一路平安

轉載自《靈命日糧》2013年2月16日

讀經: 約翰二書1章1-11節

若有人到你們那裡，不是傳這教訓，不要接他到家裡，也不要問他的安。—約翰二書1章10節

在1962年，約翰•格倫創造了歷史，成為第一位環繞地球一周的美國人。當時在火箭升空時，地面控制中心對他說：「約翰•格倫，願上帝使你一路平安。」

使徒約翰曾在他的第二封書信中用過這句話：「若有人到你們那裡，不是傳這教訓，不要接他到家裡，也不要問他的安」（約翰二書1章10節）。當中的「問他的安」即「願上帝使他一路平安」之意。

約翰一直被人稱為「愛的使徒」，何以要求信徒在對人說祝福的話時，抱持警惕的態度？當時，四處傳揚福音的宣教士，仰賴各地的基督徒提供食宿。使徒約翰提醒信徒，聖經真理很重要。若這些宣教士所傳講的教義與眾使徒所教導的不一致，信徒就不要支持他們的事工，不要提供住宿或財務上的援助。

這原則也適用於今日的信徒。我們以恩慈待人，因為上帝以恩慈待我們。當有人要求我們資助一項事工時，我們必須求上帝賜智慧來判斷。那引導人明白真理的靈（約翰福音16章13節）將會告訴我們，該不該支持他的事工。

主啊祢知我心，
我願祢國昌盛；
求祢賜我智慧，
好讓使命達成。

聖靈藉著聖經，使人辨明真理或謬誤。

Godspeed!

Read: 2 John 1:1-11

If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your house nor greet him. —2 John 1:10

In 1962, John Glenn made history as the first American to orbit the Earth. As the rocket ascended, ground control said, “Godspeed, John Glenn.” “Godspeed” comes from the expression, “May God prosper you.”

Though we don’t often hear this word today, the apostle John used it in his second epistle: “If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him Godspeed” (2 John 1:10 kjv).

John has been referred to as “the apostle of love,” so why would he warn believers against pronouncing a blessing on others? Traveling evangelists were dependent on the hospitality of Christians to provide them with room and board. John was telling the believers that biblical truth is important. If itinerant missionaries were not preaching doctrine consistent with apostolic teaching, believers were not to bless their work by providing lodging or financial assistance.

This is also true for believers today. We are to treat everyone with kindness because God is kind to us. But when asked to financially support an endeavor, it’s important to always ask Him for wisdom. The Spirit who guides us into truth (John 16:13) will show us when it is appropriate to bid Godspeed to those we encounter.

Dear Lord, You know my heart.
I love You and want Your kingdom to prosper.
Give me Your wisdom to know where You want me to take part and how.
Thank You.

Gods Spirit through His Word gives wisdom to discern truth from error.
