这到底是谁?

“‘这到底是谁?连风和海也听从他了。’” - 可 4:41

当门徒正经历大风暴的威胁时,耶稣却枕着枕头呼呼大睡。那时门徒才刚刚开始认识耶稣,他们需要衪帮助,或许他们认为衪可以帮忙拿水桶来舀水,他们或许并没有期望衪能平静那风浪。

耶稣以权能的命令胜过致人于死地的风浪,令暴风雨“大大地平静了。”门徒感到如释重负,但也因此非常震惊,以致他们很想知道耶稣到底是谁。

“这到底是谁?”这个极其重要的问题,也是我们要面对的问题。我们或许期待耶稣做某事或成为某种人,然而,我们若聆听耶稣所说和察看耶稣所做来认识衪,岂不更好吗?

对我们来说,大海和风浪是不受我们控制的力量,但对耶稣来说却并非如此。就像神拯救挪亚和他的家人那样(创世记6-9),神的手也拯救了门徒,在致命的海浪中免于灾难。

你有没有留意到,生命中有多少事情是不受我们控制的呢?我们岂不也渴望耶稣来帮助我们面对这些事情吗?衪实在有能力全然掌管它们,我们或许因此惧怕,也可能因此感到安心。

我们越认识耶稣,衪控制万有的权能便越能令我们安心,因为我们也知道衪爱我们。

祷告

亲爱的神,我渐渐认识到耶稣在世上的权能是何等奇妙。惟愿我能越来越认识耶稣掌管万有的权能,并衪有能力也愿意拯救我,阿们。

马可福音 4:35-41

35当那天晚上,耶稣对门徒说:“我们渡到那边去吧。”
36门徒离开众人,耶稣仍在船上,他们就把他一同带去;也有别的船和他同行。
37忽然起了暴风,波浪打入船内,甚至船要满了水。
38耶稣在船尾上枕着枕头睡觉。门徒叫醒了他,说:“夫子!我们丧命,你不顾吗?”
39耶稣醒了,斥责风,向海说:“住了吧!静了吧!”风就止住,大大地平静了。
40耶稣对他们说:“为什么胆怯?你们还没有信心吗?”
41他们就大大地惧怕,彼此说:“这到底是谁?连风和海也听从他了!”

Who Is This?

“Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!” - Mark 4:41

英语音频 English Audio

While the chaos of a storm threatened the disciples, Jesus slept soundly on a cushion. The disciples were just starting to get to know Jesus, and they wanted him to help. They may have thought he could help with a bucket, but they did not expect him to quiet the overwhelming wind and waves.

With a strong command Jesus overcame the death-threatening storm, rendering the tempest “completely calm.” This certainly relieved the disciples, but it also stunned them into trying to figure out who Jesus was.

Their vital question, “Who is this?” is also ours. We may have expectations for what we’d like Jesus to do and to be, but isn’t it better that we listen to what Jesus says and watch what he does in order to learn about him?

The sea and the wind are uncontrollable forces for us, but not for Jesus. And like Noah and his family (Genesis 6-9), the disciples survive the deadly water by the hand of God.

Do we realize how many ­aspects of life are beyond our control? Wouldn’t we like Jesus to help us deal with them? He is actually in complete control over them, and that could ­either scare us or comfort us.

The more we get to know Jesus, the more his authority over all things should bring us comfort, because we also know that he loves us.

Prayer

Dear God, I am learning just how amazing Jesus’ authority in this world is. May I learn more and more about Jesus’ authority over all things, and how he can and does save me. Amen.
