马可福音［第一章］|Gospel of Mark 1【耶稣在世上的服事】
15/06/2022
引言：马可福音启示了神的儿子，耶稣基督降卑自己来服事人。
一、福音的起头（V1-8）
福音就是好消息，就是耶稣。因此，当耶稣来到世上，祂要带来转化，而祂也是一切问题的答案。
二、胜过了试探（V9-13）
主耶稣到旷野四十天，接受撒但的试探并胜过试探，显明主耶稣是神的爱子（V11）。神也允许借着我们所面对的试探，显明我们是可以靠着神的话语而经历得胜。
三、宣扬神福音（V14-15）
「日期满了」指根据神救赎的计划，差遣祂儿子耶稣基督建立神国的时机已经成熟了。这里，我们发现耶稣很看重神工作的时间表，明白神的心意，并清楚知道祂奉差来到世上的目的。主耶稣受差遣到人中间来，最中心的服事乃是要挽回人，恢复人和神的关系。
四、呼召人跟随（V16-20）
彼得、安得烈、雅各和约翰，这四个渔夫除了打鱼没有什么特别的技能，而鱼网和船是他们唯一的生活倚靠。然而，当耶稣呼召他们，他们就「立刻」和「跟从」，马上的回应。
五、服事的榜样（V21-45）
1.传神话语（V21-22）
用神的话语去服事人，把人带回到神的权柄之下。我们会发现，耶稣的教训是出于神，而不是凭着自己说的。
2.赶出污鬼（V23-27）
污鬼虽然认识耶稣基督是「神的圣者」（V24），牠好像是把荣耀和称赞归于主，但主耶稣却拒绝接受邪灵为祂作见证，因为这见证的源头不是出于神。牠们不但没有把人领到神面前，反而会迷惑人，混乱主的所是和所作，模糊神与鬼的界线。因此，耶稣就把污鬼从人身上赶出。
3.权能医治（V28-31）
耶稣用能力来医治人，让人能起来服事。耶稣可以医生人身上的病痛，也可以医治人心里的忧伤。
4.进入安息（V32-39）
人都是看重肉身的需要、眼前的好处，主耶稣却要让人看重神的心意过于肉身的需要，注意永恒的事情过于眼前的好处，把人带回到神永远的计划里。耶稣退到旷野去，进入安息并寻求神的心意。
5.恩慈怜悯（V40-45）
主耶稣道成肉身、来到地上服事人，最主要的目的并不是医病赶鬼、解决人肉身的需要，而是宣传神的福音。然而，祂还是对那急迫寻求医治的麻风病人，伸出了怜悯的手，医治他。
总结：
弟兄姐妹，当我们看见耶稣在世上的服事，我们是否也愿意回应神的呼召，学向祂一样的服事呢？
Mark 1: Jesus' ministry in the world
GK611 Morning Devotion
15/6/2022
Speaker: Ps Stella Ling + Rev David Tan
Introduction: Mark's gospel reveals that the Son of God, Jesus Christ, humbled himself to serve.
1. The Beginning of the Gospel (V1-8)
The gospel is the good news, which is Jesus. Therefore, when Jesus came into the world, He wanted to bring transformation, and He is the answer to all problems.
2. Overcoming Temptation (V9-13)
Jesus went into the wilderness for forty days, accepting Satan's temptation and overcoming it, revealing that He is the beloved Son of God (V11). God also allows the temptations we face to reveal that we can experience victory through the Word of God.
3. Proclaiming the gospel of God (V14-15)
The "time is fulfilled" refers to the fact that the time was ripe to send His Son Jesus Christ to establish the Kingdom of God according to God's plan of salvation. Here we find that Jesus was mindful of the timetable of God's work, understood the mind of God, and knew clearly the purpose for which He had been sent into the world. The central ministry of the Lord Jesus, when He was sent to men, was to redeem them and restore their relationship with God.
4. Calling people to follow (V16-20)
Peter, Andrew, James and John, the four fishermen, had no special skills except fishing, and their nets and boats were their only means of support. However, when Jesus called them, they responded "immediately" and "followed".
5. An example of service (V21-45)
(1) Preach the Word of God (V21-22)
Use the Word of God to minister to people and bring them back under the authority of God. We will find that Jesus' teaching is from God and not by His own words.
(2) Casting out the unclean spirit (V23-27)
Although the unclean spirits know Jesus Christ as "the Holy One of God" (24), and they seem to give glory and praise to the Lord, the Lord Jesus refuses to accept the evil spirits as witnesses for Him, for the source of this witness is not of God. Instead of leading people to God, they would confuse them, confound what the Lord is and does, and blur the line between God and demons. Therefore, Jesus drove out the unclean spirits from men.
(3) Power to Heal (V28-31)
Jesus uses power to heal people so that they can rise up and serve. Jesus can heal the sicknesses of the body and the sorrows of the heart.
(4) Entering into rest (V32-39)
While men look to the needs of the flesh and immediate benefits, the Lord Jesus wanted to make men look to the mind of God more than the needs of the flesh, to pay attention to eternal things more than immediate benefits, and to bring them back to the eternal plan of God. Jesus withdrew into the wilderness, entered into rest and sought God's heart.
(5) Graciousness and Mercy (V40-45)
The primary purpose of Jesus' incarnation and ministry on earth was not to heal the sick and cast out demons, or to address man's physical needs, but to proclaim the gospel of God. Nevertheless, He extended His hand of mercy to the leper who was desperately seeking healing, and healed him.
Conclusion:
Brothers and sisters, when we see Jesus' ministry in the world, are we willing to respond to God's call and learn to serve in the same way He did?
