标 题: 当基督下达命令时
经 节: 耶稣就打发两个门徒,对他们说:“你们进城去……”(马可福音十四章13节)
这两个门徒得到极详细的指示,去某个城市、见某个人、做一件特定的事。这个人拥有一座摆设整齐的大楼,预备好要守逾越节。他们的主所给的指示似乎很不寻常,然而,这两个门徒顺服了,于是他们发现每件事的发生,就像耶稣所说的一模一样。耶稣清楚地知道他们会发现什么,祂精确地指示他们。门徒能够享受与老师同在的难忘、重要及珍贵的时刻,乃是取决于那两个门徒的顺服。
顺服基督的命令总是会看到事情的成就。当神赐下指示,你要立即顺服。不要等自己搞清楚整件事的来龙去脉,你才动手。神领你所做的事,有时你不完全了解,直到做了之后才明白。当祂第一次给你指示,通常很少完全透露祂旨意的细节。祂会给你足够的信息,叫你能开始运行祂的旨意,但祂也扣留一些信息,好让你能继续倚靠祂的指引。你的反应会影响神在你生命中下一步的作为。你的顺服也会影响你周围的人去经历基督。如果你的生命中有任何神的指示,是你尚未遵循的,要立即顺服,你会看到自己的生命中展现出神完美的计划。
When
Christ Gives a Command
And
He sent out two of His disciples and said to them, “Go into the city. .
.” (Mark 14:13)
The two disciples were given very detailed
instructions to go to a certain town and look for a particular man performing a
specific task. He would have a large room, furnished and ready to observe the
Passover. These instructions might have seemed unusual had it not been their
Lord speaking, but the two disciples obeyed and found everything just as Jesus
had said. Jesus knew exactly what they would find, and so He guided them
specifically. One of the most memorable and precious times the disciples would
spend with their Teacher hinged on the obedience of these two.
Obedience to Christ’s commands always
brings fulfillment. When the Lord gives you instructions, obey immediately.
Don’t wait until you have figured it all out and everything makes perfect sense
to you. Sometimes God will lead you to do things that you will not fully
understand until after you have done them. He does not usually reveal all the
details of His will when He first speaks to you. Instead, He tells you enough
so you can implement what He has said, but He withholds enough information so
that you must continue to rely upon His guidance. Your response will affect
what God does next in your life. Your obedience may affect how others around
you experience Christ as well. If there is any directive God has given you that
you have not obeyed, obey that word immediately and watch God’s perfect plan
unfold in your life.
