交在主手裡？馬太福音11:28［凡勞居擔重擔的人, 可以到我這裏來, 我就使你們得安息…. 你們當負我的軛, 學我的様式, 這樣你們心裏就必得安息.］所謂安息是說負主的軛, 學主的樣式, 而不是將勞苦重擔交在主的手裡, 而不去努力. 很多信徒將安息解釋為死亡蒙主恩召, 無可厚非. 因為安息為殉道的過程. 如果善意去理解交在主手裡這句話, 會強調降服的價值. 神是神, 人不是神, 所以放下你過去的光榮, 藉口, 恐懼, 去順服神. 不過, 人們使用這句話的時候, 好像基督的様式不是十字架而是沙發. 這句話被巧妙地用來給奮鬥, 工作, 努力, 踩下剎車. 現在, 如果交在主的手裡指的是稱義, 那沒有錯. 但人們常用這句話講成聖的過程, 而成聖的過程絕不是僅僅被動的. 基督徒生活需要努力. 我們蒙召要努力完成神已經在我們身上的工作. 這種充滿安息的努力, 清教徒稱之為神聖的汗水. 馬太福音16:24耶穌對門徒說［若有人要跟從我, 就當捨己, 背起他的十字架來跟從我.］這是基督徒生命, 生活及命定的核心. 正如巴刻J. I. Packer所指出的”基督徒的座右銘不應該是交在主手裡, 而是信靠神, 努力去做.”
Leave it into the hands of the Lord? Matthew 11:28 [Come to me, all you who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest… Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, and you will find rest for your souls.] Rest means taking the Lord’s yoke and learning His style, rather than putting the burden of labor in the Lord’s hands without making any efforts. Many believers interpret rest as death being called by the Lord, which is understandable. Because rest is the process of martyrdom. . If the phrase “entrusted to the Lord’s hands” is understood in good faith, it will emphasize the value of surrender. God is God, man is not God, so put aside your past glory, excuses, fears, and obey God. However, people use this phrase At that time, it seemed as if the figure of Christ was not the cross but the couch. This phrase is cleverly used to put a brake on struggle, work, effort, and hard work. Now, if being delivered into the hands of the Lord refers to justification, there is nothing wrong with that. . But this is often said of the process of sanctification, and the process of sanctification is never merely passive. The Christian life requires effort. We are called to strive to complete the work that God has already done in us. This rest-filled effort , the Puritans called it holy sweat. Matthew 16:24 Jesus said to his disciples [If anyone wants to come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.] This is the Christian life, living and destiny The core. As J. I. Packer pointed out, “The Christian’s motto should not be to leave it in the hands of the Lord, but to trust God and work hard.”
