WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.780 Good morning, brothers and sisters. 00:00:08.599 --> 00:00:15.960 My name is David. I'm one of the staff here at Watermark, and I'm responsible for the Mandarin ministry. 00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:20.640 And Karen is my co-worker here. 00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:30.600 So I'm thankful for her so that you can understand what I'm saying here today. 00:00:37.159 --> 00:00:40.320 Today is the last message in our series on Deuteronomy. 00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:48.760 When we think back over Deuteronomy, 00:00:48.759 --> 00:00:52.239 we see that God has made a covenant with the people of Israel. 00:00:55.099 --> 00:00:57.079 He's given them His sacred law. 00:01:02.119 --> 00:01:06.359 It speaks of God's holiness, righteousness, love and compassion. 00:01:08.659 --> 00:01:10.719 Not only did He give them this law, 00:01:13.420 --> 00:01:15.599 and He told them how they ought to love one another. 00:01:18.760 --> 00:01:24.640 How they should care for the widows and orphans and foreigners among them. 00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:30.620 And He even told them how they ought to celebrate and party. 00:01:30.620 --> 00:01:39.020 You know, we can always review and go back and listen to the previous sermons in this series. 00:01:39.020 --> 00:01:51.219 Today, we see that the people of Israel, they need to turn back to God. 00:01:51.219 --> 00:01:54.200 This is a weird feeling. 00:01:54.319 --> 00:01:55.900 Because where are they now? 00:01:56.500 --> 00:02:00.599 And we think this is so strange, because what is the situation that they are in? 00:02:00.819 --> 00:02:02.700 Because they are in the situation that they are in. 00:02:02.700 --> 00:02:02.939 They are in the place of the Lord. 00:02:02.939 --> 00:02:05.859 They immediately enter the place of the Lord. 00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:09.439 Actually, they are just outside of the promised land. 00:02:09.659 --> 00:02:12.340 They are about to enter into the promised land. 00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:14.460 But in the Bible, they are in the promised land. 00:02:14.960 --> 00:02:18.680 And why is this passage talking about turning back? 00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:25.680 This is like a couple of married married to a couple of married married. 00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:26.960 They say, 00:02:27.319 --> 00:02:35.780 It's as though you are telling people who are about to get married. 00:02:36.640 --> 00:02:39.860 In the future, when you are about to get divorced, 00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:42.640 this is how you repair the relationship. 00:02:42.639 --> 00:02:55.439 Because here, Moses is saying to the people who are about to enter in the promised land, 00:02:55.859 --> 00:02:59.359 After you go into exile, this is what you should do. 00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:08.060 In the future, it reminds us how, in God's perspective, 00:03:08.200 --> 00:03:11.300 A day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. 00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:14.500 I like a movie. 00:03:14.900 --> 00:03:17.860 There is a movie that I like. 00:03:17.860 --> 00:03:23.600 There is a type of movie that I like. 00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:25.120 For example, Back to the Future. 00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:30.800 Like The Wife of the Time Traveler. 00:03:31.060 --> 00:03:36.740 Recently, there is a movie that I like. 00:03:36.740 --> 00:03:38.380 Some amazing professor. 00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:40.580 Dr. Strange. 00:03:40.860 --> 00:03:42.780 Sorry, Dr. Strange. 00:03:42.780 --> 00:03:52.539 So, in Dr. Strange, there is a treasure. 00:03:52.539 --> 00:03:58.259 He can see the past and future. 00:03:59.379 --> 00:04:02.740 It enables him to see the past and the future. 00:04:02.740 --> 00:04:04.539 If you have this treasure, 00:04:04.699 --> 00:04:05.900 I see the wall on the table. 00:04:06.060 --> 00:04:07.120 If you look at the wall, 00:04:07.199 --> 00:04:08.420 it's a wall. 00:04:08.419 --> 00:04:11.739 You know, if you were to look into it, 00:04:11.780 --> 00:04:14.599 at my future, you would see I'm Apollo Bones. 00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:19.459 If you look at it from this angle, 00:04:19.539 --> 00:04:20.199 then I'm a baby. 00:04:20.719 --> 00:04:21.740 Now, we see the following. 00:04:21.740 --> 00:04:22.399 It says, 00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:25.060 it's a few hundred years. 00:04:25.599 --> 00:04:27.199 And we feel a little bit like this 00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:28.879 when we're looking at this passage today. 00:04:29.419 --> 00:04:31.139 You just look at it a little bit, 00:04:31.219 --> 00:04:33.659 and it's as though we fast-forwarded hundreds of years. 00:04:33.660 --> 00:04:44.880 Hundreds of years after Israel entered the promised land, 00:04:45.280 --> 00:04:46.440 they betrayed God, 00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:50.280 and God allowed them to go into exile. 00:04:53.660 --> 00:04:55.860 But God gave them an amazing promise. 00:04:59.860 --> 00:05:02.379 And as I thought about this promise, 00:05:02.379 --> 00:05:03.120 I thought it was, 00:05:03.579 --> 00:05:05.560 it's really an amazing promise. 00:05:12.180 --> 00:05:14.060 Because in human relationships, 00:05:14.300 --> 00:05:17.139 it is very rare to find this kind of a promise. 00:05:20.719 --> 00:05:21.519 Like, for example, 00:05:21.839 --> 00:05:23.819 if you have a dating couple, 00:05:25.959 --> 00:05:26.920 or even good friends, 00:05:26.980 --> 00:05:28.600 the relationship among good friends, 00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:33.879 if one party offends 00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:35.580 and does a lot of things 00:05:35.580 --> 00:05:36.780 against the other party, 00:05:37.280 --> 00:05:42.260 what typically happens is 00:05:42.260 --> 00:05:43.640 the other party gets really mad 00:05:43.640 --> 00:05:45.500 and doesn't want to have anything to do 00:05:45.500 --> 00:05:47.060 with the first offending party. 