MEDITATION

Genesis 18:6-9

6 So Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah and said, “Quickly, make ready three measures of fine meal; knead it and make cakes.”
7 And Abraham ran to the herd, took a tender and good calf, gave it to a young man, and he hastened to prepare it.
8 So he took butter and milk and the calf which he had prepared, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree as they ate.
9 Then they said to him, “Where is Sarah your wife?” So he said, “Here, in the tent.”

经文：创世记 18：6-9

沉思

《创世记 18：6-9》
6亚伯拉罕急忙进帐篷见撒拉，说：“你速速拿三细亚细面调和做饼。”
7亚伯拉罕又跑到牛群里，牵了一只又嫩又好的牛犊来，交给仆人，仆人急忙预备好了。
8亚伯拉罕又取了奶油和奶，并预备好的牛犊来，摆在他们面前，自己在树下站在旁边，他们就吃了。

9他们问亚伯拉罕说：“你妻子撒拉在哪里？”他说：“在帐篷里。”

1. 他言出必行

a. 亚伯拉罕叫撒拉用细面粉来做饼给客人
b. 他也找了一只精选的牛犊宰杀给客人吃

2. 亲自提供丰盛的一餐

a. 这并不是简单的一餐
b. 这不是亚伯拉罕平日会享用的一餐
c. 以下的事项被强调：
i. 饼是用细面粉做的
ii. 所选的牛犊是又嫩又好的
iii. 奶油和奶也被提供
d. 亚伯拉罕亲自招待客人
i. 他站在旁边招待客人
ii. 他不是以主人而是以仆人的态度来伺候他们

3. 天外来客的询问

他们没见到撒拉。他们想知道她在哪里。他们好心地问候她。亚伯拉罕回应说她在帐篷里（家）。
