国度真理 (8) / The Kingdom of God 8

经文 / Scripture: 启示录 Revelation 2:18-17

1. 经文阅读 / Scripture Reading

【启示录 Revelation 2:18-20】 18“你要写信给推雅推喇教会的使者说:“那眼目如火焰、脚像光明铜的神之子说: 19 我知道你的行为、爱心、信心、勤劳、忍耐,又知道你末后所行的善事比起初所行的更多。 20然而,有一件事我要责备你,就是你容让那自称是先知的妇人耶洗别教导我的仆人,引诱他们行奸淫,吃祭偶像之物。

【Rev 2:18-20】 18 "To the angel of the church in Thyatira write: These are the words of the Son of God, whose eyes are like blazing fire and whose feet are like burnished bronze. 19 I know your deeds, your love and faith, your service and perseverance, and that you are now doing more than you did at first. 20 Nevertheless, I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophet. By her teaching she misleads my servants into sexual immorality and the eating of food sacrificed to idols.

【启示录 Revelation 2:21-23】 21“我曾给她悔改的机会,她却不肯悔改她的淫行。 22看哪,我要叫她病卧在床;那些与她行淫的人若不悔改所行的,我也要叫他们同受大患难。 23我又要杀死她的党类,叫众教会知道我是那察看人肺腑心肠的,并要照你们的行为报应你们各人。

【Rev 2:21-23】 21 I have given her time to repent of her immorality, but she is unwilling. 22 So I will cast her on a bed of suffering, and I will make those who commit adultery with her suffer intensely, unless they repent of her ways. 23 I will strike her children dead. Then all the churches will know that I am he who searches hearts and minds, and I will repay each of you according to your deeds.

【启示录 Revelation 2:24-27】 24‘至于你们推雅推喇其余的人,就是一切不从那教训、不晓得他们素常所说撒旦深奥之理的人,我告诉你们:我不将别的担子放在你们身上; 25但你们已经有的,总要持守,直等到我来。 26那得胜又遵守我命令到底的,我要赐给他权柄制伏列国, 27他必用铁杖辖管他们,将他们如同窑户的瓦器打得粉碎,像我从我父领受的权柄一样。

【Rev 2:24-27】 24 Now I say to the rest of you in Thyatira, to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan's so-called deep secrets, 'I will not impose any other burden on you, 25 except to hold on to what you have until I come.' 26 To the one who is victorious and does my will to the end, I will give authority over the nations- 27 that one 'will rule them with an iron scepter and will dash them to pieces like pottery'-just as I have received authority from my Father.

2. 推雅推喇城与教会背景 / Background of Thyatira & The Church

【使徒行传 Acts 16:14】 14 有一个卖紫色布匹的妇人,名叫吕底亚,是推雅推喇城的人,素来敬拜神。她听见了,主就开导她的心,叫她留心听保罗所讲的话。

【Acts 16:14】 14 One of them was Lydia from Thyatira, a merchant of expensive purple cloth, who worshiped God. As she listened to us, the Lord opened her heart, and she accepted what Paul was saying.

3. 容让与妥协的危险 / The Danger of Tolerance & Compromise

容让 Tolerance / 妥协 Compromise

【启示录 Revelation 2:20】 20然而,有一件事我要责备你,就是你容让那自称是先知的妇人耶洗别教导我的仆人,引诱他们行奸淫,吃祭偶像之物。

【Rev 2:20】 20 Nevertheless, I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophet. By her teaching she misleads my servants into sexual immorality and the eating of food sacrificed to idols.

【启示录 Revelation 2:18】 18“你要写信给推雅推喇教会的使者说:“那眼目如火焰、脚像光明铜的神之子说

【Rev 2:18】 18 "To the angel of the church in Thyatira write: These are the words of the Son of God, whose eyes are like blazing fire and whose feet are like burnished bronze.

4. 旧约历史的警诫：以利家的罪 / Warning from OT: The Sin of Eli's House

【撒母耳记上 1 Samuel 2:12】 12 以利的两个儿子是恶人,不认识耶和华。

【1 Samuel 2:12】 12 Now the sons of Eli were scoundrels who had no respect for the Lord

【撒母耳记上 1 Samuel 2:13-16】 13 这二祭司待百姓是这样的规矩:凡有人献祭,正煮肉的时候,祭司的仆人就来,手拿三齿的叉子, 14 将叉子往罐里,或鼎里,或釜里,或锅里一插,插上来的肉,祭司都取了去。凡上到示罗的以色列人,他们都是这样看待。 15 又在未烧脂油以前,祭司的仆人就来对献祭的人说:“将肉给祭司,叫他烤吧。他不要煮过的,要生的。” 16献祭的人若说:“必须先烧脂油,然后你可以随意取肉”,仆人就说:“你立时给我,不然我便抢去。”

