新约 - 使徒行传(Acts)第1章

In my former book, Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach
until the day he was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen.
After his suffering, he showed himself to these men and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God.
On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: "Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about.
For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit."
So when they met together, they asked him, "Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?"
He said to them: "It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority.
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."
After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight.
They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them.
"Men of Galilee," they said, "why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven."
Then they returned to Jerusalem from the hill called the Mount of Olives, a Sabbath day's walk from the city.
When they arrived, they went upstairs to the room where they were staying. Those present were Peter, John, James and Andrew; Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew; James son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James.
They all joined together constantly in prayer, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.
In those days Peter stood up among the believers (a group numbering about a hundred and twenty)
and said, "Brothers, the Scripture had to be fulfilled which the Holy Spirit spoke long ago through the mouth of David concerning Judas, who served as guide for those who arrested Jesus--
he was one of our number and shared in this ministry."
(With the reward he got for his wickedness, Judas bought a field; there he fell headlong, his body burst open and all his intestines spilled out.
Everyone in Jerusalem heard about this, so they called that field in their language Akeldama, that is, Field of Blood.)
"For," said Peter, "it is written in the book of Psalms, "'May his place be deserted; let there be no one to dwell in it,' and, "'May another take his place of leadership.'
Therefore it is necessary to choose one of the men who have been with us the whole time the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
beginning from John's baptism to the time when Jesus was taken up from us. For one of these must become a witness with us of his resurrection."
So they proposed two men: Joseph called Barsabbas (also known as Justus) and Matthias.
Then they prayed, "Lord, you know everyone's heart. Show us which of these two you have chosen
to take over this apostolic ministry, which Judas left to go where he belongs."
Then they cast lots, and the lot fell to Matthias; so he was added to the eleven apostles.
使徒行传第一章   第 1 章 

  使徒行传中的主要地方 

  徒 1:1> 路加写完了福音书,再接再励,这次的使徒行传,讲的是…… 

  1:1 使徒行传是路加福音的续篇,记述了耶稣升天后三十年间所发生的事。在这短短的时间内,教会建立起来,福音传到各地,直至罗马帝国的首都。虽然那些传福音的都是普通人,但是他们藉着圣灵能影响整个“天下”( 17:6 )。通过使徒行传,我们认识到教会的本质以及今天如何藉着福音来改变全世界。 

  徒 1:1-3> 门徒亲眼看见所有的事!你说若他们没有看见…… 

  1:1-3 路加说门徒亲眼看见所有发生在耶稣基督身上的事,这一点非常重要,因为正是这一点使我们对他们的见证有信心。 

  徒 1:3> 耶稣死时门徒四散逃,今受逼迫却不改容,如此信心从何来?人真的可以如此为主? 

  1:3 耶稣死的时候,门徒感到绝望、四散逃走。但是,当他们看到复活的基督后,便一无所惧了。为了把福音传遍世界,他们被收在监里,遭鞭打、被拒绝,甚至被杀害,然而他们从没放弃这使命。今天,只要你虚心一点,看看神在你自己和弟兄姊妹身上救赎和保护的恩典,你也可以得着同样的信心凭据。 

  徒 1:5> 耶稣升天后,如果没有差圣灵来到,我们会如何?不知道圣灵有何用…… 

  1:5 圣灵在五旬节降临在信徒身上,当我们接受耶稣基督时,也同时领受圣灵:( 1 )圣灵标志着基督徒经历的开始,没有基督的灵,我们不会属于基督(参罗 8:9 );没有基督的灵,我们不能与基督联合(参林前 6:17 );没有基督的灵,我们不能被接纳为祂的儿女(参罗 8:14-17 ;加 4:6-7 );若非藉圣灵的洗,我们就不能成为基督的身体(参林前 12:13 )。( 2 )圣灵是我们新生命的动力。祂改变我们一生,使我们的生命变得更像基督(参加 3:3 ;腓 1:6 )。当我们凭信心接受基督时,便立刻与神建立亲密的关系,圣灵在我们里面作工,帮助我们更像基督。( 3 )圣灵使基督徒在基督里合一(参弗 2:19-22 )。 

  徒 1:6-7> 等候、等待,变成焦虑、烦躁;神所定的人不知?主,你知道我心…… 

  1:6-7 像其他犹太人一样,门徒憎恨罗马的统治者。他们希望耶稣作王,马上带领以色列摆脱罗马的统治。耶稣回答说父神为所有的事情定下了时间。倘若神没有立刻成就你所期望的事,请不要烦躁,应当信靠神的安排。 

  徒 1:8> 圣灵能力天上来,是指──神迹大能?人传使命就只靠这些?还有…… 

  1:8 从圣灵而来的能力不单指超自然方面的,更包括了勇气、胆量、信心、能力和权威。门徒需要这样的恩赐来完成使命。 %5 

  徒 1:8> 人领受圣灵后,就可为神作见证;人却有种自己作主的倾向,不听内心声音,你不会吧…… 

  1:8 耶稣应许门徒,他们在领受圣灵后,便会得着能力去作见证。请留意整个进程:( 1 )他们领受圣灵;( 2 )圣灵赐能力给他们;( 3 )他们常本末倒置靠自己的能力和权威去作见证。作见证并非显示我们能够为神做些什么,而是要显明和传讲神为我们做了些什么。耶稣已经指示门徒去向万民作见证(参太 28:19-20 ),但他们先要等候圣灵的降临(参路 24:49 )。 

  神吩咐你为祂承担重要的工作,但你必须倚靠圣灵的能力。我们常常喜欢跑到神的前面,自己去推动工作,却不知“等候”是神的计划的一部分,你是正在等候聆听神的指示,还是已经跑到祂之前了呢? 

  徒 1:12-14> 作任何事之先,他们祈祷;在等候时,他们祈祷;我作事作决定时,我…… 

  1:12-14 当基督升天后,门徒立刻回到耶路撒冷,并举行祈祷会。耶稣说他们在几天内就会受圣灵的洗,所以他们边等候、边祈祷。当你面对一项困难的工作、一个重大的决定、或处于令人迷惑的窘境时,你第一件要做的事就是祈祷,求圣灵赐能力和带领,不要急忙进行什么工作。 

  徒 1:16> 犹大每天见主面,卖主不是他所选?我就不信,你说…… 

  1:16 一个每日都与耶稣在一起的人,怎能出卖祂呢?犹大与其他门徒一样,领受同样的呼召、同样的教导,但他选择了拒绝基督的警告和怜悯,策划出卖耶稣。虽然耶稣预言过这件事会发生,但这全是犹大个人的选择。那些可以靠近真理的人并不一定会向真理献身。(有关犹大生平的资料,请参可 14 章的人物介绍。) 

  徒 1:21-26> 要选一个新使徒,列出一些条件如才干,不就成吗?怎么他们不在讨论,却在祷告? 

  1:21-26 这是第一次教会事务会议,主要是委任一位新的使徒,与其余十一位使徒同列。当使徒在聚会时,他们做了自己所能够做的:首先定下与圣经相符的拣选的标准,研究不同的选择,并祈祷求神赐下智慧、引导和拣选,让他们作出一个明智的决定。这是一个很好的榜样,教导我们在作重要决定时应该如何进行。因为人只能看到外表如才干、外貌、地位和财富,神却能看到内心的意念和属灵生命的质素。──《灵修版圣经注释》
