在屋顶唱着你的歌

马可福音二1－12

耶稣赦免瘫子的罪

有一天耶稣周游各地传道后又回到迦百农。众人听说他在屋子里（屋子可能是耶稣自己的住宅），就有许多人来聚集，甚至连门前都容纳不下了。于是，耶稣向他们讲道。有几个人带了一个瘫子来到耶稣那里，那瘫子由四个人抬着。由于人多，他们无法带他到耶稣那里，于是把耶稣头上那处的屋顶拆掉。既拆通了，他们就把瘫子连同褥子一起缒下去。耶稣看见他们的信心，就对瘫子说：『孩子，你的罪赦免了。』

当时有几个文士坐在那里，心里议论说：『这个人为什么说这样的话呢？他说亵渎的话了。除了神自己之外，谁能赦罪呢？』

耶稣心里立刻知道他们在想什么，就对他们说：『对于这些事，你们为什么这样想呢？对瘫子说“你的罪赦免了”容易，还是说“起来，拿起你的褥子行走吧”容易呢？但要让你们知道人子在地上有赦罪的权柄……』

耶稣就对瘫子说：『我对你说，起来，拿起你的褥子，回家去吧！』

那人就起来，立刻拿起褥子，当着大家的面走出去了。大家都很诧异，颂赞神，说：『这样的事，我们从来没有见过啊！』

真实恒久的满足来自罪得赦免

瘫子的朋友或家人把瘫子带到耶稣的跟前是很不容易的。他们可能是长途跋涉而来，来到耶稣的门前又挤不进去。然而，他们不怕麻烦，把心一横，就爬上了屋顶，拆开瓦片，把瘫子连人带褥子缒下到屋里头。他们的举动显示他们帮朋友的坚决以及对耶稣的信心。他们渴望也相信耶稣能够医治瘫子。

耶稣看见他们的信心以及瘫子的苦状就深受感动，但很奇怪的，耶稣没有对瘫子说：『起来，你得医治了。』他说的是：『你的罪得赦免了。』

文士对耶稣赦罪的话心中议论。他们控诉耶稣说了亵渎神的话，因为只有神才能够赦免人的罪。他们不知道，耶稣真的是神来到百姓中间。罪人犯罪是得罪了神，也就是得罪了耶稣，因此耶稣当然可以赦免罪。然而，神赦免罪也是透过他自己—耶稣牺牲自己的性命，死在十字架上，代替人受惩罚。耶稣赦罪其实不是轻描淡写而已，乃是付出了最昂贵的代价。

耶稣眼睁睁看着那些人把他屋子的屋顶都拆了，他为何不生气？

耶稣来到世上的目的就是要赦免人的罪，把人从罪中救赎出来。他透过死在十字架上，容许自己的身体被拆毁，血液流干，甚至灵魂堕入阴间，使到罪人免得沉沦，获得救赎得生命。他又怎么会为了区区的屋顶被拆而生气呢？

耶稣对瘫子宣告，“你的罪得赦免了”因为他知道，虽然瘫子自己不知道，生命中最主要的问题不是他所受的苦，而是他的罪。圣经说到罪，并非只牵涉做了错事，更重要的是指到“不承认神是我生命的主”，也就是借着与神断绝关系来反抗他。

瘫子得医治当然会感到快乐，但是不久后幸福感会消失。他还会面对其他方面的需要不得满足，譬如生病和死亡。人总是感到无法满足的根源是来自内心深处，需要耶稣的赦罪，以及与神建立关系。人的问题是把最深的渴求扭曲了，把它建立在耶稣以外的某件事物。他以为不满足是因为还没有获得这些外在事物。

这么想的人因着表现不达标，就受到控诉和定罪，而当真的达到目标了，却感到更多的空虚。耶稣说，如果你接受我做生命的主，你的罪得赦免，你会得到真实的满足。若你在某方面不达标，让我失望，我是会原谅你。

其实人的问题不在于渴求本身，就像瘫子想要走路、艺人要成名，都是没有错。问题是我们错在以为只要渴求获得实现，生命就得满足和完美。这是被魔鬼欺骗了。我们需要的不只是能帮助我们达成渴望的人。我们需要有人来帮助我们更深入刺透我们的自我中心，撕裂那奴役我们的罪。这罪将我们美好的渴求扭曲了，叫我们脱离神去自立为神。