【1 Samuel 2:13-16】 13 or for their duties as priests. Whenever anyone offered a sacrifice, Eli's sons would send over a servant with a three-pronged fork. While the meat of the sacrificed animal was still boiling, 14 the servant would stick the fork into the pot and demand that whatever it brought up be given to Eli's sons. All the Israelites who came to worship at Shiloh were treated this way. 15 Sometimes the servant would come even before the animal's fat had been burned on the altar. He would demand raw meat before it had been boiled so that it could be used for roasting. 16 The man offering the sacrifice might reply, "Take as much as you want, but the fat must be burned first." Then the servant would demand, "No, give it to me now, or I'll take it by force."

【撒母耳记上 1 Samuel 2:17】 17 如此,这二少年人的罪在耶和华面前甚重了,因为他们藐视耶和华的祭物。

【1 Samuel 2:17】 17 So the sin of these young men was very serious in the Lord's sight, for they treated the Lord's offerings with contempt.

【撒母耳记上 1 Samuel 2:22-23】 22以利年甚老迈,听见他两个儿子待以色列众人的事,又听见他们与会幕门前伺候的妇人苟合, 23他就对他们说:“你们为何行这样的事呢?我从这众百姓听见你们的恶行。

【1 Samuel 2:22-23】 22 Now Eli was very old, but he was aware of what his sons were doing to the people of Israel. He knew, for instance, that his sons were seducing the young women who assisted at the entrance of the Tabernacle. 23 Eli said to them, "I have been hearing reports from all the people about the wicked things you are doing. Why do you keep sinning?

【撒母耳记上 1 Samuel 2:29】 29 我所吩咐献在我居所的祭物,你们为何践踏,尊重你的儿子过于尊重我,将我民以色列所献美好的祭物肥己呢?

【1 Samuel 2:29】 29 So why do you scorn my sacrifices and offerings? Why do you give your sons more honor than you give me-for you and they have become fat from the best offerings of my people Israel!

【撒母耳记上 1 Samuel 4:18】 18他一提神的约柜,以利就从他的位上往后跌倒,在门旁折断颈项而死,因为他年纪老迈,身体沉重。以利做以色列的士师四十年。

【1 Samuel 4:18】 18 When the messenger mentioned what had happened to the Ark of God, Eli fell backward from his seat beside the gate. He broke his neck and died, for he was old and overweight. He had been Israel's judge for forty years.

5. 区别：不容忍恶人与用温柔挽回 / Contrast: Discerning Evil vs. Restoring Gently

【启示录 Revelation 2:2-4】 2我知道你的行为、劳碌、忍耐,也知道你不能容忍恶人。你也曾试验那自称为使徒却不是使徒的,看出他们是假的来。 3你也能忍耐,曾为我的名劳苦,并不乏倦。 4然而,有一件事我要责备你,就是你把起初的爱心离弃了。

【Rev 2:2-4】 2 I know your deeds, your hard work and your perseverance. I know that you cannot tolerate wicked people, that you have tested those who claim to be apostles but are not, and have found them false. 3 You have persevered and have endured hardships for my name, and have not grown weary. 4 Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken the love you had at first.

【加拉太书 Galatians 6:1-2】 1弟兄们,若有人偶然被过犯所胜,你们属灵的人就当用温柔的心把他挽回过来;又当自己小心,恐怕也被引诱。 2你们各人的重担要互相担当,如此就完全了基督的律法。

【Gal 6:1-2】 1 Dear brothers and sisters, if another believer is overcome by some sin, you who are godly should gently and humbly help that person back onto the right path. And be careful not to fall into the same temptation yourself. 2 Share each other's burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ.

6. 审判与悔改的机会 / Judgment & Opportunity to Repent

【启示录 Revelation 2:21】 21“我曾给她悔改的机会,她却不肯悔改她的淫行。

【Rev 2:21】 21 I have given her time to repent of her immorality, but she is unwilling.

同流合污 VS 分别为圣 / Corruption by the Crowd VS Set Apart in Holiness

国度真理 (7) / The Kingdom of God 7

经文 / Scripture: 启示录 Revelation 2: 12-17

1. 思考与背景 / Questions & Context

启示录为什么重要? / Why is the Book of Revelation important?

写给七间教会的信件为什么重要? / Why are the letters to the seven churches important?

