經文:馬太福音十二章
鑰節:「因為人子是安息日的主」(12:8)
提要

         這是福音書裡首次出現有關安息日的爭議。在這個事件裡,耶穌的門徒於安息日從麥地經過,他們就掐起麥穗來吃。法利賽人一直想捉住機會控告耶穌觸犯律法,就指出門徒在安息日做了不該做的事。耶穌卻以一個歷史事件回答他們,大衛有一次與他的同伴進入神的殿,吃了惟有祭司才可以吃的陳設餅。耶穌在這裡確立了一件事:安息日應該是為人設的,人卻不是為安息日而設的。耶穌也告訴這些人,祂是安息日的主;這下更觸怒了他們。

         當天稍晚,耶穌碰見一個手萎縮了的人,法利賽人又想捉祂的把柄好控告祂,所以他們問耶穌,在安息日可不可以治病。耶穌回答:「如果你們有一隻羊在安息日掉入坑中,你們難道不把牠捉住拉上來嗎?人比羊貴重多了。所以,在安息日作善事是可以的。」

         在這場安息日的爭議裡,耶穌確立了兩件事。首先,祂是安息日的主,因此祂有權柄宣告什麼可做,什麼不可做;其次,在安息日作善事是可以的,行善當然牽涉到工作。耶穌說,「如果是善事,那麼就去作!」醫病既然是善事,祂也就毫不猶豫的醫治了那人。耶穌對那人說:「伸出手來」,那人的手就完全復原了。法利賽人不知所措,他們就出去,商議怎樣可以除滅耶穌。

         在二十世紀的今天,我們也應記住,任何我們所設立或重視的制度只有在它能服務人類時才是好的制度。如果到一個地步變成我們服事它,那麼,我們可能會像法利賽人一樣,設立許多連耶穌自己也不設立的制度。

禱告

         主啊,願我們追求行善,即使可能冒著違反社會標準或制度的危險也在所不惜。您是萬物之主!奉主耶穌基督聖名,阿們!

Scriptures:Read Matthew 12
Key Verse:“For the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath”(Matthew 12:8 )
Overview

         This is the first of what are known as the Sabbath controversies in the gospels. On this occasion, Jesus’ disciples were picking some heads of grain and eating them as they walked through some grain fields on the Sabbath day. The Pharisees, who were always looking for a chance to accurse Jesus of unlawful behavior, pointed out that the disciples were doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath. Jesus responded by referring to an historical event when David entered the house of the Lord with his companions and ate the consecrated bread which was lawful only for the priests to do. He establishes the fact that the Sabbath is something which should serve man rather than man serving the Sabbath. He then informs these men that He is the Lord of the Sabbath, and offends them even more.

         Later that day, Jesus happened to run into a man who had a paralyzed, shriveled hand. Again, the Pharisees were there looking for a reason to accuse Him, and so they asked Jesus if it was lawful to heal on the Sabbath. He replied, “If you have a sheep who falls into the pit on a Sabbath, won’t you take hold of it and lift it out? Well, a man is much more valuable than a sheep. Therefore, it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.”

         So, in terms of these Sabbath controversies, Jesus established two things. First of all, He is Lord of the Sabbath, which gives Him the authority to declare what is lawful and what is not; and secondly, what is lawful is to do what is good and, of course, doing good is something which can involve work. Jesus says, “if it’s good, do it.” Now, it was good to heal a man, so He healed him. “Stretch out you hand,” He said, and it was completely restored. The Pharisees couldn’t handle this, and they went out to plot how they might kill Jesus.

         In terms of the twentieth century, it is good for us to remember that any institution we may have and hold dear is good only to the extent that it serves us. When it comes to the point where we’re serving it, then like the Pharisees, we may have made more of the institution than Jesus Himself would ever make of it.

Prayer

         Lord, may we seek to do good, even at the risk of going against the grain of societal norms and institutions. You are Lord of all!
