053 罗马书10章11至15美丽的脚踪
-
- 问小孩子： 有那哪两种得到救恩的方式？ V5靠律法得救恩、V6-10靠信心得救恩
- 问大人：
- 太7:21 “不是每一个对我说：‘主啊，主啊！’的人，都能进入天国，唯有遵行我天父旨意的人，才能进去。
- 问：需加遵行天父旨意才得救？
- 问：信心加律法与行为才得救？
- 问：信心加顺服、加悔改的成圣？
- Ans 经文是指那些假冒伪善、作恶的（V23）假先知(V15-20)
- Ans他们口称主啊、主啊，奉主名讲道（V22）。
- Ans传假道、作恶败坏的（V16-20、23）
-
- V12 其实并不分[3]犹太人和希腊人【希利尼人】，因为大家同有一位主；他厚待所有求告他的人，13 因为“凡求告主名的，都必得救。”
-
- 引用：珥2:32[4] . .求告耶和华的名的，都必得救…
- 主耶稣就是耶和华（第二位格）
- 救恩是不分犹太人与外邦人 no differences or distinction
- 无论犹太人或希腊人，都必须相信主耶稣才能得救
- 上帝厚待[5]所有求告主耶稣的人
- V12“厚待”指的是救恩层面
- a.p.上帝不单单厚待给人救恩，祂也厚待人一切美好事物 [6] (雅1:17)
- 太7:11你们虽然邪恶，尚且知道把好东西给儿女，何况你们在天上的父，难道不更把好东西赐给求他的人吗？
- 来11:6没有信，就不能得到上帝的喜悦；因为来到上帝面前的人，必须信上帝存在，并且信他会赏赐那些寻求他的人。
- 要蒙主恩的条件是你须信靠祂：
- 问：你是否信主厚待人？
- 问：你是否信主赏赐寻求他的人？
- 问：你暂时落难时。你是否依然信上帝会恩待你？
- 慢慢发现我们信心小，不认为上帝会恩待爱祂的人
- e.g. 遇困难，陷入恐惧、哭泣、发怒
- 有信心的人，在遇见困境时，不会埋怨、不会恐惧、陷入忧虑
- e.g. 遇见一位孩子学业无法克服就埋怨、哭泣、发怒。
- Pic进入流奶与蜜之地 [7] （民13:30）
- 以色列人因不信，进入不了流奶与蜜之地
- 我问孩子:你知道他们的结局是什么吗？ 孩子回“他们都死了”。

- William Carey 1793 到印度传福音。当时教会董事告诉他，若上帝要他们得救，不需要你。
- 问：没有人传扬,怎能听见呢？[11]
- 问：没有人听见，怎能信呢？
- 传福音之人是代表基督。拒绝他们所传的，就是拒绝基督 （路10:16）
- e.g. 一些人传福音时，被人辱骂。
- a.p.我们应当纪念那些传福音给我们的人。不要没良心！
- e.g.我小时后在学校的福音事工信主，种下种子。之后离开基督。
- e.g. 大约10岁时一位漂亮的姐姐把她手里的圣经送给我。（那本圣经要十多年后我才阅读）
- 虽然后来长大后我离开。 到23岁才回来
- 我们能够口里承认心里相信是因为有人附上代价，把传福音传给我们
- e.g.感谢主生活营，有7位未信主与我们同行。
- e.g.感谢主生中秋团契，有6位未信主。

- e.g.宣教课程就能培育宣教士？
- e.g.上传福音的课，还是不敢传福音。不曾上过课的经常传福音。
- e.g. 弟兄到处传福音，见人就传。我非常敬佩他。

- 祈求主的灵，能大大感动你们，兴起你们。不断为主耶稣作见证
-
- 使万民作主门徒的使命是给教会，而不是给个人的使命
- 所以教会一起集合力量、恩赐一起来传福音。
- 不是每一位都有勇气、口才
- 不是每一位有能力带人
- 不是每一位有能力作马大(煮饭)
- 你什么都无法作，有更重要的事你能做。就是不断祷告！

[1] The word everyone is not found in the Hebrew or LXX, and it seems that Paul has inserted it. But we may fairly say that he is doing no more than bringing out a truth that is implicit in the original.Morris, L.
