马太福音-Matthew 5章29~30节
| 5:29 |
若是你的右眼叫你绊跌，就剜出来丢掉；因为你肢体中的一个丧失了，强于你全身扔在火坑里。 So if your right eye stumbles you, pluck it out and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish than for your whole body to be cast into Gehenna. |
| 5:30 |
若是你的右手叫你绊跌，就砍下来丢掉；因为你肢体中的一个丧失了，强于你全身往火坑里去。 And if your right hand stumbles you, cut it off and cast it from you, for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish than for your whole body to pass away into Gehenna. |
Enlightenment:
According to the Lord’s word in verses 29 and 30, it is possible for saved persons to be cast into Gehenna. This means that even the saved ones may be hurt by the second death. In Revelation 2:11 the Lord Jesus said, “He who overcomes shall by no means be hurt of the second death.” As we have pointed out, Gehenna is a symbol of the lake of fire, which is the second death (Rev. 20:15). The Lord’s word in Revelation 2:11 indicates that it is possible for believers to be hurt by the second death. The Lord’s word in Revelation 2:11 corresponds to His word in Matthew 5:29 and 30. As a saved one, if you are not serious in dealing with this kind of sin, you will some day be hurt by the second death. As the Lord Jesus says here, you will be cast into Gehenna. This does not mean that you will perish; it means that you will be disciplined. Furthermore, the Gehenna of fire does not refer to the purgatory of Catholicism. But this word on Gehenna warns you that if you are not serious in dealing with this sin today, when the Lord Jesus comes back, He will exercise His judgment over you.
亮光
按照主在二十九、三十节的话，得救的人有可能被扔在火坑里。这就是说，甚至得救的人，也可能受第二次死的害。在启示录二章十一节，主耶稣说，『得胜的，绝不会受第二次死的害。』我们已经指出，火坑是火湖的象征，这火湖就是第二次的死。（启二十15。）在启示录二章十一节，主的话指明，信徒可能受第二次死的害。主在启示录二章十一节的话，符合祂在马太五章二十九、三十节的话。你是得救的人，你若不严肃的对付这种罪，将来有一天你要受第二次死的害。正如主耶稣在这里所说的，你要被扔在火坑里。这不是说你要灭亡，乃是说你要受管教。此外，火坑的火不是指天主教的炼狱。但火坑这辞警告你，如果你今天不严肃的对付这种罪，当主耶稣回来时，祂就要在你身上施行审判。
