The Father had promised the Son that one day all the kingdoms of the earth would be under His ruler (Psalm 2:7-9) and that every knee should bow to Him. Now Satan was saying, "Why wait until then? I can give you all the kingdoms of the world right now." But there was a catch in Satan's words, a hidden trap. "You just worship me and you can have it all." (GNB) That would be an easy way, a quick way to win the world without His death on the cross. But our Lord knew all that was involved and replied plainly and clearly, "(The Word of God says) Worship only the Lord your God. Serve Him with absolute single-heartedness." (The Message) Satan was again defeated. The other temptation was similar. Satan suggested a spectacular action which would have given Christ enormous publicity. "Jump off the top of the temple in front of a large crowd. You'll be safe. The angels will catch you." But Jesus had come to touch people's lives and was not looking merely for publicity. Once more Christ replied by quoting Deuteronomy. "Never try to put God to the test. Never act when He has not told you to do so." It could be paraphrased, "Publicity and so called success is not my affair. My responsibility is to remain day by day in God's will." Satan left defeated. But look again at verse 13, "Satan left Him until a more opportune time." He was like a boxer stepping back to see where he could land the next punch. Satan never gave up and even tempted Christ while on the cross. But Christ stayed true to the Word and the Will of God and is now seated at the Father's right hand. What a lesson for us today. A most helpful verse to mark and to learn by heart is 1 Corinthians 10: 13. Turn to it now and read it over and over until its message has laid hold of your heart and mind.

It is one of the greatest things we could ask for, 'Lord, teach us to pray'. It means not only 'Lord teach us how to pray' but also 'Lord, teach us to do it'. There are a great many books which have been written on prayer and it would help us to read them. But unless we put into practice what we already know or learn, it will not do anything for us. In the same way we could read books on gardening or on farming, but unless we get out and work they will not help us at all. What do you mean by 'prayer'? It is talking to God, but it also includes listening to him. It is opening our hearts and our lives to him, opening our circumstances to him. It is also telling him of our love and giving him our thanks for what he has done for us. Prayer means many things but it usually includes thanking God, which is praise, and asking God for something, which is petition. It is also the overflow of our hearts as Hannah said in 1 Samuel 1: 15-16 'I have poured out my soul before the Lord'. Over the next week or so we will look at some of the things the Bible says about prayer. But could we make this our very sincere request today and for each day of our studies in prayer, 'Lord teach me to pray'? Will you do that now?

為何沒有更多人得救？

Bible Reading: Luke 14: 15 – 24

讀經： 路加福音十四章15至24節

At the beginning of this chapter we find Jesus in the home of one of the Pharisees. (They were leaders of the Jewish people.) There had been quite a lot of teaching as well as a miracle (v.4). At the end of the meal one man spoke up and said, 'Well I think it would be wonderful to have the privilege of being with you for ever'.

在本章一開始，我們看見耶穌在一個法利賽人的家中吃飯。(法利賽人是猶太人的宗教領袖。)席間，耶穌給眾人講了一些教訓，又行了一個神蹟(4節)。最後，同席的一個人高聲對耶穌說：「噢，能夠永遠與你在一起，真是好得無比了。」

Jesus replied with another parable which could be summered up like this. Yes it would be wonderful to be with God forever, but the tragedy is that those who are invited to God's table don't always accept the invitation.

這一句話，觸發耶穌講了一個比喻作為回應。耶穌的比喻可以這樣總括說：能夠永遠與神在一起確實是好得無比；可惜，那些獲得邀請去參加神的筵席的人，卻總是用各種藉口去推辭，實在非常可悲。

In the story Jesus told it seems hard to believe that those invited would not come to the feast. What were their excuses?

怎麼有人連神的筵席都拒絕參加？我們實在感到萬分費解。他們究竟有甚麼重要理由，要推辭赴會呢？

I've got something else I want to see (v.18).

I've got something else I want to do (v.19).

I've got something else I want to enjoy (v.20).

我要趕著去看一件珍貴的東西(18節)。

我要趕著去辦一件要事(19節)。

我要首先享受人生(20節)。

Aren't those some of the excuses people use today when they are invited to accept Christ? Human nature hasn't changed very much in 2,000 years, has it?

今天，當我們邀請人去接受基督的時候，豈不經常聽到他們用類似的藉口來推辭？經過了二千多年，人性始終沒有多大分別，你說是嗎？

What did the man giving the feast say? 'I want people to come and enjoy my feast … Go out and get them wherever you can.' And that is what they did.

