450 中翻英 (150)    But I tell you: Love your enenies (Matthew 6:44)    主在登山寶訓告誡要愛仇敵. 7/7/2023   

1931年的長江極大洪水的氾濫成災, 死亡約14萬災民, 而小日本不但不給予幫助, 却接二連三的侵略中國,   先是侵占我們的東三省成立滿洲國,   然後在1937年的今天   "七月七日" 發動盧溝橋事變, 施行大舉惡毒無人3性的轟炸, 殘殺南京城的我中國同胞, 雖然他們在歷史書上說謊, 但創造世界的公義的上帝永遠不會忘記這日子.     

七月七日,   今天小日本發動盧溝橋事變,   接著是上海的大轟炸,   南京的大屠殺及重慶無人性的二十四小時的連續爛炸老百性,   血肉橫飛,   死傷無法計算.   上帝告誡祂的子民要饒恕仇敵.    求仁愛的主耶穌鑑查.

「后來我所揀選的那人，他的杖必發芽。」（民17:5）

亞倫的祭司職分，曾被人議論并攻擊，人家怀疑他是否神所揀選的仆人。他們在問：「這個人是不是神所任命的？我們實在不知道！」因此神便出來證明誰是祂的仆人，也證明誰不是祂所揀選的。神怎樣做呢！十二根杖于至圣所內放在祂面前，在那里留了一夜，到了早上，神的揀選就從那根發芽、開花和結了熟杏的杖顯明出來。

新芽、新花、和熟杏，這一切都宣揚复活的神跡。這是從死里出來的生命，標明了是神所印證的職事——只有這一個，是唯一的標明，缺乏了這一個，就是一無所有。神只能使用那些借著与祂聯合，并嘗過祂無窮生命大能的執事。

"The rod of the one whom I choose afterward will sprout." (Numbers 17:5)

Aaron's priesthood was discussed and attacked, and people doubted whether he was God's chosen servant. They are asking, "Is this man appointed by God? We really don't know!" So God comes out to prove who is His servant and who is not His chosen one. How does God do it! The twelve rods were placed before Him in the Holy of Holies, and remained there overnight, and in the morning God's choice was manifested from that rod which sprouted, blossomed, and bore ripe almonds.

The new shoots, the new flowers, and the ripening almonds all proclaim the miracle of the resurrection. This is the life that comes out of death, and it marks the ministry sealed by God—only this is the only mark, and without this, there is nothing. God can use only those ministers who, through union with him, have tasted the power of his infinite life.
