13-26節--門徒的改變

使徒行傳 第1章

當基督離開了門徒升天之後，門徒有甚麼表現呢？在過去的六個星期，他們與復活了的基督有促膝長談的機會，但基督已經離去，他們又將何去何從？今天的經文便把門徒身上的一些奇妙經歷告訴我們。

首先，他們都聽從基督給他們的最後囑咐(見第4節)。當基督升天之後，他們大可以互相道別，然後各自歸家；可是，他們並沒有這樣做，反而聽從基督的吩咐，留在耶路撒冷繼續等候。

第二，他們專心等候那位應許中的聖靈。他們知道自己太軟弱，根本無法獨力去做任何事情。基督雖然沒有告訴他們要等多久，但他們都願意聽從基督的吩咐去等候。他們沒有等不及神便馬上行動，也沒有嘗試憑藉己力去做任何事情。

第三，他們同心合意地一起禱告。在等候期間，他們如何打發時間？他們一起禱告。這時離開聖靈降臨還有十天的時間，在等候期間，他們都願意以禱告來準備自己。

第四，他們一起學習聖經，亦表現出對聖經的尊重。復活後的耶穌曾多次向門徒顯現，並藉機向他們講解舊約的道理，那是他們過往並不明白的。如今，他們學會了從神的話語來看每件事物；他們看到猶大的結局，為他感到難過，因為他們畢竟是朋友，過去三年更是一起生活，但他的錯誤抉擇卻把自己送上死路。透過猶大的悲慘結果，門徒更清楚知道自己該聽從神的話語而行。

第五，門徒藉著禱告，把他們的問題與決定帶到主的面前。他們先想出兩個最佳的人選，來接替猶大丟棄的使徒位分，然後便告求主說：「主啊，求你向我們顯明，你最後揀選誰人。」結果，神向他們顯明了祂的心意。

透過以上所勾劃的圖畫，我們豈不看見一幅門徒的美麗寫照？他們都忠心地聽從主的吩咐，一起等候祈禱，一起學習聖經，而且，無論作任何事，他們都尋求主的引導。難怪他們最終得著聖靈的充滿，和被聖靈大大使用了。

WHAT WERE THE DISCIPLES LIKE?

What were the disciples like after Christ left them? They had talked with the risen Christ for six weeks, but now he was gone. How would they behave now? Their story is wonderful and some of it is told to us in this chapter.

Firstly they were obedient to Christ’s words (see verse 4). Left to themselves, they could have separated and gone back to their homes. But Christ had said ‘stay in Jerusalem’ and they did what he had told them.

Secondly, they were to wait for the promised Holy Spirit. They were too weak to act alone. They were not told how long they would have to wait, but again they did what Christ had told them to do. They did not run ahead of God, nor did they try to do anything in their own strength.

Thirdly, they were united in prayer. How did they spend the waiting time? In united prayer. There were ten days of preparation for the Holy Spirit’s coming and they spend the whole time in prayer.

Fourthly, they knew and honoured the Bible. Jesus had helped them to see many things in the Old Testament which they hadn’t understood before. Now they saw everything in the light of God’s Word. They were sad and sorry about Judas; he had been their friend for over three years. Now he was gone for ever from them. But they knew what they had to do, because their guidance came from God’s Word.

Fifthly, they brought their problem and the decision they had to make to the Lord in prayer. They chose the two best men they could think of, then they said, ‘Now Lord you make the final decision not us!’ And God told them what his will was.

Isn’t that a wonderful picture of these disciples? They were obedient, they spent time in prayer, they knew their Bible and they looked to the Lord for guidance. Is it any wonder that God the Holy Spirit was able to fill and use them as he did?
