馬太福音四章18-22節
神的小僕人
經文:
18 耶穌在加利利海邊行走,看見弟兄二人,就是那稱呼彼得的西門和他兄弟安得烈,在海裡撒網;他們本是打魚的。
19 耶穌對他們說:來跟從我,我要叫你們得人如得魚一樣。
20 他們就立刻捨了網,跟從了他。
21 從那裡往前走,又看見弟兄二人,就是西庇太的兒子雅各,和他兄弟約翰,同他們的父親西庇太在船上補網,耶穌就招呼他們。
22 他們立刻捨了船,別了父親,跟從了耶穌。
門徒要跟從耶穌就必須離開他們安舒的環境,這也許是我們最難學的功課。昔日門徒離開他們的工作,他們的家人,來跟從耶穌。今日的我們,有許多放不下的人事物:親人、工作、錢財、名譽、物質和關係。
捨去是一個很難的功課。求主憐憫幫助,使我們願意付代價跟隨耶穌。
Matthew 4:18-22
To follow Jesus, we have to leave things behind. In the past the disciples left their fishing boats, left their families to follow Jesus. Yet nowadays there are more we cling on to and cannot let go, our gains, fame, materials and relationships.
To let go is a great lesson. To let go of anger and bitterness we can restore relationship. To let go of comfort we can follow Christ. To have faith we can have an eternal perspective. May the Lord forgive us and help us willing to pay the cost and follow Him.
