فصل پانزدهم

مَثَل گوسفند گمشده

(همچنان در متی ۱۸‏: ۱۰ ‏- ۱۴)

۱ در همین زمان، جزیه گیران و دیگر بدکاران دَور عیسی جمع شده بودند تا به سخنان او گوش دهند. ۲ فریسیان و علمای شریعت غُر غُر کنان گفتند: «این مرد اشخاص رانده شده را با خوشی می پذیرد و با آنها غذا می خورد.» ۳ پس عیسی یک مَثَل آورد و گفت: ۴ «اگر یکی از شما صد گوسفند داشته باشد و یکی از آنها را گم کند، چه می کند؟ آیا نود و نُه تای دیگر را در چراگاه نمی گذارد و به دنبال آن گمشده نمی رود تا آن را پیدا کند؟ ۵ وقتی گوسفند را پیدا کرد، با خوشحالی آن را به سر شانه های خود گذاشته ۶ و به خانه می برد و همۀ دوستان و همسایه گان را جمع می کند و می گوید: «با من خوشی کنید، گوسفند گمشدۀ خود را پیدا کرده ام.» ۷ بدانید، برای یک گناهکار که توبه می کند، خوشی بزرگتری در بهشت برپا خواهد شد نسبت به نود و نُه شخص پرهیزگار که نیازی به توبه ندارند.»

مَثَل سکۀ گمشده

۸ عیسی ادامه داد: «اگر زنی ده سکۀ نقره داشته باشد و یکی را گم کند، آیا چراغی روشن نمی کند و خانه را جارو کرده هر گوشۀ خانه را نمی گردد تا آن را پیدا کند؟ ۹ وقتی سکه را پیدا کرد، همۀ دوستان و همسایه گان خود را جمع می کند و می گوید: «با من خوشی کنید، پولی را که گم کرده بودم پیدا کردم.» ۱۰ به همین گونه بدانید که برای یک گناهکار که توبه می کند، فرشته گان خدا خوشی می کنند.»

مَثَل پسر گمشده

۱۱ عیسی باز گفت: «مردی بود که دو پسر داشت. ۱۲ پسر خوردتر به پدرش گفت: «پدر، سهم مرا از دارایی خود به من بده.» پس پدر دارایی خود را بین دو پسرش تقسیم کرد. ۱۳ چند روز پس از آن، پسر خوردتر سهم خود را به پول نقد تبدیل کرد و راهی سرزمین دور شد. در آنجا همۀ دارایی خود را در عیاشی بر باد داد. ۱۴ وقتی تمام آن را خرج کرد، قحطی شدید در آن سرزمین رُخ داد و او محتاج گردید. ۱۵ پس پسر رفت و نوکر یکی از مردمان آن محل شد. آن شخص او را به مزرعۀ خود فرستاد تا خوکهایش را بچراند. ۱۶ پسر آرزو داشت شکم خود را با خوراکی که خوکها می خوردند پُر کند، ولی هیچ کس به او چیزی نمی داد. ۱۷ آخر به خود آمد و گفت: «بسیاری از نوکران پدرم نان کافی، حتی اضافی دارند و من در اینجا نزدیک است از گرسنه گی بمیرم. ۱۸ پس بر می خیزم و پیش پدر خود می روم و به او می گویم: پدر، من نسبت به خدا و نسبت به تو گناه کرده ام. ۱۹ دیگر لایق آن نیستم که پسر تو گفته شوم. با من هم مانند یکی از نوکران خود رفتار کن.» ۲۰ پس برخاست و راهی خانۀ پدر شد. هنوز به خانه نرسیده بود که پدرش او را از دور دید و دلش به حال پسرش سوخت و به طرف او دوید، دست به گردنش انداخت و به گرمی او را بوسید. ۲۱ پسر گفت: «پدر، من مقابل خدا و پیش تو گناه کرده ام. دیگر لایق آن نیستم که پسر تو گفته شوم.» ۲۲ اما پدر به نوکران خود گفت: «زود بروید! بهترین چپن را بیاورید و به او بپوشانید. انگشتری به انگشتش و کفش به پاهایش کنید. ۲۳ گوسالۀ چاق را هم بیاورید و بکُشید تا جشنی برپا کنیم، ۲۴ چون این پسر من مُرده بود، ولی حالا زنده شده است. او گم شده بود، اما حالا پیدا شده است.» به این ترتیب جشن و خوشی شروع شد.

