MATTHEW 8:19-8:20

马太福音8章19~20节

8:19    有一个经学家进前来，对祂说，夫子，你无论往那里去，我都要跟从你。

    And a scribe came near and said to Him, Teacher, I will follow You wherever You go.

8:20    耶稣对他说，狐狸有洞，天空的飞鸟有窝，人子却没有枕头的地方。

    And Jesus said to him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of heaven have roosts, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.

Enlightenment

The Lord seemed to be saying to the scribe, “Do you intend to follow Me? You have underestimated the price. You, a scribe, a learned one with a high rank in society, must realize that I am nothing and that I have nothing. I have even less than the birds and the foxes, for I have nowhere to lay My head.” I believe that the scribe was disappointed and that he did not follow Him. The principle of following the Lord is the same today. We must consider the price. In following this King, there is no material enjoyment.

亮光

主似乎对那经学家说，“你要跟从我么?你低估了代价。你是经学家，是有学问、社会地位崇高的人；你必须领悟我一无所是，一无所有。我甚至比飞鸟和狐狸都不如，因为我没有枕头的地方。”我相信那经学家很失望，就没有跟从祂。今天跟从主的原则也是一样。我们必须考虑到代价。跟从这位王，就没有物质的享受。
