1-12節--神的作為

使徒行傳 第1章

研讀使徒行傳，實在令人深受激勵。當中所記述的事件，只是神在短短三、四十年之間的作為。我們要記著，神是永不改變的，祂在昔日能夠成就的事，祂在今天也可以重覆一遍。

使徒行傳與路加福音有幾項共通點：它們都是出於路加的手筆，都是獻給一個名叫提阿非羅的大人；而兩者的內容，亦同樣是關乎耶穌基督。所不同者，是路加福音記述了耶穌由降生，一直至到受死和復活的過程。至於使徒行傳，則是記述耶穌在升天之後，由聖靈和教會接續祂在地上的工作。

我們今天選讀的經文，分別在第2、9、11和22節提到基督升天。祂此刻升到天上的身體，當然是那復活後得了榮耀的身體；可是，祂的身體可能還帶著加略山上被羞辱和被釘十架的標記。將來我們到了天上，發現那惟一帶有釘痕的身體，可能就是主基督了。

基督在升天前的六週，曾經把祂的計劃告訴門徒，並且囑咐他們在祂升天以後要做些甚麼。祂鄭重提出了兩個事實：

門徒將要作祂的見證。

他們不是靠著自己的力量去作見證，而是要靠著聖靈的能力去作見證。

聖靈終於在五旬節降臨在使徒的身上，他們因而出現了非常奇妙的改變。除了是聖靈的能力藉著使徒工作之外，實難再找出其他原因去解釋他們向群眾講道後，怎麼會產生如此驚人的效果。

昔日的群眾，在使徒身上看見了聖靈的能力、勇氣、生命力和──可能是最重要的──愛心。試問今天的世人，能否在我們的教會或我們的生命中，同樣看見聖靈的工作呢？禱告：親愛的主耶穌，求你幫助我，使我每天都懂得順服聖靈在我身上的工作。

A STORY OF WHAT GOD CAN DO

Reading the book of Acts can be wonderfully encouraging. It is a story of what God can do in just one generation (30 to 40 years). If God could do so much then, remember he is still the same today, and can do it all again.

This is the second book written by Luke. The first one is the gospel of Luke. In both books we have the same writer, the same reader (Theophilus) and the same subject, Jesus Christ. In the first book, Jesus comes down to earth to work and to die here. In the second book, he goes back to heaven but continues his work on earth through the Holy Spirit and the church.

The ascension of Christ is mentioned four times in this chapter in verses 2, 9, 11 and 22. He was ‘taken up’ in his physical body and has that body in heaven now. It is his resurrected, glorified body of course, but it still bears the marks and scars of Calvary. It is possible that the only body which will have scars in heaven is his body. Did you ever think of that?

In the six weeks before he went back to heaven, Christ gave to the disciples his program and told them what he wanted them to do after he was gone. He emphasised two facts:

1. The disciples would be his witnesses.

2. This would not be in their own power, but that of the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit came on the day of Pentecost and what a wonderful difference his coming made in the disciples. There is no other way to explain the marvellous results of the apostles’ preaching. It was the power of the Holy Spirit working through them.

And that is what the world saw – the Holy Spirit giving them strength, power and courage and perhaps most of all, love. Can the world see anything like that in our church or in our lives today?

PRAYER:

Lord Jesus, help me to learn how to let your Holy Spirit do his work in me each day.
