Spiritual Waimai 属灵外卖： Take-Out When You Can't Get Out

让我们为即将来临的婚宴预备着装。我们今天就可以开始衣着得体，不是像时装封面上看到的那样，而是要以怜悯、恩慈、谦虚、温柔、忍耐为妆饰。为了要添加最后一抹美丽，还请追求一颗安静温柔的心。

Let us prepare our clothes for the upcoming wedding feast. Today we can begin to properly clothe ourselves not with clothes as seen on the covers of fashion magazines, but with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience, forgiveness and love. And to really add the final touch of beauty, pursue a quiet and gentle spirit. 

Ye Su Ji Du几天后就要被钉十字架，衪要完成衪的使命，成为那只逾越节的羔羊，带走这个世界的罪。法利赛人试探衪观察衪，就会发现衪无可指摘、毫无瑕疵。衪真的是逾越节最完美的羔羊。

Jesus Christ was days away from His crucifixion where He would fulfill His destiny to become the Passover lamb who takes away the sin of the world. As the Pharisees tested and observed Him, they could find no blemish, no defect in Him. He truly was the perfect Passover lamb. 

那天早上，在Ye Su去耶路撒冷的路上，祂在寻找果子。祂在无花果树上寻找，祂在圣殿寻找，都没有找到，却在相信并悔改、在shen的国里作工的罪人中找到了。如果Ye Su在一个早晨向你走来，想要找一些可爱的果子，祂能找到吗？

On that morning on His way into Jerusalem, Jesus was looking for fruit. He looked for it on the fig tree. He looked for it in the temple. He didn’t find it. But He did find it in the lives of sinners who believed and repented and got to work in the kingdom of God. If Jesus came walking up to you one morning looking for some lovely fruit, what would He find? 

无花果代表着与Shen有着亲密关系的丰盛生命。这样的生命是安全、宁静，没有恐惧的。毁坏的无花果代表着背离Shen的生命，其结局就是审判。生命如果不结属灵的果子就像无花果树不结果子一样，白白占据了花园里的土地，必定会被砍掉。

Figs represent a spiritually fruitful life that is lived in a loving relationship with God. The result is safety, peace and no fear. Destroyed figs represent a life is opposed to God and the result is judgment. A life with no spiritual fruit is like the fruitless fig tree that was just taking up space in the garden and was about to be chopped down. 

那个星期在耶路撒冷的人们跟现代世界的人们并没有什么不同。在街上，有些人知道Ye Su是谁，有些人不知道。那些认识祂的人在宣告祂的王权，和他们对祂的需要，以至于观望的人们也想要了解更多。你的生活宣告了祂的主权和你对祂的需要吗？当人们看到你时，他们会对Ye Su好奇吗？他们会想要了解更多吗？

The people in Jerusalem that week are not unlike the people of the world today. On the streets, some knew who Jesus was, others did not. Those who knew Him were proclaiming His kingship and their need for Him resulting in the onlookers wanting to know more. Does your life proclaim His kingship and your need for Him? When people see you, do they wonder about Jesus and have a desire to know more?
