神所看顧與不喜悅的人(賽六十六)中英bilingual

一、神所看顧的人就是: 
1、虛心痛悔、因神話而戰兢的人 
耶和華說:這一切都是我手所造的,所以就都有了。但我所看顧的,就是虛心(原文作貧窮)痛悔、因我話而戰兢的人。(賽 66:2) 
那些聽見主話,懂得反省,並產生敬畏的心,能夠因自身尚未能達到神的標準,而虛心痛悔,知道自己錯了,憂傷痛悔、謙卑悔改,盡力改正自身錯誤的人,就是神所願意看顧的,因耶和華言語而戰兢的人,必看見神的榮耀而喜樂。 

2、愛慕耶路撒冷的人 
你們愛慕耶路撒冷的都要與他一同歡喜快樂;你們為他悲哀的都要與他一同樂上加樂。耶和華如此說:我要使平安延及他,好像江河,使列國的榮耀延及他,如同漲溢的河。你們要從中享受;你們也必因耶路撒冷得安慰。你們看見,就心中快樂;你們的骨頭必得滋潤像嫩草一樣;而且耶和華的手向他僕人所行的必被人知道;他也要向仇敵發惱恨。(參賽 66:10-14) 
愛慕耶路撒冷的要滿得榮耀與喜樂(10-14),愛慕耶路撒冷的就是愛神、愛教會的人,看見教會因破口而被辱,會感到悲哀而不是見獵心喜瘋狂謾罵、毀謗,若看見教會軟弱就四處批評、論斷,將自己置身事外,站在一旁攻擊、嘲諷,彷彿自己不是教會的一份子,好像教會的軟弱跟他無關,這種人是自高自大、自以為是。 

我們每個人都是教會的一份子,教會的不足就是我們所有人的責任,看見問題的人就要承擔起來,期許自己成為堵住破口的人,而非只會指責、數落。愛教會的人,神要讓他樂上加樂,得豐盛的榮耀,神要使他平安如江河,得以蒙受安慰、得滋潤,願我們一生一世看見耶路撒冷的好處(參詩 128:5)! 

二、神不喜悅假冒為善之人 
假冒為善的宰牛,好像殺人,獻羊羔,好像打折狗項,獻供物,好像獻豬血,燒乳香,好像稱頌偶像。這等人揀選自己的道路,心裡喜悅行可憎惡的事。我也必揀選迷惑他們的事,使他們所懼怕的臨到他們;因為我呼喚,無人答應;我說話,他們不聽從;反倒行我眼中看為惡的,揀選我所不喜悅的。(賽 66:3-4) 
假冒為善的人就是平時行神眼中看為惡的事的人,卻在人前照常獻祭給神,有敬虔的外貌,卻背了敬虔的實意,表面上在教會中有積極的事奉與敬拜生活,但在家庭、學校與工作場合卻沒有基督徒的樣式,行事為人像外邦人,在家也未能有讀經禱告等靈修生活,無法遵行神的道理,這樣的人是神所不悅納的,他們宰牛,好像殺人,獻羊羔,好像打折狗項,獻供物,好像獻豬血,燒乳香,好像稱頌偶像。他們不獻祭事奉還好,越獻祭事奉越惹神憤怒,他們是按自己的想法行事為 人,沒有按著神的真理而行,信仰對他們而言是與生活割裂的,道理聽歸聽卻沒有改變,戴著面具來教會,神的呼喚他們也沒反應,神必揀選迷惑他們的事,或許是假教師的道理,或許是世上的情慾,神也要使他們所懼怕的臨到他們。 

我們若是這樣的人,我們就要改變,否則咒詛將會臨到,我們要做真以色列人,拿掉不實的面具,把道理聽進心坎裡,並將道理行出來,讓道理改變生命,不再當成耳邊風,而是實實在在種進心田裡,並努力發芽結實,長出三十倍、六十倍、一百倍。 

如此一來,我們的事奉才會蒙神悅納,因此事工人員首重靈修工作,靈修做得好,事奉才會做得好、才會蒙悅納,教會的事工人員責任與影響力重大,應當看重自己的職分與工作,每日的靈修生活不可少,一天至少讀一到三章聖經,禱告至少 10-30 分鐘,讓我們一起做好靈修的工夫,獻上更美的事奉給神,也避免自己成為假冒為善的人。

