门徒的工作

January 20, 2025 by Ken Yates in 聚焦恩典 - 人性, 可6:12-13, 可6:30-43, 施洗约翰, 门徒
在《马可福音》 6:12-13 中,耶稣向以色列差派十二门徒。如果能成为其中一员,一定会非常激动人心。他们宣讲施洗约翰和主所宣讲的同样的信息。耶稣就是基督。信他的人将因此获得永生。如果整个民族悔改,神的国度就会降临到那一代人身上。 像约翰和耶稣曾向大批群众传道一样。十二门徒也是如此。他们有幸将这一好消息带到了许多犹太城市。 但还有更多的门徒。借着主赐给他们的能力,他们能够行神迹。赶鬼,医治了许多病人。 我毫不怀疑,许多听过他们演讲、看过他们创造奇迹的人都对他们印象深刻。我也相信,十二门徒也有为自己的成就感到骄傲的时候。他们很容易得出结论:他们是成功的门徒。结果不言自明。除了大批群众的光临和崇拜,还能用什么来衡量成功呢? 然而,这种成功观会导致灾难性的结果。门徒会觉得,当人们被他吸引时,他就成功了。如果很多人对他的天赋和演讲能力印象深刻,那么他就做得很好。 但这并不是成功门徒的标准。甚至在《马可福音》第六章中,我们也可以看到如何衡量这种成功。在第 30 节中,门徒们结束了在全国的传道工作。我们不知道他们在这次巡回布道中呆了多长时间,但当他们来到主面前时,他们把一切都告诉了主。毫不奇怪,他们告诉主 “他们所作的……所教训的”。 接下来的经文才是衡量他们所作所为的真正标准。在第 31 节中,马可记录了一大群人来听耶稣讲道。门徒们告诉成千上万的人耶稣就是基督。他们所行的神迹是因为他们是耶稣的使者。现在,人们要亲眼目睹真正的耶稣了。 十二门徒在各个城市传道治病时可能感到的任何骄傲都是错误的。门徒的工作不是给人留下深刻印象。而是把人们引向基督。当众人前来聆听门徒们所说的那一位时,祂奇迹般地喂饱了他们。祂向他们表明祂是他们的牧者(马可福音 6:39-43)。没有祂,十二门徒什么也不是。 当人们出来听主讲话时,我不知道十二门徒是怎么想的。他们是否对人们把注意力集中在主身上有一点点不满?还是他们抱着施洗约翰的态度–“他必兴旺,我必衰微”? 如果他们感到一阵嫉妒,也是可以理解的。但我相信,随着他们灵性的成熟,这种感觉也会过去。 我们也会落入同样的陷阱。当人们对我们的可能成就印象深刻时,我们就会认为自己是成功的基督跟随者。但衡量成功的真正标准是我们把人们引向祂。

What Is the Word of Christ? (Colossians 3:16)

January 17, 2025 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - The word of the Lord
In a recent message at church, Philippe Sterling mentioned Col 3:16. It is a famous verse. I love it. What hit me as I saw it with fresh eyes is that Paul spoke of the word of Christ, not the word of God. I thought, “Does the expression occur anywhere else? I do not think

Ang Trabaho Ng Isang Alagad

Sa Marcos 6:12-13, sinugo ni Jesus ang labindalawang alagad sa bansang Israel. Eksayting ang maging bahagi ng grupong ito. Itinuro nila ang parehong mensaheng tinuro ni Juan Bautista at ipinangaral ng Panginoon. Si Jesus ang Cristo. Ang nanampalataya sa Kaniya para sa buhay na walang hanggan ay tatanggap nito. Kung ang bansa, sa kabuuan ay

Daje li besplatna milost ljudima dozvolu za grijeh?

January 16, 2025 by Bob Wilkin in Milost u Fokusu - Antinomizam, Plaća grijeha
Mihael je poslao ovo izvrsno pitanje: Dobar dan. Nedavno sam slušao vašu radijsku emisiju od 7. kolovoza pod naslovom “Ako izgubim sigurnost, gubim li vječni život?” Tijekom ove epizode raspravljalo se o uobičajenom pitanju ili prigovoru na poziciju besplatne milosti u vezi s jamstvom/OSAS-om koji ljudima daje dozvolu da griješe i žive kako god žele

Can You Live Forever?

I recently saw a news segment about a tech billionaire named Bryan Johnson. He was claiming that we can live forever. I don’t know if he believes a person can literally live forever, but he certainly thinks we can greatly extend our physical lives. I guess he believes that future advancements in science will allow

Ненастоящие святые или тайные? – Иоанна 2:23-25

January 15, 2025 by Bob Wilkin in Бесплатный дар благодати - Иоанна 2:23-25
И когда Он был в Иерусалиме на празднике Пасхи, то многие, видя чудеса, которые Он творил, уверовали во имя Его. Но Сам Иисус не вверял Себя им, потому что знал всех и не имел нужды, чтобы кто засвидетельствовал о человеке, ибо Сам знал, что в человеке. (Иоанна 2:23-25) Эти три стиха на первый взгляд просты

白白恩典的人有犯罪许可吗?

