10/24/2013人子的譴責

經文:路加福音10－12章

中心思想:路加福音10：1-37

提要

        耶穌將七十個門徒兩個兩個的差派出去，吩咐他們「醫治……病人，對他們說，上帝的國臨近你們了」（路10：9），後來他們歡天喜地的回來，使耶穌也歡樂得讚美上帝（路10：21）但反對的烏雲已經密佈了，有些人把祂的神蹟歸給撒但，而不歸給上帝，另一些人喧嚷著要看神蹟，法利賽人則攻擊祂不注重傳統，耶穌卻指責宗教領袖的虛偽不實，並警告門徒，服事的時候要小心！

每日與主同行

        假設以下幾分鐘裏，你是全世界五十億人口中惟一的基督徒（幸好你不是），你以一年的時間領一個人信主，然後你們兩位再以一年的時間各領一個人信主，依此類推，需要多少年才能使全世界每一個人都成為基督徒？（拜託，至少算一算！）
        這個令人震驚的倍增真相是這樣的：如果每一個人以「一個帶一個」的方式實行大使命的話，這個任務很可能在三十二年內完成。
        耶穌差派門徒兩個兩個出去，傳福音的工作卻是一對一：一個信基督的人和一個不信的分享福音，這是否有助於使你明白基督徒的見證──你的見證──的重要？在本頁空白處寫下尚未得救的朋友的名字，為他積極禱告並且分享基督的愛，讓好消息繼續流傳！

默想

可疑的神蹟（11：29─30）
        路加福音記錄了耶穌將自己與約拿相比及談到「約拿的神蹟」的話。但路加並沒有說明「約拿的神蹟」是什麼？查閱馬太福音十二章卅八至四十一節，你能不能向一位非基督徒朋友解釋其意義？試試看。

金言

傳福音是教會全體的恆切目標，而不是某些會友的奇特嗜好。

Admonitions of the Son of Man

Scriptures:Luke 10-12

Heart of the Passage:Luke 10:1-37

Overview

        Seventy disciples are sent out two-by-two with instructions to "heat the sick ... and say..., The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you" (10:9). Their enthusiastic return prompts Jesus to rejoice in spontaneous praise to God (10:21). But the clouds of confrontation are already gathering. Some attribute His miracles to Satan rather than to God. Others clamor for more miraculous signs. Pharisees attack His seeming disregard for their traditions. Jesus responds by denouncing the religious leaders for their hypocrisy, and by warning the disciples to be watchful as they work.

Your Daily Walk

        Assume for the next few minutes that the population of the world is almost five billion (it is) and that you are the only Christian on earth (you aren't). If you led one other person to the Lord during the next 12 months, and the two of you led two other people to the Lord the following year, etc., how many years would it take (statistically, at least) before everyone in the world would be a Christian?
        The startling fact of multiplication is this: If everyone approached the Great Commission with the attitude, "Each one win one," the task might well be completed in about 32 years! 
        Jesus sent out His disciples two-by-two ... but the job of spreading the gospel occurred one-by-one: one individual with Christ sharing the Good News with one individual without Christ. Does that help you see how important one witness—your witness —can be in accomplishing the goal? Write down the name of an unsaved acquaintance in the margin, and make that person the focus of your praying... and sharing. That's how the Good News gets around!

Insight

Something’s Fishy About This Sign（11：29-30）──
        Luke records Jesus’ words comparing Himself with the prophet Jonah and speaking of the “sign of Jonah.” But what is the “sign of Jonah’? Luke doesn’t say. Check Matthew 12：38-41. Could you explain it to a non-Christian friend? Try it. 

Adage

Evangelism is the perpetual task of the whole church and not the peculiar hobby of certain members.
