【双语灵修】七十二人THE SEVENTY-TWO

路加福音 10:1-20

这事以后,主又设立七十个人,差遣他们两个两个地在他前面,往自己所要到的各城各地方去。就对他们说:“要收的庄稼多,做工的人少。所以,你们当求庄稼的主,打发工人出去收他的庄稼。你们去吧!我差你们出去,如同羊羔进入狼群。不要带钱囊,不要带口袋,不要带鞋,在路上也不要问人的安。无论进哪一家,先要说:‘愿这一家平安!’那里若有当得平安的人,你们所求的平安就必临到那家;不然,就归于你们了。你们要住在那家,吃喝他们所供给的,因为工人得工价是应当的。不要从这家搬到那家。“无论进哪一城,人若接待你们,给你们摆上什么,你们就吃什么。 要医治那城里的病人,对他们说:‘神的国临近你们了。’无论进哪一城,人若不接待你们,你们就到街上去,说:‘就是你们城里的尘土粘在我们的脚上,我们也当着你们擦去。虽然如此,你们该知道神的国临近了。’我告诉你们:当审判的日子,所多玛所受的比那城还容易受呢! 哥拉汛哪,你有祸了!伯赛大啊,你有祸了!因为在你们中间所行的异能,若行在推罗、西顿,他们早已披麻蒙灰、坐在地上悔改了。当审判的日子,推罗、西顿所受的比你们还容易受呢!迦百农啊,你已经升到天上,将来必推下阴间!”又对门徒说:“听从你们的,就是听从我;弃绝你们的,就是弃绝我;弃绝我的,就是弃绝那差我来的。”那七十个人欢欢喜喜地回来,说:“主啊,因你的名,就是鬼也服了我们!”耶稣对他们说:“我曾看见撒旦从天上坠落,像闪电一样。我已经给你们权柄可以践踏蛇和蝎子,又胜过仇敌一切的能力,断没有什么能害你们。然而,不要因鬼服了你们就欢喜,要因你们的名记录在天上欢喜。”

七十二人

“主又另外指派了七十二个人,差遣他们两个两个地……” -路 10:1 (新译本)

我十几岁时的第一份工作是在华盛顿州的一个农场采摘覆盆子。我不能说这是我最喜欢的工作,但它让我在暑假里有事可做,还能让我有些零用钱,可以花在当地加油站买棒球卡。不过,除了让我忙起来和挣到钱之外,这份工作还让我在暑假里有了目标感。

耶稣带着任务和目的差派了祂的 72 名跟随者。他们走在耶稣的前面,前往祂将要去的城镇和村庄,传讲神国度的好消息。

这些跟随者走出去,分享有关耶稣的好消息,他们甚至能够治病赶鬼。从他们的反应来看,他们似乎也很惊讶自己能够奉耶稣的名做这些事。

然而,当耶稣给我们一项任务,并带着祝福把我们差派出去时,就会发生这样的事。即使我们觉得自己还没有完全准备好去做我们被呼召要做的事情,耶稣也会与我们同行,并祝福我们手里所做的。

主有任务和使命给我们。我们是在世上跟随祂的人,奉差遣去与世人分享祂的福音。

祷告

耶稣,感谢你差派我们进入世界,去与我们所遇之人分享你的好消息。阿们。

THE SEVENTY-TWO

"The Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them two by two ahead of him. . . ." - Luke 10:1

In my first job as a teenager, I picked raspberries at a farm in Washington State. I can’t say it was my favorite job ever, but it gave me something to do for the summer and provided me with some money to buy baseball cards at the local gas station. More than keeping me busy and giving me a bit of money, though, that job helped to give me a sense of purpose for the summer.

Jesus sent out 72 of his followers with a task and a purpose. They went ahead of him to the towns and villages he was about to go to as he brought the good news of the kingdom of God.

As these followers went out, they shared the good news about Jesus, and they were even able to heal people and cast out demons. From their reaction it seems they were also surprised that they could do these things in Jesus’ name.

But that’s what happens when Jesus gives us a job and sends us out with his blessing. Even if we don’t feel fully equipped to do what we are called to do, Jesus goes with us and blesses our efforts.

The Lord has a task and a purpose for us to carry out. We are his followers on this earth, sent out to share his message with the world.

Jesus, thank you for sending us into this world to share your good news with everyone we meet. Amen.
