28/4/2023 他们却不明白

徒7:23-26

他将到四十岁、心中起意、去看望他的弟兄以色列人．到了那里、见他们一个人受冤屈、就护庇他、为那受欺压的人报仇、打死了那埃及人。他以为弟兄必明白神是藉他的手搭救他们．他们却不明白。第二天、遇见两个以色列人争斗、就劝他们和睦、说、你们二位是弟兄、为甚么彼此欺负呢。

But when he was forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brothers, the children of Israel. Seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him who was oppressed, striking the Egyptian. He supposed that his brothers understood that God, by his hand, was giving them deliverance; but they didn't understand."The day following, he appeared to them as they fought, and urged them to be at peace again, saying, 'Sirs, you are brothers. Why do you wrong one another?'

主耶稣！司提反描述摩西在年轻时, 已经怀着对以色列人的爱, 摩西为他们冒着生命的危险, 所作的事, 他们不明白, 摩西并没有因此而改变对以色列人的爱。主啊！我的领悟, 我爱家人, 他们不明白我为他们所作的, 我也不会改变对家人的爱。
