My listening friends, if you are just joining us, we are continuing in our study of the life of Abraham 如果你是第一次收聽這個節目的話, 我們正在講有關亞伯拉罕生平的信息 4. Today, we are going to focus on the freedom that is found in the truth. 今天我們要講的是真理中的自由 5. I read an article which stated that a poll was taken by a widely circulated magazine. 我讀到一篇文章提到由一份流通很廣的雜誌所作的調查報告, 6. The poll stated that people lie more now than they did 10 years ago. 調查報告指出現在人撒謊比十年前的多 7. And it says that 7 out of 10 people said that they were dissatisfied with the current standards of honesty. 報告還指出十個人當中有七個對現代人的誠實標準不滿意 8. "Lying is an indispensable, socially adaptive virtue. We could not survive without it." 撒謊已成為被社會接納的行為, 是不可缺少的不撒謊就無法生存 9. An article entitled... "The Truth About Lying" had the following information. 有一篇文章的標題是 : 撒謊的真相, 其中提到以下幾點 10. In the old view lying, like other issues of morality, was seen only in black and white. 從前的人對撒謊的看法, 就像其他和道德有關的事一樣, 黑白分明 11. Children were taught that all lying was bad, and "deserving of strict punishment." 人們教導孩童, 所有謊言都是不對的, 撒謊者必須受嚴厲的懲罰 12. In the new view; 然而在新的觀念中, 13. "today some lying is considered normal. 今天某些謊言被看為正常 14. In fact a child's first few lies are seen as an important step in development of self." 事實上一個孩童開始說些謊言, 是他日后自我發展的重要步驟 15. I have found some amazing statistics in the research data in another book. 我在另外一本書, 發現了一些令人驚訝的研究數據 16. It says that Most people lie. 書中提到大部份人都撒謊 17. They lie more that we have ever thought possible before the study. 他們撒謊的次數, 比我們作這研究之前所估計的要多 18. But they told us the truth about how much they lie." 但是他們卻告訴我們, 他們經常撒謊這個事實 19.

And that the poor lie more than the rich. 貧窮的撒謊比富有的多 27. The most frightening finding of all is that 2 out of 3 of the people in this survey believe there is nothing wrong with lying 最令人震驚的是, 這項統計指出每三個人中有兩個認為撒謊沒有什么大不了 28. How do we as believers in the Word of God face this epidemic... 我們相信神話語的人, 該怎么樣面對這股潮流的衝擊? 29. an epidemic which is invading the lives of Christians and entering our churches with incredible speed? 這股潮流正以驚人的速度侵入教會, 攻擊基督徒的生命 30. First, I want to tell you that lying is a stronghold. 首先我要告訴你, 撒謊就像是一股強大的勢力 31. It is like an addiction...or lust...or bitterness. 它跟癖好色慾或苦毒一樣 32. It is like... laziness...or fear... and... a host of other strongholds that invade the Christian mind. 它跟懶惰恐懼和其他侵襲基督徒思想的強大勢力一樣 33. A stronghold can only be dealt with decisively and ruthlessly... 這樣的勢力必須靠著強硬而堅定的決心去對付才成 34. not half-heartedly or by rationalizing it. 絕不能優柔寡斷或是以種種的藉口來自圓其說 35. As we continue in our series of studies from the life of Abraham... 在我們繼續來查考亞伯拉罕的生平時, 36. we are going to discover that lying was a stronghold in Abraham's life. 我們將要發現撒謊強佔了亞伯拉罕的生命 37. First of all... 首先, 38. we find Abraham and Sarah become supernaturally and miraculously younger again 我們看到亞伯拉罕和撒拉奇妙地恢復了青春 39. she becomes younger and very attractive... as she once was. 她顯得年輕又可愛動人, 就像她往日一樣 40. Obviously, this supernatural rejuvenation was given to her by the Lord... 顯然, 那是神使她變得年輕的, 41. so that she may be able to give birth to a child 這樣她才可以生兒育女 42. But as both Sarah and Abraham become younger... 但是當亞伯拉罕和撒拉同樣變得年輕了, 43. the old strongholds become manifest yet once again. 當年那股強大的惡勢力又再度顯露出來 44. Please listen carefully my friend 親愛的朋友, 請你留心聽著 45.

3 57. but before long... you go back to the old ways. 但沒多久, 你故態復萌 58. Here Abraham and Sarah go toward the Negev for a winter vacation 這一次亞伯拉罕和撒拉又遷往南地去過冬, 59. and then they decide to take a side trip to the coast of the Gaza strip to a place called Gerar. 后來他們決定繞到加沙海岸地帶附近的基拉耳去 60. There they encounter King Abimelech... 在那裡他們遇上了亞比米勒王, 61. and there Abraham falls back to his old nature and lies about Sarah. 在那裡亞伯拉罕重蹈覆輒, 再次因撒拉而撒謊 62. By now you would have thought that after the great spiritual blessings God had given him, 至此你一定以為, 亞伯拉罕得到神所賜極大的屬靈的福氣之后, 63. after all of the first hand dealings he had with the Lord, 在他與神直接的交往之后, 64. after the lessons he was given in trusting the Lord, 在他學習了信靠神的功課之后, 65. after the incredible revelations and seeing the Lord face to face, 在他獲得那不可思議的啟示和面對面與神交談之后, 66. you would have thought Abraham would have stopped being afraid. 你一定以為亞伯拉罕從此以后不會再害怕了 67. Yet... once again here... as in Egypt... years before... Abraham tries to pass Sarah off as his sister. 但是, 和多年前在埃及的時候一樣, 亞伯拉罕再次假稱撒拉是他的妹子 68. King Abimelech admires Sarah's beauty and takes her to his palace. 亞比米勒王迷戀撒拉的美貌, 就把她帶進宮裡 69. You can find this in the book of Genesis chapter 20 verse 2 你可以在創世記二十章第二節找到這樣的記載 70. There she was once again stuck in a compromising situation... 撒拉又再一次陷入身不由己的處境中, 71. a married woman captive in the harem of a man who is not her husband. 一個已婚的婦女, 落在並非她丈夫的男人手裡 72.

