遇見神 (王向紅長老)

遇見神 (王向紅長老)

雅各因犯了欺騙案要跑去媽媽的娘家哈蘭避風頭。雅各在母親利百加眼中是最好的，在神眼中卻是完全兩樣。神看重雅各的心，但卻要對付他這個人。亞伯拉罕行走在地上有神的同在，而雅各卻淪為一個孤苦伶仃流浪漢；然而神在雅各感到孤獨而渺茫的時候，卻以恩典和慈愛待他，與他相遇作伴，並且將祂對亞伯拉罕的應許延續到雅各身上，顯明神的信實與恩典。


雅各因按照世界的方式行事為人，就落入到世界法則的危險中，這對我們無疑是一個很好的提醒；要我們去認識神向我們所存的意念是何等寶貴，使我們在神面前的行事為人，長存無愧的良心。

創世紀 28:10-22 (和合本)

  1. 雅各出了別是巴，向哈蘭走去。
  2. 到了一個地方，因為太陽落了，就在那裡住宿，便拾起那地方的一塊石頭枕在頭下，在那裡躺臥睡了。
  3. 夢見一個梯子立在地上，梯子的頭頂著天，有神的使者在梯子上上去下來。
  4. 耶和華站在梯子以上，說：「我是耶和華你祖亞伯拉罕的神，也是以撒的神，我要將你現在所躺臥之地賜給你和你的後裔。
  5. 你的後裔必像地上的塵沙那樣多，必向東西南北開展。地上萬族必因你和你的後裔得福。
  6. 我也與你同在，你無論往哪裡去，我必保佑你，領你歸回這地，總不離棄你，直到我成全了向你所應許的。」
  7. 雅各睡醒了，說：「耶和華真在這裡，我竟不知道！」
  8. 就懼怕，說：「這地方何等可畏！這不是別的，乃是神的殿，也是天的門。」
  9. 雅各清早起來，把所枕的石頭立做柱子，澆油在上面。
  10. 他就給那地方起名叫伯特利，但那地方起先名叫路斯。
  11. 雅各許願說：「神若與我同在，在我所行的路上保佑我，又給我食物吃、衣服穿，
  12. 使我平平安安地回到我父親的家，我就必以耶和華為我的神，
  13. 我所立為柱子的石頭也必做神的殿。凡你所賜給我的，我必將十分之一獻給你。」
Genesis 28:10-22 (NIV)

  1. Jacob left Beersheba and set out for Harran.
  2. When he reached a certain place, he stopped for the night because the sun had set. Taking one of the stones there, he put it under his head and lay down to sleep.
  3. He had a dream in which he saw a stairway resting on the earth, with its top reaching to heaven, and the angels of God were ascending and descending on it.
  4. There above it stood the Lord, and he said: “I am the Lord, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac. I will give you and your descendants the land on which you are lying.
  5. Your descendants will be like the dust of the earth, and you will spread out to the west and to the east, to the north and to the south. All peoples on earth will be blessed through you and your offspring.
  6. I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.”
  7. When Jacob awoke from his sleep, he thought, “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I was not aware of it.”
  8. He was afraid and said, “How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God; this is the gate of heaven.”
  9. Early the next morning Jacob took the stone he had placed under his head and set it up as a pillar and poured oil on top of it.
  10. He called that place Bethel, though the city used to be called Luz.
  11. Then Jacob made a vow, saying, “If God will be with me and will watch over me on this journey I am taking and will give me food to eat and clothes to wear
  12. so that I return safely to my father’s household, then the Lord will be my God
  13. and this stone that I have set up as a pillar will be God’s house, and of all that you give me I will give you a tenth.”
