耶穌受審 (4)

耶穌受審 (4)
聖經閱讀：路加福音22:66-71 現代中譯本|合和本
2014年4月16日(三)

現在是清晨了，耶穌被帶到公會，也就是猶太人的最高法院。根據猶太律法，應該由公會來決定耶穌是否有罪。 　但那些猶太人有一個問題，他們說耶穌有罪是因為耶穌說祂是上帝的兒子，但是這樣的指控並不會被羅馬法庭所接受，他們必須用一個在羅馬法律會被判處死刑的罪名來指控祂。所以他們便說，耶穌自稱是王並且想要推翻政府。 　當我們觀察耶穌的受審，可以看出這幾次的審判很不公平，人們毀謗祂、鞭打祂、嘲笑祂。雖然經歷所有這些苦難，耶穌卻從來沒有犯罪，祂仍然謙卑並順服上帝。 　有時候人們也會對我們不公平，當這種事發生時，我們應該要記得耶穌謙卑、順服的榜樣。 －DF 「我們的大祭司並不是不能同情我們的軟弱。相反地，我們的大祭司曾經像我們一樣在各方面經歷過試探，只是他沒有犯罪。」 希伯來書4:15 禱告：上帝，謝謝祢賜下耶穌謙卑和順服的榜樣。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (林威妮譯)

Jesus’ Trials (4)
Bible Reading: Luke 22:66-71
Wednesday, April 16, 2014

It was now early morning. Jesus was led before the Sanhedrin, the highest court of the Jews. According to Jewish laws, the Sanhedrin should decide whether Jesus was innocent or guilty. 　But the Jews had a problem. They said Jesus was guilty because He said He was God’s Son. That charge would not be accepted in a Roman court. They needed to charge Jesus with a crime that could be punished by death according to Roman law. So they said that Jesus called himself a king and wanted to overthrow the government. 　When we look at Jesus’ trials, we can see that they were very unfair. People lied about Jesus, beat Him and mocked Him. But through all this, Jesus never sinned. He remained humble and obeyed God. 　Sometimes people are unfair to us, too. When that happens, we should remember Jesus’ example of humility and obedience. —DF “Jesus, our high priest, is able to understand our weaknesses. When Jesus lived on earth, he was tempted in every way. He was tempted in the same ways we are tempted, but he never sinned.” Hebrews 4:15 PRAYER: God, thank You for Jesus’ example of humility and obedience. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
