标 题： “这是我的爱子…你们要听祂。”
经 节： 说话之间，忽然有一朵光明的云彩遮盖他们，且有声音从云彩里出来，说：“这是我的爱子，我所喜悦的。你们要听祂！”（马太福音十七章5节）
彼得和其他门徒老是分心，没注视神。每当耶稣专注一件事，门徒似乎总是被其他事情吸引，分散了注意力。为了要帮助祂三位最亲密的门徒，更深了解那即将来临、被钉死于十字架的牺牲，耶稣带他们登上变像山。在那里，耶稣变成荣耀的形像。并且，历史上最伟大的两位神人──摩西和以利亚──也添加他们。然而，门徒们却睡着了！在历史上最深奥的其中一刻，门徒居然选择睡觉，却不与神子一同祈祷。当门徒睡醒，他们居然又分心。这回，彼得宣布了自己的计画，他要搭三座棚子。门徒比较关心自己能够为神做什么，却不关心神就要借着祂的爱子成就的救赎大工。最后，神挪走摩西和以利亚，只留下耶稣。神说：“这是我的爱子，我所喜悦的。你们要听祂！”我们在灵性的追求上很容易分心。你是否发觉自己关注每一件事物，就是不专注基督和祂的工？你是否急切地“做工”，却根本未搞清楚神的心意？天父是否需要挪去那些使你分心的人事物？你是否需要转眼定睛仰望耶稣？
“This Is My Beloved Son . . . Hear Him!”
While
he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them; and suddenly a
voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am
well pleased. Hear Him!” (Matthew 17:5)
Peter and the other disciples were
continually disoriented to God. While Jesus was concerned about one thing, it
seems that the disciples were always distracted by something else. In order to
help his three closest
disciples better
focus on His imminent sacrifice on the cross, Jesus took them up to the Mount
of Transfiguration. There, Jesus was transfigured into a glorious state and was
joined by Moses and Elijah, two of history’s mightiest men of God. The
disciples, however, were asleep! At one of the most profound moments in
history, the disciples were more interested in sleep than they were in praying
with the Son of God.
When the disciples awakened, they became
distracted again. This time, Peter announced his plans to build three
tabernacles. The disciples were more concerned with what they could do for God
than the incredible work of redemption God was about to accomplish through His
Son. Finally, God removed everything from the disciples’ sight but Jesus. “This
is My Beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him!”
It is so easy to become spiritually
distracted. Do you find yourself focusing on everything else but Christ and the
work He is doing around you? Are you so eager to “get to the work” that you
have not yet clearly heard what is on God’s heart? Does the Father need to
remove from your life those things that are proving to be a distraction to you?
Do you need to refocus on Jesus?
