以赛亚书[第五十九章]|Book of Isaiah 59【用尽全力救赎罪人的神】
23/08/2022
引言:
若是我们所亲爱的亲友面对着死亡的威胁,我们只要可以做到的,无论要付多少代价,我们都会竭力去救我们的亲友。其实我们的天父,也是这样附上全力去救每一个罪人。
一、神面对有罪的人
1. 活在蒙蔽的罪人(1-8)
罪人活在蒙蔽中的时候,所行的都是不义,所以这也拦阻了他们的祷告来蒙公义的神来垂听。
2. 醒悟过来的罪人(9-15a)
当罪人醒悟过来,看见自己的悖逆和不义,才能明白自己是何等地亏欠神,然而这样的人却是极少数。
二、神兴起施行拯救
1. 因公义而兴起(15b-20)
面对又一个悖逆的世代,神本没有义务去救赎这些悖逆的百姓,但因着祂的怜悯和公义,祂就兴起,为着悖逆之人预备救恩的道路。
2. 与百姓立新约(21)
神也知道我们这些属血气之人的软弱,所以祂要与我们立新约,赐下圣灵,将祂的律例典章放在我们的心中,也接着圣灵给我们力量去活出神的心意,好让我们能够持守在神救恩的约里,直到永永远远。
总结:
如果说因着神的公义,祂就最多只是应该施恩给愿意悔改的罪人;那么面对悖逆却不愿悔改的罪人,神本来就是没有义务去施行拯救的。然而我们的神也是所有人的父,无论人有多么地悖逆,祂就是一直地在用尽全力去拯救世上的每一个罪人。
祂深深知道罪人的软弱,所以祂就预备了耶稣,来与我们立新约,让我们能够得着圣灵,然后就有力量去活出讨神喜悦的新生命!
Isaiah 59: The God Who Redeems Sinners With All His Might
GK611 Morning Devotion
23/8/2022
Speaker: IP Moses Ou + Rev David Tan
Introduction:
If our dear ones are facing the threat of death, we will do whatever we can to save them, no matter how much it costs. In fact, our heavenly Father also attaches all His strength to save every sinner.
1. God Confronts Sinful People
(1) The sinner who lives in blindness (1-8)
When sinners are living in blindness, they are doing unrighteousness, so this also prevents their prayers from being heard by the God of righteousness.
(2) The sinner who comes to their senses (9-15a)
When sinners come to their senses and see their disobedience and unrighteousness, they can understand how much they owe God, but such people are very few.
2. God Rises Up to Perform Salvation
(1) Arise in righteousness (15b-20)
In the face of another rebellious generation, God was not obligated to redeem these rebellious people, but in His mercy and righteousness He rose up to prepare the way of salvation for the rebellious.
(2) Making a new covenant with the people (21)
God also knows the weakness of us flesh and blood, so He will make a new covenant with us, giving us the Holy Spirit to put His statutes and rules in our hearts, and then the Holy Spirit will give us the power to live out the will of God, so that we may hold on to the covenant of God's salvation forever and ever.
Conclusion:
If, because of God's righteousness, He should at most be gracious to sinners who are willing to repent, then God is not obligated to save rebellious sinners who do not want to repent. However, our God is also the Father of all people, and no matter how rebellious man is, He is always trying with all His might to save every sinner in the world.
He knows deeply the weakness of sinners, so He prepared Jesus to make a new covenant with us, so that we might receive the Holy Spirit and then have the power to live a new life pleasing to God!
