【046】今日灵粮 Spiritual FOOD TODAY：饶恕人怎样得罪你是你喜乐的开始 Forgiving Others for How They Have Offended You is the Beginning of Your Joy

【SCRIPTURE 经文】：旧约中智慧的所罗门王在他的箴言书中描述并教导了下一代。这也意味着，在新约时代，我们因信得救成为新造的人之后，现在需要活出圣洁喜乐、蒙赦免的生活，才能领受神的救恩喜乐，以及祂将来赐予我们的永生盼望。他的箴言有如此劝勉信徒：“喜乐的心乃是良药；忧伤的灵使骨枯乾。”；The wise King Solomon in the Old Testament described and taught the next generation in his book of Proverbs. This also means that in the New Testament era, after we are saved by faith and become new creations, we now need to live a holy, joyful, and forgiven life in order to receive the joy of God's salvation and the hope of eternal life He will give us in the future. His proverbs exhort believers like this: “A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.” (箴言 Proverbs 17:22)

【SHARING 分享】: 《Spiritual FOOD TODAY今日灵粮》分享的经文是箴言Proverbs 17:22。许多圣经学者认同箴言 17:22 所说的： “喜乐的心乃是良药；灵忧伤使骨枯干。” … “这节经文强调了我们的灵性、情绪状态与身体健康的密切联系。一颗愿意饶恕和爱人的心，是医治和活力的源泉；而悲伤、报复或负面情绪则会对身心健康，尤其是灵性健康产生负面影响，甚至可能导致犯罪。”

在 “纯全喜乐 Pure Joy”专栏中，传道人约翰·派博牧师 Rev. John Piper 发表了一篇题为《当其他基督徒伤害你》的讲道，引用罗马书 Romans 8:1 来提醒信徒并加深思考，强调当其他基督徒伤害你时，使徒保罗在这节经文中劝诫我们要饶恕他人，因为 “如今，那些在基督耶稣里的就不定罪了。” 这节经文强调了我们不对悔改的弟兄姐妹怀恨在心的根本原因是什么？

派博牧师继续解释说，如果我们被弟兄姐妹严重冒犯，我们心中的愤慨不会因为冒犯者是基督徒而消失。事实上，我们可能会感到更加被背叛，一句简单的 “对不起” 无法弥补被冒犯的痛苦和尴尬。

但在这种情况下，我们面对的是基督徒，神应许的义怒并不适用，正如上面引用的罗马书 Romans 8:1 所说：“如今，那些在基督耶稣里的就不定罪了。” 使徒保罗在帖撒罗尼迦前书 1 Thessalonians 5:9 进 一步说：“因为神不是预定我们（所有基督徒）受刑，乃是预定我们借着我们主耶稣基督得救。”

那么，我们该从哪里寻找确据呢？—— 坚信正义终将得到伸张，并确信基督教并非是对罪恶严重性的嘲弄。答案在于仰望耶稣基督的十字架。信徒对我们所做的一切恶事，都在耶稣基督的死中得到了证明，这隐含在一个简单却令人震惊的事实中：耶稣为我们的罪而死，这在以赛亚书 Isaiah 53:6 中早已预言，并在哥林多前书 1 Corinthians 15:3 中也有描述。也就是说，神子民的所有罪都归在了耶稣身上。

基督的苦难是神对我们因基督徒而遭受的伤害的补偿。因此，基督教并不轻视罪恶，也不雪上加霜。相反，基督教非常严肃地对待那些伤害我们的罪；为了纠正这些罪，神赐下祂的独生子耶稣基督，让祂承受远超我们所能偿还他人所受之苦的痛苦。

今天的灵粮分享了 “饶恕人怎样得罪你是你喜乐的开始”。这话很难说，但想要获得宝贵的成果，就必须吃苦耐劳，包容他人。中国有句古话，可以用 “虎穴焉得虎子” 或 “一分耕耘，一分收获” 来表达。正如所罗门王在箴言Proverbs 17:22 中劝诫我们的那样： “喜乐的心乃是良药，忧伤的灵使骨枯干。饶恕人怎样得罪你是你喜乐的开始。

The verse shared by 《Spiritual FOOD TODAY今日灵粮》is Proverbs 17:22. Many Bible scholars agree with what Proverbs 17:22 says: "A merry heart does good as medicine, but a broken spirit dries up the bones." … “This verse emphasizes the close connection between our spiritual and emotional states and physical health. A heart that is willing to forgive and love others is a source of healing and vitality; while sadness, revenge or negative emotions will have a negative impact on physical and mental health, especially spiritual health, and may even lead to crime. “

In the "Pure Joy" column, Pastor Rev. John Piper published a sermon titled "When Other Christians Hurt You", quoting Romans 8:1 to remind believers and deepen their thinking, emphasizing that when other Christians hurt you, the Apostle Paul exhorted us to forgive others in this verse because "there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." This verse emphasizes what is the root cause of our not holding grudges against repentant brothers and sisters?

Pastor Rev. John Piper goes on to explain that if we are seriously offended by a brother or sister, our indignation will not disappear just because the offender is a Christian. In fact, we may feel even more betrayed, and a simple "I'm sorry" cannot make up for the pain and embarrassment of the offense.

But in this case, we are dealing with Christians, and God's promised righteous anger does not apply, as Romans 8:1 quoted above states: "There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." The Apostle Paul further says in 1 Thessalonians 5:9: "For God has not appointed us (all Christians) to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ."

So where do we find assurance? -- the conviction that justice will be done, and the assurance that Christianity is not a mockery of the seriousness of sin. The answer lies in looking to the cross of Jesus Christ. All the evil that believers have done to us is vindicated in the death of Jesus Christ, implicit in the simple yet stunning fact that Jesus died for our sins, as predicted in Isaiah 53:6 and described in 1 Corinthians 15:3. That is, all the sins of God's people were laid on Jesus.

Christ's suffering is God's compensation for the harm we have suffered because of Christians. Therefore, Christianity does not take sin lightly or make it worse. On the contrary, Christianity takes the sins that hurt us very seriously; to correct these sins, God gave his only Son Jesus Christ to suffer far more than we can ever pay back for the suffering of others.

Today's spiritual food shares "Forgiving others for what they have done to you is the beginning of your joy." It's hard to say, but if you want to get valuable results, you must endure hardships and tolerate others. There is an old Chinese saying that can be expressed as "You can't get tiger cubs from a tiger's den" or "You reap what you sow." As King Solomon exhorted us in Proverbs 17:22, "A merry heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit dries up the bones.” Forgiving Others for How They Have Offended You is the Beginning of Your Joy.
