各位弟兄姊妹平安！
今天，我們要來閱讀路加福音第六章的後半段。正如我昨天所說的，從第27節開始到最後，這一段經文是一連串關於信仰實際應用的原則。
耶穌從前面開始教導，然後逐步引導我們進入一個重要的核心信息——真正的信心需要行動來體現。這並不是說我們可以靠行為來換取救恩，而是我們的行為應該反映出我們的信仰。信心若沒有行為，就是死的（雅各書 2:17）。
這段經文將帶領我們更深入地思考：我們如何將信仰落實在日常生活中？我們是否只是聽道，還是願意行道，讓基督的教導成為我們生命的實踐？
讓我們一起來細讀，並求聖靈幫助我們將這些真理活出來！
耶穌給了我們一個極大的挑戰——一個顛覆世俗價值的總原則。
這四句話聽起來簡單，卻比雷電轟鳴更震撼人心：
你們的仇敵，要愛他們。
恨你們的，要待他們好。
咒詛你們的，要為他們祝福。
凌辱你們的，要為他們禱告。
坦白說，這段經文極難講解，也極難實踐。當我們看到耶穌在十字架上，仍為那些釘祂的人禱告，說：「父啊，赦免他們！因為他們所做的，他們不曉得。」（路加福音 23:34），我們不禁震撼——這絕對不是人能夠輕易說出來的話！這不是人的境界所能達到的愛！
回顧歷史，我們會發現古代的智者所教導的「道德標準」，遠不及耶穌的教導來得徹底。
例如，有位睿智的拉比（Rabbi），曾被人問道：「你能否用一句話總結整個律法？」他的回答是：你不願意的，不要對別人做。他認為這是律法的總綱，其餘的都是對這句話的解釋。
同樣，在中國古代，儒家的至聖先師——孔子，也曾被弟子請教：「有沒有一句話，可以終身實踐？」孔子的回答依然是：「己所不欲，勿施於人。」
這樣的教導雖然珍貴，卻仍然停留在「不要傷害別人」的層面，而耶穌卻更進一步，要求我們去愛那些傷害我們的人！
這正是基督信仰最難實踐、但也最震撼人心的地方。耶穌的愛不僅僅是消極的不報復，而是主動的愛、主動的祝福、主動的為仇敵禱告。這樣的愛，完全超越人性，唯有靠著神的力量，我們才能活出來。
試想一下——當你開車時被人強行超車，或是在排隊時有人插隊，你的第一反應是什麼？是不是立刻覺得被冒犯？是不是瞬間火氣上升，心裡充滿不平：「怎麼可以這樣對我？！」
這就是我們的本性，我們總是覺得：「我沒有虧欠你，你憑什麼來傷害我？」 我們想要爭回公道，我們認為這才是合理的。
然而，耶穌的教導卻超越了這種「合理」的標準，祂挑戰我們進入一個超乎人性的境界——即使被傷害，仍然選擇主動去愛。這樣的愛，不是來自我們的能力，而是來自神的恩典與改變人心的力量。
也很奇妙的是，當我正在思索這段經文時，我在近日的生活中親身經歷了這個挑戰。就在這個過程中，聖靈親自安慰我、感動我，對我說：
「你已經成熟了，你認識了我，你擁有了許多恩典。但現在，你能夠愛你的敵人嗎？你能夠愛那些傷害你的人嗎？」
這真的是一件極不容易的事，要真正去實踐，真的很難。但是當我慢慢明白，當我選擇去愛我的仇敵、去愛那些傷害我的人時，我的心就不再容易被傷害了。
即使對方真的對不起我，即使那些人曾經傷害過我，當我願意超越那種被傷害的感覺，我的內心就得到了醫治。我不再讓過去的仇恨繼續困擾我，我不再每次見到那個人時心裡充滿不安與憤怒。因為我知道，儘管他可能不知道自己的錯，儘管他可能不認同，甚至仍然持續傷害我，但他依然是上帝所愛的。
這正是上帝要我們去做的。 耶穌在十字架上時，仍然為那些釘祂的人禱告：「父啊，赦免他們！因為他們所做的，他們不曉得。」（路加福音 23:34）
這樣的愛，不是來自人的力量，而是來自神的恩典。當我們學習耶穌的愛，我們的心才能真正得著自由與釋放。
耶穌在講完總原則後，接下來開始教導我們如何在生活中實踐這些真理。
關於論斷他人
我們每個人或多或少都有這個問題——我們總是習慣在背後議論別人，評論某某人如何、某某人怎麼樣。然而，耶穌說：「你為什麼看見弟兄眼中的刺，卻不想自己眼中的梁木呢？」（路加福音 6:41）
當我們看別人的問題時，總覺得自己看得很清楚；但當我們審視自己時，卻常常看得不夠清楚。其實，我們指責別人的問題，往往自己也有，甚至比別人更嚴重。當我們真正忙於修改自己的問題時，就會發現根本沒時間去批評別人，因為我們自己身上有太多需要被修正的地方，一輩子都改不完！
行為是否與信仰相稱
接下來，耶穌用兩個比喻來強調行為與信仰的一致性，這與雅各書的教導相呼應——「信心若沒有行為是死的。」（雅各書 2:17）
樹與果子的比喻：一棵樹結出什麼樣的果子，就能看出它的本質。同樣地，我們的行為反映了我們的信仰。我們不可能嘴上說「敬畏上帝、相信上帝」，但行為卻與此相反，因為內心所想的，最終一定會表現在行為上。
房子的比喻：如果我們只是「聽道」，卻不去實踐，那麼當考驗與困難來臨時，我們的信仰就會像蓋在沙土上的房子一樣倒塌。但如果我們將行為奠定在聖經的教導上，將生命建造在神的話語上，即便面對風暴，我們的信仰仍然穩固，因為我們真正相信並活出了神的話語。
行為與信仰的關係
有人問我：「我們不是因信稱義，不靠行為得救嗎？那為什麼還需要行為？」
是的，行為不能讓我們得救，但行為會證明我們的信仰是否真實。 人們不會因為我們嘴上說「我信上帝」，就相信神的存在；而是會透過我們的行為，來判斷我們的信仰是否真實。
