大齋期/Lent

復活節主日之前四十天是所謂的「大齋期」，

紀念主耶穌基督在開始他傳道事工前，曾在曠野禁食四十天受試探。

信徒在這四十天也專注在靈修，禁食，禱告及反省悔改。

（禁食這一部份可以依個人健康狀況在食物上的節制，

主要意義是在於專注在屬靈的事情，而非肉體的事情上。）

這個大齋期的傳統有其意義，

然而，我們要思考一下，

捫心自問這豈不是我們日常該做的嗎？

「當時，耶穌被聖靈引到曠野，受魔鬼的試探。 

他禁食四十晝夜，後來就餓了。 

那試探人的進前來，

對他說：「你若是神的兒子，可以吩咐這些石頭變成食物。」 

耶穌卻回答說：「 經上記着說： 人活着，不是單靠食物， 

乃是靠神口裏所出的一切話。」 

魔鬼就帶他進了聖城，叫他站在殿頂 上，

 對他說：「你若是神的兒子，可以跳下去，

因為經上記着說： 主要為你吩咐祂的使者用手托着你， 

免得你的腳碰在石頭上。」 

耶穌對他說：「 經上又記着說：『不可試探主－你的神。』」

 魔鬼又帶他上了一座最高的山，

將世上的萬國與萬國的榮華都指給他看，

 對他說：「你若俯伏拜我，我就把這一切都賜給你。」 

耶穌說：「撒但 ，退去吧！

因為經上記着說： 當拜主－你的神， 單要事奉祂。」

 於是，魔鬼離了耶穌，有天使來伺候他。」

馬太福音 4:1-11 CUNP-神

Forty days before Easter Sunday is the so-called " Lent".

 It is to commemorate the Lord Jesus Christ who fasted and 

overcame the 40 days of temptations in the wilderness

 before starting his ministry.

 Believers also focus on spiritual practice,

 fasting, prayer, reflection and repentance during these forty days.

 (This part of fasting is Okay to be based on 

the temperance of personal health in food,

 The main meaning is to focus on spiritual things

 rather than physical things.  )

 This Lent tradition has its meaning.

 However, we have to contemplate,

and ask ourselves “Aren’t these what we should do every day?”

“Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness

 to be tempted by the devil. And after fasting forty days and forty nights, 

he was hungry. And the tempter came and said to him, 

“If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread.” 

But he answered, “It is written, “‘Man shall not live by bread alone,

 but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’” 

Then the devil took him to the holy city and set him

 on the pinnacle of the temple and said to him, “If you are the Son of God,

 throw yourself down, for it is written,

 “‘He will command his angels concerning you,’ 

and “‘On their hands they will bear you up,

 lest you strike your foot against a stone.’” 

Jesus said to him, “Again it is written, ‘You shall not put the Lord your God

 to the test.’” Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain

 and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory.

 And he said to him, “All these I will give you,

 if you will fall down and worship me.” 

Then Jesus said to him, “Be gone, Satan!

 For it is written, “‘You shall worship the Lord your God 

and him only shall you serve.’” 

Then the devil left him, and behold, 

angels came and were ministering to him.”

Matthew 4:1-11 ESV
