COMPASSION: DOING GOD'S WORK IN GOD'S WAY

主動了慈心: 用神的方法作神的工作

  

Matthew  9:35-38

Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness.

When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.  Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few.   Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field."

馬太福音 9:35-38

耶穌走遍各城各鄉,在會堂裡教訓人,宣講天國的福音,又醫治各樣的病症。

他看見許多的人,就憐憫他們.因為他們困苦流離,如同羊沒有牧人一般。

於是對門徒說,要收的莊稼多,作工的人少.

所以你們當求莊稼的主,打發工人出去,收他的莊稼。

 

 

Matthew 11:28-30

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."

馬太福音 11:28-30

凡勞苦擔重擔的人,可以到我這裡來,我就使你們得安息。

我心裡柔和謙卑,你們當負我的軛,學我的樣式,這樣,你們心裡就必得享安息。

因為我的軛是容易的,我的擔子是輕省的。

 

Mark 1:40-41

A man with leprosy came to him and begged him on his knees, "If you are willing, you can make me clean."  Filled with compassion, Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. "I am willing," he said. "Be clean!"

馬可福音 11:28-30

有一個長大痳瘋的,來求耶穌,向他跪下說,你若肯,必能叫我潔淨了。

耶穌動了慈心,就伸手摸他,說,我肯,你潔淨了罷。

 

 

Luke 15:20

So he got up and went to his father. "But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.

路加福音 15:20

於是起來往他父親那裡去。相離還遠,他父親看見,就動了慈心,跑去抱著他的頸項,連連與他親嘴。

John 6:38-40

For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me.  And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all that he has given me, but raise them up at the last day. For my Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day."

約翰福音 6:38-40

因為我從天上降下來,不是要按自己的意思行,乃是要按那差我來者的意思行。

差我來者的意思,就是他所賜給我的,叫我一個也不失落,在末日卻叫他復活。

因為我父的意思,是叫一切見子而信的人得永生.並且在末日我要叫他復活。

憐憫的意義, 耶穌如何表明它

 

體會 神如何看我

 

體會 神希望我如何看別人

看人帶著憐憫

彼此相看帶著同等和無限的價值

從他們的角度了解人的感覺及需要

為實際的需要顯出真實的關心

動機是將所有的人連在一起 一個也不失落
