虽然我们不能像马提亚那样

与人分享自己亲眼见到的事情，

然而神仍然呼召我们

去为耶稣作见证。

见证人

是我们的祝福

The Blessing Of Witnesses

“立一位与我们同作耶稣复活的见证。”

—徒 1:22

“One of these must become a witness with us of his resurrection.” — Acts 1:22

🙏 灵修

我曾经是个律师，接触过许多见证人。我的工作范围是保险赔偿，所以，我大部份经手的个案都是和失足跌倒或交通意外有关的。我发觉到，善于观察的证人真是非常罕有的。注意力不集中容易引起意外，但很多人都习惯了这样过日子的。

As a former attorney, I dealt a lot with witnesses. I worked in the area of insurance defense, and slips and falls and car accidents were the focus of most of my cases. I learned that observant witnesses can be really hard to find. Inattention leads to many accidents, and that is also a feature of the way many people live their lives.

在解释信徒们需要找一个人来取代犹大时，彼得清楚指出，成为十二使徒的其中一个先决条件，是这人要在耶稣在世传道的日子中，曾一直与祂和其他门徒在一起。换句话说，这人必须要是一个可靠的见证人。

As Peter explains that the believers need to identify one person to replace Judas, he makes clear that the key qualification for becoming one of the twelve apostles is that one needs to have been with Jesus and the disciples throughout Jesus’ ministry on earth. This person has to be a reliable witness.

多一个见证人有什么好处呢？圣经学者们都同意，他们要把一个传统传流下去，就是从以色列的十二支派到十二使徒，他们要把耶稣的福音传到万邦。而加添马提亚，便使使徒的数目恢复到十二个人了。

What good is adding another witness? Bible scholars agree that a parallel is being carried forward—from the twelve tribes of Israel to the twelve apostles, who will take the good news of Jesus to the whole world. Adding Matthias will restore the number of apostles to twelve.

此外，使徒们明白，他们需要优秀的见证人，来向人传讲耶稣；若要成就耶稣交付给他们的使命，他们需要有见证人，把耶稣的一生、死亡，和复活的信息传开去。

Further, the apostles understand that good witnesses are needed to tell others about Jesus. Witnesses are needed to bring a message about the reality of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection to fulfill the mission that Jesus has given them.

在今天，我们仍然需要有见证人，虽然我们不能像马提亚那样与人分享自己亲眼见到的事情，然而神仍然呼召我们去为耶稣作见证。

Witnesses are still needed today as well. We may not be able to give a first-hand account like Matthias, but we are still called to be witnesses for Jesus.

🙏 祷告

亲爱的神，愿我们能清楚地为耶稣作见证。当我们向人见证救主耶稣是我们生命的主时，求祢赐我们勇气去做忠心的见证人。奉祂的名祈求，阿们。

Prayer

Dear God, may our witness for Jesus be clear. Grant us courage in being faithful witnesses as we give testimony about the Savior as the Lord of our lives. In his name, Amen.
