马可福音［第二章］|Gospel of Mark 2【施恩赦罪召罪人的主】
16/06/2022
引言：
耶稣说：我来乃是召罪人。在神眼里，没有义人，连一个也没有，人人需要主。所以，主是要来召所有的人，拯救所有的人！
一、瘫子得医治得赦罪（V1-12）
耶稣见到瘫子和4个抬瘫子的朋友们的信心，就对瘫子说：小子，你的罪赦了。因为耶稣知道人真正的的需要是什么。人真正的问题是因为罪恶，耶稣直接解决了这个问题。
病得医治、问题得解决、只是治标；唯有罪得赦免才是治本! 福音就是我们的罪可以得到主耶稣的赦免!
二、人子爱罪人召罪人（V13-17）
主耶稣在人群中看见税吏利未这个孤独的罪人，于是主动地呼召利未，结果是利未跟随了耶稣，并且邀请他的朋友们都来认识耶稣。
税吏和罪人是被一般人鄙视的，但主偏偏就要寻找他们。最麻烦的人就是主最想接触和得着的人。今天主还在寻找罪人，要拯救改变罪人的生命。
三、宗教领袖得听主训（V18-28）
主耶稣爱世人，当然也爱文士和法利赛人。主虽然知道这些宗教领袖反对祂，但是仍然耐心地解答他们的责难，让他们得听真理的奥秘。
1. 新郎还在无须禁食（V18-20）
主耶稣用结婚的比喻回答法利赛人指责祂没有叫门徒禁食。表明门徒们活在与主同在时，就该尽情地与主‘面对面’喜乐的交流，而不必凭借禁食的仪式寻求主。
但是，将来新郎要离开，那时他们就要禁食。比喻教会如新妇在等待新郎基督随时回来迎娶。基督还未回来时，我们要禁食预备自己，预备主再来与祂坐在永恒的筵席中！
2. 衣服和酒袋的比喻（V21-22）
法利赛人的旧观念看不惯、听不进主耶稣的新教训。所以，主耶稣用新布与旧衣，新酒与旧皮袋两个比喻来说明，主来是要开创一个新的属灵生活方式。主不是要拒绝旧的，是要旧的不要否定新的。
3.安息日是为人设立（V23-28）
主耶稣要法利赛明白律法的‘精意’比‘字意’更重要。安息日是为人设立的，人不是为安息日设立的，所以，安息日的设立，重点是为人的好处，而不是为压制人。
总结:
主耶稣到世上来，不是为了别的，乃是为了救世人！但是，自义的宗教领袖听了主的教训，却是听不进不认主。我们今天也听到了真理，也知道主有医治的良药；我们是否有按时吃药，还是把良药搁在一边没有服用。不服药而病死，还算小事；不信靠主则是灵魂永远灭亡的结果！
Mark 2: The Lord Who Forgives Sins and Calls for Sinners
GK611 Morning Devotion
16/6/2022
Speaker: Ps Daniel Kew + Rev David Tan
Introduction:
Jesus said, "I came to call sinners. There is no righteous in the eyes of God, not even one, and everyone needs the Lord. Therefore, the Lord came to call all men and to save all men!
1. The healing and the forgiveness of sins of the paralytic (V1-12)
When Jesus saw the faith of the paralytic and the four friends who carried him, he said to him, "Son, your sins are forgiven. For Jesus knew what the real need of man was. The real problem of man is because of sin, and Jesus directly solves this problem.
The healing of the sick and the solution of the problem are only the symptoms; the only cure is the forgiveness of sins! The gospel is that our sins can be forgiven by the Lord Jesus!
2. The Son of Man loves sinners and calls the sinners (V13-17)
Jesus saw Levi the tax collector, a lonely sinner, in the crowd and took the initiative to call Levi, who ended up following Jesus and inviting all his friends to come and know him.
Tax collectors and sinners were despised by the general public, but the Lord was looking for them. The most troublesome people were the ones the Lord most wanted to reach and gain access to. Today the Lord is still looking for sinners to save and change their lives.
3. Religious leaders must hear the Lord's teaching (V18-28)
Jesus loved the world, and certainly loved the scribes and Pharisees. Although He knew that these religious leaders opposed Him, He patiently answered their rebukes and let them hear the mystery of truth.
(1) Fasting is unnecessary when bridegroom is around （V18-20）
Jesus used the parable of the wedding to answer the Pharisees' accusation that He had not told His disciples to fast. It shows that when the disciples live in the presence of the Lord, they should enjoy joyful communion with Him 'face to face' without seeking Him through the ritual of fasting.
But in the future the bridegroom will leave, and then they will have to fast. The analogy is that the church is like a bride waiting for Christ, the bridegroom, to return at any moment to marry her. Before Christ returns, we must fast and prepare ourselves for the Lord's return to sit with Him at the eternal banquet!
(2) The parable of the cloth and the wineskins (V21-22)
The old ideas of the Pharisees could not see or hear the new teaching of the Lord Jesus. Therefore, Jesus used the parables of the new cloth and the old garment, and the new wine and the old leather bag to illustrate that the Lord came to start a new way of spiritual life. The Lord did not want to reject the old, but to ask the old not to deny the new.
(3) The Sabbath was established for man (V23-28)
Jesus wanted the Pharisees to understand that the 'essence' of the law was more important than the 'meaning of the word'. The Sabbath was established for man, and man was not established for the Sabbath. Therefore, the Sabbath was established with the focus on the good of man, not for the suppression of man.
Conclusion:
The Lord Jesus came into the world for no other reason than to save the world! However, the self-righteous religious leaders have heard the Lord's teaching, but they do not hear and deny Him. We have heard the truth today, and we know that the Lord has a healing remedy, but do we take our medicine on time, or do we put it aside and not take it? To die of sickness without taking the medicine is a small matter, but not to trust in the Lord is the result of eternal destruction of the soul!
