试探神

马太福音4:7b  不可试探主你的神。

5 魔鬼就带他进了圣城，叫他站在殿顶上， 6 对他说：「你若是神的儿子，可以跳下去！因为经上记着说：『主要为你吩咐他的使者用手托着你，免得你的脚碰在石头上。』」 7 耶稣对他说：「经上又记着说：『不可试探主你的神。』」

再一次，魔鬼问耶稣：「你若是神的儿子，可以跳下去！」这回耶稣站在圣城的圣殿殿顶上。圣殿是神的家，也是神在地上的居处。魔鬼还引用神的话：「主要为你吩咐他的使者用手托着你，免得你的脚碰在石头上。」在圣殿的殿顶，圣殿里有施恩的宝座，假如神看见耶稣跳下去，岂不伸出手来接住耶稣，让他不会掉下去，粉身碎骨？

Today we begin the book of Joel.  Not much is known about Joel.  We do know that he was a prophet living in Jerusalem and his name means “Jehovah is his God”.  His dad’s name was Pethuel (meaning “Vision of God”).  Many scholars believe Joel was probably written soon after the Israelites returned from exile in Babylon in 538 B.C., but there are numerous other theories as well.  That said, Joel is a powerful book with some important lessons for us today.  Let’s go!

四十昼夜

马太福音4:1-2_四十昼夜

1当时，耶稣被圣灵引到旷野，受魔鬼的试探。 2 他禁食四十昼夜，后来就饿了。

摩西为了领受神的十诫石版，在山上住了四十昼夜，没有吃饭，也没有喝水(申9:9)。又因为以色列人制造金牛犊，拜金牛犊，大大得罪了神，神要灭绝以色列人。在这样的危机里，摩西在神面前俯伏了四十昼夜(申9:25)，为百姓代求。
