梦游圣经66本书

日期：2025年5月6日

经文：以斯拉记 3:10–13

“他们立好了耶和华殿的根基，祭司穿着礼服，吹号，亚萨的子孙利未人敲钹，都照着以色列王大卫所定的礼仪站着赞美耶和华……许多老年祭司、利未人和族长，就是见过从前殿的老年人，现在亲眼看见立这殿的根基，便大声哭号；也有许多人大声欢呼。”

一、年轻真好，因为我们站在“新根基”上

以色列人从被掳归回，开始重建圣殿。年轻的一代可能未曾见过所罗门的辉煌圣殿，却勇敢地参与新圣殿的重建。他们不是靠着过去的经验，而是凭着对未来的盼望而动工。

属灵应用： 今天的年轻人，虽然可能没有经历过去的复兴高峰，但神呼召他们来奠定新的属灵根基。

二、年轻真好，因为我们有纯真的敬拜与渴慕

经文中，有人哭泣，也有人欢呼。老年人因怀念过去的荣耀而落泪，年轻人却因眼前的恢复而喜乐。年轻的心，更容易单纯相信神正在做新事。

属灵应用： 年轻人带来的不只是体力，更是一种对神不设限的信心。

三、年轻真好，因为我们愿意回应时代的呼召

以斯拉记后期，许多年轻的利未人、文士、门徒开始学习律法、服事圣殿、敬拜神。他们不是因传统而行动，而是因呼召而回应。

属灵应用： 在每一个需要属灵重建的时代，神总是兴起愿意回应的年轻人。

结语与反思：

今天的我们，也许不是刚刚归回的以色列人，但在这个时代的混乱与重建中，神仍在呼唤肯献上自己的人。你愿意成为那个在艰难中仍勇敢回应神呼召、参与重建的人吗？

“年轻真好，不是因为年纪，而是因为一颗愿意被神使用的心。”

祷告回应：

主啊，感谢祢赐我们当中的年轻人，求祢也赐予我一颗年轻的心，让我在祢的呼召中被兴起。愿我不因年纪限制自己，愿意在祢的工作中尽上我的力量，成为祢复兴计划的一部分。奉主耶稣的名祷告，阿们

Being Young Is a Blessing—Rising Amid Revival

Date: May 6, 2025

Scripture: Ezra 3:10–13

“When the builders laid the foundation of the temple of the Lord, the priests in their vestments with trumpets, and the Levites (the sons of Asaph) with cymbals, took their places to praise the Lord, as prescribed by David king of Israel… But many of the older priests and Levites and family heads, who had seen the former temple, wept aloud when they saw the foundation of this temple being laid, while many others shouted for joy.”

1. Being Young Is a Blessing Because We Stand on a ‘New Foundation’

The Israelites returned from exile and began rebuilding the temple. The younger generation may never have seen Solomon’s grand temple, yet they bravely took part in constructing the new one. They did not rely on past experiences but stepped forward with hope for the future.

Spiritual Application: Today’s young people may not have witnessed past revivals, but God calls them to lay new spiritual foundations.

2. Being Young Is a Blessing Because We Have Pure Worship and Hunger for God

In the passage, some wept while others rejoiced. The elders cried, remembering past glory, but the young celebrated the restoration before them. A young heart is more inclined to simply believe that God is doing something new.

Spiritual Application: Young people bring not just energy but also a faith in God that knows no limits.

3. Being Young Is a Blessing Because We Are Willing to Answer the Call of Our Time

Later in Ezra, many young Levites, scribes, and disciples started learning the law, serving in the temple, and worshiping God. They did not act out of tradition but responded to the calling.

Spiritual Application: In every era needing spiritual rebuilding, God always raises up young people willing to respond.

Conclusion & Reflection:

We may not be Israelites freshly returning from exile, but in the midst of today’s chaos and restoration, God still seeks those willing to offer themselves. Will you be one who bravely responds to His call and participates in rebuilding?

“Being young is a blessing—not because of age, but because of a heart willing to be used by God.”

Prayer Response:

Lord, thank You for the young hearts among us. I ask that You grant me a heart that remains young in spirit, ready to rise in response to Your calling. May I not limit myself by age, but give my strength to Your work, becoming part of Your plan for revival. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