谁是教会? / Who is the church?

别迦摩背景: 亚西亚省首府,建于山上,为历史名都。商业不如以弗所和示每拿发达,文化却首屈一指。拥有举世驰名的图书馆,规模仅次于埃及亚历山太图书馆。为敬拜该撒的中心。

2. 经文研读 / Scripture Reading

【启二 12-13】 你要写信给别迦摩教会的使者,说:“那有两刃利剑的,说: 我知道你的居所,就是有撒但座位之处;当我忠心的见证人安提帕在你们中间、撒但所住的地方被杀之时,你还坚守我的名,没有弃绝我的道。

【Rev 2:12-13】 "To the angel of the church in Pergamum write: These are the words of him who has the sharp, double-edged sword. 13 I know where you live-where Satan has his throne. Yet you remain true to my name. You did not renounce your faith in me, not even in the days of Antipas, my faithful witness, who was put to death in your city-where Satan lives.

【启二 14-16】 然而,有几件事我要责备你:因为在你那里有人服从了巴兰的教训;这巴兰曾教导巴勒将绊脚石放在以色列人面前,叫他们吃祭偶像之物,行奸淫的事。你那里也有人照样服从了尼哥拉一党人的教训。所以,你当悔改;若不悔改,我就快临到你那里,用我口中的剑攻击他们。

【Rev 2:14-16】 14 Nevertheless, I have a few things against you: There are some among you who hold to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to entice the Israelites to sin so that they ate food sacrificed to idols and committed sexual immorality. 15 Likewise, you also have those who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans. 16 Repent therefore! Otherwise, I will soon come to you and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.

【启二 17】 圣灵向众教会所说的话,凡有耳的,就应当听!得胜的,我必将那隐藏的吗哪赐给他,并赐他一块白石,石上写着新名;除了那领受的以外,没有人能认识。”

【Rev 2:17】 17 Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who is victorious, I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give that person a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to the one who receives it.

父母必须知道的事 What Parents Need to Know

Mon, 05 Oct 2026 22:29:20 GMT

讲员：David牧师

成年孩子的父母该知道的五件事 / 5 Things Every Parent of an Adult Child Needs to Know

1. 第一: 为人父母的责任永不结束 / 1. It Never Ends

孩子会长大,但父母的爱与代祷不会退休。 / Children grow up, but a parent's love and intercession never retire.

【以赛亚书 Isaiah 46:4】 4直到你们年老,我仍这样;直到你们发白,我仍怀揣。我已造做,也必保抱;我必怀抱,也必拯救。 / 4I will be your God throughout your lifetime- until your hair is white with age. I made you, and I will care for you. I will carry you along and save you.

【腓立比书 Philippians 1:3-4】 3我每逢想念你们,就感谢我的神; 4每逢为你们众人祈求的时候,常是欢欢喜喜地祈求。 / 3 Every time I think of you, I give thanks to my God. 4 Whenever I pray, I make my requests for all of you with joy,

孩子长大了,父母的手可以放开,但祷告的膝盖不能停止。 / Our hands may release our adult children, but our knees should never stop praying.

2. 第二: 你无法改变他们 / 2. You Can't Fix Them

父母不能成为孩子的救主,只有神能够改变人的心。 / Parents cannot be their children's savior; only God can transform the human heart.

【以西结书 Ezekiel 36:26】 26 我也要赐给你们一个新心,将新灵放在你们里面,又从你们的肉体中除掉石心,赐给你们肉心。 / 26 And I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit in you. I will take out your stony, stubborn heart and give you a tender, responsive heart.

【箴言 Proverbs 3:5-6】 5你要专心仰赖耶和华,不可倚靠自己的聪明, 6在你一切所行的事上都要认定他,他必指引你的路。 / 5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.

你不能改变孩子的心,但你可以把他们带到那位能够改变人心的神面前。 / You cannot change your child's heart, but you can bring them before the God who can.

3. 第三: 你必须停止责怪自己 / 3. You Must Stop Blaming Yourself

过去的错误需要面对,但不应该成为今天祷告的捆绑。 / Past mistakes should be acknowledged, but they should not become chains that hinder today's prayers.

【罗马书 Romans 8:1】 1如今,那些在基督耶稣里的就不定罪了。 / 1 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,

【约翰一书 1 John 1:9】 我们若认自己的罪,神是信实的,是公义的,必要赦免我们的罪,洗净我们一切的不义。 / If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

不要让昨天的自责,夺走今天为孩子祷告的力量。 / Do not allow yesterday's guilt to rob you of today's power to pray for your children.

