耶稣喂饱五千人 Jesus Feeds the Multitudes - an OmgziVersion


这事以後,耶稣渡过加利利海,就是提比哩亚海。( 约翰61 ) ( 马太1413 )
那时犹太人的逾越节近了 ( 约翰 64 )

使徒聚集到耶稣那里,将一切所做的事、所传的道全告诉他 ( 马可 630 )  
他就说:你们来,同我暗暗的到旷野地方去歇一歇。这是因为来往的人多,他们连吃饭也没有工夫。( 马可 631 )
耶稣就带他们暗暗的离开那里,( 马可 632 )  往一座城去;那城名叫伯赛大。( 路加 910b )

耶稣上了山,和门徒一同坐在那里( 约翰63 )
众人看见他们去,有许多认识他们的,就从各城步行,一同跑到那里,比他们先赶到了。( 马可 633 ) ( 约翰62 )
耶稣出来,见有许多的人,就怜悯他们,治好了他们的病人。(马太1414 ) 因为他们如同羊没有牧人一般,於是开口教训他们许多道理( 马可 634 ) ( 路加 911 )

天将晚的时候,门徒进前来,说:这是野地,时候已经过了,( 马可 635 )  请叫众人散开,他们好往村子里去,自己买吃的。(马太1415 ) ( 马可 636 ) ( 路加 912 )
耶稣说:不用他们去,你们给他们吃罢!(马太1416 ) ( 路加 913a )

耶稣对腓力说:我们从那里买饼叫这些人吃呢?( 约翰 65 )
他说这话是要试验腓力;他自己原知道要怎样行。( 约翰 66 )
腓力回答说:就是二十两银子的饼,叫他们各人吃一点也是不够的。( 约翰 67 ) ( 马可 637 ) ( 路加 913b )

耶稣说:你们有多少饼,可以去看看。 ( 马可 638a ) (马太1417a )
有一个门徒,就是西门彼得的兄弟安得烈,对耶稣说:( 约翰 68 )
在这里有一个孩童,带着五个大麦饼、两条鱼,只是分给这许多人还算甚麽呢?( 约翰 69 )
耶稣说:拿过来给我。(马太1418 )

耶稣吩咐他们,叫众人一帮一帮的坐在青草地上。( 马可 639 ) (马太1419a ) ( 约翰610a )
众人就一排一排的坐下,有一百一排的,有五十一排的。( 马可 640 ) ( 路加 914b-15)
耶稣拿着这五个饼,两条鱼,望着天祝福,擘开饼,递给门徒,摆在众人面前( 路加 916 ) 也把那两条鱼分给众人。( 马可641 ) (马太1419b )  都随着他们所要的。( 约翰611 )  

他们吃饱了,耶稣对门徒说:把剩下的零碎收拾起来,免得有糟蹋的。( 约翰612 )
他们便将那五个大麦饼的零碎,就是众人吃了剩下的,收拾起来,装满了十二个篮子。 (马太1420 ) ( 马可 642-43 ) ( 路加 917 ) ( 约翰613 )
吃的人,除了妇女孩子,约有五千。(马太1421 ) ( 马可644 ) ( 路加 914a ) ( 约翰610b )


The Miracle of the Loaves and Fishes, 1624, Giovanni Lanfranco.



众人看见耶稣所行的神迹,就说:这真是那要到世间来的先知!约翰614 )
耶稣既知道众人要来强逼他作王,就独自又退到山上去了。约翰615 )

然而,有几只小船从提比哩亚来,靠近主祝谢後分饼给人吃的地方。众人见耶稣和门徒都不在那里,就上了船,往迦百农去找耶稣。既在海那边找着了,就对他说:拉比,是几时到这里来的?( 约翰623-25 )

耶稣回答说:我实实在在的告诉你们,你们找我,并不是因见了神迹,乃是因吃饼得饱。不要为那必坏的食物劳力,要为那存到永生的食物劳力,就是人子要赐给你们的,因为人子是父神所印证的。( 约翰626-27 )

众人问他说:我们当行甚麽,才算做神的工呢?( 约翰628 )
耶稣回答说:信神所差来的,这就是做神的工。( 约翰629 )

他们又说:你行甚麽神迹,叫我们看见就信你;你到底做甚麽事呢?我们的祖宗在旷野吃过吗哪,如经上写着说:他从天上赐下粮来给他们吃。( 约翰630-31 )
耶稣说:我实实在在的告诉你们,那从天上来的粮不是摩西赐给你们的,乃是我父将天上来的真粮赐给你们。因为神的粮就是那从天上降下来、赐生命给世界的。( 约翰632-33 )

他们说:主阿,常将这粮赐给我们!( 约翰634 )

耶稣说:我就是生命的粮。到我这里来的,必定不饿;信我的,永远不渴。( 约翰635 )

真真假假


你們要防備假先知。
他們到你們這裡來,外面披著羊皮,裡面卻是殘暴的狼。
(馬太福音 7:15)




如何辨别真假先知?真假教导?真假异梦?真假异象?真假教派?真假门徒?真假道理?

