" 神离弃我吗？"

读经: 诗篇22篇1-21节

我的神！我的神！为什么离弃我？-马太福音27章46节

     在鲁益师的《地狱来鸿》一书中，描绘大魔鬼写给小魔鬼的书信内容，讨论该如何有效地引诱一位基督徒。这两个魔鬼想要摧毁基督徒对神的信心。大魔鬼写给小魔鬼说：「你要小心哦！当一个人环顾宇宙，似乎看不到神以及祂的作为，心里充满被抛弃的疑问，然而他却还能顺服神，这时，我们神圣的把戏就面临破功的危险了。」

     从圣经里我们看到，许多人虽然感到被抛弃，却仍然持守信心行事。亚伯兰以为神已经忘记曾应许要赐他后嗣（创世记15章2-3节） 。诗人在患难中觉得被神忽视（诗篇10篇1节）。约伯极度痛苦以致以为神要杀了他（约伯记13章15节） 。甚至耶稣都在十字架上大喊：「我的神！我的神！为什么离弃我？」（马太福音27章46节） 然而，神一次又一次地显明祂是信实的（创世记21章1-7节；诗篇10篇16-18节 ；约伯记38章1节-42章17节 ；马太福音28章9-20节 ）。

     虽然撒但可能企图欺骗你，使你以为自己被离弃了，但神却是永远在你身边。祂永不离弃自己的儿女。「因为主曾说：『我总不撇下你，也不丢弃你。』所以我们可以放胆说：『主是帮助我的，我必不惧怕。』」（希伯来书13章5-6节）

主啊，虽然黑暗和乌云有时笼罩我，
即使心中彷徨，但主就在身旁。

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
