Reading the Bible

  • 路加福音19:37

他将近耶路撒冷,正下橄榄山的时候,一大群门徒因所见过的一切异能,都欢呼起来,大声赞美上帝, 说: 「奉主名来的王是应当称颂的!在天上有和平;在至高之处有荣光。」 人群中有几个法利赛人对耶稣说:「老师,责备你的门徒吧!」 耶稣回答:「我告诉你们,若是这些人闭口不说,石头也要呼叫起来。」


  • 罗马书 5:8

惟有基督在我们还作罪人的时候为我们死,上帝的爱就在此向我们显明了。


若是你不赞美上帝,石头都会呼叫起来;这就是上帝的伟大之中所蕴藏着的大能——一切受造物都渴望呼叫出对祂的赞美。令人欣慰的是,它们的呼叫很单纯。我们不需要说些很艰深、很“神学”的赞美之辞;简单的话就足够了,例如:“奉主名来的王是应当称颂的;在至高之处有荣光”。诗篇作者也和你我一样,是些来到完美上帝面前的破碎的人,心里知道我们虽与祂远远无法相比,但祂却仍然爱我们。比起我们文化中那些情歌所歌颂的爱情,上帝的这份爱难道不更加刻骨铭心吗?祂的爱永不止息,毫无条件,几乎令人难以置信。我们必须歌颂这份爱,因为它是如此美好!


  • Luke 19:37-40

As he was drawing near—already on the way down the Mount of Olives—the whole multitude of his disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen, saying, “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!” And some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples.” He answered, “I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out.”


  • Romans 5:8

But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.


If you don’t praise God, the stones will cry out. That’s the power of God’s greatness – all creation desires to shout His praises. The simplicity of their cries is comforting. We don’t need to say some intense, theological praise – just simple words as these, ‘Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord, glory in the highest.’ The psalms are just broken people like you and I coming to a perfect God, knowing that we don't compare and yet He loves us anyway. How much more powerful is this love than that of the love songs in our culture? His love is never ending, unconditional, and almost unbelievable - we NEED to sing about it, it's so good!
