每日箴言

背叛的亲吻

“连我知己的朋友,我所倚靠、吃过我饭的也用脚踢我。” - 诗 41:9

 灵修

耶稣和祂的门徒离开安全的楼上房间,走到城外的橄榄山。就在那儿,在远离人群的地方,祂被出卖了。犹大用他的亲嘴,把耶稣出卖给那些一直想办法杀掉祂的宗教领袖。犹大是耶稣所拣选的其中一个门徒,过去几年一直跟着耶稣学习。耶稣直接指出犹大的背叛,祂说:你要用代表友情的亲嘴把我交给黑暗的权势吗?


如果与你亲嘴的那人是你的敌人,亲嘴就不再是友谊的记号了。诗篇41篇提醒我们,虚假的友情是一个古时已有的问题,尤其在兄弟之间:该隐杀了亚伯,雅各骗了以扫,约瑟的哥哥们把他卖做奴隶。


门徒的反应是可以理解的:用刀剑解决问题。但是耶稣医好了被砍掉的耳朵,治好激进的门徒所留下的伤口。耶稣接受了犹大背叛的亲嘴,也就是背负了那种伤害人的虚假友情。正是这个和祂一起同席吃饭的人,使祂上了十字架。


在黑暗的客西马尼,我们看到一个不曾期待看到的君王。不像别的在宝座上炫耀自己的王,我们看到一个受苦的主,祂经历了背叛所带来的痛苦和羞辱。


我们必须记住,祂这样受苦都是为了你和我,使我们得以存活。


 祷告

主啊,感谢祢为我承受了苦难和死亡,我心永远感谢,求祢使我对祢忠心到底。奉耶稣的名祷告。阿们!


普世佳音每日箴言

The Betrayal Kiss

Even my close friend, someone I trusted, one who shared my bread, has turned against me. — Psalm 41:9


 Devotion

Jesus and his disciples left the security of the upper room and walked outside the city to the Mount of Olives. And there, away from the crowds, he was betrayed. A kiss from Judas, one of his own chosen disciples, one who had learned from Jesus for the past few years, betrayed him to the officials who were seeking to destroy him. Jesus confronted Judas with his treason: Are you going to use the kiss of friendship to hand me over to the powers of darkness?


A kiss is not a sign of friendship when the one who delivers it is your enemy. Psalm 41 reminds us that false friendship is an ancient problem, especially among brothers: Cain killed Abel, Jacob deceived Esau, and Joseph’s brothers sold him into slavery.


The disciples’ reaction is understandable: put the opposition to the sword. But Jesus heals the cut-off ear, salving the wound made by a zealous disciple. In receiving Judas’s treasonous kiss, Jesus took on himself all the false friendships that embittered his people. The disloyalty of one who shared his table took him to the cross.


In dark Gethsemane, we see a king we don’t expect to see. Instead of a pompous ruler on a throne, we see our suffering Lord, who faces the humiliation of a bitter betrayal.


And we must remember that he suffered all this for you and me so that we might live.


 Prayer

Lord, thank you for enduring all this suffering and death for me. I am eternally grateful. Please help me be faithful, Lord. I pray in your name. Amen.