00:05:47.060 --> 00:05:56.220 In most situations, 00:05:56.439 --> 00:05:58.740 when one party offends the other party, 00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:00.699 even if the first party 00:06:00.699 --> 00:06:02.920 wants to come back and be reconciled, 00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:04.660 the offended party 00:06:04.660 --> 00:06:06.139 may or may not be willing 00:06:06.139 --> 00:06:08.000 to continue the relationship. 00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:14.680 But the God that we see 00:06:14.680 --> 00:06:16.040 in this passage of Scripture, 00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:17.680 He's very different. 00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:19.879 When the Israelites 00:06:19.879 --> 00:06:20.819 went to the other party, 00:06:21.220 --> 00:06:22.279 after they were beaten, 00:06:22.279 --> 00:06:22.740 the other party, 00:06:22.740 --> 00:06:23.639 the other party 00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:24.639 would still tell them 00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:26.019 to go back. 00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:27.259 Even though Israel 00:06:27.259 --> 00:06:28.519 has offended God, 00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:30.459 has gone and worshipped idols, 00:06:30.579 --> 00:06:31.740 has betrayed God, 00:06:31.740 --> 00:06:34.620 but God says to them, 00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:36.040 turn back to me. 00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:41.860 This is the context. 00:06:42.180 --> 00:06:43.180 This is what precedes 00:06:43.180 --> 00:06:44.900 our passage of Scripture today. 00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:48.379 We need to turn back, 00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:49.600 return to the Lord. 00:06:52.660 --> 00:06:54.019 Leave the path to death 00:06:54.019 --> 00:06:56.160 and return to the path of life. 00:06:57.620 --> 00:06:58.840 And return to our God. 00:06:58.839 --> 00:07:14.679 Let's look at our passage today. 00:07:15.019 --> 00:07:19.659 In verse 1, 2, 3, 8, 9, 10, 00:07:20.079 --> 00:07:22.219 it repeats and repeats 00:07:22.219 --> 00:07:24.219 the concept of turning back, 00:07:24.879 --> 00:07:27.039 restoring, turning again. 00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:32.620 In the original language, 00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:34.160 this is the same word 00:07:34.160 --> 00:07:35.720 repeated again and again. 00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:42.120 In both the Chinese 00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:43.900 and English translations, 00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:46.360 different words are used 00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:47.320 in these six verses, 00:07:47.720 --> 00:07:48.780 but the original text, 00:07:48.900 --> 00:07:49.820 it was the same word. 00:07:49.819 --> 00:07:54.860 In verse 1, 00:07:55.259 --> 00:07:57.120 in the ESV translates it, 00:07:57.240 --> 00:07:58.279 call them to mind. 00:07:59.019 --> 00:08:01.839 In verse 2, 00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:02.939 it says return. 00:08:03.579 --> 00:08:07.819 In verse 3, 00:08:08.079 --> 00:08:08.939 it uses the word restore 00:08:08.939 --> 00:08:11.379 and He'll gather you again. 00:08:11.660 --> 00:08:12.219 The 8th is 00:08:12.219 --> 00:08:13.980 in verse 8, 00:08:14.480 --> 00:08:15.439 in English, 00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:16.779 it uses the word again. 00:08:16.779 --> 00:08:17.560 The 9th is 00:08:17.560 --> 00:08:19.339 in verse 9, 00:08:19.459 --> 00:08:21.180 it uses the word again. 00:08:21.899 --> 00:08:23.279 In verse 9, 00:08:23.279 --> 00:08:27.599 but in the original language, 00:08:27.719 --> 00:08:29.199 the term is this idea 00:08:29.199 --> 00:08:30.259 of turning, 00:08:30.479 --> 00:08:31.059 returning. 00:08:31.060 --> 00:08:44.440 God's promise is, 00:08:44.440 --> 00:08:46.559 after the people of Israel 00:08:46.559 --> 00:08:48.419 have been exiled, 00:08:49.000 --> 00:08:51.120 that if the people of Israel 00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:52.519 turn back to God, 00:08:52.899 --> 00:08:54.820 God will turn back to them. 00:08:54.820 --> 00:09:00.360 In verse 3, 00:09:00.700 --> 00:09:01.180 it says, 00:09:01.300 --> 00:09:02.360 then the Lord your God 00:09:02.360 --> 00:09:03.760 will turn back. 00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:06.020 He'll restore your fortunes. 00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:07.640 神, 00:09:08.379 --> 00:09:09.520 这样的圣洁的神, 00:09:10.300 --> 00:09:11.160 他竟然 00:09:11.160 --> 00:09:13.140 向以色列明去回转. 00:09:14.100 --> 00:09:14.840 This God, 00:09:14.940 --> 00:09:15.780 this holy God, 00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:16.540 it is amazing 00:09:16.540 --> 00:09:18.400 that He would turn back 00:09:18.400 --> 00:09:19.400 to the people of Israel. 00:09:19.560 --> 00:09:21.500 It's amazing. 00:09:21.980 --> 00:09:22.280 If it's amazing. 00:09:22.280 --> 00:09:22.360 If it's amazing. 00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:22.440 If it's amazing. 00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:22.500 If it's amazing. 00:09:22.500 --> 00:09:22.540 If it's amazing. 00:09:22.540 --> 00:09:23.380 If it's amazing. 00:09:23.380 --> 00:09:23.440 If it's amazing. 00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:23.500 If it's amazing. 00:09:23.500 --> 00:09:23.540 If it's amazing. 00:09:23.540 --> 00:09:23.580 If it's amazing. 00:09:23.580 --> 00:09:23.600 If it's amazing. 00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:23.640 If it's amazing. 00:09:23.640 --> 00:09:23.660 If it's amazing. 