今天牧师讲道解释(图1—3）：Inner corruption and outward prosecution : Thyatira the apostasy church, Revelation 2:18-29. 这是启示录里一个腐败的教会。

圣经是讨论人的腐败最多的书，犹太人把自己的腐败写在圣经里，淋漓尽致，所以圣经是本神书，否则哪个民族会把自己腐败亡国的历史写在这本一字不能改的书里？所以是普世真理，人性的真实：人的腐败若没有神的介入会越来越深，每人都一样，没有人逃出这种内心的腐败。只有认识上帝才能恢复人的生命的纯正。这个教会有一亇假先知是jezebel（耶洗别，旧约里巴力的崇拜者） 之类的女巫，把教会带入歧途。绝对的权力崇拜者，又无上帝约束，最后人会被自己的腐败毁灭，就像圣经中的耶洗别。所以人只能以圣经为生命的说明书，与主同行，才能有希望脱离腐败，脱离忧郁，脱离因为自己腐败带来的痛苦，得到的自由与平安，恢复健康，在世享主恩，在生命终点仍有希望。

Is He Worthy?

Do you feel the world is broken?

(We do)

Do you feel the shadows deepen?

(We do)

But do you know that all the dark won't

Stop the light from getting through?

(We do)

Do you wish that you could see it all made new?

We do)

Is all creation groaning?

(It is)

Is a new creation coming?

(It is)

Is the glory of the Lord to be the light within our midst?

(It is)

Is it good that we remind ourselves of this?

(It is)

Is anyone worthy? Is anyone whole?

Is anyone able to break the seal and open the scroll?

The Lion of Judah who conquered the grave

He was David's root and the Lamb who died to ransom the slave

Is He worthy? Is He worthy?

Of all blessing and honor and glory

Is He worthy of this?

He is

Does the Father truly love us?

(He does)

Does the Spirit move among us?

(He does)

And does Jesus, our Messiah hold forever those He loves?

(He does)

Does our God intend to dwell again with us?

(He does)

Is anyone worthy?

Is anyone whole?

Is anyone able to break the seal and open the scroll?

The Lion of Judah who conquered the grave

He is David's root and the Lamb who died to ransom the slave

From every people and tribe

Every nation and tongue

He has made us a kingdom and priests to God

To reign with the Son

Is He worthy? Is He worthy?

Of all blessing and honor and glory

Is He worthy? Is He worthy?

Is He worthy of this?

He is!

Is He worthy? Is He worthy?

He is!
