這人就是先知以賽亞所說的。他說:「在曠野有人聲喊著說:預備主的道,修直他的路!」 3 This is he who was spoken of through the prophet Isaiah:「A voice of one calling in the desert, Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him. 」(\f12 3:3 Isaiah 40:3)
這約翰身穿駱駝毛的衣服,腰束皮帶,吃的是蝗蟲、野蜜。 4 John's clothes were made of camel's hair, and he had a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey.
約翰看見許多法利賽利人和撒都該人也來受洗,就對他們說:「毒蛇的種類!誰指示你們逃避將來的忿怒呢? 7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to where he was baptizing, he said to them: 「You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?
不要自己心裏說:『有亞伯拉罕為我們的袓宗。』我告訴你們,神能從這些石頭中給亞伯拉罕興起子孫來。 9 And do not think you can say to yourselves, We have Abraham as our father. I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham.
現在斧子已經放在樹根上,凡不結好果子的樹就砍下來,丟在火裏。 10 The ax is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.
我是用水給你們施洗,叫你們悔改。但那在我以後來的,能力比我更大,我就是給他提鞋也不配。他要用聖靈與火給你們施洗。 11 「I baptize you with (\f13 3:11 Or|i in|d) water for repentance. But after me will come one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not fit to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.
他手裏拿著簸箕,要揚淨他的場,把麥子收在倉裏,把糠用不滅的火燒盡了。」 12 His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor, gathering his wheat into the barn and burning up the chaff with unquenchable fire.」
耶穌回答說:「你暫且許我,因為我們理當這樣盡諸般的義〔或譯:禮〕。」於是約翰許了他。 15 Jesus replied, 「Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness.」 Then John consented.
耶穌受了洗,隨即從水裏上來。天忽然為他開了,他就看見神的靈彷彿鴿子降下,落在他身上。 16 As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and lighting on him.
April 18 "And he shall bring it to pass." (Psa. 37:5.) I ONCE thought that after I prayed that it was my duty to do everything that I could do to bring the answer to pass. He taught me a better way, and showed that my self-effort always hindered His working, and that when I prayed and definitely believed Him for anything, He wanted me to wait in the spirit of praise, and only do what He wanted me to wait in the spirit of praise, and only do what He bade me. It seems so unsafe to just sit still, and do nothing but trust the Lord; and the temptation to take the battle into our own hands is often tremendous. We all know how impossible it is to rescue a drowning man who tries to help his rescuer, and it is equally impossible for the Lord to fight our battles for us when we insist upon trying to fight them ourselves. it is not that He will not, but He cannot. Our interference hinders His working. ─C.H.P. Spiritual forces cannot work while earthly forces are active. It takes God time to answer prayer. We often fail to give God a chance in this respect. It takes time for God to paint a rose. It takes time for God to grow an oak. It takes time for God to make bread from wheat fields. He takes the earth. He pulverizes. He softens. He enriches. He wets with showers and dews. He warms with life. He gives the blade, the stock, the amber grain, and then at last the bread for the hungry. All this takes time. Therefore we sow, and till, and wait, and trust, until all God's purpose has been wrought out. We give God a chance in this matter of time. We need to learn this same lesson in our prayer life. It takes God time to answer prayer. ─J.H.M.
