上帝的公义和荣耀 BRD REFLECTIONS 创世纪 45，诗篇 45 (NIV) (华文事工主席王荣庆) 研读: 创世记 45:6-7 6 现在这地的饥荒已经二年了，还有五年不能耕种，不能收成。 7 神差我在你们以先来，为要给你们存留余种在世上，又要大施拯救，保全你们的生命。 诗篇 45:6 6 神啊，你的宝座是永永远远的，你的国权是正直的。 观察: 约瑟的故事显示了人类邪恶的程度，以及普遍的罪恶本性。 约瑟的哥哥们对他们的父亲雅各偏爱约瑟甚于他们感到非常不开心，这在他们心中激起一种非常强烈的不公义感。 他们认为约瑟是他们必须去掉的问题，并密谋杀害他。 在神主宰的计划中，他们在鲁本的劝说下改变了主意，决定将约瑟变卖为奴隶。约瑟最后到达埃及，经历了好几次戏剧性的事件，成为埃及的首相，被法老赋予绝大的权力来处理上帝在梦中向法老预言的 7 年饥荒危机。 与他的兄弟们不同，约瑟心中并没有对他兄弟们存有强烈和黑暗的不公义感，因为上帝在他的心中用爱、喜乐与平安取代了这种不公义的感受。 当约瑟顺服神的旨意时，神的荣耀在约瑟最黑暗的时候完全彰显在他的生命中。 世俗的公义就是惩罚不公义的行为。 神的公义是不同的，神要带走我们心中不公义的感受，使我们可以放下苦毒，从黑暗走入神光明的囯度, 诚心愿意成为祂荣耀的管道，以实现祂至高无上的计划。 应用: 我们如何应对发生在我们身上和世界上的不公义行为？ 保罗提醒我们不要以恶报恶 罗马书 12:17-18,21 17 不要以恶报恶。众人以为美的事，要留心去做。 18 若是能行，总要尽力与众人和睦。
