My Song In The Night (Gospel of John)
我夜间的歌曲 (约翰福音)
A Strong and Clear Answer
Text: John 6: 68-71
A STRONG AND CLEAR ANSWER
Simon Peter rose up to speak on behalf of the Twelve. Peter’s reply was strong and clear.
“But Simon Peter answered Him, ‘Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. Also we have come to believe and know that You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.’ Jesus answered them, ‘Did I not choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil?’ He spoke of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, for it was he who would betray Him, being one of the twelve.”
John 6:68-71
1. Peter’s statement
a) It was a good statement of faith.
b) He spoke on behalf of the twelve.
c) The following things may be noted:
i) He had understood what Jesus had taught about the Bread of God.
ii) He believed that the words of Jesus lead to eternal life.
iii) He was certain that Jesus was indeed the Son of the living God.
iv) He was none other than the Christ- the promised Messiah, anointed by God.
b) Based on this statement of faith
i) The twelve would not depart from following Jesus.
ii) The departure of many did not affect them in their determination of following Jesus.
2. The unspoken response of the Lord Jesus Christ
a) Of course, He was pleased with what Peter had declared.
b) The disciples who chose to stay on were given to Him by His Father.
c) They had been taught by the Father.
d) They had understood His hard sayings but they had found eternal life and they intended to keep learning and growing as His disciples
3. A spoken sad remark
a) Jesus knew that of the Twelve one was in fact “a devil”, though he was privileged to be chosen.
b) He was speaking of Judas Iscariot who would one day betray Him.
经文:约翰福音6:68-71
坚决又清楚的回应
西门彼得代表了十二门徒发言。彼得的回答坚决又清楚。
“西门彼得回答说:‘主啊,你有永生之道,我们还归从谁呢?我们已经信了,又知道你是神的圣者。’ 耶稣说:‘我不是拣选了你们十二个门徒吗?但你们中间有一个是魔鬼。’耶稣这话是指着加略人西门的儿子犹大说的,他本是十二个门徒里的一个,后来要卖耶稣的。”
《约翰福音6:68-71》
1. 彼得的供词
a) 这是个富有信心的供词
b) 他代表十二门徒说了这番话
c) 我们可以留意以下几点:
i) 他明白耶稣教他们关于上帝所赐的粮的教训
ii) 他相信耶稣的话语是永生之道
iii) 他确信耶稣就是永生上帝的儿子
iv) 耶稣就是基督 – 上帝所膏的弥赛亚
d) 凭着这信心的供词
i) 十二门徒会继续与耶稣同行
ii) 众人的离开并没有影响他们跟随耶稣的决心
2. 耶稣潜在内心的反应
a) 祂当然对彼得所表明的感到喜悦
b) 选择留下来的门徒是上帝赐给祂的
c) 他们是被天父教导
d) 他们明白耶稣甚难的话,不过他们找到了永生而他们想要以门徒的身份继续地学习与成长
3. 伤心的一言
a) 虽然十二门徒当中的这个人也很荣幸地被拣选,但耶稣知道这个人其实是“魔鬼”
b) 祂指的是有一天会背叛祂的犹大
“西门彼得回答说:‘主啊,你有永生之道,我们还归从谁呢?我们已经信了,又知道你是神的圣者。’ 耶稣说:‘我不是拣选了你们十二个门徒吗?但你们中间有一个是魔鬼。’耶稣这话是指着加略人西门的儿子犹大说的,他本是十二个门徒里的一个,后来要卖耶稣的。”
