1101 耶稣是客旅

因为我饿了,你们给我吃,渴了,你们给我喝;我作客旅,你们留我住。

马太福音 25:35

耶稣是客旅。祂被当作外国人看待,像一个与众不同的人,一个在2000年前闯入被公认的犹太文化里。祂自己的百姓把祂丢出城外,祂自己的兄弟并不相信祂;宗教领袖则认为祂是危险的,并密谋祂的死。耶稣说……

甚至当我在十字架将死时,我的哭求是:父啊,赦免他们。让这种态度成为你对那些恨你的人的态度。当我住在你里面,你就能感受到以饶恕克服拒绝是何意。那会使你欢迎在你们中间的客旅,正如你欢迎我一样……

1001 JESUS is a STRANGER

JESUS is a STRANGER.  He was looked on as a foreigner, as one who was different, an intruder into accepted Jewish culture of 2000 years ago.  His own people threw him out of town, His own brothers did not believe in Him.  The religious leaders considered Him dangerous and plotted His death.  Jesus says…

Father, forgive them was My cry even as I was dying on the cross.  Let this attitude be yours toward those who hate you.  As I live in you, you can feel what it means to overcome rejection with forgiveness.  It will cause you to welcome strangers in your midst, even as you welcome Me…

“….For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in.”

Matthew 25:35
