260靈修 Jan 11, 2013 馬太福音 Matthew 2:1-12

第二章
最好能將全章略讀一遍,再專注於以下經文段落:
1希律王執政的時候,耶穌生在猶太的伯利恆。那時,有幾個占星家從東方來
到耶路撒冷,2說:“那生下來作猶太人的王的在哪裡?我們看見他的星出
現,特來朝拜他。”3希律王聽見了就心裡不安,全耶路撒冷的居民也是這
樣。4他就召集所有的祭司長和民間的經學家,問他們基督應該生在哪裡。5
他們回答:“在猶太的伯利恆。因為有先知在經上這樣說:6‘猶大地的伯
利恆啊!你在猶大的領袖中,並不是最小的,因為必有一位領袖從你那裡出
來,牧養我的子民以色列。’”7希律暗中把占星家召來,仔細查問他們,
那顆星甚麼時候出現,8然後派他們到伯利恆去,說:“你們去細心尋訪那小
孩,找到了就向我報告,好叫我也去拜他。”9他們聽命去了。他們在東方
看見的那顆星,忽然在他們前頭,領他們到那小孩所在的地方,就在上頭停
住了。10他們看見那顆星,歡喜極了;11進了房子,看見小孩和他母親馬利
亞,就俯伏拜他,並且打開寶盒,把黃金、乳香、沒藥作禮物獻給他。12後
來他們在夢中得著指示不要回到希律那裡去,就從別的路回鄉去了。

默想:
1. 本段經文中,「拜」字出現了三次(2,8,11節)。東方的博士認識耶
穌是「要作猶太人的王」的;希律卻因此消息而深受威脅,因不願意將
他的寶座讓給耶穌,或任何人。我呢?我認識耶穌是我生命的王、我的
救主嗎?今天是誰坐在我生命的寶座上?

2. 敬拜不僅是個人與神單獨的關係,神的旨意並非要我們私下享有神的
愛與赦罪之恩。敬拜將我們與神縱向的關係,及與人的橫向關係聯結起
來。在敬拜中,我們拆除了私人及公眾之間的牆,成為一個身體,,彼
此相愛、彼此饒恕、也彼此服事。

3. 你是如何敬拜神的?在敬拜中是否享受到神的愛,神的赦罪之恩?在敬
拜中,是否與其他聖徒結成一體?是否有什麼事情,阻礙你全然地敬拜
神?

禱告與筆錄:
繼續安靜在神面前聆聽神,並將你的的思想、問題、觸動你的字、詞、圖
畫,或是與神的禱告,寫在你的靈程筆記簿上面。

今日箴言:1:7-9
7敬畏耶和華是知識的開端,愚妄人藐視智慧和訓誨。8我兒,要聽你父
親的訓誨,不可離棄你母親的法則,9因為這要做你頭上的華冠,你項
上的金鏈。

Chapter 2
If possible, read the whole chapter to see the full picture of what is happening here.
Then focus on the following section:
1 After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi
from the east came to Jerusalem 2 and asked, “Where is the one who has been born
king of the Jews? We saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.” 3
When King Herod heard this he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him. 4 When
he had called together all the people’s chief priests and teachers of the law, he asked
them where the Messiah was to be born. 5 “In Bethlehem in Judea,” they replied,
“for this is what the prophet has written: 6 “‘But you, Bethlehem, in the land of
Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for out of you will come
a ruler who will shepherd my people Israel.’” 7 Then Herod called the Magi secretly
and found out from them the exact time the star had appeared. 8 He sent them to
Bethlehem and said, “Go and search carefully for the child. As soon as you find him,
report to me, so that I too may go and worship him.” 9 After they had heard the king,
they went on their way, and the star they had seen when it rose went ahead of them
until it stopped over the place where the child was. 10 When they saw the star, they
were overjoyed. 11 On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother
Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures
and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. 12 And having been
warned in a dream not to go back to Herod, they returned to their country by another
route.

Meditation:
1. The word “worship” occurred three times in this passage. The wise men knew
Jesus as “the one who has been born king of the Jews”. And they came all the
way “to worship him.”

2. Worship isn’t a private matter between individuals and God only. It is not God’s
intention for you to enjoy his love and forgiveness in private. Worship integrates
our relationship with God as well as that among believers. In worship, we
become one body to love, to forgive and to serve.

