Piper mentions the massive 21-volume set of Simeon’s sermons that form a
commentary on the Bible. Having read what I did above, I was eager to get
ahold of these. Sadly they are not in print. So I have started a personal
campaign to persuade the good folks at Logos to produce a version of them.

Then there is lunch about 1 hour.
We are luck to get home by 2 pm.
If we go shopping afterward, then the whole day is gone.

10:34-36Jesus meant that His immediate purpose would entail conflict even
though Messiah would ultimately bring peace (Isa. 11; Luke 2:14). People
would divide over whether Jesus was the Messiah.
Micah 7:6 refers to rebellion that happened during King Ahaz’s reign. It
pointed to a greater division in Jesus’ day. In both cases the root of the
conflict involved righteousness and unrighteousness.

“他们失脚的时候近了。”

在这一节经文中,神声称他要报复邪恶不信的以色列人。他们是他的百姓,有着他恩典的

受了上天的栽培,却结出苦毒的果子,正如我所引经文前的两节所表明的。我所选用的经

他们常有沉沦的危险,象一个在滑地上行走的人,常常有跌倒的危险一样。他们的沉沦,
是用失脚来表明。《诗篇》七十三首18,19节也说:“祢实在把他们安在滑地,使他们掉
在沉沦之中。”
这段经文也表明他们常常有突然沉沦的危险。正如一个走在滑地的人,时刻都可能跌倒,
他不能预先料到下一步是否会跌倒或站住;他一旦要跌倒,就立刻跌倒,而没有预告。恰

Elihu was a wise man, exceeding wise, though not as wise as the all-wise
Jehovah, who sees light in the clouds, and finds order in confusion; hence
Elihu, being much puzzled at beholding Job thus afflicted, cast about him to
find the cause of it, and he very wisely hit upon one of the most likely
reasons, although it did not happen to be the right one in Job |

约拿单·爱德华滋
又承认自己在世上是客旅,是寄居的。说这样话的人,是表明自己要找一个家乡。
使徒在这里将信的恩赐在《旧约》中的圣徒身上所产生的光荣佳美果实,加以表扬。
在本章前段,他特别叙述了亚伯、以诺、挪亚、亚伯拉罕与撒拉、以撒、雅各的信。他在
提及这些人以后,就接着说:“这些人都是存着信心死的,并没有得着所应许的,却从远
处望见,且欢喜迎接,又承认自己在世上是客旅是寄居的。”使徒在这些话里似乎特别指
到亚伯拉罕与撒拉,并那些与他们从迦勒底的吾珥与哈兰同来的亲族,这一点是在本章十
五节的话上表明出来:“他们若想念所离开的家乡,还有可以回去的机会。”
这里我们要注意两点:
这些圣徒承认,他们在世上是客旅,是寄居的。经上记载亚伯拉罕的话说:“我在你们中
间是外人,是寄居的。”(创二十三4)似乎列祖都承认他们在世上是客旅,所以雅各对

妇人焉能忘记她吃奶的婴孩,不怜恤她所生的儿子?即或有忘记的,我却不忘记你!

这段经文最初是写给神古代的子民犹太人的。在他们最后归正之前,我相信神会开启
他们的眼睛,使他们看见他们的罪和悲惨处境。"他们要仰望自己所扎的人"(亚十二10)
,并且痛哭流涕。听说神要赐给他们怜悯,他们无法相信:"锡安说:'耶和华离弃了我,

(Robert Murray MacCheyne, 1813-1843)
罗得的妻子在后边回头一看,就变成了一根盐柱。
——创十九26世记
在整本《圣经》里,没有比罗得及其家庭的历史更发人深省的了。他自己的人生清楚
显明了义人是如何在几乎不可能的情况下得救;他的女婿则代表了这个不经意的,享乐的
世界是怎样看待福音;他的妻子,则是那种被说服,但从未归正的人:她逃离了将要来的
忿怒,却还是毁灭了;而天使拉住迟延不走的家人的手,则象征了神拯救灵魂时所用的那
种仁慈的"暴力"和全能的怜悯。
今天我想帮助你们思想罗得妻子的事例,来看那些步其后尘的人会有什么下场。
教义:许多灵魂被唤醒,逃离了忿怒,却又回头看,结果失丧了。
1.许多人受良心意识到的恐惧驱使,抽身飞逃;但当这种恐惧平息下来时,他们回
头看,结果失丧了。

因一人的悖逆,众人成为罪人;照样,因一人的顺从,众人也成为义了。
——罗马书五9
我们成为罪人和成为义人的两条道路恰恰是平行的。我们一读这节经文,就能看出这
个关系。我们的眼睛越被开启,看到里面蕴藏的奇妙真理,就越能发现,所有称义的人被
称义与他成为罪人的途径是一模一样的。
未归正之人不明白这个真理。"属血气的人不领会神圣灵的事,并且不能知道"(哥前
二14)。我相信你们那些属肉体的人今天若稍稍明白这句话的意思,会认为它无比愚拙,
虽然其实它是神拯救罪人的方案。如果福音要取悦于属肉体的人,那它就不是福音,它就
会不攻自破。
你们了解这两个真理,实在是非常重要。它们对灵魂而言就是生命。你必须了解第一
个,你是怎样成为罪人的,这样你才能躺在基督的脚下,象一个死亡的,被定罪的人;你
也必须了解第二个,罪人是怎样成为义的,以便你能获得信心所带来的所有平安和喜乐。
但愿圣灵今天开启你我所有人的眼睛!

耶稣将这比喻告诉他们,但他们不明白所说的是什么意思。所以耶稣又对他们说:"我
实实在在的告诉你们,我就是羊的门。凡在我以先来的都是贼、是强盗:羊却不听他们。
我就是门,凡从我进来的,必然得救,并且出入得草吃。盗贼来,无非要偷窃、杀害、毁
坏,我来了,是要叫羊得生命,并且得的更丰盛。"
——约十6-10
基督是所有教师中最和善的一位。在这里,对着一群无知而且充满偏见的犹太人,祂
仍持如此和善的态度。祂告诉他们一个比喻,然而他们不明白祂说的是什么意思。基督将
这比喻又说了一遍。祂向他们描述了真牧人和假牧人,描述了进羊圈的门。然而他们仍不
知所云。于是祂说:"我实实在在的告诉你们,我就是羊的门。"你看祂是多么耐心地教导
他们。弟兄姐妹们,基督今天仍是这样一个和善耐心的教师。我们中间难道没有愚笨而且
充满偏见的人吗?祂并没有"命上加命,令上加令,律上加律,例上加例;这里一点,那
里一点"(赛廿八10)。祂 |

The following are excerpts of a sermon given yesterday by the Rev. Steven J.

Roy Foster was 17 when his father was about to enter glory. His dad,
knowing his time on earth was at hand, asked to meet with him alone to share
with his son the most important thing in his life.
He said, "Roy, I want you to make me a promise. I want you to never make
anything in life more important t |

Dear sister, keep praying and give your spiritual burden to the Lord. He
shall direct your path. This is really my experience. I used to be treated
badly or say be taken advantage by someone I trusted. But the Lord gave me
His word through a Sunday sermon, saying that He will judge at the end. I
rejoiced and cried.
Until now, I haven't seen anything bad happended to them, but I know the
Lord will judge if they |
