馬太福音27章32-34節
神的小僕人

經文:
32 他們出來的時候，遇見一個古利奈人，名叫西門，就勉強他同去，好背著耶穌的十字架。
33 到了一個地方，名叫各各他，意思就是髑髏地。
34 兵丁拿苦膽調和的酒，給耶穌喝。他嘗了，就不肯喝。

主耶穌在十字架上，拒絕喝苦膽調和的酒，苦膽調和的酒就是今天的麻醉藥，這證明了祂是真真實實的在十字架上為我們承擔了罪的苦債。

主耶穌為我們釘十字架這整件事，包括拒絕喝苦膽調和的酒，都是不容易解釋的，因為人的正常反應就是逃避痛苦，尋找舒緩，但主耶穌卻拒絕了，祂是真真實實，全心全意的為我們受苦，提醒了我們主愛的真實，也告訴我們不要用自己的方法去逃避苦難。

禱告:
主耶穌，祢的愛在十架上已顯明了，我們不要用人的方法去麻醉自己，求祢的大愛與同在成為我們的力量，去面對生活、生命中各樣的難處與苦難。奉耶穌的名禱告，阿們。

Matthew 27:32-34

Jesus refused to drink the wine mixed with gall, which supposedly was like anaesthetic, can relieve His pain. It shows us that Jesus truly suffered and died on the cross to pay our sins that cost.

It is normal for us to run away from pain and find various ways of relief. Jesus’ love for us is so perfect and complete that He denied ways to avoid the cost. It shows His faithfulness as a suffering Lord who does not find human ways to avoid the pain He had to suffer.

Jesus did not use ways to relieve Himself showing His perfect love for us on the Cross.
