標  題: 被試探卻安全穩妥

經  節: 主又說:「西門!西門!撒但想要得著你們,好篩你們像篩麥子一樣;但我已經為你祈求,叫你不至於失了信心。你回頭以後,要堅固你的弟兄。」(路加福音廿二章3132節)

耶穌深愛彼得。耶穌清楚地對他說:「西門!西門!撒但想要得著你們,好篩你們像篩麥子一樣;但我已經為你祈求,叫你不至於失了信心。你回頭以後,要堅固你的弟兄。」即使耶穌正面對迫在眉睫的拘捕與十字架的酷刑,祂仍然因為彼得將要跌倒,而花時間堅固彼得!祂保證撒但的影響力受神的限制。祂表達自己對彼得的信心,縱然彼得的信心會減少,但是他會克服,並且回頭堅固其他的弟兄。由於耶穌親自為彼得代禱,彼得可能會有短暫的失敗,但他最終是得勝的。

耶穌清楚知道你所面對的每一個試探與試煉,祂已經為你預備了一條出路(哥林多前書十:13)。祂正在為你代求,誠如當年祂為彼得代求一樣(羅馬書八:34;希伯來書七:25)。試探可能在你毫無準備之下攫取你,但耶穌已經在天父面前為你的行為代求。別忘了!試探不是罪。當你遇見試探,當立即轉向耶穌。祂會把你帶到天父面前,你會勝過試探,因為耶穌已經勝了你在世界所面對的一切(約翰一書四:4)。當你的試探因耶穌的代禱得堅固,你也能去堅固其他人。

如果你正在與試探搏鬥,耶穌現在正為你向天父代求。要堅定,振作起來!


Tested Yet Secure

And the Lord said, "Simon, Simon! Indeed, Satan has asked for you, that he may sift you as wheat. But I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to Me, strengthen your brothers." (Luke 22:31-32)

Jesus dearly loved Peter. Jesus spoke to him specifically and said, “Simon! Simon! Satan has made a request to sift all of you (plural) as wheat. But I have prayed for you (singular), that your faith will not fail. And when you (singular) have returned to Me, strengthen your brothers.” Even as Jesus faced His imminent arrest and crucifixion, He took time to strengthen Peter for what was to come! He assured him that God had set limits on Satan’s influence. He expressed His confidence that even though Peter’s faith would falter, he would overcome, to the point of strengthening others. Since Jesus Himself was interceding for Peter, Peter might fail for a moment, but his life would ultimately be victorious.

Jesus is fully aware of every temptation and test you will encounter, and He stands ready to deliver you_(1 Cor. 10:13). He intercedes for you just as He did for Peter (Rom. 8:34; Heb. 7:25). Temptation might catch you by surprise, but Jesus is already interceding with the Father on your behalf. Remember that temptation is not a sin. When you are tempted, turn immediately to Jesus. He will take you to the Father, and you will overcome the temptation, for Jesus has overcome everything you can face in the world (1 John 4:4). When you are tested and are secure in the intercession of Jesus, you, too, will be able to strengthen others. If you are grappling with temptation, Jesus is interceding for you with the Father even now. Be steadfast and encouraged!
