11/2/2013上帝的兒子被拒
經文:約翰福音11-12章
中心思想:約翰福音11章
提要
如果我們說耶穌所行的神蹟中,有一個能完全震驚敵人的,那就是拉撒路從死裏復活了。許多基督的神蹟都遭到宗教領袖的曲解,然而全城都看見,一個最有名的人埋葬了四天之後從死裏復活,你怎麼能令他們保持沉默呢?這個轟動的消息如野火般的傳開了,使耶穌在耶路撒冷得到熱烈的接待。

聖經中最短的經文也是最有力的經節,因為這節經文顯示出上帝兒子深情的一刻,你會發現約翰福音十一章三十五節只有四個字:「耶穌哭了」。想一想這節最短的經文告訴你什麼:耶穌表達真正的感情!祂不以為流露真情有失男子氣魄,而緊閉雙唇壓抑悲痛,祂卻公開流淚毫不以為恥。
「耶穌哭了」,表示憂傷難過是生命中的一部分,為失去所愛的人傷痛,絕不是「不屬靈」的,強顏歡笑掩飾內心痛苦的憂傷也不是「比較屬靈」,真的,就如傳道書說的,「哭有時,笑有時」(傳3:4)!
你知道有人正處在極度的傷痛中嗎?用幾分鐘的時間表達你的愛意,或聽他訴說,一定對他大有助益,在傾聽或表示關心時,就算陪他落淚也不要難為情,因為這是擔當別人的重擔啊(加6:2)!
默想
神蹟後的不幸結局
在約翰福音一章到十二章裏,七個證明耶穌是上帝兒子的神蹟中,拉撒路復活是最後一個,也是最戲劇化的一個!它所帶來的震撼排山倒海般的遍佈全國,卻引起了什麼後果呢?從下列經文中尋找答案吧!
伯大尼的猶太人?(約11:45,46)_________________________
猶太人公會?(約11:47、53,12:10)_______________________

Overview
If there
is one miracle Jesus performs that utterly confounds His enemies, it is the
raising of Lazarus from the dead. Many of Christ's miracles could be explained
away or downplayed by the religious leaders. But how do you silence an entire
city that has witnessed the resurrection of one of its most prominent citizens—four days
after kis burial? The thrilling news spreads like wildfire, setting the stage
for Jesus' grand reception in Jerusalem.

The
shortest verse in the Bible is also one of the most potent, for it shows the
Son of God in a moment of deep emotion. You'll find it in 11:35, and it
consists of just two words: "Jesus wept. "But consider what that
briefest of verses tells you: Jesus expressed genuine emotion. He did not
consider it unmanly to express His true feelings. Rather than toughing it out
or keeping a stiff upper lip in a time of grief, He wept openly and
unashamedly.
Jesus was
capable of sadness. This suggests that sorrow and grief should be an expected
part of life. It is not unspiritual to grieve at the loss of a loved one;
neither is it more spiritual to maintain a happy countenance to cover up inward
pain and heartache. There truly is "a time to weep, and a time to laugh"
(Ecclesiastes 3:4).
Do you
know someone who is experiencing a period of deep grief or sadness right now? A
few minutes of your time spent loving and listening to him or her can mean so
much. And don't be embarrassed if a few tears flow in the process. That's what
bearing one another's burdens is all about (Galatians 6:2).