00:09:23.660 --> 00:09:24.240 If it's amazing. 00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:24.800 It's amazing. 00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:25.299 If it's amazing. 00:09:25.899 --> 00:09:26.299 Again, 00:09:26.439 --> 00:09:27.019 we think about 00:09:27.019 --> 00:09:28.439 the illustration of marriage. 00:09:28.539 --> 00:09:29.759 If one party 00:09:29.759 --> 00:09:30.959 offends the other party. 00:09:31.199 --> 00:09:32.459 If it's amazing. 00:09:32.459 --> 00:09:32.979 If it's amazing. 00:09:32.979 --> 00:09:33.059 If it's amazing. 00:09:33.059 --> 00:09:33.299 If it's amazing. 00:09:33.299 --> 00:09:33.379 If it's amazing. 00:09:33.379 --> 00:09:33.419 If it's amazing. 00:09:33.419 --> 00:09:33.620 If it's amazing. 00:09:35.159 --> 00:09:36.219 Now let's say 00:09:36.219 --> 00:09:37.379 the party that 00:09:37.379 --> 00:09:39.120 the offending party. 00:09:39.299 --> 00:09:40.079 Let's say that 00:09:40.079 --> 00:09:41.579 he or she turned back. 00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:42.979 Next 10 years. 00:09:43.099 --> 00:09:43.599 You have to clean. 00:09:43.599 --> 00:09:43.799 If it's amazing. 00:09:43.799 --> 00:09:44.399 You have to clean. 00:09:45.159 --> 00:09:46.740 I think that person 00:09:46.740 --> 00:09:47.359 will have to do 00:09:47.359 --> 00:09:48.299 the dishes in the house 00:09:48.299 --> 00:09:49.379 for the next 10 years. 00:09:49.479 --> 00:09:54.359 And we can't buy 00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:54.940 a dishwasher. 00:09:54.940 --> 00:10:00.240 But God here says 00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:01.300 if you turn back 00:10:01.300 --> 00:10:02.440 I will turn back. 00:10:02.440 --> 00:10:10.540 Now the theme 00:10:10.540 --> 00:10:11.400 in the New Testament 00:10:11.400 --> 00:10:12.220 one theme 00:10:12.220 --> 00:10:13.100 in the New Testament 00:10:13.100 --> 00:10:13.860 is a theme of 00:10:13.860 --> 00:10:14.740 repentance. 00:10:14.740 --> 00:10:22.560 Our Lord Jesus 00:10:22.560 --> 00:10:23.379 He starts out 00:10:23.379 --> 00:10:24.000 His ministry 00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:24.560 and He says 00:10:24.560 --> 00:10:25.039 repent 00:10:25.039 --> 00:10:25.940 for the kingdom 00:10:25.940 --> 00:10:27.279 of God is near. 00:10:35.340 --> 00:10:36.360 God tells us here 00:10:36.360 --> 00:10:38.180 that we can always repent 00:10:38.180 --> 00:10:39.840 we can always turn back 00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:40.840 and He is here 00:10:40.840 --> 00:10:41.799 waiting for us 00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:43.000 to turn back to Him. 00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:48.419 Now what are we 00:10:48.419 --> 00:10:49.379 turning from 00:10:49.379 --> 00:10:50.480 and what are we 00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:51.299 turning to? 00:10:57.799 --> 00:10:59.279 We need to turn 00:10:59.279 --> 00:11:00.639 from idols 00:11:00.639 --> 00:11:04.240 and we need to turn 00:11:04.240 --> 00:11:05.639 to God's word. 00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:12.039 In verse 8 it says 00:11:12.039 --> 00:11:13.620 and you shall again 00:11:13.620 --> 00:11:14.679 obey the voice 00:11:14.679 --> 00:11:15.159 of the Lord 00:11:15.159 --> 00:11:16.500 and keep all His commandments. 00:11:16.500 --> 00:11:17.579 第九节说 00:11:17.579 --> 00:11:18.799 你要尽心尽性 00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:20.099 归向耶和华 00:11:20.099 --> 00:11:21.539 In verse 9 00:11:21.539 --> 00:11:22.860 in verse 10 00:11:22.860 --> 00:11:23.299 it says 00:11:23.299 --> 00:11:24.339 when you turn 00:11:24.339 --> 00:11:25.039 to the Lord 00:11:25.039 --> 00:11:26.819 with all your heart 00:11:26.819 --> 00:11:27.939 and with all your soul 00:11:27.939 --> 00:11:29.039 and you obey 00:11:29.039 --> 00:11:29.519 the voice 00:11:29.519 --> 00:11:30.459 of the Lord your God 00:11:30.459 --> 00:11:31.539 就是你要去 00:11:31.539 --> 00:11:33.019 听从耶和华的话 00:11:33.019 --> 00:11:34.539 and you need to keep 00:11:34.539 --> 00:11:35.179 His commandments 00:11:35.179 --> 00:11:36.279 and His statutes. 00:11:37.019 --> 00:11:37.639 我们转 00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:39.759 从这个偶像 00:11:39.759 --> 00:11:40.759 那里去转离 00:11:40.759 --> 00:11:42.460 We are turning 00:11:42.460 --> 00:11:44.139 away from idols 00:11:44.139 --> 00:11:46.740 这个偶像呢 00:11:46.740 --> 00:11:47.539 对大家来说 00:11:47.539 --> 00:11:49.039 可能不太容易理解 00:11:49.039 --> 00:11:50.980 But maybe in our society 00:11:50.980 --> 00:11:51.899 today we don't talk 00:11:51.899 --> 00:11:53.039 a lot about idols 00:11:53.039 --> 00:11:54.100 How do we understand 00:11:54.100 --> 00:11:54.579 idols? 00:11:54.579 --> 00:11:55.480 太简单 00:11:55.480 --> 00:11:56.539 Or we might have 00:11:56.539 --> 00:11:57.440 a very simplified 00:11:57.440 --> 00:11:58.320 understanding 00:11:58.320 --> 00:11:59.800 of the concept of idols 00:11:59.800 --> 00:12:01.019 因为我们经常会想 00:12:01.019 --> 00:12:02.320 是那些庙里的 00:12:02.320 --> 00:12:03.340 木胎泥塑 00:12:03.340 --> 00:12:04.620 Is it those 00:12:04.620 --> 00:12:07.259 wooden and metal statues 00:12:07.259 --> 00:12:08.279 in the temples? 00:12:08.920 --> 00:12:10.200 那些只是外在的 00:12:10.200 --> 00:12:12.259 Those are just external idols 00:12:12.259 --> 00:12:13.759 实际上有很多的偶像 00:12:13.759 --> 00:12:14.740 是在我们的心里 00:12:14.740 --> 00:12:15.560 是内在的 00:12:15.560 --> 00:12:16.980 But many many idols 00:12:16.980 --> 00:12:18.159 are internal 00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:19.180 They're in our hearts 00:12:19.180 --> 00:12:21.180 是我们自己的心里的罪 00:12:21.180 --> 00:12:23.159 It's our sin 00:12:23.159 --> 00:12:25.279 有人说人的心呢 00:12:25.279 --> 00:12:27.199 是一个偶像的工厂 00:12:27.199 --> 00:12:31.419 A famous preacher said that 00:12:31.419 --> 00:12:33.219 Our hearts are idol factories 00:12:33.219 --> 00:12:35.100 总是会制造出 00:12:35.100 --> 00:12:37.379 各种各样的这样的偶像 00:12:37.379 --> 00:12:39.500 We produce all sorts of different idols 00:12:39.500 --> 00:12:41.459 也有人呢 00:12:41.459 --> 00:12:42.299 去制造 00:12:42.299 --> 00:12:43.839 就是列出一些表格 00:12:43.839 --> 00:12:44.759 然后帮助我们 00:12:44.759 --> 00:12:45.839 去看到你的偶像 00:12:45.839 --> 00:12:46.519 到底是什么 00:12:46.519 --> 00:12:48.439 You know there are actually tools 00:12:48.439 --> 00:12:50.339 available that help you to identify 00:12:50.339 --> 00:12:51.199 What's your idol? 00:12:51.699 --> 00:12:52.759 不同的人有不同的偶像 00:12:52.759 --> 00:12:54.439 Different types of people 00:12:54.439 --> 00:12:56.519 manufacture different idols 00:12:56.519 --> 00:12:58.080 比如说大家都喜欢钱 00:12:58.080 --> 00:13:00.919 It's not that all of us love money 00:13:00.919 --> 00:13:01.919 但是钱呢 00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:02.939 背后所代表的 00:13:02.939 --> 00:13:03.600 却是不一样 00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:07.340 Or even for those of us 00:13:07.340 --> 00:13:08.159 who love money 00:13:08.159 --> 00:13:09.879 We may love money

