魔鬼比人们更紧张神的工作

Matthew 27:62-66 (New International Version, ©2011)

The Guard at the Tomb
62 The next day, the one after Preparation Day, the chief priests and the Pharisees went to Pilate. 63 “Sir,” they said, “we remember that while he was still alive that deceiver said, ‘After three days I will rise again.’ 64 So give the order for the tomb to be made secure until the third day. Otherwise, his disciples may come and steal the body and tell the people that he has been raised from the dead. This last deception will be worse than the first.”
65 “Take a guard,” Pilate answered. “Go, make the tomb as secure as you know how.” 66 So they went and made the tomb secure by putting a seal on the stone and posting the guard.


今天，当我读到这段经文的时候，有一个意外的发现。因为我发现，主耶稣不断告诉他的门徒们，我有一天会被捉，被钉，死，三日后复活。可是，门徒们却不以为然，甚至耶稣的被捉，被钉和死去的话真的应验的时候，他们还是懵懵懂懂。不知道救主将会在三天后复活。相反的是一群反对耶稣的人，那群出卖他，钉他十字架的人们，紧张他真的会在三天后出现什么变化？当然，他们不会真的相信有复活这件事。然而他们却做出“预备”，防止一切的“可能性”的发生。

而今天的我们呢？还在，沉睡和无动于衷吗？太荒谬了！基督徒们，我们是时候，专心等候神，明白他的心意，完成他所托付之工！

真的，今天相比之下，魔鬼比我们更紧张神的工！
