公义的光线

“向你们敬畏我名的人，必有公义的日头出现，其光线有医治之能。” - 玛 4:2

　　玛拉基书快要完结时，提到一个美丽的应许，是给那些承认自己犯了藐视神的罪、又把名字写在“纪念册”上来向神重新委身的人的。这个应许说，公义必像日头的光线，照在他们身上，在那些光线中，他们便得医治。

　　我们自然会问，玛拉基所说的医治究竟指什么呢。玛拉基再次提到，在末后的日子，整个世界将会像被火炼净一样，他指出，没有人能当得起神炼净的火（玛拉基书 3:2-3）。换句话说，我们都是罪人。然而，我们可以有不同的结局。那些谦卑承认是自己的罪使自己远离神的人，他们必得蒙赦免。那些始终不敬畏神的人，将会被那烧尽一切的火毁灭。

　　和玛拉基那个年代把名字写在纪念册上的人一样，今天我们也有机会委身或再一次委身于神的。如果我们忏悔自己的罪和过犯，忏悔我们对别人的伤害，并忏悔我们的罪令我们远离神，那么，神的公义也会像日头照在我们身上了。

祷告

 

 

亲爱的耶稣，祢从死里复活，祢的公义照在我身上。我知道祢已为我偿还一切罪债，求祢悦纳我的祷告，又帮助我委身于祢。奉耶稣名求，阿们。

 

玛拉基书 3:16-4:3

16那时，敬畏耶和华的彼此谈论，耶和华侧耳而听，且有纪念册在他面前，记录那敬畏耶和华、思念他名的人。
17万军之耶和华说：“在我所定的日子，他们必属我，特特归我。我必怜恤他们，如同人怜恤服事自己的儿子。
18那时你们必归回，将善人和恶人，事奉神的和不事奉神的，分别出来。”
1万军之耶和华说：“那日临近，势如烧着的火炉，凡狂傲的和行恶的必如碎秸，在那日必被烧尽，根本枝条一无存留。
2但向你们敬畏我名的人必有公义的日头出现，其光线有医治之能。你们必出来跳跃如圈里的肥犊。
3你们必践踏恶人；在我所定的日子，他们必如灰尘在你们脚掌之下。这是万军之耶和华说的。  

Rays Of Righteousness

"For you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its rays." — Malachi 4:2

英语音频 English Audio

This beautiful promise near the end of the book of Malachi was for those who felt convicted of their disrespect for God and who signed the "scroll of remembrance" to recommit themselves to God. Righteousness would rise up to shine on them like the rays of the sun. And in those rays they would find healing.

We might reasonably ask what sort of healing Malachi had in mind. Malachi talks again about the last days when the world will be purified as with fire. He had pointed out that no one was safe from God's refining fire (Malachi 3:2-3). In other words, we are all sinners. The difference is that those who live in humble repentance for the sin that makes them distant from God will be forgiven of their sins. Those who will not fear God will be consumed as in a fire that burns everything completely.

Just as those who signed the scroll of remembrance in Malachi's day, we too have the opportunity to commit or recommit ourselves to God. If we can accept and repent of our own sin and imperfection, the hurts we have caused others, and the distance our sin has created between ourselves and God, then God's righteousness will rise like the sun on us as well.