擺設筵席的主人怎麼說呢？他吩咐他的僕人說：「快出去，到城裡的大街小巷，領人來享受我的筵席」。他的僕人立即出去，積極地邀請人來。

When people refuse to accept Christ, what do we do? Do we give up trying to invite anyone else? Or do we say, 'All right, there are others who will accept' and go after them?

當人拒絕去接受基督時，我們會怎樣做呢？我們是否放棄，不再嘗試邀請其他人呢？抑或，我們會說：「沒關係，我會再去邀請其他人，我相信始終有人會接受的。」然後便再接再勵地去出去邀請人赴會？

Christ wants us to invite anyone, everyone. Who has the privilege of inviting them? You and I do. Are we really doing it? The feast of salvation is waiting for all those who are willing to come. Let's do our part in inviting them.

基督期望我們出去邀請任何人和所有人。誰人有此榮幸，可以代表主人出去邀請人赴席呢？就是你和我了。我們究竟有沒有聽從主人的吩咐，四處向人發出邀請呢？神已擺設了救恩的筵席，等候人前來分享；讓我們加緊努力去邀請所有人去享受這筵席吧！

REMEMBER:

God is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.

牢記：神不願意一人沉淪，祂只願人人悔改得救。

你的計劃是否夠長遠？

Bible Reading: Luke 12: 15 – 31

讀經： 路加福音十二章15至31節

Here's another story Jesus told to a crowd after he had dinner in someone's house. Probably Jesus was outside the house because of the crowds that had gathered. Suddenly a man interrupted him with a strange request. He said, 'Master, make my brother give me what belongs to me'

某天，耶穌在人的家中作客，吃完飯後，可能有見群眾在門外聚集，所以便突意走出來與他們交談。就在這個時候，有一個人突然向耶穌提出一個奇怪的要求：「夫子，請你吩咐我的兄弟將屬於我的家業分給我吧！」

Jesus refused to be drawn into this family quarrel, but pointed out the man's real trouble which was a desire for material things. Then Jesus told this story.

耶穌的回應，一方面拒絕介入他們兄弟的糾紛，另一方面，又直接向群眾指出，這人要處理的真正問題，不是如何分配家產，而是他那顆渴求物慾的心。為了說明這點，耶穌便講了一個故事。

A rich man thought he had everything worked out nicely. He would be very comfortable for years ahead with all that he had. He also saw the need of building bigger barns to hold his crops. The world would have said he was smart and successful, but God said he had forgotten the most important thing of all, preparation for eternity.

有一位財主，以為自己已為未來作好了精心的安排，還計劃蓋一個更大的倉房，來收藏糧食和財物，此後，便可無憂無慮地享福。在世人眼中，他必然是一個精明而有遠見的成功人仕；可是在神的眼中，他卻忽略了一件最要的事情──為他的永生作好準備。

Planning ahead is a wonderful idea, if we plan far enough ahead. If all we think of is this world and nothing of the next, we will suddenly find ourselves face to face with the next world before we are ready for it.

為未來計劃，是正確和值得推許的，但問題卻在於我們的計劃是否夠長遠。我們若然只想到今生，而從來不思想來世，那麼，我們可能會在毫無準備之下，赫然發現自己快要面對來世的問題。

There is a question that has only one answer. Here is the question, 'How shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation?' – the salvation Jesus Christ offers? The answer is 'there is not escape'. We can only come to God through Jesus Christ.

來生的問題，只有一個答案；可是，我們若一直忽略自己其實急需救恩，這個問題將永無出路。出路只有一條：藉著相信耶穌基督，得著神的救恩，如此，我們便獲得保證，可得享永生。

Christ went on to say that the things of this world do have their place. God will see to it that we who trust in him have all we need when we need it.

耶穌接著還勸勉眾人，我們在生活上所需用的一切，神是知道的；我們只需信靠神的供應，神必會把我們所需用的賜給我們。

Isn't he a wonderful God? He is willing to look after us now in this world and give us a place in the next world too. He has planned all this for us. Are you part of his plan or are you still making your own plans. If so are you planning far enough ahead?

神不單看顧我們今生的生活，而且還讓我們得享永生，神對我們實在是無微不至極了！神已經為我們準備了一切，你有沒有留意呢？抑或只懂得努力為自己籌算準備？此刻，或許是時候檢視你的計劃是否真的夠長遠了！

一個難忘的故事

Bible Reading: BIBLE READING: Luke 10: 25 – 37

讀經： 路加福音十章25至37節

Of all the parables Jesus told, this one and the story we call the Prodigal Son must be the most well-known. Has this story been the means of bringing about more good deeds than any other? It is a story you can't forget. But don't leave it on the Jericho road. Put it on the road that runs by your house and see what it has to say to you today.

