週 四 Day Four
貳 福音的目標乃是要我們像馬利亞一樣,『她作了她所能的,』我們也要把我們所最寶貝的,甚至把我們最貴重、最有價值的屬靈珍寶,澆在主耶穌身上,把我們自己『枉費』在祂身上 ─ 太Matt. 26:6-13; 可Mark 14:3-9:
II. The goal of the gospel is that, like Mary, who did “what she could,” we would pour out upon the Lord Jesus what is most precious to us, even our most costly and valuable spiritual treasure, “wasting” ourselves upon Him:
一 患痲瘋的西門感激主、愛主,便在家中為主和祂的門徒擺設筵席,以享受祂的同在;得救的罪人總會這樣作 ─ 太Matt. 26:6-7。
A Being grateful to the Lord and loving Him, Simon the leper spread a feast in his house for the Lord and His disciples in order to enjoy His presence; a saved sinner would always do this.
二 神的福音使真信徒的價值觀有極大的改變;當別人棄絕主時,我們卻寶愛祂,寶貴祂超凡的價值和無上的寶貝 ─ 可Mark 14:3;太Matt. 26:7; 彼前1 Pet. 2:4, 6-7。
B. The gospel of God causes genuine believers to have a great change in their concept of value; whereas others reject the Lord, we treasure Him and value His surpassing worth and supreme preciousness.
三 馬利亞由主的話得到主受死的啟示,因此抓住機會,把她一切上好的澆在主身上;我們對主要有啟示,纔能用上好的愛愛祂 ─ 太Matt. 26:2, 12; 16:21; 17:22-23; 20:18-19。
C. Mary received the revelation of the Lord’s death through His words, and thus she grasped the opportunity to pour out upon the Lord the best that she had; to love the Lord with our best requires a revelation concerning Him.
