作神蒙福的子民 ( 賽六十一 ) 中英bilingual

你們倒要稱為耶和華的祭司，人必稱你們為我們   神的僕役，你們必吃用列國的財物，因得他們的榮耀自誇。你們必得加倍的好處，代替所受的羞辱，在境內必得加倍的產業，永遠之樂必歸與你們。( 賽 61：6-7 ) 

本章當中以賽亞得著恩膏要「傳好信息給謙卑的人，醫好傷心的人，報告被擄的得釋放，被囚的出監牢，報告耶和華的恩年，報告神復仇的日子，安慰一切悲哀的人。」（參賽 61：1-2）這是神給以賽亞的使命，也是給我們每一個神的僕人的使命。今天我們領受了神的靈和能力，我們要去傳福音給願意謙卑領受和靈裏貧窮、不滿足的人，讓他們能因著耶穌的靈得著醫治，能從罪的綑綁中得釋放，能從各樣的轄制中得著真正的自由。因此我們起來傳福音和為別人禱告時，不用懷疑自己的能力，因為主耶和華的靈在我們身上，我們不是靠自己乃是靠主的能力。  

田地怎樣使百穀發芽，園子怎樣使所種的發生，主耶和華必照樣使公義和讚美在萬民中發出。( 賽 61 : 11) 

縱然以色列人有多麼的不堪、悖逆，但神接納的時間已臨到，神施恩拯救的日子已來到。神要讓被罪壓傷，痛悔的人得釋放得安慰；同樣神的恩年已臨到我們的生命中，我們是被神接納的，我們不用懷疑，因著耶穌我們不再是罪的奴僕，因著耶穌我們罪的債都得著完全的赦免，我們要得回一切屬我們的豐盛產業。 

神施恩的日子已來臨，不單是臨到以色列人和我們的生命中，神的心意是要臨到所有人的生命中。神要釋放一切被罪綑綁，一切在患難中悲哀的人。我們本來按肉體是外邦人，與基督無關，在以色列國民以外，在所應許的諸約上是局外人，並且活在世上沒有指望沒有神。如今均在基督耶穌裏，靠著祂的寶血已經得與神親近了，這是何等大的恩典。我們應當善加珍惜，在行事為人上要有好的表現，將生命之道表明出來，才能與所領受的福音相稱。 

因為聽道而不行道的，就像人對著鏡子看自己本來的面目。看見、走後隨即忘了他的相貌如何。惟有詳細察看那全備使人自由之律法的，並且時常如此，這人既不是聽了就忘，乃是實在行出來，就在他所行的事上必然得福。( 雅 1 : 23-25 )  

從以前到現在，還是會有人感到疑惑的問：我所信的真的是世上獨一的真神嗎？當然是的！那獨一全能的神，時時刻刻都在看顧保護著我們，與我們同在，這是真的！不要懷疑，只要相信用渴慕恆切的心認真祈求，只要願意我們就可以享受一個蒙神賜福的人生。我又告訴你們，你們祈求就給你們，尋找就尋見，叩門就給你們開門。(路 11：9) 

我們不能自滿於基本道理，需要不斷的學習成長，並要深化信仰品質，向下扎根往上成長。(參賽 37：31 ) 一個人的信仰工程要紮紮實實的，經得起考驗，以主耶穌為根基，用真理建造，並且重視信仰，這樣就是所謂的「向下扎根向上結果」。

人都有缺點，我們需要找出不足的地方。要如何做？就是人要回歸到謙卑溫柔的心，領受主所栽種的道，使我們的靈魂能得到生命之道，還能將道理行出來。 

你的居民都成為義人，永遠得地為業，是我種的栽子，我手的工作，使我得榮耀。( 賽 60：21 ) 

所以我們在信仰上的任何一個環節，都要很小心不要輕忽，不要一時大意可能就失落了某一個人。 我們是靠神的恩典走信仰的道路， 雖然在信仰上我們面對很大的苦難和考驗，看起來是很艱難的，但神的應許卻絕不落空，我們要靠著神的應許，在信仰道路上定睛看耶穌，不斷的前進，必然會得到神的悅納與拯救！ 

我只吩咐他們這一件說 : 你們當聽從我的話，我就作你們的 神，你們也作我的子民，你們行我所吩咐的一切道，就可以得福。(耶 7：23 )

Being God’s Blessed People (Isaiah 61)

June 22, 2026

But you will be called the priests of the LORD; You will be spoken of as ministers of our God.

