【中英文生命读经】山顶上的异象，意思是我们该听主耶稣-等候晨星


山顶上的异象意思是我们该听主耶稣
当主问彼得说，地上的君王是向自己的儿子，还是向外人征税时，彼得回答说，『向外人。』在道理和神学上，彼得答对了。当主对他说，『既然如此，儿子就可以免了，』彼得必定目瞪口呆。主似乎说，『彼得，你忘了我是神儿子的启示吗？在山顶上你看见我是神的儿子。』殿税不是纳给世上的政府。征收殿税的目的，乃是应付神殿（神在地上的居所）的花费。根据出埃及三十和三十八章，每个以色列人都必须纳殿税顾到主的居所。因为耶稣是神的儿子，祂就不必纳这税。主说儿子可以免了，指明祂是神的儿子，免纳丁税。彼得听见这话之后，李一情 不知道该说什么。他可能同意说，『是的，儿子免税。你既是神的儿子，就可以免税。主阿，很抱歉，我那样回答名片王 。我忘了启示与异象。我得着了你是神儿子的启示，也看见了你是神儿子的异象；但试验来了，我就把这一切忘了。主阿，请赦免我。』
三　因着基督这位顶替摩西的活立法者而有的弹性
二十七节说，『但为免绊跌他们，你要到海边去钓鱼，拿起先钓上来的鱼，开它的口，就必找到一块钱，可以拿去给他们，作你我的殿税。』主说服彼得，祂不用纳殿税之后大口啃英语 ，这位新约的立法者，今日的摩西，就吩咐彼得去替祂纳税。主特意这样作，为要教导彼得，在神新约的经纶里景县龙华吧 ，祂是那独一的一位；摩西、以利亚、彼得或其它任何人，都没有说话和下命令的地位。
四　藉着基督这位顶替以利亚的活申言者所预言的神迹而有的应用
主封住彼得的口以后，这位新约的申言者，今日的以利亚，就告诉彼得去钓鱼，好找到一块钱五邑通 。这预言果然应验了。不过彼得必须去钓鱼，并且等候一条口含一块钱的鱼出现；毫无疑问，这使他受到难为。当主改正并教导彼得时，仍然顾念他的需要黄慧丹。主对付我们的方式总是这样。
当彼得回答『纳』时，主却说『不；』但彼得被说服，主不必纳税时，主就告诉他说，祂要纳税。也许彼得就要去追收丁税的人，告诉他们主不必纳税。主嘱咐彼得去钓口含一块钱的鱼，用以纳税时，彼得可能一直在考虑这事。为免绊跌人，就必须纳税。我们不能征服主耶稣。凡祂所说的总是对的，凡我们向祂所题议的总是错的。基督是今日的摩西，祂制定律法。当祂说是，答案就是是；当祂说不，答案就是不。我们所说的算不得什么，祂所说的才算数。山顶上的异象，意思是我们该听主耶稣，不该听其它任何人，包括我们自己在内。那说是或说不的乃是基督，不是摩西。同样的事，主可以对别人说是，对你说不。祂若这样作，不要与祂争辩。
摘自《马太福音生命读经》第五十篇
The meaning of the vision on the mountaintop is that we should hear the Lord Jesus
Whenthe Lord asked Peter whether the kings of the earth received tax from theirsons or from strangers, Peter answered, “From strangers.” Doctrinally andtheologically Peter answered correctly. When the Lord said to him, “Then thesons are free郑宇盛 ,” Peter must have been stunned. It seems that the Lord wassaying, “Peter, have you forgotten the revelation that I am the Son? On themountaintop you saw Me as the Son.” The half-shekel was not a tax paid to thesecular government. It was collected for the purpose of meeting the expenses ofthe temple of God, God’s house on earth. According to Exodus 30 and 38, everyIsraelite had to pay a half-shekel to care for the Lord’s house. Because Jesusis the Son of God肖志恒 , there is no need for Him to pay this tax. When the Lord saidthat the sons are free, He was indicating that He, as the Son of God, was freefrom paying the poll tax. After hearing this, Peter did not know what to say.He might have just agreed and said, “Yes, the sons are free. Since You are theSon of God, You are free. Lord, I am sorry for answering the way I did. Iforgot the revelation and the vision. I received the revelation that You arethe Son of God, and I saw the vision of You as the Son of God. But when thetest came, I forgot all about it. Lord, please forgive me.”C.Flexibility by Christas the Living Law-giver Replacing Moses
Verse27 says, “But that we may not stumble them, go to the sea and cast a hook, andtake the first fish that comes up, and when you open its mouth you will find ashekel; take that and give it to them for Me and you.” After convincing Peterthat He did not need to pay the half-shekel, the Lord, as the New TestamentLaw-giver, today’s Moses, gave the command to Peter to pay it for Him. The Lorddid this purposely to teach Peter that in God’s New Testament economy, He isthe unique One; neither Moses, Elijah, Peter, nor anyone else has the positionto speak or to give a command.D.Application through a MiracleProphesied by Christas the Living Prophet Replacing Elijah
Aftershutting Peter’s mouth, the Lord, as the New Testament prophet, today’s Elijah,told him to go fishing to obtain a shekel in order to pay the tax. Thisprophecy was fulfilled. No doubt Peter was troubled about having to go fishingand perhaps having to wait a long time for a fish to appear with a shekel inits mouth. While the Lord was correcting and teaching Peter, He took care ofhis need. This is always the Lord’s way in dealing with us.
WhenPeter answered yes, the Lord said no. But when Peter was convinced that theLord did not need to pay the tax, the Lord told him that He would pay it.Perhaps Peter was about to go after the poll-tax gatherers and tell them thatthe Lord did not need to pay the tax. Peter might have been considering thiswhen the Lord charged him to catch a fish with a shekel in its mouth and to usethat shekel to pay the tax. The tax had to be paid in order not to stumbleothers. We cannot subdue the Lord Jesus. Whatever He says is always right, andwhatever we propose to Him is always wrong. Christ is today’s Moses; He makesthe laws. When He says yes, the answer is yes; and when He says no, it is no.What we say means nothing. It is what He says that counts. The meaning of thevision on the mountaintop is that we should hear the Lord Jesus and not anyoneelse, including ourselves. Christ辛格瑞拉 , not Moses凌娅 , is the One to say yes or no.Regarding the same matter总裁骗婚, the Lord may say yes to someone else and no to you.If he does this, do not argue with Him.
