1-10節--願祢的國降臨

馬太福音 第6章

當有主日學的學生問你，祈求「願你的國降臨」究竟是甚麼意思時，你會怎樣向他們解釋呢？你會否告訴他們，我們是願望基督快些再來，然後便在全地作王？除了這個解釋之外，還有其他更為切身的答案嗎？

「國」是指到一個由王掌理的領土。那個地方有王，那個地方就成為王所管治的「國」。

基督今天在哪裡作王呢？是否在你的心中？如果是的話，那麼，你的生命就是基督的國。這就是「國」的切身意思。

當我們祈求「願你的國降臨」，那就表示我們察覺到基督還未在全地作王。今天的世界還有另一個國，就是撒但和黑暗的國。掌管黑暗國度的撒但，為了阻止人從他的國度遷進基督的國度，便不惜一切地猛烈攻擊人的內心。

當人接受基督作他的救主之後，他便宣認基督是他的主和他的王，他便成了神國度的子民，立志以後遵從主的旨意而活。因此，神國度的每個子民，都會禱告說：「願你的旨意成就」。

我們的主曾經說過這句發人深省的話：「凡稱呼『我主啊，我主啊』的人，不能都進天國，只有遵從神旨意的人，卻能進到天國。」

「願你的國降臨」這句禱文的含義極廣，可包括：

1

願神作我的王，完全掌管我的生命。

2

願神進入其他人的生命作王。

3

願基督再來作全地的王。這是聖經的預言，也是我們的盼望。

那麼，人怎樣才可以進入神的國呢？

1

你不能因著父母或別人的原故而得以進入神的國，這是你的個人抉擇。

2

你只可憑著小孩子般的單純信心來信靠神，才可進入神的國。

3

當你接受耶穌基督作為你的救主和王，你便可以進入神的國。

你會在今天祈求「願你的國降臨」嗎？

THY KINGDOM COME

BIBLE READING: Matthew 6:1-10

If you wanted to explain to your Sunday school class this particular phrase in the Lords Prayer, what would you say? Would you say that we are telling God that we are longing for the time when Christ shall rule over all the world? Could you make it any more personal than that? What would you say?

The word Kingdom comes from Old English, meaning literally the Kings Domain. Where the king is king, that is his kingdom.

Where does Christ reign as king today? In your heart? Then you are part of His kingdom. That is the personal aspect of this phrase.

In praying this prayer we recognise that Christ is not yet king over all the earth. There is also another kingdom - the kingdom of Satan and darkness - in the world today. That king, Satan, will often fight fiercely to prevent anyone moving from his kingdom into the kingdom of Christ.

When a soul accepts Christ as Saviour, he or she enters the kingdom of God. Being a member of the kingdom means my individual acceptance of the will of God. He is my king! What is the next part of the prayer? Thy will be done - those are the words of a member of Gods kingdom.

Our Saviour said these very searching words: Not everyone who says to me Lord, Lord will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

This prayer Thy kingdom come can mean so much:

1. That God might have full possession of my life as my King.

2. That He might gain entrance into the lives of others.

3. That the day might soon dawn when Christ the King returns.

This is the prophetic aspect which we will look at tomorrow.

How does a person enter the kingdom?

1. You enter it one at a time, not as a nation, but as an individual.

2. You enter it in childlike faith.

3. You enter it by acknowledging Jesus Christ as your Saviour and King. Can you truly pray today, Thy kingdom come?
