标 题： 以圣经为定位
经 节： “但这事成就，为要应验经上的话。”门徒都离开祂，逃走了。（马可福音十四章49下～50节）
有时候，在你生命最黑暗的日子，你唯一的安慰可能来自神的一句话。当耶稣面对冷酷、不公平、充满敌意的世界，祂最深的痛苦也许是亲密朋友的背叛和离弃。在如此黑暗的时刻，是什么力量支撑着祂？耶稣在经文中得到安慰（马太福音廿六：20～25、31）。圣经对救世主有全盘性的记载，这记载坚定祂的经历是依照天父的计画。耶稣满怀信心继续进行手上的工，因为圣经保证祂天父绝对掌权。
神的话语会以同样的方式指引你。有时候，也许周遭环境令你困惑，你所信任的人背叛你，其他人抛弃你，你可能被误解或被挑毛病。这些悲痛的时刻，是你的奉献和顺服所面对的最大考验，在这些时候，你一定要让圣经引导你及安慰你。千万不要让其他人的不忠诚，影响你手中的工。回到圣经，让经文指引你对准神与神的工作。
耶稣在年少的时候，早就熟读经文。发生任何事件都不会让祂措手不及，祂满怀信心，因为圣经已使祂预备好面对将来的每一件事。
如果你每天埋首研究神的话语，当危机来临时，你不会因疏失而怠忽职守。你已经专注在神的身上，祂会保守、引导你经历这段困难时期。
Oriented
by the Scriptures
“But
the Scriptures must be fulfilled.” Then they all forsook Him and fled.
(Mark 14:49b-50)
There are times when, in the darkest
moments of your life, the only comfort left for you is a word from God. Jesus
faced the cruel injustice of a hostile world, but perhaps His deepest pain came
when His closest friends deserted and betrayed Him. What could possibly sustain
Him at such a dark moment? Jesus found His comfort in the Scriptures (Matt.
26:20–25, 31). The Scriptures kept everything in perspective for the Savior,
holding Him steadfast in the knowledge that everything He was experiencing was
according to His Father’s plan. Jesus could proceed with confidence because the
Scriptures assured Him that the Father was in control.
The word of God will guide you in the same
way. There will be times when events around you will confuse you. Those in whom
you’ve placed your trust will fail you. Others will abandon you. You will be
misunderstood and criticized. In these times of distress, when your devotion
and obedience are put to the greatest test, you must let Scripture guide and
comfort you. Never let the faithlessness of others determine what you do. Turn to
the Scriptures and allow them to reorient you to God and His activity.
Even as a young boy, Jesus was already
well acquainted with the Scriptures. He was never surprised by events; He lived
with confidence because the Scriptures had prepared Him for everything that He
would face.
If you will immerse yourself daily in the
word of God, you will not be caught off guard when crises come. Your focus will
already be on God, and He will safely guide you through your difficult moments.
