【读圣经学英语】耶稣在海上行走

约翰福音-John 6 章 19~24节

6:19 门徒摇橹约行了五、六公里,看见耶稣在海上行走,渐渐近了船,他们就害怕。
Then, when they had rowed about twenty-five or thirty stadia, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the boat, and they became frightened.
6:20 耶稣对他们说,是我,不要怕。
But He said to them, It is I. Do not be afraid.
6:21 门徒这才乐意接祂上船,船立刻到了他们所要去的地方。
Then they were willing to take Him into the boat; and immediately the boat was at the land to which they were going.
6:22 第二日,站在海那边的群众,看见那里除了一只小船以外,没有别的船,又知道耶稣没有同祂的门徒上船,乃是门徒自己去的。
The next day the crowd which stood on the other side of the sea saw that there had been no other small boat there except one, and that Jesus had not gotten into the boat with His disciples, but that His disciples had gone away alone.
6:23 另有几只小船从提比哩亚来,靠近主祝谢后,众人吃饼的地方。
But other small boats from Tiberias came near to the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks.
6:24 群众见耶稣和祂的门徒都不在那里,就上了小船,往迦百农去找耶稣。
So when the crowd saw that Jesus was not there, nor His disciples, they themselves got into the small boats and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.

亮光

耶稣在海上行走。(约六19。)这表征主能克服人生一切的困扰。祂能行走在人生困扰的波涛上,将一切的困扰踏在脚下。基督行走在一切波涛之上。似乎波涛越多,祂越喜欢行走其上。波涛惊骇了祂的门徒,祂却踏在其上。祂似乎说,『鬼,掀起更大的波涛吧!我就更高兴,我可以行走在你的波涛上。』这就是赐平安的基督。

当门徒接祂上了船,船立刻到了他们所要去的地方。(约六21。)你要有平安的一生吗?若要如此,你就必须将耶稣接到你的『船』上。你的『船』可能是你的婚姻生活、家庭或事业。祂若来到你的『船』上,你在人生的旅途中,就能与祂同享平安。你若将基督接到你的婚姻中,你的婚姻就平安。你若将祂接到你的家庭里,你的家庭就平安。你若将祂接受到工作里,你的工作就平安。没有基督,世界是饥饿的;没有基督,世界也是受困扰的。但有了祂,我们就有满足和平安。祂是喂养的基督,也是赐平安的基督。赞美主!

Enlightenment:

Jesus walked on the sea (6:19). This signifies that the Lord can overrule all the troubles of human life. He can walk on the troubling waves of human life, and all the unrest is under His feet. Christ walked on top of all the waves. It seemed that the more waves there were, the more He enjoyed walking upon them. The waves terrified His disciples, but He trod upon them. He seemed to say, “Demons, please cause bigger waves. Then I will have more enjoyment. I can walk on top of your waves.” This is the peace-giving Christ.

When the disciples took Him into their boat, immediately the boat was at the land to which they were going (6:21). Do you want to have a peaceful life? If you do, then you must take Jesus into your “boat.” Your “boat” may be your married life, family, or occupation. When He comes into your “boat,” you will enjoy peace with Him on the journey of human life. If you receive Christ into your marriage, your marriage will be peaceful. If you receive Him into your family, your family will be at peace. If you accept Him into your job, your job will be peaceful. Without Christ, the world is hungry. Without Christ, the world is also troubled. But with Him, we have satisfaction and peace. He is the feeding Christ and the peace-giving Christ. Praise the Lord!