简而言之，我们需要罪得赦免，与神建立关系。我们不只是需要行神迹者或神灯精灵。我们需要一位救主来医治我们内心的缺憾，填补我们灵魂的空虚，给予我们真正的满足和安息。

耶稣有先知性能力知道文士心中的不满和控诉。他不单止宣告瘫子的罪得赦免，还吩咐他说：『孩子，起来，拿起你的褥子，回家去吧！』那人就起来，立刻拿着褥子，当众人面前出去了（11—12节）

透过医治瘫子，耶稣显示本身不仅没有亵渎神，反倒真的有赦罪的权柄。文士不能赦免罪，也不能叫瘫子行走。耶稣既能赦免罪，也能叫瘫子行走。褥子和瘫子相随多年，见证他的无助人生，现在瘫子有力量站起来，拿起褥子行走，褥子反而见证一个丰盛生命的开始。这种转化人生的力量，来自耶稣赦免人的罪，以及叫人在软弱上得刚强！

不要怕冒险和麻烦，一定要把瘫子带到耶稣跟前

瘫子可能躺卧在病床，不知度过了多少个秋与冬，还可能得医治吗？人们说身体瘫痪是因为犯罪的缘故，罪有应得。如果是那样，又怎能够蒙神医治呢？现在，瘫子的朋友或家人不辞劳苦将瘫子扛到屋前，却发现人潮太拥挤，见不着耶稣，这岂不是命中注定遭殃？那么多拦阻，不如放弃吧？

没有！到了这地步，他们也没有放弃。他们拥有小孩子的单纯，胆敢尝试，创新和坚持下去。他们要想办法超越困难，漠视人群的阻挡。他们知道，一次的失败，不代表永远失败！拆开人家的屋顶，把瘫子从屋顶缒下屋内，当然是很冒失的行动，会冒犯到耶稣和群众。这样做是否会弄巧反拙？

事实证明，『不怕麻烦，宁愿多走一里路，胆敢做新尝试，不怕冒险』乃是蒙神喜悦的信心的表现，而最终获得耶稣出手施行医治，而且罪得赦免，获得新生命。这是双喜临门！

瘫子的朋友也是真够朋友。他们爱惜这位瘫子，很渴望他能够得医治，起身行走。他们看见瘫子的需要就不辞劳苦来帮助他。他们对耶稣的信心也从行动上表明。他们的行动改变了整个破碎和无望的境况。

耶稣也是我们最好的朋友。他为了拯救罪人，离开天上的家，来到地上寻找失丧的人。在十字架上，他舍身流血救赎罪人。耶稣死了三天后复活，重建一个崭新和荣耀的身体，但凡归向他的人罪得赦免，生命得更新和医治，来生能够通往天上永恒的家。耶稣说，他就是这条通往天父的道路。

今天我们求神加添信心给我们。信心不是个人的事，是可以影响到周遭环境。让我们以行动来操练我们的信心。我们的信心表现将会带给教会复兴、事业和家庭蒙福，以及社区有平安。

我们来把自我封闭的冷漠和防备拆开，容许有需要的人进来，包括新来的朋友或慕道友。我们来做他们真正的朋友。求神给我们怜悯的心，看见他们的需要就立刻行动去帮助他们，使他们能够起来行走，使他们成为主的门徒。

罪人得赦免，瘸腿的得医治只等待我们的下一步行动。真正朋友是不怕麻烦，不怕冒险，勇敢地踏步出去的。我们靠着那加添我们力量的，一定可以得胜。主耶稣看见我们的行动一定很喜悦，就会应允我们的寻求。

我们向神求智慧怎么去做，也求神给我们异像和提示，帮助我们很有创意去克服困难。我们不要有信心没有行动，不要只是说，我会为你祷告。我们来慷慨帮助其他弟兄姐妹；热心传福音，带人到来教会；我们加入服事和宣教；参加查经班等……。

今天你正在爬上谁家的『屋顶』呢？你在拆开什么『拦阻』？你正在缒下哪个『瘫子』来到耶稣的跟前？

Taste and See the Messianic Wine

The Wedding at Cana: Water Turned to Wine

On the third day, a wedding was to be held at Cana, a rural area near Nazareth. Weddings were usually held at the bridegroom’s house for about a week. People would dance, drink, and enjoy sumptuous meals. Mary, the mother of Jesus, attended the wedding and so did Jesus and his disciples.

