约翰福音-John 21章10~11节

21:10 耶稣对他们说,把刚才打的鱼,拿几条来。
Jesus said to them, Bring some of the fish that you have just now caught.
21:11 西门彼得就去,把网拉到岸上,那网满了大鱼,共一百五十三条;鱼虽这样多,网却没有破。
Simon Peter therefore went up and hauled the net to the land full of large fish, a hundred and fifty-three; and though there were so many, the net was not torn.

Enlightenment:

The Lord showed them that some fish had been prepared already. Thus, there was no need for them to go to the sea. In effect, the Lord was saying, “If I want you to go to the sea to catch some fish, then I will tell you to do it. Look at these one hundred fifty-three fish. There is no need for these fish, for I have already prepared some fish for you.”

The matter of our living is very practical. This is why the Gospel of John has this additional chapter. Since we are the sons of God who have been regenerated and committed with the divine commission, the Lord will certainly take care of our living. We must learn the lesson of not giving up the Lord’s commission because of our living. We must not give up the Lord’s burden in order to care for our existence. We are not the people of the world; we are the children of God. We must seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and then the Lord will add the practical supply to us (Matt. 6:33).  He will take care of our need. 

亮光

主给他们看见有些鱼已经预备好了,所以他们不需要出海。实际上主在说,『我若要你们出海打些鱼,我会叫你们去的。看这一百五十三条鱼。根本就不需要这些鱼,因为我已经为你们预备了一些鱼。』

我们的生活是非常实际的事。这就是约翰福音加上这一章的原因。我们既是神的众子,已被重生且受托以神圣的使命,主当然会照顾我们的生活。我们必须学功课,不要因着生活而放弃主的使命。我们不可为了顾自己的生存而放下主的负担。我们不是世人;我们是神的儿女。我们必须先寻求神的国和祂的义,那么主就会将实际的供应加给我们。(太六33。)祂会照顾我们的需要。
