罪人得救必有的两个感觉(接上篇)
我们要知道,每一个罪人都是在黑暗里的,不会想要神,也不会定规要神。他们的心思全然黑暗,所以我们传福音,必须先把人心思里的黑暗用光照亮。我们应当先藉着神的话,把光摆在他心思里头。我们把主耶稣的救赎报告给罪人,乃是注重让人感觉有福音的需要,要给他造出需要的心。等到他感觉有需要后,再把福音详细的说给他听。所以传福音必须先让他们不满他们环境的现状,必须先让他们感觉不满足,然后他们才能有需要的感觉,才会觉得自己需要神的救恩。
一个罪人本来对神全然是黑暗的,他对神不能有感应;但我们又要救他们,所以我们传福音的时候,必须很强的藉着灵,把神的话送到罪人的心中。这样,神的话就不再出来了,就好像生了根一样。然后我们向他就有道可讲了。这好像神的话在他里头有了把柄,我们再藉着这个把柄来撬他,他里面就产生需要的感觉。我们把什么话语摆进人里面去,罪人就能藉着什么话来得救。所以传福音乃是把一个意思先摆在罪人里头,然后根据这个意思给他造出需要来。主对撒玛利亚的妇人传福音,乃是很快的转了几个弯,就让她得救了。主先是在她里面造出需要的感觉,然后给她看见罪恶,这样她就得救了。我们的主不但是救主,也是会救人的主。再也没有第二个人,能像主在福音书里那么会传福音的。

Two Senses for a Sinner toBe Saved – Matt. 4-16
We have to understand that every sinner is in darkness, neither desiring God nor seeking God. Their minds are completely darkened, so when we preach the gospel, we need to first shine light into the darkness of their minds. We should first place the light of God’s word into their thoughts. When we report the redemption of the Lord Jesus to sinners, the focus is to cause them to sense the need for the gospel, to create a heart in them that feels the need. After they sense the need, then we can explain the gospel to them in detail. Therefore, in preaching the gospel, we must first cause them to be dissatisfied with their present circumstances, first cause them to feel discontent, and only then will they develop a sense of need and realize their need for God’s salvation.
A sinner is originally in full darkness regarding God and has no response toward Him, yet we want to save them. When we preach the gospel, we have to strongly, through the Spirit, deliver God’s word into the sinner’s heart. In this way, God’s word will not simply fade away; it will be as if it has taken root. Then we will have a way to speak to him. It is as if God’s word has formed a handle inside him, and we can use this handle to pry him open, generating in him a sense of need. Whatever word we plant inside a man, the sinner will be saved through that word. Thus, preaching the gospel is first placing a thought into the sinner, and then based on that thought, creating in him a sense of need. The Lord’s preaching of the gospel to the Samaritan woman involved quickly making several turns, leading her to salvation. The Lord first created in her a sense of need, and then revealed her sin, and thus she was saved. Our Lord is not only the Savior but also the One who knows how to save. There is no one else who can preach the gospel as effectively as the Lord did in four gospel books.
