經文:以賽亞書一至二章
鑰節:「耶和華說,你們來,我們彼此辯論,你們的罪雖像硃紅,必變成雪白……」(1:18)
提要

        以賽亞書第一章,生動的描寫了南國猶大的悖逆、犯罪,以及上帝對他們的懲罰。以賽亞譴責警告他們,除非他們悔改歸向上帝,滿有恩典的上帝會原諒並再復興他們,否則將有更嚴厲的審判臨到;到時上帝召天地起來,譴責這些背約的子民。上帝的信息何等重要,祂渴望祂的子民回轉,而犯罪的人必為自己所做的蒙羞(1:29)

        上帝像一位好父親,把自己的兒女養大,他們卻悖逆、忘恩負義,當上帝向他們顯現時,他們竟不理睬,連牲畜都不如;以賽亞說,牛和驢都認識主人且會跟隨主人(1:3),而以色列人卻頑固(1:4)選擇離棄與他們立約的上帝。上帝稱他們為悖逆者,因他們離棄上帝純正的真道,而隨從自己的私慾犯罪(1:21;羅1:21~23)。

        同時北國的以色列人也同樣的犯罪,上帝亦擊打他們,使他們的居所荒蕪。(1:5,7)猶大激怒上帝,以致上帝敵擋他們,墮落的靈進入,他們就看不清楚,只有上帝能醫治他們(1:6)。以色列被毀,耶路撒冷在強敵的掠奪中保留下來,但已像葡萄園中的草棚(1:8);猶大若不回轉服事上帝,也將像以色列一樣遭難。

        以賽亞宣告,耶路撒冷城若非剩下一些有信心的,也必像所多瑪、蛾摩拉城一樣被毀滅,因自從城中的官長、領袖和祭司,沒有清潔悔改的心,虛偽獻祭與上帝,即為上帝所厭惡(1:11~13;箴15:8;21:27;撒上15:22;詩50:14;51:16~17;摩5:21~24;耶6:20;彌6:6~7)。他們踐踏上帝的院宇,又與上帝的仇敵聯合(1:12,24),他們是兇手是小偷,又假裝公義壓迫人(1:21~23),因此他們舉手禱告上帝不垂聽,他們的手滿了殺人的血(1:15)。

        即使他們犯罪,上帝仍願意原諒赦免他們的罪,救贖他們(直到如今,上帝仍如此對待我們);上帝希望他們自潔悔改,尋求祂,走在祂的旨意中(1:16~17;耶4:14),之後上帝將以慈愛接納他們;上帝說,他們的罪雖像硃紅,必變成雪白(1:18)。對上帝赦罪恩典的回應,是順服祂,只有如此才能得到上帝不斷的祝福。

        敵對上帝的人,上帝將他們放在不滅的永火中毀滅他們(1:19~20,28~31)。以賽亞又預言上帝將喚起公義,洗淨猶大人的罪,像火煉盡銀子中的渣滓一般,之後耶路撒冷才能成為公義之城(1:25~26)。

        在第二章中預言到「以後的日子」(2:2;彌4:1~5),也就是耶穌基督再來,統治管理全地做得勝王的時候,祂要建立新耶路撒冷城,全地的人都要敬拜祂,外邦人亦分享到約中的祝福。到時彌賽亞耶穌要審判全地,用鐵杖管轄他們(啟2:27),之後全地也將有奇妙的安息和知識。在未來的榮光中,以賽亞告誡人們要服事主,且走在上帝的光明中(2:5;箴6:23;詩119:105;弗5:8),如此才不會在上帝憤怒的審判中受苦。

        在這乖謬的世代中要順服上帝,自然會有迫害,而所必須面對的現實潮流有自傲、自榮(2:11,17)、物質主義、拜偶像、與外邦人擊掌(2:6~9);若他們要逃避將來可怕的審判,就不可倚靠世人(2:22),因世人的氣息不會長存。上帝審判的日子,也就是以色列人受罰時,他們要逃跑,躲藏在洞穴中(2:10,21)。

禱告

        主耶穌!賜我們聆聽的耳,能明白您說的話而順服您,也願我們今日能服事周圍的人。奉主耶穌聖名,阿們!

Scriptures:Read Isaiah 1&2
Key Verse:"Come now, and let us reason together,"says the Lord, "though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.."(Isaiah 1:18)
Overview

        The first chapter of Isaiah graphically pictures the rebellious and sinful condition of the people of Judah (Southern Kingdom), who were under the chastisement of God. Isaiah rebuked them and warned them of greater judgments to come unless they repented and returned to the Lord, who was graciously ready to forgive and restore them.

