慰藉心靈學教理 | 第二周禮拜五,雙語靈修(附英文音頻)

2021-02-19 一目了然看世界

說明:禮拜一到禮拜六,每天都要從朗讀本周的問答開始,然後仔細閱讀下面當天的靈修內容,以便對問答有更深的理解。最後閱讀並默想每段靈修之後的經文,最好多讀幾遍,甚至可以背誦下來。家人或小組成員可以就著當天的靈修內容和經文展開討論,並嘗試將所學內容與自己的實際生活結合起來。對英語原文部分感興趣的弟兄姐妹,可以用英文的內容再來一遍。

至於為何及如何學習教理問答,請讀本書的前言。

本周嘗試增加了英文音頻,也是本人讀的。用不到的話直接忽略O(∩_∩)O。如果沒有需要的,或者效果較差,試驗一周之後可能酌情終止上傳英文音頻。

主日2

第三問:你從何處知道你的愁苦呢?

答:從上帝的律法。

第四問:上帝的律法對我們有什麼要求?

答:基督在《馬太福音》二十二章三十七節至四十節中總括地教訓了我們:你要盡心、盡性、盡意、盡力愛主你的上帝。這是誡命中的第一,

且是最大的;其次也相仿,就是要愛人如己。這兩條誡命,是律法和先知一切道理的總綱。

第五問:你能全守這些誡命嗎?

回答:不能。因為我的本性是傾向於憎恨上帝和鄰舍的

禮拜五


教會的兒童室裡只有兩個孩子。他們年紀很小,剛剛學會說幾句簡單的話。他們都很可愛。他們也都是罪人。兒童室很大,裡面全都是各種各樣的玩具——一個廚房,一座滑梯,一些汽車和卡車,還有幾個裝滿玩具的箱子。然而在一個半小時裡,每當一個孩子拿起一種玩具開始玩,另一個孩子就堅信,沒有那個玩具他就活不下去了。小男孩拿起了一個玩具盤子,小女孩就扔下她所有的玩具盤子去搶那一個。小女孩爬上滑梯,小男孩就從房間的另一頭跑過來,喊著說:「該我了!」小女孩坐在小沙發的一端,小男孩就過來坐在另一端;小女孩伸直了腿佔位置,這樣小男孩就不能坐了。兩個孩子的年紀都很小,甚至不能流利地說話,他們花了一整晚試圖阻止對方得到他/她想要的。這完美地詮釋了教理問答所說的,我們的本性傾向於憎恨鄰舍!請讀羅馬書3:13-17,19。

羅馬書3:13「他們的喉嚨是敞開的墳墓;他們用舌頭弄詭詐。」「嘴唇裡有虺蛇的毒氣。」  

羅馬書3:14「滿口是咒罵苦毒。」  

羅馬書3:15「殺人流血,他們的腳飛跑,  

羅馬書3:16所經過的路,便行殘害暴虐的事;  

羅馬書3:17平安的路,他們未曾知道。」


羅馬書3:19我們曉得律法上的話,都是對律法以下之人說的,好塞住各人的口,叫普世的人都伏在上帝審判之下。

FRIDAY


There were only two children in the church nursery. They were both so young that they were just learning some basic words. They were both very cute. And they were both sinners. The nursery room was large and full of all kinds of playthings—a kitchen, a slide, cars and trucks, and boxes full of many other toys. But through the whole hour and a half, whenever one child picked up something and began to play with it, the other child became convinced that he or she could not live without that one toy. The boy picked up a toy dish, and the girl dropped all the dishes she had to try to take away that one. The girl started up the little slide, and the boy came running from the other side of the room, crying, 「My turn!」 The girl sat on one side of the little couch; the boy came to sit on the other side; the girl stretched out her legs to take all the space so he could not. Both children, too young to even speak well, spent the evening trying to make sure the other one could not have or do what he or she wanted. They were a perfect illustration of the catechism’s statement that we have a natural tendency to hate our neighbor! Read Romans 3:13–17, 19.

「Their throat is an open grave;

   they use their tongues to deceive.」

「The venom of asps is under their lips.」

   「Their mouth is full of curses and bitterness.」

「Their feet are swift to shed blood;

   in their paths are ruin and misery,

and the way of peace they have not known.」

Now we know that whatever the law says it speaks to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and the whole world may be held accountable to God.