During the banquet, the wine for the guests had finished. This disappointment was very embarrassing for the host. Well, in life, sometimes we do miscalculate. What should we do?

Jesus’ mother told him, “They have no more wine.” She was gesturing to Jesus to solve the problem.

Jesus replied, “Woman, what does this have to do with me? My hour has not yet come.”

Jesus may sound somewhat disrespectful in his reply, but his mother was not displeased. She nevertheless, instructed the servants, “Do whatever he tells you!” Although Mary did not really understand the situation, she still trusted Jesus and submitted to him. This confirms the sovereignty and transcendence of the Messiah.

Now we understand why Jesus answered in such a way, from a theological point of view.

The Gospel according to John opens in this way, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. All things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made.”

Before anything existed, the Word, Christ Jesus was. From a human perspective, He was the son of Mary but, actually, He was the Son of God who became flesh to dwell among humanity.

The eternal Word, God the Son, has an intimate relationship with God the Father. The Father is the one who decides the hour for Jesus His Son. The hour is the timing of His ministry on earth, especially with regards to His death and glorious resurrection. This hour was to be determined by the Father.

Compared to the intimate relationship between God the Son with God the Father, Jesus’ earthly mother, Mary was an outsider who had no right to intervene. Jesus was about to enter into public ministry. Thus, his status as the Son of Mary must fade because His true identity was the Son of God, the Lord of all humanity.

In Israel’s tradition, the “third day” refers to the manifestation of the glory of God when the Law was promulgated at Mount Sinai (Exod 19:16). Jesus was glorified in resurrection on the “third day” after His death. Will Jesus display His glory on the “third day” of this wedding at Cana? The answer is “Yes”!

Jesus then commanded the servants to fill up six stone jars to the brim with water. These jars were used for the Jewish rites of purification. So the servants filled up the jars with water. Then, Jesus commanded the servants to serve the water in the jars to the guests. And the servants did so. The servants were likewise in complete obedience to Jesus.

When the master of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and did not know where it came from. He called the bridegroom and said to him, “Everyone serves the good wine first, and when people have drunk freely, then the poor wine. But you have kept the good wine until now.”

Master of the feast was essentially a master of ceremonies. It was his job to call people to celebrate and to make sure the conditions for that celebration were all in place. Bottom line: It was his job to make the party great. And when Jesus turns water into wine and saves the day; he is saying, as it were, I am the true master of the feast. I am Lord of the Feast. Jesus came to bring festival joy, to rescue lives.

The miracle of turning water into wine at Cana was Jesus’ first miracle which displayed His glory. His disciples came to believe in Him (v. 11).

The Christology of Water Turned to Wine at Cana Wedding Feast

The miracle of turning water into wine at Cana was not Jesus’ inaugural speech but his inaugural act. As Jesus’ ministry unfolds, we see that the hour that Jesus referred to was ultimately that of His death on the cross and His glorious resurrection.

In Judaism, marriage symbolizes God’s close relationship with Israel. In the New Testament, marriage symbolizes the relationship between Jesus and the Church. Jesus is the bridegroom and the Church is His bride.

Besides, the Old Testament frequently uses a sumptuous feast to point to the coming of the Messianic era where God rules.

Isaiah 25:6-8 say, ““On this mountain the LORD Almighty will prepare a feast of rich food for all peoples, a banquet of aged wine—the best of meats and the finest of wines. On this mountain he will destroy the shroud that enfolds all peoples, the sheet that covers all nations; he will swallow up death forever. The Sovereign LORD will wipe away the tears from all faces; he will remove the disgrace of this people from all the earth. The LORD has spoken.”

To John, the miracle of turning water into wine at the wedding at Cana was a sign. This sign is to point to Jesus’ identity and ministry. He is the promised Messiah of the Old Testament. Jesus not only turned water into inexhaustible wine, it was also the best wine which was kept to the end.

This shows us that Jesus was not merely a prophet or a king like those in the Old Testament. He was not merely the kind of Messiah that people generally expected. He was indeed the Son of God who came from heaven – the Savior of the world! He is the “latter wine”, the inexhaustible best wine to satisfy the whole world.

Jesus died on the cross to bear the penalty for our sin for us, in our place. Whoever believes in Him shall have eternal life. This salvation of Jesus is just a feast. He is calling us to “taste and see” that is good.

