17/8/2025 耶和华给该隐立一个记号

真理生活化

创4:13-15

该隐对耶和华说、我的刑罚太重、过于我所能当的。你如今赶逐我离开这地、以致不见你面．我必流离飘荡在地上、凡遇见我的必杀我。耶和华对他说、凡杀该隐的必遭报七倍。耶和华就给该隐立一个记号、免得人遇见他就杀他。

Cain said to Yahweh, "My punishment is greater than I can bear. Behold, you have driven me out this day from the surface of the ground. I will be hidden from your face, and I will be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth. It will happen that whoever finds me will kill me." Yahweh said to him, "Therefore whoever slays Cain, vengeance will be taken on him sevenfold." Yahweh appointed a sign for Cain, lest any finding him should strike him.

主耶稣！该隐杀了人, 神没有要该隐陪命, 还给他不受害命的记号保护他。主啊！我的感性觉得神不公义, 但, 我的理性却告诉我, 神的意念高过我的意念, 神的怜悯大过审判, 神的慈爱领人敏改。那一天, 主再来, 是神全然公义审判之日, 也是怜悯的尽头。
