马太福音-Matthew 5章27~28节

5:27 你们听见有话说,“不可奸淫。”
You have heard that it was said, "You shall not commit adultery.''
5:28 但是我告诉你们,凡看妇女,有意贪恋她的,心里已经与她犯奸淫了。
But I say to you that every one who looks at a woman in order to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

Enlightenment:

In Matthew 5 the Lord Jesus spoke about murder and adultery. Murder refers to our temper, and adultery, to our lust. Our temper and our lust constantly damage and trouble us. If we were stone, we would not be bothered by these two things. No matter how much you irritate, insult, or offend a stone, it will never react, because it does not have any temper. Furthermore, a stone has no lust. Thus, it can never be tempted by lust. But daily we are either troubled by our temper or tempted by our lust. 

In order to live up to a moral standard higher than that of the old law, you must overcome your temper and your lusts. You may say that this is not easy to do. Right, it is not easy. This is why you need Christ. This is why you need another life. How we need to stay with Christ! We must contact Him not only day by day, but even hour by hour. Because of the temper and lust within us, we need to remain in constant fellowship with Him. 

亮光

在马太五章,主耶稣说到杀人和奸淫。杀人指我们的脾气,奸淫指我们的情欲。我们的脾气和情欲一直破坏、困扰我们。我们若是石头,就不会受这两件事的干扰。无论你怎么激动、侮辱或冒犯一块石头,它绝不会有反应,因为它没有脾气;此外,石头也没有情欲,因此,它绝不会受情欲的试诱。但我们每天不是受脾气的困扰,就是受情欲的试诱。

为了要活出比旧律法的道德标准更高的生活,你必须胜过你的脾气和情欲。你也许说这不容易作到。不错,这不容易。这就是你需要基督,需要另一个生命的原因。我多么需要与基督同在!我们不只需要天天接触祂,甚至需要时时接触祂。因着我们里面的脾气和情欲,我们需要留在与祂不断的交通里。
