1-12節--聖靈降臨

使徒行傳 第2章

你能否想像，那一百二十位一直在禱告中等候的門徒，在聖靈降臨的那個早上會是何等的興奮嗎？他們已得著基督的應許，知道聖靈將會降臨。你想，他們是否在每天起來，第一件事就是彼此對問：聖靈會在今天降臨嗎？

那天早上，他們一如往常地一起禱告；但突然之間，一陣奇怪的響聲在他們耳邊響起──原來聖靈真是照基督的應許降臨了！

對門徒來說，這是一個奇怪的經歷；而且，從許多方面來看，這樣的經歷也是空前絕後的。在教會歷史中，縱然也曾因為聖靈獨特地降臨在某個群體中間，而出現過不少次大復興，但類似這段經文所記載的經歷卻是絕無僅有的。我們今天也不能要求神在我們身上做同樣的工作，因為聖靈如今已住在每位信徒的心中。

群眾先聽見一陣大風吹過的響聲，接著又聽見門徒用不同的方言來說話，他們都感到十分好奇，想知道有甚麼事情發生。彼得抓緊機會向群眾解說，結果，他講了一篇動人的講章，而且，第40 節還告訴我們，他更作了很多見證。

帶來甚麼結果呢？結果就是：在個多月前曾經要把基督釘十架的群眾，此刻醒覺到自己犯下彌天大罪。究竟是誰指出他們的罪？說話的人當然是彼得；然而，卻是聖靈的大能叫人知罪。你記得基督曾經怎樣論及聖靈的工作嗎？「他[聖靈]既來了，就要叫世人為罪…自己責備自己…是因他們不信我」(約十六8-9)。聖靈正是在這天來到世人中間，叫人知道自己有罪。

我們向別人傳福音的時候，是否感到自己的言語空泛、軟弱無力？是否因為我們沒有祈求聖靈親自在人的心中工作？我們是否以為自已可取代聖靈的工作？其實，只有聖靈可以真正向人的內心說話，使人醒覺自己的罪和認識耶穌基督；因此，我們傳福音的時候，務必要祈求和仰賴聖靈的工作。反思：當我們禱告的時候，神便會藉著聖靈進行祂的工作。

THE DAY: THE HOLY SPIRIT CAME

Can you picture the 120 disciples on the morning of the day when the Holy Spirit came? They had the promise of Christ that the Holy Spirit would come. Did they say to each other each morning ‘Is today the day’?

They had met together for prayer that morning as they usually did. Then suddenly a strange sound was heard. It was the Holy Spirit coming to them as Christ had promised.

It was a strange experience for the disciples. In many ways it has never been repeated although in some mighty revivals during the history of the church, the Spirit of God has come upon a group of people in a special way and the results have been remarkable. That is not something we should demand God to do for us now. The Holy Spirit is here and lives today in every believer.

The crowds who heard the noise of the wind and heard the disciples speaking in different languages wanted to know what was happening. Peter took the opportunity to explain, and in doing so, he preached a wonderful sermon. But v. 40 tells us that he said many other things too on that wonderful day.

What were the results? Those who six or seven weeks before had put Christ to death, now felt the terrible guilt of what they had done. Who had spoken to them? Peter of course, but behind Peter’s words was the marvellous power of the Holy Spirit. Do you remember what Christ had said about the Holy Spirit? ‘When he is come, he will convict the world of sin, because they did not believe in me.’ That was what happened that day. The Holy Spirit convicted men and women of their sin.

Do our words seem empty and powerless at times? Is it because we are not asking the Holy Spirit to do his work? Are we trying to do his work for him? He is the only one who can really speak to hearts about sin and about Christ. Why not make sure we ask him and we allow him to do the work he came to do?

A THOUGHT:

God works by his Spirit when we pray.
