1-11節--我們的委身有多真？

以賽亞書 第58章

以色列人究竟做錯了甚麼事，導致以賽亞要代表神向他們說出這番斥責呢？今天許多基督徒都犯了同樣的過錯，就是對神和神的工作缺乏真正的委身，雖然他們經常參與教會的聚會。

以賽亞要向百姓大聲喊叫，要讓所以人聽見，因為他要指出他們的罪。

百姓究竟做了甚麼事情，是神不喜悅的呢？他們是教條主義者，他們謹守一切禮儀，以為這樣做就能得到神的悅納。守禁食是他們遵守律法的一種表現，他們以為只要定時守禁食，就能討神的喜悅。

然而，神對禁食的心意，卻與他們的想法有很大分別。他們因為禁食而肚餓，於是便出現煩躁和易惱，彼此磨擦(4節)。但神心目中的禁食，是引導他們更親近神的一種方式。

神的心意至今如一。祂期望我們的敬拜能引領我們與祂建立更深的關係，愈來愈有敬祂愛祂之心。

第6至7節指出，百姓對別人漠不關心。神要對他們說：「如果你們真的與我相交，如果你們真的將生命獻給我；如果你們真正委身於我；那麼，你們對別人的態度就應該截然不同。你們會把餅分給飢餓的人，會將衣服送給衣不蔽體的人，你們會盡力去幫助那些不幸的人。」

我們今天如何實踐這幾節經文呢？倘若我們真正委身於主，那麼，我們同樣要切切關心別人。若有人患病，或有任何缺乏，或是未認識救主，我們都要立即伸出援手，並帶領他們認識基督。

留意第9至11節的寶貴應許。願我們都特別抓緊第11節中，神所應許的五件事，並求神的應許在你的生命中應驗。

HOW REAL IS OUR COMMITMENT?
BIBLE READING: Isaiah 58:1-11

What was wrong with Israel when Isaiah spoke these words of God to them? The same thing that is wrong with many people today-lack of real commitment to God and his service, though they are often found in church.

Isaiah was to speak so that no-one could misunderstand him. He was to show the people their sin.

What were the people doing which so displeased God? They were religious formalists. They were relying on ritual for their acceptance before God. Fasting was one of their ways of doing this. They thought this would please God.

Gods plan for fasting was very different. Going without food made them irritable and difficult (v. 4). God wanted fasting to be the means of leading them closer to himself.

Gods plan is still the same. He wants our worship to bring us into deeper fellowship with himself. He is waiting for us to share our time, our love, ourselves with him in deeper ways than we have ever done before.

In verses 6 and 7 God mentions the peoples lack of concern for others. He is saying If you really mean business with me; if your life is truly dedicated to me; if your commitment to me is what it should be; all this will be seen in your attitude toward others. You will feed those who are hungry and clothe those who need it. You will do everything you can to help those less fortunate than yourselves.

What is the application of these verses to us today? If our own personal commitment to Jesus Christ is what we say it is, it too will be seen in our concern for others. If someone is sick, if they are in need, if they dont know Jesus Christ, we will be the ones to help them and point them to the Saviour.

Notice the wonderful promises of verses 9 to 11 and particularly claim verse 11 for yourself as Gods word to you today. Mark the five things God promises and ask him to make them real in your life today.
