613 中翻英 (313) Lord came to the world for bearing the sins of the world. 主的降生是為贖世人的罪. 12/16/2023
十二月十六日的曠野筵席是啟示世人, 主耶穌基督道成肉身, 是為贖我們的罪. 而世人不要祂、拒絕祂、不接受祂. 親愛的訪友, 我們有這樣對待主嗎?
「祂不灰心，也不喪膽，直到祂在地上設立公理，海島都等候祂的訓誨。」 （賽 42:4 新國際版）
約翰福音第一章就記著主到自己的地方來，自己的人倒不接待祂。祂來為要擔當以色列人的罪，為要擔當外邦人的罪，但是人不要祂、拒絕祂、不接受祂。祂在十字架上時，人不要祂，神也不要祂。若是我們，必定要失望、灰心、憂愁難過了。但是約翰十九章記載，主在十字架上喊說：「成了」。若是你和我就要喊說「罷了」。祂卻像打胜仗的軍兵吶喊一樣，喊著說：「成了」。祂一生一世把神當作祂的滿足。祂對于世人沒有一點盼望，并不盼望從人得著什么。祂不受從人來的榮耀。祂不是要行自己的意思，乃是要遵行差祂來者的旨意，看哪！我常行差我來者的旨意。我們的主一生一世只把神的旨意當作祂的滿足，所以世上的人、事、物、無論如何變遷，都不會使祂失望。凡以神為滿足的，是不會失望的。

“He will not lose
heart, nor will he be discouraged, until he establishes justice in the earth,
and the islands wait for his instruction.” (Isaiah 42:4 NIV)
The first chapter
of the Gospel of John records that the Lord came to his own place, but his own
people did not receive him. He came to bear the sins of Israel and the sins of
the Gentiles, but people did not want Him, rejected Him, and did not accept
Him. When He was on the cross, people did not want Him, and God did not want
Him. If it were us, we would definitely be disappointed, discouraged, and sad.
But John Chapter 19 records that the Lord shouted on the cross, “It is
finished.” If you and I were to shout "that's it". But He cried out
like a victorious soldier shouting, "It is finished." He regarded God
as His satisfaction all his life. He has no hope for the world and does not
expect to receive anything from them. He receives no glory from men. He did not
seek to do His own will, but to do the will of Him who sent Him. Behold! I
always do the will of him who sent me. Our Lord only regarded God’s will as His
satisfaction all his life, so people, things, and things in the world, no
matter how they changed, would never disappoint Him. Anyone who is satisfied
with God will not be disappointed.
