基督是一切(八) - Christ Is All (VIII)

—基督是最偉大的恢復、重建者

- Christ is the Greatest Restorer and Rebuilder

 

經文:約21:1-17; 25, 20:30-31, 太12:20

Scriptures: John 21:1-17, 25, 20:30-31; Matthew 12:20

背誦經文:『壓傷的蘆葦祂不折斷,將殘的燈火祂不熄滅』(太12:20)

Memory verse: “A bruised reed He will not break, and smoking flax He will not quench” (Matthew 12:20)

 

(一)      「軟弱、失敗」,「灰心、沮喪」…是舊造生命常有的光景

(I) “Weakness, failure”, “discouraged, despair” … are the conditions of the old creation

—『我打魚去』,『我們也和你同去』

      “I am going fishing”, “We are going with you also” (John 21:3)

—『那一夜並沒有打著什麼』

      “That night they caught nothing” (John 21:3)

—    明明『是主』,卻認不出,不敢問也不敢認(V 7,12)

Obviously “It is the Lord”, yet the disciples did not recognize, or dared ask or acknowledge (John 21:7, 12)

 

(二)         『壓傷的蘆葦祂不折斷,將殘的燈火祂不熄滅』

(II) “A bruised reed He will not break, and smoking flax He will not quench”

—『小子,你們有吃的沒有?』(v 5)

      “Children, have you any food?” (John 21:5)

—『他們上了岸,就看見那裡有炭火,上面有魚,又有餅…主耶穌就來

         拿餅和魚給他們』(v 9,13)

      “Then, as soon as they had come to land, they saw a fire of coals there,

and fish laid on it, and bread… Jesus then came and took the bread and gave it to them, and likewise the fish. “(John 21:9, 13)

—    我們的大祭司並非不能體恤我們的軟弱…』(來4:15)

“For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses …” (Hebrews 4:15)

(三)         基督是最偉大的重建者

(III) Christ is the greatest rebuilder

—重建彼得對祂的信心 —使他真知道『基督是萬有的主』

    Rebuilt Peter’s faith in Him – let him truly know “Christ is the Lord of all”

—重建彼得與祂的關係 —『和彼得』(可16:7) 與『你愛我比這些更深嗎?』

Rebuilt Peter’s relationship with Him – “and Peter” (Mark 16:7) and “Do you love Me more than these?” (John 21:15)

—重建彼得人生的使命 —『你餵養我的小羊!』,『你牧養我的羊!』

Rebuilt Peter’s life commission - “Feed My lambs”, “Tend My sheep” (John 21:15, 16)

—重建彼得人生的態度 — 不用問『這人將來如何?』,只管忠心跟從主

Rebuilt Peter’s life attitude - no need to ask “But Lord, what about this man?” just follow the Lord faithfully

 

(四)         總結 —— 『基督是一切,又在一切之內』
