《受难周》之反省与再思

亲爱的弟兄姐妹,

每一年复活节的前一周,教会都将这周称为《受难周》(Passion Week)。《受难周》的第一天(星期日)被称为《棕树主日》(Palm Sunday);描述耶路撒冷城的众民欢呼迎接主耶稣入城。(马太福音 21:1-9)
牧者们常劝勉教会弟兄姐妹在《受难周》阅读记载在圣经新约四福音书里有关主耶稣在耶路撒冷城的踪迹。我也不例外的愿在此劝勉你也如此的作;当你阅读后,《受难周》对你而言不再是一般基督徒的节期而是有了崭新的意义。我为你祷告好使你带着祷告的心、反省及再思的态度阅读记载主耶稣在《受难周》的踪迹;使你能透过此阅读预见主耶稣;为此经历他在你生命中的转化。

这周牧者之心声我就先帮助你开始作一次的反省及再思吧!当你读过了马太福音 21:1-9《棕树主日》的记载后,再请你读马太福音 27:15-26《耶稣受审》的记录。读过了第二则经文,你感觉如何呢?
先前,欢呼迎接耶稣进城的众民竟然是那群极力地喊着“把他钉十字架!”的众民啊!为什么会如此呢?你可以用些时间祷告、反省、再思与默想。

亲爱的弟兄姐妹,我鼓励你就是这样的作。读过了一则经文,就祷告、反省、再思与默想。愿今年的《受难周》对你有着更新的意义!

回到我们今天默想的经文有关欢呼迎接主耶稣进城的也是喊着“钉他十字架!”的众民。为什么会这样的呢?当我正问,“为什么这群人会这样的呢?”我想到现代的信徒,也有着如这一群的人。

一方面,我们可以呼喊说,“耶稣,你是主!耶稣,你是我的主!”经过一段时日、一些经历或听了一群人的挑唆,我们也有可能喊着说,“耶稣与我无关!”再不是就静悄悄地把主耶稣扫去一旁;要“巴拉巴”也不要“主耶稣”(马太福音 27:21-22)。

亲爱的弟兄姐妹,愿今年的《受难周》的默想能引你晓得主耶稣的死与你有关;他是为了你的罪而来。本该上十字架的是你和我,但主耶稣却替你我受罚、担当你我的过犯,背负你我的罪孽;好让你我能出死入生。因着上帝叫主耶稣从死里复活,因此所有信靠主耶稣的人也同样的能与主耶稣同复活;进到永生里,哈利路亚?

当教会正往着《齐来重建》前进时,先重建个人祭坛是很重要的。其中一项重建个人祭坛的就是重建对主耶稣受难之记真谛的认知;基督信仰乃始于耶稣的诞生、耶稣的受难、耶稣的死;接着耶稣的复活。

亲爱的弟兄姐妹,“受难的耶稣”与你有关吗?你又如何回应“受难的耶稣”呢?

Can I simply juѕt say what a relief to uncover an indіѵіduаl who
truly understands what they're talking about on the web. You certainly realize how to bring an issue to light and make it important. A lot more people should look at this and understand this side of your story. I can't beliеvе you аre not more populaг
because you most certainlу haѵe the gift.

Ӏ'm impressed, I must say. Rarely do I come across a blog that's
both eԁucаtive аnԁ engaging, anԁ wіthout а ԁoubt, уou've hit the nail on the head. The problem is something which not enough folks are speaking intelligently about. I'm very
