(477) 「灵粮主题 TODAY’s Topic」：除他以外别无拯救 There Is No Salvation but Him

「灵粮经节 TODAY’s Verses」：「路加福音的作者在他的使徒行传 4 章 12 节里，劝告我们作信徒的，要认真认识救主耶稣，除了他以外，别无拯救；因为在天下人间，没有赐下别的名，我们可以靠着得救，所以使徒约翰在今日灵粮经节里，更是在连续证实耶稣基督是我们的救主好牧人，因为： “耶稣说我就是道路 （羊群救恩之门）、真理、生命；若不藉着我，没有人能到父那里去。你们若认识我，也就认识我的父。从今以後，你们认识他，并且已经看见他。”; The writer of Gospel of Luke in his Acts 4: 12, advises us as believers have to know the Savior Jesus truthfully, apart from Him, there is no salvation; because there is no other name given under heaven and earth, we can rely on being saved, so the apostle John in Spiritual Food TODAY's verses is continuously proving that Jesus Christ is our good Shepherd and Savior, because: “Jesus answered, “I am the way (Gate of Salvation for the Sheep) and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.” 」(约翰福音 John 14: 6-7节）

「灵粮分享 TODAY’s Sharing」： 今晨在「(纯全喜乐 Pure Joys」里，读到约翰·派博 Rev. John Piper 写了一篇， “耶稣认识他的羊” 的分享。牧者引用约翰福音 John 10: 27 节，在这经节里，耶稣描述我们做信徒的就像羊群里的羊，要跟随好牧人耶稣，听他的声音，因为耶稣认识我们，保护我们像羊群里他的羊，不至于失落且得永生，这也就是 「今日灵粮 Spiritual Food TODAY」 主题要分享的，要知道救主耶稣就是我们的好牧人： “除他以外别无拯救” ， 因为他认识我们是他门里的的羊。在这经节和其他连续引证的经节里，约翰牧师给我们解释而且且也问道： “耶稣认识属于他的人，这是什么样的认识？” 在这《约翰福音 10 章》 的 3 节和 27 节，这两节是一个紧密的平行对照。这 《约翰福音 10 章》 3 节 说： “羊也听他的声音。他按着名叫自己的羊，把羊领出来。” 当耶稣说 “我认识他们” 时，这意味着他至少知道他们的名字，换句话说，他熟悉每一只羊的名字，他们在耶稣的眼中，并非无名之辈。在同一章第 14-15 节里，提供了另外一个视角： “我是好牧人。我认识我的羊，我的羊也认识我。正如父认识我，我也认识父一样 …” 耶稣认识天父的方式和他认识自己的羊的方式真有一处相似的地方 —— 耶稣在父里面看见自己，在门徒里面也看见自己。耶稣或多或少能在门徒生命中看到自己的影子，那是他的羊属于他自己的标记。就像一位丈夫在机场等待他的妻子，他注意着每个从班机下来的乘客。当妻子出现时，他认出妻子，他认得妻子的面貌，他喜悦他的妻子，他的妻子是他唯一拥抱的人。使徒保罗也是这么说的，在提摩太后书 2 Timothy 2: 19 节里记载着说：“然而，神坚固的根基立住了。上面有这印记：‘主认识谁是他的人’ … 。” 大家星期五开心与周末愉快！

「灵粮祷告 TODAY’s Prayer」：「今日灵粮 Spiritual Food TODAY」 也就引用约翰福音 John 10: 9 节和大家在主的爱里相互勉励祷告。就像约翰牧师在他的分享综合里说，“弟兄姊妹们，我们的救世主耶稣基督以个人、亲密和慈爱的方式认识我们有着这伟大的特权，怎么强调都不为过。 对于他所有的羊，因为我们是神的儿女，这是神的救恩宝贵礼物，是他给我们永生的应许；耶稣在这经节里慰问着我们说：“ 我就是门； 凡从我进来的，必然得救，并且出入得草吃。“ 求神怜悯帮助保守我们，能够坚信颂赞耶稣是我们的救主好牧人，” 除他以外别无拯救“。祷告奉主名 求的，阿们！

In "纯全喜乐 Pure Joys " this morning, I read an article written by John Piper Rev. John Piper, "Jesus Knows safe His Sheep". Pastor John quoted John 10:27 in the Gospel of John. In this verse, Jesus described that we believers are like sheep in the flock, follow the good shepherd Jesus, listen to his voice, because Jesus knows us, and protect us like his sheep in the flock, so that we will not be lost but save and gain Eternal life. This is what the theme of "Spiritual Food TODAY" wants to share. We must know that the Savior Jesus is our good Shepherd: " There Is No Salvation but Him ", because he knows us as the sheep within his Gate. In this verse and others quoted in succession, Pastor John explains to us by asking: "What kind of knowledge does Jesus know that are His?" In this Gospel of John chapter 10 verses 3, and verse 27, these two verses are a close parallel contrast. This "John 10" verse 3 says: "and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out." When Jesus said "I know them", it meant that he knew at least their names, in other words, he was familiar with the names of every sheep, and they were not unknown to Jesus. In this same chapter, verses 14 to15, another perspective is provided as Jesus says: "I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me — just as the Father knows me and I know the Father ..." Jesus knew the Father God in the same way as he knew his sheep. There is a real similarity in the way of knowing his own sheep — Jesus saw himself in the Father, and he also saw himself among his sheep as the disciples. Jesus could see himself in the lives of the disciples, and that was his sheep that belonged to him with His own mark. Like a husband waiting for his wife at the airport, he pays attention to every passenger who disembarks from the plane. When the wife appears, he recognizes her, he recognizes her face, he delights in his wife, he His wife was the only one he embraced. The apostle Paul said the same thing, in 2 Timothy 2: 19 as it is recorded: "Nevertheless, God’s solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: ‘The Lord knows those who are his,’ …." Happy Friday and great weekend everyone!

In conclusion, “今日灵粮 Spiritual Food TODAY” would like to quote John 10: 9 and encourages and prays for each in the love of the Lord. As Pastor John said in his sharing synthesis, "Brothers and sisters, the great privilege of our Savior Jesus Christ to know us in a personal, intimate and loving way cannot be overemphasized. For all His sheep, because we are the children of God, this is the precious gift of God's salvation, and it is his promise of eternal life to us; Therefore, Jesus comforts us in this verse and says: "I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture." May God be merciful and help us to keep us, and be able to firmly believe and praise Jesus as our Savior and Good Shepherd, and "There is no salvation but Him". Pray in the name of the Lord, Amen!
