引言：单纯相信的力量

一、赦罪的主（可 2:1–12)        
耶稣回到迦百农，四个朋友因着单纯相信，把瘫子从屋顶缒到祂面前；耶稣看见的不是他们的表现，而是他们“行动出来的信心”，因此宣告：“你的罪赦了。”祂显明真正的问题不是瘫痪的脚，而是被罪捆住的生命；也显明祂就是那一位拥有赦罪权柄的主。

相反地，文士只停留在“心里议论”，虽然看见神迹，却不愿相信。今天，我们也可能像众人只旁观、像文士只分析怀疑，或像四个朋友与瘫子一样，不复杂，只愿意来到耶稣面前。当主在呼召的时候，我们是停在思考与疑惑里，还是愿意突破一切来到祂面前？耶稣不是要完全的人祂才接纳，而是要愿意来的人祂就赦免。

二、呼召的主（可 2:13–17）
耶稣经过税关，看见利未，就简单一句：“你跟从我来。” 利未毫无犹豫地站起来，放下过去、放下安全感、放下别人对他的定义，进入一个没有回头路的呼召旅程。耶稣随后与一群税吏和罪人同席，显明祂呼召的不是完美的人，而是愿意的人；祂靠近的是软弱的人，而不是自以为义的人。

法利赛人却因着宗教标准而论断，无法接受这份超越规条的恩典。今天，主仍像当日一样呼召我们：祂不看我们的背景，不看我们的表现，只看我们的“愿意”。我是否因自卑而不敢回应？或因自己觉得表现不错而失去敏锐？若耶稣今天对你说“你来跟从我”，你愿不愿意像利未一样站起来？

三、更新的主（可2:18-22）
耶稣用三个比喻说明了旧生命无法承载祂的新恩典。
	1. 新郎的来到 (v19-20)
	第一，新郎已经来到，信仰不是停在等待，而是进入与耶稣同行的更新。
	
	2. 新布补旧衣 (v21)
	第二，新布不能补旧衣，象征耶稣不是来修补我们，而是带来全新的生命。

	3. 新酒新皮带 (v22)
	第三、新酒需要新皮袋，代表祂不断扩张的恩膏需要被更新的心来承载。

今天我们常渴望突破，却紧抓旧模式、旧思维、旧态度，结果恩典来了却装不下。我们是否只想要新酒，却不愿成为新皮袋？是否仍停在过去，而不是进入耶稣已带来的新季节？愿我们都可以回应主，让祂更新，愿意柔软、扩张和预备好承载祂的新恩膏。

四、安息的主（可2:23-28）
耶稣借着门徒在安息日掐麦穗，显明祂就是安息日的主。安息不是来自规条，而是来自祂的同在。法利赛人坚持律法细节，却失去神设立安息日的心意。其实安息是为了人得享轻省，而不是让人背负更多压力。

耶稣提到大卫吃陈设饼，强调怜悯胜于规条，关系高于仪式。今天，许多信徒外在守规矩，却内心仍疲惫、焦虑、无法安息，因为关注的是“我做得够吗”，而不是“主是否在这里”。那我们有没有把信仰当成重担？有没有让规条取代关系？真正的安息不是我们停下来，而是我们在祂里面停下来。

总结：
跟随主耶稣，不需要复杂，只需要全心。
跟随不是成绩，是关系；不是表现，是心；不是压力，是恩典。




    
  

Mark 1: The Kingdom of God Arrives—Manifesting Great Power

Speaker: Ps Asher

Introduction: The Power of Simple Faith

I. The Lord Who Forgives (Mark 2:1–12)

When Jesus returned to Capernaum, four friends, out of simple faith, lowered the paralytic through the roof to bring him before Jesus. What Jesus saw was not their performance, but their faith in action. Therefore, He declared, “Your sins are forgiven.” Jesus revealed that the real problem was not the paralyzed legs, but a life bound by sin. He also revealed that He is the One with the authority to forgive sins.

In contrast, the scribes only “reasoned in their hearts.” Though they witnessed the miracle, they refused to believe. Today, we too may become like the crowd—just observing; like the scribes—analysing and doubting; or like the four friends and the paralytic—simple, willing to come before Jesus. When the Lord calls, do we stay in our thoughts and doubts? Or are we willing to break through everything and come to Him? Jesus does not accept only those who are perfect; He forgives those who are willing to come.

II. The Lord Who Calls (Mark 2:13–17)

As Jesus passed by the tax booth, He saw Levi and simply said, “Follow Me.”
Without hesitation, Levi stood up—leaving behind his past, his security, and others’ labels—and entered a calling with no turning back. Jesus then dined with tax collectors and sinners, showing that His call is not for the perfect but for the willing; He draws near not to the self-righteous, but to the weak.

But the Pharisees judged according to religious standards and could not accept grace that surpassed regulations. Today, the Lord still calls us the same way—He does not look at our background or performance but at our willingness. Do I avoid responding because of inferiority? Or have I lost sensitivity because I think I’m doing well? If Jesus said to you today, “Follow Me,” would you stand up like Levi?

III. The Lord Who Renews (Mark 2:18–22)

Jesus used three illustrations to show that the old life cannot contain His new grace.

      1. The Bridegroom Has Arrived (v.19–20)
      The bridegroom is already here. Faith is not merely waiting but walking in renewal with Jesus.

       2. New Patch on Old Garment (v.21)
      New cloth cannot patch an old garment—Jesus did not come to fix us but to give us a completely new life.

      3. New Wine and New Wineskins (v.22)
      New wine requires new wineskins—the ever-expanding anointing of God must be carried by a renewed heart.


Today, we often desire breakthrough but cling tightly to old patterns, old mindsets, and old attitudes. As a result, when grace comes, we cannot receive it. Do we want new wine without becoming new wineskins? Are we still stuck in the past instead of entering the new season Jesus has brought? May we allow the Lord to renew us—becoming soft, enlarged, and ready to carry His fresh anointing.


IV. The Lord of Rest (Mark 2:23–28)

Through the disciples plucking grain on the Sabbath, Jesus revealed that He is the Lord of the Sabbath. Rest does not come from rules but from His presence. The Pharisees held tightly to legalistic details yet missed God’s heart behind the Sabbath. The Sabbath was made for people to enjoy relief, not to burden them with more pressure.

Jesus referenced David eating the consecrated bread, emphasizing that mercy is greater than regulation, and relationship is greater than ritual. Today, many believers keep external rules but remain inwardly weary, anxious, and restless because their focus is “Have I done enough?” instead of “Is the Lord here?” Have we turned faith into a burden? Have rules replaced relationship? True rest is not merely stopping; it is stopping in Him.

Conclusion

To follow the Lord Jesus, we do not need complexity—only wholeheartedness.
Following Him is not about performance but about relationship.not about results, but about the heart.	not about pressure, but about grace.