4. 第四: 你必须学习饶恕 / 4. You Have to Forgive

不饶恕会使父母的心被过去捆绑;饶恕使我们能够继续以爱代祷 / Unforgiveness keeps parents bound to the past; forgiveness enables us to continue interceding in love.

饶恕 FORGIVENESS:

饶恕孩子曾经带给你的伤害。 / Forgive your adult children for the hurt they have caused.

饶恕配偶或前配偶在教养上的不足。 / Forgive your spouse or former spouse for past failures in parenting.

饶恕自己过去的错误。 / Forgive yourself for past mistakes.

饶恕不是否认伤害,而是把审判与苦毒交给神。 / Forgiveness does not deny the hurt; it releases judgment and bitterness to God.

【以弗所书 Ephesians 4:31-32】 31一切苦毒、恼恨、愤怒、嚷闹、毁谤,并一切的恶毒,都当从你们中间除掉;32并要以恩慈相待,存怜悯的心,彼此饶恕,正如神在基督里饶恕了你们一样。 / 31 Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior. 32 Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.

【歌罗西书 Colossians 3:13】 13倘若这人与那人有嫌隙,总要彼此包容,彼此饶恕;主怎样饶恕了你们,你们也要怎样饶恕人。 / 13 Make allowance for each other's faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others.

我们不能一边紧抓苦毒,一边自由地为孩子祝福。 / We cannot cling to bitterness and freely bless our children at the same time.

5. 第五: 你必须知道,世上只有一位完美的父亲 / 5. There Is Only One Perfect Parent

我们不是完美的父母,但我们有一位完美的天父,祂能够弥补、恢复并继续在孩子生命中工作。 / We are not perfect parents, but we have a perfect Heavenly Father who can redeem, restore, and continue His work in our children's lives.

【腓立比书 Philippians 1:6】 16我深信那在你们心里动了善工的必成全这工,直到耶稣基督的日子。 / 16 And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.

你不是完美的父母,但你的孩子有一位完美的天父。 / You are not a perfect parent, but your children have a perfect Heavenly Father.

父母最深的爱,不是紧紧抓住孩子,而是忠心地把他们交托给神。 / The deepest love of a parent is not holding on tightly, but faithfully entrusting our children to God.

以弗所教会的信 To the Church in Ephesus

Sat, 26 Sep 2026 20:26:20 GMT

讲员：张文旭牧师 Rev. Ivan Teo
启示录 Revelation 2: 1-7

以弗所教会的信 / To the Church in Ephesus

国度真理 (5) / The Kingdom of God 5

经文 / Scripture: 启示录 Rev. 2: 1-7

1. 七灯台与教会的奥秘 / The Mystery of the Lampstands

【启 1:20】 论到你所看见、在我右手中的七星和七个金灯台的奥秘,那七星就是七个教会的使者,七灯台就是七个教会。”

【Rev 1:20】 The mystery of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand and of the seven golden lampstands is this: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.

主耶稣用金灯台来象征教会,显示新约教会与旧约以色列————神的选民之间的连续关系。 / The Lord Jesus used the golden lampstand as a symbol of the church, showing the continuity between the New Testament church and Old Testament Israel, God's chosen people.

【弗 3:6】 这奥秘就是外邦人在基督耶稣里,借着福音,得以同为后嗣,同为一体,同蒙应许。

【Eph 3:6】 This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members together of one body, and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus.

2. 赞许与果子的辨识 / Commendation and Discerning Fruit

【启 2:1-3】 “你要写信给以弗所教会的使者,说:『那右手拿着七星、在七个金灯台中间行走的,说: 我知道你的行为、劳碌、忍耐,也知道你不能容忍恶人。你也曾试验那自称为使徒却不是使徒的,看出他们是假的来。你也能忍耐,曾为我的名劳苦,并不乏倦。

【Rev 2:1-3】 "To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: These are the words of him who holds the seven stars in his right hand and walks among the seven golden lampstands. 2I know your deeds, your hard work and your perseverance. I know that you cannot tolerate wicked people, that you have tested those who claim to be apostles but are not, and have found them false. 3 You have persevered and have endured hardships for my name, and have not grown weary.

【太 Mat 7:20】 所以,凭着他们的果子就可以认出他们来。 / Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.

3. 离弃起初的爱 / Forsaking the First Love

【启 Rev 2:4】 然而有一件事我要责备你,就是你把起初的爱心离弃了。 / Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken the love you had at first.

爱 agape 一般用来形容从神来的爱。是agape也可以用来形容“爱神爱人”。

【约壹 1Jn 4:20】 ...不爱他所看见的弟兄,就不能爱没有看见的神。 / For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen.

