2025-05-12 周一 创造需要的感觉和罪的感觉

经文:主的灵在我身上,因为祂膏了我,叫我传福音给贫穷的人,差遣我去宣扬被掳的得释放,瞎眼的得复明,叫那受压制的得自由,(路四18,另译)

罪人里面需要的感觉和罪恶的感觉

在马太十一章二十八节,主耶稣说,‘凡劳苦担重担的人,可以到我这里来,我就使你们得安息。’主呼召劳苦、担重担的人来得安息,这就是在人里面造出需要的感觉来。有些人本来人生是满意的,不觉得需要得救;但是我们要给他造出需要来,叫他感觉不满意,叫他感觉自己需要得救。

路加四章十八至十九节:‘主的灵在我身上,因为祂用膏膏我,叫我传福音给贫穷的人;差遣我报告被掳的得释放,瞎眼的得看见,叫那受压制的得自由,报告神悦纳人的禧年。’这是主耶稣刚出来尽职事时所宣告的话。这里主说,祂所传福音的对象有两类:一种是需要的人,一种是罪恶的人。

在罗马一章二十九至三十一节,保罗说到人的二十一种罪恶。一面人有需要,另一面人有罪恶,而关于这两面,人自己都不觉得。所以传福音的人,应当给人造出需要的感觉,并叫人生出罪恶的感觉来。在中国,你让人有需要的感觉,比让人有罪恶的感觉容易。对于已经明白福音的人,他如果还没有得救,当你再向他传福音时,就可以让他有罪恶的感觉。因为这样的人比较容易有罪的感觉。

Creating a Sense of Need and a Sense of Sin – Luke 4:18

A Sense of Need and a Sense of Sin in Sinners

In Matthew 11:28, the Lord Jesus says, “Come to Me, all who weary and are heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.” The Lord calls those who labor and are burdened to come and receive rest. This is to create a sense of need within people. Some people are quite satisfied with life and feel no need for salvation; but we must help create a sense of need in them – make them feel dissatisfied, make them realize their need to be saved.

Luke 4:18–19 says: “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor. He has sent Me to proclaim release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set free those who, to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.” These were the words the Lord Jesus declared when He first began His ministry. Here, the Lord says that the objects of His gospel fall into two categories: those who are needy, and those who are sinful.

In Romans 1:29–31, Paul lists twenty-one kinds of sins in mankind. On the one hand, men have needs; on the other hand, men are sinful. But concerning both aspects, they are often unaware. Therefore, those who preach the gospel should help men develop both a sense of need and a sense of sin. In China, it is easier to help men sense their need than to help them sense their sin. For those who already understand the gospel but are still unsaved, when you preach the gospel to them again, you can help them develop a sense of sin, because such people are more likely to feel convicted of their sin.
