天国需要你我来启动

讲员:张世勇弟兄

经文:马太福音20:29-34

引言:

近来我们都提及很多的神迹,那我们是否相信神迹真的会发生呢?是否我们这里的每一个人,都真的相信神迹会发生?我们都愿意兴起天国的潮流—神迹吗?

他们出耶利哥的时候,有极多的人跟随他。」(太20:29)

当我们看这节的时候,我们要了解其背景。为什么会有极多的人跟随?是什么吸引这极多的人跟随?是耶稣在耶利哥城行了很多神迹及教导吗?他们是看见和听见耶稣所行的神迹,就紧紧的跟随他。我们是否已紧紧的跟随教会的脚步,愿意相信神迹会发生在12月24日当天?

1)紧紧跟着圣灵的消息

在这电子的世代,我们都会听到一些内幕的消息,比如:Apple i-Series。而我们都会紧紧跟着这个消息,会听说 iphone 5会在什么时候出售。我们可以把这样紧紧跟随电子消息的心转化成渴慕神的神迹发生在我们的当中。

2)有渴慕的心 (30节)

两个瞎子作在路旁,听说是耶稣经过,就喊着说:‘主啊,大卫的子孙,可怜我们吧!’ 」

我们就很像这两个瞎子的渴慕,当我们听到 Iphone 5 会出产的时候,我们就会有一个期待,期待 Iphone 5 真的会出产,因为这是我们需要的。我们有任何的需要吗?天国也有他的出产,那就是神迹。而神迹能生产出喜乐、富足、医治、平安等等。我们要有一颗渴慕的心,渴慕神的神迹在我们当中。我们要亲眼看见瞎眼的得看见,瘸腿的行走!

3) 期待的心再加信心 (31节)

众人责备他们,不许他们作声。他们却越发喊着说:主啊,大卫的子孙,可怜我们吧!

当我们听到 Iphone 5有很多不好的消息时,那是否会打击你的信心吗?我们是否像这两个瞎子,就算别人叫他们不要作声,他们仍然期待并相信耶稣会医治他们。就是因为他们这期待并相信的心,他们得到了医治。当我们有这样期待的心时,这时候神就会看见。因着我们饥渴慕义的心,神就听见我们的回应。

「耶稣就动了慈心,把他们的眼睛一摸,他们立刻看见,就跟从了耶稣 」34节

天国与世界的不同之处,就是“慈心”。当我们有慈心,就会启动天国在我们当中。天国是我们需要去学习来启动的。

若我们觉得自己没有这怜悯的心,或觉得自己还不够,来怜悯还没有得着救恩的人,我们要向神求。求神赐给我们对失丧灵魂怜悯的心。

 

Matthew 20:29-34

We have been mentioned about wonders and miracles recently, but are we really believe miracles will happen? Are everyone of us, listen up, everyone of us, believes that miracle will happen? Are we willing to build up the trend of kingdom of heaven, the miracles in our midst?

Verse 29: When they walk out of Jericho, large crowd followed Jesus

When we looking at this verse, we have to understand its background. Why are there large crowd of people followed Him? What is it that attracted them to follow Jesus? Is it because of Jesus performed miracles in Jericho? It is because they have heard about the news about Jesus performed miracles.

1. Follow closely to the news of the Holy Spirit
By following Holy Spirit closely, we are able to know what is the news and the trend of the Kingdom of Heaven.

2. Have a desperation heart
Verse 30: Two blind men were sitting by the roadside, and when they heard that Jesus was going by, they shouted, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!

We must have the same desperate heart like this 2 blind men, because that is what we actually need. Is there anything else we need? Which thing that men cannot give or solves.

3. Faith
Verse 31: The crowd rebuked them and told them to be quiet, but they shouted all the louder, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!”

When there are many people who go against our desperation, trying to rebuke us, what will we do? Will we give up due to rebukes? When we face this situation still having faith in God, God sees. When we have the heart of hunger and thirst for righteousness, God not only sees and also response to us.

Verse 34: Jesus had compassion on them and touched their eyes. Immediately they received their sight and followed him.
Key point: Jesus had compassion on them. Do you our generation had been controlled by electronic products? It had apart the relationship between us and people around us.

Kingdom of heaven is bases on compassion, then only we can ignite the kingdom of heaven in our midst. Let us all start to have this compassion heart today.

If we felt we do not have this heart of compassion, felt our hearts have been captured by the era of technology and do not have compassion heart for lost souls, let us pray and receive the power of the Holy Spirit to fall upon us and have compassion on us so that we could have the heart of compassion to the others!