۲۵ در این هنگام پسر کلانش در مزرعه بود، وقتی بازگشت و به خانه نزدیک شد، صدای موسیقی و رقص را شنید. ۲۶ پس یکی از نوکران را صدا کرد و پرسید: «چه خبر است؟» ۲۷ نوکر به او گفت: «برادرت آمده است و پدرت چون او را صحیح و سالم باز یافته است، گوسالۀ چاق را برای او کُشته است.» ۲۸ پسر بزرگ چنان قهر شد که حتی نمی خواست به داخل بیاید. پدرش بیرون آمد و پیش او زاری کرد. ۲۹ اما او در جواب پدر گفت: «تو خوب می دانی که من در این چند سال مانند یک غلام به تو خدمت کرده ام و هیچ وقت از اوامر تو سرپیچی نکرده ام اما تو حتی یک بزغاله هم به من ندادی تا با دوستان خود جشن بگیرم. ۳۰ مگر همین که این پسرت پیدا شد، در حالی که همۀ ثروت تو را با فاحشه ها تلف کرد، با آن هم برای او گوسالۀ چاق را کُشتی.» ۳۱ پدر گفت: «پسرم، تو همیشه با من هستی و هر چه من دارم از توست. ۳۲ اما اکنون باید جشن بگیریم و خوشی کنیم، زیرا این برادر تو که مُرده بود، زنده شده است و گم شده بود، پیدا شده است.»»

Jesus Christ Saves, but How Can I Be Sure? (With You)
If people come to faith through the witness or evangelism of others, such as parents, preachers, or friends, their faith will only be become strong when they encounter Christ for themselves. We can share good news with others, but they must personally invite Christ into their lives. It is not enough to learn about Christ with our minds. If we are to have true faith, we must encounter Christ spiritually and experientially. This is what happened to the people of that Samaritan town. When they heard Christ, their hearts and souls were opened and they knew for themselves that He was the Messiah, the Saviour of the world.

Does God Judge Us?

Does God Judge Us? (Healing Cries)
When bad things happen, people ask questions like: Why did this happen? Why is our country so damaged? Why did this happen to me and my people? Is there hope for the future? What I am about to tell you now can give you hope. It will answer some of these questions. There is someone who has the answers. He is the God who created the heavens and the earth. When God wanted people on earth to know Him, He sent Jesus to earth. Jesus came and healed many people of their diseases. He performed many miracles. So that people would understand. Difficult things can happen to us at any time. Whether it is an earthquake, a storm, a famine, a disease, or any other problem, God wants us to realise our basic need. He wants us to return to Him. He wants us to repent and receive His love and mercy. He wants us to know Him. He wants us to find purpose in our lives.

The Heart of Heavenly Father

The Heart of Heavenly Father (Healing Cries)
The heart of the father is a source of forgiveness, one of the most prominent characteristics of fatherhood is forgiveness. If a person does not know about the heart of the father, he cannot forgive. Whenever someone knows the heart of the father, he is filled with his love and is able to forgive, and in it, he is free and liberated from the wounds. Forgive those who have wounded you in the presence of God, just as Mrs. Eneli, who killed her husband and two children, forgave her enemies after a while. In the Gospel of Luke, there is a story about a lost son who lost a sheep and a lost coin, which a woman cannot find without a lighted lamp and without light. We see the lost son who, surprisingly, no one is looking for him!! Because the father's forgiving heart beats for him, he brings him home. What are you, are you lost? Are you willing to forgive someone who has hurt you from the bottom of your heart?

The Invitation of Jesus Christ: Repent

The Invitation of Jesus Christ: Repent (With You)
To become a follower of Jesus Christ, the first step is to repent. To repent is not only to be sorry for our sins but also to turn away from them. True repentance from a sin means not to commit that sin again. Otherwise, our repentance is not real. By repenting, we begin a new life in Christ. Sin has separated us from God the Father, who is our creator. Jesus came into the world to save sinners and give eternal life to all who believe in him.

How Can I Become a Follower of Christ? (With You)
In order to follow Jesus Christ, we only have to accept Jesus Christ as our Savior, accept His death as the payment for all our sins, and trust Him completely and only as our Savior. Becoming a Christian is not about religious rites, going to church, or doing or not doing certain things. To become a Christian is to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and it is a personal relationship with Jesus Christ through faith that makes one a Christian.