起初的爱,就是一种从神来的爱,使我们能以基督的爱去爱人。 / The first love is a love that comes from God, enabling us to love others with the love of Christ.

【约壹 1Jn 3:11】 我们应当彼此相爱。这就是你们从起初所听见的命令。 / For this is the message you heard from the beginning: We should love one another.

【约壹 1Jn 3:16】 主为我们舍命,我们从此就知道何为爱;我们也当为弟兄舍命。 / This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.

【路 Luk 7:47】 所以我告诉你,她许多的罪都赦免了,因为她的爱多;但那赦免少的,他的爱就少。” / Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven-as her great love has shown. But whoever has been forgiven little loves little."

4. 为什么会离弃起初的爱? / Why Would One Abandon the First Love?

① 以弗所城是个商业化的大都会,人际关系很容易以利益作价值单位。 / Ephesus was a highly commercialized metropolis, where interpersonal relationships could easily be measured by profit and self-interest.

② 以弗所异教盛行,但基督徒因着基督的爱,在众多信仰中被辨认出来是属于基督的人。(约Jn 13:35) / Ephesus was filled with pagan religions, but Christians were recognized as belonging to Christ through the love of Christ.

③ 以弗教会中有假使徒,为了要辨别真假使徒难免会落入冷酷无情的批判。 / In the Ephesian church, there were false apostles. In the process of discerning true apostles from false ones, they could easily fall into cold and merciless criticism.

起初的爱是多走一里路的爱! / The first love is the love that goes the extra mile!

5. 恨恶尼哥拉党与警戒教会世俗化 / Hating Nicolaitan Practices and Warning Against Secularization

【启 Rev 2:6】 然而你还有一件可取的事,就是你恨恶尼哥拉一党人的行为,这也是我所恨恶的。 / But you have this in your favor: You hate the practices of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.

【启 Rev 2:14-15】 然而,有几件事我要责备你:因为在你那里有人服从了巴兰的教训;这巴兰曾教导巴勒将绊脚石放在以色列人面前,叫他们吃祭偶像之物,行奸淫的事。15你那里也有人照样服从了尼哥拉一党人的教训。 / Nevertheless, I have a few things against you: There are some among you who hold to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to entice the Israelites to sin so that they ate food sacrificed to idols and committed sexual immorality. 15 Likewise, you also have those who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans.

巴兰: 象征为利忘义、背叛信仰与宗教混合主义。 / Balaam symbolizes compromising righteousness for personal gain, betraying the faith, and religious syncretism.

尼哥拉党: 可理解为“人民的毁灭”,代表自由放荡、不道德的生活方式。 / The Nicolaitans may be understood as "the destruction of the people," representing immoral and unrestrained behavior.

耶稣肯定以弗所教会,因为他们恨恶尼哥拉党的行为。 / God commended the church in Ephesus because they hated the practices of the Nicolaitans.

爱基督所爱,恶基督所恶。 / Love what Christ loves and hate what Christ hates.

现今教会面对最大的危机,不是遭逼迫;而是教会世俗化。 / The greatest crisis facing the church today is not persecution, but secularization.

教会世俗化:指教会不再依靠基督,而是靠世俗的价值观。 / The secularization of the church means that the church no longer depends on Christ, but relies instead on worldly values.

6. 回想、悔改与复兴 / Remembrance, Repentance, and Revival

【启 2:5】 所以,应当回想你是从哪里坠落的,并要悔改,行起初所行的事。你若不悔改,我就临到你那里把你的灯台从原处挪去。 / 【Rev 2:5】 Consider how far you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place.

蓝赛 Sir William Mitchell Ramsay, 1851-1939

司布真 Spurgeon, (1834-1892)

司布真认为,这段经文是关于教会“复兴”的经文 / Spurgeon regarded this passage as a text about the "revival" of the church.

蓝赛指出:基督对以弗所教会的要求,并不是要他们追求什么新的东西,而是要他们恢复昔日曾经拥有的品格。 / Ramsay said that what Christ required of the church in Ephesus was not something new, but a return to the character they once possessed.

7. 得胜者的赏赐 / Reward for the Overcomer

【启 2:7】 圣灵向众教会所说的话,凡有耳的,就应当听!得胜的,我必将神乐园中生命树的果子赐给他吃。』” / 【Rev 2:7】 Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.

果子是得胜者的品格,也成为教会复兴的种子。 / The fruit reveals the character of the overcomer and becomes the seed of revival for the church.
