申命記第24章——憐憫弱者,活出公義與恩慈
一、經文內容描述
申命記24章講到離婚、婚姻、借貸、欠債、工人嘅工資,以及對窮人、寄居者、孤兒寡婦嘅照顧。表面上係好多生活律例,但當中有一個好重要嘅核心:神嘅子民唔單止要守規條,更要有憐憫、公義同愛人嘅心。
本章首先講到婚姻同離婚。當時嘅社會制度同今日有很大分別,因此我哋唔應該將古代民事律例直接套用今日。不過,經文讓我哋看見,神重視婚姻關係,也關心人在婚姻破裂中所受到嘅傷害。
跟住神吩咐人不可取去窮人用作生活必需品嘅物件作抵押,亦不可扣留工人嘅工資。因為窮人可能每日都靠當日嘅工資生活。神提醒祂嘅百姓:唔可以利用別人嘅困境來剝削人。
本章最令人感動嘅一部分,就係神吩咐收割莊稼時,不可以將田角全部割盡;遺落嘅穗子、橄欖樹上剩低嘅果子、葡萄園剩低嘅葡萄,都要留畀寄居者、孤兒同寡婦。
呢個安排表明,神唔希望祂嘅百姓只顧自己豐富,而係喺自己有餘嘅時候,刻意為有需要嘅人留下空間。
因此,申命記24章提醒我哋:
蒙神祝福唔係叫我哋只享受自己所有嘅,而係叫我哋成為別人嘅祝福。
二、重要經文
申命記24:14-15
「困苦窮乏的雇工……你要給他工價……恐怕他因你求告耶和華,罪便歸你了。」
呢段經文提醒我哋,神非常看重弱勢者嘅權益。
今日無論喺工作、家庭或者教會,我哋都唔應該利用自己嘅能力、地位或者優勢去欺負別人。
神聽見受欺壓者嘅呼求。
申命記24:19
「你在田間收割莊稼,若忘下一捆,不可回去拿……要留給寄居的與孤兒寡婦。」
呢節非常有意思。
神甚至吩咐祂嘅百姓,故意留下一部分畀有需要嘅人。
呢唔單止係「施捨」,而係神將憐憫放入生活制度裡面。
今日我哋亦可以思想:
我哋嘅時間、金錢、能力、食物或者資源,有冇一些可以留出來祝福別人?
申命記24:22
「你也要記念你在埃及地作過奴僕,所以我吩咐你這樣行。」
呢句係本章一個非常重要嘅屬靈原則:
記住自己從邊度來,就會更加懂得憐憫人。
以色列人曾經喺埃及受苦,所以神叫佢哋唔好忘記自己曾經係困苦者。
對基督徒而言,我哋亦應該記住自己本來係罪人,係靠主耶穌嘅恩典得救。
當我哋記得自己曾經領受幾大嘅恩典,就比較容易用恩典去對待別人。
三、今日給基督徒的提醒
第一,唔好只顧自己。
神祝福我哋,唔係叫我哋成為一個只知道享受嘅人,而係成為別人嘅祝福。
第二,要特別關心弱小者。
孤兒、寡婦、寄居者代表當時社會中比較缺乏保障嘅人。今日我哋亦應該留意身邊孤單、貧乏、受傷或者有需要嘅人。
第三,要公平對待別人。
唔好因為自己有能力,就利用別人嘅軟弱。
第四,要記住神嘅恩典。
當我哋記得自己都係蒙恩嘅罪人,就會更加願意饒恕、憐憫同幫助別人。
禱告
親愛嘅天父,
多謝祢藉住申命記24章教導我哋,祢係一位公義、憐憫、慈愛嘅神。祢唔單止關心我哋自己嘅需要,祢亦關心身邊軟弱、有需要同受傷嘅人。
主啊,求祢赦免我哋有時只顧自己,得到祝福時容易忘記別人嘅需要。求祢將憐憫放喺我哋心裡,叫我哋願意分享自己所有嘅,成為別人嘅祝福。
求祢幫助我哋記得自己曾經都係軟弱、迷失、需要祢憐憫嘅人。多謝祢藉住主耶穌基督嘅救恩赦免我哋,將新生命賜畀我哋。
因此,求祢叫我哋唔好驕傲,唔好輕看別人;當見到有人困苦時,求祢叫我哋唔好視而不見,而係願意伸出援手。
主啊,求祢幫助我哋喺工作、家庭、教會同人際關係中,都能夠公平、誠實、有憐憫。唔好叫我哋利用別人嘅軟弱,也唔好因為利益而忽略別人嘅需要。
求祢特別眷顧一切孤單、貧乏、受傷、失望嘅人。求祢成為佢哋嘅依靠,並使用我哋成為祢安慰同供應嘅管道。
主啊,亦求祢平靜我哋煩躁紛亂嘅心。當我哋為生活、金錢、家庭或者將來憂慮時,求祢提醒我哋:祢仍然掌管一切,祢嘅恩典每日都夠我哋用。
願我哋唔單止領受祢嘅恩典,更將恩典分享出去;唔單止蒙祢祝福,更成為別人嘅祝福。
奉主耶穌基督慈愛、憐憫、信實嘅名禱告,
阿們。

Deuteronomy Chapter 24—Showing Compassion to the Vulnerable and Living Out Justice and Kindness
1. Description of the Scripture Content
Deuteronomy chapter 24 speaks of divorce, marriage, borrowing, debts, workers’ wages, and care for the poor, strangers, orphans, and widows. On the surface, there are many laws for life, but there is a very important core: God’s people must not only keep the rules, but also possess compassion, righteousness, and love for others
This chapter first discusses marriage and divorce. The social system of that time was very different from today, so we should not directly apply ancient civil laws to today. However, the scripture shows us that God values marital relationships and also cares about the harm people suffer when marriages break down.
