被提到天上

Taken Up To Heaven

读经 | Reading

“住耶利哥的先知门徒从对面看见他，就说：‘感动以利亚的灵感动以利沙了。’”

—王下 2:15

The company of the prophets from Jericho, who were watching, said, “The spirit of Elijah is resting on Elisha.” — 2 Kings 2:15

灵修 | Devotion

在了解升天节这个旅程中，让我们稍停下来，听听先知以利亚和他的继承人以利沙的对话。在这段对话中，以利亚三次提到他正在旅程中。

In our journey to understand Ascension Day, we need to stop and overhear this exchange between the prophet Elijah and his successor, Elisha. Three times Elijah notes that he is on a journey.

旅程的第一站是伯特利，就是雅各在梦中看见连接天地、和有天使上去下来的梯子的地方（创世记28:10-22）；第二站是耶利哥，我们记得这是神的子民进入应许之地时打第一场仗的地方（约书亚记5:13 - 6:27）；第三站是约但河，百姓过这条河时走在干地上进入应许之地（约书亚记3:1-17），施洗约翰也是在这里为人们（包括为耶稣）施洗的（马太福音3:13-17）。

The first stop is Bethel, where Jacob had his dream of a ladder connecting heaven and earth and angels ascending and descending on it (Genesis 28:10-22). The second stop is Jericho, remembered as the first place of battle when the people of God entered the promised land (Joshua 5:13-6:27). The third stop is the Jordan River, which the people crossed on dry ground to enter the promised land (Joshua 3:1-17); this was also where John the Baptist would baptize people, including Jesus (Mathew 3:13-17).

到了每一站，以利亚都这样说:“耶和华差我往...... 去，你可以在这里等候。”每一次以利沙都回应说:“我指着永生的耶和华，又敢在你面前起誓，我必不离开你。”

At each stop Elijah says, “Stay here; the LORD has sent me.” And Elisha responds, “As surely as the LORD lives and as you live, I will not leave you.”

然而，当火车火马将以利沙和他的师傅隔开、以利亚乘旋风升天时，这个旅程便结束了。以利沙不但亲眼看见这件事，他更拾起以利亚的外衣，当以利沙返回耶利哥时，神容许他用这件外衣再次把约但河的水分开。约书亚昔日蒙差遣跟随摩西，现今我们清楚看见，以利沙也同样蒙召跟随以利亚。神的差遣就是这样持续不断下去。

The journey ends, though, when chariots and horses of fire separate Elisha from his master and Elijah goes up to heaven in a whirlwind. Elisha not only sees this happen, but he also takes up the cloak of Elijah, which God allows him to use in parting the waters of the Jordan River again on his way back to Jericho. Just as Joshua was appointed to follow Moses, it’s clear that Elisha was appointed to follow Elijah. The mission of God continues.

祷告 | Prayer

有权力和大能的神，愿祢的差遣持续不断，又愿祢灵的能力坚固和装备我们，好叫我们能尽上我们的本份。奉耶稣的名祷告，阿们。

God of power and might, may your mission continue, and may we be strengthened and equipped to do our part by the power of your Spirit. Amen.
