0630 现在就做！
你同告你的对头还在路上，就赶紧与他和息… 《马太福音 5:25》
在这节经文中，耶稣基督定了一个非常重要的原则，祂说：「立刻去做你知道你必须做的事——现在就去做；赶快去做。如果你不这样做，一个不可避免的过程就会开始运作，直到你用痛苦、烦恼和苦难还清最后一分钱。」（见马太福音 5:26）。神的律法是不可改变的，没有人可以逃避它们。耶稣的教导总是直击我们内心。
想要确保我的对手给予我所有权利是很自然的事情。但耶稣说，我要向我的对手偿还我欠他的，是一件无法逃避且永恒重要的事情。从我们主的角度来看，我是否被骗并不重要，重要的是我不欺骗别人。我是坚持有自己的权利？还是从耶稣基督的观点去偿还我所欠的？
赶快去做——现在就审判你自己。在道德和属灵的事上，你必须立即采取行动。如果你不这样做，不可避免的、无情的过程就会开始运作。神决心要祂的孩子像雪一样纯洁、干净、洁白无瑕，只要在祂的教导上有任何的不顺服，祂就会允许祂的灵使用任何可能的过程来使我们顺服。我们坚持证明我们是对的，这一事实几乎总是清楚地表明我们有某点不顺服。难怪神的灵如此强烈地催促我们坚定地留在光明中！（见约翰福音 3:19-21）。

没有人能比耶稣在人际关系中有更敏锐的爱。然而祂说，我们对父母的爱，有时候比较起对祂的爱，我们应该要更爱祂。《故我差遣你》
0630 Do It Now!
Agree with your adversary quickly… —Matthew 5:25
In this verse, Jesus Christ laid down a very important principle by saying, “Do what you know you must do— now. Do it quickly. If you don’t, an inevitable process will begin to work ‘till you have paid the last penny’ (Matthew 5:26) in pain, agony, and distress.” God’s laws are unchangeable and there is no escape from them. The teachings of Jesus always penetrate right to the heart of our being.
Wanting to make sure that my adversary gives me all my rights is a natural thing. But Jesus says that it is a matter of inescapable and eternal importance to me that I pay my adversary what I owe him. From our Lord’s standpoint it doesn’t matter whether I am cheated or not, but what does matter is that I don’t cheat someone else. Am I insisting on having my own rights, or am I paying what I owe from Jesus Christ’s standpoint?
Do it quickly— bring yourself to judgment now. In moral and spiritual matters, you must act immediately. If you don’t, the inevitable, relentless process will begin to work. God is determined to have His child as pure, clean, and white as driven snow, and as long as there is disobedience in any point of His teaching, He will allow His Spirit to use whatever process it may take to bring us to obedience. The fact that we insist on proving that we are right is almost always a clear indication that we have some point of disobedience. No wonder the Spirit of God so strongly urges us to stay steadfastly in the light! (see John 3:19-21).
“Agree with your adversary quickly….” Have you suddenly reached a certain place in your relationship with someone, only to find that you have anger in your heart? Confess it quickly— make it right before God. Be reconciled to that person— do it now!

No one could have had a more sensitive love in human relationship than Jesus; and yet He says there are times when love to father and mother must be hatred in comparison to our love for Him. — So Send I You, 1301 L
