神国的奥秘只叫你们知道 — 路加福音读经随笔 第8章

路加福音第八章第10节，耶稣说神国的奥秘只叫自己的门徒们知道，而对别人讲话的时候耶稣就用比喻。用比喻的原因，是叫那些不是耶稣的门徒的人看也看不见，听也听不明白；马可福音说私下里没别人的时候，耶稣就会详细地给门徒们解释比喻的意思，因为这些比喻隐藏着神国的奥秘。尽管耶稣在世的时候讲了很多道，但耶稣在约翰福音里说，他还有好些事要告诉门徒们但他们还担当不了。耶稣复活后赐下了圣灵。耶稣说真理的圣灵会引导门徒们明白一切的真理，我觉得也包括这些比喻里蕴藏的天国的真理。感谢耶稣让今天的我们明白了神国的奥秘，那就是福音，阿们！

路8:9 门徒问耶稣说、这比喻是甚么意思呢。
Then his disciples asked him, "What does this parable mean?"
路8:10 他说、神国的奥秘、只叫你们知道．至于别人、就用比喻、叫他们看也看不见、听也听不明。
He said, "To you it is given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of God, but to the rest in parables; that 'seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.'
可4:34 若不用比喻、就不对他们讲．没有人的时候、就把一切的道讲给门徒听。
Without a parable he didn't speak to them; but privately to his own disciples he explained everything.
约16:12 我还有好些事要告诉你们、但你们现在担当不了。〔或作不能领会〕
"I have yet many things to tell you, but you can't bear them now.
约16:13 只等真理的圣灵来了、他要引导你们明白〔原文作进入〕一切的真理．因为他不是凭自己说的、乃是把他所听见的都说出来．并要把将来的事告诉你们。
However when he, the Spirit of truth, has come, he will guide you into all truth, for he will not speak from himself; but whatever he hears, he will speak. He will declare to you things that are coming.
