许多人用这句"主怀安息"或是"安息主怀"来安慰亲戚或亲爱的朋友的死!
今天我们要看看圣经说,怎样的人有资格安息在主的怀里?
一. 今天研究的经文是路加福音16:22节后来那讨饭的死了,被天使带去,放在亚伯拉罕的怀里.财主也死了并且埋葬了.
1. 根据我的研究,亚伯拉罕的怀里是指亚伯拉罕旁边的座位.
2. 怀里的意思是接受亚伯拉罕同样的福气.
3. 路加福音16:27-31节告诉我们,这位讨饭的,在他死后,天使带去把他放在亚伯拉罕的怀里的缘因.
这些经文主要信息是,他们有摩西和先知可以听.和他们若是不肯听摩西和先知的话,就算有人从死里复活去告诉他们.他们也不会听.
摩西和先知是代表旧约圣经的意思.若有人不明白这事,请问参加查经聚会.我们可以研究清楚.
二. 那一些人死后有资格安息在主的怀里?
是的,我们知道,好像亚伯拉罕这样的人死后有资格在亚伯拉罕的怀里得到安息!
1. 雅各书2:21-24节
我们的祖宗亚伯拉罕把他儿子以撒献在坛上,岂不是因为行为称义吗?可见信心是与他的行为并行.
而且信心因着行为才得成全.这就应验经上所说:亚伯拉罕信神,这就算为他的义.他又得称为神的朋友.
这样看来,人称义是因着行为,不是单因着信.
2. 希伯来书11:17-18节.
亚伯拉罕因着信,被试验的时候,就把以撒献上,这便是那欢喜领受应许的,将自己独生的儿子献上.
论到这儿子,曾有话说,从以撒生的才要称为你的后裔.
3. 有耶稣的一个门徒曾真实的靠在耶稣的怀里!
有一个门徒,是耶稣所爱的,靠在耶稣的怀里!约翰福音13:23节.
4. 与耶稣同时被钉死在十架上的一个强盗是最幸运!路加福音23:42-43节
他说,耶稣啊,你得国降临的时候,求你记念我!
耶稣对他说:我实在告诉你,今日你要与同我在乐园里了.
5. 约翰一书2:5-6节
凡遵守主道的,爱神的心在他里面实在是完全的.从此我们知道我们是在主里面.
人若说他住在主里面,就该自己照主所行的去行.
6. 约翰一书5:3节
我们遵守神的诫命,这就是爱他了,并且他的诫命不是难守的.
三. 神的选民有资格安息主怀!歌逻西书3:12-21
1. 所以你们既是神的选民,圣洁蒙爱的人,就要存怜悯,恩慈,谦虚,温柔,忍耐的心.3:12
2. 倘若这人与那人有嫌隙,总要彼此包容,彼此饶恕.3:13
3. 在以上的德行之外要加上爱心.这爱心能保持信主的人完全合一在一个基督的教会里!3:14-15
4. 当用各样的智慧,把基督的道理丰丰富富的存在心里,用诗章,颂词,灵歌,彼此教导,互相劝戒,心被恩感,歌颂神.3:16
5. 无论作什么,或说话,或行事,都要奉主耶稣的名,藉着他感谢父神.3:17
神的选民的家庭是这样的! 歌逻西书3:18-21
1. 你们作妻子的,当顺服自己的丈夫.这在主里面是相宜的.3:18
2. 你们作丈夫的,要爱你们的妻子.不可苦待她们.3:19
3. 你们作儿女的,要凡事听从父母,因为这是主所喜悦的.3:20
4. 你们作父亲的,不要惹儿女的气,恐怕他们失了志气.3:21
愿主赐福保守各位直到永远! 二零一一年九月二十五日讲这篇.
Who deserve to rest in the bosom of the Lord after death?Many people like to use this line for comfort in the lost of love ones!Today lets us find out what says in the Bible. Who deserve it?A. Main scripture for this study: Luke 16:22 It came to pass, that the beggar died, and that he was carried away by the angels into Abraham's bosom: and the rich man also died, and was buried.1. In my study I found Abraham’s bosom means the seat next to Abraham.2. Bosom also means receiving the same blessedness as Abraham received!3. Lk.16:27-31 tell how Lazarus received the same blessedness as Abraham did! They have Moses and the Prophets, let them listen to them. Lk.16:29 Nowadays in the New Testament this has become let them listen to what says in the New Testament Bible! (If you do not understand, Please ask for help!) If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the death. Lk.16:31 (Moses and the Prophets represent the Old Testament Bible.)B. Who deserve to rest in the bosom of the Lord after death? Yes, Abraham kind of people may rest in the bosom of the Lord after death!1. James 2:21-24 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, in that he offered up Isaac his son upon the altar? You see that faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect; and the scripture was fulfilled which said, And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned unto him for righteousness; and he was called the friend of God. You see that by works a man is justified, and not only by faith.2. Heb.11:17-18 By faith Abraham, when God tested him, offered Isaac as a sacrifice. He who had received the promises was about to sacrifice his only son, even he to whom it was said, in Isaac shall thy seed be called: Even though God had said to him, "It is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned.3. There was one of the Lord’s disciple literally reclined in his bosom! There was at the table reclining in Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved. John 13:234. The thief who was nailed at the cross besides Jesus was the luckiest one! He said, Jesus, remember me when you come in your kingdom. Jesus said to him, verily I say to you, today you will be in paradise with me.Lk.23:42-435. 1 Jn.2:5-6 But whoso keep his word, in him verily hath the love of God been perfected. Hereby we know that we are in him: he that said he abides in him ought himself also to walk even as he walked.6. 1 Jn.5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. C. God’s chosen people are to rest in the Lord after death! Col.3:12-4:21. Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 3:122. Forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. 3:133. Above all these put on love, which binds them all in one Church of Christ. 4. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. 3:165. Whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord. Brief description of God’s chosen people’s family: Col3:18-21Wives, submit to your husbands. Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them. Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord. Fathers, do not embitter your children, or they will become discouraged. 3:18-21May the Lord bless you and keep you always. Preach this on September 25, 2011.
