【迎接和平君王的到来】
GK611 晨祷生命读经

当耶稣进入耶路撒冷时，人们高喊‘和散那’，期待一位推翻罗马统治的弥赛亚，却迎来了骑驴的和平君王。这反映了他们对耶稣的误解，将祂视为政治救主，而非灵性救赎者。
这段经文提醒我们要调整期待，以正确态度迎接耶稣。不因期待与神的计划不同而失望，祂往往带来超出预期的真正和平与救赎，同时塑造我们的信心。
耶稣来到耶路撒冷，就进入圣殿，赶出殿里一切作买卖的人。耶稣不仅洁净了圣殿，还医治了瞎子和瘸子，使圣殿重新成为一个充满医治和恩典的地方。
耶稣清理圣殿是为恢复其本质。同样，当祂进入我们的生命，会调整我们的优先次序与价值观，为的是让我们更深经历祂的同在与祝福。你愿意让祂洁净你的内心，成为祂的居所吗？
耶稣咒诅无花果树因其只长叶不结果，象征外表敬虔却缺乏真实信仰的人。祂借此教导门徒信心的力量，强调“信心加祷告”能成就不可能的事。
我们的生命是否也像这棵树，外表看似良好却缺乏属灵果实？真实信仰应结出爱、喜乐、和平等果子，而非停留在外表。当遇到挑战时，要凭信心祷告，顺服神的引导，而非依赖自己的计划。
耶稣进入圣殿教导，祭司长和长老质问祂的权柄来源，试图用他们的权威来压制祂。耶稣用智慧反问，让宗教领袖无法回答，揭示了他们内心的虚伪和不信。
如果我们故意拒绝主的权柄，祂可能就不再对我们说话，甚至我们会错过祂的计划。但当我们让耶稣掌管生命，不仅能迎接祂的到来，还能让祂的荣耀通过我们展现出来！
耶稣讲了两个儿子的比喻，提醒我们：信仰要表里如一，空谈和做做样子没用，关键是发自内心地遵行天父的旨意。信仰和行动分离，就是误解了福音；真正相信神，就会以行动回应神。
耶稣接着讲了一个恶园户的比喻，告诉我们神的祝福将转向那些忠于神托付的子民。
主已经将恩赐和才干赐给我们，只要忠心运用各自的恩赐，无论收成五千还是二千，都能得到主的喜悦和称赞：又好又忠心的仆人，做得好！
迎接2025年固然重要，但更重要的是迎接耶稣的呼召！新的一年，让我们调整内心的期待，以行动回应主的呼召，让生活彰显主的荣耀！
Matthew Chapter 21：
Welcoming the King of Peace
GK611 Morning Devotion
07/01/2025
The Morning Devotion Speaker: Ps Daniel
As Jesus entered Jerusalem, the people shouted “Hosanna,” expecting a Messiah who would overthrow Roman rule. Instead, they encountered a King of peace riding on a donkey. This revealed their misunderstanding of Jesus, viewing Him as a political savior rather than a spiritual Redeemer.
This passage reminds us to align our expectations with God’s plans and welcome Jesus with the right attitude. Even when His plans differ from ours, He brings true peace and salvation, exceeding our expectations and strengthening our faith.
When Jesus entered Jerusalem, He went into the temple and drove out those trading goods. Not only did He cleanse the temple, but He also healed the blind and the lame, restoring the temple as a place of healing and grace.
Jesus’ cleansing of the temple was to restore its original purpose. Similarly, when He enters our lives, He realigns our priorities and values, allowing us to experience His presence and blessings more deeply. Will you invite Him to cleanse your heart and make it His dwelling place?
Jesus cursed the fig tree for bearing leaves without fruit, symbolizing those who appear godly outwardly but lack genuine faith. He taught His disciples about the power of faith, emphasizing that “faith with prayer” can accomplish the impossible.
Is your life like the fig tree, outwardly impressive but spiritually barren? True faith produces fruits such as love, joy, and peace. When faced with challenges, rely on God through faith and prayer rather than your own plans.
When Jesus was teaching in the temple, the chief priests and elders questioned His authority. Using wisdom, Jesus silenced them, exposing their hypocrisy and unbelief.
If we reject Jesus’ authority, we risk missing His voice and His plans for us. But when we surrender to Him, His glory shines through our lives.
In the parable of the two sons, Jesus emphasized that true faith involves obedience to the Father’s will, not just empty words. Faith without action misunderstands the gospel; genuine belief leads to obedient action.
In the parable of the wicked vinedressers, Jesus taught that God’s blessings would be entrusted to those who faithfully steward His work.
God has entrusted us with gifts and talents. Whether we yield fivefold or twofold, faithfulness brings His commendation: “Well done, good and faithful servant!”
As we enter 2025, besides welcoming the new year, it is more important to prepare our hearts to welcome Jesus’ call. Let us adjust our expectations, respond with action, and glorify Him in our lives. May this year reflect His presence and purpose in everything we do!
