凡事留一线
安息日的设立是为了造就人，而不是为了捆绑人。但法利赛人却以律法的名义盯着鸡蛋里挑骨头，甚至试图利用律法置人于死地。他们的行为本质是忘记了真正的权柄属于神。
耶稣用大卫的例子来回应：当大卫和跟随他的人饥饿时，神并未因他们吃了陈设饼而定罪。为什么？因为神的怜悯超越了律法的条文。祂是安息日的主，祂的恩典要赐给那些信靠祂的人。我们是否也曾因执着于规条，而忽略了人和神的关系？
耶稣在会堂里医治了一个枯干了一只手的人。法利赛人关注的并非病人的得医治，而是耶稣是否破坏了安息日的律法。他们的目光只停留在规条上，却忽略了生命的价值。
这里的核心问题是：在人生的选择中，我们的行动是为了讨神喜悦，还是为了满足自己的标准？耶稣告诉我们：“怜悯比献祭更重要。” 神看重的是我们内心的动机，而非外在的形式主义。
耶稣赶出污鬼，使一个又聋又哑的人得医治。然而法利赛人却将这神迹说成是“靠鬼王赶鬼”。他们的偏见让他们看不见神的作为，只顾着质疑耶稣的身份。他们心里装满了嫉妒，以至于无法辨认出神的荣耀。
今天，我们是否也有类似的倾向？当别人蒙神祝福时，我们是带着感恩的心，还是带着猜疑和嫉妒？
耶稣严厉提醒我们：亵渎圣灵的罪不得赦免，因为这表明一个人完全拒绝了神的工作。我们的言语反映出内心的状态，因此，我们需要不断查验自己的心是否充满圣灵的引导，而不是血气的冲动。
圣灵的同在带来智慧、忍耐和宽恕，让我们在面对挑战时不会轻易论断或伤害他人。
法利赛人要求耶稣显个神迹，好像在“测试”祂的真实。然而耶稣指出，他们的问题并不是缺乏神迹，而是缺乏信心。他们只想看到自己想要的，却拒绝接受神已经显明的作为。
我们是否也会有类似的心态？把信心建立在条件和要求上，而不是单纯地相信神的带领？
耶稣指出，单纯相信祂的人，就是祂的弟兄姐妹。这样的信心不是基于理性计算或条件交换，而是完全的信靠。关键在于调整生命的优先次序，将焦点放在神的心意上，而非自己的规条、偏见或条件。

GK611 Morning Devotion

The Morning Devotion Speaker: Ps Deborah
Always Leave Room
The Sabbath was instituted to benefit humanity, not to burden it. Yet the Pharisees, under the guise of upholding the law, sought fault in others and even used the law as a tool for condemnation. Their actions revealed a deeper issue—they had forgotten that true authority belongs to God.
Jesus responded with the example of David: when David and his companions were hungry, they ate the consecrated bread without condemnation. Why? Because God's mercy surpasses the law. He is the Lord of the Sabbath, and His grace is extended to those who trust in Him. Have we, too, ever been so fixated on rules that we overlooked the essence of our relationship with God and others?
In the synagogue, Jesus healed a man with a withered hand. The Pharisees, however, were not concerned about the man's healing but whether Jesus had violated the Sabbath law. Their focus was on rules, neglecting the value of life.
The key question here is: in our life's choices, are our actions aimed at pleasing God, or are they driven by our own standards? Jesus teaches us, “Mercy is more important than sacrifice.” God values the motivations of our hearts over external formalities.
When Jesus cast out a demon and healed a mute and deaf man, the Pharisees claimed He did so by the power of the prince of demons. Their prejudice blinded them to God's work and led them to question Jesus' identity. Filled with jealousy, they failed to recognize God's glory.
Do we harbor similar tendencies? When others receive God’s blessings, are we filled with gratitude, or do we respond with suspicion and envy?
Jesus gave a stern warning: the sin of blaspheming the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven. This reveals a heart that utterly rejects God's work. Our words reflect the state of our hearts. Therefore, we must continually examine whether our hearts are led by the Holy Spirit or dominated by fleshly impulses.
The presence of the Holy Spirit brings wisdom, patience, and forgiveness, enabling us to face challenges without resorting to rash judgments or harming others.
The Pharisees demanded a sign from Jesus, as though they were “testing” His authenticity. Jesus revealed their true problem: it wasn’t a lack of signs but a lack of faith. They sought only what they wanted to see and rejected what God had already revealed.
Do we sometimes adopt a similar mindset, basing our faith on conditions and demands rather than simply trusting in God’s guidance?
Jesus declared that those who simply believe in Him are His brothers and sisters. This faith is not based on calculated reasoning or conditional exchanges but on complete trust. The key lies in adjusting the priorities of our lives, focusing on God's will rather than our own rules, prejudices, or demands.
