这样的信心

“耶稣同门徒并许多人出耶利哥的时候,有一个讨饭的瞎子… 巴底买,坐在路旁。” - 可10:46

巴底买遇见了耶稣。马可福音记载了很多关于耶稣医治病人的故事,但巴底买的故事在许多方面都很特别。

马可不厌其烦告诉我们,他的名字是巴底买,很多其他遇见耶稣的人,都只是被称为“群众中的一个人”或“患血漏的女人。”我们也知道,巴底买得医治后,便跟从了耶稣,而这件事是在耶稣进耶路撒冷、在十字架上受死不久之前发生的。

耶稣告诉巴底买,他的信救了他,巴底买不是相信自己,他乃是相信耶稣医治的能力。当他见到耶稣时,他以一个王室成员的名衔“大卫的子孙耶稣”来称呼耶稣;当巴底买来到耶稣面前时,他便丢下衣服,巴底买愿意扔掉可能是他唯一拥有的东西,为了要寻求耶稣;而当耶稣问他想得到什么时,他只是说:“夫子,我要能看见。”

不论我们是什么人,我们也可以怀着同样单纯的信心来到耶稣面前,我们相信耶稣必定会医治我们,并且单单凭祂的能力来拯救我们,而我们亦可以跟从祂。

祷告

耶稣啊,求你帮助我们倚靠你医治的能力,并且赐我们像巴底买的信心。求你帮助我们相信你、又带领我们放下一切、天天来跟从你。阿们。

马可福音 10:46-52

46到了耶利哥,耶稣同门徒并许多人出耶利哥的时候,有一个讨饭的瞎子,是底买的儿子巴底买,坐在路旁。
47他听见是拿撒勒的耶稣,就喊着说:“大卫的子孙耶稣啊,可怜我吧!”
48有许多人责备他,不许他作声,他却越发大声喊着说:“大卫的子孙哪,可怜我吧!”
49耶稣就站住说:“叫过他来。”他们就叫那瞎子,对他说:“放心,起来,他叫你啦!”
50瞎子就丢下衣服,跳起来,走到耶稣那里。
51耶稣说:“要我为你做什么?”瞎子说:“拉波尼,我要能看见!”
52耶稣说:“你去吧!你的信救了你了。”瞎子立刻看见了,就在路上跟随耶稣。

A Faith Like That

As Jesus and his disciples, together with a large crowd, were leaving the city, a blind man, Bartimaeus . . . was sitting by the roadside begging. - Mark 10:46

英语音频 English Audio

Bartimaeus met Jesus. In the book of Mark, there are many stories about Jesus healing people, and Bartimaeus’s story is remarkable in several ways.

Mark takes the trouble to tell us his name, Bartimaeus, while many other people who met Jesus are just called “a man in the crowd” or “a woman subject to bleeding.” We are also told that Bartimaeus followed Jesus after being healed, and this event happens only a short time before Jesus goes to Jerusalem to die on the cross.

Jesus told Bartimaeus that his faith had healed him. Bartimaeus believed not in himself but in Jesus’ power to heal. When he saw Jesus, he called him “Jesus, Son of David,” a royal title. And when Bartimaeus went to Jesus, he threw his cloak aside. Bartimaeus was willing to toss aside perhaps the only thing he owned in order to seek Jesus. And when Jesus asked what he wanted, he simply said, “Rabbi, I want to see.”

No matter who we are, we can approach Jesus with the same kind of simple faith. We can trust that Jesus will heal us and save us by his power alone, and we can follow him.

Prayer

Jesus, help us trust in your power to heal. Give us faith like Bartimaeus. Help us to believe, and guide us to give up everything every day to follow you. Amen.
