论功行赏 - A Commentary

论功行赏

启11:18?外邦发怒、你的忿怒也临到了．审判死人的时候也到了．你的仆人众先知、和众圣徒、凡敬畏你名的人连大带小得赏赐的时候也到了．你败坏那些败坏世界之人的时候也就到了。

最近观赏美国职业篮球赛精彩片段，那些精心剪辑，凸显球员最佳状态的镜头，让人联想到(启11:18)在基督审判台前论功行赏的情景，两者之间其实是有着何等雷同之处啊!

有位姐妹缅怀故人只会思念母亲生前美好的一面，所有不愉快的负面经历尽都烟消云散。其实她的态度与丧礼对死者歌功颂德，只字不提生命缺失的一贯作法不谋而合。纵观新旧约历史，神给与懊悔死行的人盖棺定论亦然，总是抑恶扬善，不计前嫌，广行赦免，论功行赏。试把几起这方面圣经的实例列举如下:

1)挪亚

走出方舟栽种葡萄园的挪亚，虽因醉酒赤身露体丑态毕露，然而新约圣经却大力褒扬他建造方舟，为人畜存留余种繁衍生息的信心表现。

2)亚伯拉罕和妻子撒拉

亚伯拉罕虽是神所培育的属灵伟人，然而起初却十分惧内，几乎任由霸道专横的河东狮摆布。在关键时刻为求自保屡次撒谎，妄顾妻子安危的懦弱行径简直令人齿寒。然而新约圣经的作者却尊称他为信心之父，可见在天路历程中，这位属灵伟人早已被塑造成天国里屹立不倒的中流砥柱。

妻子撒拉在她灵命幼嫩时期，怂恿使女夏甲协助传宗接代的错误决定，不但越帮越忙，甚至更带来灾难性后果。夫妻俩没能在重大抉择上寻求主的心意，可以说是导致家庭悲剧越演越烈的主要原因。然而彼得前书却夸赞撒拉听从亚伯拉罕，称他为主。可见她在晚年的时候，早期嚣张跋扈的气焰全都一扫而空了。

3)罗得

不怕寒碜的罗得属于五十年不变的属灵巨婴。这位自我中心的老兄，行事为人从来不管不顾。自私自利的决策，往往需要人家善后替他收拾烂摊子。他与世俗为友的糜烂作风，至终导致家破人亡的悲惨结局。女儿们承接所多玛败坏习俗，先后与父亲产生乱伦诞下孽种，此等人生污点更是不堪回首。然而彼得在书信中竟然夸赞他天天为罪恶大城的淫行悲痛忧伤。人看外表，神看内心果真如此。

4)雅各

雅各从狡猾奸诈的欺骗者，摇身一变成为以色列的王子，新旧约都有他在垂暮之年扶着杖敬拜主的记载。他不但是犹太人公认的民族鼻祖，在玛拉基书神还公开表态偏爱雅各，证明他经千锤百炼后终于大器晚成。

5)摩西

谦和程度胜于世人的摩西，纵然因一时缺乏克制怒不可遏，落入无法进入迦南美地的遗憾，然而希伯来书11章却用大量篇幅肯定他的丰功伟绩，此位神仆在天国稳若泰山的地位可见一斑。

6)妓女喇合

出身卑贱的妓女喇合，由于热诚招待两位探子，不但信心英雄榜上有名，还创下外邦人接受救恩的先例。

7)基甸

基甸从胆小如鼠，犹豫不决的怂包子跃升为统领300精兵，击退米甸阵营的大能勇士。希伯来书11章称赞他是软弱变为刚强，击退外邦全军的民族大英雄。

8)参孙

常与外邦女子有染，生活放荡不羁的参孙，虽然被掳失去双目后，与敌人同归于尽场面悲壮，然而希伯来书11章众多属灵伟人行列中，他却是在信心英雄榜上有名之士。

9)大卫

讨神喜悦的大卫王尽管犯下奸淫和谋杀两项弥天大罪，然而新约使徒行传却称他为合神心意的人。这种出乎意料的称许和嘉奖，与大卫在诗篇51篇撕裂心肠的真心悔改密切相关。

10)以利亚

同样处在极度抑郁状态的摩西和以利亚，虽然都曾有向神求死的不良记录，然而两者均同时出现在登山变像的场景，预表耶稣是律法和先知的总钢，证明他们在天上的奖赏一点儿也不受地上软弱表现的影响。

