引言:好消息值得分享!
1.耶稣复活:新生命的开始 (V1-6)
耶稣在安息日后的第一天复活,带来了人类历史上最重要的转折点。这一事件不仅是耶稣对死亡的胜利,也标志着新生命的开始。天使挪开石头不是为了让耶稣出来,而是为了让人进去,亲眼见证空坟墓的事实。复活的主提醒我们,无论环境多绝望,祂都能带来新生与盼望。
2. 有好消息:需要有人传递 (V7-8)
天使告诉妇女们不要停留在空坟墓,而是将这个好消息传递给门徒们。这是大使命的开始:得着好消息的人就把它传递出去。
3. 复活的主:渴慕就能见到(V9-10)
抹大拉的马利亚和那个马利亚因渴慕而遇见复活的耶稣。主亲近那些真心寻求祂的人,也用祂的同在消除他们的恐惧。她们不仅听见,还亲身经历,这让她们的信心得到极大的鼓励。
1. 假消息的搅扰 (V11-15)
复活的好消息一出现,敌对的声音也随之而来。宗教领袖为了维护自己的利益,选择掩盖真相,制造假消息。我们在分享福音的时候,难免也会遇到这样的挑战,有人会说耶稣只是虚构、也有人或许会争辩耶稣没复活,但是不要气馁,谎言就像一片乌云遮住太阳,但真理终将像阳光刺破云层。!
2. 有疑惑的挑战 (V16-18)
门徒们见到复活的主,有人疑惑。耶稣主动靠近他们,消除疑虑。祂体谅我们的软弱,也愿意帮助我们建立信心。疑惑不可怕,停留在疑惑里才危险。
1. 走出去传福音
大使命的第一步是“去”,这表示主动行动,而不是等待机会上门。
2. 起来建立门徒
使人作主的门徒,不仅是个人的得救,而是持续的生命建造和传承。不是停在成为门徒,而是建立起来带门徒的门徒!不要满足于初信的状态,要不断成长,成为门徒并培养门徒。
3. 遵守主的吩咐
耶稣的吩咐是全面的,既包括认识祂的救恩,也包括顺服祂的权柄,活出祂的教导。
主耶稣复活的好消息不应该停在我们手上,而是要传到地极。让我们回应主的呼召,迈出步伐,把福音传递到我们的家庭、朋友和社会中,为祂的国度作见证。

The Enduring Great Commission

The Morning Devotion Speaker: IP Asher
Introduction:Good news is worth sharing!
(1) The Resurrection of Jesus: The Beginning of New Life (V1-6)
Jesus' resurrection on the first day after the Sabbath brought about the most important turning point in human history. This event was not only Jesus' victory over death but also marked the beginning of new life. The angel removed the stone not to let Jesus out, but to allow people to go in and witness with their own eyes the fact of the empty tomb. The risen Lord reminds us that no matter how desperate our circumstances, He can bring new life and hope.
(2) There is good news: someone needs to deliver it (V7-8)
The angel told the women not to stop at the empty tomb but to take the good news to the disciples. This is the beginning of the Great Commission: those who receive the good news pass it on.
(3) The resurrected Lord: long for it and you will see it (V9-10)
Mary Magdalene and that Mary longed to meet the resurrected Jesus. The Lord draws near to those who sincerely seek Him and uses His presence to dispel their fears. Not only did they hear it, but they experienced it themselves, which greatly encouraged their faith.
(1) The disturbance of false news (V11-15)
As soon as the good news of the resurrection comes, so does the voice of hostility. In order to protect their own interests, religious leaders choose to cover up the truth and create false news. When we share the gospel, we will inevitably encounter such challenges. Some people will say that Jesus is just a fiction, and some may argue that Jesus was not resurrected. But don’t be discouraged. Lies are like a dark cloud covering the sun, but the truth will eventually be like the sun pierced through the clouds!
(2) The challenge of doubt (V16-18)
When the disciples saw the resurrected Lord, some were confused. Jesus approached them and reassured them. He understands our weaknesses and is willing to help us build our faith. Doubts are not scary, but staying in doubt is dangerous.
(1) Go out and preach the gospel
The first step in the Great Commission is to “go,” which means taking the initiative rather than waiting for opportunity to knock your door.
(2) Rise up and make disciples
Making people disciples of the Lord is not only personal salvation, but also continuous life building and inheritance. Don’t stop at making disciples but make disciples who make disciples! Don’t be satisfied with your status as a new believer, keep growing, be disciples and make disciples.
(3) Obey the Lord’s instructions
Jesus’ command is comprehensive, including knowing His salvation, but also submitting to His authority and living out His teachings.
The good news of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus should not stop at our hands but should be spread to the ends of the earth. Let us respond to the Lord’s call and take steps to spread the gospel to our families, friends, and society to bear witness to His kingdom.
