11-19節--基督為門徒禱告

約翰福音 第17章

基督徒在現實生活中的一個最大難題，就是如何面對周遭世界那些敵擋基督的人。除此以外，還加上撒但不斷的試探我們，務求使我們跌倒，因此，我們逐漸明白到，我們需要時刻祈求神的「保守」。

在這篇禱文中，我們看見基督為門徒代求的，正是得蒙神的保守。祂分別在第11和15節兩次祈求神保守他們。祂沒有求神立即把他們帶離這個世界，反之，祂祈求神在這個罪惡世界中親自保守他們。

神究竟有沒有應允基督的禱告呢？我們都知道，就在同一個晚上，全部門徒都逃竄四散，而彼得更三次不認祂。但後來又怎樣呢？當基督從死裡復活之後，除了出賣基督的猶大之外，所有門徒都再次立志跟隨基督，甚至要犧牲性命，對基督也再不離不棄。

怎麼會有如此重大的轉變呢？答案是神親自保守了他們。他們縱然失信，但神仍是信實的，祂沒有離棄他們，也不會把他們丟棄。神今天也是這樣待我們。請翻閱約翰福音十章27至29節，基督的話是絕不落空的；當我們信心動搖的時候，願這段經文成為我們的扶持和激勵。

基督還有另一項祈求。祂祈求神用祂的話語來祝福和引導門徒(參第7節)。這項祈求同樣適用於我們今天。神要使用祂的話語──聖經──來扶立我們在信仰中成長。它是我們的靈糧，也是引導我們的亮光。

缺乏靈糧，我們的靈命便難以茁壯成長。試問我們是否每天都享用充足的靈糧，抑或只間中淺嘗？我們若忽視神的話語，我們將無法滿足神的心意，成為神所喜悅的人。

反思：

我將你的話藏在心裡，免得我得罪你。

CHRIST PRAYS FOR HIS DISCIPLES
BIBLE READING: John 17: 11- 19

One of our greatest problems as a Christian is simply living in a world of men and women who are totally against Christ. Add to that the fact that Satan is continually tempting us and trying to pull us down, and you will realise that one of our biggest needs is to be ‘kept’ by God day by day.

That is exactly what Christ asked for in his prayer for his disciples. He said it in verse 11 and again in verse 15. He did not ask that they should be taken right out of the world, but that God might keep them for himself here in this sinful world.

Did God answer this prayer? We all know how that same night all the disciples ran away and Peter denied him. Yet what happened? After Christ rose from the dead, all the disciples except Judas the betrayer were right there ready to follow Christ anywhere, even to death.

How did this come about? The answer is that God kept them for himself. Even though they proved faithless, God remained true to them and held on to them and would not let them go. He does exactly the same for us today. Turn to John 10: 27-29 and believe what it says. It will encourage and help you today.

Christ also asked for something else. He asked that God would use his own Word to bless and help and guide the disciples (see verse 17). Again it is still the same today. God wants to use his Word, the Bible, to help us grow in our Christian faith. It is food for our souls as well as guidance for our lives.

A good question for us all: How much soul-food do we take in each week? Is it daily bread or weekly feast? If we neglect God’s Word we will never become the kind of Christians he wants us to be.

A THOUGHT:

Thy Word have I hid in my heart, that I might not sin against thee.
