約翰福音讀後–19:19-22   王健華牧師

19:19   [hb5]   
            [kjv]     And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.
19:20   [hb5]   
            [kjv]     This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin.
19:21   [hb5]   
            [kjv]     Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews.
19:22   [hb5]   
        [kjv]         Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.                             

「猶太人的王」這主題,我都說是重要的,果真是。。。。                                  

今日的聖經是這樣記錄的:「彼 。」猶太人的王這主題又再出現,不過,今次多了「拿 穌」這幾個字。

聖經繼續記下去:「有 。」也是重覆「猶太人的王」這主題,只不過用三種文字寫成。雖然知道當時猶太人被羅馬统治,但為什麼要用三種文字寫耶穌的名號(title) 然而猶太人還是要加意見:「猶 。」為什麼要加「他 是」?這反影了猶太人什麼心態?雖然彼拉多和祭司長意見不同,但「彼 。」

其實,這幾節經文皆是環繞「猶 王」這主題。我們只要把握著這主題,便能讀通聖經的信息。(待續)

祈禱:
天父上帝,祢统管萬有,以祢的法則治理世界,祢救贖世人的福音自猶太民族傳遍外邦,讓我們得有指望作祢的後裔。求祢教我們在任何情景中,承認基督不以為恥,好叫我們在祢的國度裡有份。奉主名求。阿們。
