Madaling makulong sa mga bula. Inaakala natin nang walang kamalayan na ng mga bagay na ating iniisip o ipinag-aalala ay ang mga bagay na iniisip o ipinag-aalala ng iba. Ngunit paminsan-minsan ang ating mga bula ay pumuputok at natatanto nating hindi ganito ang nangyayari. May isang magtatanong o kaya ay tatalakay ng isang isyung hindi […]

Недавно я слышал как пастор Баркеф Осиджиан [англ. Barkef Osigian] анализировал отрывок в Послании к Галатам 3:15-29. Он отметил, что слово “обещание” попадается восемь раз в этих стихах. Проповедь Баркефа заставила меня поразмыслить и написать данную статью. Слово “обещание” попадается тридцать раз в Посланиях апостола Павла. В свою очередь “обещания” (во множественном числе) он употребляет […]
È facile rimanere intrappolati in una bolla. Crediamo, inconsciamente, che le cose che pensiamo o di cui ci preoccupiamo siano le stesse per tutti. Qualche volta, però, questa bolla finisce per scoppiare e ci rendiamo conto che non è così. Qualcuno solleverà una domanda o discuterà di un problema che non ci è mai passato […]
When I was in college, I attended one of our nation’s military service academies. Naturally, we studied our nation’s heroes. All the buildings on campus were named after such men. These men had shown extraordinary courage in the face of danger during our country’s wars. As cadets, we were incredibly busy. We went to class, […]
东北地区的马克发来了一个《马可福音 》1:14-15 中关于“福音”的常见问题: 《马可福音》1:15 说:“‘时候到了,神的国近了,你们应当悔改,相信福音!’” 我和妻子都是忠实的听众。能否请您详细解释一下这节经文? 要理解第 15 节,你必须参考上一节经文。14节写道:“约翰被捕以后,耶稣来到加利利,宣讲 神的福音”。“福音”一词翻译过来的意思就是“好消息”。上下文告诉我们,第 15 节指的是神的天国的好消息正在向那一代犹太人提供。天国已经临近。有些译本说它“就在眼前了(at hand.”)”。 如果我们认为这是指给加拉太人的信中的好消息:唯独因信称义,与行为无关。那就让人很糊涂了。 但主耶稣为什么要提到悔改呢?永生的条件是对基督的信,而不是悔改。这里的问题不是个人的救恩。问题的关键在于神的国度将降临给当时生活在这里的整个以色列民族。 为了让天国降临,犹太民族必须相信并与神相交。因此,神呼召人们悔改,相信神的天国就在眼前。相信神的天国就在眼前很可能意味着一个人需要相信耶稣是带来天国的王。如果有人相信这一点,他很可能就会相信耶稣永生的应许,即所有信祂的人都会得到永生(如《约翰福音》 3:16)。 参见2022年2 月的博客对《马可福音》 1:14-15 的解释。 可悲的是,许多人误解并认为天国的福音就是向所有悔改并相信基督的人提供永远的救恩(例如,见 gotquestions.org 的这篇文章)。当我翻阅各种注释时,除了《恩典新约注释》(The Grace NT Commentary)之外,其他所有注释都将《马可福音》 1:15 解释为耶稣向悔改并相信天国已经降临的人提供永远的救恩。 《马可福音》1:15 与《约翰福音》3:16 的信息是不可能相同的。前者是呼吁以色列国悔改并相信天国已经临近,以至天国就在那时降临。《约翰福音》3:16则应许信耶稣的人得永生,且永不灭亡。 《约翰福音》 3:16 没有提到悔改或天国。 《马可福音》1:15 也没有提到永生或相信主耶稣会得到永生。 《约翰福音》是一本传福音的书,而《马可福音》不是。 “天国的福音”在新约中只出现过五次,都在《马太福音》和《马可福音》中(《马太福音》 4:23;9:35;24:14;《马可福音》 1:14-15)。除《马太福音》24:14 外,其他都表明主耶稣在祂在地上的事工传道时传扬了天国的好消息。 《马太福音》24:14 指的是人们在大灾难期间传讲天国的福音。耶稣预言说:“这天国的福音要传遍天下,向万民作见证,然后末期才来到。”今天,我们没有受命去传天国的福音。我们不知道在被提和大灾难开始之前还有多久。但是,一旦天国离我们不到七年的时间,天国即将来临的好消息就会再次被传。 如果我们认识到,天国曾在第一世纪提供给以色列,但却遭到了拒绝,那么《马可福音》 1:14-15 就很容易理解了。 ___ 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, […]
El otro día, escuché al pastor Barkef Osigian hacer una exposición de Gálatas 3:15-29. Señaló que la palabra promesa aparece ocho veces en esos versículos. El mensaje de Barkef me hizo reflexionar y escribir esta entrada de blog. La palabra promesa aparece treinta veces en las epístolas de Pablo. Se refiere a promesas, en plural, […]
Nang isang araw napakinggan kong tinalakay ni Pastor Barkef Osigian ang Gal 3:15-29. Pinunto niyang ang salitang pangako ay nabanggit nang walong beses sa mga sitas na iyan. Ang mensahe ni Barkef ang nag-udyok sa aking magnilay at sulatin ang blog na ito. Ang salitang pangako ay masusumpungan nang tatlumpong ulit sa mga epistula ni […]
Jacob was returning to the Promised Land after twenty-one years in Padan Aram. He left single. He returned with two wives, two concubines, eleven sons, and many flocks and herds. Moses doesn’t give any precise details about the fight. We are not told about leglocks, takedowns, or half nelsons. But we are told this was […]