我們可以承認自己仍然軟弱，仍然有成長的空間。但是，如果我們已經信主五年、十年、二十年，卻依然說：「我還做不到」，那麼我們需要認真反思——我的信仰真的在改變嗎？我有讓自己被神雕塑嗎？
📖 今日的屬靈反思
1️⃣ 我們讀了聖經，真的進入我們心中了嗎？
2️⃣ 我們讓聖經來雕塑我們的生命了嗎？
3️⃣ 當我們被神的話語改變後，我們的行為是否與信仰相稱？
4️⃣ 透過我們的行為，別人能否從我們身上看見基督的樣式？
明天，我們將繼續閱讀《路加福音》第七章。感謝各位的聆聽，願神賜福大家！
Dear Brothers and Sisters, Peace Be with You!
Today, we will read the second half of Luke 6. As I mentioned yesterday, from verse 27 to the end, this passage is a series of practical principles for living out our faith.
Jesus begins His teaching in the previous verses, leading us step by step to a key message—true faith must be reflected in our actions. This does not mean that we can earn salvation through our works, but rather that our actions should be a manifestation of our faith. As James 2:17 says, “Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.”
This passage challenges us to reflect on how we can apply our faith in daily life. Are we merely hearers of the Word, or are we also doers, allowing Christ’s teachings to transform our lives?
Let us read together and pray for the Holy Spirit to help us live out these truths!
Jesus’ Greatest Challenge: A Principle That Defies the World’s Values
These four statements may sound simple, but they thunder louder than the mightiest storm:
Love your enemies.
Do good to those who hate you.
Bless those who curse you.
Pray for those who mistreat you.
To be honest, this passage is one of the most difficult to teach and even harder to practice. When we see Jesus praying on the cross for those who crucified Him, saying, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” (Luke 23:34), we are left in awe—these are not words that any ordinary person can say! This is a love that surpasses human capability.
When we look at history, we see that the moral standards taught by the greatest philosophers and sages do not compare to the depth of Jesus’ teaching.
For example, a wise rabbi was once asked, “Can you summarize the entire law in one sentence?” He replied, “What you do not wish for yourself, do not do to others.” He believed this was the essence of the law, and everything else was just an explanation of this principle.
