 What Are JESUS'S COMMANDMENTS? - 2023年6月27日Andrew Tiner

耶稣的命令是什么？

作为耶稣的教会，耶稣究竟对我们有什么样的命令，对于这个问题，基督徒们常常抱有宗教化的想法。有些基督徒认为，为了成为耶稣基督的跟从者，你必须遵守摩西的律法。犹太人一直想要把这些强加在外邦人身上，他们说：“如果你想要成为真正的犹太人，你必须受割礼。你必须遵守饮食的律法，你不能穿混纺的衣服。你必须到会堂礼拜。”数年来犹太人一直堆积着这些重担。耶稣说他的担子是轻省的，但是基督教会也一直把许多重担堆积在人身上。尽管许多基督徒喜欢说“我们得救靠信心不是行为”，他们却借着行为来实现他们的救恩，要么是靠遵行摩西律法的行为，要么是他们的教会团队告诉他们的为了得救必须做的行为，比如缴纳十一税，每周去一次教会，参加圣经学习，禁食，参加小组团契。

但是耶稣实际上对我们的吩咐是什么？耶稣的命令是什么？毕竟耶稣说过“遵守我的命令”。所以，作为基督的身体，耶稣实际上对我们有怎样的命令？这就是今天我想给你读的这段经文，因为这对于我们的救恩来说至关重要。约翰福音15，耶稣说，9我爱你们，正如父爱我一样；你们要常在我的爱里。 10你们若遵守我的命令，就会常在我的爱里，正如我遵守了我父的命令，常在他的爱里。

11“我已对你们说了这些事，是要让我的喜乐存在你们心里，并让你们的喜乐得以满足。 12你们要彼此相爱，像我爱你们一样，这是我的命令。 13人为朋友舍命，人的爱心没有比这个更大的了。 14你们若遵行我所命令的，就是我的朋友。 15以后我不再称你们为仆人，因为仆人不知道主人所做的事；但我称你们为朋友，因为我从我父所听见的一切都已经让你们知道了。 16不是你们拣选了我，而是我拣选了你们，并且派你们去结果子，让你们的果子得以长存，好使你们奉我的名，无论向父求什么，他会赐给你们。 17我这样命令你们，是要你们彼此相爱。”

很多基督徒都忽略了爱是多么重要。他们认为爱只是基督教信仰中的一个次要属性。他们认为更为重要的是有正统的神学知识、保持参加教会聚会、确保把全年收入的十分之一交给一家教会，他们在信仰方面变得非常宗教化。但是耶稣对他的教会的要求是彼此相爱。我们都知道最大的诫命是尽心、尽性、尽力、尽意爱主上帝，其次就是要爱邻如己。你如果这样行，就成全了律法和先知的道理。这并不在于去教会。耶稣没有命令你做四十天禁食。耶稣的确呼召我们要做某些具体的事情，但是所有这一切事情的根本是出于爱。许多人的信仰被摧毁是因为他们教会将他们难以承担的律法的重担放在他们肩头，他们无法担当。

要记住耶稣的命令并不是难守的。他呼召我们先要爱他，当我们爱他、服从他时，他会指引我们。他不会给我们超过我们承受力的担子。如果我们信任他，完全信靠他，他会住在我们里面，他会赐给我们能力走下去。你里面有耶稣的爱吗？你正在遵守他的命令吗？你有没有顺服的去爱他人、爱耶稣的教会、爱人如己？并且尽心、尽性、尽力、尽意爱耶稣？我希望这个信息鼓励你活出真实的信仰，而不要落入律法主义。愿耶稣的恩典与你同在。

What Are JESUS'S COMMANDMENTS? Christians also, they often get very religious ideas about what Jesus wants us to do as His church. Some Christians believe that you have to keep the law of Moses in order to be a Christ follower. The Jews always have tried to push this on the gentiles, saying “you have to be circumcised if you're going to be a true Jew. You have to keep dietary laws. You can't mix certain fabrics. You have to go to synagogue to worship”. And the Jews have for years tried to heap up heavy burdens. Jesus talks about His commandments not being burdensome. But the Christian church also has heaped up heavy burdens on people. And even though a lot of the Christians like to say “we believe in faith and not works”, they live out their salvation by works, either the works of the law of Moses, or the works that their church teams they need to do in order to be saved, such as giving tithe, going to church once a week, participating in bible study, doing fasts, getting together as their fellowship groups. But what did Jesus actually command? What are the commandments of Jesus? Because after all, we know that Jesus said “keep my commandments”. So what does Jesus want us to actually do as the body of Christ? That is what I want to read to you today because that is what is important for our salvation. This is what Jesus says in John 15, 9“As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. 10If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love. 11“These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full. 12This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. 13Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. 14You are My friends if you do whatever I command you. 15No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you. 16You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you. 17These things I command you, that you love one another. A lot of Christians look over how important love is. They think it's a secondary attribute of the Christian faith. They think it's more important to have good theology, to keep up church attendance, to make sure you're giving 10% of your annual income to a church. They start getting very religious about their faith. But what Jesus commanded His church is that we love one another. We know that the greatest commandment is to love the Lord or God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength. And the second is like it, to love our neighbor as ourselves. If you do this, you will fulfill the law and the prophets. It's not about going to church. Jesus isn't commanding you that you have to do a forty-day fast. Jesus does call us to do certain things, specific things. But what all of these things come down to is love. And a lot of people their faith gets destroyed because when they can't keep the kind of legalism that their church puts upon them that heavy burden, then they fail. And remember that Jesus said that His commands are not burdensome. He calls us to love Him first, and when we love Him and obey Him, He guides us. He doesn't give us more than we can handle. If we trust Him and put our faith completely in us, or if we put our faith completely in Him, then He is in us, and He gives us the power to sustain. So do you have the love of Jesus in you? Are you keeping His commandments? Are you being obedient to love others? To love His church? To love others as yourself? And to love Him with all your heart, soul, mind and strength? I hope this encourages someone to stay in the genuine faith and not fall to legalisms. May the grace of Jesus be with you.
