582中翻英(282) First learning from Him to be meek and humble, then get rest for your souls. 首先學習主的柔和謙卑, 然後就得享安習. 11/15/2023

582中翻英(282) First learning from Him to be meek and humble, then get rest for your souls.                                                         首先學習主的柔和謙卑, 然後就得享安習.                         11/15/2023

十一月十五日的晨曦甘露平息了編輯者的悶悶不樂.   因為今生的驕傲仍不斷的從我的老我罪性中湧流而出.  親愛的的訪友,  您有過這經驗嗎?    驕傲是阻礙罪人歸向主的拌脚石.                                                                                                                                                                                                                          

「你們心里就必得享安息。」(太   11:29 新國際版)                                                                                                                      

有一种安息是神所賜給的:「我就賜給你們安息。」(太   11:28 另譯)但還有一种安息,是要我們尋找的。第一种只需來到神面前,接受祂生命的恩賜就可以得著。這意思不只是僅僅相信一篇講得動听的福音信息,更是要人認識自己是勞苦擔重擔的罪人,來到主面前,   与主耶穌基督本身發生活的個人接触。這种接触,必然會帶來安息。感謝神,每一個祂的儿女,都已得著這种基本的恩賜(安息)了。

但既達到這一步,我們便發覺自己又踏進另一种安息的門口。我們跟著主學,我們對主的認識日有增加,在此就會得著深深的滿足。最要緊的,我們要學習祂心里柔和謙卑。如果我們肯如此跟著祂而學,我們就必得安息。這一种的安息,不是一項恩賜,而是特為著門徒所預備的,門徒的意思,就是那些跟著主學習的人。請記得,學習是需要時間的,但它所獲致的賞賜也是無可限量的。

"You will find rest for your souls." (Matthew 11:29)

There is a kind of rest given by God: "I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28).  But there is another kind of rest that we should seek. The first kind can be obtained simply by coming before God and accepting His gift of life. This means not only believing in a pleasant gospel message, but also requiring people to realize that they are laboring and heavy-laden sinners, to come before the Lord, and to have personal contact with Himself. This kind of contact will inevitably bring the rest. Thank God, all His children have received this basic gift (rest).

But once we reach this point, we find ourselves entering into the doorway of another kind of rest. As we learn from the Lord, our knowledge of Him will increase daily, and we will find deep satisfaction in our heart.  Most importantly, we must learn from Him to be meek and humble. If we are willing to learn from Him in this way, we will find rest. This kind of rest is not a gift, but is specially prepared for Jeuses' disciples. The meaning of His disciples is those following the Lord and to learn. Remember, learning takes time, but the rewards are limitless.
