雅各书 第三章|Book of James 3【言语与智慧】
28/02/2024
一、言语牵动人生（3:1-4）
3:1我的弟兄们，不要多人作师傅，因为晓得我们要受更重的判断。 别抢着当老师，教师都是需要用口舌讲话，但是所讲的话是否完全无误呢？原来我们口中的话是会面对审判的，因此要加倍小心。
1.言语无过管控全人（V2）
一句话说得合宜，如同金苹果落在银网子里；这就是锦上添花，十分完美。如果能够真诚的把话说好，而不是口是心非的花言巧语。没有过失的话语就是完全人，往往这样的人也可以活出更好的人生。所谓祸从口出，就是没有把话说得合宜的结果。
2.马嘴嚼环调动全身（V3）
一匹马的力量比人大很多，人如何能够驾驭马匹呢？一个安置在马嘴里的嚼环，便可以牵动一匹高头大马。所畏一物制一物，明白什么是可以掌管或左右事情的【关键点】非常重要。
3.轮船小舵转动大船（V4）
要如何转动一艘船可以运载数千人的轮船呢？原来也是受控于一个小小的船舵。就好比一间教会要往什么方向发展？除了神的带领之外，教会牧者的心有什么感动，往往就是整个教会的关键导航仪。
小结：上述例子都是为了要表达一个人的处事为人如何？关键在于口中所说的话！但是口中的话乃是出自人内心的思维。所以要把话说好，恐怕要先对付是生命的问题。
二、毒舌败坏人生（3:5-12）
1.舌头为何难制服？（V5-8）
原来舌头上的话是很难被制服的。按照罪人的本性，人里面的罪性很容易透过言语就被恶散播出来。要驯服各样动物原来比驯服人还容易多了。满有毒气的舌头显然会败坏人的生命。
2.舌头显明人本质！（V9-12）
人里面是什么？开口就显明出来。正如主耶稣说的：“什么树就结什么果？”我们里面如果是属于主的，有圣灵在外面里面，怎么还可以发出苦毒咒诅的话语呢？这显然是癌症的病毒在心里作祟，我们需要不断的服用感恩与赞美为“抗生素”，让我们的口不断发出感恩与赞美。
三、领受上头智慧（3:13-18）
1.真智慧温柔且美善（V13）
我们要作个智慧人，就是要有见识，能够善解人意。智慧的温柔是一句非常经典的描述；而且这就是基督徒生命中的善行啊！这话所形容之人的整体表现是一个说话很温柔的，给人的感觉是舒服又得体的。而且带来的果效是美善和造就的。我们如何能有这样智慧呢？回到第一章5-6节所说的信心的求智慧。
2.假智慧显负面情绪（V14-16）
相反而言，如果不是智慧的温柔，而是苦毒、嫉妒、纷争，带来血气和扰乱的，哪怕是看来很有智慧，但是这智慧却是从魔鬼来的。经文确实是说得很白，可见情绪要有圣灵的节制来掌控，这是非常重要。
3.神给的智慧显善果（V17-18）
最后再确定从神而来的智慧是什么样的“药效”？清洁没有污染、和平而不是纷争、温良柔顺而不是凶恶刚愎、满有怜悯而不是乐酷无情、多结善果而不是为非作歹等等。总而言之结果是和谐的，带来和好的收场。
总结：说好话作好人！
我们是不是这样的一个说话有智慧的好好人呢？ 已经信主、受洗还不能保证你就是这样的人！而是要把这些真理维生素A-Z慢慢给吃进去，随之而来的生命就不再一样。
James 3 Words and Wisdom
GK611 Morning Devotion
28 Feb 2024
The Morning Devotion Speaker: Rev David Tan
Introduction: A "perfect" wife ...!
1.Words influences Life together (3:1-4)
3:1 My brethren, let not many of you become teachers, knowing that we shall receive a stricter judgment. Don't rush to be teachers. Teachers are required to speak with their mouths, but are the words spoken completely inerrant? It turns out that the words of our mouth will face judgment, so be doubly careful.
(1) The whole person is under the control of the word without fault (V2)
A word well spoken is like apples of gold falling into a net of silver; it is the icing on the cake, perfect. If the words can be spoken well in sincerity, and not in a flowery way with the mouth. Words without fault are perfect people, and often such people can live a better life as well. The so-called trouble comes out of the mouth is the result of not saying the words appropriately.
(2) A horse's mouth masticatory cycle to mobilise the whole body (V3)
A horse is much more powerful than a man, so how can a man ride a horse? A chewing ring placed in the horse's mouth can move a tall and big horse. The fear of one thing to rule another is very important to understand what is the [key point] that can take charge or sway things.
(3) A small rudder on a ship turns a large ship (V4)
How do you turn a ship that can carry thousands of people? It turns out that it is also controlled by a small rudder. It is just like what direction does a church want to go? In addition to God's leading, what moves the heart of the church pastor is often the key navigator of the whole church.
Summary: The above examples are meant to convey the idea that the key to a person's behaviour is the words that come out of his mouth. The key lies in the words that come out of one's mouth! But the words that come out of the mouth are the thoughts of the heart. So I am afraid that in order to speak well, we must first deal with the problem of life.
2. A Poisonous Tongue Corrupts Life (3:5-12)
(1) Why is the tongue difficult to subdue? (V5-8)
It turns out that words on the tongue are hard to be subdued. According to the nature of a sinner, the sinfulness in a person can easily be spread by evil through words. It turns out to be much easier to tame all kinds of animals than it is to tame people. A poisonous tongue obviously corrupts a person's life.
(2) The tongue reveals the nature of man! (V9-12)
What is in man? The opening of the mouth reveals it. As the Lord Jesus said, "What kind of tree brings forth what kind of fruit?" If we belong to the Lord on the inside and have the Holy Spirit on the outside and inside, how can we still give out words of bitterness and cursing? This is obviously a cancerous virus in our hearts, and we need to keep taking the "antibiotic" of thanksgiving and praise, so that our mouths will continue to give out thanksgiving and praise.
3. Receiving Wisdom from Above (3:13-18)
(1) True wisdom is gentle and beautiful (V13)
We are to be wise, that is, insightful and capable of good understanding. Wisdom's gentleness is a very classic description; and what a good deed it is in the life of a Christian! The overall expression of the person described in these words is one who is soft-spoken and gives the impression of being comfortable and decent. And the result is goodness and edification. How can we be this wise? Go back to the faith that seeks wisdom as described in verses 5-6 of chapter one.
(2) False wisdom reveals negativity (V14-16)
On the contrary, if it is not the gentleness of wisdom, but bitterness, envy, strife, which brings bloodshed and disturbance, even if it seems to be wise, yet this wisdom is from the devil. The Scripture is indeed very plain, seeing that it is very important for emotions to be controlled by the moderation of the Holy Spirit.
(3) God-Given Wisdom Shows Good Results (V17-18)
Finally, what is the "potency" of wisdom from God? Cleanliness without pollution, peace instead of strife, meekness instead of viciousness, compassion instead of ruthlessness, fruitfulness instead of wrongdoing, etc. In short, the result is harmony. All in all, the result is harmony, bringing about a peaceful end.
Conclusion: Speak well and be good!
Are we such good people who speak wisely? Having been converted and baptised does not guarantee that you are such a person! Rather, you have to give these truth vitamins A-Z slowly, and the life that follows will never be the same again.
