满有权柄的道和作为
当神的仇敌,也就是我们的仇敌——魔鬼引诱亚当和夏娃,使人类陷入了罪中(创 3章),我们所有的关系都被破坏了——包括我们与神的关系、与彼此的关系、与自己的关系以及与受造界的关系。引诱和犯罪为魔鬼和它的仆役——污鬼——攻击和影响我们的生命敞开了道路,有时它们甚至会占据人们的心思意念和身体。
神的儿子耶稣来到世上,重建被破坏的事物,修复受造之物的美好,医治了众多人的身体和心灵。耶稣作为神的道,满有权柄而来,祂以权能将污鬼从它们所占有的人身上赶出去。
迦百农的众人在那个安息日听到了神的话语,见证了神的大能。他们惊奇地看到神的爱在耶稣的身上彰显出来。耶稣在神伟大的救赎计划中施行神迹,表明祂的大能远远超过任何邪恶的势力。
人们听到耶稣传讲神的话语,看到祂奇妙的医治。他们见证了“神与我们同在”,就是“以马内利”,于是把关于耶稣的好消息传遍了各地。
神啊,感谢你在耶稣基督的身上显明你的爱。愿我们在你赐给我们的话语中寻求认识祂,愿我们在全地述说你的大能和慈爱。阿们。
马可福音 1:21-28
21到了迦百农,耶稣就在安息日进了会堂教训人。
22众人很稀奇他的教训,因为他教训他们正像有权柄的人,不像文士。
23在会堂里有一个人被污鬼附着,他喊叫说:
24“拿撒勒人耶稣,我们与你有什么相干?你来灭我们吗?我知道你是谁,乃是神的圣者!”
25耶稣责备他说:“不要作声!从这人身上出来吧!”
26污鬼叫那人抽了一阵风,大声喊叫,就出来了。
27众人都惊讶,以致彼此对问说:“这是什么事?是个新道理啊!他用权柄吩咐污鬼,连污鬼也听从了他。”
28耶稣的名声就传遍了加利利的四方。
Word And Deed
"The people were all so amazed that they asked each other, 'What is this? A new teaching—and with authority! He even gives orders to impure spirits and they obey him.'" - Mark 1:27
When God's enemy and ours, the devil, tempted Adam and Eve and humanity fell into sin (Genesis 3), all of our relationships were broken—with God, with each other, with ourselves, and with creation. Temptation and sin opened the way for the devil and his followers—impure spirits—to attack and influence our lives, sometimes even taking possession of people's hearts, minds, and bodies.
God's Son, Jesus, came into the world to rebuild what was broken and to restore the goodness of creation, healing many people's bodies and minds. Jesus came as God's authoritative Word, and with power he drove impure spirits out of the people they had possessed.
The crowd in Capernaum heard the Word of God and saw the power of God that Sabbath day. They were amazed to see God's love presented to them in the person of Jesus. And as he worked wonders in God's great plan of salvation, Jesus showed that his power was far greater than any demonic presence.
The people heard Jesus speak God's Word, and they saw his amazing acts of restoration. They witnessed "God with us," Immanuel, and they spread the news about him everywhere.
Lord, thank you for showing your love in the person of Jesus Christ. May we seek him in the written Word you have given us, and may we tell of your power and love everywhere. Amen.