3. How’s your worship? Do you enjoy God’s love and his forgiveness in worship?
Do you become part of the body with other saints? Is there any obstacle that is
hindering you worship God totally?

Prayer & Journaling:
On your prayer journal, as you listen to God, write down a few thoughts, questions,
words, names, drawings, or anything that has come to your mind during this time.

Proverbs for Today: Prov 1:7-9

Family Time:
As a family, try to imagine the night Jesus was born. Show some pictures
of Jesus’ birth. Sing a verse of “O little town of Bethlehem” (even if it’s not
Christmas time.) Let each one thank God for sending Jesus.

第一章

最好能將全章略讀一遍,再專注於以下經文段落:
1亞伯拉罕的後裔,大衛的子孫(後裔子孫原文都作兒子下同),耶穌基督的
家譜
18耶穌基督降生的事記在下面:他母親馬利亞已經許配了約瑟,還沒有迎
娶,馬利亞就從聖靈懷了孕。19她丈夫約瑟是個義人,不願意明明的羞辱
她,想要暗暗地把她休了。20正思念這事的時候,有主的使者向他夢中顯
現,說:「大衛的子孫約瑟,不要怕!只管娶過你的妻子馬利亞來,因她所
懷的孕是從聖靈來的。21她將要生一個兒子,你要給他起名叫耶穌,因他要
將自己的百姓從罪惡裡救出來。」22這一切的事成就是要應驗主藉先知所說
的話,23說:「必有童女懷孕生子;人要稱他的名為以馬內利。」(以馬內
利翻出來就是「 神與我們同在」。)24約瑟醒了,起來,就遵著主使者的
吩咐把妻子娶過來;25只是沒有和她同房,等她生了兒子(有古卷:等他生
了頭胎的兒子),就給他起名叫耶穌。

默想:
1. 這段經文描寫為人正直的約瑟,顯然不知道馬利亞是童貞受孕的,他擔
心馬利亞會因此受到羞辱,甚至會遭人用石頭打死。然而,神藉著天使
在夢中向約瑟啟示,他便順從而將馬利亞娶為妻子。

2. 天使在23節引用賽七14告訴約瑟“有童女將懷孕生子,他的名字要叫
以馬內利”。神在這裡向世人宣告,祂要與我們同在,和我們一同經歷
人類一切的喜、怒、哀、樂,一同渡過我們的侷限、羞辱、痛苦、掙
扎……。

3. 神成為肉身住在我們中間,這個事實怎樣改變我的生命?我可以做些什
麼,使得這事實更為真實呢?

禱告與筆錄:
繼續安靜在神面前聆聽神,並將你的的思想、問題、觸動你的字、詞、圖
畫,或是與神的禱告,寫在你的靈程筆記簿上面。

今日箴言:1:1-6
1以色列王大衛兒子所羅門的箴言。2要使人曉得智慧和訓誨,分辨通
達的言語,3使人處事領受智慧、仁義、公平、正直的訓誨,4使愚人靈
明,使少年人有知識和謀略,5使智慧人聽見增長學問,使聰明人得著智
謀,6使人明白箴言和譬喻,懂得智慧人的言辭和謎語。

Chapter 1
If possible, read the whole chapter to see the full picture of what is happening here.
Then focus on the following section:
1 This is the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah the son of David, the son of Abraham
18 This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came about: His mother Mary was
pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be
pregnant through the Holy Spirit. 19 Because Joseph her husband was faithful to the
law, and yet did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce
her quietly. 20 But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to
him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home
as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21 She will
give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his
people from their sins.” 22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through
the prophet: 23 “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call
him Immanuel” (which means “God with us”). 24 When Joseph woke up, he did what
the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife. 25 But
he did not consummate their marriage until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him
the name Jesus.

Meditation:
1. Joseph is a righteous man, faithful to God’s law (v19). He feared that Mary would
be subject to a public disgrace, and perhaps even stoning for immoral sexual
activity. God directed Joseph through an angel in a dream. He obeyed and took
Mary home as his wife.

2. The angel quoted Isaiah 7:14 to tell Joseph “the virgin will conceive and give
birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel”(v23). Here God is announcing
to the world that he will be with us, he will experience all the limits, shame and
suffering we go through.

