迷失的羊再被教导

“于是从摩西和众先知起，凡经上所指着自己的话，都给他们讲解明白了。” -路 24:27

那两个来自以马忤斯的门徒需要被提醒，他们是属于耶稣的。他们像又迷失又困惑的羊，不能清楚地表达自己的感受。他们需要再一次听到主那个简单、但又复杂的故事。耶稣就像一位好老师，再次教导学主，使他们充份准备好去向人传讲关于祂的好消息。

当耶稣最亲密的门徒躲避那些拘捕和定耶稣罪的当权者时，这两只羊逃往他们远在以马忤斯安全的家。他们以为耶稣是个陌生人，便与祂分享他们的创伤，以及对牧羊人的失望。而耶稣藉自己的死和复活，乃是建基于《圣经》中一切有关于祂的话，帮助他们理解最近所发生的事件。当他们感到疑惑、恐惧，面对敌人的威胁时，耶稣给他们去享用神的话语。

这些门徒与生命之道相遇，又听到《圣经》有关于祂的描述，他们的生命因此永远被改变。我们被提醒，我们也需要认识神伟大的故事，以致我们能够明白神今天如何在祂的世界中作工。我们很容易被令人惊讶、又混乱的事件弄得不知所措，以致忘记了神今天对我们的应许、邀请和吩咐。

今天，主邀请你去享用祂的话语，你怎样回应呢？

祷告

主啊，我们为祢的话语感谢祢，求祢帮助我们天天去享用它。阿们。

LOST SHEEP RE-EDUCATED

Beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself. —Luke 24:27

The two disciples from Emmaus needed to be reminded that they belonged to Jesus. They were like lost and confused sheep that couldn’t articulate what they were feeling. They also needed to hear the Lord’s story again in all of its beautiful simplicity and complexity. Like a good teacher, Jesus retaught his students so that they would be well prepared to tell his good-news story to others.

While Jesus’ closest disciples hid from the authorities who had arrested and sentenced him, these two sheep had fled for the distant safety of their home in Emmaus. Thinking that Jesus was a stranger, they shared about their trauma and disappointment with their shepherd, and he helped them make sense of recent events by rooting his death and resurrection in all the Scriptures had said about him. Jesus gave them the Word to feast on, despite their doubts and fears and the threats of their enemies.

The disciples’ encounter with the living Word and what the Scriptures said about him changed their lives forever. We are reminded that we too need to know God’s big story so that we can make sense of how God keeps working in his world today. It can be easy to be overwhelmed by surprising, chaotic events and forget God’s promises, invitations, and commands to us today.

How have you responded to the Lord’s invitation to feast on his Word today?

Lord, thank you for your Word, and help us to feast on it daily. Amen.