some people 00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:17.460 They want money 00:13:17.460 --> 00:13:19.340 Because then they can live comfortably 00:13:19.340 --> 00:13:20.679 这种舒适呢 00:13:20.679 --> 00:13:21.720 就是他的偶像

因为希望别人 00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:30.200 得到别人的这样的称赞 00:13:30.200 --> 00:13:31.040 Some people 00:13:31.040 --> 00:13:31.740 They want money 00:13:31.740 --> 00:13:33.779 Because they want the acclaim of

神说我们要转向神的话 00:15:20.780 --> 00:15:21.980 We see here 00:15:21.980 --> 00:15:23.040 God says 00:15:23.040 --> 00:15:24.360 Turn to my word 00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:27.000 在这里边呢 00:15:27.000 -->

that 00:15:34.679 --> 00:15:35.299 His word 00:15:35.299 --> 00:15:37.500 It is not far from us 00:15:37.500 --> 00:15:38.679 就在你的口里 00:15:38.679 --> 00:15:39.579 就在你的心里 00:15:39.579 --> 00:15:41.139 The word is very near you 00:15:41.139 --> 00:15:42.179 It is in your mouth 00:15:42.179 --> 00:15:43.159 and in your heart 00:15:43.159 --> 00:15:45.000 这对我来说 00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:46.679 是很不容易理解的 00:15:46.679 --> 00:15:47.939 It's difficult for me 00:15:47.939 --> 00:15:49.319 to understand this actually 00:15:49.319 --> 00:15:50.459 为什么呢 00:15:50.459 --> 00:15:51.379 Why? 00:15:52.019 --> 00:15:53.439 因为当我去想 00:15:53.439 --> 00:15:55.059 理解神的话语的时候 00:15:55.059 --> 00:15:56.559 Because when I want to try 00:15:56.559 --> 00:15:57.939 to understand God's word 00:15:57.940 --> 00:16:01.040 我呢就需要漂洋过海 00:16:01.040 --> 00:16:02.400 I feel like 00:16:02.400 --> 00:16:04.720 I need to put in a lot of effort 00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:06.720 就去看呢 00:16:06.720 --> 00:16:07.460 说神啊 00:16:07.460 --> 00:16:08.200 你在这里边 00:16:08.200 --> 00:16:10.100 所说的到底是什么意思 00:16:10.100 --> 00:16:11.880 I need to spend a lot of time 00:16:11.880 --> 00:16:12.460 and study 00:16:12.460 --> 00:16:13.500 and try to understand 00:16:13.500 --> 00:16:15.400 What is God really trying to say 00:16:15.400 --> 00:16:16.260 in this passage 00:16:16.260 --> 00:16:19.340 但是对于以色列人 00:16:19.340 --> 00:16:20.580 他们真是蒙福的人 00:16:20.580 --> 00:16:22.340 But the people of Israel 00:16:22.340 --> 00:16:23.460 They were so blessed 00:16:23.460 --> 00:16:25.320 他们就从 00:16:25.320 --> 00:16:26.800 站在那里 00:16:26.800 --> 00:16:27.920 就听到这话语的时候 00:16:27.919 --> 00:16:29.360 其实就是他们的家乡话 00:16:29.360 --> 00:16:31.759 When they stood there 00:16:31.759 --> 00:16:33.839 and when they heard these words 00:16:33.839 --> 00:16:35.459 It was in their own language 00:16:35.459 --> 00:16:36.860 他不像我们还要去 00:16:36.860 --> 00:16:39.799 翻译成这个中文 00:16:39.799 --> 00:16:40.919 或者翻译成中文 00:16:40.919 --> 00:16:41.519 去这样的去 00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:43.039 When I'm studying the scripture 00:16:43.039 --> 00:16:44.819 Oh it had to have been translated 00:16:44.819 --> 00:16:45.620 into Chinese 00:16:45.620 --> 00:16:47.279 translated into English 00:16:47.279 --> 00:16:49.219 所以这话就在他们的口里 00:16:49.219 --> 00:16:50.899 就在他们的心里 00:16:50.899 --> 00:16:51.559 This word 00:16:51.559 --> 00:16:53.240 It was in their language 00:16:53.240 --> 00:16:54.459 And it was in their mouth 00:16:54.459 --> 00:16:55.500 And it was in their heart 00:16:55.500 --> 00:16:57.639 在心里是什么意思呢 00:16:57.639 --> 00:16:58.960 But what does it mean 00:16:58.960 --> 00:17:00.799 That this word was in their heart? 00:17:00.799 --> 00:17:02.559 就是以色列人 00:17:02.559 --> 00:17:04.339 他们对神的话呢 00:17:04.339 --> 00:17:05.879 就不断地这样的重复 00:17:05.879 --> 00:17:06.619 不断地去说 00:17:06.619 --> 00:17:07.460 不断地去读 00:17:07.460 --> 00:17:08.379 最后呢 00:17:08.379 --> 00:17:09.720 内化在他们的心里 00:17:09.720 --> 00:17:14.079 God told them to keep on meditating on 00:17:14.079 --> 00:17:17.019 To keep on thinking on 00:17:17.019 --> 00:17:19.960 And repeating these words 00:17:19.960 --> 00:17:22.539 Until these words were in their hearts 00:17:22.539 --> 00:17:24.799 直到神的话成为他们生命的一部分 00:17:24.799 --> 00:17:27.360 And until God's word became part of their lives 00:17:27.359 --> 00:17:29.359 这就是神的话呢 00:17:29.359 --> 00:17:30.119 要在他们心里 00:17:30.119 --> 00:17:31.539 我们如果去以色列的话 00:17:31.539 --> 00:17:32.719 会看到很多的人 00:17:32.719 --> 00:17:33.819 在这个西墙那边 00:17:33.819 --> 00:17:35.939 在那里不断地去诵读神的话 00:17:35.939 --> 00:17:38.479 And even when we go to Israel today 00:17:38.479 --> 00:17:40.500 We find, for example 00:17:40.500 --> 00:17:42.839 Many many Jewish people 00:17:42.839 --> 00:17:43.779 At the wailing wall 00:17:43.779 --> 00:17:44.639 And they're repeating 00:17:44.640 --> 00:17:45.780 repeating, repeating, repeating 00:17:45.780 --> 00:17:46.820 God's words 00:17:46.820 --> 00:17:49.680 就是要把神的话去记在心里 00:17:49.680 --> 00:17:52.700 Until God's words are in their hearts 00:17:52.700 --> 00:17:54.060 不同的人呢 00:17:54.060 --> 00:17:55.259 对神的话呢 00:17:55.259 --> 00:17:56.420 就是这样的记忆呢 00:17:56.420 --> 00:17:57.060 不一样 00:17:57.060 --> 00:17:58.940 去画的时间读也不一样 00:17:58.940 --> 00:18:00.620 Now all of us 00:18:00.620 --> 00:18:03.040 We spend different amounts of time 00:18:03.040 --> 00:18:04.480 And use different methods 00:18:04.480 --> 00:18:06.140 To read God's word 00:18:06.140 --> 00:18:07.320 但是呢 00:18:07.320 --> 00:18:08.700 当我们去读神的话语 00:18:08.700 --> 00:18:10.080 彼此读神的话语的时候 