1️⃣ 余民是谁？

当审判如风暴般席卷列国，当一切骄傲高傲的人被拔除，神却不忘记祂忠心的子民。祂呼唤一群人——那些在黑暗中仍愿谦卑自己、仰望祂的人，成为余民，成为祂怜悯的见证。

【西番雅书2:3】
世上遵守耶和华典章的谦卑人哪，你们都当寻求耶和华；当寻求公义、寻求谦卑，或者在耶和华发怒的日子可以隐藏起来。

这群人不是因为自己有多强大，乃是因他们单单寻求神的心而蒙保守。即便风暴来临，他们仍选择在神面前低头，学会倚靠祂的名，成为神手中保留的种子，成为黑暗中微弱却坚定的光。

2️⃣ 余民的特质

神应许，这群余民要活出一个截然不同的生命：

【西番雅书3:12-13】
我却要在你中间留下困苦贫寒的民，他们必投靠我耶和华的名。以色列所剩下的人必不作罪孽，不说谎言，口中也没有诡诈的舌头，而且吃喝躺卧，无人惊吓。

这是一群经历过炼净、被眼泪洗过的百姓——他们谦卑、真实，不再被恐惧辖制。他们不说谎，不欺骗，不高抬自己，而是单单仰望耶和华。他们的平安不在于环境，而在于那位同在的神。

3️⃣ 余民的盼望

神不仅保留这群余民，更应许亲自复兴他们。祂的心意不是丢弃，而是恢复；不是惩罚的终点，而是荣耀的开始。

【西番雅书3:18-20】
那些为无大会愁烦、因你担当羞辱的，我必聚集他们。那时，我必罚办一切苦待你的人，又拯救你瘸腿的，聚集你被赶出的。那些在全地受羞辱的，我必使他们得称赞，有名声。那时，我必领你们进来，聚集你们。我使你们被掳之人归回的时候，就必使你们在地上的万民中有名声，得称赞。

这是神的心意——祂要医治伤痕，恢复尊荣，使曾受羞辱的人得着称赞，使曾被赶散的人重新聚集。余民不再是卑微被遗忘的人，而是神亲手所托付的荣耀见证。

4️⃣ 我们的回应

亲爱的弟兄姐妹，
在这末后的世代，愿我们成为这群余民——无论环境多么黑暗，我们仍选择谦卑自己，寻求神的面，不倚靠自己，持守公义与真理。

即使你曾被拒绝，曾流泪，曾孤单，神说：

“那时，我必领你们进来，聚集你们。”
祂必亲自复兴你，擦去你脸上的羞辱，让你在地上万民中得称赞，成为祂荣耀的见证。

愿我们成为这世代的余民——
在绝望中点燃盼望，在黑暗中活出光明，在风暴中坚守信心，在世界中显出神的荣耀！

The Call and Hope of the Remnant — God’s Heart in the Book of Zephaniah

Date: May 27, 2025

1️⃣ Who Are the Remnant?

When judgment sweeps across nations like a raging storm, when the proud and arrogant are torn down, God does not forget His faithful ones. He calls out to a people — those who choose to humble themselves in the darkness, to lift their eyes to Him — to become the remnant, the witnesses of His mercy.

Zephaniah 2:3
Seek the Lord, all you humble of the earth, who do His just commands; seek righteousness; seek humility; perhaps you may be hidden on the day of the anger of the Lord.

These are not the mighty by the world’s standards, but those who seek the heart of God alone. Even as the storm rages, they bow low before the Lord, learning to rely on His name, becoming seeds preserved in His hand — small but steadfast lights in the darkness.

2️⃣ The Character of the Remnant

God promises that this remnant will live a radically different life:

Zephaniah 3:12-13
But I will leave in your midst a people humble and lowly. They shall seek refuge in the name of the Lord. Those who are left in Israel shall do no injustice and speak no lies, nor shall there be found in their mouth a deceitful tongue. For they shall graze and lie down, and none shall make them afraid.

This is a people refined by fire, washed in tears — humble, genuine, no longer ruled by fear. They do not lie, deceive, or exalt themselves, but fix their eyes on the Lord alone. Their peace is not anchored in circumstances, but in the God who is with them.

3️⃣ The Hope of the Remnant

God not only preserves the remnant; He promises to restore them with His own hands. His heart is not to abandon, but to heal; not to end in punishment, but to begin in glory.

Zephaniah 3:18-20
I will gather those of you who mourn for the festival, so that you will no longer suffer reproach. Behold, at that time I will deal with all your oppressors. And I will save the lame and gather the outcast, and I will change their shame into praise and renown in all the earth. At that time I will bring you in, at the time when I gather you together. For I will make you renowned and praised among all the peoples of the earth when I restore your fortunes before your eyes,” says the Lord.

This is God’s heart — to heal wounds, restore honor, turn shame into praise, and gather those who were scattered. The remnant are no longer the forgotten or despised, but the chosen witnesses of His glory.

4️⃣ Our Response

Dear brothers and sisters,
In these final days, may we be counted among the remnant — those who, no matter how dark the times, choose humility, seek God’s face, and hold fast to righteousness and truth.

Even if you have been rejected, have wept, or felt alone, God says:

“At that time, I will bring you in, I will gather you.”

He will personally restore you, wipe away your shame, and give you a name of honor among the nations. You will be His witness, shining for His glory.

May we rise as the remnant of this generation —
lighting hope in despair, living as light in the darkness, standing firm in the storm, and revealing the glory of God in this world.
