My Song In The Night (Gospel of Luke)
我夜间的歌曲《路加福音》
Text: Luke 9: 61-62
ANOTHER WOULD-BE FOLLOWER
1. There was another person who wanted to follow the Lord Jesus.
2. This was what he said to the Lord.
“And another also said, ‘Lord, I will follow You, but let me first go and bid them farewell who are at my house.’”
Luke 9:61
3. What did he mean?
a. On the surface:
i. He expressed a desire to follow the Lord Jesus.
ii. He was asking permission to say goodbye to his family.
b. Beneath the surface:
i. He meant something else/
ii. He found it hard to leave all to follow the Lord.
iii. This was a polite way of saying that he was not ready to follow the Lord.
4. The reply of the Lord Jesus.
“But Jesus said to him, ‘No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.’”
Luke 9:62
a. Putting one’s hand on the plow.
i. This was an agrarian term.
ii. It is a reference to working on the field using a plow (plough).
iii. The person who plows knows that it is vital to keep his eyes on his work.
iv. If he is distracted, he will not be able to plow a straight line.
b. Looking back:
i. This was the problem with the would-be follower.
ii. His heart was divided and thus he cannot concentrate on following the Lord Jesus.
iii. His family matters so much that he cannot stay totally focused.
c. “Fit for the kingdom of God”
i. The kingdom of God is worthy of our full concentration.
ii. To look back and to long for worldly things would render us unfit to become true and faithful followers of the Lord Jesus Christ.
经文:路加福音 9:61-62
另一个可能的跟从者
1.还有另一个人要跟从主耶稣
2.这是他对主说的话
“主,我要跟从你,但容我先去辞别我家里的人。”
《路加福音 9:61》
3.他是什么意思?
a.表面上:
i.他表示愿意跟从主耶稣
ii.他请求允许与家人道別
b.私底下:
i.他有另外的意思
ii.他捨不得放下所有去跟从主
iii.这是一种礼貌的说法,表示他还没有准备好去跟从主
4. 主的回答
“手扶着犁向后看的,不配进神的国。”
《路加福音 9:62》