People God Looks Favorably On and People He Does Not Delight In (Isaiah 66)

June 27, 2026


I. The People God Looks Favorably On:

1. Those Who Are Humble, Contrite, and Tremble at God's Word

The LORD says: "All these things My hand has made, and so all these things came into being," declares the LORD. "But to this one I will look: to one who is humble and contrite in spirit, and who trembles at My word." (Isaiah 66:2, NASB 2020)

Those who hear God's word, examine themselves, and develop a heart of fear are the people God looks upon with favor. They realize they have not yet reached God's standard.They admit their mistakes.

They are sorry for their sins.They humble themselves.

They truly repent.

They do their best to correct their wrong ways. These are the people whom God is willing to care for.

Those who tremble at God's word will see His glory and rejoice.


2. Those Who Love Jerusalem

"Be joyful with Jerusalem and rejoice for her, all you who love her... For this is what the LORD says: 'Behold, I extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the nations like an overflowing stream... You will be comforted in Jerusalem.Then you will see this, and your heart will be glad, And your bones will flourish like the new grass; And the hand of the LORD will be made known to His servants, But He will be indignant toward His enemies.

(cf.Isaiah 66:10–14, NASB 2020)

Those who love Jerusalem will receive glory and joy(10-14).To love Jerusalem means to love God and to love His church.When they see the church suffer or become weak, they grieve.

They do not enjoy criticizing.They do not attack, mock, slander, or judge the church.They do not stand outside as if the church has nothing to do with them. People who only criticize the church are proud and self-righteous.


Every one of us is part of the church.

The weaknesses of the church are the responsibility of all of us.When we see a problem, we should take responsibility.

We should become people who repair the breaches, not people who only complain.Those who love the church will receive greater joy.

God will fill them with abundant glory.

He will give them peace like a river.

He will comfort them. He will refresh them. May we see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of our lives. (See Psalm 128:5.)


II. God Does Not Delight in Hypocrites

"The one who slaughters an ox is like one who kills a person; the one who sacrifices a lamb is like one who breaks a dog's neck; the one who offers a grain offering is like one who offers pig's blood; the one who burns frankincense is like one who blesses an idol. As they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delights in their abominations, so I will choose their punishments and bring on them what they dread. Because I called, but no one answered; I spoke, but they did not listen. Instead they did evil in My sight and chose that in which I did not delight." (Isaiah 66:3–4, NASB 2020)

Hypocrites are people who do evil in God's sight during daily life, yet continue offering worship before people.They have an appearance of godliness but deny its true power.

They may actively serve and worship in church, but at home, at school, and at work they do not live like Christians.They live like unbelievers.

They do not maintain a life of Bible reading and prayer.

They do not obey God's word. God does not accept this kind of worship.

Their sacrifices become offensive to God.The more they serve without true obedience, the more they provoke God's anger.They live according to their own ideas instead of God's truth.Their faith is separated from their daily life.

They hear God's word but never change.They wear a mask when they come to church.

God calls them, but they do not respond.

God allows deception to come upon them.It may be false teaching.

It may be worldly desires.God also allows what they fear to come upon them.


If we are like this, we must repent and change.Otherwise, judgment will come.

We should become true Israelites.

We should remove our false masks.

We should receive God's word deep into our hearts.We should put His word into practice.

We should let His truth change our lives. We should no longer treat His word as something we simply hear and forget. Instead, we should plant it deeply in our hearts.

We should let it grow and bear fruit—

thirtyfold, sixtyfold,

and a hundredfold.


Then our service will be acceptable to God.For church workers, spiritual cultivation must come first.When our spiritual life is healthy, our service will also be healthy and acceptable to God. Church workers have great responsibility and influence.We should value the ministry God has given us.

Daily spiritual cultivation is essential.Read one to three chapters of the Bible every day.

Pray for at least ten to thirty minutes every day. Let us faithfully build our spiritual cultivation together, offer better service to God,

and avoid becoming hypocrites.
