耶利米 1:7 耶和華對我說:「不要說『我年輕』,因為我差遣你到誰那裏去,你都要去;
我吩咐你說甚麼話,你都要說。8 你不要怕他們,因為我與你同在,要拯救你。
這是耶和華說的。」
Jeremiah 1:7 But the Lord said to me,“Do not say, ‘I am only a youth’; for to all to whom I send you, you shall go, and whatever I command you, you shall speak. 8 Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you to deliver you, declares the Lord.”
在猶大國最黑暗的時候,上帝呼召一個叫耶利米的年輕人來完成一個不可能的任務:“我要差遣你到誰那裏去,你都要去;我吩咐你說甚麼話,你都要說。” 這是一項艱鉅的任務,因為耶利米正處於一個敵對的環境中,向各民族說上帝的審判。 接到這個任務對耶利米來說一定是非常嚇人的震撼,因為他還只是個年輕人,並不知怎樣說。 (第6節)但上帝決不派人出去,然後讓他們獨自一人承擔。 上帝應許耶利米說:“不要怕他們,因為我與你同在,要拯救你。” 我們敢於承擔這個不可能的任務嗎? 我們可以承擔不可能的任務,因為上帝是凡事都能的上帝!
During the darkDuring Judah’s darkest hours, God called a young man named Jeremiah to carry out an impossible mission: “to all whom I send you, you shall go, and whatever I command you, you shall speak.” It was a daunting task because Jeremiah was going into a hostile environment to speak the judgment of God to the nations. It must have been quite an intimidating shock to Jeremiah to receive this call for he was only a youth and was not eloquent. (v. 6) But God never sends people out and then leaves them alone. God promised Jeremiah, “Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you to deliver you.” Do we dare to take on this impossible mission? We can take on this Mission Impossible because God is God of the impossible!
