作基督的见证（二）To Be A Witness of Christ (2)
恩典临到需要的人 Grace revealed to those who need it (Luke 7)
一. 绝望无助的人 Helpless and Hopeless people (v.1-17)
1.人生在世常会遇到困苦危难，耶稣是医治者
There are many difficulties in our life, and Jesus is the healer
2.信心是以神为对象
Faith focuses on God as its proper object
3.信心不能离开神的恩典和怜悯
Faith is always found close to the grace and mercy of God
二. 失望困惑的人 Perplexed and weak people (v. 18-35)
1.谁是神差来的救主，必须以圣经为准
The test of who is the Messiah is the test of the Scriptures themselves
2.先知也不完全，不因主跌倒的是有福的
Prophets are not perfect, blessed are those who are not offended by Him
3.我们若存不切实的期盼，就会失望
There is a greater danger posed by the unrealistic expectations
三. 受人轻视的人 Sinners despised by others (v. 36-50)
1.敬拜是为罪人的
Sinners can worship God and worship is for sinners
2.敬拜不是要从主得到什么，乃是要爱主，给主
Worship is not concerned about receiving something from our Lord as giving
something to Him
3.心若被主占有，敬拜就不容易被拦阻
Worship is not easily hindered when our heart focuses on Jesus
