人生格言：

「神默不作聲，也未向我們顯現，但他的工作卻從未停止過。他鑒察全地，掌管萬有，目睹著人的一言一行、一舉一動。他有計劃、有步驟地進行著他的經營，悄無聲息，也未見驚天動地，而他的腳步卻一步一步逼近人類，以迅雷不及掩耳之勢在宇宙間展開了他的審判台，他的寶座也隨即降在了我們中間。」

用心靈和誠實敬拜神

主耶穌說：「神是個靈，所以拜他的必須用心靈和誠實拜他。」（約翰福音4：24）

神要求我們用心靈和誠實敬拜他，無論我們有什麼難處，都應將心敞開向神訴說，把心交給神，也應帶著尋求神心意的態度去跟神說心裡話、說誠實話，這樣我們心裡就有神的地位了，神也會帶領我們度過難關。

神說：「神對人要求的最低標準就是人能向他敞開心，人若將真心交給神向神說真心話，那神就願意在人身上作工，神要的不是人彎曲的心而是單純誠實的心。人對他不說真心話他就不感動人的心，也不在人身上作工，所以禱告最關鍵的就是能向神說真心話，將自己的缺欠或悖逆的性情向神訴說，向神完全敞開自己，這樣神才能對你的禱告感興趣，否則神會向你掩面的。」

Only Those Sin-Cleansed Can Be Raised into the Kingdom of Heaven
Can anyone who is forgiven of sins enter the kingdom of heaven? Through seeking the truth, brother Han Song finally got the most accurate answer…

Han Song opened the Bible and read, “Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord” (Heb 12:14). He thought back to those years when he believed in the Lord and often lived a life where he committed sins and then repented for them, and couldn’t practice the Lord’s words that he knew, just as Paul said, “For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwells no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not” (Rom 7:18). He wondered: My sins have been forgiven because of my faith in the Lord. Why is it that I can’t break free from the bondage of sin but commit sins constantly? The Lord is holy. Can a person who frequently sins like me enter the kingdom of heaven?

Han Song sought out Brother Li for fellowship about that.

Brother Li replied, “Normally, the Lord Jesus had redeemed us, and our sins have been forgiven since we accepted His salvation. But why is it that we’re unable to break away from the bondage of sin but still frequently commit sins? In fact, the Lord Jesus had forgiven the sin of humanity through crucifixion; this doesn’t mean that we are sinless and have been delivered from the bondage of sin and been cleansed. The Lord Jesus absolved us of all sins, but we must know what sins He absolved. We all know anything that violates God’s law, commandments or words is a sin. Because He served as the sin offering for us, as long as we pray to Him, confess and repent when we sin, He will forgive our sins, no longer treating us as sinners, and we will be able to enjoy His grace. This is the true meaning of ‘forgiveness of sin.’ However, this doesn’t mean that we have cast off our sinful nature. It only means that we aren’t condemned to death for breaking the law. We still live in the situation of sinning and confessing, and we still can resist God and disobey God due to our nature. Thus, how can we be saved by God and enter the kingdom of heaven? The Lord Jesus said, ‘Truly, truly, I say to you, Whoever commits sin is the servant of sin. And the servant stays not in the house for ever: but the Son stays ever’ (Jhn 8:34–35). From these words, we can see that those who can’t escape sin and become purified won’t be able to enter the kingdom of heaven.”

Han Song nodded thoughtfully.

Brother Li opened the computer and said, “I saw a passage on a gospel website. It’s helpful for us. Let’s read it, ‘Before man was redeemed, many of Satan’s poisons had already been planted within him and, after thousands of years of being corrupted by Satan, he has within him an established nature that resists God. Therefore, when man has been redeemed, it is nothing more than a case of redemption in which man is bought at a high price, but the poisonous nature within him has not been eliminated. Man that is so defiled must undergo a change before becoming worthy to serve God. By means of this work of judgment and chastisement, man will fully come to know the filthy and corrupt substance within his own self, and he will be able to change completely and become clean. Only in this way can man become worthy to return before the throne of God.’

