马太福音-Matthew 12章20~21节

12:20 压伤的芦苇,祂不折断;将残的火把,祂不吹灭,直到祂施行公理,至于得胜。
  A bruised reed He will not break, and smoking flax He will not quench until He brings forth justice unto victory.
12:21 外邦人都要仰望祂的名。”
  And in His name will the Gentiles hope.”

Enlightenment:

Some of the Lord’s people are like the bruised reed that cannot give a musical sound; others are like the smoking flax that cannot give a shining light. Yet the Lord will not break the bruised ones or quench the smoking ones. Although the Lord was rejected, He was still merciful. Even those who had become bruised reeds He would not break, and those who had become smoking flax He would not quench. Rather, He would still keep open the door of mercy and grace to them all.

You may reject Him today, but He will still be merciful to you. Tomorrow if you say, “Lord Jesus, I repent,” He will deal with you lovingly. What a merciful Savior He is! He will never break a bruised reed or quench smoking flax. Rather, He would wait for you to receive His mercy and grace.

亮光

主的百姓有些就像压伤的芦苇,不能吹出乐音;有些就像冒烟的火把,不能发出亮光。然而,主不折断压伤的芦苇,也不吹灭冒烟的火把。虽然主被弃绝,但祂还是满了怜悯。甚至那些成为压伤之芦苇的人,祂也不折断;那些成为将残之火把的人,祂也不吹灭。反之,祂仍愿向他们众人敞开怜悯和恩典的门。

今天你也许弃绝祂,可是祂还是怜悯你。明天你若说,“主耶稣,我悔改,”祂就会慈爱的对待你。祂是何等一位怜悯的救主!祂绝不折断压伤的芦苇,也不吹灭将残的火把。祂会等待你接受祂的怜悯和恩典。