在耶穌講過的芸芸比喻中，相信我們今天選讀的這個比喻，以及浪子的比喻，是最廣為人知的了。試問還有哪一個故事，比這個撒馬利亞人的比喻，更能激發人去行善呢？這是一個叫人難忘的故事。可是，我們聽過之後，不要把它留在耶利哥的路上，反之，要在每天出門上學或上班的時候，在路上反思它對我們有甚麼寶貴的提醒。

There are four men mentioned in this story plus the innkeeper. The first is the wounded man. He is nameless but the point of the story is this: what do the other three men do with him?

這個故事共有四個關鍵人物和一位旅店的主人。最先出場的是那個受傷的人；我們完全不知道他的身分，不過，故事的重點是要指出其他三個人對這位傷者的反應。

The second man is the priest, the indifferent man. He thought only of himself, and the possible danger and went on his way.

第二個出場的人是個祭司，他看見那名傷者之後，顯得漠不關心，一心只記掛著自己的工作，和怕惹禍上身，於是便急步而過。

The third is the interested man. He wanted to know what was wrong with the wounded person, but he wasn't really interested enough to help him.

第三個出場的人，對那名傷者顯得有點兒好奇，他緩緩地在他身邊經過，想知道他究竟如何，可是，他的好奇心卻不足以推動他去伸出援手。

The fourth is the compassionate man. Again we don't know his name, but what a wonderful moment it was when he stopped to help. It was like that moment when Jesus came to you and me. The Samaritan was prepared to take every responsibility for the wounded man. Isn't that just like Jesus?

第四個出場的人，是一個充滿同情心的撒馬利亞人。我們同樣不知道他的身分，然而，他竟願意停下腳步去救援那名傷者，卻實在令人感動。那就像主耶穌來到你和我的身邊，伸手拯救我們一樣。那個撒馬利亞人甚至願意負責一切費用，只求能救回那名傷者。耶穌豈不是一樣？祂為了拯救我們，甘願不惜代價地為我們犧牲！

The needs of the wounded man interrupted the journey and the plans of the Samaritan, but he didn't seem to mind. It was because he was prepared to forget himself, and his plans, that the world has remembered him.

撒馬利亞人為了幫助那名傷者，不惜延誤行程和改變計劃，但他卻似乎沒有半點介懷。正是他這種忘我的精神，使他成為一位萬世稱頌的人物。

Are you too busy to help someone nearby who needs help? Do interruptions to your plans upset you? It could be that those interruptions have been planned by God and they are not really interruptions, but opportunities.

當你身邊的人正急需援助時，你是否只記掛著自己的工作而不願意伸出援手？你會否因為計劃受阻而大發牢騷？當知道，你的計劃受阻，可能是出於神的心意，而那些妨礙你的東西，可能是機會而非攔阻。

A QUESTION:

What are you going to do if you are interrupted by someone in need today?

反思：

萬一今天有人急需你的幫忙，而逼使你的計劃受阻，你會怎樣做呢？

誰是真正的罪人？

Bible Reading: Luke 7: 36 – 50

讀經： 路加福音七章36至50節

How many parables did Jesus tell? Possibly about thirty-nine. Many of the best known are found in the gospel of Luke and a number of these are not in the other gospels. Often the stories in Luke were told around a dinner table.

耶穌總共說過多少個比喻？大約有三十九個。路加福音記載了許多廣為人知的比喻，且是其他福音書所找不到的。路加福音的比喻還有一個特色，就是經常以吃飯的時候作為故事的背景。

These parables are so true to life that it would not be difficult to transfer them to this year and to our place of living. We can almost see them being acted out in front of us.

耶穌所講的比喻往往很貼近現實，故此，不難將它們轉移到現今的處境，而其真實的程度，就仿如發生在我們眼前一樣。

In the story we have just read there are three people. Two are in debt to the third. One owes a little, the other owes a lot. But both had nothing with which to pay their debts.

耶穌向西門所講的比喻包含了三個人物：一個債主和兩個欠債的人，其中一個欠債較多，一個欠得較少，但兩人都同樣是無力償還債項。

Can you imagine the scene as these two men come confessing that they cannot pay a penny and their tremendous joy when the man says, 'It's quite all right, I will forgive both of you'? What a surprising end to the story!

