【双语灵修】被蜇了！STUNG!

哥林多前书 15:50-58

50 弟兄们，我告诉你们说，血肉之体不能承受神的国，必朽坏的不能承受不朽坏的。 51 我如今把一件奥秘的事告诉你们：我们不是都要睡觉，乃是都要改变， 52 就在一霎时，眨眼之间，号筒末次吹响的时候。因号筒要响，死人要复活成为不朽坏的，我们也要改变。 53 这必朽坏的总要变成不朽坏的，这必死的总要变成不死的。 54 这必朽坏的既变成不朽坏的，这必死的既变成不死的，那时经上所记“死被得胜吞灭”的话就应验了。 55 “死啊，你得胜的权势在哪里？死啊，你的毒钩在哪里？” 56 死的毒钩就是罪，罪的权势就是律法。 57 感谢神，使我们藉着我们的主耶稣基督得胜！ 58 所以，我亲爱的弟兄们，你们务要坚固，不可摇动，常常竭力多做主工，因为知道，你们的劳苦在主里面不是徒然的。

被蜇了！

“死的毒钩就是罪，罪的权势就是律法。感谢神，使我们藉着我们的主耶稣基督得胜。” - 哥林多前书 15:56-57

某个夏日，当我在我们的园子里时，突然被一只在我头上疯狂地嗡嗡作响的蜜蜂袭击。在惊慌中（错误的反应），我猛烈地挥动我的帽子，企图把它拍走。蜜蜂瞄准、并蜇刺了我的鼻子，当它绕着圈飞，然后再来蜇我时，我知道它不可能是其中一只属于我的蜜蜂，它们只蜇一次便会失去蜇刺，然后死亡。我庆幸只被蜇一次便脱了险。

你害怕蜜蜂吗？很多人都害怕。被蜂蜇刺是很痛的，如果你有敏感，被蜂蜇刺可能是危险甚至是致命的。被蜂连续蜇剌也可能会令人受不了，甚至引致死亡。

你害怕死亡吗？保罗在《哥林多前书》15章对跟随基督的人所说的话，目的是要平伏我们被死亡蜇刺的恐惧。保罗解释说，罪以那根导致死亡的刺蜇剌我们。当人按照己意行事时，他们的罪就像一根致命的刺，把毒素注入他们里面，最后导致死亡。罪和死亡的毒素唯一的解药，就是在耶稣里—因为祂为我们的罪牺牲并且复活、战胜了死亡。

我们可以信靠耶稣，天天活在祂复活的大能中，并且与人分享救恩和在祂里面得新生命的好消息。

祷告

亲爱的耶稣，你到来为我们的罪受死，为所有信靠你的人承受了死的蜇刺。感谢你向我们保证，藉着你复活的大能，使我们从罪恶和死亡中得释放，并且与你一同复活得新生命。奉你的名祈求，阿们。

STUNG!

The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. —1 Corinthians 15:56-57

In our garden one summer day, I was suddenly assaulted by a bee buzzing furiously around my head. Panicking (never a good idea), I flailed furiously with my hat, trying to swat it away. The bee zeroed in and sunk its stinger into my nose. When it circled and then flew in to sting me again, I knew it could not be one of my honeybees. They lose their stingers and die after one sting. Thankfully, I was able to escape with only one sting.

Are you afraid of bees? Many people are. Bee stings are painful. And if you are allergic, bee stings can be dangerous and even deadly. Getting too many bee stings at once could overwhelm and cause death for anyone.

Are you afraid of death? Paul’s words to Christ-followers in 1 Corinthians 15 are aimed at calming our fears of being stung to death. Paul explains that sin delivers the sting that leads to death. When people go their own way, their sin is like a deadly stinger that shoots venom into them, resulting in death. The only antidote to the poisonous venom of sin and death is in Jesus—his death for our sins and his resurrection victory over death.

We can trust in Jesus and walk in his resurrection power each day, sharing with others the good news of salvation and new life in him.

Dear Jesus, you came to die for our sin, taking on the sting of death for all who trust in you. Assure us that in your resurrection power we can be free of sin and death and rise to new life with you. In your name, Amen.