00:18:10.080 --> 00:18:11.040 我们就会能够 00:18:11.040 --> 00:18:12.140 把神的话语 00:18:12.140 --> 00:18:13.740 变化成我们的生命 00:18:13.740 --> 00:18:15.799 But as we spend time in God's word 00:18:15.799 --> 00:18:17.940 God's word enters into our lives 00:18:17.940 --> 00:18:22.380 因为第30章6节里面 00:18:22.380 --> 00:18:22.740 告诉我们 00:18:22.740 --> 00:18:25.400 要尽心尽性爱耶和华你的神 00:18:25.400 --> 00:18:28.079 In verse 6 it says that 00:18:28.079 --> 00:18:30.980 We are to love the Lord your God 00:18:30.980 --> 00:18:32.039 With all your heart 00:18:32.039 --> 00:18:33.160 And with all your soul 00:18:33.160 --> 00:18:35.480 就是我们是怎么样去爱神呢 00:18:35.480 --> 00:18:38.539 But then how do we actually love God? 00:18:39.140 --> 00:18:41.039 因为主耶稣基督曾经说过 00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:42.900 Our Lord Jesus he said 00:18:42.900 --> 00:18:45.960 爱我的 00:18:45.960 --> 00:18:47.940 遵行我诫命的 00:18:47.940 --> 00:18:48.940 这就是爱我了 00:18:48.940 --> 00:18:50.660 If you obey my commandments 00:18:50.660 --> 00:18:52.860 You love me 00:18:52.860 --> 00:18:54.740 这就是我们 00:18:54.740 --> 00:18:56.019 如果说想去爱神 00:18:56.019 --> 00:18:57.759 我们所能够做的 00:18:57.759 --> 00:18:59.240 What can we do 00:18:59.240 --> 00:19:00.320 If we want to love God? 00:19:00.640 --> 00:19:03.100 We can love His commandments 00:19:03.100 --> 00:19:04.540 这个爱神 00:19:04.540 --> 00:19:06.340 其实确实是很难理解的 00:19:06.340 --> 00:19:09.080 It's very difficult to understand 00:19:09.079 --> 00:19:11.059 如果说有一个人 00:19:11.059 --> 00:19:12.019 在你旁边 00:19:12.019 --> 00:19:12.639 你去爱他 00:19:12.639 --> 00:19:13.460 这很容易 00:19:13.460 --> 00:19:15.759 I mean when a human being 00:19:15.759 --> 00:19:17.000 is standing next to you 00:19:17.000 --> 00:19:18.899 Maybe it's easier to understand 00:19:18.899 --> 00:19:19.740 how to love them 00:19:19.740 --> 00:19:20.740 当然对你来说 00:19:20.740 --> 00:19:21.799 或许也很难 00:19:21.799 --> 00:19:23.460 Or maybe it's also very difficult 00:19:23.460 --> 00:19:25.799 但是对于一个神 00:19:25.799 --> 00:19:26.519 你看不见神 00:19:26.519 --> 00:19:27.400 你怎么样去爱他 00:19:27.400 --> 00:19:28.700 How do you love a God 00:19:28.700 --> 00:19:29.880 Who you can't see 00:19:29.880 --> 00:19:31.299 神告诉我们 00:19:31.299 --> 00:19:32.400 就是爱他的话 00:19:32.400 --> 00:19:33.680 去遵行他的禁忍 00:19:33.680 --> 00:19:35.420 God says if you love His word 00:19:35.420 --> 00:19:37.200 And you obey His commandments 00:19:37.200 --> 00:19:38.660 You're loving Him 00:19:38.660 --> 00:19:40.440 对于爱这个词汇呢 00:19:40.440 --> 00:19:42.380 我前一段时间 00:19:42.380 --> 00:19:43.340 去学到了一个 00:19:43.340 --> 00:19:45.600 这样一个新的拼写方法 00:19:45.600 --> 00:19:47.380 Recently I learned 00:19:47.380 --> 00:19:49.559 A new way of spelling the word love 00:19:49.559 --> 00:19:50.779 就是在 00:19:50.779 --> 00:19:52.779 因为我现在是 00:19:52.779 --> 00:19:53.940 两个孩子的爸爸了 00:19:53.940 --> 00:19:56.559 Because I now have two little ones 00:19:56.559 --> 00:19:57.639 我就想 00:19:57.639 --> 00:19:59.879 我该怎么样去爱自己的孩子 00:19:59.879 --> 00:20:00.819 And I want to learn 00:20:00.819 --> 00:20:02.299 How to better love my children 00:20:02.299 --> 00:20:03.720 然后我听了有人 00:20:03.720 --> 00:20:06.279 上了一堂就是这样的一个课 00:20:06.279 --> 00:20:06.919 就是说 00:20:06.919 --> 00:20:08.839 训练孩子的这样的课 00:20:08.839 --> 00:20:11.419 And so I attended a parenting seminar 00:20:11.419 --> 00:20:13.440 有一位老爷爷呢 00:20:13.440 --> 00:20:14.940 他就是这样说的 00:20:14.940 --> 00:20:15.759 And this 00:20:15.759 --> 00:20:19.099 This grandfather there said 00:20:19.099 --> 00:20:19.700 他说 00:20:19.700 --> 00:20:21.759 爱你这个词汇是这样拼写的 00:20:21.759 --> 00:20:24.299 This is how you spell the word love 00:20:24.299 --> 00:20:26.980 现在大家跟我来一起拼写 00:20:26.980 --> 00:20:29.119 We can spell it together 00:20:29.119 --> 00:20:31.619 他拼写是这样的 00:20:31.619 --> 00:20:34.079 爱的拼写是 00:20:34.079 --> 00:20:36.819 T-I-M-E 00:20:36.819 --> 00:20:39.579 I spell love 00:20:39.579 --> 00:20:42.539 T-I-M-E 00:20:42.539 --> 00:20:43.740 什么意思呢 00:20:43.740 --> 00:20:44.559 What does this mean? 00:20:45.119 --> 00:20:46.460 就是说当你爱什么 00:20:46.460 --> 00:20:49.740 你就会花时间在什么事情上 00:20:49.740 --> 00:20:50.960 Whatever you love 00:20:50.960 --> 00:20:52.819 You're going to spend time on 00:20:52.819 --> 00:20:55.279 如果说你爱爬山 00:20:55.279 --> 00:20:57.819 你就花很多时间去爬山 00:20:57.819 --> 00:20:58.920 If you love hiking 00:20:58.920 --> 00:21:00.359 You're going to spend time hiking 00:21:00.359 --> 00:21:01.519 若你爱打球 00:21:01.519 --> 00:21:03.339 你会花很多时间去打球 00:21:03.339 --> 00:21:04.880 If you love playing basketball 00:21:04.880 --> 00:21:06.700 You're going to spend time playing basketball 00:21:06.700 --> 00:21:08.539 若你爱你的男朋友和女朋友 00:21:08.539 --> 00:21:11.120 你就会花很多的时间跟他在一起 00:21:11.120 --> 00:21:12.700 If you love your boyfriend or girlfriend 00:21:12.700 --> 00:21:14.559 You're going to spend a lot of time with them 00:21:14.559 --> 00:21:16.420 若你爱你的妻子或丈夫呢 00:21:16.420 --> 00:21:18.640 你也一样会花时间与他们在一起 00:21:18.640 --> 00:21:20.180 Also if you love your spouse 00:21:20.180 --> 00:21:22.020 You're going to spend time with them 00:21:22.020 --> 00:21:23.580 对我来说 00:21:23.580 --> 00:21:24.160 就是说我要 00:21:24.160 --> 00:21:26.340 如果说我去爱我的孩子 00:21:26.340 --> 00:21:28.640 我就要花时间在他们身上 00:21:28.640 --> 00:21:30.280 And so for me I realized 00:21:30.280 --> 00:21:32.180 If I want to love my children 00:21:32.180 --> 00:21:34.180 I need to spend time with them 00:21:34.180 --> 00:21:35.580 当我去检验自己都发现 00:21:35.580 --> 00:21:37.700 哇 其实如果按这个标准来说 00:21:37.700 --> 00:21:39.460 其实我对孩子的爱真的是很少 00:21:39.460 --> 00:21:41.700 And for me I realized 00:21:41.700 --> 00:21:43.120 That if I use this standard 00:21:43.120 --> 00:21:45.440 I don't love my kids that much 00:21:45.440 --> 00:21:46.980 所以对我来说 00:21:46.980 --> 00:21:48.080 我就要有一个回转 00:21:48.079 --> 00:21:50.039 So I need to turn to them 00:21:50.039 --> 00:21:52.119 我就要花时间在他们身上 00:21:52.119 --> 00:21:53.859 I need to spend time on them 00:21:53.859 --> 00:21:55.740 对于这里边呢 00:21:55.740 --> 00:21:58.279 也就是说我们爱神 00:21:58.279 --> 00:22:00.299 回归到神的话有哪里 00:22:00.299 --> 00:22:02.079 我们到底花了多长时间在哪里 00:22:02.079 --> 00:22:04.799 And so we kind of have to ask ourselves 00:22:04.799 --> 00:22:06.779 If we are turning to God 00:22:06.779 --> 00:22:08.240 If we're turning to His word 00:22:08.240 --> 00:22:10.399 Are we spending time in God's word? 00:22:10.400 --> 00:22:13.880 我们是不是也把神的话放在我们的心里? 