农夫,麦子和稗子

“耶稣又设个比喻对他们说,天国好像人撒好种在田里。” - 太 13:24

这里有另一个撒种的比喻。这一次的重点是在所撒种子的种类——以及由它长出的植物上。好的麦种被撒在田里,稗子也撒下去。有人建议说薅出稗子,主人拒绝了。因为他希望麦子继续生长,于是决定先留着稗子。如果现在将稗子薅出来,那么麦子也会被拔出来。

主人知道,在收割的季节,会更容易将麦子和稗子区分开来。在此期间,小麦会长大成为小麦,而稗子仍将是稗子。容这两样一齐生长成熟吧,到时候就能轻松区分出来;麦子的果实显而易见,与稗子形成鲜明对比。

我们每天活在这世界的田地里,这幅图画描绘了神的话语和生命如何在我们里面生长。

人很容易迎合别人,变得和周围的人一样。当我们被这个世界的罪和邪恶包围时,可能会被不确定感征服。但我们的主知道我们,祂选择不把我们从田里挪去。祂允许我们与稗子形成对比,结出我们理应结出的果实。

这个比喻对我们来说是个鼓舞人心的信息:信靠田地的主人,祂的爱会引你迈向成熟。

祷告

主啊,感谢你爱我。在一切的环境中,请帮助我拥有自信,做你创造的我自己。奉你的名祷告,阿们。

 

马太福音 13:24-30

24 耶稣又设个比喻对他们说:“天国好像人撒好种在田里,
25 及至人睡觉的时候,有仇敌来,将稗子撒在麦子里就走了。
26 到长苗吐穗的时候,稗子也显出来。
27 田主的仆人来告诉他说:‘主啊,你不是撒好种在田里吗?从哪里来的稗子呢?’
28 主人说:‘这是仇敌做的。’仆人说:‘你要我们去薅出来吗?’
29 主人说:‘不必,恐怕薅稗子,连麦子也拔出来。
30 容这两样一齐长,等着收割。当收割的时候,我要对收割的人说:先将稗子薅出来,捆成捆,留着烧,唯有麦子要收在仓里。’”

Sower, Seeds, Weeds

Jesus told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field.” — Matthew 13:24

英语音频 English Audio

Here we have another parable about sowing seed. This time the focus is on the kind of seed that is sown—and the plants that grow from it. Good wheat seed is planted in a field, and weeds are also sown. Given the choice to remove the weeds, the owner declines; wanting the wheat to grow, he decides to let the weeds remain. If the weeds were uprooted now, the wheat would also be uprooted.

The owner knows that at harvest time it will be easier to separate the wheat from the weeds. In the meantime, the wheat will grow as wheat, and the weeds will remain weeds. Let them grow to maturity, and then the two can be separated easily; the wheat’s fruit is obvious in contrast with that of the weeds.

This is a picture of how God’s Word and life grow in us while we live each day in the field of his world. It is easy to fit in, to be like people around us. And when we are surrounded by the sin and evil of this world, we can be overcome with uncertainty. But our Lord knows us, and he chooses not to remove us from the field. He allows us to stand in contrast to the weeds, as we produce the crop we are intended for.

This parable comes to us as a message of encouragement: Trust the field owner; his love will see you through to maturity.

Prayer

Lord, thank you for loving me. In all situations, help me remain confident of being who you created me to be. In your name, Amen.
