602 中翻英 (302) Without Israel, there is no salvation. 沒有以色列, 就沒有救恩. 12/5/2023
十二月五日晨曦默思使有基督信仰者深深的了解, 沒有以色列, 就沒有我們的救恩. 我們的主耶穌基督是生在以色列.
「他們便撒下网去，竟拉不上來了，因為魚甚多。耶穌所愛的那門徒對彼得說，"是主！"」（約 21:6-7 新國際版）
當主耶穌站在岸上的時候，那最令人感覺惊奇的，就是門徒竟沒有一個認識祂，甚至与祂最親密的彼得、約翰和那位曾親自用手探摸祂傷痕的多馬，也都不認識祂。复活的主不是只憑著肉眼或人手可以認識的。雖然主耶穌与他們共話家常，他們仍然認不出祂來。但當魚网滿了大魚時，約翰才突然認出是主耶穌。
后來到了岸上，主耶穌對他們說：「你們來吃早飯」。我們知道，門徒中沒有一個敢問祂：「你是誰！」因為他們知道是主。在這里我們看見了一個矛盾，在普通的情形下，如果你向別人問問題，那就暗示你缺乏有關那問題的知識。但如果你不敢問，那就意味著你懼怕你認識的不足被暴露出來。然而在這里，卻同時包括了懼怕和認識，門徒在外面（外面的人）懼怕，不敢問他，但他們在里面（里面的人）卻認識祂。在屬靈的事上，也是如此。我們常常不知道該如何去解釋，然而在我們里面卻有了神所賜內在的把握和保證。這就是基督教的特征。

"Wnen they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish. Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, 'It is the Lord!' " (John 21:6-7 NIV)
They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the moltititude of of fish. That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. (John 21:6-7 Another Translation)
As Jesus stood there on the shore , the strange thing was that none of them knew Him; not even Peter and John who had ben most intimat with Him, nor Thomas who so lately had identified Him by His wounds. The risen Lord was not to be recognized merely by human eyes, nor by hands of flesh. Even when He spoke to them of familiar things, still they did not recognized Him. But when the net was full, John sudenly knew.
Later, when on the shore Jess said, "Come and break your fast," none of them, we are told, dared ask Him, "Who art thou?" Knowing it was the Lord. Here is a paradox. In the ordinary way, if you ask a question, it implies a lack of knowledgr; if yu dare not ask, it suggest a fear of displaying that lack. But there we have both fear and knowledge. With the out ward man they feared but with the inward man they knew. Often you cannot explain, yet there is an inward, divinely given assurance. This is Christianity.