Feast is a very real thing and wine is all the more a real thing! When we believe in and rest in Jesus’ salvation for us, it becomes real to our hearts. Jesus’ love is like honey, or like wine. Rather than only believing that he loves us, we can and we ought to sense the reality, the beauty, and the power of his love.

If you are filled with shame and guilt, you can come to Jesus and sense, on the palate of the heart, the sweetness of his mercy. Then you will know you are accepted. If you are filled with worry and anxiety, you can come to Jesus and you will see, with eyes of the heart, his dazzling majesty. You will be united with Jesus Christ here on the earth just like the intimacy of marriage.

Trust and Obey the Lord Leads to Transformed and Blessed Lives

In Jewish thought, the number seven signifies perfection. Six stone water jars signify imperfection. Moreover, the stone water jars were the most ordinary of objects – for the cleansing of hands and feet. This symbolizes that the Jewish law-keeping faith was impotent to patch up defects or bring about the transformation of life.

When Jesus’ mother and the servants obey the command of Christ, who is the Eternal Word, the water in the jars was transformed into the best of wine.

The wine supplied by Jesus is an allusion to the cup of the Lord’s Table, which symbolizes His sacrifice of His own life, His redemption of sinners through His precious blood, so that human life may be made complete and abundant.

Jesus came to surpass and transform the impotency of Jewish rituals. He came to accomplish in reality what the ceremonial and sacrificial laws of the old Testament pointed to. Those who believe in Him and obey His commandment may have new life.

Human beings are limited and unable to fully grasp the potential of life. But we have Jesus. He is truly the master of feast of our lives, who is able to transform imperfections, shortcomings, and crises into perfection abundance and joy.

We are unable to ensure that our lives are lived wonderfully and to the full. We often experience difficulties due to our own miscalculations. We also often hurt others due to our own weak human nature.

We also know that our overcoming of obstacles in life to move on to the next level does not come from our ability to make perfect calculations or deep resources. Yes, we do our part. But we only overcome and succeed in many things by learning how to grasp the grace of God through trusting and obeying Him.

Just like Mary and the servants, let us obey the words of Jesus even though we may not comprehend what is going on. Jesus is our timely help and, today, He is still performing miracles of transformation. Jesus wants to turn the useless “water” in our lives into good use.

Come, taste the wine of the Messiah, Jesus Christ! How to do it?

We must draw near to the Lord every day, pray to the Lord, listen to His word, obey His leading, and live according to His will.

We should pray now, “Lord Jesus, please come into our lives! We pray that you will perform the miracle of transformation in our lives so that negativity may be transformed into positivity and so that deficiencies and weaknesses may be transformed into abundance and strength. Please turn the useless aspects of our lives into blessing.”

Desire the Lord with a Grateful Heart in Everything and Grow in Faith

The first miracle that Jesus performed at Cana reveals to us His identity and power. His disciples respond with faith. This is an example for everyone who follows Jesus. Conversely, although the servants saw the miracle that Jesus performed, they did not have the right response to come to the Lord. The glory of Jesus passed by them and they just walked past Him.

This is such a pity, yet this is something that often happens to us. The truth is, unless we continually grow in faith, spectacular experience cannot guarantee a long term God-fearing, God-abiding relationship. A believer that is fed with a diet of signs and wonders will sooner or later have days of withering.

Although the grace of God constantly surrounds us and His love is revealed to us unceasingly, we must not only see the benefits of the gifts and neglect the Giver. Let’s give more and more of ourselves to the Lord who gives us grace. How?

Let’s desire after Him and pursue to know Him even more. We should serve God diligently and offer our lives as living sacrifices to God. Only by then we may, by His grace, grow in faith, move from strength to strength.

Not only did the master of feast and the guests of the wedding not know that Jesus turned water into wine, they even complained that the bridegroom only brought out the best wine at the very end. Likewise, we often experience God’s blessing without understanding or awareness. We complain a lot and fail to appreciate good things around us.

Or, like the master of feast, we may expect that our life and God’s work must fit into certain patterns—good wine must be served first. We may think that we know everything when, in fact, we are ignorant. As a result, we have ignored the mystery of God and miss out on the wonderful work of God.

