勝利之路(一)(馬太福音第廿六章1至16節)

自從主騎驢榮耀進耶京那天,已踏入祂在世上最後的一週,那天正是禮拜日,跟著的禮拜一,祂作了末次潔淨聖殿的舉動,又咒詛不結實的無花果樹(太21:18,可11:12-14)。禮拜二那天,除了被咒詛的樹枯乾了(太21:20-22,可11:20-26),主又為耶路撒冷嘆息(太23:37-39)﹔稱讚寡婦的奉獻(可12:41-44,路21:1-4)﹔預言自己過兩天被釘十字架(太26:1-5,可14:1-4,路22:1-2):馬利亞用香膏膏主(太26:6-13,可14:3-9,約12:2-8),她是為主安葬的(12節),與另外一個不記名婦人膏主之事件不同(路7:36-50),那位婦人是為了罪被赦免而表示愛主之心。

勝利之路(二)(馬太福音第廿六章17至29節)

(續昨)最後,這天猶大見大祭司洽商賣主了(太26:14-16,可14:10-11,路22:3-6),如果貪心是猶大背叛主的理由,這就是歷史上貪愛金錢所造成最可怕後果的例子。主耶穌在世上最後一週的禮拜三並沒有任何活動,似是為禮拜四的逾越節晚餐作準備:(1) 在逾越節晚餐前的準備是奇妙的,當十二門徒都到齊,主就在席上宣佈他們中間有一個要賣祂,而祂自己必要去世(太26:17-25,可14:12,路22:7-18,21-30,約13:18-30)。(2) 在晚餐前主親自替門徒洗腳(約13:1-17)為的是給門徒作榜樣。(3) 在席上,拿起餅和葡萄酒設立聖餐,並吩咐今後以此聖禮記念祂(太26:26-29,可14:22-25,路22:19-20)。

勝利之路(三)(馬太福音第廿六章30節至第廿七章10節)

(續昨)那一天,主又為門徒和屬祂的人禱告(約17:1-26),在整個禱告中,祂為自己(1-8節)、為門徒(9-19節)及為教會(20-26節)禱告,主對我們的期望乃是:「父怎樣差我到世上,我也照樣差他們(跟隨祂的人)到世上,我為他們的緣故,自己分別為聖,叫他們也因真理成聖。」今日經文是禮拜五,主傷心的禱告,被跟隨了祂三年的猶大用親嘴作暗號使祂被捉拿,其他門徒也離棄了主(太26:30, 36-56,可14:26, 32-52,路22:39-54,約18:1-12)。在主禱告時,門徒竟都睡著了,以致祂提醒他們:「總要儆醒禱告,免得入了迷惑,你們心靈固然願意,肉體卻軟弱了」(41節),我們也當常常儆醒禱告。

勝利之路(四)(馬太福音第廿七章11至32節)

主被捉拿後,在猶太人領袖前受審(1節,可15:1,路22:66-71),在這時刻,勇於自我表達的彼得竟三次不認主(太26:69-75,可14:66-72,路22:55-62,約18:25-27),後來他想起主事前對他們說的一番話(路22:31, 32)使他餘下的日子活得更有見證。而猶大的悲劇(3-10節),乃是錯誤估計自己的計劃。我們決不能利用主來達到我們自己的目的,我們必須把自己交在祂的手中,讓祂憑自己的旨意使用我們。主耶穌被帶到羅馬官員前受審(2,11-26節,可15:1-15,路23:1-25,約18:28至19:16),只要看看彼拉多和希律的你推我讓,就知道他們查不出主耶穌有什麼罪,而彼拉多夫人打發人給他的忠告(19節)更加證實了這一點。

勝利之路(五)(馬太福音第廿七章33至66節)

(續昨)彼拉多用消極的方法(24節)處理主耶穌受審的事,而可憐且可悲的百姓竟說出了承擔後果的話(25節)。其後,主被帶到各各他釘十字架,當我們提及這事件,好像時間過得很快,馬可則記載得很精確:主耶穌在上午九時被釘(15:25),而在下午三時死了(15:34)。換而言之,祂在十字架上懸掛了六個小時,直到黃昏前有亞利馬太的約瑟去見彼拉多,求將主的身體領去葬在一個新的墳墓裡,而兵丁則奉命嚴嚴看守墳墓。禮拜六黃昏後,首先到墳墓去看的是幾位愛主的婦女(太28:1,可16:1),她們親眼看見主復活戰勝死亡的威榮(28:2-4),天使告訴她們為此要相信、要宣揚主已經復活了、要歡樂(28:5-8)。

勝利之路(六)(馬太福音第廿八章1至15節)

(續昨)彼得和約翰也不甘後人地奔往主耶穌的墳前(路24:12,約20:2-10),兵丁也將親眼看見主復活的事實向祭司長報告(11-15節)。在主復活後四十日中,主耶穌先後向馬利亞、以馬忤斯的兩個門徒、向十個跟隨了祂三年的門徒、多疑的多馬、在提比哩亞海邊的門徒顯現(9-15節,可16:9-14,路24:13-49,約20:11至21:23),並且曾經一時向五百多個弟兄顯現(林前15:6)。主復活了,成為睡了的人初熟的果子,祂戰勝了死亡,使凡「口裡認耶穌為主,心裡信上帝叫祂從死裡復活,就必得救」(羅10:9)。我們不單只享受了這救恩,也要學習在主復活那天像愛主的婦女們一般地歡樂、宣揚主已經復活了。

主的使命(馬太福音第廿八章16至20節﹔馬可福音第十六章15至20節)

主耶穌在復活後四十日就升天了,雖然有些門徒仍心硬不信(17節),路加注意到主再一次的訓勉(路24:44-46)。故他們都異口同聲提醒我們作基督徒的使命:「我們知道祂的見証是真的」(約21:24),「耶穌進前來對他們說:『天上地下所有的權柄都賜給我了,所以你們要去,使萬民作我的門徒,奉父子聖靈的名給他們施洗,凡我所吩咐你們的,都教訓他們遵守,我就常與你們同在,直到世界的末了。』」(18-20節)今天,你要熟記這三節經文,並請細心查閱馬可福音16:15-18及路加福音24:47-49。現在,你對主的一生應該已有了清楚的認識。我們要肩負起主的使命,努力為主打那美好的仗(可16:19, 20)。
