯大尼去,在那裡住宿。
耶穌進到耶路撒冷,首先就是潔淨聖殿,把在聖殿裏面作買賣的都趕出去,並宣告聖殿是萬國禱告的殿,必須分別出來,成為聖潔。之後主耶穌醫治那些瞎眼和瘸腿的,可惜的是宗教領袖卻嫉妬耶穌的良善和大能。
這段經文對今天的信徒仍是一個重要的信息,叫我們反省敬拜的態度、生活的態度。主耶穌要潔淨我們的內心、行為和我們敬拜的態度,醫治我們一切的惡行,這也正是祂上十架的原因,祂勝過了罪和死亡,帶來了終極的救贖。
禱告:
天父,願祢潔淨我,洗清我內外一切的罪惡與過犯。願祢潔淨教會,成為萬國禱告的殿。奉耶穌基督的聖名禱告,阿們。
Matthew 21:12-17
Jesus entered Jerusalem during His last week and He cleansed the temple, sending away all those who did business for gains. He also proclaimed that the temple to be set apart as the place of prayers and worship. He then healed the blind and the lame. Unfortunately the religious were jealous of His good deeds.
This inspires us to reflect in our attitude of worship. Do we see worship as a holy service? What about our living and deeds? Jesus wants to cleanse our hearts, our deeds and our evil mindset, and His healing was completed on His cross of redemption that He was about to take.
Lord, cleanse me, my evil deeds and mind.
