最好的教导

“耶稣说:‘我的教训不是我自己的,乃是那差我来者的。’” - 约 7:16

几年前,我尝试了一种“原始人饮食法”。它的理念是你按着农业发展前时代洞穴人的饮食方式吃东西,主要吃肉类和植物,尽量避免碳水化合物。这种(以及类似的)饮食方法得到了许多名人、博主和社会媒体名人的认可,他们发现这对减肥或提高运动成绩很有效。但当我尝试这种饮食时,我主要的感受是烦躁和懒散。对其他人有效的方法不一定适合我,我很快就放弃了。那是很有意思的体验,但我发现那并非适合我的生活方式。

有时候,我们很容易把耶稣的声音仅仅当作世界的另一种声音,给我们的饮食、财务和效率提供一些选项和建议。但是在约翰福音第7章,神提醒我们,耶稣实际上是代表神说话,因为祂的教导是从神而来的。

耶稣的教导不是我们可以挑选取舍的。凡祂所吩咐的,都是关乎你我受造应该活出的样式。如果我们想要体验生命的意义,我们就要聆听耶稣的话,按着祂的话语去行。

祷告

父啊,帮助我信靠耶稣,聆听祂从你而来真理的话语。赐给我信靠顺服的勇气,跟随祂的带领。阿们。

约翰福音 7:14-24

14到了节期,耶稣上殿里去教训人。
15犹太人就稀奇说:“这个人没有学过,怎么明白书呢?”
16耶稣说:“我的教训不是我自己的,乃是那差我来者的。
17人若立志遵着他的旨意行,就必晓得这教训或是出于神,或是我凭着自己说的。
18人凭着自己说,是求自己的荣耀;唯有求那差他来者的荣耀,这人是真的,在他心里没有不义。
19“摩西岂不是传律法给你们吗?你们却没有一个人守律法!为什么想要杀我呢?”
20众人回答说:“你是被鬼附着了!谁想要杀你?”
21耶稣说:“我做了一件事,你们都以为稀奇。
22摩西传割礼给你们(其实不是从摩西起的,乃是从祖先起的),因此你们也在安息日给人行割礼。
23人若在安息日受割礼,免得违背摩西的律法,我在安息日叫一个人全然好了,你们就向我生气吗?
24不可按外貌断定是非,总要按公平断定是非。”

The Best Way

"Jesus answered, 'My teaching is not my own. It comes from the one who sent me.'" - John 7:16

英语音频 English Audio

Several years ago I experimented with something called the Paleo diet. The idea is that you eat the way cavepeople supposedly ate before agriculture was developed, focusing on meat and plants while avoiding carbs as much as possible.

This diet (and others like it) is endorsed by a number of celebrities, bloggers, and social media influencers who have found success losing weight or improving their athletic performance. But when I tried the diet, I mainly felt crabby and sluggish. What worked for others didn't really work for me, and I quickly abandoned it. It was an interesting experiment, but I found that it wasn't the right fit for my lifestyle.

Sometimes we are tempted to treat Jesus' voice like just another voice in the world giving advice about options for our diet, finances, or productivity. But in this passage in John 7, we are reminded that Jesus actually speaks for God because his teaching is from God.

Jesus' instructions are not something we can pick and choose from. Every instruction he gave is in line with the way you and I were created to live. If we want to experience life as it was meant to be lived, we will find it by listening to Jesus and doing what he asks us to do.

Prayer

Father, help me to trust Jesus as he speaks the truth that comes from you. Give me the courage to trust and obey, wherever he leads. Amen.
