标 题:没有不可能的事
经 节:因为,出于神的话,没有一句不带能力的。(路加福音一章37节)
天使加百列告诉马利亚,神正计划要做一件人类所办不到的事。所有人类的逻辑思维,会同意童贞女不可能生子。这是不可能的事!然而,这正是当时所发生的事。当神提及那些不可能的事,那就不再是荒诞不稽的事了。上一回,神在你身上行不可能的事,是哪个时候呢?最近一回,神对你说明祂要交付你的事,是哪个时候?而你被这整件事吓坏了?
神仍然行那些不可能的事!我们常常承认自己相信神的大能足以实现任何事,然而,我们加了一条但是:[但是,我不相信神会做在我的身上!]我们变成现实的神学家,我们相信神可以行神迹,但是不认为自己的生活会有神迹出现。
神要把救恩带给全人类。马利亚相信神能行神迹固然重要,但她能调整自己的生活,好配合神的计划,更是重要的一环。基督徒与卫道人士的不同之处,在于有神圣的神。教会与社区俱乐部的不同之处,在于神迹。有些人的言行有基督徒的道德标准,然而,没有人能够拥有像基督徒所经历的奇迹。你相信在神凡事都能吗?
Nothing Will Be Impossible
“For with God nothing will be
impossible.” (Luke
1:37)
The
angel Gabriel told Mary that God was planning to do something humanly
impossible. All human logic would agree that a virgin could not give birth to a
child. It was impossible. Yet this is exactly what was to happen. When God
speaks of doing the impossible, it is no longer absurd. When was the last time
God did the impossible in your life? When was the last time God spoke to you
about what He wanted to do and you were scared to death by its magnitude?
God
still does the impossible! Too often we acknowledge our belief that God can do
whatever He wants, then we add a safety clause: “But I just don’t think God
will do that with me!” We become practical atheists, believing that God can
perform miracles but never expecting a miracle in our own lives.
God
wanted to bring salvation to all of humanity. It is critical that Mary not only
believed God could perform a miracle but also adjusted her life to the awesome
work He planned to do through her. The difference between a Christian and a
moral person is the divine. The difference between a church and a social club
is the miraculous. Some can duplicate the morality of a Christian, but no one
can reproduce the miraculous that should be a part of the Christian experience.
Do you believe that nothing is impossible for God?
