標  題: 真理是祂

經  節: 門徒來叫醒了祂,說:「夫子!夫子!我們喪命啦!」耶穌醒了,斥責那狂風大浪;風浪就止住,平靜了。耶穌對他們說:「你們的信心在哪裡呢?」(路加福音八章2425節上)

真理是有位格的,它不是一種觀念。耶穌說祂是真理(約翰福音十四:6)。也就是說,除非能先聽從耶穌,你永遠不會瞭解自己的真實處境。門徒以為自己快要喪命在暴風雨之中。他們是漁夫,所以瞭解海洋,也清楚自己的處境。他們觀看四周的環境,相信自己快要喪命的「真理」。但是他們錯了,真理就睡在他們的船尾!

因為門徒中有些人是漁夫,他們寧願相信自己專業知識的判斷與智慧,卻沒有認清只有耶穌知道他們真正的處境。有時候,人類在生活某方面的知識使我們盲目,對自己極度渴望聽到真理的需要,竟然視而不見。

當耶穌開口,門徒就看到自己真實的處境。風浪平靜了!門徒曾經眼見耶穌行過許多神跡,但是從未見識過祂的大能居然戰勝大自然。我們的反應常常很像門徒們。我們可能最近才經歷神大能的作為,過去也可能經歷過無數次的屬靈勝利。然而,當一個新的驚恐情況出現時,我們照樣極度恐慌地大叫:「主啊!救我!我受不了,要喪命啦!」這時,神會提醒我們祂的供應,說:「我照樣能控制整個情況,經過這件事,你將會更認識我。」

你是否以懼怕替換信心?如果你是如此,要有被神斥責的準備。


Truth Is a Person

And they came to Him and awoke Him, saying, "Master, Master, we are perishing!" Then He arose and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water. And they ceased, and there was a calm. But He said to them, "Where is your faith?" (Luke 8:24-25)

Truth is a Person, not a concept. Jesus said He was the Truth (John 14:6). That means that you can never know the truth of your circumstances unless you have first heard from Jesus. The disciples thought they were perishing in the storm. They were fishermen who knew the sea and knew what their condition was. They had allowed their circumstances to convince them that the “truth” was their imminent death. But they were wrong. Truth was asleep in the back of their boat!

Since some of the disciples were fishermen, they trusted in their own expertise and wisdom rather than recognizing that only Jesus knew the truth of their situation. At times, our human knowledge in certain areas of life can blind us to our desperate need to hear a word from Truth.

When Jesus spoke, the disciples saw the real truth of their situation. There was absolute calm. The disciples had seen Jesus perform other miracles, but they had not yet witnessed His power over nature in such a dimension. Often we are like the disciples. God may have recently demonstrated His power to us in a mighty way; we may have experienced many spiritual victories in the past. Yet, when a new and frightening situation comes upon us_we, too, panic and say, “Lord save me. I’m perishing!” God will remind us of His provision, saying, “I can handle this situation, too, and you will know more of Me because of it.”

Have you become fearful instead of faithful? If you have, prepare for the rebuke, for it will come.
