標　　題： 當基督下達命令時

經　　節： 耶穌就打發兩個門徒，對他們說：「你們進城去……」（馬可福音十四章13節）

這兩個門徒得到極詳細的指示，去某個城市、見某個人、做一件特定的事。這個人擁有一座擺設整齊的大樓，預備好要守逾越節。他們的主所給的指示似乎很不尋常，然而，這兩個門徒順服了，於是他們發現每件事的發生，就像耶穌所說的一模一樣。耶穌清楚地知道他們會發現甚麼，祂精確地指示他們。門徒能夠享受與老師同在的難忘、重要及珍貴的時刻，乃是取決於那兩個門徒的順服。

順服基督的命令總是會看到事情的成就。當神賜下指示，你要立即順服。不要等自己搞清楚整件事的來龍去脈，你才動手。神領你所做的事，有時你不完全瞭解，直到做了之後才明白。當祂第一次給你指示，通常很少完全透露祂旨意的細節。祂會給你足夠的信息，叫你能開始運行祂的旨意，但祂也扣留一些信息，好讓你能繼續倚靠祂的指引。你的反應會影響神在你生命中下一步的作為。你的順服也會影響你周圍的人去經歷基督。如果你的生命中有任何神的指示，是你尚未遵循的，要立即順服，你會看到自己的生命中展現出神完美的計劃。

When Christ Gives a Command

And He sent out two of His disciples and said to them, "Go into the city. . ." (Mark 14:13)

The two disciples were given very detailed instructions to go to a certain town and look for a particular man performing a specific task. He would have a large room, furnished and ready to observe the Passover. These instructions might have seemed unusual had it not been their Lord speaking, but the two disciples obeyed and found everything just as Jesus had said. Jesus knew exactly what they would find, and so He guided them specifically. One of the most memorable and precious times the disciples would spend with their Teacher hinged on the obedience of these two.

Obedience to Christ’s commands always brings fulfillment. When the Lord gives you instructions, obey immediately. Don’t wait until you have figured it all out and everything makes perfect sense to you. Sometimes God will lead you to do things that you will not fully understand until after you have done them. He does not usually reveal all the details of His will when He first speaks to you. Instead, He tells you enough so you can implement what He has said, but He withholds enough information so that you must continue to rely upon His guidance. Your response will affect what God does next in your life. Your obedience may affect how others around you experience Christ as well. If there is any directive God has given you that you have not obeyed, obey that word immediately and watch God’s perfect plan unfold in your life.
