引言:

马拉松


一、被差遣是有供应的

1. 门徒是被差遣的(v.1-4)

耶稣召了十二个门徒,列出他们每一位的名字,赐给他们赶鬼和医病的权柄,这不是因为被 呼召得着的恩典,这意味着他们参与了耶稣的使命。耶稣叫了就必然会给他们权柄,主耶稣 所召的工人,祂必负责赐给足够的能力,主的呼召与托付从不超过祂恩典的预备。

2. 门徒的路祂指引(v.5-15)

神的差遣都有祂的计划。耶稣指示门徒去寻找以色列家迷失的羊,显示神对拯救迷失之人的 心意。祂教导门徒要带着简朴的心态去侍奉,依靠神的供应,而不是依赖自己的资源。门徒 要为接待他们的人带去平安,同时若遇到拒绝福音的城市,要转身离去,把审判交给神


二、被差遣有挑战与代价

1. 有试探有攻击(v.16-20)

耶稣提醒门徒将如羊进入狼群,需“灵巧像蛇,驯良像鸽子”。这是智慧与纯洁的结合。 面对逼迫时,门徒们无需担忧,因为圣灵会在关键时刻赐下话语。

2. 忍耐到底的代价(v.21-23)

耶稣提醒门徒,他们可能因信仰被亲友背叛,但得救的关键在于“忍耐到底”。门徒在面对逼 迫时,虽然面对拒绝但要凭信心持续宣扬神国的福音,不被恐惧和压力拦阻。


三、真跟随真谦卑顺服
1. 谦卑承认主(v.24-33)

徒不可高过夫子,若耶稣遭受逼迫,门徒也将面临同样的处境。承认基督的人,耶稣将在天 父面前承认他们。面对外界的压力和嘲讽时,我们是否愿意坦然承认我们是基督徒?

2. 顺服背起十字架 (v.34-39)

耶稣强调,跟随祂意味着割舍自我,甚至已经预备他们的心,以后面对的可能是殉道。因为 要与世俗价值观对立,并背起自己的十字架(v.38)。愿意为主失去生命的人,必得着真正的 生命。


四、门徒的奖赏(v.40-42)

耶稣应许,接待门徒的,将得门徒的赏赐;哪怕是一杯凉水的恩待,也不会失去赏赐。神看 重我们每一个小小的行为,祂必记念我们为祂所做的一切。无论我们是否在前线服事,或是 支持者,每一份忠心都被神看见并记念。


总结:

耶稣在马太福音第 10 章中清楚地提醒我们,跟随祂是一条充满挑战却充满盼望的道路。祂不仅呼 召我们成为祂的门徒,还赐给我们权柄和能力面对挑战,最终以丰盛的奖赏回应我们的忠心。



Matthew Chapter 10

"True Following, True Price, and True Reward"

Introduction:

Marathon


1. Being sent is provided for

(1) Disciples are sent (v.1-4)

Jesus called the twelve disciples, listed each of them by name, and gave them the authority to cast out demons and heal the sick. This was not because of the grace of calling, which meant that they participated in Jesus' mission. When Jesus calls, he will definitely give them authority. He will be responsible for giving sufficient power to the workers called by the Lord Jesus. The Lord’s calling and entrustment will never exceed His grace’s provision.

(2) He guides the disciples’ path (v.5-15)

God’s missions all have a plan. Jesus instructs his disciples to find the lost sheep of the house of Israel, showing God’s intention to save the lost people. He taught his disciples to serve with simplicity, relying on God’s provision rather than relying on their own resources. The disciples should bring peace to those who receive them. At the same time, if they encounter a city that rejects the gospel, they should turn away and leave judgment to God.

2. Being sent has challenges and costs
(1) There are temptations and attacks (v.16-20)

Jesus reminded his disciples that they would be like sheep among wolves and needed to be “wise as serpents and harmless as doves.” It is a combination of wisdom and purity. When facing persecution, the disciples need not worry because the Holy Spirit will give words at critical moments.

(2) The price of enduring to the end (v.21-23)

Jesus reminds his disciples that they may be betrayed by their friends and relatives because of their faith, but the key to salvation is to “endure to the end.” When disciples face persecution, they must continue to preach the gospel of the kingdom of God by faith despite facing rejection and not be hindered by fear and pressure.

3. True following, true humility and obedience

(1) Humbly acknowledge the Lord (v.24-33)

A disciple is not above his Master. If Jesus suffered persecution, the disciples would also face the same situation. Those who acknowledge Christ, Jesus will acknowledge them before the Father. In the face of pressure and ridicule from the outside world, are we willing to openly admit that we are Christians?

(2) Obey and take up the cross (v.34-39)

Jesus emphasized that following Him meant giving up oneself, and even prepared their hearts for the possibility of persecution in the future. Because need to oppose worldly values and take up one's own cross (v.38). Those who are willing to lose their lives for the Lord will gain true life.

4. Disciple’s Reward (v.40-42)

Jesus promised that those who welcome disciples will receive the reward of disciples; even if they receive a glass of cold water, they will not lose their reward. God values every little deed we do, and He will remember everything we do for Him. Whether we serve on the front lines or are supporters, every loyalty is seen and remembered by God.

Conclusion:

Jesus clearly reminds us in Matthew 10 that following Him is a path full of challenges but full of hope. Not only does He call us to be His disciples, He gives us the authority and ability to face challenges and ultimately respond to our faithfulness with abundant rewards.
