انجیل متی

فصل یازدهم

قاصدان یحیای تعمید دهنده

(همچنین در لوقا ۷: ۱۸ - ۳۵)

۱عیسی این اوامر را به شاگردان خود داد و آنجا را ترک کرد تا در شهرهای اطراف تعلیم دهد و موعظه نماید. ۲وقتی یحیی در زندان از کارهای مسیح با خبر شد، دو نفر از شاگردان خود را نزد او فرستاده ۳پرسید: «آیا تو همان شخصی هستی که قرار است بیاید، یا ما در انتظار شخص دیگری باشیم؟» ۴عیسی در جواب گفت: «بروید و آنچه را که می بینید و می شنوید به یحیی بگویید: ۵کوران بینایی خود را باز می یابند، لنگان به راه می افتند و جذامیان پاک می گردند، کِران شنوا و مردگان زنده می شوند و به بینوایان مژده داده می شود. ۶خوشا بحال کسی که در مورد من شک نکند.»

۷در حالی که شاگردان یحیی از آنجا می رفتند عیسی دربارۀ یحیی شروع به صحبت کرد و به مردمی که در اطراف او ایستاده بودند گفت: «برای دیدن چه چیز به بیابان رفتید؟ برای تماشای نی ای که از باد می لرزد؟ ۸پس برای دیدن چه چیز رفتید؟ برای دیدن مردی که لباس ابریشمی و گرانبها پوشیده است؟ بدون شک جای چنین کسانی در قصر های سلطنتی است. ۹پس شما برای دیدن چه چیز از شهر بیرون رفتید؟ برای دیدن یک نبی؟ بلی، به شما می گویم که او از یک نبی هم بالا تر است. ۱۰او کسی است که دربارۀ وی نوشته شده است: «اینست رسول من که او را پیش روی تو می فرستم و او راه را برای آمدن تو آماده خواهد ساخت.» ۱۱بدانید که کسی بزرگتر از یحیی به دنیا نیامده است. باوجود این کوچکترین شخص در پادشاهی خدا از او بزرگتر است. ۱۲از زمان یحیای تعمید دهنده تا به امروز پادشاهی خدا مورد حملات سخت قرار گرفته و جباران برای دست یافتن به آن کوشش می نمایند. ۱۳همۀ انبیا و تورات تا ظهور یحیی دربارۀ پادشاهی خدا پیشگویی کرده اند. ۱۴اگر اینها را قبول دارید، بدانید که یحیی همان الیاس است که باید می آمد. ۱۵اگر گوش شنوا دارید بشنوید.

۱۶اما من مردمان این زمانه را به چه چیز تشبیه کنم؟ آن ها مانند کودکانی هستند که در بازار می نشینند و با صدای بلند به یکدیگر می گویند: ۱۷«ما برای شما نی زدیم، نرقصیدید! ناله کردیم، گریه نکردید!» ۱۸وقتی یحیی آمد نه می خورد و نه می نوشید، ولی همه می گفتند: «او روح ناپاک دارد!» ۱۹وقتی پسر انسان آمد که می خورَد و می نوشد مردم می گویند: «ببینید، او یک آدم پُر خور، میگسار و دوست جزیه گیران و گناهکاران است!» باوجود این، درستی حکمت خدا بوسیلۀ نتایج آن به ثبوت می رسد.»

شهرهایی که ایمان نیاوردند

(همچنین در لوقا ۱۰: ۱۳ - ۱۵)

۲۰آنگاه عیسی دربارۀ شهرهایی صحبت کرد که اکثر معجزات او در آن ها روی داده بود و مردم آن شهرها را به خاطر اینکه توبه نکرده بودند سرزنش نموده ۲۱گفت: «وای بر تو ای خورَزین و وای بر تو ای بیتسَیدا، اگر معجزاتی که در شما انجام شد در صور و صیدون انجام می شد مدت ها پیش از این خط بینی کشیده، خاکستر نشین می شدند و توبه می کردند. ۲۲اما بدانید که در روز قیامت برای صور و صیدون بیشتر قابل تحمل خواهد بود تا برای شما. ۲۳و اما تو ای کپرناحوم که سر به آسمان کشیده ای! به دوزخ سرنگون خواهی شد، زیرا اگر معجزاتی که در تو انجام شد در سدوم انجام می شد، آن شهر تا به امروز باقی می ماند. ۲۴اما بدان که در روز قیامت برای شهر سدوم بیشتر قابل تحمل خواهد بود تا برای تو.»

بیایید نزد من

(همچنین در لوقا ۱۰: ۲۱ - ۲۲)

۲۵در آن وقت عیسی به سخنان خود ادامه داده گفت: «ای پدر، ای خداوند آسمان و زمین، تو را سپاس می گویم که این امور را از دانایان و خردمندان پنهان داشته و به ساده دلان آشکار ساخته ای. ۲۶بلی ای پدر، خواست تو چنین بود. ۲۷پدر همه چیز را به من سپرده است و هیچ کس جز پدر، پسر را نمی شناسد و هیچ کس پدر را نمی شناسد، بجز پسر و کسانی که پسر بخواهد پدر را به ایشان بشناساند. ۲۸ای تمامی زحمتکشان و گرانباران نزد من بیایید و من به شما آرامی خواهم داد. ۲۹یوغ مرا بر خود گیرید و از من تعلیم یابید، زیرا من نرمدل و فروتن هستم و جانهای شما آرامی خواهد یافت، ۳۰زیرا یوغ من خفیف و بار من سبک است.»