11)约拿

耶稣在福音书中竟然把临阵脱逃，身陷鱼腹九死一生的约拿，与他自己在地里埋葬三天三夜起死回生的神迹相提并论。可见约拿布道令尼尼微全城归主不但举足轻重，完全使他能够将功补过，还预表主为人类赎罪牺牲带来救恩的神圣大爱。

古人有云不可以一时胜败论英雄，皆因上述众圣徒载入史册的伟大功勋，让我们牢记保罗在下列经文的忠告和提醒:

哥林多前书:4:5 所以时候未到，什么都不要论断，只等主来，他要照出暗中的隐情，显明人心的意念。那时各人要从神那里得著称赞。

家里放些切开的洋葱和勤用盐水漱口,大大减低呼吸道感染。祝一切安康。请做以下祷告:

天父,谢谢你差派儿子主耶稣来到世间,为我的罪死在十字架上,三天后复活。我接受耶稣进入内心,成为救主和生命之主。用宝血洁净赦免我一切罪。圣灵充满和医治我。把新的心赐给我。拯救和供应我全家,保护我们不受疫情影响。奉耶稣名求。阿们。

DLim: Scriptures are time travelling device. Scriptures bring us to many different points in time and space.

There is a time for reward. There is celebration.

The corruptors will be corrupted. Death does not happen in one moment only.

DLim: Moments of achievement are spread out in the process of time. Christ Jesus can call up all of those moments. Nothing escapes God.

DLim: People can also call up any particular event in their memories.

It is for you to choose the positive or the negative.?You can linger in any of those fields.

DLim: In Eulogy people can be eulogic, choosing the outstanding brilliant moments to share and praise.

Jesus is the Cleaner.?God can wash us whiter than snow.?But you have to repent of your sins.?You have to have remorse on your wrong doings, your trespasses. You must not hold onto your sins. You must love life.?Jesus is The Life.

?

DLim: There are blessings at different time.?When nobody was around it can be great to run around doing things naked.?We were sweating like a dog in a restaurant eating hot food.?At home we can take off all clothing, put on cooling systems, and wash down half way through eating.?So, there are blessings when we can eat in and when we can eat out.

2)亚伯拉罕和妻子撒拉

亚伯拉罕虽是神所培育的属灵伟人，然而起初却十分惧内，几乎任由霸道专横的河东狮摆布。在关键时刻为求自保屡次撒谎，妄顾妻子安危的懦弱行径简直令人齿寒。然而新约圣经的作者却尊称他为信心之父，可见在天路历程中，这位属灵伟人早已被塑造成天国里屹立不倒的中流砥柱。

DLim: Faith, belief, is about believing in the Father, God of the heavens; and not about believing in any other things(as people who want to do and believe in other things most often point to and turn to 1Cor 13 to develop justification to their own belief in other people and things and their love so to do.

?

妻子撒拉在她灵命幼嫩时期，怂恿使女夏甲协助传宗接代的错误决定，不但越帮越忙，甚至更带来灾难性后果。夫妻俩没能在重大抉择上寻求主的心意，可以说是导致家庭悲剧越演越烈的主要原因。然而彼得前书却夸赞撒拉听从亚伯拉罕，称他为主。可见她在晚年的时候，早期嚣张跋扈的气焰全都一扫而空了。

?

DLim: Saying one thing is one thing.?Doing another matter is another matter.

I met a liar who knew she was hated by another brother in Christ. She is a liar and keeps lying while wanting to have a sex life and family of her own while not repenting from her lying life. She never wants a repented honest life. Guess many brethren also realized that.

Be honest and repent first.

?

