神救贖的旨意勝過撒旦的敵擋
God’s Redemption Plan Overpowers the Opposition from Satan
1. 法老王的殺嬰計畫 The Pharaoh’s plan of killing the infants of the Israelites
[出1:15-22] [15]有希伯來的兩個收生婆,一名施弗拉,一名普阿;埃及王對他們說:
[16]「你們為希伯來婦人收生,看他們臨盆的時候,若是男孩,就把他殺了;若是女
孩,就留他存活。」[17]但是收生婆敬畏神,不照埃及王的吩咐行,竟存留男孩的性
命。[18]埃及王召了收生婆來,說:「你們為什麼做這事,存留男孩的性命呢?」
[19]收生婆對法老說:「因為希伯來婦人與埃及婦人不同;希伯來婦人本是健壯的,收
生婆還沒有到,他們已經生產了。」[20]神厚待收生婆。以色列人多起來,極其強盛。
[21]收生婆因為敬畏神,神便叫他們成立家室。[22]法老吩咐他的眾民說:「以色列人
所生的男孩,你們都要丟在河裡;一切的女孩,你們要存留他的性命。」
Exo1:[15] The king of Egypt said to the Hebrew midwives, whose names were Shiphrah and Puah, [16] When you help the Hebrew women in childbirth and observe them on the delivery stool, if it is a boy, kill him; but if it is a girl, let her live. [17] The midwives, however, feared God and did not do what the king of Egypt had told them to do; they let the boys live. [18] Then the king of Egypt summoned the midwives and asked them, "Why have you done this? Why have you let the boys live?" [19] The midwives answered Pharaoh, "Hebrew women are not like Egyptian women; they are vigorous and give birth before the midwives arrive." [20] So God was kind to the midwives and the people increased and became even more numerous. [21] And because the midwives feared God, he gave them families of their own. [22] Then Pharaoh gave this order to all his people: "Every boy that is born you must throw into the Nile, but let every girl live."

3. 神救贖的旨意勝過撒旦的攔阻
God’s Redemption Plan overpowers the Opposition from Satan
[出2:1-10][1]有一個利未家的人娶了一個利未女子為妻。[2]那女人懷孕,生一個兒子,見他
俊美,就藏了他三個月,[3]後來不能再藏,就取了一個蒲草箱,抹上石漆和石油,將孩子放在
裡頭,把箱子擱在河邊的蘆荻中。[4]孩子的姊姊遠遠站著,要知道他究竟怎麼樣。[5]法老的
女兒來到河邊洗澡,他的使女們在河邊行走。他看見箱子在蘆荻中,就打發一個婢女拿來。[6]
他打開箱子,看見那孩子。孩子哭了,他就可憐他,說:「這是希伯來人的一個孩子。」[7]孩
子的姊姊對法老的女兒說:「我去在希伯來婦人中叫一個奶媽來,為你奶這孩子,可以不可
以?」[8]法老的女兒說:「可以。」童女就去叫了孩子的母親來。[9]法老的女兒對他說:
「你把這孩子抱去,為我奶他,我必給你工價。」婦人就抱了孩子去奶他。[10]孩子漸長,婦人
把他帶到法老的女兒那裡,就作了他的兒子。他給孩子起名叫摩西,意思說:「因我把他從水
裡拉出來。」
[Exo 2:1-10] Now a man of the house of Levi married a Levite woman, [2] and she became pregnant and gave birth to a son. When she saw that he was a fine child, she hid him for three months. [3] But when she could hide him no longer, she got a papyrus basket for him and coated it with tar and pitch. Then she placed the child in it and put it among the reeds along the bank of the Nile. [4] His sister stood at a distance to see what would happen to him. [5] Then Pharaoh's daughter went down to the Nile to bathe, and her attendants were walking along the river bank. She saw the basket among the reeds and sent her slave girl to get it. [6] She opened it and saw the baby. He was crying, and she felt sorry for him. "This is one of the Hebrew babies," she said. [7] Then his sister asked Pharaoh's daughter, "Shall I go and get one of the Hebrew women to nurse the baby for you?" [8] Yes, go, she answered. And the girl went and got the baby's mother. [9] Pharaoh's daughter said to her, "Take this baby and nurse him for me, and I will pay you." So the woman took the baby and nursed him. [10] When the child grew older, she took him to Pharaoh's daughter and he became her son. She named him Moses, saying, "I drew him out of the water."
[太 1:21]他將要生一個兒子,你要給他起名叫耶穌,因他要將自己的百姓從罪惡裡救出
來。
[Matt. 1:21] She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save
his people from their sins."
4. 對撒旦的諷刺 The Irony of Satan
(1). 撒旦越逼迫,福音越傳開來。
The more oppressive Satan is, the more wide spread of gospel will become.
(2). 撒旦要藉女人的手執行滅種計劃,但是女人卻破壞他的計劃。
Satan used women to execute his plan of genocide, but women thwart the destructive plan of
Satan.
(3). 法老要藉尼羅河淹死以色列的嬰孩,尼羅河卻把摩西漂到法老家裡。
Pharaoh wanted to use the Nile River to drown all the new born male babies, but God used the
Nile River to deliver Moses to the house of Pharaoh.
5. 神最終的旨意成就 The Fulfillment of God’s Eternal Will
[來 2:14]「兒女既同有血肉之體,他也照樣親自成了血肉之體,特要藉著死敗壞那掌
死權的,就是魔鬼」
Heb2:14 Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he
might destroy him who holds the power of death--that is, the devil--
[彼前 2:24]「他被掛在木頭上,親身擔當了我們的罪,使我們既然在罪上死,就得以在
義上活。」
1Pt2:24 He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for
righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed.
