基督教会的开始.(使徒行传2:1-42)
一. 信主的人的聚集.2:1
五旬节到了,门徒都聚集在一处.
忽然有一阵好像大风吹的响声从天上而来.充满他们坐的全屋.2:1-2
1. 从使徒行传1:15节我们知道大约有一百二十人聚集.
2. 他们都聚在一处.(这是教会合一的开始!)
3. 有声音好像大风吹从天上而来.就是这响声吸引许多人到他们聚集的地方.
二. 圣灵的洗礼.(徒2:3-4)
1. 他们看见有火看起来好像舌头,分开来,停在各人身上.2:3
2. 所有的人就被圣灵充满了.他们就都得到圣灵的帮助说起别国的语言.2:4
三. 敬畏神的犹太人的反应.2:5
1. 当他们听见大风吹的响声.都很惊奇因为各人听见门徒用各人的乡谈述说神的奇妙.2:6
2. 他们觉得很奇怪就彼此问说,这些人不都是加利利人吗?
为什么我们听见他们用我们各人的乡谈说话昵?2:6-10
3. 其中有犹太人,进犹太教的人,革里底人和亚拉伯人- -
明白门徒用他们各人自己的乡谈在述说神的奇妙!2:11
请各位记得,当日门徒所说的话其他人听明白!
4. 有些人笑他们是喝醉了酒的人.2:13
四. 彼得和十一位门徒站起来向群众说话.2:14-36
1. 这群众是从世界各地来,敬畏神的犹太人和所有住在耶路撒冷的人!
2. 门徒说,我们是从加利利来的人.但是我们正用你们各人自己的乡谈说话!
你们也听得明白.这就证明我们不是醉酒的人.
3. 这是应验约尔先知的预言.约尔先知预言说,神说,在末日的时代,我要将我的灵倒出在所有人身上.
你们的儿子和女儿要说预言,你们的年轻人要看见异象,老年人要有梦.2:15-20
五. 凡求告主名的就必得救!(使徒行传2:21)
这节经文是什么意思?神任凭世界的神将所有受西方神学家影响的人的心眼弄瞎了!
受西方神学家的思想影响的是什么人?就是今天全世界所有宗派教会和罗马普世教会里的人!
首先他们只发现罗马书10:13节,就大作文章,说天下万民只要求告主的名就必然得救了,然后再受洗加入宗派教会!
其次就是一千五百年过去了,他们还没有发现,罗马书10:13节应该读到10:17节,并且还要参看罗马书10:4,1:7
和使徒行传15:1节等经文,才能正确了解这节文的原本意思!
感谢神的厚恩,蒙神怜悯,发现了使徒行传2:21-41节的另一处,引用同一节旧约经文的述说!
真是奇妙!这就是现今世代神向世人彰显的奇妙!
我知道,必须在这里说明,不然,世人可能还是不能明白!
罗马书10:13-17是使徒保罗写给罗马那里的基督教会,帮助得救了的人,
不被那班从犹太来的人所传的信而受洗加上割礼和遵守摩西律法的异端之害!
叫那些已信而受了洗的人,求告主的名就必得救!(不需再受割礼,也不需遵守摩西律法!)
使徒行传2:21节是彼得引用来向普天下万民传福音,向他们传福音,引用旧约经文证明耶稣是基督,
叫他们信而受洗,就必然得救!
这就是马可福音16:15-16节,主耶稣叫他们向普天下万民传的信息!
这就是为什么,彼得传道的结论是,故此以色列全家,当确实的知道,你们钉死在十架上的这位耶稣,
神已经叫他从死里复活,立他成为主,基督了!(徒2:36)
六. 彼得讲道的反应和结果!2:37-41
1. 他们听见这话.就是"你们钉死在十架上的耶稣,神已经叫他复活,立他为主,为基督了."
他们觉得扎心(感动相信),就问彼得和其余的门徒说,我们当怎样行?(使徒行传2:37)
2. 彼得回答说,你们各人要悔改,奉耶稣基督的名受洗,叫罪得赦,就必领受所赐的圣灵.
这应许是给你们和你们的子孙的....彼得还用许多话劝勉他们.又恳切的对他们说,
"你们要救自己离开这邪恶的世代!"2:38-40
3. 结果:接受他话的人就受了洗.那一天约三千人受洗加入教会!2:41
4. 这些受了洗的人忠心的遵守使徒的教训,参加聚会守圣餐,和祈祷.2:42
这就是基督教会的开始!地点是耶路撒冷.时间是公元33年的五旬节日!
愿主赐福保守各位从今直到永远! 二零零八年五月八日.
The beginning of the church of Christ. (Acts 2:1-42)
A. The gathering of believers! (Acts 2:1-2)
When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place.
Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house
where they were sitting. (Acts 2:1-3)
1. From Acts 1:15 we know there were about 120 believers!
2. They all gather in one place. (This is unity of the church!)
3. A sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven.
This was the sound that attracted thousands of people to come!
B. The baptism of the Holy Spirit. (Acts 2:3-4)
1. The saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. (Acts 2:3)
2. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as
the Spirit enabled them. (Acts 2:4)
C. Reaction of the God-fearing Jews! (Acts 2:5)
1. When they heard this sound, they came together in bewilderment,
because each one heard them speaking in his own languages. 2:6
2. They were very amazed, they asked:
"Are not all these men who are speaking Galileans? (Acts 2:6-10)
3. Both Jews and converts to Judaism, Cretans and Arabs—-
understand they were declaring the wonders of God in their own tongues. 2:11
Please remember speaking in tongues here means language other people understand
and in their own native tongues!
4. Some made fun of them and said: They have had too much wine. 2:13
D. Peter stood up with the 11 to address the crowd. (Acts 2:14-36)
1. This crowd were God-fearing Jews from all over the world and all who live in Jerusalem!
2. We are from Galilee but we are speaking in your native tongues and you understand what we said,
therefore, we are not drunk!
3. This is the fulfillment of what Prophet Joel said “in the last days, God says,
I will pour out my Spirit on all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions,
your old men will dream dreams….” (Acts 2:15-20)
E. Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. Acts 2:21
What does this mean?
Peter explained in Acts 2:22-35 and he concluded in 2:36 by saying:
Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus whom you crucified,
both Lord and Christ.
F. The reaction and results of his preaching. (Acts 2:37-41)
1. When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said:
“What must we do?” Acts 2:37
2. Peter replied: Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ
for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
The promise is for you and your children….
With many other words he warned them; and he pleaded with them,
“Save yourselves from this corrupt generation.”
3. The result: Those who accepted his message were baptized, and
about 3000 were added to their number that day. (Acts 2:41)
4. The baptized people devoted themselves to the apostles’
teaching and to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Acts 2:42
This is the beginning of the church of Christ in Jerusalem!