3. How could the fact that “God became flesh and living among us” have changed
your life? What could you do to make this fact more a reality?

Prayer & Journaling:
On your prayer journal, as you listen to God, write down a few thoughts, questions,
words, names, drawings, or anything that has come to your mind during this time.

Proverbs for Today: Prov 1:1-6

Family Time:
God spoke to Joseph in a dream and helped him to make the right decision. How
does God talk to people today? Is there any decision the family or someone is
facing? As a family, pray for God’s direction and our obedience to God’s word.

第七十二章
1 神啊,求你將判斷的權柄賜給王,將公義賜給王的兒子。
2 他要按公義審判你的民,按公平審判你的困苦人。
3 大山小山都要因公義使民得享平安。
4 他必為民中的困苦人伸冤,拯救窮乏之輩,壓碎那欺壓人的。
5 太陽還存,月亮還在,人要敬畏你,直到萬代。
6 他必降臨,像雨降在已割的草地上,如甘霖滋潤田地。
7 在他的日子,義人要發旺,大有平安,好像月亮長存。

義審判你的民,按公平審判你的困苦人”。

4.你是否能夠很誠實地說,神是你的君王?若不能,為什麼?若
是,你的生命如何表現出神的統治?以神為王是什麼意思?

Chapter 72
1 Endow the king with your justice, O God,
the royal son with your righteousness.
2 May he judge your people in righteousness,
your afflicted ones with justice.
3 May the mountains bring prosperity to the people,
the hills the fruit of righteousness.
4 May he defend the afflicted among the people
and save the children of the needy;
may he crush the oppressor.
5 May he endure as long as the sun,
as long as the moon, through all generations.
6 May he be like rain falling on a mown field,
like showers watering the earth.
7 In his days may the righteous flourish
and prosperity abound till the moon is no more.

Meditation
1. Silence – Read/Listen – Meditate – Pray – Contemplate

2. What is the word or phrase that touches you today as you read and
meditate on this passage? What is your emotion as you read this
word or phrase? How is that related to your current situation? What
does God tell you to do?

3. This psalm is regarded in Jewish and Christian tradition as “messianic”.
One day a coming King will “judge your people in righteousness”
and “defend the afflicted”.

4. Can you honestly say that God is your ruler? If not, who is? If so,
how does your life reveal God’s rule? What does it mean to have
God as King?

第七十一章
9 我年老的時候,求你不要丟棄我;我力氣衰弱的時候,求你不
要離棄我。
10 我的仇敵議論我,那些窺探要害我命的彼此商議,
11 說:“神已經離棄他,我們追趕他,捉拿他吧!因為沒有人搭救。”
12 神啊,求你不要遠離我!我的神啊,求你速速幫助我!
13 願那與我性命為敵的,羞愧被滅;願那謀害我的,受辱蒙羞。
14 我卻要常常盼望,並要越發讚美你。
15 我的口終日要述說你的公義和你的救恩,因我不計其數。
16 我要來說主耶和華大能的事,我單要提說你的公義。
17 神啊,自我年幼時,你就教訓我;直到如今,我傳揚你奇妙的作為。
18 神啊,我到年老髮白的時候,求你不要離棄我!等我將你的能
力指示下代,將你的大能指示後世的人。

Chapter 71
9 Do not cast me away when I am old;
do not forsake me when my strength is gone.
10 For my enemies speak against me;
those who wait to kill me conspire together.
11 They say, “God has forsaken him;
pursue him and seize him, for no one will rescue him.”
12 Do not be far from me, my God;
come quickly, God, to help me.
13 May my accusers perish in shame;
may those who want to harm me be covered with scorn and disgrace.
14 As for me, I will always have hope;
I will praise you more and more.
15 My mouth will tell of your righteous deeds,of your saving acts all day
long— though I know not how to relate them all.
16 I will come and proclaim your mighty acts, Sovereign LORD;
I will proclaim your righteous deeds, yours alone.
17 Since my youth, God, you have taught me,
and to this day I declare your marvelous deeds.
18 Even when I am old and gray,
do not forsake me, my God,
till I declare your power to the next generation,
your mighty acts to all who are to come.