Unlike the earlier time when Abraham lied to pharaoh... 這跟上一次亞伯拉罕向埃及的法老王撒謊時有所不同 75. this time Abraham has reached such spiritual maturity... 這時, 亞伯拉罕在屬靈上已成熟多了, 76. that he repents immediately about his lie and even he prays for Abimelech. 他馬上為所撒的謊認罪悔改, 並且為亞比米勒禱告 77. In chapter 21 we finally see the Lord fulfilling His long expected promise. 在第二十一章所記載的經文, 我們終于看見神長久以來的應許得著應驗 78. Let s read that passage 讓我們來讀這段經文 79. Now the LORD was gracious to Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did for Sarah what he had promised. 耶和華按著先前的話眷顧撒拉, 便照他所說的給撒拉成就 80. Sarah became pregnant and bore a son to Abraham in his old age, at the very time God had promised him. 當亞伯拉罕年老的時候, 撒拉懷了孕, 到神所說的日期, 就給亞伯拉罕生了一個兒子 81.

4 82. When his son Isaac was eight days old, Abraham circumcised him, as God commanded him. 以撒生下來第八日, 亞伯拉罕照著神所吩咐的, 給以撒行了割禮 83. Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him. 他兒子以撒生的時候, 亞伯拉罕年一百歲 84. Sarah said, "God has brought me laughter, and everyone who hears about this will laugh with me." 撒拉說 : 神使我喜笑, 凡聽見的必與我一同喜笑 85. And she added, "Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? Yet I have borne him a son in his old age." (Gen 21:1 7 NIV) 又說 : 誰能預先對亞伯拉罕說, 撒拉要乳養嬰孩, 因為在年老的時候, 我給他生了一個兒子 86. My listening friends, I want you to listen very carefully 親愛的朋友, 我希望你留心聽 87. We get impatient because the Lord does not come through when and how we want him to come through. 有時因為神沒有按照我們所定的時間和方法行事, 我們就不耐煩 88. We get angry with God... because things don't go our way. 我們向神發怒, 因為事情沒讓我們稱心如意 89. We wonder off and do our thing... and try to force God to perform a miracle... when we want Him to. 我們偏行己路, 還要強迫神為我們行神蹟 90. But through it all... our faithful God holds our hand... teaches us lessons... watches over us. 縱然是這樣, 信實的神還是緊握著我們的手, 督導我們, 看顧我們 91. And on His appointed day...god keeps His promises. 當神所定的時候到了, 祂就成就祂的應許 92. Sarah's womb that has long been dead... became alive again. 撒拉已經年老不能生育了, 竟然能夠懷孕生子 93. Here God had not only demonstrated His sovereign will... 在此, 神不單彰顯祂的主權, 94. but He is preparing the world for another miraculous birth nearly 2,000 years later... 祂更是為世人預備兩千年后另一次奇妙的誕生, 95. but the later birth will be of a virgin who would deliver the Messiah. 是從童貞女而生, 那就是彌賽亞的降生 96. In Genesis 21:verses 3 to 7 we see the following 創世記二十一章第三至七節, 我們看到, 97. In obedience to the Lord's direction for the sign of the covenant Abraham circumcised Isaac on the 8th day. 亞伯拉罕遵行神的吩咐, 在以撒出生后第八天為他進行割禮, 作為立約的記號 98. In verse 8 of chapter 21 we see Isaac grew up... 二十一章第八節的經文, 我們看見以撒的成長, 99. possibly around the age of 5... 大概在他五歲左右, SECTION B 乙部 1. a big feast was held on the occasion of his weaning. 在以撒斷奶的日子, 亞伯拉罕為他大擺筵席 2. But Sarah saw that the son whom Hagar the Egyptian had borne to Abraham was mocking, 當時, 撒拉看見埃及人夏甲給亞伯拉罕所生的兒子戲笑, 3. and she said to Abraham, "Get rid of that slave woman and her son, for that slave woman's son will never share in the inheritance with my son Isaac." (Gen 21:9 10 NIV) 就對亞伯拉罕說 : 你把這使女和她兒子趕出去! 因為這使女的兒子不可與我的兒子以撒一同承受產業 4. In verse 9 Sarah notices in the midst of the festivity... past sins came to haunt them 第九節記載, 撒拉在筵席裡注意到, 過去的罪糾纏著他們 4

Abraham had thought that Ishmael was the fulfillment of God's promise 亞伯拉罕原以為以實瑪利就是神應許的實現, 11. but Isaac came along. 但是后來以撒出生了 12.
