聖經閱讀：約翰福音8:1-11 現代中譯本|合和本
2014年3月18日(二)
今天的經文告訴我們耶穌到聖殿教導人，一些猶太領袖帶了一個女人來找耶穌，這個女人「是在行淫時被抓到的」（第3b節）。猶太律法說，這樣的女人應該用石頭打死，但這些領袖並不在乎猶太律法，「他們想用這話陷害耶穌，找把柄控告他」（第6a節）。然後，耶穌做了一件奇怪的事，祂開始用手指頭在地上寫字。我們並不知道耶穌寫了什麼，最後耶穌站了起來，說：「你們當中誰沒有犯過罪，誰就先拿石頭打她」（第7b節）。那些人就一個一個溜走了，為什麼呢？因為他們都知道自己也是罪人。 在這個故事中，耶穌給了我們一個憐憫人的榜樣。我們不應該去定人的罪，我們反而應該去愛他們，並且幫助他們透過耶穌找到救恩。今天就向你所遇到的人施憐憫。 －BH 「耶穌說：『好，我也不定你的罪。去吧，別再犯罪！』」 約翰福音8:11b
禱告：主，我願向人施憐憫，也請幫助我向他們分享耶穌的福音。奉主的名，阿們！

Helping a Woman (6)
Bible Reading: John 8:1-11

Our Bible verses tell us that Jesus went to the temple to teach. Some Jewish leaders brought a woman to Jesus. This woman had been “caught in bed with a man who was not her husband” (verse 3b). The Jewish law said that this woman should be stoned to death. But the leaders did not care about the Jewish law. “They were saying this to trick Jesus. They wanted to catch him saying something wrong so they could have a charge against him” (verse 6a). Then Jesus did something strange. He started writing on the ground with His finger. We do not know what Jesus wrote. Finally Jesus stood up and said, “Anyone here who has never sinned should throw the first stone at her” (verse 7). The men walked away. Why? Because they all knew that they were sinners, too. In this story, Jesus gave us a wonderful example of compassion. Instead of condemning people, we should love them and help them find salvation through Jesus. Show compassion to people you meet today. —BH “Then Jesus said, ‘I don’t judge you either. You can go now, but don’t sin again.’” John 8:11b
PRAYER: Lord, I want to show compassion to people. Help me share the Good News about Jesus with them, too. In His name. Amen. |
