每日箴言

向敌人学习吧


“有一个撒玛利亚人,行路来到那里。看见他就动了慈心。” - 路 10:33

 灵修

一个律法师要试探耶稣,他是摩西和以色列律法的专家。他问:“我该作什么才可以承受永生呢?”然后问:“谁是我的邻舍呢?”


耶稣讲了一个故事来回答他。一个人被抢劫并且受了伤,宗教领袖不理睬他,反而是一个撒玛利亚人帮助了他。


在耶稣时代,犹太人轻视撒玛利亚人,因为他们代表了犹太人绝不想成为的一切。犹太人常常回避撒玛利亚人,他们绕道多走几英哩,只为了不碰见撒玛利亚人。


然而在耶稣的故事中,撒玛利亚人并没有对受伤的人袖手旁观,而是以怜悯相待。他施行了急救措施,把这个人带到客栈,好让他得到疗养。他甚至付清了一切费用。藉着这个故事,耶稣要使犹太人所轻视的敌人,成为故事中的英雄。


到这个时候,耶稣的听众——尤其是那些宗教领袖们——被耶稣指正他们有一个错误观念。耶稣不仅仅是给他们一个邻舍的概念,而是向他们显明一个邻舍是怎样做的。这三个人谁是邻舍呢?


这个时候,律法师被迫停止以自己的知识和学位来为自己辩护了。他回答说:“是那怜悯他的。”耶稣告诉他,照着去行吧。


谁是我的邻舍?谁又曾做过我的邻舍呢?


 祷告

救主耶稣啊,求祢帮助我们向每个人显出祢的怜悯和爱,包括那些我们当做轻视的人。奉祢的名祷告,阿们。



普世佳音每日箴言

 Learning From The Enemy

“A Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him.” - Luke 10:33


 Devotion


A religion professor—an expert in the law of Moses and Israel—wanted to test Jesus. He asked, “What must I do to inherit eternal life?” And then: “Who is my neighbor?”


Jesus responded by telling a story about a man, robbed and injured, who was ignored by the people’s religious leaders but helped by a Samaritan.


In Jesus’ day, the Jews despised Samaritans. They represented everything the Jewish people never wanted to be. Jews often avoided Samaria by traveling many miles out of the way so they wouldn’t have to come into contact with Samaritans.


In Jesus’ story, however, rather than passing by the injured man, the Samaritan showed compassion. He administered first aid. He brought the man to an inn where he could recuperate. He even paid the bill. Jesus made the despised enemy of the Jews the star in this story.


By this time, Jesus’ listeners—especially the religion expert—were informed of an error in their thinking. Jesus did not give them a mere definition of a neighbor; he showed them how a neighbor acted. Which of the three was a neighbor?


The religion teacher was forced to stop justifying himself by his intellect and degrees. He simply replied, “The one who had mercy.” And Jesus told him to go and act similarly.


Who is my neighbor? And who has been a neighbor to me?


 Prayer

Savior Jesus, help us to show your mercy and love to everyone, including the people we have despised as enemies. Amen.
