以赛亚书[第四十八章]|Book of Isaiah 48【神对悖逆之人的怜悯】
02/08/2022
前言:
面对悖逆的儿女,父母哪怕管教,也会想方设法把儿女带回到正路中。神是慈爱的,祂是众人的父,面对祂悖逆的儿女,祂也是一直都在设法对着祂的儿女施行怜悯。
一、神面对顽梗悖逆的百姓
1. 愿百姓能醒悟(V1-6a)
神面对并不按神心意来敬拜祂的百姓,要让百姓看到祂才是那位掌管着过去、现在和未来的神,而不是他们实际上正在敬拜的偶像。
2. 仍然施恩拣选(V6b-11)
神面对悖逆的百姓,仍然施恩拣选以色列,不将百姓剪除,为的是让百姓看到唯独祂才是神。
二、神选召施行拯救的君王(V12-16)
神曾经选召波斯王古烈拯救被掳到巴比伦的百姓,后来又兴起祂的爱子耶稣成为永远的君王,来完全拯救祂的百姓,为的都是要给悖逆之人悔改并得救的机会。
三、神等候百姓归回到正路(V17-22)
1. 再次苦口婆心地劝诫(V17-20)
神再次苦口婆心地劝诫祂的百姓要回转到属神的道路上,从而能够离开被掳到的巴比伦之地,并且重新进入到神应许的祝福中!
2. 人的回应将决定结果(V21-22)
愿意悔改,愿意重新来被神来引导的人,他们的生命必不再枯干,然而不愿悔改的人将不得平安。
总结:
神是全然公义,也是全然慈爱的。面对悖逆之人,祂一直都在兴起拯救者,也最终起兴祂的爱子耶稣,来成为不仅成为以色列,也成为全人类终极的拯救者。然而,神的救恩是需要人做对回应的。只要人愿意回应,神都乐意把这个救恩白白地赐给人。
Isaiah 48: God's Mercy For The Disobedient
GK611 Morning Devotion
02/08/2022
Speaker: IP Moses Ou + Rev David Tan
Introduction:
When faced with a rebellious child, parents will try to bring their children back to the right path, even if they need to discipline them. God is loving, and He is the Father of all people, and He is always trying to show mercy to His children in the face of their disobedience.
1. God Faces His Stubborn and Rebellious People
(1) May the people come to their senses (V1-6a)
God confronted the people who were not worshiping Him as He wanted them to see that He was the God of the past, present and future, and not the idols they were actually worshiping.
(2) Still giving grace and choose His people (V6b-11)
God is still giving grace and chose Israel when facing the rebellious people, and did not cut them off in order to show them that He alone is God.
2. God Chose a King to Perform Salvation (V12-16)
God had chosen King Cyrus of Persia to save the captives in Babylon, and later raised up His beloved Son Jesus to be the eternal King to save His people completely, in order to give rebellious people the opportunity to repent and be saved.
3. God Waits for the People to Return to the Right Way (V17-22)
(1) Once again, He painstakingly exhorts the people (V17-20)
Once again, God painstakingly exhorts His people to turn back to God's way so that they can leave the Babylonian captivity and re-enter God's promised blessings!
(2) The response of man will determine the outcome (V21-22)
Those who are willing to repent and come back to be guided by God will not have their lives dried up, but those who are not willing to repent will not have peace.
Conclusion:
God is all-righteous and all-loving. He has always raised up deliverers in the face of disobedience, and ultimately raised up His beloved Son, Jesus, to be the ultimate deliverer not only of Israel, but of all mankind. However, God's salvation requires the right response from man. God is pleased to give this salvation freely to man as long as he is willing to respond.
