1-14節--不叫我們遇見試探

雅各書 第1章

甚麼是試探？任何東西或意念，只要是引誘我們去犯罪的，都算是試探。任何人都會遇到試探。有些試探會公然地挑戰我們，但另一些卻非常隱晦，令人誤墮而不自知。有些試探是突然出現，另一些卻一步一步地引人誤入歧途。只要我們一日活在世間，試探都會不斷侵擾我們。直至主耶穌接我們回到天家的那一天，我們才能夠完全脫離試探。

那麼，「不叫我們遇見試探」這句祈求又是甚麼意思呢？神當然不會帶領我們進入試探之中。著名的希臘學者羅拔信博士(Dr. A. T. Robertson)將這句經文翻譯為：「不要讓我們被引誘進入試探」。奧古斯丁對這句經文的翻譯亦大致相同。我們可以禱告說：「求你保守我們，使我們不會遇見一些無力抗拒的試探，不會遭到撒但的攻擊，不會被世俗和我們本身的邪情私慾所牽引和誘惑。」我們若不能像小孩子般，打從內心發出這個單純的祈求，我們便很容易在毫無防備下失足跌倒。

是不是所有試探都是出於撒但的詭計？答案可以是「是」，但也可以是「否」。撒但當然會試探我們，但他還有兩位「得力助手」。首先，就是這個遠離神的世界，這個充滿貪婪和物質主義掛帥的世界。它雖然充斥著謊話、欺騙和詭詐；可是，它卻有莫大的吸引力，隨時會引誘我們犯罪。

然後，就是我們每個人的舊本性。這種舊本性只想滿足自己，而且，它還貪愛世界、容易嫉妒、批評、憎恨別人和亂發脾氣。試探仿如星星之火，足以燃起我們的各種慾火，使我們引火自焚。

有甚麼出路呢？唯有呼求天父的救助：「救我們脫離兇惡」。神當然有能力拯救我們，祂也極願意救助我們，只要我們呼求祂的幫助，祂必然為我們開一條出路。請翻到哥林多前書十章13節，重覆讀它好幾遍，直至你深深領受當中的真理。當你遇到試探的時候，切記馬上呼求主說：「主啊，求你拯救我、保守我、堅固我，我希望能勝過它。父啊，我是你的兒女，我信靠你的保護，謝謝你。」

牢記：只要你求救主幫助，祂必領你抵達平安之地。

LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION

What is temptation? It is an invitation or suggestion to sin. It touches all of us, younger and older. It can come subtly or openly. It can come suddenly or gradually. It can come persistently. It will be here with us until the Lord takes us home.

But what does this phrase mean? Lead us not into temptation? Surely God does not lead us into temptation. Dr. A. T. Robertson, a noted Greek scholar, translated the phrase this way: Do not allow us to be led into temptation. Saint Augustine translated it the same way. We could say, Keep us from situations where temptation will be too strong for us. Defend us from the attacks of Satan, the attractions of the world and from our own wrong desires. When we fail to pray this simple child-like prayer from our heart, we are exposing ourselves to unnecessary upset and failure.

Is Satan behind every temptation? The answer could be Yes and No. Satan certainly brings temptation but he also has two very strong allies. One is the world around us, the world of men, away from God. The world of greed and materialism. It is filled with lies, deceit and dishonesty. It can however be tremendously attractive.

Then there is our old nature which is within us. It wants to please itself. It is attracted by the world. It shows up in jealousy, in a critical spirit, in bad temper and hatred. A spark of temptation can set all these things aflame.

The" solution? A cry to our Heavenly Father. Deliver us from evil He can do it. He wants to do it. He waits to do it. He is only a prayer away. Turn to 1 Corinthians 10:13 and read it over and over until its truth grips your heart. Then when you are tempted, call on your Heavenly Father. Deliver me, Lord. Save me. Rescue me now. Strengthen me. Keep me. May I have victory now. I am your child. Thank you Father.

Ask the Saviour to help you...

He is willing to aid you.

HE WILL CARRY YOU THROUGH.
