亚拿和西面——坚忍的信心

Patient Anna And Simeon

“他得了圣灵的启示，知道自己未死以前，必看见主所立的基督。” - 路 2:26

"It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not die before he had seen the Lord's Messiah." — Luke 2:26

🙏 灵修

一位老人站在圣殿里，手抱着一个婴孩，他是发出咯咯笑声，还是怀着惊叹的沉思？只见他宣告说，他已经看见神的救恩，他可以安然离世了。

An old man stands in the temple with a baby in his arms. Chuckling with giddy joy, or lost in wonder? Then he announces that he has seen God's salvation and he can die in peace.

但西面究竟看到了什么？那不过是一个小孩子在他怀里，一个还不会说话的初生婴孩。无论这个婴孩将带来怎样的救恩，都还只是个应许和盼望。但西面站在那里，感恩期待于他手中捧着的未来。

But what has Simeon seen, really? It's just a little child in his arms, a speechless newcomer to the world. Whatever salvation this baby might work is still only a promise and a hope. But Simeon stands there in grateful anticipation at the future he holds in his hands.

然后女先知亚拿出来了，同样是年老而接近生命的终点。她的出场又为当下增添更多喜乐和赞美。

Then there is the prophet Anna, also old and approaching the end of her days. She adds to the joy and praise of the moment.

当耶稣长大成人时，西面和亚拿应该已经去世了。他们不会亲眼看见耶稣这位人类的救主所作的一切。但怀着一个坚忍的信心，他们已经看到神是忠于祂曾应许的。

By the time Jesus becomes a grown man, Simeon and Anna will have died. They will not be able to see with their own eyes what Jesus does as the Savior of the world. But in their patient faith they saw enough to know that God is true to his promises.

今天，我们比他们知道得更多，因为我们知道了接下来的福音故事。我们也盼望更多，因为尝过天国的滋味后，我们便渴慕耶稣再来，天国完全来到。

Today we know more than they did, for we have the rest of the gospel story. And we hope for more. Having tasted the kingdom's presence, we hunger and thirst for its coming completely when Jesus comes again.

但现在，愿我们坚定在这坚忍的信心中，就像西面和亚拿一样说：“我们已经看见了祂，这已经足够了。我们知道，并深信主会持守祂的应许。”

But for now, may we stand here in patient faith, like Anna and Simeon, and say, "We have seen him, and that's enough for now. We know and trust that the Lord will keep his promises."

🙏 祷告

圣洁的神，求祢以惊异和力量充满我们的心，使我们坚忍等候祢荣耀的彰显，我们在主基督里已经看见了这荣耀。奉祂的名祷告，阿们。

Prayer