        The Lord called heaven and earth to be condemnatory witnesses against His covenant people. This displays the importance of His message and His longing for the people to return to Him. It would also serve to expose, shame, and embarrass them because of their many sins (1:29).

        Like a good and caring father, God had nourished and raised His chosen children, but they were ungrateful and rebellious. As the Lord reveals, they were more ignorant than beasts, for oxen and donkeys know their masters and have enough sense and appreciation to follow them (1:3); but the children of Israel stubbornly "turned away backward" (1:4) in a deliberate choice to not follow their Covenant God. God calls them "corrupters", for they corrupted the true and pure way of God by following after their own sinful desires, including idolatry (1:21) and syncretism (cf. Rom. 1:21-23).

        Their brethren in the Northern Kingdom of Israel had done the same, so God had stricken them and made their cities desolate (1:5, 7). Now the people of Judah have provoked God, and His anger stirred against them. They are full of putrefying spiritual sickness for which they have not sought treatment — a treatment of healing that only God can give (1:6). With Israel destroyed, Jerusalem remains like "a booth in a vineyard" (1:8), which housed those who guarded and protected the fields from marauders. If the people of Judah did not return to serve God, they, like Israel, would meet with calamity.

        Isaiah explains that if it had not been for the faithful remnant, Jerusalem would have been destroyed like Sodom and Gomorrah. The majority of people, including judges, leaders, and priests, were hypocrites whose sacrifices to the Lord at the Temple were abominations to Him, since they were not offered with a pure and repentant heart (1:11-13; cf. Prov. 15:8; 21:27; 1 Sam. 15:22; Ps. 50:14, 51:16-17; Amos 5:21-24; Jer. 6:20; Mic. 6:6-7). They "trampled" the courts of the Lord like hostile enemies, for in their hearts they had joined the camp of the Lord's enemy (1:12, 24). They were murderers, thieves, and oppressors who perverted justice (1:21-23); so the Lord would not heed them when they prayed and lifted up their hands stained with innocent blood (1:15).

        Even with all their guilt and sin, the Lord was still willing to forgive them and grant them His salvation, as He still does for mankind today. God desired that they cleanse themselves from all evil, repent, seek Him, and walk in His ways (1:16-17; cf. Jer. 4:14); then He would graciously call them before Him and mercifully change their lives stained with sin into lives that are pure and "as white as snow" (1:18). The proper response to God's forgiving grace is to live in obedience to Him, for only then will one enjoy the continued blessings of God.

        Destruction awaits those who rebel against God; they will be consumed in an unquenchable fire (1:19-20, 28-31). Isaiah prophesied that God will restore justice and purge Judah of sin, as a refiner's fire removes dross from silver. Jerusalem will then be a city of righteousness (1:25-26) which Isaiah expands upon in chapter two as occuring "in the latter days" (2:2; cf. Mic. 4:1-5) when Jesus Christ will return to rule and reign as the victorious King of kings. He will establish the New Jerusalem which will be the focal point of worship for the world. In the latter days, as it is today, Gentiles will share in the blessings of the covenant. The Messiah Jesus will judge all nations and rule "with a rod of iron" (Rev. 2:27), and it will be a time of wonderful peace and knowledge. In light of this future glory, Isaiah exhorts the people to serve the Lord now and to "walk in the light of the Lord" (2:5; cf. Prov. 6:23; Ps. 119:105; Eph. 5:8), so they might not suffer the future judgment of God's wrath which His perfect justice demands.

        To be obedient to God in such a corrupt society would naturally entail persecution, for it would mean opposing the fashionable trends of the day, which were self-pride, self-glorification (2:11,17), materialism, idolatry, and a close association with the heathen (2:6-9). Isaiah warns that in order to escape the terrible judgment and fate that awaits the sinful and the proud, the true people of God must sever themselves from these wicked men while they are still prospering (2:22). The prosperity of the unrepentant, however, will not last for long. In the Day of the Lord, their judgment will be so severe that they will run and hide in the caves and holes in the rocks, which was what the Israelites used to do in times of severe persecution (2:10, 21).

Prayer

        Lord Jesus, please give us ears to hear what You are saying, and may we be obedient to You. Bring someone across our path today to whom we may minister.
