都在神的計劃中

Understanding The Times

「聖靈藉大衛的口，在聖經上預言領人捉拿耶穌的猶大，這話是必須應驗的。」 - 徒 1:16

「The Scripture had to be fulfilled in which the Holy Spirit spoke long ago through David concerning Judas, who served as guide for those who arrested Jesus.」

— Acts 1:16

靈修

猶大竟然出賣了耶穌，我們怎樣解釋他的所為？從許多方面來看，我們只可以說，我們真的不明白，只有神自已才能測透人心。

How do we understand the actions of Judas, who betrayed Jesus? In many ways, our answer needs to be that we simply do not know. God is the only one who sees the human heart.

眾信徒聚集一起禱告時，彼得受感動起來說話，他循著聖經的背景及發展來看猶大的故事；彼得從應許和應驗的角度來看歷史，便發覺一些似乎與神的計劃背道而馳的事，其實仍然是在神最終的旨意中的。

As the believers gather for prayer, Peter is prompted to speak. He places the story of Judas within the context of Scripture. Peter puts history under the arc of promise and fulfillment and even places what seems so contrary to God』s plan as an event that is still within God』s ultimate purposes.

我不知道你如何看猶大的一生，也不知道你如何看你自己的一生。恐怕我們人人都有一些我們希望可以改寫的過去，我們都會因昔日某些錯失而感到遺憾，我們可能仍然被失望的烏雲靇罩著。看到主曾預言那將會三次不認祂的彼得，現在竟然站起來說話，真是一個大諷刺。然而，在神的計劃中，或許正是要找像彼得這樣的人。

I don』t know how you think about not only Judas』s life but also your own life. Each of us has chapters of our lives that we wish were different. We all have regrets for some of the things we have done, and we may still live under clouds of disappointment. We may even find it ironic that Peter, who denied Jesus three times, just as the Lord had predicted, is the one who now stands and speaks. But maybe it has to be Peter.

彼得雖然曾起誓說自己永遠不會不認主，但他到底這樣做了。當我們看到彼得站起來，指出信徒與耶穌一起過的日子原來就是神的計劃時，我們所看到的就是一幅恩典的圖畫。我們可能不明白，我們或許仍然會有很多疑惑，然而我們同樣也能懷著盼望，就是神在我們每個人身上，都有祂的計劃。

Peter is the one who denied his Lord even though he swore that would never happen. We can see a picture of grace here as we watch Peter stand and state that this chapter of the believers』 life together with Jesus was not outside the plan of God. We may not understand it. We may even still question it, but we can also have the hope that God has a plan for each of us.

禱告

萬有之主，我們都是帶著悔意、疑惑，和失望的人，求禰賜下赦免和恩典，又感謝禰為我們的生命提供新的一頁。奉耶穌名祈求，阿們。

Prayer

Lord of all, we are people with regrets, doubts, and disappointments. We pray for your forgiveness and grace. Thank you for providing new chapters of life for us. In Jesus』 name we pray. Amen.
