體貼神的意思 — 馬太福音讀經隨筆 第17章

馬太福音第十七章第22—23節，這是馬太福音裏第二次出現耶穌告訴門徒關於他將會受難而後第三日複活。第一次是出現在第十六章第21節。門徒們聽了後都很憂愁，彼得卻把耶穌拉到一旁說萬萬不可這樣做。耶穌馬上批評了他，說他沒有把心思放在神的意思上。耶穌為什麽又對彼得說“撒但退我後邊去”呢？因為撒但不希望人得救，這樣在末日的時候，所有的人就都是它在硫磺火湖的陪葬品，而耶穌道成肉身來到世界上的工作就是要粉碎撒但的這個詭計。弟兄們，姐妹們，讓我們始終牢記我們是耶穌變賣了他的一切用重價買來的：
太17:22 他們還住在加利利的時候、耶穌對門徒說、人子將要被交在人手裏．
While they were staying in Galilee, Jesus said to them, "The Son of Man is about to be delivered up into the hands of men,
太17:23 他們要殺害他、第三日他要複活。門徒就大大的憂愁。
and they will kill him, and the third day he will be raised up." They were exceedingly sorry.
太16:22 彼得就拉著他、勸他說、主阿、萬不可如此、這事必不臨到你身上。
Peter took him aside, and began to rebuke him, saying, "Far be it from you, Lord! This will never be done to you."
太16:23 耶穌轉過來、對彼得說、撒但退我後邊去吧．你是絆我腳的．因為你不體貼 神的意思、隻體貼人的意思。
But he turned, and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me, for you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of men."
林前7:23 你們是重價買來的．不要作人的奴仆。
You were bought with a price. Don't become bondservants of men.
太13:46 遇見一顆重價的珠子、就去變賣他一切所有的、買了這顆珠子。
who having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