基督教宗派繁多。原为一人传实,居然演变成大大小小宗派不计其数,叫人眼花缭乱。诸多宗派,各有其说。人多意见必然多,不然怎会自立门户? 然而我们如何辨别何为正宗、旁门、异端。真理和歪理之间,往往不是那么黑白分明。

基督徒,顾名思义 ,乃是跟从基督的门徒。然而许多基督徒却不跟随耶稣基督,反而去跟随经学家,布道家等。

许多学者精专圣经、各有千秋,无疑值得我们敬佩与学习。不过若过于崇拜、粉丝般出席各类讲座,囫囵吞枣,不加细爵,人言亦言,岂不就被人牵着鼻子走吗 ? 使徒保罗何等人物,庇哩亞人听了保罗讲道,也不给保罗牵着鼻子走,反而还查考圣经是否与圣经相符 !(使徒行传 1711

无疑,圣经在基督教的地位是不可取代的,是基督教教义的唯一来源。全部圣经是神所默示的(提摩太后书 3:16 ) ,理应是基督徒的灵命日粮(约翰福音 6:33,63)。圣经是神对人说的话,要引人认识神、认识耶稣基督。圣经不需要它之外的任何阐释,而且明白易懂且自我诠释(参考 五个唯独)。若不去听神的话,却去道听途说,岂不就是被人牵着鼻子走?

被牵着鼻子走有何不可? 若被牵走正路,还好 !不幸遇到披着羊皮的狼,岂不糟糕

如何辨别真假 ? 圣经教我们看他们的果子(马太福音 7:15-20 ),看他们的言行举止、教导是否与圣经相符 !(约翰壹书 4:1-3


兜了一圈,又回到了圣经。认识了真理,就懂得分辨歪理。若真理也搞不清,何以分辨歪理 ?

Discipline



Discipline is the biggest of all bugaboos for today’s parents, the reason being they believe in behaviour modification.  They believe in methods, but the problem is their point of view, something no method will correct.   Furthermore, no method will work for long in the absence of the right point of view.  On the other hand, just about any method will work for a parent with the right point of view.  The ONE and ONLY right point of view is the biblical one.  Just as the Bible tells us what children are like, it tells us how to discipline them properly.  Not surprisingly, the Bible says nothing about behaviour modification.


1. Discipline and love are two sides of the same coin
The Lord disciplines those he loves, as a father the so he delights in ( Proverbs 3:12 )

2. Punishment is never pleasant but produces great benefit for the person punished
No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful.  Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it ( Hebrew 12:11 )

3. Punishment is essential to proper discipline
Because the Lord disciplines those he loves, and he punishes everyone he accepts as a son ( Hebrews 12:6 )

4. Proper discipline validates a child
If you are not disciplined… then you are illegitimate children and not true sons ( Hebrews 12:8 )

5. Obedient children are pleasing to their parents
Discipline your son, and he will give you peace; he will bring delight to your soul ( Proverbs 29:17 )

6. Children are to obey their parents
Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord ( Colossians 3:20 )

7. Obedience will bring blessings to children
Listen, my son, to your father’s instruction and do not forsake your mother’s teaching.  They will be a garland to grace your head and a chain to adorn your neck ( Proverbs 1:8-9 )

8. The most obedient children are also the happiest, most self-respecting children
He who ignores discipline despises himself, but whoever heeds correction gains understanding ( Proverbs 15:32 )

 9.  A lack of discipline contributes to death – in the everlasting sense
Discipline your son, for in that there is hope; do not be a willing party to his death ( Proverbs 19:18 )

10. Discipline is the way to life eternal
These commands are a lamp, this teaching is a light, and the corrections of discipline are the way to life ( Proverbs 6:23 )




The above text is copied from the book Parenting by the Book : Biblical Wisdom for Raising Your Child, by John Rosemond. The book is about parenting base on the Bible.  Parenting according to psychology, according to the book, hasn’t worked, not working, and not going to work.  Its time parents got back to parenting by The Book.    - Ongzi
