1. 你要愛耶和華你的 神、常守 他的吩咐、律例、典章、誡命。
2. 你們今日當知道、我本不是和你們的兒女說話、因為他們不知道、也沒有看見耶和華你們 神的管教、威嚴、大能的手、和伸出來的膀臂、3 並他在埃及中向埃及王法老、和其全地所行的神蹟奇事、
4. 也沒有看見他怎樣待埃及的軍兵、車馬、他們追趕你們的時候、耶和華怎樣使紅海的水淹沒他們、將他們滅絕直到今日．
5. 並他在曠野怎樣待你們、以致你們來到這地方．
6. 也沒有看見他怎樣待流便子孫以利押的兒子、大坍、亞比蘭、地怎樣在以色列人中間開口吞了他們和他們的家眷、並帳棚、與跟他們的一切活物．
7. 惟有你們親眼看見耶和華所作的一切大事。
解經: 申命記11:1-7,
回憶參與信實的實況給於世界一個愉快的期望。摩西知道這重要的事實和供應能力之例，但百性的下一代子民，代代不了解上帝解救他們出埃及的故事，摩西力歉祂們曾被上帝的全能的手拯救的會眾來敬奉上帝。更進一步的，摩西呼喚百性要保持規律、律法、和神的命令。這基本的原則在本週教材中呼喚讀者的是上帝的信實，使吾人必記得操練這個信實。
一個很顯著地能力反映在這經文中是在家中教導信仰或信心。
摩西知道要傳說上帝拯救百姓的故事必在晚餐桌之家裡，摩西也叮嚀他們凡常守神的吩咐、律例、典章、誡命” (11:1b)。上帝不只是拯救他們，也供應一條邁向成功清楚的路。上帝實在帶領他們到此地步。
聖潔不只是使固定在教會，當然聖潔要每日保持在記憶的知覺裏並喻為上帝是信實的。經文見證不只是今日的需要，且也是強有力的提醒我們上帝將會有公正的判決或釋放。

解經: 助長的信心:申命記11:18-21,
家庭能是最精隨的、最基本能鼓勵和助長年輕人心裏與腦裏的信仰堅固之所在地。摩西力勸: “要教訓你們的兒女、無論坐在家裡、行在路上、躺下、起來、都要談論(11:19)。”這些發生是在當 我們聽從上帝的命令 - 記住聖潔帶來生活的充實- 並且讓上帝的亮光照明黒暗的環境。 連結信和善给世界供應一好見證。

慈悲顯明ㄧ 生: 歌羅西書 3:18-25
18 你們作妻子的、當順服自己的丈夫、這在主裡面是相宜的。
19 你們作丈夫的、要愛你們的妻子、不可苦待他們。

21你們作父親的、不要惹兒女的氣、恐怕他們失了志氣。
22你們作僕人的、要凡事聽從你們肉身的主人、不要只在眼前事奉、像是討人喜歡的、總要存心誠實敬畏主．
23 無論作甚麼、都要從心裡作、像是給主作的、不是給人作的。
24 因你們知道從主那裡、必得著基業為賞賜．你們所事奉的乃是主基督。
25 那行不義的、必受不義的報解;主並不偏待人。
解經: 慈悲顯明ㄧ 生: Colossians 3:18-25, 保羅對三種家庭關係: 1) 丈夫與妻子; 2)父母與子女; 3) 主人與奴隸，提出一些準則。在每一對關係裏，兩方都有責任彼此順服與受保護，服從與鼓勵，公平對待對方，並殷勤工作。檢查一下自己的家庭和工作關係，您與他人的關係有如上帝的意旨嗎？看看是否合神的要求呢？請參考以弗所書5:21-6:9

