1-13節--宗教或救恩？

馬可福音 第7章

耶路撒冷與加利利相距超過115公里；可是，有些法利賽人卻不惜遠道而來，為的只是攻擊耶穌。法利賽人雖然相信神，但他們卻在神頒布的律法以外，制定了許多繁文縟節，要求眾人去遵守。他們相信，他們只要做足這些表面的工夫，就能贏得神的稱讚。因此，他們只關注外表的禮儀守則，卻沒有留意自己的內心是否與神和好。

有人以為自己一生謹言慎行，就必能得著神的喜悅；但其實神的心意，卻是渴望人能夠全心全意地去愛祂和敬拜祂。這種誤解實在令人感到可悲。

由於法利賽人在神頒布的律法以外，加添了很多新的規條，因此，他們的規條至終便取代了神的律法。基督指出他們如何虧待父母，就是一個明確的事例。(9節)

基督只想破除法利賽人所制定的種種人為法則，幫助百姓明白到，他們只需要遵從神的教導，並與神建立和好的關係，就能討神的喜悅。基督經常教導人說，神最想與人相交，不希望我們與祂之間被罪所阻隔。

但法利賽人卻認為，人若不遵守他們的規則，就是犯罪。他們所關注的是人的行為。然而，基督卻指出，罪是關乎我們內心的污穢──那不是我們雙手表面所看到的污垢，而是隱藏在內心深處的罪污。

你明白到兩者的分別嗎？宗教只是關注我們的行為，然而，救恩卻是要處理我們心中的罪，而只有神才能為我們徹底清除罪污。

「怎能洗去我的罪？

只有靠耶穌寶血。

怎能使我變得完全？

只有靠耶穌寶血。」

「我們若認自己的罪…神必要赦免我們的罪。」約翰壹書一章9節

FAITH TESTED BUT TRIUMPHANT
BIBLE READING: Mark 7:1-13

It is over 115 kms from Jerusalem to Galilee. Yet some of the Pharisees walked that distance just to criticise Jesus. The Pharisees were a group of men who, while they were believed in God, made a great many more laws or rules than God ever gave to his people. They thought that by doing certain things they scored points with God. All they cared about were outward things. But their hearts were not right with God.

It is tragic when men or women go through life doing things which they think will pleased God when all the time God is looking for the love and worship of their hearts.

Because the Pharisees had added so many rules of their own to the law which God had given, their rules had taken the place of Gods law. Christ mentioned this when pointing out what they had done to the commandment regarding parents (v.9).

Christ wanted to cut through their man-made rules and help people see the need of obeying God and having a right relationship with him. Christ always taught that God wants our fellowship, with no sin between us and him.

The Pharisees thought sin was a failure to keep their rules. It was something on the outside of a person. But Christ said sin is in the heart. It is not just common dirt on our hands, but the stain of sin deep within our hearts.

Do you understand the difference? Religion is only something we do. Salvation is something which deals with the heart and only God can do that.

What can wash away my sin?

Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

What can make me whole again?

Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

A VERSE FOR TODAY:

If we confess our sins he [God] will forgive our sins. - 1 John 1:9
