1-10節--釋除憂傷

約翰福音 第14章

只有這少數十二個人，才有機會聽到基督這番語重深長的最後訓誨，真是有點兒可惜。門徒已感到基督好像快要離開他們，但基督卻早已知道他們的憂慮，於是，祂的一番說話便直接說中他們的心聲。祂對他們說：「我雖然快要離去，但即使我不在你們的身邊，我仍然希望你們繼續相信我，正如你們的列祖相信神一樣。我只是暫時離去，將來我還要回來，那時便要永遠與你們在一起了。」

今天，基督仍然對我們發出這個呼籲：我們即使不能親眼看見祂，但仍要繼續信靠祂。基督還告訴門徒，天堂確實存在，而祂也確實會再來。基督亦期望我們繼續相信這兩個應許。我們雖看不見天堂，但基督告訴我們，天堂有許多住處，它將是信徒永久的居所。我們相信天堂的存在，因為是基督親口告訴我們的，而神的話語已一再地證明基督的應許真實。

而且，我們還盼望基督的再來，因為這也是基督給我們的應許。祂曾經許下其他的應許，祂都如實地兌現了，例如，祂說祂會在第三天從死裡復活，而祂確實在那天復活了。祂說祂要建立教會，而祂也確實辦到了。因此祂說祂要再來，我們便相信祂必定再來。倘若祂給我們三個應許，已應驗了兩個，祂豈不會兌現第三個嗎？

基督的話，正好為這班士氣低落的門徒帶來鼓舞和盼望。今天，祂的話同樣要鼓勵我們。我們雖不能親眼看見祂，仍要學習每天信靠祂。切記著，當信徒走完今生的路程，下一步便是回到天家。基督若在我們活著的時候再來，我們便可以立即與祂同在，直至永遠。還有甚麼盼望比這更值得我們嚮往呢？

反思：

只要我們專心信靠基督，我們就會發現，我們生命中無論是現在和將來的一切，都已有基督為我們精心安排。

也不敢孤身走自己的路；

因祂已安排最好的道路，

祂更會親自陪同作嚮導。

祂容許路途出現的危難，

遠比我們所恐懼的輕鬆；

「困難必有出路」這應許，

正是助我勇往直前的武器。

牢記：

因祂已安排最好的道路，

祂更會親自陪同作嚮導。

THE CURE FOR REAL HEART TROUBLE
BIBLE READING: John 14: 1 – 10

It was a sad little group that listened to these final intimate words of Christ. They sensed he was leaving them. But Christ was speaking to their hearts. ‘I am going away, but even if I am not here, I want you to trust me, even as you trust in the God of your fathers. I am going away but I will return and then we will be together for ever.’

That challenge to believe in him remains today. Christ is still asking us to trust him even if we cannot see him. He also spoke of the reality of heaven and the reality of his return. Here again Christ asks us to trust him. We cannot see heaven, but Christ tells us it is a real place, an abiding city, and most of all our final home. We believe in it because he said so and the Word of God constantly confirms it.

Then too, we look forward to Christ’s return. Again this is because he promised it. He made other promises and he has kept them. He said he would rise again on the third day and he did. He said he would build his church and he has done that. He said he would come again and we believe he will. If he has fulfilled two out of three promises, won’t he fulfil the third?

Here are the challenges and the hopes Christ held out to his discouraged disciples. They are still his words to us today. Trust him day by day even if you cannot see him. Remember heaven is at the end of believer’s life. If Christ returns before we die, we will still be with him forever. What greater future could we have?

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:

When our hearts are fixed on Christ, our future as well as our present is wonderfully taken care of.
