今天我們進入四十天禁食禱告的第4天。彼得和十一個使徒站起來,在眾人誤解、譏誚與敵對的環境中,沒有選擇退縮,也沒有為自己辯護,而是站在神的話語之上,為耶穌作見證。彼得引用先知約珥的話,指出這正是神早已應許要成就的工作:神要將祂的靈澆灌在凡有血氣的身上,使兒女、少年人、老年人都一同進入神的工作與啟示中。這提醒我們,神的恢復不是只臨到少數人,而是要臨到整個群體,跨越世代與身分,使每一個願意回轉的人,都能被聖靈更新與使用。當我們只看環境,很容易覺得自己軟弱、微小、無力;但當我們回到神的應許,就看見神正在召聚整個屬祂的群體,一同站立。
第一點:站起來,為神的作為作見證
使徒行傳 2:14–21
當我們只為自己辯護,焦點會停留在人的評價與環境的壓力之中,內心容易被誤解與委屈牽動,逐漸失去屬靈方向。當我們回到神的話語,看見神正在成就祂的應許,心就不再被人的眼光左右,而是重新對齊神的作為。
第二點:站起來,把人帶回十字架與復活
使徒行傳 2:22–24
當我們只追求屬靈現象與感受,生命容易停留在表層,內在的驕傲與自我卻沒有被處理,久而久之,信仰變得空洞。當我們回到耶穌的十字架與復活,承認自己的罪與需要,生命才真正被對付與更新,屬靈經歷也重新回到救恩的根基之上。
第三點:站起來,承認耶穌是主
使徒行傳 2:33–36
當我們仍然由自己作主,生命的選擇容易被情緒、習慣與環境牽引,即使有屬靈經歷,內心仍然缺乏真正的穩定與方向。當我們承認耶穌的主權,把生命交回給祂,聖靈的工作就引導我們進入更新與建造,讓生命重新站立在真理之中。
在這四十天的旅程中,我們每天一起回到十字架前,記念主為我們捨命與流血。即使有些家人未能參與晨禱,當你閱讀這段訊息時,也可以在神面前預備心,簡單預備餅與杯,安靜記念主為你所付的代價,宣告你仍然站在祂的救恩與新約之中。這不是形式,而是讓心再次對齊十字架,讓我們不論身在何處,都與整個群體一同回到主面前。
今天我們在神面前安靜省察:在誤解與壓力中,我們是否仍然急於為自己說話,而不是為神作見證;在屬靈經歷中,我們是否追求感覺,卻忽略讓十字架對付內心深處的驕傲與自我;在信仰生活中,我們是否口裡承認耶穌是主,卻仍然緊抓生命的主權;也省察自己是否仍把屬靈生命限制在某些年齡或角色上,卻忘了神正在呼召整個群體一同站立。
我們宣告:耶穌是主。祂為我們的罪承擔代價,使我們得赦免、得醫治、得恢復。無論我們正處在人生哪一個階段,願意回轉歸向祂的人,都要被祂的靈更新與使用。我們把生命的主權交回給祂,求聖靈引導我們在這四十天中,一步一步從人的反應轉向屬靈的回應,讓我們不再憑自己站立,而是站在祂的光中被更新,進入從根恢復,走向整全健康。
使徒行傳 2:14-36
14 彼得和十一個使徒站起,高聲說:「猶太人和一切住在耶路撒冷的人哪,這件事你們當知道,也當側耳聽我的話。 15 你們想這些人是醉了,其實不是醉了,因為時候剛到巳初。 16 這正是先知約珥所說的: 17 『神說:在末後的日子,我要將我的靈澆灌凡有血氣的,你們的兒女要說預言,你們的少年人要見異象,老年人要做異夢。 18 在那些日子,我要將我的靈澆灌我的僕人和使女,他們就要說預言。 19 在天上我要顯出奇事,在地下我要顯出神蹟,有血,有火,有煙霧。 20 日頭要變為黑暗,月亮要變為血,這都在主大而明顯的日子未到以前。 21 到那時候,凡求告主名的,就必得救。』 22 以色列人哪,請聽我的話:神藉著拿撒勒人耶穌在你們中間施行異能、奇事、神蹟,將他證明出來,這是你們自己知道的。 23 他既按著神的定旨、先見被交於人,你們就藉著無法之人的手,把他釘在十字架上殺了。 24 神卻將死的痛苦解釋了,叫他復活,因為他原不能被死拘禁。 25 大衛指著他說:『我看見主常在我眼前,他在我右邊,叫我不至於搖動。 26 所以我心裡歡喜,我的靈快樂,並且我的肉身要安居在指望中; 27 因你必不將我的靈魂撇在陰間,也不叫你的聖者見朽壞。 28 你已將生命的道路指示我,必叫我因見你的面得著滿足的快樂。』 29 弟兄們,先祖大衛的事,我可以明明地對你們說,他死了,也葬埋了,並且他的墳墓直到今日還在我們這裡。 30 大衛既是先知,又曉得神曾向他起誓,要從他的後裔中立一位坐在他的寶座上, 31 就預先看明這事,講論基督復活說:他的靈魂不撇在陰間,他的肉身也不見朽壞。 32 這耶穌,神已經叫他復活了,我們都為這事作見證。 33 他既被神的右手高舉,又從父受了所應許的聖靈,就把你們所看見、所聽見的澆灌下來。 34 大衛並沒有升到天上,但自己說:『主對我主說:「你坐在我的右邊, 35 等我使你仇敵做你的腳凳。」』 36 故此,以色列全家當確實地知道:你們釘在十字架上的這位耶穌,神已經立他為主、為基督了。」
Acts 2:14-36
14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, raised his voice and said to them, “Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and heed my words. 15 For these are not drunk, as you suppose, since it is only the third hour of the day. 16 But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:
17 ‘And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God,
That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh;
Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
Your young men shall see visions,
Your old men shall dream dreams.
18 And on My menservants and on My maidservants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days;
And they shall prophesy.
19 I will show wonders in heaven above
And signs in the earth beneath:
Blood and fire and vapor of smoke.
20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,
And the moon into blood,
Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord.
21 And it shall come to pass
That whoever calls on the name of the Lord
Shall be saved.’
22 “Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a Man attested by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs which God did through Him in your midst, as you yourselves also know— 23 Him, being delivered by the determined purpose and foreknowledge of God, you have taken by lawless hands, have crucified, and put to death; 24 whom God raised up, having loosed the pains of death, because it was not possible that He should be held by it. 25 For David says concerning Him:
‘I foresaw the Lord always before my face,
For He is at my right hand, that I may not be shaken.
26 Therefore my heart rejoiced, and my tongue was glad;
Moreover my flesh also will rest in hope.
27 For You will not leave my soul in Hades,
Nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption.
28 You have made known to me the ways of life;
You will make me full of joy in Your presence.’
29 “Men and brethren, let me speak freely to you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. 30 Therefore, being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that of the fruit of his body, according to the flesh, He would raise up the Christ to sit on his throne, 31 he, foreseeing this, spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ, that His soul was not left in Hades, nor did His flesh see corruption. 32 This Jesus God has raised up, of which we are all witnesses. 33 Therefore being exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He poured out this which you now see and hear.
34 “For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he says himself:
‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at My right hand,
35 Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.” ’
36 “Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.”
