親愛的家人們，平安。

在四十天禁食禱告的旅程中，我們很容易不自覺地把焦點放在結果與突破上，期待看見神即時的作為，卻忽略停下來回到父親面前，讓內心被整理與更新。當壓力臨到，我們更容易急著解決問題，而不是安靜等候神的帶領。久而久之，我們仍然在禱告、讀經、聚會與服事，心卻越來越疲累，對神的信靠也慢慢變成對結果的期待。神在這四十天中不是要我們表現得更好，而是溫柔地邀請我們回到祂面前，調整跟隨的焦點。

今天的經文讓我們看見，一件明顯的神蹟，使彼得和約翰被帶到公會受審。眾人的目光很自然地停留在能力與果效上，但彼得清楚指出，真正要回應的不是能力，而是那位施行拯救的主。神今天也提醒我們，若焦點停在神蹟與結果，生命很容易偏離神自己；唯有轉回到救主面前，生命才會重新對齊。

第一點：追逐神蹟，容易離開救主

使徒行傳 4:12

當我們把焦點放在能力、果效與突破上，心很快會回到靠自己與看結果來定義信仰。人與環境能帶來短暫的興奮或失望，卻不能成為生命的根源。今天我們選擇把焦點轉回耶穌，承認除祂以外，別無拯救，生命真正的盼望只在救主裡。

第二點：只停在經歷，生命難以站立

使徒行傳 4:10

那位瘸腿四十多年的人，不只是被醫好，更被扶起來，站在使徒中間，進入群體與同行。神的心意不只是解決問題，而是恢復我們與祂、與肢體的關係。當我們只追求一次次的屬靈經歷，生命容易停在表面；當我們願意回到神面前，生命才會被扶起來，重新站立，走進與主同行的路。

第三點：跟過耶穌，生命自然流露見證

使徒行傳 4:20

彼得和約翰不是靠學問或地位，而是因為跟過耶穌，所以他們所看見、所聽見的，不能不說。當我們的心常常回到神面前，世界的聲音就不再主導我們，生命自然會流露見證，不是為了表現，而是出於真實遇見主。

今天這段經文的對比很清楚

• 當我們把焦點放在人與環境，生命容易進入疲累、焦躁與失望
• 當我們把焦點轉回神面前，生命重新進入安息、更新與方向

在這四十天禁食禱告期間，若你今天未能參與晨禱，請預備餅與杯，在家中守聖餐，記念主為我們承擔罪的代價。因著基督的十字架，我們得赦免、得醫治、得修復，能夠坦然回到父親的懷裡。

宣告與禱告

主耶穌，謝謝祢為我們捨命，使我們不再靠神蹟與結果來定義信仰。今天我們棄絕追逐能力與果效，選擇回轉歸向祢，單單跟隨救主。我們宣告，我們的生命根源在於住在祢裡面，不在於表現與成就。求祢以真光照亮我們的心，醫治我們裡面對能力與結果的依賴。帶著祢的光、真理、能力與平安走進今天，從神蹟轉向救主，走在生命的路上。

使徒行傳 4:5-22

5 第二天，官府、長老和文士在耶路撒冷聚會， 6 又有大祭司亞那和該亞法、約翰、亞歷山大，並大祭司的親族都在那裡， 7 叫使徒站在當中，就問他們說：「你們用什麼能力，奉誰的名做這事呢？」 8 那時彼得被聖靈充滿，對他們說： 9 「治民的官府和長老啊，倘若今日因為在殘疾人身上所行的善事，查問我們他是怎麼得了痊癒， 10 你們眾人和以色列百姓都當知道：站在你們面前的這人得痊癒，是因你們所釘十字架、神叫他從死裡復活的拿撒勒人耶穌基督的名。

11 「他是『你們匠人所棄的石頭，已成了房角的頭塊石頭』。 12 除他以外，別無拯救，因為在天下人間，沒有賜下別的名我們可以靠著得救。」

13 他們見彼得、約翰的膽量，又看出他們原是沒有學問的小民，就稀奇，認明他們是跟過耶穌的。 14 又看見那治好了的人和他們一同站著，就無話可駁。 15 於是吩咐他們從公會出去，就彼此商議說： 16 「我們當怎樣辦這兩個人呢？因為他們誠然行了一件明顯的神蹟，凡住耶路撒冷的人都知道，我們也不能說沒有。 17 唯恐這事越發傳揚在民間，我們必須恐嚇他們，叫他們不再奉這名對人講論。」 18 於是叫了他們來，禁止他們總不可奉耶穌的名講論、教訓人。 19 彼得、約翰說：「聽從你們不聽從神，這在神面前合理不合理，你們自己酌量吧！ 20 我們所看見、所聽見的，不能不說。」 21 官長為百姓的緣故，想不出法子刑罰他們，又恐嚇一番，把他們釋放了。這是因眾人為所行的奇事都歸榮耀於神。 22 原來藉著神蹟醫好的那人有四十多歲了。

Acts 4:5-22

5 And it came to pass, on the next day, that their rulers, elders, and scribes, 6 as well as Annas the high priest, Caiaphas, John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the family of the high priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem. 7 And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, “By what power or by what name have you done this?”

8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers of the people and elders of Israel: 9 If we this day are judged for a good deed done to a helpless man, by what means he has been made well, 10 let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands here before you whole. 11 This is the ‘stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone.’ 12 Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”

13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus. 14 And seeing the man who had been healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it. 15 But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves, 16 saying, “What shall we do to these men? For, indeed, that a notable miracle has been done through them is evident to all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it. 17 But so that it spreads no further among the people, let us severely threaten them, that from now on they speak to no man in this name.”

18 So they called them and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus. 19 But Peter and John answered and said to them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you more than to God, you judge. 20 For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.” 21 So when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way of punishing them, because of the people, since they all glorified God for what had been done. 22 For the man was over forty years old on whom this miracle of healing had been performed.
