【读圣经学英语】鬼岂能开瞎子的眼睛?

约翰福音-John 10 章 21~26节

10:21 另有人说,这不是鬼附的人所说的话。鬼岂能开瞎子的眼睛?
Others said, These are not the words of one who is demon possessed. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind? 
10:22 在耶路撒冷有献殿节,那时正是冬天。
At that time the Feast of the Dedication occurred in Jerusalem, and it was winter. 
10:23 耶稣在殿里所罗门的廊下行走。
And Jesus was walking in the temple in the portico of Solomon. 
10:24 犹太人围着祂,说,你叫我们的心悬疑不定到几时?你若是基督,就明明的告诉我们。
The Jews therefore surrounded Him and said to Him, How long will You hold our soul in suspense? If You are the Christ, tell us plainly. 
10:25 耶稣回答他们说,我已经告诉你们,你们不信;我在我父的名里所行的事,为我作见证;
Jesus answered them, I told you, and you do not believe. The works which I do in My Father's name, these testify concerning Me; 
10:26 只是你们不信,因为你们不是属我的羊。
But you do not believe, because you are not of My sheep.

亮光

约翰十章二十一节帮助我们领会十章是九章的延续,因为那里题出一个问题:『鬼岂能开瞎子的眼睛?』不过,这两章是论到不同的点。在这两章里,启示了主所是的两个主要方面:主叫瞎子看见,和主在宗教之外牧养祂的信徒。

你若跟随主作你的牧人,就会激起一场风暴,逼得你从圈中出来。你无须挣扎或努力来跟从主耶稣出羊圈,因为只要你跟从祂,那个老宗教就会逼你出去。他们会把你赶出去。你越跟从这位活的耶稣,宗教就越要逼你出去。宗教忍受不了主耶稣,而主耶稣也绝不会留在宗教中。这两者是绝对不同的,绝不可能一致。耶稣是生命,宗教是生命以外的东西。活的耶稣就是不能忍受宗教。赞美主,我们都在宗教之外,并且在青绿的草场上得到喂养!草场当然不在圈中,乃在圈外。你若要享受草场,就必须从圈中出来。你一旦从圈中出来,就在草场上了。阿利路亚!

Enlightenment:

John 10:21 helps us to realize that chapter ten is a continuation of chapter nine, for the question is asked, “Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?” Nevertheless, each chapter covers a different point. In these two chapters, two major aspects of the Lord’s being are revealed: the Lord’s giving sight to the blind and the Lord’s shepherding of the believers outside of religion.

If you follow the Lord as your shepherd, it will stir up a storm that will force you out of the fold. You do not need to strive or to exercise any effort to follow the Lord Jesus out of the fold, for, as long as you follow Him, the old religion will force you to get out. They will cast you out. The more you follow this living Jesus, the more religion will force you out. Religion cannot put up with Jesus, and Jesus will never remain in religion. These two are absolutely different, and there is no possibility of reconciling them. Jesus is life, and religion is something other than life. The living Jesus simply cannot tolerate religion. Praise the Lord that we are all out of religion and are feeding on the green pasture! The pasture certainly is not in the fold; it is outside of the fold. If you are going to enjoy the pasture, you must come out of the fold. Once you come out of the fold, you will find yourself in the pasture. Hallelujah!