“From this passage, we can understand that the work of redemption done by the Lord Jesus only forgives our sins. The satanic corrupt dispositions, such as arrogance and conceit, selfishness and greediness, crookedness and deceitfulness, jealousy and conflict, and so on, have taken root deep within us. These corrupt dispositions are something deeper and more profound than sins; they are the root that leads us to sin and to resist God. If these corrupt dispositions aren’t resolved, we will continue to sin, resist God, and judge and convict Him according to our ideas and imaginations. When facing persecution and suffering, we can deny God or betray God; when holding positions of power, we can establish independent kingdoms in resistance to God and offend God’s disposition, and thus be condemned and punished by God. It is evident that as long as our corrupt disposition isn’t resolved, we will do things at all times that resist God or betray God. How can those filled with such satanic corrupt disposition enter God’s kingdom?”

Han Song came to a sudden realization, “Now I finally understand the reason why I often live in the circumstances where I sin and then confess. Our corrupt dispositions aren’t resolved. So we involuntarily sin and resist God. Then, how can we cast off sins and be purified?”

Brother Li continued, “The Lord Jesus once said: ‘I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. However, when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come’ (Jhn 16:12–13). From these words we can see that when He was performing work, the Lord Jesus had many words He didn’t say. When He returns He will express more truths. All these truths are the way to make us attain salvation. Only by accepting these truths, can we cast off corrupt disposition and achieve purity.

“Recently, through studying the Bible, I found that there are over two hundred prophecies relating to God’s work of judgment of the last days, such as, ‘And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world’ (Jhn 12:47). ‘For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God’ (1Pe 4:17). ‘Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come’ (Rev 14:7). And so on. From these words we can see that when the Lord Jesus comes in the last days, He’ll probably carry out a stage of the work of judging and purifying man. If we want to cast off sins and obtain purification, we must accept God’s work of the last days. Only in this way can we be saved and enter the kingdom of heaven. Now is the key moment to welcome the return of the Lord. The Bible says: ‘He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches’ (Rev 2:7). Only if we pay attention to hearing God’s voice and accepting God’s work of judgment of the last days will we have the hope of entering the kingdom of heaven. I saw many fellowships about this question on the gospel website.”

當我們在熬煉中缺少信心時

我們每個人都會在生活中面臨一些難處和挫折，當我們缺少信心時我們會發怨言，抱怨為什麼這樣的事情會臨到自己，為什麼神不保守我，神知不知道我現在很痛苦、煎熬？神是全能的，是監察人心肺腑的，在我們身上所發生的一切神都知道，那為什麼神許可各種各樣的事情臨到我們呢？如果沒有這些我們認為不好的事情發生那該有多好，越這樣想我們越覺得苦、難、勝不過去。但當我們抱著一顆尋求的心來到神面前，將我們的難處、苦楚和神訴說時，慢慢從神所擺設的環境中，從神的話語中逐步明白其實每件事情的背後都有神的美意，有時候神讓我們臨到挫折和難處不是故意為難我們，而是讓我們在這樣的環境中學會成長，變的勇敢、堅強、有毅力，讓我們在難處困境中懂得呼求神依靠神，明白不是我們一人在面對這些事，神一直在我們身邊陪伴，我們並不孤單，神是我們永遠的依靠，從中感受到神的良苦用心和神對我們的愛。小竹筍需要經過風吹日曬、嚴寒酷暑的磨練才能成長的又粗壯又高大，而我們也需要經歷很多的磨練，使我們對神的信心加增，對神的認識加增，依靠神應對各種困難的決心加增。

「不要灰心，不要軟弱，我會向你顯明，國度路上不是那麼一帆風順的，哪有那樣便宜的事！輕而易舉就想得福，不是嗎？今天人人都要有苦的試煉，否則你們愛我的心不會加強，對我不會有真正的愛，哪怕是一點點的環境，人人都要過關，只不過是程度不同罷了。......與我苦有份的，與我的甜必有份，那是我的應許、我給你們的祝福。」

