以赛亚·以马内利，和平的君(赛7-12章) 提要 :

    犹大王亚哈斯在位时，公开地拜偶像得罪神，神容许亚兰王利汛，及以色列王比加来攻打犹大。惊惧中亚哈斯向亚述王求援，而不求助于恩典的神，神差遣以赛亚去劝勉亚哈斯，要他回转相信神。以赛亚给亚哈斯一个「兆头」，是关于以马内利的预言，必有童贞女怀孕生子，就是耶稣基督，祂要用公义治理大卫的国。可惜亚哈斯拒绝了这项证据，仍然与亚述联盟，于是以赛亚宣告神对犹大王及全国的刑罚。(赛七、八)

     然而以赛亚继续宣告神的救恩，「在黑暗中行走的百姓看见了大光，住在死蔭之地的人，有光照耀他们。」「因有一婴孩为我们而生，有一子赐给我们，祂名称为奇妙、策士、全能的神、永在的父、和平的君。」(赛9:1-7) 以赛亚的预言七百年后，清楚的应验在耶稣身上。

    以赛亚是一个勇敢而正直的人，他毫不妥协地攻击罪恶和不义，但他的信息，严厉中带着柔和，审判中带着救恩，他一再的重复弥赛亚的预言:「从耶西的本必发一条，从他根生的枝子必结果实。」「耶和华是我的力量，是我的诗歌、他也成了我的拯救，所以你们必从救恩的泉源欢然取水。」(赛11:1，2；12:2，3)何等宝贵的信息和应许，你也可以在救恩的泉源中欢然取水，永远不渴。

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...
