《歌林多前書》第二章,十一和十二节
1 CORINTHIANS 2:11,12

11 除了在人里头的灵,谁知道人的事?像这样,除了 神的灵,也没有人知道 神的事。 12 我们所领受的,并不是世上的灵,乃是从 神来的灵,叫我们能知道 神开恩赐给我们的事。 CUVS

今天我们一起背诵默想的经文来自《新约》《哥林多前书》第二章11和12节。使徒保罗曾在哥林多向犹太人证明耶稣是基督却遭到拒绝,之后转往外邦人那里去传讲神的道。保罗在哥林多住了一年半的时间,但他离开之后,哥林多教会因为属灵生命幼稚,受各样世俗文化的影响,出现了很多问题。保罗从革来氏家里的人听说教会有分党纷争,写此信讨论教会实际问题,坚固信徒信心。今天的经文是关于圣灵的教导,也是保罗基于圣灵大能,而非属世智慧而讲道的明证。求圣灵谦卑我们的心,赐我们分辨的智慧,借着《圣经》更多认识领受主耶稣基督救赎大恩的美好计划!

11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. KJV

The scripture we will recite together for meditation today is from the New Testament, 1 Corinthians chapter 2, verses 11 and 12. The apostle Paul had proven to the Jews in Corinth that Jesus was the Christ and was rejected, and then turned to the Gentiles to preach the word of God. Paul lived in Corinth for a year and a half, but after his departure, many problems arose in the church in Corinth because of the childishness of their spiritual life and the influence of various worldly cultures. Paul wrote this letter to discuss the practical problems of the church and to strengthen the faith of the believers, after hearing from the people of the household of the Gerasenes that there were divisions and strife in the church. Today's passage is a teaching about the Holy Spirit, and a clear proof of Paul's preaching based on the power of the Holy Spirit, and not on worldly wisdom. Let the Holy Spirit humble our hearts and give us the wisdom to discern, and through the Bible to know more about the good plan of salvation of the Lord Jesus Christ!