Don't Trust in People (With You)
An informed and wise person trusts and relies on God. God is our creator and sustainer. Turning away from him and relying on people is the basis of sin. Human beings are mortal; they don’t last. As we were created from dust, we will return to dust. Human beings are weak and incapable of saving themselves. We don’t know the solution to life's problems. Only God is the answer to human needs. When we put our trust in him, we feel calm and at peace. A person who trusts and believes in God will be like a tree that grows by the river.

Hope in Despair

Hope in Despair (With You)
Despair brings with it sadness and depression. It is said that human beings last a maximum of 40 days without food, 4 days without water and 4 minutes without air, while without any hope we do not even last 4 seconds. Hope keeps us alive. Let us not be upset because of problems and difficulties. Rather, let us give all our concerns to God. If we leave our thoughts and worries to God, we may not be delivered from hardship, but we will certainly be free from sorrow and worries. We need to give all our cares to God.

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.

Peace With the Environment

Peace With the Environment (With You)
Love for our environment, and care for it, is a very important part of life. Proper use of natural resources--especially mines, forests, and animal life--is one of the duties of every human being on earth. Not only should we be thankful for all the things that God has created for our use, but we should also take care of them. We must not senselessly hunt animals and birds.

Peace With Our Fellow Man

Peace With Our Fellow Man (With You)
Just as a father or mother devotes themselves to serving their children, we should also be ready to dedicate ourselves to others. A Christian must love all people. Christians must love others in the same way that Christ loved us. A person who has love respects others. Someone who loves his brother or sister will protect their dignity and respect. We should always consider others better than ourselves. If we follow this simple principle, there will never be any division between us and our families.

Is God Really Not Thinking About Us? (With You)
God is omnipotent. He is omniscient and omnipresent. Whenever we say that God is not thinking about us, or God does not see us, maybe the problem is in us. The problem is in our way of life. Maybe our sins and our lifestyle have caused him to turn away from us. Wherever God seems distant and His blessings seem few, we need to look at ourselves to find the reason. It is our own sins that separate us from God.

The Lord's Supper

The Lord's Supper (With You)
In God’s new covenant with the people of Israel, he promised forgiveness and salvation to all who believe. The prophet Jeremiah had spoken about this. Jesus Christ came to fulfil that covenant and to ratify it with his blood. This is the blood of the covenant, the blood of Jesus, which was shed for many, that is, for all who believe. And when we partake of the cup of the Lord's Supper along with the bread, in a way we once again share in the suffering and death of Jesus, and remember again how he gave his life for us so that we may receive forgiveness of sins and eternal life. The blood of the Old Testament was shed only for the Jews. The blood of the new covenant, however, was shed for many, that is, for the whole world.

Only God Can Judge (With You)
The Apostle Paul warns everyone to avoid making judgments about the actions of others. How eager and hasty we are to judge others! And oh, how righteous, holy, pure, and beautiful we are in our own eyes! How wrong we are when we think that we are so wise, pure, holy, and devout, that we allow ourselves to judge the actions and thoughts of others! The truth is that by judging the actions of others, we prove one fact: we easily see the sins of others, and we are blind towards our own innumerable sins.

With the outbreak of the corona virus, rumours and gossip about Corona have increased. In the early days of the virus, wild rumours circulated from mouth to mouth. • Open the Quran and find a strand of hair in it. Boil it, then drink the water and you will be protected from the virus. Many people have done just this in hopes that the virus will not reach them. • One night news spread rapidly on social media and by phone in many parts of Afghanistan that shortly after a child was born, it spoke and told people to drink black tea so the virus would not affect them. But the fact is that none of these rumours are true. We just need to follow the instructions issued by the Ministry of Health.

Officials at the Union of Private Universities say they oppose the Ministry of Higher Education's move to introduce a new regulation that would allow private universities to take entrance exams for private universities. What the Union of Private Universities emphasizes in terms of the independence of these universities under the Constitution is accurate. However, in the last 18 years hundreds of private universities and institutes of private higher education have been established in the capital and provinces. It is clear that only a few of these institutions are actually providing the standards of higher education that they have set.

Prayer for Afghanistan

Prayer for Afghanistan (With You)
It is prayer that transforms us into people of faith and devotion. The power of prayer will never fail. We will succeed in prayer when we really expect and want what we ask for. We should not consider prayer a duty. If we do, we diminish the value of prayer and our hearts will move away from its true meaning. We should pray in the best hours of the day and consider it more important and useful than any of our daily routines. Superficial and casual prayers cause our spiritual death.

Two thousand years ago, before the bewildered eyes of man, God humbled himself and revealed his gentleness in Jesus Christ to selfish people. In other words, God was humbled at Christmas. God, who was the King of Kings, put on the garment of a beggar and came to the people of the world in Jesus, choosing the lowest possible place for his birth.

Finding Truth in the Bible and Finding Rest in Jesus

Finding Truth in the Bible and Finding Rest in Jesus (Afghan Christian Testimonies)
How the world started was a question that bothered Shoaib for years. His education and religious background could not clearly answer that question. When he started reading the Bible, he read the first verse in Genesis 1:1, which says that in the beginning, God created everything from nothing. He grew up during war and violence in Afghanistan and lived a double life. This means that for others he was a good man, husband, father and worker, but inside, he knew that he was a sinner. He could not fix that he was a sinner. It was troubling his heart and his life. He read Matthew 11:28, in which Jesus said, "all who are weary come to me and I will give you rest. Shoaib recognised that he was a weary person and could not fix his own life. He believed in Jesus as Lord and Jesus fixed his double life. Because of this, Shoaib now lives for Jesus.