January 15, 2025 by Bob Wilkin in 聚焦恩典 - 反律法论, 罪的工价
麦克问了很好的问题: 下午好。我最近收听了你们在 8 月 7 日播出的广播节目,题为 “如果我失去了确信,我会失去永生吗?在这期节目中,讨论了对白白恩典立场的常见问题或反对意见,即确信/OSAS(一次得救永远得救)给了人们犯罪的许可,让人们可以随心所欲地生活而不承担任何后果。我认为这种指责是稻草人论证。我所看到的证据并不能证明这一点。我在生活中经历过白白恩典和温和的主权救恩教导,我的经验表明,持白白恩典立场的人更有可能委身和坚持不懈。主权救恩不可能达到的标准会让人精疲力竭,许多人在发现自己无法达到要求时就会离开。我相信这是可能的,但我从未见过一个相信白白恩典神学的人也认为自己有犯罪的许可。我想听听你们对这个问题的看法。 我同意迈克尔的观点,即 “犯罪许可 ”是一个稻草人。即使是无神论者也不认为他们有犯罪许可。每个人都知道,如果吸食芬太尼,除非通过戒毒,否则很快就会死亡。每个人都知道吸毒(包括酗酒)是可怕的。没有一个白白恩典的人相信你可以离开主而不承担任何后果。种瓜得瓜,种豆得豆。 的确,许多坚持行为救赎(包括 “主权救赎”)的人最终都会精疲力竭,一走了之。对地狱的恐惧会使人瘫痪。 白白恩典立场认为,我们一旦得救,就会永远得救。无论我们如何生活,都是如此。但我们也教导说,种瓜得瓜,种豆得豆。因此,如果我们成为浪子,我们就会发现自己处于饥荒之中,除非并直到我们回到天父身边(路15:11-24)。如果我们不与主相交,我们就会在基督的审判台前蒙羞(约一 2:28),错过与主永远统治的机会(提后 2:12),尽管我们将与主永远同在(帖前 5:10)。 我认识一些拥护白白恩典的,他们几乎相信自己有犯罪的许可。这样的人不多。但也有几个。 我曾经遇到过一个人,他在电台做传道工作。他自称主张白白恩典。他说,如今信徒不受任何律法约束。一切都是合法的。我们不需要认罪。无论如何,我们都能与神相交。认罪是律法主义。 他在节目中(和报刊上)举了一个例子:一个国王娶了一个妓女,然后宣布卖淫在他的国家合法。他认为既然妓女不再是非法的,她就不会再做妓女了。他的观点是,当信徒意识到没有什么是非法的,罪就失去了吸引力,我们就会乐于顺服上帝。 具有讽刺意味的是,几年后,他在一次钓鱼执法中因嫖娼被捕,在这次行动中,一名女警官假扮成妓女。他们录下了他提出支付性费用的录音。他不认罪。后来,他说自己是无辜的,但认罪是为了节省事工里的钱。他的解释并没有让数十家电台信服,这些电台纷纷放弃了他的节目。 我相信,即使是那个人和他的追随者也知道,种瓜得瓜,种豆得豆。当他被逮捕、拘押、审判,并在法庭上被定罪时,他肯定体会到了这一点。 即使只是粗略地研究一下新约中的律法(nomos)一词,也会发现信徒是在 “基督的律法 ”和 “至尊的律法 ”之下(加 6:2;雅 2:8)。虽然我们不再在摩西律法之下,但我们在新约的诫命之下。 白白恩典教导我们,种瓜得瓜,种豆得豆,不仅在今生,在来生也会结出今天所种下的果子。(路加福音 15:11-24;19:16-26;加拉太书 6:7-9;启示录 2:26)。 有白白恩典的人有跌倒的吗?当然有,但也有很多加尔文主义者和阿米念主义者跌倒。我同意迈克尔的观点。白白恩典的比那些相信主权救恩的人更不容易迷失。 关注恩典。 ___ 鲍勃·威尔金(Bob Wilkin)(达拉斯神学院神学硕士,博士)恩典福音派协会(Grace Evangelical Society)创始人及执行主任,聚焦恩典电台(Grace in Focus Radio)联合主持人。他同妻子莎伦(Sharon)住在德州高地村(Highland Village, TX)。鲍勃最新的书有《在一百节经文中的“单凭信心”(暂译)》(Faith Alone in One Hundred Verses)和《回转来活:悔改的力量(暂译)》(Turn and Live: The Power of Repentance)。

Did You Know That Believer’s Baptism Was a Capital Crime during the Reformation? 

January 15, 2025 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - martyrs, Persecution
I’ve been reading The Pilgrim Church, by E. H. Broadbent. The book discusses church history from around AD 100 to 1900. Did you know that during the Reformation, millions of people were tortured and, if they refused to recant, were put to death for their Christian beliefs and practices?i And did you know that the

El trabajo del discípulo

En Marcos 6:12-13, Jesús envía a los doce discípulos a la nación de Israel. Debió de haber sido emocionante formar parte de ese grupo. Predicaron el mismo mensaje que Juan el Bautista y el Señor habían proclamado: Jesús era el Cristo. Aquellos que creyeran en Él recibirían la vida eterna. Si la nación en su

Kamakailan nakinig ako sa inyong episodo sa radyo nitong Agosto 7 na may pamagat na, “If I Lose Assurance, Do I Lose Everlasting Life?” (Kung Maiwala ko ang Aking Katiyakan, Maiwawala Ko Ba Ang Buhay na Walang Hanggan?)
