路加福⾳ Luke 15:20
路加福⾳ 15:20 于是起来,往他⽗亲那⾥去。相离还远,他⽗ 亲看⻅,就动了慈⼼,跑去抱着他的颈项,连 连与他亲嘴。(现代标点和合本)
Luke 15:20 And he arose and came to his father. But when he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him. (NKJV)
当相离还远时,他的⽗亲看⻅了他,就动了慈⼼;⽗亲的⼼满满都是对他的爱。也许你觉得 ⾃⼰是⼀个失败者,不配得到神的祝福,但今天⽗神要对你说,祂对你动了慈⼼。你 看⻅了吗?浪⼦的⽗亲跑过去抱着他的颈项, 连连与他亲嘴。今天早上,是⽗神在跑向你。你能看⻅祂对你 的爱和怜悯吗?接下来发⽣了什么呢?⽗亲吩 咐仆⼈拿出上好的袍⼦给他穿上;然后把戒指 戴在他⼿上,表明恢复了他⾝为⼉⼦的⾝份;并把鞋⼦穿在他脚上,表明他不再是⼀个奴⾪了。然后,⽗亲吩咐仆⼈那肥⽜犊牵来宰了⼀同吃喝欢庆。这表明所有美好的事物仍然属于⼉⼦,并且那⼀天,他⾝为⼉⼦的所有权利都恢复了。 因此,是时候让我们醒悟并意识⽗神是何等爱我们;是时候意识到你⽣命中所 有美好的事物都是来⾃祂的祝福,⽽不是靠你⾃⼰的努⼒。每⼀件好事都是神所赐。圣经说,⼉⼥是耶和华所赐的产业,所怀的胎是祂所给的赏赐。有些⼈可能觉得⾃⼰不需要神, 因为在⽣活中⼀切事情都相当顺利。但事实 上,各样美好的赏赐都是来⾃神的赐福。祂是葡萄树,我们是枝⼦。当我们住在祂⾥⾯,祂 也住在我们⾥⾯时,我们就结出丰盛的果⼦。
When he was still a long way off, his father saw him and had compassion on him. His father’s heart was filled with love for him. Perhaps you think that you are a failure, and not worthy of God’s blessings but your Abba Father is telling you today that He has compassion for you. Can you see it? The prodigal son’s father ran and fell on his neck and kissed him. Your heavenly Father is running toward you this morning. Can you see his compassion and His love for you? What happened next? The father called for the servants to bring out a robe and put it on this son who had come back to him. He also told them to put a ring back on this prodigal son’s finger to show the restoration of his standing as a son, and sandals on his feet showing that he was not a slave. Then the father told the servants to bring out the fattened calf for a celebration. This showed that all the good things still belonged to the son and that day, all his rights as a son in the family was reinstated. It is time for us to realize how much our God loves us. It is time to realize that all the good things happening in your life are blessings from Him and not from your own effort. Every good thing comes from God. The bible says that your children are a reward from the Lord. It is a heritage which comes from Him. Some people may feel that they do not need God as everything is working well in their lives. But the truth is, every good thing comes from God. He is the vine and we are the branches. When we abide in Him and He in us, we will bear much fruit.