試想想，當兩人來到債主面前，承認自己無力還債，卻竟然聽到債主對他們說：「既然如此，我就免了你們的債吧！」他們兩人將會是何等的喜出望外！故事的結局實在是太出人意表！

But it is not really the end. There is the application. Christ asked this question: 'Which man would love him the most?' His host, Simon, said, 'The one who owed the most'. Then Jesus went on, 'Do you see this woman Simon? She loves me because she knows the joy of sins forgiven. You don't really know that joy, Simon, because you don't realise your need. You are a sinner just like she is, but she has been forgiven. Why don't you ask for forgiveness too?'

然而，比喻還有下文，就是如何將它應用在生活之中。基督問作主人的西門說：「你想，這兩個欠債的人，哪一個會更愛那名債主呢？」西門回答說：「當然是欠他更多的那個人。」耶穌接著說：「西門，你看見這女人麼？她因為得著了赦罪的喜樂，所以她內心充滿了對我的愛；反之，你卻並未真正體會這喜樂，因為你還未察覺自己有罪，不覺得自己需要尋求赦免。你其實像她一樣都是罪人，但她已獲得赦罪，而你呢？你為何不尋求赦免呢？」

We are not told what happened to Simon. He would have to overcome a lot of pride to seek the Saviour's forgiveness. But if he asked for it, he would have been immediately forgiven.

我們不知道西門聽完這番說話之後，會有何反應；他可能要經過一段時間，才能克服自大的心理，尋求救主的赦免。然而，只要祂向主祈求，他就必定獲得主的赦免。

Have you asked for the forgiveness of your sins? If not, why not ask Christ to forgive you today?

你已尋求救主的赦免了嗎？若然還沒有，何不立即祈求呢？只要你求，就必獲得赦罪的喜樂。

撒種人、種子和土壤

Bible Reading: Luke 8: 4 – 15
讀經： 路加福音八章4至15節

This is the first full parable Jesus told. He had used all kinds of illustrations before this. But when the people around him began to openly reject him, he used parables or stories which could only be understood by those whose eyes and ears were open to what he was saying. This parable of the sower is given to us by Matthew, Mark and Luke.

這是耶穌所講的第一個比喻。在這之前，耶穌喜歡採用各種例子向人講解道理，可是，當祂身邊的人開始公開反對祂之後，祂便改用比喻和故事，因為只有那些願意張開眼睛和耳朵的人，才能明白祂的話中含意。我們在馬太福音、馬可福音和路加福音都可找到這個撒種的比喻。

The story of the sower is a wonderful picture of missionary work. In fact it covers all kinds of evangelism wherever the gospel is given out. The harvest does not always depend on the sower nor on the seed, but on the nature and response of the soil on which it falls.

這個撒種的比喻正是宣教工作的最佳寫照。事實上，它全面地勾劃了福音工作者所面對的各種禾場。最後能否獲得豐收，責任未必在於撒種的人或是種子本身，而是在於種子落在的泥土，究竟是怎樣的泥土，以及周邊各種因素所造成的影響。

The first seed fell on earth which could have been different. (Was it the same kind of soil as elsewhere in the field?) Instead of opening its heart to the seed, the soil refused to allow it to enter. The soil was hard and Christ said the seed lay on top. In the spiritual sense, Satan was able to take away the seed before it could possibly take root.

撒種的人所撒的第一把種子，若不是落在路邊，而是落在土壤裡，結果便會完全不同。(除非整塊田的土壤都是一樣。)由於路邊的泥土不是軟土，種子不能埋入土裡生長，只能留在上面，被人踐踏，或被飛鳥吃盡。從屬靈的含意來說，人若沒有把神的道理藏在心裡，讓它生根成長，撒但就會隨時來把它奪去。

In the same way Christ carefully explained each type of soil. Don't you find encouragement as a Christian in this story? The seed was sown in four places but only one place really gave the harvest that was looked for. Even in the good soil the harvest varied (see Mark 4:8).

基督向門徒逐一解說種子落在每種土壤裡的結果；我們聽完這個比喻後，會否稍感心安，不再對傳福音的成果感到耿耿於懷？撒種的人把種子撒到四處，可是，只有一處才能如願地獲得真正的豐收。而且，甚至是落在好土裡的種子，結實的數目也有差異(參看可四8)。

Your harvest will vary and it will not always be your fault. There has to be a response on the part of the hearers too. But, thank God, if we are faithful in sowing the seed, God will see to it that there will be an eternal harvest.

當我們出去傳福音的時候，情況也是一樣，能否結果，責任未必在於我們；聽道的人如何回應，也是其中一個關鍵。然而，感謝神，只要我們每位信徒都盡忠地撒種，神就會確保有永恆的大豐收。

A PRAYER:

Lord, help me to be faithful in sowing the good seed today.

禱告：

主啊，求你幫助我，使我每天都能勤勞地撒種。