Then God commanded that people must not take items used by the poor as collateral for their daily necessities, nor withhold workers’ wages. Because the poor may live on their daily wages. God reminds His people: do not exploit others’ difficulties
The most moving part of this chapter is that God commanded that when harvesting the crops, not all the edges of the field should be cut down; Leftover ears, leftover fruit from the olive tree, and grapes left over from the vineyard must all be left for the sojourners, orphans, and widows.
This arrangement shows that God does not want His people to focus only on their own abundance, but deliberately leaves space for those in need when they have surplus
Therefore, Deuteronomy chapter 24 reminds us:
Being blessed by God doesn’t mean we only enjoy everything we have, but rather that we become a blessing to others.
2. Important scriptures
Deuteronomy 24:14-15
“A wage of a needy and needy hired laborer…… You must pay him wages…… Otherwise, he will be guilty of calling on the Lord because of you.”
This passage reminds us that God places great importance on the rights of the vulnerable.
Today, whether at work, at home, or in church, we should not use our abilities, status, or advantages to bully others.
God hears the cries of the oppressed.
Deuteronomy 24:19
“You are harvesting crops in the field; if you forget the next sheaf, do not go back to collect it…… You must leave it to the foreigners and to orphans and widows.”
This section is very interesting.
God even commanded His people to deliberately leave a portion for those in need
This is not just about ‘charity,’ but about God incorporating mercy into the way of life.
Today, we can also reflect:
Is there any of our time, money, ability, food, or resources we can set aside to bless others?
Deuteronomy 24:22
“Remember that you were a slave in Egypt, so I commanded you to do so.”
This sentence is a very important spiritual principle in this chapter:
Remembering where you come from will help you better understand compassion for others.
The Israelites suffered in Egypt, so God told them not to forget that they were once sufferers.
For Christians, we should also remember that we were sinners and were saved by the grace of the Lord Jesus.
When we remember how much grace we have received, it becomes easier to treat others with grace.
3. Today’s reminder for Christians
First, don’t just focus on yourself.
God blesses us not by becoming people who only know how to enjoy, but by becoming blessings to others
Second, special attention should be paid to the vulnerable.
Orphans, widows, and sojourners represented those in society at the time who lacked security. Today, we should also pay attention to those around us who are lonely, poor, injured, or in need
Third, treat others fairly.
Don’t take advantage of others’ weaknesses just because you have the ability
Fourth, remember God’s grace.
When we remember that we are also sinners who have received grace, we become more willing to forgive, show compassion, and help others
Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank You for teaching us through Deuteronomy 24 that You are a God of justice, mercy, and love. You care not only about our own needs, but also about those around us who are weak, needy, and hurt.
Lord, forgive us for sometimes focusing only on ourselves and easily forgetting others’ needs when we receive blessings. Please place mercy in our hearts, so that we may be willing to share all we have and become a blessing to others.
Help us remember that we were once weak, lost, and in need of Your mercy. Thank You, through the salvation of the Lord Jesus Christ, for forgiving us and giving us new life.
Therefore, please tell us not to be arrogant or look down on others; When we see someone in distress, please ask us not to turn a blind eye, but to be willing to reach out and help.
Lord, please help us to be fair, honest, and merciful in our work, family, church, and relationships. Don’t let us take advantage of others’ weaknesses, nor let us ignore their needs for personal gain.
Please especially have special care on all those who are lonely, poor, wounded, and disappointed. Be their support and use us to be Your source of comfort and provision.
Lord, please also calm our restless and chaotic hearts. When we worry about life, money, family, or the future, please remind us: You are still in control, and Your grace is enough for us every day.
I pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ in love, mercy, and faithfulness,
Amen.