00:22:13.880 --> 00:22:16.500 Are we putting His word into our hearts? 00:22:16.500 --> 00:22:18.480 我们是不是也把神的话呢 00:22:18.480 --> 00:22:19.360 放在我们的嘴里? 00:22:19.740 --> 00:22:21.960 Are we putting His word on our lips? 00:22:22.240 --> 00:22:22.860 In our mouths? 00:22:23.100 --> 00:22:24.519 彼此去说神的话? 00:22:25.120 --> 00:22:27.060 And speaking God's word to one another 00:22:27.060 --> 00:22:28.380 彼此教导神的话? 00:22:28.380 --> 00:22:30.340 And even teaching one another 00:22:30.340 --> 00:22:33.040 这就是神说告诉我们 00:22:33.040 --> 00:22:34.680 我们向哪里就回转? 00:22:35.420 --> 00:22:37.920 And this is the way that God tells us 00:22:37.920 --> 00:22:41.960 因为神是这样的爱我们 00:22:41.960 --> 00:22:44.920 Since God has so loved us 00:22:44.920 --> 00:22:49.820 祂就把所有我们生命当中需要知道的话语 00:22:49.820 --> 00:22:52.080 都记录在祂的圣经当中 00:22:52.080 --> 00:22:54.180 He's given us the Bible 00:22:54.180 --> 00:22:58.480 Which has all the words that we need for life and godliness 00:22:58.480 --> 00:23:00.060 让我们知道该怎样爱他 00:23:00.060 --> 00:23:01.500 怎样爱世人 00:23:01.500 --> 00:23:05.060 These words tell us how we can love him 00:23:05.060 --> 00:23:06.720 And how we can love one another 00:23:06.720 --> 00:23:08.600 在这里边我们看到 00:23:08.600 --> 00:23:11.620 神呢就在以色列 00:23:11.620 --> 00:23:14.120 他们去离开 00:23:14.120 --> 00:23:16.240 被逐出应许之地以后 00:23:16.240 --> 00:23:17.880 神呢去应许他们 00:23:17.880 --> 00:23:19.680 让他们去回到这应许地 00:23:19.680 --> 00:23:22.759 So this is something 00:23:22.759 --> 00:23:25.440 A promise God offers to the Israelites 00:23:25.440 --> 00:23:28.120 After they have left the promised land 00:23:28.120 --> 00:23:30.539 They have been taken off into exile 00:23:30.539 --> 00:23:32.059 And God says 00:23:32.059 --> 00:23:34.200 This is how you are to turn back 00:23:34.200 --> 00:23:37.180 神就一直在等待他们的回转 00:23:37.180 --> 00:23:40.140 And God is waiting for them to turn back 00:23:40.140 --> 00:23:42.660 神呢也说在 00:23:42.660 --> 00:23:45.860 这话语当中呢 00:23:45.860 --> 00:23:47.460 是第19节 00:23:47.460 --> 00:23:50.500 我今日忽天换地向你做见证 00:23:50.500 --> 00:23:53.480 我将生死或福沉命在你面前 00:23:53.480 --> 00:24:04.680 这里边是生死 00:24:04.680 --> 00:24:06.259 福祸 00:24:06.259 --> 00:24:08.940 Here we see in contrast 00:24:08.940 --> 00:24:09.079 来说 00:24:09.079 --> 00:24:09.920 来说 00:24:09.920 --> 00:24:10.240 来说 00:24:10.240 --> 00:24:11.279 来说 00:24:11.279 --> 00:24:11.640 来说 00:24:11.640 --> 00:24:12.200 来说 00:24:12.200 --> 00:24:12.279 来说 00:24:12.279 --> 00:24:13.579 很多这样对立的观念 00:24:13.579 --> 00:24:13.660 来说 00:24:13.660 --> 00:24:14.460 来说 00:24:14.460 --> 00:24:15.140 来说 00:24:15.140 --> 00:24:15.240 来说 00:24:15.240 --> 00:24:15.599 来说 00:24:15.599 --> 00:24:16.240 来说 00:24:16.240 --> 00:24:16.579 来说 00:24:16.579 --> 00:24:16.920 来说 00:24:16.920 --> 00:24:17.599 来说 00:24:17.599 --> 00:24:18.039 来说 00:24:18.039 --> 00:24:18.519 我可以看到 00:24:18.519 --> 00:24:18.779 来说 00:24:18.779 --> 00:24:19.220 来说 00:24:19.220 --> 00:24:20.099 我可以看到很多条不同的道路 00:24:20.099 --> 00:24:21.700 In our lives 00:24:21.700 --> 00:24:23.359 We see so many different paths 00:24:23.359 --> 00:24:24.940 但是其实 00:24:24.940 --> 00:24:26.180 归根界里 00:24:26.180 --> 00:24:27.079 只有两条道路 00:24:27.079 --> 00:24:28.659 But actually 00:24:28.659 --> 00:24:31.059 It all boils down to two paths 00:24:31.059 --> 00:24:32.000 一条呢 00:24:32.000 --> 00:24:33.339 是死亡的道路 00:24:33.339 --> 00:24:35.279 One is a path toward death 00:24:35.279 --> 00:24:35.940 一条呢 00:24:35.940 --> 00:24:37.539 是生的道路 00:24:37.539 --> 00:24:39.200 One path is toward life 00:24:39.200 --> 00:24:39.960 神说呢 00:24:39.960 --> 00:24:41.700 你们要选择生命 00:24:41.700 --> 00:24:42.720 离开死亡之路 00:24:42.720 --> 00:24:43.619 选择生命 00:24:43.619 --> 00:24:44.959 And God says 00:24:44.959 --> 00:24:45.819 Choose life 00:24:45.819 --> 00:24:46.919 Don't choose death 00:24:46.919 --> 00:24:48.619 在这里面呢 00:24:48.619 --> 00:24:49.839 让我想起来 00:24:49.839 --> 00:24:51.579 上周我碰到的一个人 00:24:51.579 --> 00:24:53.519 This makes me think of 00:24:53.519 --> 00:24:55.219 Someone I met last week 00:24:55.219 --> 00:24:56.799 这个人过去的生活 00:24:56.799 --> 00:24:57.739 是什么样子的呢 00:24:57.739 --> 00:24:58.679 How did this 00:24:58.679 --> 00:25:00.699 This is how this person used to live 00:25:00.699 --> 00:25:02.119 他过去的生活 00:25:02.119 --> 00:25:03.079 可以说是 00:25:03.079 --> 00:25:04.279 五毒俱全 00:25:04.279 --> 00:25:08.919 It seemed that he had everything 00:25:08.919 --> 00:25:11.419 他曾经吸毒 00:25:11.420 --> 00:25:15.000 Everything in terms of drugs 00:25:15.000 --> 00:25:15.900 And alcohol 00:25:15.900 --> 00:25:18.240 他也曾经 00:25:18.240 --> 00:25:20.539 具有这样不正当的关系 00:25:20.539 --> 00:25:24.480 He had all sorts of 00:25:24.480 --> 00:25:27.800 Sexually immoral conduct 00:25:27.800 --> 00:25:29.300 其实他的生活呢 00:25:29.300 --> 00:25:30.000 其实如果说 00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:31.580 从这个富裕的条件来说 00:25:31.580 --> 00:25:32.320 倒也还不错 00:25:32.320 --> 00:25:34.580 I mean materially 00:25:34.580 --> 00:25:36.980 He was pretty well off 00:25:36.980 --> 00:25:38.920 比如说 00:25:38.920 --> 00:25:40.740 他曾经开过夜总会 00:25:40.740 --> 00:25:41.539 就有六件 00:25:41.539 --> 00:25:44.279 He had owned 00:25:44.279 --> 00:25:45.980 很多不同的网站 00:25:45.980 --> 00:25:51.400 但是呢 00:25:51.400 --> 00:25:53.740 他在这种罪的生活当中的时候呢 00:25:53.740 --> 00:25:54.740 他就 00:25:54.740 --> 00:25:56.740 他自己是不知道的 00:25:56.740 --> 00:26:00.299 But as he was living in these ways 00:26:00.299 --> 00:26:02.559 Like he didn't know really 00:26:02.559 --> 00:26:04.019 What he was living for 00:26:04.019 --> 00:26:06.279 他也跟妻子离婚了 00:26:06.279 --> 00:26:07.740 He divorced his wife 00:26:07.740 --> 00:26:09.779 当然就是在这种 00:26:09.779 --> 00:26:11.240 毒瘾当中 00:26:11.240 --> 00:26:12.120 生活当中 00:26:12.120 --> 00:26:13.440 他会过得 00:26:13.440 --> 00:26:15.180 也是有很多挣扎的 00:26:15.180 --> 00:26:17.299 Obviously he was also 00:26:17.299 --> 00:26:18.400 going through a lot of struggles 00:26:18.400 --> 00:26:19.960 from all of his addictions 00:26:19.960 --> 00:26:20.880 Be it to drugs 00:26:20.880 --> 00:26:22.079 alcohol or sex 00:26:22.079 --> 00:26:23.380 直到有一天 