“你们来看吧。”

Jul 8, 2023

耶稣说:“你们来看吧。”他们便跟着去看耶稣住的地方。(约翰福音1:39)

对约翰和安得烈来说,听施洗约翰的见证还不足够。我们大多数人只要能围在全国首屈一指的布道者身边就心满意足了。还会有比他更好的老师吗?是的。当约翰和安得烈遇见耶稣,也就是施洗者约翰所见证的那位,他们就离开约翰,跟随了耶稣。请留意他们的要求:“你住在哪里?”(约翰福音1:38)耶稣回答说:“‘你们来看吧。’他们便跟着去看耶稣住的地方。”(约翰福音1:39)他们想要认识耶稣,想查明什么缘由使祂转过身来,使祂的心如此炽热,使祂的灵如此渴慕上帝。他们想要专注于耶稣并跟随祂的脚步,想知道祂是否像施洗约翰所见证的那样。倘若是真的,祂到底在做什么?仅与他人交谈不能回答这个问题,你必须要花时间跟“这人”在一起。耶稣给门徒的答复,同样也是给你的:“你们来看吧。”看什么?一、看祂如何对待权力。耶稣从未利用权力来压制别人或为自己创造财富。二、看祂如何对待人们。祂没有把他们视为个人成就道途中的干扰、烦恼或障碍。不,“祂看见众人,心里怜悯他们。”(马太福音9:36)三、看祂如何处理优先秩序。“成群的人聚集到祂那里听祂讲道、求祂医病。不过,祂还是常常退到旷野去祷告。”(路加福音5:15-16)祂知道某些我们不知道的事情吧?!每天花时间祷告,没有比这更难信守或更重要的承诺了。
