称赞那最小的

In Praise Of The Least

“我告诉你们，凡妇人所生的，没有一个大过约翰的。然而神国里最小的比他还大。” - 路 7:28

“I tell you, among those born of women there is no one greater than John; yet the one who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.” - Luke 7:28

约翰的门徒们曾来询问耶稣。他们走后，耶稣便讲了约翰的故事。约翰对神有活泼的信心，他对神的呼召有极大的热情，然而许多人都误解了他。耶稣清楚说明约翰是个先知，而且——他并不是被鬼附，在沙漠里做疯狂的事情。耶稣也说明，约翰从神而来的使命，是要为耶稣作为弥赛亚的工作预备道路。

John’s disciples had come to ask about Jesus. After they left, Jesus told John’s story. John was a man who was fully alive to God, had great zeal for God’s calling on his life, and yet was misunderstood by many people. Jesus set the record straight that John was a prophet, and more—not a person possessed by a demon and doing crazy things in the desert. Jesus made clear that John’s mission from God was to prepare the way for Jesus’ own work as the Messiah.

约翰为许多人施洗，使他们进入悔改和赦罪的新生命。更重要的是，他的工作预备好人们的心思意念，来迎接神透过耶稣将要临到的国度，这是从起初就计划好的。而且耶稣给予约翰一个救主所能授予的最佳称赞，说“神国里最小的比他还大”。这究竟是什么意思呢？

John baptized many people into new lives of repentance and forgiveness. More important, his ministry prepared people’s hearts and minds for the coming of God’s kingdom through Jesus, planned from the beginning of time. And Jesus gave John the best compliment a Savior could bestow, saying that “the one who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.” What does this mean?

耶稣的话显明约翰是个谦卑的、神真正的仆人；而信靠耶稣的人，不管他们来自怎样的背景，都可以谦卑、忠实地服事，为神的国度带来尊荣。

Jesus’ words showed that John was a humble, true servant of God and that they also could serve humbly and faithfully, bringing honor to God’s kingdom as believers in him, no matter what background they came from.

耶稣抬高了那些被社会称为不可触摸的、无价值的，和无可救药的人。如果你我相信这一点，我们就已准备好去服事，因为祂也会称赞我们。

Jesus lifts up people whom society calls untouchable, unworthy, or unredeemable. If you and I believe this, we are set to serve, for he exalts us too.

🙏 祷告

亲爱的耶稣，我承认，我需要悔改和得赦免。求祢向我显明天国的道路，靠着祢的力量，而不是我的力量而活，好向所有人传播祢的爱和福音。奉祢的名祷告，阿们。

Prayer

Dear Jesus, I admit that I need to repent and be forgiven. Show me the way to kingdom living in your strength, not mine, spreading your love and good news to all. Amen.

🙏经文

路加福音 7:24-35

Luke 7:24-35

24 约翰所差来的人既走了，耶稣就对众人讲论约翰说：“你们从前出去到旷野是要看什么呢？要看风吹动的芦苇吗？