[2] 保罗所使用的时七十士希腊文译本：“所有信靠他的人，必不致失望【不至於羞愧】” 赛28:16 所以主耶和华这样说：“看哪！我在锡安放置一块石头，是试验过的石头，是稳固的基石，宝贵的房角石；信靠的人，必不着急。
[3] Rom 10:12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek
there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, is emphasized by Paul again and again, it must have been very difficult for Jews to believe this. What? Did Paul really mean to say that they, the highly privileged descendants of Abraham, were in God’s eyes not any better than Greeks or Gentiles?
Even today are there not many church members who endorse the theory that the Jews, as a people, are still the objects of God’s special delight and that a glorious future is in store for them? Note how, in many books written by authors who cling to this opinion, the truth expressed here in 10:12 is touched on very lightly, is passed over very quickly. Nevertheless, so thoroughly convinced was Paul of its importance that he dwelt on it, at least mentioned it, again and again. Let the reader see this for himself by carefully examining the following passages: Rom. 1:16; 2:11; 3:10–18, 22–24: 3:29, 30; 4:9–12; 5:18, 19; 9:24; 10:12; 11:32; and elsewhere in Paul’s epistles: 1 Cor. 7:19; Gal. 3:9, 29; 5:6; 6:15; Eph. 2:14–18; Col. 3:11.Hendriksen, W., & Kistemaker, S. J.
[4] The apostles sees Joel 2:28-32prophecy fulfilled at Pentecost Acts2:16-21. Here Paul also quoted and see it being fulfilled in Christ.
[5] This Lord has the riches to bring blessing to all; the Jew need not fear that there will not be enough to go around. Morris, L..
[6] But not only is God infinitely rich, he is also intensely desirous to bestow his riches on his creatures. He is rich in revealing to them his kindness, patience, glory, and mercy (Rom. 2:4; 9:23; Eph. 2:7). He is, in fact, generous beyond the capacity of human words to express. See such a precious passage as John 1:16, according to which one manifestation of divine grace or favor is hardly gone when another one arrives, like the waves of the ocean which follow one another in close succession as they dash against the shore. Truly “He giveth and giveth and giveth again.”Hendriksen, W., & Kistemaker.
[7] 民13:30 迦勒在摩西面前叫人民安静下来、说∶“我们立刻上去、取得那地吧！我们足能胜过它。”31 但是那些和他一同上去的人说∶“我们不能上去攻击那民族，因为他们比我们强壮。”32 那些探子向以色列人发表他们所窥探之地的恶报告、说∶“我们所经过而窥探的地、那是个吞吃居民之地，并且我们所看见的、其中的人民、都是身量高大的人。33 在那里我们看见了巨人、亚衲人的子孙、属于巨人一种的；据我们看、我们正如蚱蜢一样；据他们看、我们也正如蚱蜢。14:1 当下全会众就放声嚷起来；那一夜人民都哭了。2 以色列众人向摩西亚伦发怨言；全会众对他们说∶‘巴不得我们早死在埃及地！巴不得我们早死在这旷野！3 永恒主为什么把我们领到这地来倒毙在刀剑之下呢？我们的妻子和小孩必被掳掠了。我们回埃及去、不更好么？”4 他们就彼此说∶“我们立个首领，回埃及去吧！”
[8] There is division of opinion as to whether we should take verses 14–15 with the preceding or the following, and great names can be cited for either view. Both make sense, but on the whole it seems best to tie in closely the verses which speak so forcefully of the preaching with the attitude of the Jews who rejected the preaching.Morris, L.
[9] Paul does not define his they. Obviously this is a term with wide application and may be seen as equivalent to “all people”. But the apostle may have the Jews especially in view. Morris, L.