DLim:?It is important that God sees the heart.?But unrepentant life-style and unrepentant secular lives bear evil fruits. Today, when we see the collapse of the $USD, USA, Canada, Europe, NATO, and so on, remember the great sins that people are willingly committed and committing. Remember the lies of Pandemic, lockdown, masking, vaccination, LGBTQ, and so much more.?You call that right?! Enjoy your rightful punishment, disaster, chaos, broken family, unaffordable diet and housing.?Remember your plagues and famine. Your very achievement.

DLim: Wait for the Lord.?God is the God of impossible. It is never too late for God to fulfill His promise. No need to rush in to help God in anything secular.

?

DLim: Moses was made an example for the Rabbinic Jews who talk a lot of following Mosaic Law.?You cannot enter the promised land through your works, such as the keep of Mosaic Law.?Breaking 1 law is breaking them all. God set Moses as an example long before the Rabbinic Jews would see that and repent.

To date, the Rabbinic Jews still think they can overcome God and will anything they wish; running the whole World and their destiny by their own making.

6)妓女喇合

出身卑贱的妓女喇合，由于热诚招待两位探子，不但信心英雄榜上有名，还创下外邦人接受救恩的先例。

DLim: Know and acknowledge that you are weak in sin and in the flesh and cannot overcome your problems.?Know that Salvation is in Christ and rely on Jesus Christ.?You cannot make it yourselves.

?

7)基甸

基甸从胆小如鼠，犹豫不决的怂包子跃升为统领300精兵，击退米甸阵营的大能勇士。希伯来书11章称赞他是软弱变为刚强，击退外邦全军的民族大英雄。

?

DLim: Note and know the great difficulty of having and leading 300 great warriors.?The majority of pastors and leaders have less than 150 people in their church buildings.?And over 80% of such would not speak of their membership to such church and have not tithed. Very common for pastors to have less than 20 decent regular church members. ?After the death of David Marty Lloyd Jones only 8 women sustained his church that could sit 5000.

Only a few members of my church ever tithed and claim to be church members. The rest are tourists.?It is very hard and unusual to have 300 good men at any time to do anything.?

常与外邦女子有染，生活放荡不羁的参孙，虽然被掳失去双目后，与敌人同归于尽场面悲壮，然而希伯来书11章众多属灵伟人行列中，他却是在信心英雄榜上有名之士。

?

DLim: Samson believed in God.?Do you?? ?He knew who supplied him with his power.?Do you???Samson prayed to his provider, God.?Do you??

?

讨神喜悦的大卫王尽管犯下奸淫和谋杀两项弥天大罪，然而新约使徒行传却称他为合神心意的人。这种出乎意料的称许和嘉奖，与大卫在诗篇51篇撕裂心肠的真心悔改密切相关。

?

DLim: David feared God. David repented of his ills.?Do you??

?

?

10)以利亚

同样处在极度抑郁状态的摩西和以利亚，虽然都曾有向神求死的不良记录，然而两者均同时出现在登山变像的场景，预表耶稣是律法和先知的总钢，证明他们在天上的奖赏一点儿也不受地上软弱表现的影响。

?

DLim: There is life long after secular lives. Our God lives and is amongst us in different times, era, and epoch. Our mission is not restricted to this earthly life. The Lord can use us and communicate with us in a distant future.

Never think of the present only.?Think of the Most High.

?

11)约拿

耶稣在福音书中竟然把临阵脱逃，身陷鱼腹九死一生的约拿，与他自己在地里埋葬三天三夜起死回生的神迹相提并论。可见约拿布道令尼尼微全城归主不但举足轻重，完全使他能够将功补过，还预表主为人类赎罪牺牲带来救恩的神圣大爱。

?

DLim: Jesus is The Resurrection.?Jesus is not restricted by death.?Take a rest while you can. Our present age is like that period after the resurrection of Jesus.?God loves people so much to allow them a time for repentance.?God can and will come again.?Where then will you be??

?

DLim: Many hated me to and claim I tell of myself greater than life when I posted a little history of my past.?Great is the achievement of the Lord God. God can kill His haters, mockers, and enemies a second time after death.

?

DLim: God so loves you that He wants to forgive your sins and wash you clean. God can create in you a new clean heart.?

Repent and embrace this loving Father.?

Why perish?!
