俗話說:「家和萬事興。」與自己家中的兄弟姊妹、或是與教會主內家人一起敬拜神、讚美神、事奉神,那確是榮耀神的、是神所悅納的。然而,倘若家庭中兄弟姐妹有志一同,抗拒神福音的恩典又如何呢?
弟兄姊妹和睦同居雖然很好,卻不是我們所追求的終極目標,而是我們藉著信靠基督耶穌得到永遠生命所結出的果。因著基督耶穌,一家人都在主內都成了敬拜事奉神的祭司,從上頭而來的聖靈恩膏澆灌,散發悅人的芳香。那才是何等的美、何等的善。
建議討論:
- 「這好比那貴重的油澆在亞倫的頭上,流到胡須,又流到他的衣襟。」(133:2, 和合本)
思想:你認為有人會拒絕「貴重的油」澆在頭上嗎?為什麼?
- 「又好比黑門的甘露降在錫安山,因為在那裡有耶和華所命定的福,就是永遠的生命。」(133:3, 和合本)
思想:「甘露」有些什麼特點?與「永遠的生命」有怎樣的關連?
