讀經分享阿摩司書四章12-13 節 ( Amos 4:12-13 )

阿摩司書四章12-13節
神的小僕人
 
經文:
12 以色列阿,我必向你如此行,以色列阿,我既這樣行,你當預備迎見你的神。
13 那創山,造風,將心意指示人,使晨光變為幽暗,腳踏在地之高處的,他的名是耶和華萬軍之神。
 
在這一章阿摩司先知先把以色列人的罪陳明,並告訴他們上帝將如何審判他們,叫他們缺乏,為的是要他們回轉。最後,先知以提醒他們要預備迎見我們的神作結束。
 
我們每天都可以迎見我們的神,每天我們都必須面對神。心中的惡念,對神的不敬,對人的敵意或嫉妒,都當放下,才能手潔心清地去面對我們的神。故此,迎見神就是洗滌我們的心靈,面對自己的罪和不是,讓上帝再次指示我們當走的路。
 
若不是靠着耶穌基督的寶血,我們今天如何迎見神呢?感謝耶穌,赦罪之道是由耶穌而來,在靠律法不能稱義的一切事上,信靠耶穌的人就得稱義了。
 
Amos 4:12-13
 
The prophet Amos pointed out how the Israelites turned away from the Lord and how God had them troubles in order to lead them back to the right path.  In the end of this teaching the prophet reminded us to get prepared to meet our Lord.
 
We are so lucky to be able to meet the Lord everyday.  In front of Him we can see how we turn wayward by sinful desire, our jealousy and bitterness and our lack of awe to our Almighty God.  Meeting God rinses our hearts and desires and help us focus on God, and Him alone.
 
Thank You Jesus for making us ways to meet our God.  We can see how far we are from your righteous path when we come to You.
