17-25節--耶穌開始事奉

馬太福音 第4章

耶穌基督終於開始公開事奉，這實在是一個非常重要的時刻。祂首先開始公開講道，然後便呼召門徒來跟從祂。

耶穌基督所傳講的信息，與施洗約翰所傳講的一樣(參看三章1至2節)。我們今天要傳的也是同一個信息。可惜，我們並沒有好好履行這責任，向人傳講悔改之道。當然，人們可能會因著神的愛，或懼怕下地獄而相信神；但有些時候，他們卻要首先認識到自己是個罪人，和為罪痛悔，才會接受神的救恩。

耶穌去到任何地方都向人傳道，讓人明白神的話語和神的心意。在這方面，誰能比神的兒子親自去傳講神的旨意來得更稱職呢？耶穌經常對人說，是父差派祂來的。祂在首次公開講道中，便表明是神膏立祂去向窮人和有需要的人傳講福音(路四16-18)。

然而，耶穌知道當祂回到天上之後，祂需要有人來接續祂的事奉。因此，祂在地上工作的期間，祂便揀選一些人來跟從祂，藉著與祂一同生活和聽祂的教導，來預備承擔將來的使命。

耶穌沒有呼召那些顯赫的名人，反之，祂只是呼召像漁夫這類的平凡人。今天，耶穌同樣呼召專心順服祂的人來承擔祂的使命。

耶穌首先在祂成長的地方──加利利──開始事奉。據知在耶穌的時代，加利利的人口眾多，有超過200條村莊。而且差不多每條村莊都設有會堂，是村中老少聆聽神話語的地方。因此，在宗教領袖公然反對祂之前，這些會堂便為祂提供了方便之門，讓祂可以向眾人傳講天國的信息。

耶穌走遍各地，傳揚福音，又展示祂的醫治大能，治好各種疾病，所以祂的名聲很快便傳開。然而，耶穌最大的盼望，是醫治人的靈魂。這心願至今不變，我們可以做些甚麼，以致能達成祂的心願呢？

JESUS BEGINS HIS MINISTRY
BIBLE READING: Matthew 4:17-25

It must have been a great moment when Jesus Christ began his ministry. First he started preaching. Then he called his first disciples to follow him.

His message was the same as that of John the Baptist (see chapter 3:1, 2). It remains the same today. We do not preach the need of repentance as we should. Men and women can be drawn by the love of God or by fear of hell. But sometime they must realise their condition as sinners and express sorrow for their sin.

Jesus preached wherever he went. Preaching is making known Gods message and Gods Word. Who could do that better than the Son of God himself? He often said God had sent him. His first public statement was that God had anointed him to preach the gospel to the poor and needy (Luke 4:16-18).

However Jesus needed men who would carryon his ministry after he had gone back to heaven. He wanted them to be with him all through his time on earth so they would learn from him and from being with him night and day.

He did not call popular, important men, but ordinary fishermen and others. He still needs those who will give him their undivided obedience and attention.

Jesus began his ministry in the area where he had been brought up-Galilee. It is said that in the time of Jesus, Galilee was thickly populated and contained over 200 villages.

Probably in every village there was a synagogue, which was the teaching centre for young and old. Jesus found an open door for his message in these synagogues before the rulers started to turn against him.

News of his ministry spread through the whole land. He met the need of all who came. He showed his power by healing all kinds of illness. But his great desire was to heal peoples souls. That is still his greatest longing today. How can we help him fulfil this desire?