「熬煉是神成全人的最好方式，只有藉著熬煉、藉著痛苦的試煉，才能使人心裡對神發出真實的愛。沒有苦難，人對神就沒有真實的愛，裡面沒有試煉，沒有真實的熬煉臨到，人的心總是在外面漂著，受熬煉到一個地步，你看見自己的軟弱、自己的難處，看見自己的缺少太多，遇到許多難處都勝不過去，看見自己的悖逆太多。試煉之中才能真正地認識自己的實在情形，試煉更能成全人。」

為何主耶穌行完神蹟後，常囑咐不要告訴人？

主耶穌在治好了兩個瞎子後，切切地囑咐他們說：「你們要小心，不可叫人知道。」（太9：30）
在彼得說出主耶穌是基督，是永生神的兒子後，「耶穌囑咐門徒，不可對人說他是基督。」（太16：20）
主耶穌領著門徒登山，主耶穌改變形象後，下山時吩咐門徒說：「人子還沒有從死裡復活，你們不要將所看見的告訴人。」（太17：9）這些經文都是記載主在行完神蹟後囑咐人的話。

每當讀到這些經文時，我們都會感到困惑，為什麼主在行了這些神蹟後，都要囑咐人不要說出去呢？神這樣作工的心意是什麼呢？

今天分享的文章《為何主耶穌行完神蹟後，常囑咐不要告訴人？》將給我們帶來了新的解讀！

為何主耶穌行完神蹟後，常囑咐不要告訴人？

08/01/2018

馬太福音8章4節記著主耶穌給一個長大痲瘋的人治好病後，對他說：「你切不可告訴人，只要去把身體給祭司察看，獻上摩西所吩咐的禮物，對眾人作證據。」馬太福音9章30節主耶穌在治好了兩個瞎子後，切切地囑咐他們說：「你們要小心，不可叫人知道。」在彼得說出主耶穌是基督，是永生神的兒子後，「耶穌囑咐門徒，不可對人說他是基督。」（太16：20）還有主耶穌領著門徒登山，主耶穌改變形象後，下山時吩咐門徒說：「人子還沒有從死裡復活，你們不要將所看見的告訴人。」（太17：9）每當讀到這些經文時，我就不明白主在作了這些事後，為什麼都要囑咐人不要說出去呢？

而且我從經文裡看到不單是我有這樣的想法，就連主耶穌身邊的人也有這樣的想法，經上記著：「耶穌的弟兄就對他說：『你離開這裡上猶太去吧，叫你的門徒也看見你所行的事。人要顯揚名聲，沒有在暗處行事的；你如果行這些事，就當將自己顯明給世人看。』」（約7：3-4）神為什麼要這樣作工？神這樣作工的心意是什麼呢？帶著這樣的困惑我經常禱告，求主帶領我明白。後來經多方查找資料、找明白聖經的弟兄姊妹交通，我終於明白了一點神的心意。

我們都知道神的智慧超出人的想像，神作每步工作都根據他要達到的果效來作，並不是按著人的觀念想像來作工，怎麼作對工作有益處、對拯救人類有益處神就怎麼作。查考聖經不難發現，主耶穌剛降生的時候，就遭到了希律王的追殺。（參閱太2：12-21）細想想，主耶穌剛降生只有很少的人知道，便遭到希律王的追殺，若是公開了那他還能在世上存活嗎？還能等到長大後擔當神的救贖工作嗎？從這段記載就可看到無論神在哪裡作工，都會遭到執政者的迫害，所以為了神的工作順利開展，主耶穌就有必要吩咐那些得醫治、得啟示的人不要把神的身分洩露出去，否則就打岔攪擾神的作工了。

