In the Temple

Text: John 9:1-2

IN THE TEMPLE

Many went to the Temple to seek God and to pray. Jesus saw the many people who came and He sought to teach them about God.

However, the religious leaders kept interfering His teaching program. They did this in a number of ways:

1. They wanted to debate Him.

2. They questioned everything He taught.

3. They cast doubts about Jesus.

4. They made wild accusations against Him.

Jesus had no choice but to leave the Temple. Had He not left when He did, the Jews would have thrown stones at Him. God helped Him to escape from the evil plans of the religious leaders.

OUT IN THE STREETS

Ministry for Jesus did not cease when He walked out of the Temple. Ministry may be found anywhere people had needs.

“Now as Jesus passed by, He saw a man who was blind from birth. And His disciples asked him, saying, ‘Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?’”

John 9:1-2

1. “Now as Jesus passed by”

a) This text is best read with John 8:59 in mind.
b) He had passed through the crowds who wanted to kill Him.
c) As He walked past the hostile crowd in the temple, He saw a blind man.

2. Meeting with the blind man

a) This did not happen by chance.
b) All things have been arranged by God.
c) But not all are able to see and understand the works of God.

3. “His disciples asked Him”

a) “Rabbi” simply means “Respected or great Teacher”.
b) This was one of the common ways His disciples and others would sometimes address Him.

4. The question that the disciples raised

a) What caused this blindness?
b) If it was sin, who sinned? His parents or the man himself?

This was an unfortunate and wrong way of understanding the plight of the blind man!

经文：约翰福音 9：1-2

在殿里

很多人到殿里寻求上帝，向上帝祈祷。耶稣试图教导到殿里的人关于上帝的道。

但是，宗教领袖们却不断地干扰耶稣的教导。他们用了以下方式：

1. 他们要和耶稣辩论

2. 他们对耶稣所教的一切都起疑问

3. 他们质疑耶稣

4. 他们污蔑耶稣

耶稣因此必须离开圣殿。如果祂没有这么做，犹太人会拿石头打祂。上帝帮助耶稣逃离宗教领袖邪恶的计划。

在街上

耶稣的职事并没有因为祂从殿里离去而停止。只要人有需要，祂的职事就在此存在。

“耶稣过去的时候，看见一个人生来是瞎眼的。门徒问耶稣说：‘拉比，这人生来是瞎眼的，是谁犯了罪？是这人呢，是他父母呢？’”

《约翰福音 9：1-2》

1. “耶稣过去的时候”

a. 当读这段经文时，最好也参考约《翰福音 8：59》
b. 祂走过想要杀祂的群众
c. 当祂在殿里走过这一群充满敌意的人群时，祂看见了一个瞎眼的人

2. 看到瞎了眼的人

a. 并不是巧合
b. 凡事都在上帝的安排以内
c. 但是并不是每个人都看得见，并且明白上帝所成的事

3. 祂的门徒问祂

a. “拉比”的意思是“受尊敬或伟大的老师”
b. 这是门徒和其他人常称呼耶稣的方式

4. 门徒问的问题

a. 什么造成了这个人瞎眼？
b. 如果是罪，是谁犯了罪? 是这人呢，还是他父母呢？

用这种方式看待这位瞎了眼的人，是非常不幸及错误的！