[10] The point is that Christ is present in the preachers; to hear them is to hear him (cf. Luke 10:16), and people ought to believe when they hear him. Morris, L.
A striking feature of this clause is that Christ is represented as being heard in the gospel when proclaimed by the sent messengers. The implication is that Christ speaks in the gospel proclamation. It is in this light that what precedes and what follows must be understood.Murray, J..
[11] One commentator on Romans, E. F. Scott, remarks, “This passage might seem to be only a digression, but it is central to the whole Epistle. More plainly than anywhere else Paul here discloses his purpose in writing as he does to the Roman church. He is coming to Rome in order to make it his starting-point for a new mission, and he needs the co-operation of the Christians in the capital. Boice, J. M .
[12] His verb properly denotes the action of a herald, someone who was given a message and told to proclaim it. The notion of a higher authority is implicit in the concept: a self-appointed herald is a contradiction in terms.59 Paul is saying that the preaching of the Christian message is impossible without the divine commission. A herald can have nothing to say unless it be given him. The gospel is derivative. It does not originate with preachers, and the other side of that coin is that nobody can operate as a preacher in the sense in which Paul is using the term here unless God has sent him. The words also point to a certain confidence. Paul is sure that those who proclaimed the gospel did so because God had sent them. Morris, L.
Those who preach are Christ’s spokesmen and only the person upon whom he has laid his hand may act in that capacity. But if the emphasis falls on the necessity of Christ’s commission, we may not overlook the privilege and joy involved in being sent. It is the sanctity belonging to the commission that enhances its dignity when possessed. This is the force of the quotation which the apostle appends, derived from Isaiah 52:7 but an abridgement of the same and expressing its central feature. Murray, J..
[13] His verb properly denotes the action of a herald, someone who was given a message and told to proclaim it.Morris, L.
[14] the prophet describes the exuberance with which the exiles welcome the news of their imminent release from captivity. This news was regarded by them as being very wonderful not just because they could now return to their homeland but also, and probably especially, because for them it meant that God’s favor was still resting on them, and that not this or that earthly power but God—their own God—was still reigning.Hendriksen, W., & Kistemaker, S. J.
52:7. The focus is still on Judah’s response, instead of the deliverance itself. Rather than depicting the battle, the image is of messengers running from the scene of battle across the hills to Zion with the good news that God reigns. They prefigure the evangelists who will announce the gospel of Jesus Christ (Rom. 10:15; Eph. 6:15). The Lord’s victory ushers in redemption and peace for His people because their God (rather than the idols) has been shown to reign.The Reformation Study Bible
[15] 例如：先知西拉 （弗4:11、3:5、徒15:32、15:40)
[16] 例如：腓利 （弗4:11、徒21:8）
[17] 保罗写罗马书给罗马教会，是希望透过他们的帮助去西班牙传福音（罗15:24、28）
[18] This was true of apostolic preaching. John Calvin wrote, “By this very statement … he [Paul] has made it clear that the apostolic ministry … by which the message of eternal life is brought to us, is valued equally with the Word.” It is true of preaching today, too, though in a lesser sense. Today’s preaching is not valued equally with the Word, but it is through preaching that the Word is most regularly made known and blessed by God to the saving of men and women. J. I. Packer is right on this point when he says, “A true sermon is an act of God, and not a mere performance by man. In real preaching the speaker is the servant of the Word and God speaks and works by the Word through his servant’s lips. … The sermon … is God’s ordained means of speaking and working. The divine commission to ministers is a commission to preach and teach, and the accompanying promise is that, if they preach the word faithfully, they will not preach in vain.” Boice, J. M.
