路加福音［第9章］|Book of Luke 9【跟从主的门徒之道】
07/11/2023
引言:
耶稣差派祂的门徒去医病、赶鬼、传天国的福音，因此祂对门徒有很多的训练和调教，让我们看见正确的跟从主的门徒之道。
一、奉主差遣 一切从简（V1-9）
耶稣召集门徒之后，赐给门徒赶鬼和医治疾病的权柄，清楚指出门徒出去的使命是‘传神国的道’和‘医治病人’。并对他们说：你行路，不要多带东西。当他们照着耶稣所吩咐的出去做，不但震动百姓，就连当时分封的王希律听见耶稣所做的事，也想要见祂。
今天我们事奉主、传福音，也要一切从简，凭信心倚靠赐能力和供应的主。当自我的东西少了，对神的信靠就多了。如果我们自己都不信靠神，怎么能告诉别人要信靠神呢？
二、慷慨献上 就有神迹（V10-17）
五饼二鱼的神迹，是唯一在四卷福音书中都记载的神迹。这个神迹让我们知道，主耶稣要基督徒慷慨待人，互相款待。只要愿意献上，主就让我们经历五饼二鱼的神迹！
耶稣把我们的有限拿到手中，我们的有限就不再一样了！我们的有限在自己的手中，也许就只能满足自己。但献在耶稣的手中，就可以服事众人！
三、跟从耶稣 要背十架（V18-27）
耶稣也要门徒做好吃苦的准备，告诉他们：人子必须受许多的苦，若有人要跟从我，就当舍己，天天背起他的十字架来跟从我。这些都是要门徒明白一件事，他们所跟随的，是一位正要经历苦难的基督。所以，我们跟随主也要有这样受苦、舍己的心志。
现在有许多胸前戴着十字架项链的基督徒，却很少真实背起十字架跟从主的门徒。
四、确认主的 神圣身份（V28-36）
登山变像是对耶稣身份的神圣确认，显出耶稣神圣的荣耀。摩西和以利亚的出现象征着律法和先知，都是要为耶稣的弥赛亚身分做见证。而神从云中发出的声音证实耶稣是祂的儿子。这个事件坚固了门徒对耶稣的身份和使命的确认。
在我们跟从主的道路中，要不断地确认主的神圣身份，我们才有信心在任何环境，听从主跟随主。
五、耶稣指出 门徒不足（V37-62）
1. 不够信心 赶不出鬼（V37–42）
2. 不能明白 主的使命（V43-45）
3. 不清楚 神国的次序（V46–48）
4. 不理解 主来的目的（V49–56）
5. 不知道 跟从主条件（V57–62）
总结：
门徒在跟随耶稣的道路上，需要知道的、不断要学习的事情很多，他们犯的错误也很多；我们其实也是一样的。让我们一起学习，不是手扶着犁，频频向后看，而是一起紧紧跟随主。我们不要走在神的前面，但也不要远远落在神的后面，更不要掉队！
Luke 9 The Way of Discipleship Following the Lord
GK611 Morning Devotion
07/11/2023
The Morning Devotion Speaker: Ps. Daniel Kew
Introduction：
Jesus sent His disciples to heal the sick, cast out demons, and preach the gospel of the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, He gave his disciples a lot of training and discipline, allowing us to see the correct way to follow the Lord as a disciple.
1. Being sent by the Lord and keeping everything simple (V1-9)
After Jesus gathered his disciples, he gave them the authority to cast out demons and cure diseases. He clearly stated that the mission of the disciples was to " preach the kingdom of God" and "heal the sick." And he said to them: When you travel, take nothing for the journey. When they went out to do what Jesus commanded, not only did they shock the people, but even Herod, the tetrarch at the time, heard about what Jesus had done and wanted to see Him.
Today when we serve the Lord and preach the gospel, we must be simple in everything and rely on the Lord who gives us power and provision by faith. When there is less ego, there is more trust in God. If we don’t trust God ourselves, how can we tell others to trust God?
2. Give generously and there will be miracles (V10-17)
The miracle of five loaves and two fish is the only miracle recorded in all four gospels. This miracle lets us know that the Lord Jesus wants Christians to be generous to others and treat each other with kindness. If we are willing to offer it, the Lord will let us experience the miracle of five loaves and two fish!
Jesus takes our limitations into His hands and our limitations are never the same again! Our limitations are in our own hands, and we may only be able to satisfy ourselves. But if we put ourselves in the hands of Jesus, we can serve everyone!
3. To follow Jesus is to bear the cross (V18-27)
Jesus also wanted his disciples to be prepared to endure hardship, telling them that: The Son of Man must suffer a lot. If anyone wants to follow me, he must deny himself and take up his cross every day and follow me. All of this is to make the disciples understand one thing. They are following the Christ who is going through suffering. Therefore, when we follow the Lord, we must also have the intention to suffer and deny ourselves.
Today there are many Christians who wear cross necklaces on their chests, but very few are disciples who actually take up the cross and follow the Lord.
4. Confirmation of the Lord’s divine identity (V28-36)
The Transfiguration is a divine confirmation of Jesus’ identity and reveals his divine glory. The appearance of Moses and Elijah symbolised the Law and the prophets, both testifying to Jesus',the identity of the Messiah. And God’s voice from the cloud confirmed that Jesus was His Son. This event solidified the disciples' confirmation of Jesus' identity and mission.
As we follow the Lord, we must constantly confirm the Lord’s divine identity. Only then will we have the confidence to obey and follow the Lord in any circumstances.
5. Jesus pointed out the lack of disciples (V37-62)
1. Not enough faith to cast out demons (V37–42)
2. Not able to understand the Lord’s mission (V43-45)
3. Not clear about the order of the Kingdom of God (V46–48)
4. Not understanding the purpose of the Lord’s coming (V49–56)
5. Not knowing the conditions to follow the Lord (V57–62)
Conclusion：
There were many things that the disciples needed to know and constantly learn on their way to following Jesus, and they made many mistakes; in fact, we are the same. Let us learn together not to put our hands on the plough and frequently look behind us, but to follow the Lord closely together. We don’t want to be ahead of God, but we also don’t want to lag far behind God, let alone fall behind!
