撒母耳记下［第12章］|Book of 2 Samuel 12

【知错肯改的大卫王】

主讲: 谭天恩弟兄

22/09/2023


引言：知错能改，善莫大焉。

一、神借比喻提醒大卫（12:1-6）

先知用比喻引导大卫以客观的态度对事件做出回应，因而自定己罪。同时也表明拿单的故事实际上是一面镜子，要让大卫从中看到自己、认清自己的本相。虽然大卫还陷在罪中不能自拔，但对镜子中的罪人却是义愤填膺、反应激烈，并且按照神的律法做出了公义的判决。

活在肉体里的人并不是不知道罪，也不是不明白真理，而是「严以待人、宽以律己」，总喜欢借着定罪别人来摆脱自己良心的指控。因此，这句话也是神对我们说的：当我们大义凛然地定罪别人的时候，首先应当反省自己，看看自己是不是「那人」！

二、大卫被神严厉责备（12:7-14）

1. 你是那人（V7a）

劝谏君王的风险很大，很容易「打虎不着，反被虎伤」。但拿单却没有拐弯抹角，而是直接了当地发出了那句伟大的控告：「你就是那人」！这不但是因为拿单对神的忠心，也是因为他知道大卫对神的敬畏。

一个属灵成熟的人，不是一个不会犯罪的人，是犯罪以后仍然愿意接受批评、也让人敢于批评的人。人若地位、声望或脾气到了一个地步，以致谁都不敢批评自己，恐怕不是被神任凭、就是由神自己来批评了。

2. 数算神恩（V7b-9）

膏你、救你、给你、交在你怀里、赐给你」。这五个动词，数算神向大卫所施的恩典，同时谴责大卫藐视恩典、不肯知足。（V8）「将你主人的妻交在你怀里」，并不是说大卫把扫罗的妻妾纳入宫中，而是比喻大卫继承扫罗的王位。因为按照当时的风俗，新王有权继承前王的妻妾。

神的恩典总是够我们用的，但我们的犯罪也常常和大卫一样，并不是因为缺乏什么，而是因为藐视恩典，所以体贴肉体、放纵肉体的情欲。神借着大卫的失败，让我们看到了自己肉体本相的顽固和可怕。即使是合神心意的大卫，只要不警醒，在神的命令上懈怠，照样可能犯下大罪。

3. 整合生命（V10-14）

大卫经过先知的提醒，立即承认过错。大卫的谦卑，肯坦白认罪是他可取之处，因而神赦免他的罪。

在生活中要常常谦卑自己，当我们的组长、牧师师母、或者我们在上的权柄，指出我们生命中的缺陷时，不足时，要谦卑接受并且及时悔改。同时更要求神指出我们生命中的阴暗面，让我们的生命被神整合。里面与外面真的一致。就像牧师在主日传递的信息一样，男人回家，女人归正，活出基督，荣耀基督。

三、明白神旨重张旗鼓（12:15-31）

1. 罪果必除（V15-25）

大卫逼切的为孩子祷告，虽然拿单先知明明指出这孩子必死，但他仍没有停止向神的呼求。可能他想彻底地为自己的罪过求神赦免；也可能他为孩子的灵魂祷告，孩子是无罪的，却要承受父母犯错而带来的报应。大卫为自己所犯的罪付上代价，神取去他与拔示巴因行淫而得的儿子，因为凡是从罪恶所生的都要被对付、除去。

大卫的表现令人惊奇，对神确定的信念使他顺服神的安排，并且接受管教；这种信心，神不但欣赏并且加倍的赐福。这段婚姻本是污秽的，但经神校正后却生了一个神所喜爱的儿子来。

2. 重张旗鼓（V26～31）

大卫检讨失败的原因是由于贪图安逸的生活；他醒悟了，于是再亲自领兵出征，攻取敌人的京城。 这里让我们看到，神必惩治犯罪的人，但却不弃掉甘心悔改的人。当我们有胆量承认过犯并且及时悔改，神就再次接纳，并且使用我们成为贵重荣耀的器皿。

总结：

每一位新约的信徒都经历了大卫的恩典。当我们和大卫一样活在罪中、无法脱离捆绑的时候，神主动来寻找我们、光照我们，引导我们认罪悔改，回转到神面前。然后，神就用基督的新生命来代替旧生命，并且爱我们，如同我们完全没有犯过罪一样。

2 Samuel Chapter 12 King David who was willing to repent after making a mistake
GK611 Morning Devotion

The Morning Devotion Speaker: Bro Bezalel Tan

Introduction: If one can change after making a mistake, there is nothing better than this.

1. God reminded David through parables (12:1-6)

The prophet used parables to guide David to respond objectively to the event and thereby convict himself.

It is not that people living in the flesh don’t know sin or don’t understand the truth, but they are “strict with others and lenient with themselves” and always like to get rid of the accusations of their own conscience by condemning others. Therefore, this sentence is also what God says to us: When we righteously condemn others, we should first reflect on ourselves to see if we are “that man”!

2. David was severely rebuked by God (12:7-14)

(1) You are the man (V7a)

The risk of admonishing the king is very high. It is easy to "fail to defeat the tiger yet be injured by the tiger". But Nathan did not beat around the bush, but directly declared the great accusation: " You are the man"! This was not only because of Nathan’s loyalty to God but also because he knew David’s fear of God.

If a person’s status, reputation, or temper reaches such a level that no one dares to criticise him, then he may either be left alone by God or be judged by God Himself.

(2) Counting God’s Grace (V7b-9)

“Anointed you, saved you, gave you, delivered into your arms, granted you”. These five verbs count the grace God bestowed upon David, and at the same time condemn David for despising grace and being unwilling to be content.

God’s grace is always sufficient for us, but our sins are often the same as David’s. It is not because we lack anything, but because we despise grace, so we are carnal and indulge in the lusts of the flesh, not being vigilant and committing great sins.

3. Integrated Life (V10-14) After being reminded by the prophet, David immediately admitted his fault. David's humility and willingness to confess his sins were his saving grace, and God forgave his sins. We must always humble ourselves in life. When our cell leaders, pastors, or authorities point out the flaws and shortcomings in our lives, we must humbly accept them and repent promptly. At the same time, we also ask God to point out the dark side of our lives so that our lives can be integrated by God. The inside is consistent with the outside. Just like the message delivered by the pastor on Sunday, men go home, women to align with truth, live out Christ, and glorify Christ.

3. Understand God’s will and restart (12:15-31)

(1) Sin must be eliminated (V15-25)

David prayed fervently for the child. Although the prophet Nathan clearly stated that the child would die, he still did not stop calling out to God.

Because of David's faith, God blessed. The marriage was defiled, but after God's correction a son was born who was God's favorite.

(2) Restart after failure (V26-31)

Here we see that God will punish those who sin, but will not give up on those who willingly repent. When we are able to confess our transgressions and repent in time, God accepts us again and uses us as vessels of honour and glory.

Conclusion：

Every New Testament believer has experienced the grace of David. When we, like David, live in sin and cannot escape bondage, God takes the initiative to find, enlighten, and guide us to confess our sins, repent, and return to God. God then replaces the old life with the new life of Christ and loves us as if we had never sinned.
