21 耶穌又對他們說、人拿燈來、豈是要放在斗底下、床底下、 不放在燈臺上麼。 22
因為掩藏 的事、沒有不顯出來的．隱瞞的事、沒有不露出來的。23 有耳可聽的、就應當聽。24 又說、你們所聽的要留心．你們用甚麼量器量給人、也必用甚麼量器量給你們、並且要多給你們。25因為有的、還要給他．沒有的、連他所有的也要奪去。
解經: 馬可福音4:21-25
4:21, 您可知您可成為別人之光?
燈如不能幫助看見周圍的環境，
便沒有用。您的生命能否指示別人去尋找神? 若不能就要問一下究竟是什麽“斗” 把您的光遮蓋起來。自滿、怨恨、頑固、不肯順服都是“斗”，就神的光不能透過您照在其他人身上。
4:21-24, 真理的光不是穩藏的，而是顯露出來讓人看見。可是，人不一定能即時領會和運用所有真理。唯有實踐神的教導，才會對真理有深深的領會。真理是明確的，只是我們的悟性有限; 我們順服神，觸覺便會更敏銳，對真理領受也會更深 (參雅1章22-25節).
4:25, 這句話正好說明，我們有責任好好的運用所擁有的一切才能和資源。擁有多少並不重要。重要的是我們如何運用這些東西。

認知之果子: Mark
4:26-32
|
21 He said to them, "Do you bring in a lamp to put it under a bowl or a bed? Instead, don't
you put it on its stand? 22 For whatever is hidden is meant to be disclosed, and whatever is concealed is meant to be brought out into the open. 23 If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear." 24 "Consider carefully what you hear," he continued. "With the measure you use, it
will be measured to you--and even more. 25 Whoever has will be given more; whoever does
not have, even what he has will be taken from him."
Commentary: Mark 4:21- 25 4:21, Do
you know that you can become
others’ light? If a lamp doesn’t help people see, it is useless.
Does your life show
other people how to find God and how to live for Him? If not, ask what
“bowls” have extinguished your light. Complacency, resentment, stubbornness of
heart, or disobedience could keep God’s light from shining through you to
others.
4:21-24, The light of Jesus’
truth is revealed to us not hidden. But we may not be able to see or to use all
of that truth right now. Only as we put God’s teachings into practice will we
understand and see more of the truth. The truth is clear, but our ability to understand
is imperfect. As we
obey, we will sharpen our vision and increase our understanding (see
James 1:22-25).
4:25, This verse simply means that we are responsible to use well what we
have. How much we have is not nearly as important as what we do with it.

SEEDS OF KNOWLEDGE: Mark 4:26-32

|
26-29: 26, 耶穌說…的國、如同 人把種撒在地上、27.
黑夜睡覺、白日起來、這種就發芽漸長、 那人卻不曉得如何這樣。28.
地 生五穀是出於自然的．先發苗、後長穗、再後穗上結成飽滿的子粒。29. 穀既熟了、就用鐮刀去割、因為收成的時候到了。
解經: 馬可福音4:26-29,
只有馬可 福音記載了這個有關於神國的比喻。這比喻顯明屬靈的成長是個漸進的過程，不像成熟，最後達到圓滿。看植物的成長，我們便會明白靈命成長的真理: 植物的 成長雖然緩慢，卻每天都在不斷地長大。
4:30-32, 經文: 30.
又說、神的國、我們可用甚麼比較呢．可用甚麼比喻表明呢？31. 好像一粒 芥菜種、種在地裏的時候、雖比地上的百種都小、32. 但種上以後、就長起來、比各樣的菜都大、又長出大枝來．甚至天上的飛鳥、可以宿在他的蔭下. 解經: 4:30-32, 耶穌用這比喻來說明，神的國在開始時看來很微小，後來屬神的子民卻偏及全世界。單您感到孤單，覺得只有自己為基督努力時，不要忘記神在建立一個普世的國度，在世界各處都有忠心跟隨神的人. 無論您的信心如何的微小，都可以與其他信徒的信心連合起來, 為神成就大事.

解開結: 馬可福音4:33-34,
“33 耶穌用許多這樣的比喻、 照他們所能聽的、對他們講道．34 若不用比喻、就不對他們講．
沒有人的時侯、就把一切的道講 給門徒聽.
解經: 4:33-34, 耶穌配合聽眾的理解能力與追求真理的心，採取不同的 教學方法。祂講的比喻，並非為擾 亂群眾，而是邀請真正的追尋者發 覺話中的真正含意。耶穌大多數的 教訓都針對宗教領袖的偽善和不良 動機。如果祂直接指責這些領袖， 祂公開的工作便會受到防礙。不過 細心聆聽耶穌教訓的人，就會明白 祂所說的話。
結論: 真實的主-
我們看到困難; 也認知惡魔的力量; 我們怕沒改變好些情況. 但神是勝利的。經耶穌的那芥菜種的比喻 是好粒子。
經過聖靈，我們真正能改變如何
看世界，與如何改變我們實在的生
命。
請再次閱讀思想第30-32節有關芥
菜種的舉例.

26-29: 26, He also said, "This is what the kingdom of
God is like. A man scatters seed on the ground. 27. Night and day, whether he sleeps or gets up, the seed
sprouts and grows, though he does not know how. 28. All by itself the soil
produces grain--first the stalk, then the head, then the full kernel in the
head. 29. As soon as the grain is
ripe, he puts the sickle to it, because the harvest has come."
Commentary: Mark
4:26-29, This parable about the kingdom of God, recorded only by Mark, reveals
that spiritual growth is a continual, gradual process that is finally consummated
in a harvest of spiritual maturity. We can understand the process of spiritual growth by
comparing it to the slow but certain growth of a plant.
4:30-32,
30. Again he said,
"What shall we say the kingdom of God is like, or what parable shall we
use to describe it?
31. It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest
seed you plant in the ground. 32. Yet when planted, it grows and becomes the largest
of all garden plants, with such big branches that the birds of the air can
perch in its shade."
Commentary: 4:30-32, Jesus used this parable to explain that although Christianity had very small
beginnings, it would grow into a worldwide community of believers. When you feel alone in
your stand for Christ, realize that God is building a worldwide kingdom, He has faithful followers in every part of the world, and your faith, no matter how small, can join
with that of others to accomplish great things.
3. UNTYING THE KNOTS: Mark 4:33 – 34: “33 With many similar
parables Jesus spoke the word to them, as much as they could understand. 34 He did not say anything
to them without using a parable. But when he was alone with his own
disciples, he explained everything.
Commentary: 4:33-34,
Jesus adapted His methods to his audience’s ability and
desire to understand. He didn’t speak in parables to confuse people, but to
challenge sincere seekers to discover the meaning of his words. Much of Jesus’
teaching was against hypocrisy and impure motives-characteristics of the religious leaders. Had Jesus spoken against the
leaders directly, his public ministry would have been hampered. Those who
listened carefully to Jesus knew what he was talking about.
POINT: THE LORD OF TRUTH - We see obstacles; we recognize the power of evil; we fear that nothing
will ever change for the better. But God’s truth triumphs. Jesus made this
point through His parable of the mustard seed.
Through the Holy Spirit, we can truly change how we see the world, and that will change how we
actually live. To end today’s session, re-examine the parable of the
mustard seed in verses 30-32.
