马太福音-Matthew 3章4节
| 3:4 |
约翰身穿骆驼毛的衣服，腰束皮带，吃的是蝗虫野蜜。 Now this John had his garment of camel's hair and a leather girdle around his loins, and his food was locusts and wild honey. |
Enlightenment:
John was truly outside religion and culture. He not only ate wild things, but he also wore camel’s hair. Notice that the Bible does not say that he wore camel’s fur, which would have been somewhat orderly, but camel’s hair, which certainly must have been messy. Furthermore, his leather girdle was probably not very refined. John was truly “wild.” Nevertheless this real priest was the recommender of the King.
From the time of John the Baptist until today, a great many people have been brought back to God through the ministry of John. Whenever we tell others to repent, we should remember John the Baptist.
亮光
约翰真是在宗教和文化之外。他不只吃野生的东西，他还穿骆驼毛。请注意，圣经不是说他穿骆驼皮，乃是说他穿骆驼毛；骆驼皮还有点整齐，但骆驼毛必然很杂乱。不仅如此，他的皮带可能不很精致。约翰真是『野。』然而这位真祭司却是王的引荐者。
从施浸者约翰的时代直到今天，许许多多人已藉着约翰的职事被带回归神。每当我们劝人悔改时，我们就该想到施浸者约翰。