- Love the LORD your God and keep his requirements,
his decrees, his laws and his commands always.
- Remember today that your children were not
the ones who saw and experienced the discipline of the LORD your God:
his majesty, his mighty hand, his outstretched arm;
- the signs he performed and the things he
did in the heart of Egypt, both to Pharaoh king of Egypt and to his
whole country;
- what he did to the Egyptian army, to its
horses and chariots, how he overwhelmed them with the waters of the Red
Sea as they were pursuing you, and how the LORD brought lasting ruin
on them.
- It was not your children who saw what he
did for you in the desert until you arrived at this place,
- and what he did to Dathan and Abiram, sons
of Eliab the Reubenite, when the earth opened its mouth right in the
middle of all Israel and swallowed them up with their households,
their tents and every living thing that belonged to them.
- But it was your own eyes that saw all these
great things the LORD has done.
Commentary: Deuteronomy 11:1-7, Memory joined with faithful practice offers
hope for a resilient witness before the world. Moses knew this important
fact and provided a powerful example. The story of God has unfolded over
many generations of failure as the Hebrews inched toward the Promised Land.
Moses urged those assembled to embrace the God who had delivered them by
His mighty hand. Further, he called them to keep the decrees, laws, and
commands. The underlying theme found in this passage reminds the reader
that God has been faithful, but we are called to remember and practice the
faith.
A
particularly powerful image found in this passage is the teaching of faith
at home. Moses knew
that the story of God’s deliverance must first live at home around the dinner
table. Moses reminds those who love God “to keep his requirements, his
decrees, his laws, and his commands” (11:1b). God not only delivered the
Hebrews, but He provided a clear
path toward success. God had indeed brought them to this moment.
Holiness
is not a concept locked up at church. Rather it is lived out every day in
conscious memory and anticipation of the faithfulness of God. The Scripture
witnesses to the presence of challenges, but also powerfully reminds us that
God has and will deliver.
2. Fostering Faith:
Deuteronomy
11:18-21, 18 Fix
these words of mine in your hearts and
minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 19 Teach
them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you
walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. 20 Write them on the doorframes of your houses and
on your gates, 21 so that
your days and the days of your children may be many in the land that the
LORD swore to give your forefathers, as many as the days that the heavens
are above the earth.
Commentary: Fostering
Faith: Deuteronomy 11:18-21, The family can be the essential element
for fostering the faith in the minds and hearts of the young. Moses urges: “Teach
them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you
walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up” (11:19). This
happens when we keep His requirements - remember that holiness brings
fullness of life - and allow the light of God’s promises to shine into the
darkness. The link between faith and virtue provides a witness to the
world.
3. Grace Defines Life:
Colossians
3:18-25 18 Wives,
submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. 19 Husbands,
love your wives and do not be harsh with them. 20 Children,
obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord. 21 Fathers,
do not embitter your children, or they will become discouraged. 22 Slaves,
obey your earthly masters in everything; and do it, not only when their eye
is on you and to win their favor, but with sincerity of heart and reverence
for the Lord. 23 Whatever you do, work at it with all your
heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, 24 since you know that you will receive an
inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.
25 Anyone who does wrong will be repaid for his
wrong, and there is no favoritism.
Commentary: Grace Defines Life: Colossians 3:18-25, Paul gives rules for three
sets of household relationships: 1) husbands and wives, 2) parents and children,
and 3) masters and slaves. In each case there is mutual responsibility to
submit and love, to obey and encourage, to work hard and be fair. Examine
your family and work relationships. Do you relate to others as God
intended? See Ephesians 5:21-6:9 for similar instructions.
3. Conclusions: Love at
Home, through families, God tells the story of His love and grace to
succeeding generations.
POINT: 1) Faith at Home: Love the
Lord, Keep His Law, His decrees and His commands.
2)
Always teaching children: No
matter they are home or outside keeping remind them, write on the
doorframes of your houses to remind them the law, decrees for fostering their
faith.
3)
Grace Defines Life: Three
sets of household relationships: 1) We are with spouse 2) with parents or
children, and 3) with masters or slaves to submit and love, to
obey and encourage, to work hard and be fair.
