服事之道：讓神的作為被顯出來
5/6/2018 約9：1-23 北投禮拜堂。 林義順長老
議論紛紛，鄰居，法利賽人，他父母
看見：
耶穌看見瞎眼者的苦難。引門徒去看世間的苦難！
苦難使敘利亞難民信主且願意公開信主身份。
耶穌注意此事。門徒的角度是犯罪和苦難的關連。
這是世人常有的角度：因果關係！
不是犯罪和苦難來看這問題。是在他身上顯出神的昨為。讓神的工作在這人身上被顯出來。
土石流，地震等發生第一是去救災，解決問題。若先探討原因，就和我們沒關係了！
在人的苦難中讓神的工作被顯示出來。不是在苦難中去愛他！若是上帝的工作，怎麼是被顯出來？
第四節 趁著白晝，必須去工作，去做差我們來者的工。
做(2038編號)：勞力，1.專職2.投資，5千兩做買賣賺5千，這是主工人做工的方向。使投資在差我來者的工作上。這是教會的工作，我們也是。我們投資多少在神的工作上。
1.上帝要關心苦難的人
2.上帝常不主動工作
3.上帝要我們去做神的工
不是把一個工作做完做好就好了，不是按我們想做的事
我們要去尋求神的心意，去思考。做愛心的工作！
一邊學習親近主，做愛心的工作。
趁著白晝：做神的工要藉神的能力來工作！
西羅雅池：奉差遣之意。為什麼要吐唾沫與土，抹在瞎子眼睛是泥不是土。這為什麼耶穌不用一句話，不用…
回到創世記第一章，用泥來造人，即重新造一對眼睛
真正大問題是生命的問題，醫治疾病只要神蹟就解決
生命的問題在於人與人的關係，生命的問題。鄰居沒有人為他被醫治高興，問為什麼？且要調查他。沒有一個人有愛心。
猶太人不信這神蹟
父母親說不知道原因，是怕猶太人，說不知道，也在說謊。
結論
看到耶穌的心，關心苦難的人！愛心的工作，看人，看事，看問題，看神的工作。有時愛心反而變成控制，轄制，不准別人碰。

It will go well with those who convict the guilty
Proverbs 24:23-34
To show partiality in judging is not good:
But it will go well with those who convict the guilty, and rich blessing will come on them.
An honest answer is like a kiss on the lips.
I applied my heart to what I observed and learn a lesson from what I saw a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest - and poverty will come on you like a thief and scarcity(缺乏) like an armed man.
After 30 sayings comes a 'postscript'(後記) of additional saying focusing on justice and hard work, with a sketch of the lazy person in verse 30-34.
The Hebrew has several possible meanings, but it seems to imply a book of sayings which consists of 30 paragraphs or chapters.
Why?
God hate partiality like we speak honest with pure heart.
Everyone has sin against God, so it will be blessed to convict the guilty.
Work hard is needed since Adam had sinned, diligent to work and earn what we need in my life. Then the rich comes, poverty goes away.
How?
Word hard with joy and convict out guilty before the Lord! Don't show partiality in judging.
