梦游圣经66本书

日期：25/3/25

经文：玛拉基书 4:2
“但向你们敬畏我名的人，必有公义的日头出现，其光线（‘光线’原文作‘翅膀’）有医治之能。你们必出来跳跃，如圈里的肥犊。”

背景：

玛拉基书是旧约最后一卷书，写于以色列人归回巴比伦后。他们虽然重建了圣殿，但信仰冷淡，甚至质疑神的公义（玛3:13-15）。因此，玛拉基先知宣告，神必施行审判，恶人要被毁灭，而敬畏神的人将经历祂的光明、医治与喜乐。

在第4章中：
• 第1节：恶人将在“烈火的日子”被焚烧。
• 第2节（重点思考经文）：敬畏神的人将被公义的日头光照，得医治与释放。
• 第3节：他们将得胜，践踏恶人。

这节经文对比了恶人的结局和义人的盼望，强调神的公义和救赎。

关键字分析：

1. “公义的日头”
   • 代表光明、温暖、生命，象征神的同在和公义的彰显。
   • 预表耶稣基督（路1:78），祂是世界的光（约8:12），带来救赎和医治。
2. “光线”（原文作“翅膀”）有医治之能
   • “光线”原文是“翅膀”（כָּנָף, kanaph），有遮盖、保护、医治的含义。
   • 让人想到诗篇91:4 “祂必用自己的翎毛遮蔽你。”
   • 预表耶稣的医治能力，如血漏妇人摸耶稣的衣襟（kanaph）就得医治（太9:20-22）。
3. “你们必出来跳跃，如圈里的肥犊”
   • “肥犊”象征喜乐、活力和释放，如同被圈养已久的牛犊重获自由，奔跑跳跃。
   • 预表神子民在祂的恩典中得释放，充满喜乐。

应用：

1. 让基督的光进入生命
   • 你的生活中是否有黑暗、迷茫或罪的辖制？
   • 耶稣是公义的日头，祂能照亮你的生命，引领你走在光明中。
2. 依靠神的医治
   • 你是否带着伤痛、疾病或破碎的心灵，渴望得医治？
   • 无论是身体、情感或灵魂的创伤，祂的“翅膀”能遮盖你，使你得恢复。
3. 在神的恩典中得自由与喜乐
   • 你是否仍被恐惧、失败或罪捆绑？
   • 神的应许是真实的，愿你凭信心迈出步伐，在祂的恩典中喜乐奔跑！

回应：

公义的日头已经升起，光明已照耀，医治已预备，自由已赐下。你愿意敞开生命，让基督光照你、医治你，使你奔跑在祂的恩典中吗？

The Sun of Righteousness—God’s Light, Healing, and Freedom

Scripture: Malachi 4:2
“But for you who fear My name, the Sun of Righteousness will rise with healing in its wings; and you will go forth and leap like calves from the stall.”

⸻

Background

The Book of Malachi is the last book of the Old Testament, written after the Israelites returned from Babylonian exile. Though they had rebuilt the temple, their faith had grown cold, and they even questioned God’s justice (Mal. 3:13-15). Therefore, the prophet Malachi proclaimed that God would bring judgment upon the wicked, but those who feared Him would experience His light, healing, and joy.

In chapter 4:
• Verse 1: The wicked will be burned in the coming “day of fire.”
• Verse 2 (Key Verse): Those who fear God will be illuminated by the Sun of Righteousness, receiving healing and freedom.
• Verse 3: They will triumph over the wicked.

This verse contrasts the fate of the wicked with the hope of the righteous, emphasizing God’s justice and redemption.

   • Reminds us of Psalm 91:4: “He will cover you with His feathers.”
