成為挪亞或是成為? (張仕儒牧師)

成為挪亞或是成為? (張仕儒牧師)

上週卓牧師用挪亞的故事告訴我們，在世上我們或許有很多追求，但是神真正的心意要我們做一個屬於祂的人，我們今天要繼續往下面看，看看挪亞在回應主的呼召之後，他會面對什麼樣的事情，他又怎樣活出神對他的恩召。有時候我們會看到新聞中的報導，種種的社會、治安、政治等的敗壞，但是在今天的經文中，我們看到原來世界的敗壞早在挪亞的時代就已經有了，難免會問，為什麼神的公義會允許這些不公義的事情發生呢？因為人的盡頭尚未來到，神的心意並不是要消滅世界，而是希望跟人有美好的親密關係。我們必須抓住機會，去做神要我們做的事情。


我們都有神所託付的使命，都有神所賜給的能力，也都有神所安排的平台，讓我們可以活出鹽和光的生命來，但是如果我們不讀經、不禱告，不去聆聽神要告訴我們的話，我們就無法與神連結，無法享受與主的連結。


創世記 6:11-22 (和合本)

  1. 世界在神面前敗壞，地上滿了強暴。
  2. 神觀看世界，見是敗壞了，凡有血氣的人，在地上都敗壞了行為。
    神命挪亞造方舟
  3. 神就對挪亞說：「凡有血氣的人，他的盡頭已經來到我面前，因為地上滿了他們的強暴。我要把他們和地一併毀滅。
  4. 你要用歌斐木造一隻方舟，分一間一間地造，裡外抹上松香。
  5. 方舟的造法乃是這樣：要長三百肘，寬五十肘，高三十肘。
  6. 方舟上邊要留透光處，高一肘。方舟的門要開在旁邊。方舟要分上、中、下三層。
  7. 看哪，我要使洪水氾濫在地上，毀滅天下，凡地上有血肉、有氣息的活物，無一不死。
  8. 我卻要與你立約，你同你的妻，與兒子、兒婦，都要進入方舟。
  9. 凡有血肉的活物，每樣兩個，一公一母，你要帶進方舟，好在你那裡保全生命。
  10. 飛鳥各從其類，牲畜各從其類，地上的昆蟲各從其類，每樣兩個，要到你那裡，好保全生命。
  11. 你要拿各樣食物積蓄起來，好做你和牠們的食物。」
  12. 挪亞就這樣行。凡神所吩咐的，他都照樣行了。
Genesis 6:11-22 (NIV)

  1. Now the earth was corrupt in God’s sight and was full of violence.
  2. God saw how corrupt the earth had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways.
  3. So God said to Noah, “I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to destroy both them and the earth.
  4. So make yourself an ark of cypress wood; make rooms in it and coat it with pitch inside and out.
  5. This is how you are to build it: The ark is to be three hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide and thirty cubits high.
  6. Make a roof for it, leaving below the roof an opening one cubit high all around. Put a door in the side of the ark and make lower, middle and upper decks.
  7. I am going to bring floodwaters on the earth to destroy all life under the heavens, every creature that has the breath of life in it. Everything on earth will perish.
  8. But I will establish my covenant with you, and you will enter the ark—you and your sons and your wife and your sons’ wives with you.
  9. You are to bring into the ark two of all living creatures, male and female, to keep them alive with you.
  10. Two of every kind of bird, of every kind of animal and of every kind of creature that moves along the ground will come to you to be kept alive.
  11. You are to take every kind of food that is to be eaten and store it away as food for you and for them.”
  12. Noah did everything just as God commanded him.
