【读圣经学英语】神的儿子

马太福音-Matthew 5章9节

5:9 制造和平的人有福了,因为他们必称为神的儿子。
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the sons of God.

Enlightenment:

In all of the first seven blessings we see that we should not be fighters or troublemakers; rather, we must be peacemakers, always making peace with others. If we are peacemakers, we shall be called the sons of God. The sons of the Devil make trouble, but the sons of God make peace. As the Son of God, the Lord Jesus made peace with God and man. Now, as the sons of God, we must follow Him to make peace. Then we shall be called the sons of God.

Our Father is the God of peace (Rom. 15:33; 16:20), who has a peaceful life with a peaceful nature. As those born of Him, if we would be the peacemakers, we must behave in His divine life, according to His divine nature. Thus, we shall express His life and nature, and we shall be called sons of God.

亮光

在前面七福中我们看见,我们不该是争的人,或制造麻烦的人;反之,我们必须是制造和平的人,总是与别人和睦。我们若是制造和平的人,就必称为神的儿子。魔鬼的儿子制造麻烦,神的儿子却制造和平。主耶稣是神的儿子,对神和人都制造和平。如今我们是神的众子,就必须跟随祂制造和平。这样我们就必称为神的儿子。

 我们的父是平安(和平)的神,(罗十五33,十六20,)有和平的生命与和平的性情。我们是从祂生的,我们若要成为制造和平的人,就必须照祂神圣的性情,凭祂神圣的生命行事为人。这样,我们就能彰显祂的生命和性情,并得称为神的儿子。
