每日箴言
耶稣,宣告自由的使者
“今天这经应验在你们耳中了。” - 路 4:21
灵修
以赛亚书61章让我们看到,在神的国度中更新的生命是怎样的,不过,那些应许当时仍然不会完全应验,直到耶稣开始传道的时候宣告说“今天这经应验在你们耳中了”,这才成为事实。
耶稣的信息,是一个恩典和赦免的宣告;“耶和华的恩年”(又称为禧年),是“在遍地 ...... 宣告自由”的时候 (利未记25:10)。那些因为贫穷卖了自己的产业或者卖身作奴隶的人,可以得回他们的产业。那些被欺压的、坐牢的,和因为贫穷作奴隶的,都能够经历到神丰盛的恩典。
你有没有经历过感觉自己不在神的计划中、没有圣灵的同在,或是与耶稣丰盛的生命恩典隔绝了?耶稣在这里的第一篇讲道,正是神赐给你的信息。你是否因为生命中的不幸感到沮丧呢?你有没有被抑郁或罪疚所困呢?你是否成为暴食、自大,和财富权力的奴隶呢?在耶稣里,禧年所宣告的自主和自由正是你的。
神的国包括罪得赦免、从被掳得释放,和禧年的喜乐。当赦免别人,就像你已蒙赦免一样,并且去享受恩典的生活吧!
祷告
禧年,就是神的恩年,已经在基督里来临了。主啊,我们感谢祢,耶稣充满能力的信息在今天向我们保证,我们的生命必充满恩典、丰盛喜乐、自由和自主。奉祂的名祷告,阿们。
普世佳音每日箴言
Jesus, The Kingdom Messenger
“Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.” — Luke 4:21
Devotion
Isaiah 61 presents a vision of life restored in the kingdom of God. But those promises did not fully take shape until Jesus proclaimed at the beginning of his ministry, “Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”
Jesus’ message was a declaration of grace and forgiveness. “The year of the Lord’s favor” —also known as the Year of Jubilee—was an announcement of “liberty throughout the land” (Leviticus 25:10). Those who had sold away their family land or given themselves in slavery because they were poor would have their inheritance returned to them. The oppressed, the prisoners, and slaves to wealth would all experience God’s abundant grace.
Do you ever feel left out of God’s plan, removed from the Spirit’s presence, or alienated from the abundant grace of Jesus? This first sermon of Jesus is a divine message for you. Are you discouraged by tragedies in your life? Are you a prisoner to depression or guilt? Are you enslaved to excess appetites, or to your own pride and financial power? Jubilee liberty and freedom are yours in Jesus.
The kingdom of God includes forgiveness of sins, release from captivity, and jubilee joy. Forgive as you have been forgiven, and enjoy the life of grace.
Prayer
The Year of Jubilee, the time of God’s favor, has arrived in Jesus. Thank you, Lord, that our lives can be filled with grace, abundant joy, freedom, and liberty because Jesus’ powerful message is a word for today. Amen.
