喇合—信心的好榜样



“耶和华你们的神本是上天下地的神。” - 书2:11

? 灵修


喇合冒了很大的险来隐藏以色列的两个探子。她这样做,是因为她看出以色列人并不可能靠着自己的能力穿越红海,又过了四十年的旷野生活还能幸存。她看到了,神是他们力量的源泉。尽管她只是一个来自耶利哥城的外邦人,但是她却明白神是谁,以及神能做什么。


因着神的恩典和怜悯,这个本是妓女和外人的女子成了真理的见证,以及信心的榜样。神使用她的故事提醒以色列人,他们被拣选并不是因为自己是了不起的强大民族;他们被拣选为神的百姓,乃是因着神的怜悯和仁慈。而神也拣选了喇合。


喇合成了大卫的祖先,马太将她列在耶稣的家谱当中,而雅各书则说她是基督徒慇勤款待的榜样,希伯来书也把她与信心的伟人同列。她看见神正在这世上行新事,而且神也让她成为其中的一部分。


藉着信心,我们也知道神正在这世上行新事。神正在差遣祂的儿子在世界每个角落建立祂的国度。我们要来庆祝祂的降生,同时我们也翘首以盼祂的再来,并且掌权直到永远。主耶稣啊,愿祢快来!


? 祷告


主啊, 祢本是“上天下地的神”,我们在你面前屈膝敬拜。主耶稣啊,愿祢快来,带我们进入祢的国度。奉祢的名祷告,阿们。


普世佳音每日箴言

? Faith Model Rahab

"The Lord your God is God in heaven above and on the earth below." — Joshua 2:11? Devotion

Rahab took a great risk in hiding the two Israelite spies. She did that because she recognized the Israelites could not have crossed the Red Sea or survived forty years in the wilderness on their own power. She saw that God was the source of their strength. Though she was an outsider from Jericho, she understood who God is and what God can do.

Through the grace and mercy of God, this woman who was a prostitute and an outsider served as a witness to truth and a role model of faith. God used her story to remind Israel that they were not chosen because they were a great and mighty nation; they were chosen to be God's people because of God's compassion and mercy. God chose Rahab too.

Rahab became an ancestor of David. Matthew lists her in Jesus' family tree, and the book of James names her as an example of Christian hospitality. The book of Hebrews also includes her in the roll call of heroes of faith. Rahab is our ancestor in faith. She saw that God was doing something new in the world, and God made her a part of it.

By faith, we also know that God is doing something new in the world. God is sending his Son to establish his kingdom everywhere. Soon we will celebrate his birth as we look forward with expectation and hope to his return to reign forever. Come, Lord Jesus!

? Prayer

You, Lord, are "God in heaven above and on the earth below." We bow in worship before you. Come, Lord Jesus, and usher in your kingdom. In your name, Amen.