No matter what the situation or challenges, whether we see His work or not, understand His work or not, we ought to humble ourselves and fear God. We must trust in God’s wisdom and action by giving thanks in everything and constantly pursue spiritual growth. This is the way of becoming Christ’s disciples, the way to grow in faith.

弥赛亚酿的酒

约翰福音二1-11

耶稣在迦拿的婚宴以水变酒

第三日，邻近拿撒勒的一个农村，迦拿，正举行婚宴。婚宴通常是在新郎家举行，长达一个星期。古代婚宴不单是两夫妻的事，乃是牵涉到整个村庄的共同利益。人们彼此祝贺、跳舞、喝酒、并享用大量食物。耶稣的母亲—马利亚也在那里，而耶稣和门徒也赴宴。在宴席还在进行之际，客人喝的酒完了。这是很令人扫兴，叫主人家情何以堪的窘境。人生总有失算的一刻，怎么办呢？

耶稣的母亲对耶稣说：『他们没有酒了。』她示意耶稣出手解决这窘境。

耶稣回答：『妇人，我与你何干呢？我的时候还没有到。』

耶稣的母亲听见耶稣这么回答，没有感到不悦，却吩咐佣人说：『他告诉你们什么，你就做吧！』

耶稣的母亲，马利亚虽然不明白，但她仍然信靠和顺服耶稣，这确认了耶稣的弥赛亚的超越性。耶稣称呼母亲为『妇人』好像有些不客气，这点必须从神学角度疏解。

约翰福音在第一章就宣告：太初有道，道与神同在，道就是神。万物是借着道造的，凡被造，没有一样不是借着他造的。在一切还没有以先，道就是耶稣基督，已经存在了。尽管从人的眼光看，他是马利亚的儿子，但他其实是神的儿子，成了肉身住在人间。

永恒的道—圣子，与圣父有密切的关系。圣父决定圣子耶稣在地上工作的『时候』，特别是指到耶稣何时受难，复活显荣耀。耶稣在地上的母亲，相对与圣子与圣父的亲密关系，乃是局外人，是无能干预的。耶稣现在就要他的公开事工，他属马利亚儿子的身分必须淡化，因为他真正的身分是神的儿子，是全人类的主。因此耶稣如此回答他的母亲对他的请求。约翰福音强调耶稣的神性。

以色列传统『第三日』是指到西奈山律法颁布时，神的荣耀显现（出十九16）。耶稣死后『第三日』复活得荣耀。现在耶稣会在『第三日』的迦拿婚宴，显出他的荣耀吗？

耶稣接着吩咐佣人，把门口的六口石缸倒满水。这些石缸是用来盛水给人作洁净礼的。佣人就往六口缸倒满水。耶稣接着吩咐佣人倒水出来给宴会总管。佣人就送了去。佣人也是彻底的听从，顺服耶稣。筵席的总管尝了送来的水，哗，真是好酒！他就找来新郎埋怨说：『人家都是先摆上好酒，等客人喝够了才摆上次等的，你倒把好酒留到现在。』（10节）

耶稣在迦拿以水变酒，行了第一个神迹，显出他的荣耀。他的门徒就信了他（11节）。

在迦拿以水变酒展示的基督论

犹太信仰传统以婚姻来象征上帝与以色列的密切关系。在新约，婚姻象征耶稣与教会的关系。耶稣是新郎，教会是新妇。旧约常以丰盛筵席来指向将来弥赛亚的时代，神掌权统治。弥赛亚的筵席宣示选民被救赎，获得丰盛生命。赛二十五6：『在这山上，万军之耶和华必为万民摆设宴席，有肥甘与美酒，就是满有骨髓的肥甘与精酿的美酒。』

作者约翰提醒读者，耶稣在迦拿婚宴以水变酒的神迹，乃是一个『记号』。这『记号』是要说明耶稣的身份和工作。他就是那位旧约预言将来的弥赛亚。他在一个婚礼的筵席里，以水变酒，而且是喝不完，最好的酒留到最后；这说明他不仅是旧约的先知君王，也不仅是人们一般期待的弥赛亚，而是从天上来神的儿子，全世界的救主！他是“末后的美酒”来滋润和喂养世人。