4 But may all who seek you
rejoice and be glad in you;

“The LORD is great!”
5 But as for me, I am poor and needy;
come quickly to me, O God.
You are my help and my deliverer;
LORD, do not delay.

7 因我為你的緣故受了辱罵,滿面羞愧。
8 我的弟兄看我為外路人,我的同胞看我為外邦人。
9 因我為你的殿心裡焦急,如同火燒,並且辱罵你人的辱罵都落在我身上。
10 我哭泣,以禁食刻苦我心,這倒算為我的羞辱。

my guilt is not hidden from you.
6 Lord, the LORD Almighty,
may those who hope in you not be disgraced because of me;
God of Israel,
may those who seek you not be put to shame because of me.
7 For I endure scorn for your sake,
and shame covers my face.
8 I am a foreigner to my own family,
a stranger to my own mother’s children;
9 for zeal for your house consumes me,
and the insults of those who insult you fall on me.
10 When I weep and fast, I must endure scorn;
11 when I put on sackcloth, people make sport of me.
12 Those who sit at the gate mock me,
and I am the song of the drunkards.

7 神啊,你曾在你百姓前頭出來,在曠野行走。
8 那時,地見神的面而震動,天也落雨,西奈山見以色列神的面也震動。
9 神啊,你降下大雨。你產業以色列疲乏的時候,你使他堅固。
10 你的會眾住在其中。神啊,你的恩惠是為困苦人預備的。
11 主發命令,傳好信息的婦女成了大群。
12 統兵的君王逃跑了,逃跑了;在家等候的婦女分受所奪的。
13 你們安臥在羊圈的時候,好像鴿子的翅膀鍍白銀,翎毛鍍黃金一般。
14 全能者在境內趕散列王的時候,勢如飄雪在撒們。
15 巴珊山是神的山,巴珊山是多峰多嶺的山。
16 你們多峰多嶺的山哪,為何斜看神所願居住的山?耶和華必住
這山,直到永遠。
17 神的車輦累萬盈千,主在其中,好像在西奈聖山一樣。
18 你已經升上高天擄掠仇敵;你在人間,就是在悖逆的人間受了
供獻,叫耶和華神可以與他們同住。

2.若時間容許,請將全篇讀完。詩人回述以色列的歷史,讚美神
帶領以色列民一路凱旋過來;回顧耶和華揀選錫安山,並百姓
從被擄、受欺壓到順服接受神的恩典。詩人因此大大喜樂,高
舉讚美神,並呼籲眾百姓因神彰顯的大能讚美祂。

中還有什麼邪惡污穢是需要清除,使你能夠凱旋得勝?

一面讀,一面為你的得救感謝神。

Chapter 68
7 When you, God, went out before your people,
when you marched through the wilderness,
8 the earth shook, the heavens poured down rain,
before God, the One of Sinai,
before God, the God of Israel.
9 You gave abundant showers, O God;
you refreshed your weary inheritance.
10 Your people settled in it,
and from your bounty, God, you provided for the poor.
11 The Lord announces the word,
and the women who proclaim it are a mighty throng:
12 “Kings and armies flee in haste;
the women at home divide the plunder.
13 Even while you sleep among the sheep pens,
the wings of my dove are sheathed with silver,
its feathers with shining gold.”
14 When the Almighty scattered the kings in the land,
it was like snow fallen on Mount Zalmon.
15 Mount Bashan, majestic mountain,
Mount Bashan, rugged mountain,
16 why gaze in envy, you rugged mountain,
at the mountain where God chooses to reign,
where the Lord himself will dwell forever?
17 The chariots of God are tens of thousands
and thousands of thousands;
the Lord has come from Sinai into his sanctuary.
18 When you ascended on high,
you took many captives;
you received gifts from people,
even from the rebellious—
that you, Lord God, might dwell there.

Meditation
1. Silence – Read/Listen – Meditate – Pray – Contemplate

2. If time permits, read through the whole psalm for today. God is praised
for his triumphal march through history, in scenes that recall the exodus,
his appearance at Sinai, the thunderstorm that defeated Sisera in Deborah’s
time, and the rains which made the Promised Land a place of blessing.

3. What is the word or phrase that touches you today as you read and meditate
on this passage? What is your emotion as you read this word or phrase?
How is that related to your current situation? What does God tell you to
do?

