فصل پانزدهم

گوسفند گمشده

(همچنین در متی ۱۸: ۱۲ - ۱۴)

۱دراین اثنا جزیه گیران و خطاکاران ازدحام کرده بودند تا به سخنان او گوش دهند. ۲پیروان فرقۀ فریسی و علمای یهود غُم غُم کنان گفتند: «این مرد اشخاص بی سر و پا را با خوشرویی می پذیرد و با آنها غذا می خورد.» ۳به این جهت عیسی مَثَلی آورد و گفت: ۴«فرض کنید یکی از شما صد گوسفند داشته باشد و یکی از آن ها را گم کند، آیا نود و نُه تای دیگر را در چراگاه نمی گذارد و بدنبال آن گمشده نمی رود تا آن را پیدا کند؟ ۵و وقتی آن را پیدا کرد با خوشحالی آن را به دوش می گیرد ۶و به خانه می رود و همۀ دوستان و همسایگان را جمع می کند و می گوید: «با من خوشی کنید، گوسفند گمشدۀ خود را پیدا کرده ام.» ۷بدانید که به همان طریق برای یک گناهکار که توبه می کند در آسمان بیشتر خوشی و سُرور خواهد بود تا برای نود و نُه شخص پرهیزگار که نیازی به توبه ندارند.

سکۀ گمشده

۸و یا فرض کنید زنی ده سکۀ نقره داشته باشد و یکی را گم کند آیا چراغی روشن نمی کند و خانه را جارو نمی نماید و در هر گوشه به دنبال آن نمی گردد تا آن را پیدا کند؟ ۹و وقتی پیدا کرد همۀ دوستان و همسایگان خود را جمع می کند و می گوید: «با من خوشی کنید، پولی را که گم کرده بودم، پیدا کردم.» ۱۰به همان طریق بدانید که برای یک گناهکار که توبه می کند در میان فرشتگان خدا خوشی و سُرور خواهد بود.»

پسر گمشده

۱۱باز فرمود: «مردی بود که دو پسر داشت. ۱۲پسر کوچکتر به پدر گفت: «پدر، حصۀ مرا از دارائی خود به من بده.» پس پدر دارایی خود را بین آن دو تقسیم کرد. ۱۳چند روز بعد پسر کوچک تمام حصۀ خود را به پول نقد تبدیل کرد و رهسپار سرزمین دور دستی شد و در آنجا دارایی خود را در عیاشی به باد داد. ۱۴وقتی تمام آن را خرج کرد قحطی سختی در آن سرزمین رخ داد و او سخت دچار تنگدستی شد. ۱۵پس رفت و نوکر یکی از ملاکین آن محل شد. آن شخص او را به مزرعۀ خود فرستاد تا خوکهایش را بچراند. ۱۶او آرزو داشت شکم خود را با خوراکی که خوکها می خورند پُر کند ولی هیچکس به او چیزی نمی داد. ۱۷آخر به خود آمد و گفت: «بسیاری از مزدوران پدر من نان کافی و حتی اضافی دارند و من در اینجا نزدیک است از گرسنگی تلف شوم. ۱۸من 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. ۱۹دیگر لایق آن نیستم که پسر تو خوانده شوم. با من هم مثل یکی از نوکران خود رفتار کن.» ۲۰پس برخاست و رهسپار خانۀ پدر شد. هنوز تا خانه فاصلۀ زیادی داشت که پدرش او را دید و دلش بحال او سوخت و به طرف او دوید، دست به گردنش انداخت و به گرمی او را بوسید. ۲۱پسر گفت: «پدر، من نسبت به خدا و نسبت به تو گناه کرده ام. دیگر لایق آن نیستم که پسر تو خوانده شوم.» ۲۲اما پدر به نوکران خود گفت: «زود بروید. بهترین چپن را بیاورید و به او بپوشانید. انگشتری به انگشتش و بوت به پاهایش کنید. ۲۳گوسالۀ چاق را بیاورید و حلال کنید تا مجلس جشنی برپا کنیم، ۲۴چون این پسر من مرده بود زنده شده و گم شده بود پیدا شده است.» به این ترتیب جشن و سُرور شروع شد.

۲۵در این هنگام پسر کلانتر در مزرعه بود و وقتی باز گشت، همینکه به خانه نزدیک شد صدای رقص و موسیقی را شنید. ۲۶یکی از نوکران را صدا کرد و پرسید: «چی شده است؟» ۲۷نوکر به او گفت: «برادرت آمده و پدرت چون او را صحیح و سالم باز یافته، گوسالۀ چاق را کشته است.» ۲۸اما پسر بزرگ قهر کرد و به هیچ وجه نمی خواست به داخل بیاید پدرش بیرون آمد و به او التماس نمود. ۲۹اما او در جواب پدر گفت: «تو خوب می دانی که من در این چند سال چطور مانند یک غلام به تو خدمت کرده ام و هیچوقت از اوامر تو سرپیچی نکرده ام و تو حتی یک بزغاله هم به من ندادی تا با دوستان خود خوش بگذرانم. ۳۰اما حالا که این پسرت پیدا شده، بعد از آنکه همۀ ثروت تو را با فاحشه ها تلف کرده است برای او گوسالۀ چاق می کشی.» ۳۱پدر گفت: «پسرم، تو همیشه با من هستی و هرچه من دارم از تو است. ۳۲اما اکنون باید جشن بگیریم و خوشی کنیم، زیرا این برادر تو است که مرده 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 (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?

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.