耶稣死在十字架上代替我们受惩罚。他牺牲生命作为罪人的赎价，叫相信他的人得生命。这耶稣成就的救恩就是末后的筵席。他呼召我们来尝尝筵席的食物与美酒是如何的甘甜。山珍海味和醇酒，人从的感官上来认知，是万分刺激和千真万确的。当我们接受耶稣做我们的救主，与他联合，这救恩的筵席将会触动我们的心。耶稣的爱好比蜜那么甜，酒那么醇。我们不但意志或头脑上相信他，我们可以感受得到他真实，美善的同住，以及他是如何爱我们。

当你感到失落和羞愧，你可以来到耶稣这里，感受他怜悯与恩典的甘甜，你就会知道耶稣已经接纳了你。当你感到担忧和烦躁，你可以来到耶稣这里，从你的心眼看见他的威严与荣美。今天你可以在地上与耶稣联合，正如新娘与新郎那么亲密的联合，只要你接受耶稣做你生命的主，遵从他的吩咐。他要赐给你丰盛的生命。

信靠与服从主，生命得转化和蒙福

犹太人认为『七』是完美，因此六口石缸有欠完美，况且六口缸的水是平平无奇的东西，为了洁净手脚用。這代表猶太人僵化的信仰，不能夠为人填补缺陷，带来生命转化。当耶稣的母亲和佣人听从和顺服基督-『永恒的道』所发出的话，六口石缸的水就得以转化成上好的酒。耶稣供应的葡萄酒，预表圣餐的杯。他付出生命，流出的宝血救赎罪人，叫人的生命得以完全和丰盛。

耶稣的到来，颠覆、成全、甚至超越了犹太人礼仪的限制，为跟从他，顺服他吩咐的人带来新生命。耶稣是我们生命的筵席的真正管家。迦拿的筵席的管家是不称职的。他失算，不甚理解发生了什么！但是耶稣是最称职的生命的总管。他可以将不完美、缺乏和危机，转化成完美和丰盛。

人是有限的，无法掌握人生，无法确保生命完美和精彩。我们往往因为失算而经历危难，或因为人性软弱而彼此伤害。我们需要耶稣这位大管家来作我们生命的主。我们反省过去，我们能够突破障碍，更上一层楼，不是因为能够数算得天衣无缝，或是拥有丰富资源，而是懂得抓紧耶稣的恩典，信靠他，顺服他。正如马利亚和那些佣人，我们纵然很多时候不明白，仍然要顺服耶稣的话。

耶稣是我们及时的帮助，今天他仍然在做转化的神迹。耶稣要将我们生命中没用的『水』，变成有用的东西。我们要品尝到『弥赛亚酿的酒』，就必须每天亲近主，听他的话，顺服他的带领，就活在基督的旨意里。

让我们祷告：『主耶稣啊，求你进入我们的生命！为我们施行转化的神迹，叫危难变成良机，叫缺乏和软弱，变成丰盛和刚强。求你把我们生命中平常不显耀的东西，转化成祝福。』

凡事感恩和渴慕主，信心得以成长

耶稣在迦拿行的第一个神迹，标示他的身份与能力，而门徒的反应就是『信了他』，成为所有跟随耶稣的人之榜样。相对而言，那些倒水的佣人虽然看到耶稣行神迹，没有对耶稣作出正确的反应。他们和荣耀的耶稣擦身而过，这是很可惜，但也经常发生在我们身上。事实上，除非人的信心不断成长，否则经历某些神迹奇事并不能为信仰保证什么。一个由神迹奇事喂养的信徒，总会有枯萎的一天。

神的恩典经常围绕我们，他的爱不断向我们彰显，我们不要只看到眼前的好处—酒、神迹奇事；却忽略拿赏赐的手。让我们更多向施恩的主献上自己，渴慕他、追求认识他更多、殷勤服事、以及奉献给神心中所爱的，好叫我们在主恩典中，信心得以成长。

总管和宾客们不知道耶稣以水变酒。总管还投诉为何迟迟才摆上好酒。同样的，我们经历了神的作为和祝福，可能都不明白，或不知晓。或者我们好像总管那样，以为人生和神的工作都有特定的模式：好酒应该先摆上。我们以为自己什么都懂，其实是无知，因此我们忽略了神的奥秘，漠视了神的奇妙作为。

无论发生什么事，面对什么难题；无论看见或没看见神的作为，我们都当谦卑，敬畏神。我们要信靠神的智慧与作为，凡事感恩，追求灵命成长，这是我们作主门徒的安身立命之道。