4. Briefly review your personal “salvation history”. What was your Egypt?
Your exodus? Desert? Promised land? Kingdom expansion? What evil
had to be rooted out of your life?

5. Read this passage again with your own history in mind. Praise God as you
read along.

回應——則助我們保持與厚賜福氣的神之間的親密關係。
4.在你生命中,神賜給你哪些祝福?是為誰的益處?在你每天的
禱告中,有多少百分比是用為稱頌神的?為什麼?

禱告與筆錄:
繼續安靜在神面前,與神對話,並聆聽祂對我說的話。將心中的思
想(心得),或是與神的禱告,記錄在「靈程筆記簿」上面。

Chapter 67
1 May God be gracious to us and bless us
and make his face shine on us—
2 so that your ways may be known on earth,
your salvation among all nations.
3 May the peoples praise you, God;
may all the peoples praise you.
4 May the nations be glad and sing for joy,
for you rule the peoples with equity
and guide the nations of the earth.
5 May the peoples praise you, God;
may all the peoples praise you.
6 The land yields its harvest;
God, our God, blesses us.
7 May God bless us still,
so that all the ends of the earth will fear him.

第六十六章
13 我要用燔祭進你的殿,向你還我的願──
14 就是在急難時,我嘴唇所發的、口中所許的。
15 我要把肥牛作燔祭,將公羊的香祭獻給你,又把公牛和山羊獻上。
16 凡敬畏神的人,你們都來聽!我要述說他為我所行的事。
17 我曾用口求告他,我的舌頭也稱他為高。
18 我若心裡注重罪孽,主必不聽。
19 但神實在聽見了,他側耳聽了我禱告的聲音。
20 神是應當稱頌的!他並沒有推卻我的禱告,也沒有叫他的慈愛離開我。

此,他全心全意地來到殿裡、神那裡。

物?什麼可以作為你奉獻的“牛和羊”?

Chapter 66
13 I will come to your temple with burnt offerings
and fulfill my vows to you—
14 vows my lips promised and my mouth spoke
when I was in trouble.
15 I will sacrifice fat animals to you
and an offering of rams;
I will offer bulls and goats.
16 Come and hear, all you who fear God;
let me tell you what he has done for me.
17 I cried out to him with my mouth;
his praise was on my tongue.
18 If I had cherished sin in my heart,
the Lord would not have listened;
19 but God has surely listened
and has heard my prayer.
20 Praise be to God,
who has not rejected my prayer
or withheld his love from me!

equivalent to “bulls and goats”?

第六十五章
5 拯救我們的神啊,你必以威嚴秉公義應允我們;你本是一切地極
和海上遠處的人所倚靠的。
6 他既以大能束腰,就用力量安定諸山,
7 使諸海的響聲和其中波浪的響聲並萬民的喧嘩,都平靜了。
8 住在地極的人,因你的神蹟懼怕;你使日出日落之地都歡呼。
9 你眷顧地,降下透雨,使地大得肥美。神的河滿了水;你這樣澆
灌了地,好為人預備五穀。
10 你澆透地的犁溝,潤平犁脊,降甘霖使地軟和;其中發長的,
蒙你賜福。
11 你以恩典為年歲的冠冕,你的路徑都滴下脂油。
12 滴在曠野的草場上。小山以歡樂束腰,
13 草場以羊群為衣,谷中也長滿了五穀。這一切都歡呼歌唱!

之讚美。

Chapter 65
5 You answer us with awesome and righteous deeds,
God our Savior,
the hope of all the ends of the earth
and of the farthest seas,
6 who formed the mountains by your power,
having armed yourself with strength,
7 who stilled the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves,
and the turmoil of the nations.
8 The whole earth is filled with awe at your wonders;
where morning dawns, where evening fades,
you call forth songs of joy.
9 You care for the land and water it; you enrich it abundantly.
The streams of God are filled with water to provide the people with
grain,
for so you have ordained it.
10 You drench its furrows and level its ridges;
you soften it with showers and bless its crops.
11 You crown the year with your bounty,
and your carts overflow with abundance.
12 The grasslands of the wilderness overflow;
the hills are clothed with gladness.
13 The meadows are covered with flocks and the valleys are mantled with
grain;
they shout for joy and sing.

down as your praise to God for his abundant provision to you.