You will eat the wealth of nations,

And you will boast in their riches.Instead of your shame you will have a double portion, And instead of humiliation they will shout for joy over their portion.

Therefore they will possess a double portion in their land,

Everlasting joy will be theirs.

(Isaiah 61:6-7)

In this chapter, Isaiah received anointing to “bring good news to the humble, bind up the brokenhearted, give freedom to prisoners, proclaim the favorable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; To comfort all who mourn.” (see  Isaiah 61:1-2) This is the mission God gave Isaiah, and the mission of all of us as God’s servant. Today we received God’s spirit and abilities, we need to spread the gospel to those who receive it with humility and those who are poor in the spirit, people who are unsatisfied, allowing them to be healed with Lord Jesus’s spirit, to be saved from sin and receive freedom, to receive freedom from all sorts of limitations that control them. Therefore when we spread the gospel and pray for others, do not doubt your abilities, because Lord Jesus’s spirit abides with us, and we do not rely on ourselves but rather on God’s abilities. 

For as the earth produces its sprouts,

And as a garden causes the things sown in it to spring up, So the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise,To spring up before all the nations.

(Isaiah 61:11)

Though Israelites were truly unbearable and disobedient, but God’s time of acceptance has dawned upon them, God’s hour of salvation has arrived. God is going to set free the ones who have been crushed by sin and those with a contrite spirit to receive comfort. As such, God’s favorite year has dawned upon us in our lives. We are accepted by God, there is no need to doubt it. Through Jesus, we are no longer servants to sin. Because of Jesus, all our sin debt is entirely forgiven. We are to receive a fulfilling inheritance that belongs to us. 

God’s day of grace has come. Not only did it reach the Israelites and our lives, but God’s will is to approach everyone’s lives. God sets free everyone who is bound by sin, and those who are miserable amidst sufferings. We are gentiles according to the flesh, unrelated to Christ, and are outside of Israelites, complete outsiders to all promises and covenants, and our lives on earth have no hope because we do not have God. However, now we live in Christ, and through His blood we are close to God. This is such a great blessing. We ought to cherish it even more, and have good deeds and character, revealing the way of life, in order to be worthy of the gospel received. 

For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror; for once he has looked at himself and gone away, he has immediately forgotten what kind of person he was. But one who has looked intently at the perfect law, the law of freedom, and has continued in it, not having become a forgetful hearer but an active doer, this person will be blessed in what he does. (James 1:23-25)

From the past until now, there are still people who wonder and ask: Is the One I believe in truly the only true God in the world? Of course, yes! The one and only Almighty God is constantly watching over and protecting us, being with us at all times,this is real! Do not doubt, but simply believe. With a longing and earnest heart, pray sincerely. As long as we are willing, we can enjoy a life blessed by God. “So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. (Luke 11:9)

We can not satisfy our basic doctrines, we need to learn and  growing up, deepen the quality of faith, rooting downward and growing upward. 

(see Isaiah 37:31) A person’s roots in faith must be deeply rooted, and can withstand trials, with Lord Jesus as the foundation, built in Truth, and viewing faith seriously. This is termed “take root downward and bear fruit upward”. People have bad traits, and we need to find out areas where we are weak. How do we do that? Everyone has flaws, and we need to identify our shortcomings. How do we do this? We need to return to a humble and gentle heart, receive the teachings planted by the Lord, so that our souls may receive the way of life and put those teachings into practice.

Then all your people will be righteous;

They will possess the land forever,

The branch of My planting,The work of My hands,That I may be glorified.

(Isaiah 60:21)

Therefore we should be careful in every single aspect of our faith, not taking it lightly. We shouldn’t lose a single person because of any accidents on our part. We rely on God’s grace to walk on the path of faith. Though we meet large difficulties and trials in front of us, and it seems very difficult, but God’s promise is never in vain. We must rely on God’s promise. On this pathway of faith we set our eyes upon Jesus, continuing forwards, and we will receive God’s approval and salvation! 

But this is what I commanded them, saying, ‘Obey My voice, and I will be your God, and you will be My people; and you shall walk entirely in the way which I command you, so that it may go well for you.’ (Jeremiah 7:23)