00:26:23.380 --> 00:26:24.640 一位传道人 00:26:24.640 --> 00:26:25.759 跟他去传讲福音 00:26:25.759 --> 00:26:27.400 But one day he heard the gospel 00:26:27.400 --> 00:26:28.559 from a preacher 00:26:28.559 --> 00:26:30.420 在这种福音的教导当中 00:26:30.420 --> 00:26:31.700 慢慢地他就有了转变 00:26:31.700 --> 00:26:34.019 And as he started to receive 00:26:34.019 --> 00:26:35.779 the teaching of the gospel 00:26:35.779 --> 00:26:37.480 His life started to change 00:26:37.480 --> 00:26:38.860 他就完全转离了 00:26:38.860 --> 00:26:40.279 他过去这种罪的生活 00:26:40.279 --> 00:26:41.460 He turned away 00:26:41.460 --> 00:26:43.680 from his entire previous lifestyle 00:26:43.680 --> 00:26:45.200 而且他又去 00:26:45.200 --> 00:26:48.100 用尽千方百计 00:26:48.100 --> 00:26:50.360 去让他的妻子要回来 00:26:50.360 --> 00:26:53.420 And he even put a lot of effort 00:26:53.420 --> 00:26:56.279 into pursuing his wife back 00:26:56.279 --> 00:26:58.180 当中经历了很多很多的挣扎 00:26:58.180 --> 00:27:01.000 After many more struggles 00:27:01.000 --> 00:27:03.259 当他去回转了以后 00:27:03.259 --> 00:27:05.299 他就花很多时间 00:27:05.299 --> 00:27:06.399 在神的话语上 00:27:06.399 --> 00:27:08.220 As he turned to God 00:27:08.220 --> 00:27:10.740 He spent time in God's word 00:27:10.740 --> 00:27:12.000 现在呢 00:27:12.000 --> 00:27:14.299 也在不断地去传讲神的话语 00:27:14.299 --> 00:27:16.960 And now he spends a lot of his time 00:27:16.960 --> 00:27:18.759 actually sharing God's word with others 00:27:18.759 --> 00:27:20.379 每周讲道可能要两次 00:27:20.379 --> 00:27:22.519 On typical Sunday 00:27:22.519 --> 00:27:24.420 He'll preach twice 00:27:24.420 --> 00:27:25.980 查经班就得带三次 00:27:25.980 --> 00:27:30.059 当他在回到过去 00:27:30.059 --> 00:27:33.299 一起生活的那些 00:27:33.299 --> 00:27:34.700 比如说黑社会啊 00:27:34.700 --> 00:27:36.599 或什么那些人身边的时候 00:27:36.599 --> 00:27:38.380 And when he goes back 00:27:38.380 --> 00:27:40.079 to his old friends 00:27:40.079 --> 00:27:41.759 including some who are gang members 00:27:41.759 --> 00:27:43.779 他说 哇 你真的是不一样 00:27:43.779 --> 00:27:45.079 They say 00:27:45.079 --> 00:27:47.099 You are a totally different person 00:27:47.099 --> 00:27:49.039 当那些人来到他家中的时候 00:27:49.039 --> 00:27:51.160 He invites them over to his house 00:27:51.160 --> 00:27:52.000 When they come over 00:27:52.000 --> 00:27:53.759 他说 你们家真的有平安 00:27:53.759 --> 00:27:54.980 And they say 00:27:54.980 --> 00:27:57.700 There's a sense of peace in your home 00:27:57.700 --> 00:28:00.180 你们家有神 00:28:00.180 --> 00:28:02.360 There's God in your house 00:28:02.359 --> 00:28:04.119 这就是回转 00:28:04.119 --> 00:28:07.639 This is what it means to turn back 00:28:07.639 --> 00:28:08.839 也就是悔改 00:28:08.839 --> 00:28:12.979 And it's related to repenting 00:28:12.979 --> 00:28:14.059 圣洁的神 00:28:14.059 --> 00:28:18.359 跟这个罪是一点关系都不可能有的 00:28:18.359 --> 00:28:24.679 当我们有在罪中生活的时候 00:28:24.679 --> 00:28:27.159 我们是无法去面对 00:28:27.159 --> 00:28:30.039 没法去在上帝的同在当中 00:28:30.039 --> 00:28:31.859 If we're living in sin 00:28:31.859 --> 00:28:35.879 We cannot be living with God who is holy 00:28:35.879 --> 00:28:38.259 而且当我们是这个罪人的时候 00:28:38.259 --> 00:28:41.639 我们自然而然就会过罪的生活 00:28:41.640 --> 00:28:43.660 And because we're sinners 00:28:43.660 --> 00:28:46.020 We very naturally live sinful lives 00:28:46.020 --> 00:28:49.020 就像我们面前的这些以色列人一样 00:28:49.020 --> 00:28:50.500 Just like these Israelites 00:28:50.500 --> 00:28:53.240 他们就最后拜偶像 00:28:53.240 --> 00:28:55.300 然后被逐出允许之地 00:28:55.300 --> 00:28:56.440 They worship idols 00:28:56.440 --> 00:28:59.660 And then they were driven out of the promised land 00:28:59.660 --> 00:29:00.860 所以最后呢 00:29:00.860 --> 00:29:03.880 还是神要去解决这个问题 00:29:03.880 --> 00:29:06.720 And our God 00:29:06.720 --> 00:29:09.059 He takes the initiative 00:29:09.059 --> 00:29:11.440 And He solves this problem 00:29:11.440 --> 00:29:14.559 他就拆检他的独生子来到这个世界当中 00:29:14.559 --> 00:29:18.600 So He sent His only Son into this world 00:29:18.600 --> 00:29:21.100 并且为我们的罪被钉在十字架上 00:29:21.100 --> 00:29:22.900 To die for our sins on the cross 00:29:22.900 --> 00:29:25.280 这个罪是如此之大 00:29:25.280 --> 00:29:29.200 The magnitude of the sin 00:29:29.200 --> 00:29:31.100 Was born by Him 00:29:31.100 --> 00:29:33.360 当主耶稣基督在十字架上的时候 00:29:33.360 --> 00:29:35.540 祂都要去跟父说 00:29:35.540 --> 00:29:37.540 我的神 我的神 00:29:37.540 --> 00:29:39.000 你为什么离弃我 00:29:39.000 --> 00:29:39.960 On the cross 00:29:39.960 --> 00:29:41.220 Jesus said 00:29:41.220 --> 00:29:42.460 My God, my God 00:29:42.460 --> 00:29:44.360 Why have you forsaken me? 00:29:45.820 --> 00:29:46.940 这就是神的作为 00:29:46.940 --> 00:29:49.000 That is what God did 00:29:49.000 --> 00:29:51.400 是我们人所做不到的 00:29:51.400 --> 00:29:55.160 We could not do that for ourselves 00:29:55.160 --> 00:29:58.660 这也是第六节当中所告诉我们的道理 00:29:58.660 --> 00:30:02.259 And this is what it's talking about in verse 6 00:30:02.259 --> 00:30:04.360 第六节当中是这样说的 00:30:04.360 --> 00:30:06.700 耶和华你的神 00:30:06.700 --> 00:30:09.860 必将你心里和你后裔心里的污秽除掉 00:30:09.860 --> 00:30:12.400 And the Lord your God 00:30:12.400 --> 00:30:15.900 Will circumcise or get rid of what is unclean 00:30:15.900 --> 00:30:18.360 In your heart and the heart of your offspring 00:30:18.359 --> 00:30:20.539 中文我们看得不清楚 00:30:20.539 --> 00:30:23.599 在英文里面它是表达比较清楚 00:30:23.599 --> 00:30:24.399 就是说要去 00:30:24.399 --> 00:30:26.619 在人的心里去行一个割离 00:30:26.619 --> 00:30:31.719 The English uses the word circumcision directly 00:30:31.719 --> 00:30:35.359 Which is to have a surgery on your heart 00:30:35.359 --> 00:30:37.619 而且这个手术呢 00:30:37.619 --> 00:30:38.699 只能神去做 00:30:38.699 --> 00:30:41.119 And only God can do this surgery 00:30:41.119 --> 00:30:44.399 就像我们刚才所说的这个奇异博士一样 00:30:44.399 --> 00:30:48.379 他曾经是一个最高明最高明的一个医生 00:30:48.379 --> 00:30:50.139 Just like Dr. Strange 00:30:50.139 --> 00:30:52.059 He was once a brilliant doctor 00:30:52.059 --> 00:30:54.579 有很多人在那个手术台上 00:30:54.579 --> 00:30:55.739 都已经被宣布死亡了 00:30:55.739 --> 00:30:57.719 然后他呢又把他那个病 00:30:57.719 --> 00:30:59.059 知道到底是出了什么问题 00:30:59.059 --> 00:31:00.619 然后把那个病给治好 00:31:00.619 --> 00:31:01.539 然后能够活过来 00:31:01.539 --> 00:31:04.179 Where many patients were already declared dead 00:31:04.179 --> 00:31:05.079 on the operating room 00:31:05.079 --> 00:31:07.359 And he was able to understand what was the problem 00:31:07.359 --> 00:31:08.819 And bring them back to life 00:31:08.819 --> 00:31:11.919 但是当他自己去有了这样的病的时候 00:31:11.919 --> 00:31:13.039 他就无能为力 00:31:13.039 --> 00:31:14.960 But when Dr. Strange himself 00:31:14.960 --> 00:31:17.480 When he became sick 00:31:17.480 --> 00:31:19.119 He could not heal himself 00:31:19.119 --> 00:31:21.259 他必须找到他的最好的助理 00:31:21.259 --> 00:31:24.700 然后去帮他把这个心脏呢 00:31:24.700 --> 00:31:26.980 让他重新去运转起来 00:31:26.980 --> 00:31:28.379 He needed to find an assistant 00:31:28.379 --> 00:31:30.139 He needed to have someone else 00:31:30.139 --> 00:31:32.039 Who could save his own heart 00:31:32.039 --> 00:31:33.519 之前看他那么的风光 00:31:33.519 --> 00:31:35.599 但是在这种状况面前 00:31:35.599 --> 00:31:36.879 他是无法自救的 00:31:36.880 --> 00:31:39.420 He seemed so strong and so brilliant 00:31:39.420 --> 00:31:42.260 But in light of his own mortality 00:31:42.260 --> 00:31:43.600 He could not save himself 00:31:43.600 --> 00:31:44.940 在这里面我们看到 00:31:44.940 --> 00:31:49.840 神他去做的这样的一个手术 00:31:49.840 --> 00:31:53.480 Here we see that God did a surgery for us 00:31:53.480 --> 00:31:54.820 当然这也就是 00:31:54.820 --> 00:31:56.860 让我们看到 00:31:56.860 --> 00:31:59.620 在旧约当中 00:31:59.620 --> 00:32:02.020 这个心里的割离 00:32:02.019 --> 00:32:02.839 实际上就是 00:32:02.839 --> 00:32:05.920 之前谈到歌里的时候 00:32:05.920 --> 00:32:08.059 讲的是这个立约的记号 00:32:08.059 --> 00:32:10.460 In the Old Testament 00:32:10.460 --> 00:32:13.759 Circumcision is a mark of a covenant 00:32:13.759 --> 00:32:17.259 神呢在那时候知道 00:32:17.259 --> 00:32:18.720 人所有所不能行的 00:32:18.720 --> 00:32:20.339 就预备了这样的一个新的约 00:32:20.339 --> 00:32:29.439 神在旧约的时候呢 00:32:29.439 --> 00:32:31.240 是律法写到石板上的 00:32:31.240 --> 00:32:40.159 神在那个时候就预言说 00:32:40.159 --> 00:32:43.339 时候将到我要与以色列家另立新约 00:32:43.339 --> 00:32:55.980 这就是神要去做的 00:32:55.980 --> 00:32:57.899 神要在人的心里面去动工 00:32:57.899 --> 00:33:03.759 让罪人能够去转向他 00:33:03.759 --> 00:33:04.919 完全地转向他 00:33:04.919 --> 00:33:08.879 也就是36节说 00:33:08.879 --> 00:33:10.619 好叫你尽兴尽信 00:33:10.619 --> 00:33:12.139 爱耶和华你的神 00:33:12.140 --> 00:33:16.020 In order that we may love the Lord our God 00:33:16.020 --> 00:33:19.300 The Lord our God with all our heart and all our soul 00:33:19.300 --> 00:33:21.720 在主耶稣基督 00:33:21.720 --> 00:33:23.940 在上次十字架之前 00:33:23.940 --> 00:33:25.540 Our Lord Jesus 00:33:25.540 --> 00:33:28.180 Before he went to the cross 00:33:28.180 --> 00:33:30.660 有一个门徒彼得 00:33:30.660 --> 00:33:33.040 One of his disciples, John 00:33:33.040 --> 00:33:35.259 曾经发誓赌咒 00:33:35.259 --> 00:33:36.940 要跟他在一起 00:33:36.940 --> 00:33:38.860 Said 00:33:38.860 --> 00:33:42.059 He declared 00:33:42.059 --> 00:33:45.200 I will definitely stay with you 00:33:45.200 --> 00:33:47.480 但是在基教两遍以前 00:33:47.480 --> 00:33:48.759 他有三次不认主 00:33:48.759 --> 00:33:51.240 But before the rooster crowed twice 00:33:51.240 --> 00:33:53.440 He had already denied Christ 00:33:53.440 --> 00:33:56.200 当基教了以后 00:33:56.200 --> 00:33:58.400 他就心里是痛悔莫及 00:33:58.400 --> 00:34:09.820 但是耶稣基督复活以后 00:34:09.820 --> 00:34:12.280 是主耶稣基督找到他 00:34:12.280 --> 00:34:15.360 But after Christ rose from the dead 00:34:15.360 --> 00:34:18.840 Jesus Christ went and sought Peter out 00:34:18.840 --> 00:34:19.880 问他 00:34:19.880 --> 00:34:20.740 你爱我吗 00:34:20.740 --> 00:34:22.960 And he asked him 00:34:22.960 --> 00:34:23.720 Do you love me 00:34:23.720 --> 00:34:24.680 你爱我吗 00:34:24.680 --> 00:34:25.559 Do you love me 00:34:25.559 --> 00:34:26.800 你爱我吗 00:34:26.800 --> 00:34:28.240 Do you love me 00:34:28.239 --> 00:34:32.759 神这样的爱彼得 00:34:32.759 --> 00:34:34.399 就在他犯了罪以后 00:34:34.399 --> 00:34:35.939 完全地离弃他以后 00:34:35.939 --> 00:34:37.659 还是这样地爱他 00:34:37.659 --> 00:34:40.439 God loved Peter so much 00:34:40.439 --> 00:34:42.599 That even when Peter betrayed him 00:34:42.599 --> 00:34:43.519 And denied him 00:34:43.519 --> 00:34:45.939 God sought him out 00:34:45.939 --> 00:34:47.179 但彼得呢 00:34:47.179 --> 00:34:48.419 就有这样的一个回转 00:34:48.419 --> 00:34:50.939 他是在那个时候呢 00:34:50.939 --> 00:34:51.419 是忏悔 00:34:51.419 --> 00:34:52.059 就悔改 00:34:52.059 --> 00:34:54.179 And Peter repented 00:34:54.179 --> 00:34:55.899 And Peter turned to Christ 00:34:55.899 --> 00:34:57.619 Turned back to Christ 00:34:57.619 --> 00:34:58.960 我们今天也要去想 00:34:58.960 --> 00:35:00.599 我们自己的罪到底是什么 00:35:00.599 --> 00:35:01.579 So today 00:35:01.579 --> 00:35:03.579 We also need to spend time 00:35:03.579 --> 00:35:04.659 Reflecting on 00:35:04.659 --> 00:35:05.859 What is our sin 00:35:05.859 --> 00:35:08.039 有的时候需要彼此的去提醒 00:35:08.039 --> 00:35:10.359 And sometimes we need to remind one another 00:35:10.359 --> 00:35:12.539 然后我们要回到神面前 00:35:12.539 --> 00:35:13.539 回到神的话里 00:35:13.539 --> 00:35:15.779 And we need to turn back to God 00:35:15.779 --> 00:35:17.980 And turn back to God's word 00:35:17.980 --> 00:35:20.279 回到永生神的面前 00:35:20.279 --> 00:35:23.319 And come back to the presence of the living God 00:35:23.319 --> 00:35:24.619 因为二十节里边说 00:35:24.619 --> 00:35:27.960 Because verse 20 says 00:35:27.960 --> 00:35:30.239 因为他是你的生命 00:35:30.239 --> 00:35:32.719 For he is your life 00:35:32.719 --> 00:35:35.279 主耶稣基督也告诉我们 00:35:35.279 --> 00:35:38.460 Jesus also tells us 00:35:38.460 --> 00:35:40.619 我是道路真理生命 00:35:40.619 --> 00:35:41.539 I am the way 00:35:41.539 --> 00:35:43.079 The truth and the life 00:35:43.079 --> 00:35:44.119 若不借着我 00:35:44.119 --> 00:35:45.819 没有人能到父那里去 00:35:45.820 --> 00:35:47.140 Apart from me 00:35:47.140 --> 00:35:49.160 No one can come to the Father 00:35:49.160 --> 00:35:51.019 这就是我们 00:35:51.019 --> 00:35:52.880 做人所能够去做到的 00:35:52.880 --> 00:35:54.320 去回转归向神 00:35:54.320 --> 00:35:55.440 归向神的话语 00:35:55.440 --> 00:35:57.780 And this is what we must do 00:35:57.780 --> 00:35:59.019 As people 00:35:59.019 --> 00:36:00.280 We need to repent 00:36:00.280 --> 00:36:01.440 And turn to God 00:36:01.440 --> 00:36:02.440 And turn to God's word 00:36:02.440 --> 00:36:03.620 因为他那里有生命 00:36:03.620 --> 00:36:04.380 Because 00:36:04.380 --> 00:36:07.160 He has the words of life 00:36:07.159 --> 00:36:08.659 Let's pray 00:36:08.659 --> 00:36:10.500 Let's pray 00:36:10.500 --> 00:36:11.599 慈爱大爸父 00:36:11.599 --> 00:36:12.500 我们感谢你 00:36:12.500 --> 00:36:14.639 Our loving heavenly Father
