6/18

耶稣的第一批门徒，有的人跟随他要找到他的住址，以为这样就可以一劳永逸地找到弥塞亚了;有的人跟随他，因为别人介绍;有的跟随他，因为他们内心品质被看到了。但是后来我们看见，其实他们都不是真实地认识弥赛亚。今天我跟随主，我要的是什么?是他的帮助?是因为人的关系?是因为主能够看穿我的隐情，甚至责备我的罪?还是因为别的?我需要常常思考这个问题。拿出一个答案不难，但是拿出一个真的是自己的想法不那么容易。我们知道太多的标准答案，但是我内心的真实想法呢?主啊，愿你像你当天启示拿但业那样，你今天也照亮我内里的光景，让我真实地省察内里服侍和跟随你的动机。

耶稣最先呼召的这三人也是他事工中最核心的三个人，他们作为渔夫在刚开始经历事业的第一个高峰就激流勇退，跟随了耶稣，完全放弃了事业。 被从屋顶放下来的瘫子所要的是身体得到医治，而耶稣却说你的罪要被赦免，完全牛头不对马嘴。但是，上帝想我们得到的和我们自己想要的往往也是南辕北辙的。我们只能相信上帝所给的是最好的，就像这个瘫子，他只是想身体得医治而已，但是得到的却是整个人的医治。如果耶稣让他二者选一，他可能毫不犹豫选择只是疾病得好，却不知更重要的是灵魂的治疗。耶稣怜悯他，没有给他做这个困难的选择题。
