Deliver Us from Evil 救我们脱离凶恶
By Michael Youssef, Ph.D.
There was an elderly woman who was known for always having something good to say about others. One day, two young men thought they would trap her. Surely, she would not have anything good to say about Satan. They walked up to her and said, 'Tell us: What do you think about the devil?'
有一位老妇人,她总是对别人说好话。一天,两个年轻人以为他们会困住她。当然,她不会对撒旦说什么好话。他们走到她跟前说:“告诉我们:你对魔鬼有什么看法?”
The woman paused and then said, 'Well, there is only one thing that I can think of—he is always on the job!'
女人顿了顿,然后说:“嗯,我能想到的只有一件事——他总是在工作!”
The woman was right. There is nothing good about Satan. However, we can say that he never wearies of tempting believers.
女人是对的。撒旦没有什么好处。然而,我们可以说他从不厌倦诱惑信徒。
This is why Jesus taught His disciples to pray, 'Deliver us from evil,' which really means, 'Deliver us from the evil one.' Jesus did just that on the cross. He shattered the power of sin and death. The resurrect
ion is evidence of His victory.
这就是为什么耶稣教导他的门徒祷告,“救我们脱离凶恶”,意思是“救我们脱离恶者”。耶稣在十字架上就是这样做的。他粉碎了罪恶和死亡的权势。复活是祂得胜的证据。
One of Satan's greatest deceptions is convincing us that pride is not a problem. Ironically, pride was Satan's own downfall. It was his desire to become like God. In his pride, Satan wanted to take God's place.
撒但最大的骗局之一就是让我们相信骄傲不是问题。具有讽刺意味的是,骄傲是撒旦自己的垮台。他渴望变得像上帝。撒但骄傲地想取代上帝的地位。
Similarly, though most of us would say that David's greatest sin was adultery and the murder tied to it, the root of David's sin goes much deeper. In pride, David considered himself above the law of God.
同样,虽然我们大多数人会说大卫最大的罪是通奸以及与之相关的谋杀,但大卫罪的根源要深得多。大卫骄傲地认为自己凌驾于上帝的律法之上。
While other kings were off fighting in battles, David stayed home, becoming lazy and self-serving—the perfect posture for pride to make its mark. Satan waited for the right opportunity, and then he tempted David by appealing to his flesh.
当其他国王外出征战时,大卫留在家里,变得懒惰和自私——这是骄傲留下印记的完美姿态。撒但等候合适的机会,然后通过吸引大卫的肉体来试探大卫。
If you have been drawn away from God through pride, believing you know better than God and can live without Him, stop what you are doing and turn back to the Lord. Be sure you are following Christ closely and that all you desire begins and ends with Him.
如果你因骄傲而远离上帝,相信你比上帝更了解并且没有他也能生活,停止你正在做的事情并转向主。确保你紧紧跟随基督,你所渴望的一切都与他一起开始和结束。
Prayer: Lord, thank You for delivering me from evil on the cross. Thank You for shattering the power of sin and death. Please hold me close to You. Strengthen me and guide me away from laziness and self-service. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.
祷告:主啊,感谢你在十字架上救我脱离罪恶。感谢你粉碎了罪恶和死亡的权势。请让我靠近你。加强我并引导我远离懒惰和自助服务。我奉耶稣的名祷告。阿门。
'For the eyes of the LORD range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him' (2 Chronicles 16:9).
“因为耶和华的眼目遍及全地,要坚固那些全心归向他的人”(2 Chronicles 16:9)