主耶穌來作工時，祭司長、文士、法利賽人對待主也是充滿了仇恨。這些人雖然祖祖輩輩看聖經，在聖殿裡侍奉神，心裡也渴望、盼望彌賽亞的到來。但是當主耶穌來在地上作工的時候，他們聽到了主耶穌的講道，親眼看到主耶穌顯的神蹟奇事，從主的作工與說話中也看到主的話語帶著權柄、能力，就是真理，不是哪個人能說出來的，但他們還是故意抵擋，瘋狂定罪。經上記載：主耶穌醫治好瞎子後囑咐他們不要說，但是他們出去就說了。當然瞎子把事說出去，倒不是為了陷害主耶穌，而是認為這是好事，他們是要傳揚主耶穌的名。但是他們的好心卻給神的作工帶來了攪擾，法利賽人就藉此定罪主耶穌說：「他是靠著鬼王趕鬼。」（太9：34）從這段記載看到主之所以不讓人說出去，是因為人的好心、熱心會給抵擋神的那些法利賽人鑽空子、抓把柄的機會。當時的法利賽人處處都想抓主耶穌的把柄，從他們多次對主耶穌的試探中就可以看出，一旦他們抓住把柄，就要置主耶穌於死地。而主耶穌來世上就是要完成救贖工作的，神的救贖計劃還沒完成之前，必然會選擇先隱祕作工，正如主耶穌說：「我的時候還沒有到。」（約7：6）這裡主說他的時候還沒有到，是指他釘十字架的時候還沒有到，所以不能過早地讓人知道他的身分。主耶穌為了不使自己的工作受到攪擾、打岔與攔阻，就用智慧採取隱祕的作工方式。正是隱祕作工才把天國的福音傳開了，讓一部分人認識了神的新工作。https://reurl.cc/N4Me6

主耶穌作工講道

雖然主耶穌剛開始作工時是隱祕的，但他只是對不信他的人隱祕，對跟隨他的門徒還是公開的。這時我才明白主耶穌為什麼顯了神蹟奇事還囑咐門徒不能說出去，因為神對執政掌權的君王和宗教界的祭司長、文士和法利賽人抵擋神的實質瞭如指掌，對他們仇恨真理的本性有望眼欲穿的了解，他更知道跟隨他的人身量幼小，他知道用什麼樣的方式才能把他要拯救的人都帶到他的面前。從神隱祕的作工中可以看到主耶穌作工的智慧，同時也深深地體會到神對跟隨他的人的憐愛與眷顧，他為了拯救人所作的一切都是為了人的生命著想，讓人免去撒但的攪擾與試探，這是我以往看聖經從來沒有看到也沒有體會到的。當時的祭司長、文士、法利賽人也都聽見或看見過主耶穌所行的各種神蹟奇事，他們仇恨真理的實質在神面前徹底地暴露出來，他們怕猶太民都跟隨了主耶穌，自己的地位不保，為了取締神的作工，處處抓主耶穌的把柄要把他治罪。在這種情況下，主耶穌隱祕作工主要是為了避開試探，能順利地開展他在肉身的工作，同時也能顯明人，把信與不信、真信、假信的人都藉此顯明出來。

但神的工作又不是一直隱祕的，到工作快結束的時候，主耶穌又公開與法利賽人接觸。我在一本屬靈書裡看到一段話說：「恩典時代公開各處傳道是為了他的福音工作，他與法利賽人接觸是為了釘十字架的工作，他若不與法利賽人接觸，執政掌權的人都不知道，他怎麼能被定罪，之後被出賣釘在十字架上呢？」原來當主耶穌在地的工作結束後，他就開始公開作工，這樣做的目的是為了完成他的救贖工作——釘十字架。當他把工作全部公開的時候，法利賽人才有機會抓住他的把柄，用律法來定他的罪，把主耶穌釘在十字架上。神正好利用他們的逼迫、抵擋完成了救贖工作，這是神早就安排好的，若不這樣作他怎能被釘在十字架上完成救贖全人類的工作呢？在人看慈祥的主耶穌不應該被釘在十字架上，在神看他的救贖工作「成了」。神的作工是智慧的，人永遠看不透，這正應驗了神說過的話：「我的智慧是建立在撒但的詭計之上的。」神這樣作工不但完成了救贖全人類的工作，而且也把那些抵擋神的人都顯明定罪了。https://reurl.cc/N4Me6

藉著明白了主耶穌在恩典時代先隱祕後公開的作工方式，也給我帶來了反思與警醒：主耶穌當初作工時，宗教界和執政掌權的都抵擋神、不歡迎神的到來。那主耶穌再來作工的時候，會不會和主耶穌作工時一樣，遭到宗教界和執政黨的瘋狂抵擋迫害呢？神會不會還是用先隱祕後公開的方式作工呢？
