262 中翻英 (13) Trust in God. 要信靠上帝 1/10/2023

 262   中翻英 (13)                        Trust in God.                要信靠上帝                 1/10/2023

我們在天上的父上帝,孩子深信,凡信靠祢的是有福的。我們要完全信靠祢,因為別無依賴。奉主耶穌的名禱告。 阿們。

一月十日

「外邦為什么爭鬧?」(詩2:1

對于這個問題,在圣經里立即給我們答案。這都因「世上的君王一同起來,臣宰一同商議,要敵擋耶和華,并祂的受膏者。」(詩2:2)世上的政權,他們彼此間的敵意,無論是如何的猛烈和厲害,但他們的內心,卻聯合一致于一個共同的目的,那就是抵擋基督的統治。我們從表面上觀察,以為地上的政權,有些是坏的,有些是好的,但圣經卻明确的指出,無論是好的或是坏的政權,它們的背后都被「這世界的王」(約16:1114:30)所操縱著,因著這「世界之王」的煽動,世上的各种政權便竭力掙扎,想要完全脫离基督律法所加在他們身上的制裁和判決,他們不要仁愛,不要謙卑,不要真理。他們喊著說:「讓我們掙開他們的捆綁,脫去他們的繩索!」(詩2:3

因此,神笑了。全部圣經只在此處題起神笑了。因神已建立祂的君王,在錫安祂的圣山上了。早期的教會對基督的主權和統治權,都有非常透徹的了解。今天我們的處境,是更需記牢這一件明确的事實——基督獨一無二的主權和統治權。或者,在不久的將來,也許在我們今生的年日中,主就要「用鐵杖來牧列國。」我們的工作和本分,是要勸告世人,「務要省悟作聰明人,并要完全信靠祂!」(詩2:10-12

         "Why do the Gentiles quarrel?" (Psalm 2:1)    

This question is answered  immediately by the Bible.  It is because "the rulers take counsel together against the LORD,  and against his anointed. " (Psalm 2:2)   However violent the hostility between them, world governments are at heart united on one thing : they are against the reign of Christ. We look upon nations as some of them bad, some good; but the Bible clearly points us to the “prince of this world" behind them all ( John 16:11, 14:30). Prompted by them, earth’s rulers seek only absolute freedom from the sanctions imposed by the law of Christ.  They want no more love, no more humility, no more truth.  "Let us break their bands asunder,” they cry, “and cast away their cords from us. " (Psalm 2:3)

 Therefore, God laughed. At this point alone in all of Bible is God said to laugh. His King is already on His holy Hill Zion. The early church was very much aware of Christ's dominion. More than ever today do we need to keep in mind one clear fact —— the unique sovereignty and dominion of Christ. Or, in the near future, maybe in our lifetime, the Lord will "shepherd the nations with a rod of iron."  Our task is to plead with men to "be wise”; to “put their trust in Him!" (Psalm 2:10-12)

 親愛的訪友們,請讓編輯者再向您們借用一點時間,容我再一次述說,"主耶穌的恩典夠我用"。祂是值得我們完全信靠的。我半歲時祂就拯我,在1931年極大長江洪災中,估計十四萬人喪生,我們住在長江邊上的人肯定是喪命的,但主差遣天使救我,活到如今93歲仍能為祂作見證。接著是小日本要吞噬我中華民族,施行殘酷的濫轟炸我們老百姓,我那時雖然帶病,仍被錄取為幼年空軍,決心要與小日本空軍一併死活。豈不知上帝差遣天使美國助我們擊敗這毫無人性的殘暴敵人。更要見證有基督信仰的是有愛心的人。我們信仰基督耶穌的總統蔣中正,沒有要他們賠償在南京大屠殺的血債。(註: 中翻英在下篇博客內詳細說明。)
