Gen. 26 - 以撒 · 挖井的人

From Kwan Thai Chun

以撒 · 挖井的人 (创26:1-5 ；12-33) 提要 :
    神向以撒显现，特别嘱咐他不要下埃及去，虽然面临饥荒，以撒仍顺服了，就住在基拉耳。他在那里耕种，一年有百倍的收成。明明是饥荒，怎么会有百倍的收成呢？因为耶和华赐福给他，他就昌大，日增月盛，成了大富户，牛群羊群多得连非利士人都嫉妒他。（创26:12-14）
    在创世记26章里面，以撒共挖了四口井，位置从基拉耳到别是巴一带地方。第一口井叫埃色(相争的意思) (创26:19，20) ；第二口井叫西提拿（为敌的意思）（创26:21）；第三口井叫利沙伯（宽阔的意思）(创26:22)；第四口井是祭坛旁的井(创26:25)，井在圣经中是代表灵里深处的生活，也是神要以撒所过的生活，在深处的灵里遇见神。
    当纷争来到的时候，以撒一再的退让，他一直被排挤，从基拉耳到基拉耳谷，一口井挖好了给出去，另外挖了一口井再给出去，以后再挖一口井，人就不再来争竞了。他说，耶和华给了我们宽阔之地，我们必在这地昌盛，这是神给他儿女的道路。

Subject: "Should I Forgive A Brother Who Won't Repent?" Speaker: Don Blackwell Scripture: Luke 17:1-3 Website: https://www.willowcofc.net/ Willow Avenue Church of Christ Video: https://www.youtube.com/live/G0CwQfl3YMo?si=Y5PyqjXAxuOiTVX8 Then Peter came to Jesus, and he said, Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him.  Up to seven times? Jesus said to him, I do not say to you up to seven times, but up to 70 times seven.  (Mt 18:21-22). Brethren, I want to suggest to you this morning that questions about forgiving a brother who has sinned against you is not a new thing. They existed even when the Lord was on this earth. And they are troubling enough that one of the apostles felt the need to come and ask Jesus directly about it. How frequently should I forgive my brother? I mean, my patience runs out sometimes. I mean, sometimes enough is enough. Where do I draw the line? Peter said, is seven times enough? You know, I've got the idea that Peter

Together: Forgive One Another

From:  Brent Kercheville - West Palm Beach church of Christ False Understanding of Forgiveness In our culture, forgiveness is a unilateral internal effort to get my own emotions under control. It is a therapeutic view of forgiveness. Forgiveness is about me. We see this in the way the word “forgiveness” is used. For example, we will hear people say that you need to forgive yourself. This does not make sense using the word biblically. The scriptures never say to forgive yourself. But what people mean about forgiving yourself is this unilateral internal effort to get your own emotions under control and move yourself to some sort of happy place. This is not a biblical view but you can see why there is confusion when we discuss forgiveness from a biblical basis.  Another example of this misunderstanding of forgiveness is that you will hear people say that they have forgiven God or cannot forgive God. This is also nonsensical and ultimately blasphemous since God cannot do wrong and has done
