每日箴言

耶稣看见了她



“耶稣看见,便叫过她来......” - 路 13:12

 灵修

也许大家都知道她是一个驼背女子。她定期来会堂敬拜神。但是人们是根据她的状况来认识她,而不是她作为神儿女的身份,甚至不是她的名字。


她的邻居以同情的眼神来看她。宗教领袖们看她是得罪神之人的样板,这困境是她应得的。她每逢安息日来到会堂都满了痛苦,她羞耻地弯着腰,渴望着从神而来那医治的活水。但是没有人注意到,也没有人真正看见她。


已过的十八年,宗教领袖们都没有在其他六天为她祷告,错过了为她抹油和祈求神医治的机会。他们更专注在遵守他们的宗教条例,而不是看见这个需要。他们忽略了带领以色列的一个女儿来到神的施恩宝座前。


但是耶稣看见了。当祂叫她过来时,她可能会认为祂叫的是别人。但耶稣是在叫她,她慢慢地向祂走去,耶稣看见她就像一个囚犯,急需从自己的重担下被释放。


我们这样看人们吗——那些劳苦担重担的人?我们有没有把他们带向耶稣以得了医治?今天,你能以何种方式为这样的人带去安慰和祷告呢?


 祷告

救主耶稣,我们经常努力维持表面,却错失施与怜悯的机会。求祢赦免并帮助我向困苦的人施怜悯。奉祢的名祷告,阿们。

普世佳音每日箴言

 He Saw Her 

When Jesus saw her, he called her forward… - Luke 13:12


Devotion


Everyone probably knew her as the bent-over woman. She came to worship at the synagogue regularly. But she was recognized by her condition, not her identity as a child of God or even by her name.


Her neighbors saw her through eyes of pity. The religious leaders saw her as an example of someone who was not right with God and deserved her plight. She came to the synagogue every Sabbath crippled with pain, bent over in shame, and thirsty for the living water of healing from God. Yet no one paid attention or really saw her.


For eighteen years the religious leaders failed to pray with her on the six days when they had every opportunity to anoint her with oil and pray for God’s healing. They were more focused on keeping their religious rules than seeing the need to bring a daughter of Israel before the mercy seat of God.


But Jesus saw her. When he called her forward, she might have thought he meant someone else. But Jesus was speaking to her, and she slowly shuffled toward him, who saw her as a prisoner in need of being set free from her burden.


Do we see people this way—burdened and distressed? Do we bring them to Jesus for healing? In what ways can you offer comfort and prayer for someone like that today?



 Prayer

Savior Jesus, so often we work hard to keep up appearances, and we sidestep opportunities for compassion. Forgive me and help me to show mercy to people in need. In your name, Amen.
