路加福音［第11章］|Book of Luke 11【连接生命树，走上光明路】
09/11/2023
引言:
耶稣教导门徒如何与神连接，使他们与神建立关系，并让神的子民可以出黑暗而进入光明。
一、与神连接的祷告（v1-13）
1.合神心意的祷告（v1-4)
耶稣让门徒领会什么是合神心意的祷告。从亲密的称呼到生活的各个层面都带到父神那里，并相信神会垂听并保守及供应。
2.倾心吐意的祷告（v5-8）
很多时候我们祷告最大的困难，不是神不愿垂听，而是我们不知道自己的需要，以致我们祷告只是堆砌文章、敷衍了事。然而，神要的祷告，是在祂面前「倾心吐意」，承认自己一无所有、一无所能，只能诚实倚靠祂！
3.成就神意的祷告(v9-13)
耶稣所教导的祷告，并不是为了让我们摇动神的手，而是让我们自己的心意行在天上；而是为了让我们抓紧神的手，让神的旨意行在我们的身上。因此，当我们寻求祂的时候，祂必然会让我们得着并寻见自己真正所需要的。
二、定意让圣灵掌管（v14-26）
我们不可一边经历神的大能，又一边悖逆不顺服神，像文士和法利赛人那样，试探耶稣。愿我们不要只是求神的国降临，而是要真实的经历神的国并让圣灵掌管我们的生命，使我们从黑暗走出来，并活在光中。
三、听神话语遵神道（v27-32）
耶稣在这里带出，唯有遵守神道才是真福。
耶稣要让以色列子民看见，那不认识神的外邦人尚且付出代价寻求智慧、听了真道就立刻悔改，选民却对神的话语听而不行，还再继续要求用「从天上来的神迹」来证明基督。因此，我们当听从并遵行神的话。
四、光明国度的生活（v33-54）
耶稣就是世界的光，要照亮活在黑暗中的人。这正如人点灯是为了照明，主耶稣也没有把光藏起来，而是明明地照在人的眼前。所以，我们要时时省察自己里面是否有光，否则恐怕「里头的光，或者黑暗了」而不自知，不但不能因着主的话语和作为来认识主，而且还会像法利赛人一样，外面看似光明、里面充满黑暗。
总结：
我们要反思，当祷告时我们说：'我们在天上的父'，我们与神的关系到底是怎样的呢？ 我们有没有让圣灵的能力临到我们身上，赶走我们生命中的黑暗或问题？
愿我们每个人的生命都连接生命树，使我们走在光明的道路！
Luke 11 Connecting to the Tree of Life and Walk Towards the Path of Light
GK611 Morning Devotion
9/11/2023
The Morning Devotion Speaker: Ps. Stella Ling
Introduction：
Jesus taught His disciples how to connect with God so that they would have a relationship with Him and so that God's people could come out of darkness and into the light.
1. Prayers of Connection with God (v1-13)
a. Prayer after God's own heart (v1-4)
Jesus gave His disciples an understanding of what God-pleasing prayer is. Bringing it to God the Father from intimate address to all aspects of life and trusting God to hear and keep and provide.
b. Outpouring prayer (v5-8)
Often the greatest difficulty in our prayers is not that God does not want to hear us, but that we do not know our own needs, so that our prayers are just a pile of words and superficial. However, the kind of prayer that God wants is to "outpouring hearts" before Him, recognising that you have nothing and can do nothing, and that you can only rely on Him honestly!
c. Prayer that accomplishes God's will (v9-13)
The prayer Jesus taught is not so much for us to shake God's hand and let our own minds walk in heaven; rather, it is for us to take hold of God's hand and let His will be done in us. Therefore, when we seek Him, He will inevitably allow us to get and find what we really need.
2. Determining to let the Holy Spirit rule (v14-26)
We must not experience the power of God and at the same time be rebellious and disobedient to God, tempting Jesus as the scribes and Pharisees did. May we not just ask for the coming of the kingdom of God, but experience the kingdom of God in truth and allow the Holy Spirit to rule our lives, so that we may come out of darkness and live in the light.
3. Hearing God's Word and obeying it (v27-32)
Jesus brings out here that the only true blessing is to keep the Word of God.
Jesus wanted the children of Israel to see that while the Gentiles, who did not know God, paid the price of seeking wisdom, and repented when they heard the truth, the elect listened to the Word of God but did not obey it, and continued to demand proof of Christ in the form of "a sign from heaven". Therefore, let us hear and obey God's Word.
4. Life in the Kingdom of Light (v33-54)
Jesus is the light of the world to illuminate those who live in darkness. This is just as a man lights a lamp for illumination, so the Lord Jesus did not hide the light, but shone plainly before the eyes of men. Therefore, we need to examine ourselves at all times to see if there is light within us, or else I am afraid that "the light which is in you is darkened" without realizing it, and not only will we not be able to come to know the Lord by His words and works, but we will also be like the Pharisees, who appeared to be light on the outside, but were full of darkness on the inside.
Conclusion：
We need to reflect on what our relationship with God is really like when in prayer we say, 'Our Father who art in heaven'. Have we allowed the power of the Holy Spirit to come upon us and cast out the darkness or problems in our lives?
May each of our lives be connected to the Tree of Life so that we walk in the path of light!