[19] The Elephantiasis Convert：Donald Grey Barnhouse, one of my predecessors at Tenth Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia, heard a story from a missionary in western Africa that is a moving illustration of what I have been writing. It was about a man who had the disease known as elephantiasis. In this disease the skin becomes thick and hard, and the limbs of the victim become enormously enlarged, much like the leg of an elephant, hence the name elephantiasis. The leg from the knee down to the foot can become as large as twelve to fifteen inches in diameter, and of course it is quite restricting and often painful. I have known at least one American who has this affliction.But here is the story as Barnhouse tells it: This poor victim of elephantiasis became a radiant Christian and could do nothing other than tell people of the grace of God which he had shown in sending his Son Jesus Christ to die for them. He lived in an African village and determined that every soul in the village should hear the good news of salvation. It was extremely difficult for him to walk with the monstrous legs which bore him about, but he thought nothing of the pain and toiled on from hut to hut to tell those who dwelt there about the Savior who had come into his life. Each evening he would return to his own hut where he was maintained by the kindness of his relatives. At the end of several months he was able to tell the missionary that he had visited every hut in the village and that he was now starting to take the gospel message to a village that was about two miles away.Each morning he would start out painfully, walk the two miles to that village, go from hut to hut with the gospel, and return the two miles before sundown to his own hut. Finally, there came the day when he had visited every hut in the neighboring village. His work being done in these two villages, he remained at home for some weeks but began to be more and more restless.He spoke to the pastor and to the missionary, who was a medical doctor, about a village that lay ten or twelve miles through the jungle, and asked if the gospel were being taken to that village. As a boy, before he had been afflicted, he had traveled the jungle path to that village, and he remembered that it was a large village and that there were many people there, and he knew that they needed the good tidings of the Savior. He was advised not to think of going to that village, but day after day the burden grew upon him. One day his family came to the missionary and said that the man had disappeared before dawn and they had heard him go but supposed that it was but for a moment. He did not return, and the family was concerned about him.Afterwards, the full story became known. He had started down the path toward the distant village. Step after weary step he dragged his leathery legs and gigantic feet along the path that led to his goal. The people of the village later told how he had come to them when it was already noon; his feet were further swollen, bruised and bleeding. He had been forced to stop and rest again and again, and it was already past mid-day when he came. They offered him food, but before he would eat he began to tell the people about Jesus. Up and down the village he went, even to the very last hut, telling them that the God of all creation was Love and that he had sent his only Son to die that their sins might be removed. He told how the Lord Jesus had been raised from the dead and had come into his heart, bringing such joy and peace.There was no shelter for him in that village; and even though the sun was low he started on his way down the jungle path toward home. The darkness of Africa is a terrible darkness, and the night can bring forth many creatures from the jungle. The sun went down and the poor man dragged himself along the path in the darkness guided by some insight which kept him from going astray. He told his pastor later that his fear of the night and the animals which might come upon him was more than balanced by the joy that he had in his heart as he realized that he had told a whole village about the Lord Jesus Christ.Toward midnight the missionary doctor was awakened by a noise on his front porch. He listened, but all seemed still. Somehow he could not go back to sleep, and he went to the door with a light to see what had caused the noise. He recognized at once that the poor neighbor had returned to the village from his long trip, and had come with his wounded and bleeding leg-stumps to the door of the dispensary. The missionary called his helpers and they lifted the man, almost unconscious, and put him on one of the beds in the little hospital. The doctor said that he had seldom seen such a frightful sight as he looked upon those bleeding feet which had come back from such an errand of love and mercy. Unashamedly the doctor told how he had bent over those feet to minister to them, and as he cleaned and dressed them, he told how his own tears had fallen with the ointment upon them. The doctor ended the story by saying, “In all my life I do not know when my heart was more drawn out to another Christian believer. All I could think of was the verse in the Word of God, ‘How beautiful are the feet of them that bring glad tidings, that publish peace.’ ”Here was a man who had been sent by God to tell the story of what Christ had done for him, and although he had to do it at the cost of such personal agony, yet he had not flinched but had gone through to the end to tell needy men the good news of salvation for their souls. missionary called his helpers and they lifted the man, almost unconscious, and put him on one of the beds in the little hospital.