Similarly, in ancient China, the renowned philosopher Confucius was asked by his disciple, “Is there one guiding principle that I can follow all my life?” His answer was also: “Do not impose on others what you do not desire for yourself.”
Although these teachings are valuable, they only focus on avoiding harm to others. Jesus, however, takes it further—He calls us to actively love even those who harm us!
This is what makes Christianity so challenging yet so powerful. Jesus' love is not just about refraining from revenge—it is proactive love, proactive blessing, and proactive prayer for our enemies. Such love is beyond human nature, and only through God's strength can we truly live it out.
Overcoming Our Nature Through God’s Love
Imagine this—when you are cut off in traffic or someone jumps ahead of you in line, what is your first reaction? Do you immediately feel offended? Do you instantly feel anger rise up, thinking, “How can they treat me like this?!”
This is our human nature—we instinctively think, “I have done nothing wrong to you, so why should you harm me?” We want to defend our rights, to fight for justice, because that seems fair.
Yet, Jesus' teaching transcends this standard of "fairness." He challenges us to step into a higher realm—one where even when we are hurt, we still choose to love. This love does not come from our strength, but from God's grace and His power to transform hearts.
A Personal Challenge: Can You Love Your Enemies?
Interestingly, as I was reflecting on this passage, I personally encountered a situation in my life that tested this very teaching. In that moment, the Holy Spirit comforted and challenged me, saying:
"You have grown in faith. You know Me. You have received many blessings. But now—can you love your enemies? Can you love those who hurt you?"
This is not easy. It is incredibly difficult. But as I slowly came to understand, when I choose to love my enemies, to love those who have hurt me, I am no longer bound by the pain they caused me.
Even if they truly wronged me, even if they continue to hurt me, when I rise above the pain, my heart is healed. I am no longer controlled by past grudges. I am no longer filled with bitterness every time I see that person.
Because I know that, despite their actions, they are still loved by God. They may not realize it. They may not agree. They may even continue their wrongdoings. But this is exactly what God calls us to do.
Jesus, on the cross, prayed for those who crucified Him: “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” (Luke 23:34)
This kind of love does not come from human will—it comes from God’s grace. Only by learning from Jesus can our hearts be truly set free.
Living Out the Truth: Jesus’ Practical Teachings
After giving us the foundational principle, Jesus moves on to practical teachings on how to live out these truths.
On Judging Others
We all struggle with this—we love to talk about others behind their backs, discussing what so-and-so did. But Jesus says:
“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?” (Luke 6:41)
We always think we see others' faults clearly, but when it comes to our own faults, we are blind. In reality, the same issues we criticize in others may be even worse in ourselves.
If we spend our time working on our own weaknesses, we will realize we have no time to fix others, because there is so much in ourselves that needs transformation!
Faith and Actions Must Align
Jesus then shares two parables that emphasize how our actions must align with our faith, just as James 2:17 states:
The Tree and Its Fruit: A tree is known by the fruit it produces. Our actions reveal our true faith. We cannot say we "fear and trust God" while living a life that contradicts His teachings. What is inside us will always be reflected in our actions.
The House on the Rock: If we only listen but do not put God's Word into practice, when challenges arise, our faith will collapse like a house built on sand. However, if we establish our actions on the foundation of Scripture, we will stand firm even in life’s storms.
Faith vs. Actions: Do They Align?
Some may ask, "Aren’t we saved by faith, not by works? Then why do our actions matter?"
Yes, works do not save us, but they prove the authenticity of our faith.
People will not believe in God just because we say we do. They will judge our faith based on how we live.
We can admit we are still growing, but if we have been believers for five, ten, or twenty years and still say, "I can’t do this," then we must ask ourselves—Has my faith truly changed me? Have I allowed God to shape me?
📖 Spiritual Reflection for Today
1️⃣ Have we truly taken in what we read in the Bible?
2️⃣ Have we allowed Scripture to shape our lives?
3️⃣ Do our actions align with the transformation we claim to have received?
4️⃣ Through our actions, can others see Christ in us?
Tomorrow, we will continue reading Luke 7. Thank you for listening. May God bless you all! 🙏
