耶穌受審 (2)

耶穌被捉拿，一群士兵把祂帶到亞那面前，亞那從前曾經是猶太的大祭司。 　我們必須記得，當時的猶太宗教領袖跟耶穌的關係並不好，耶穌常稱他們是偽善的人，因為他們並不是真的愛上帝、服事上帝。約翰福音第2章說，耶穌進入聖殿，驅趕販賣動物以及兌換銀錢的人，而那些猶太宗教領袖並不喜歡這樣的事，他們想要掌控發生在聖殿中的所有事，也想要從兌換銀錢的人那裡獲得金錢。 　所以耶穌就站在恨惡祂、想要置祂於死的亞那面前。在問了幾個問題之後，亞那就把耶穌送到當時的大祭司該亞法那裡。明天我們會更深入來談那一次的審判。 　你們務必不要像這些猶太領袖，而要每天愛上帝、服事上帝。 －DF 「耶穌回答：『我對人講話一向都是公開的…從來沒有暗地裡講甚麼。』」 約翰福音18:20a 禱告：父神，我願全心來愛祢並服事祢。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (林威妮譯)

Jesus’ Trials (2)
Bible Reading: John 18:12-14, 19-24
Monday, April 14, 2014

Jesus was arrested, and a group of soldiers took Him to Annas. Annas had been a Jewish high priest in the past. 　We need to remember that the Jewish religious leaders and Jesus did not get along very well. Often Jesus called these men hypocrites because they did not really love and serve God. John, chapter 2, tells that Jesus went into the temple. He drove out people who were selling animals and exchanging money. The Jewish religious leaders did not like this. They wanted to be in control of everything that happened in the temple. They also wanted to receive money for themselves from the money exchangers. 　So Jesus stood before Annas, who hated Him and wanted Him to die. After asking some questions, Annas sent Jesus to Caiaphas, who was the high priest at that time. Tomorrow we will talk more about that trial. 　Be sure that you are not like the Jewish leaders. Love and serve God every day. —DF “Jesus answered, ‘I have always spoken openly to all people...I never said anything in secret.’” John 18:20a PRAYER: Father, I want to love and serve You with all my heart. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
