馬太福音第8章；路加福音7：11-17

耶穌基督的奇妙力量

耶穌展現祂大能的一個方式，是經由奇蹟般的醫治，包括讓寡婦的兒子復活。本課旨在增強你對耶穌基督的能力的信心，祂能在我們的時代和你的生活中行奇蹟。

奇蹟是「藉神的能力而產生的不凡事件。……為了要顯示奇蹟，必須有信心」（經文指南， 「奇蹟」 ，scriptures.ChurchofJesusChrist.org）。

  • 經文中記載的種種奇蹟之中，你最喜歡的是哪些？為什麼？

  • 你從這些奇蹟中，對耶穌基督有了哪些認識？

救主的一生中，行了許多奇蹟。當你在本課還有這一整週中，研讀這些奇蹟時，沉思你將如何回答以下問題：

  • 你對奇蹟有了什麼理解？

  • 關於奇蹟，你有哪些疑問？

  • 你希望神在你的生活中行哪些奇蹟？

你可以將自己的答案寫在研讀日記中。這週，在你研讀耶穌基督所行的奇蹟時，找出你問題的答案。

有個經文研讀技巧能幫助你更認識耶穌基督，那就是不單看祂做了什麼，還要透過祈禱沉思，祂的行為展現了祂什麼樣的品格。在你閱讀時，不妨問些這樣的問題「從救主所做所言中，我對於祂的動機、優先順序及特質，有了怎樣的認識？」

閱讀 路加福音7：11-17 ，找出故事中教導你關於耶穌基督的細節。舉例來說，留意 第13節 的哪些內容可以幫助你了解，祂為什麼行這個奇蹟。研讀這則記事時，不妨也觀看影片「拿因的寡婦」（2：22），影片可在ChurchofJesusChrist.org上取得。

1. Answer the following questions in your study journal:

As members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints we believe in a very personal relationship with the Savior. In reading the New Testament and the Book of Mormon I have often wondered what it must have been like to feel the Saviors touch and receive healing through his virtue. This image depicts the story found in Matthew 8 of the New Testament. The leper who approached Jesus had faith that, if willing, he could make him clean. With the simple words, “be thou clean” a life was brought from despair to hope. What must that moment have been like? The newly cleansed man, gazing into the face of the Savior of the world.

  • 從救主行這個奇蹟時的所做或所言中，你對祂的動機、優先順序及特質，有了怎樣的認識？

  • 你學到的事，如何能在你目前的生活中幫助你？

從以下奇蹟中選擇一項或多項來研讀。繼續留意你從這些記事中，對救主有哪樣的認識。

Man with an unclean spirit - ch.25-1

馬太福音8：1-4 ； 馬可福音1：40-42耶穌醫治痲瘋病人。痲瘋病人不被社會接受，因為痲瘋病是一種痛苦、會傳染，有時甚至會致命的疾病。大部分的人會避免靠近或接觸他們。

馬太福音8：5-8，13耶穌醫治百夫長的僕人。百夫長是從前羅馬軍隊中，帶領約100名士兵的指揮官。在耶穌的時代，許多猶太人憎恨羅馬士兵，因為宗教上差異，也因為士兵代表著征服了他們的羅馬帝國。

2. Choose one of the three preceding accounts. Answer the following questions in your study journal based on that account.

馬可福音5：1-13，18-20耶穌從一位住在墳墓堆裡的人身上趕出惡鬼。有個人住在墳墓堆裡，他大吼大叫並傷害自己。住在這個區域的人們用鐵鍊也綁不住他，他們便躲著他，讓他一個人住在墳墓堆裡。

從以上三則記事中選出一個。根據記事，在研讀日記中回答以下問題。

Many miracles happen every day in the work of our Church and in the lives of our members. Many of you have witnessed miracles, perhaps more than you realize.

(Dallin H. Oaks, “Miracles,” Ensign, June 2001, 6)

  • 從救主行這個奇蹟時的所做或所言中，你對祂的動機、優先順序及特質，有了怎樣的認識？

  • 你學到的事，如何能在你目前的生活中幫助你？

  • 當你覺得需要救主的幫助時，你可以怎麼做？

你有沒有想過，在現代，救主是否還會行奇蹟？雖然許多人沒有經歷過經文中記載的戲劇般奇蹟，像是分開紅海或是使死者復活，但重要的是要記住，奇蹟今日仍在發生。救主宣告「我是奇蹟之神；我要向世界證明我是昨日、今日、永遠都一樣的」（ 尼腓二書27：23 ）。

提交以下至少兩個問題的回答。

  • 救主透過祂的教會事工行了哪些奇蹟，作為復興的一部分？

  • 你或你所愛的人，曾在你們的生活中見過什麼奇蹟？

  • 這些個人的奇蹟，透露出哪些有關天父和耶穌基督的事？

不妨請學生想一想，在這堂課中他們對奇蹟的認識，有何增長。也請學生留意，主在他們生活中的神奇影響。鼓勵他們尋求來自聖靈的靈感，幫助他們找到他們對奇蹟仍有的疑問的答案。

I was asked if I would visit a woman in the hospital whose doctors had told her she was going blind and would lose her sight within a week. She asked if we would administer to her and we did so, and she states that she was miraculously healed. … I said to her, “I didn’t save your sight. Of course, the Lord saved your sight. Thank Him and be grateful to Him.”

(Teachings of Gordon B. Hinckley [1997], 343)

Official Portrait of President Dallin H. Oaks taken March 2018.

Miracles are not available for the asking. … The will of the Lord is always paramount. The priesthood of the Lord cannot be used to work a miracle contrary to the will of the Lord. We must also remember that even when a miracle is to occur, it will not occur on our desired schedule. The revelations teach that miraculous experiences occur “in his own time, and in his own way” ( D&C 88:68).

(Dallin H. Oaks, “Miracles,” Ensign, June 2001, 9)

Half-length frontal portrait of the Prophet Joseph Smith, Jr. Joseph’s head is turned to the side in a three-quarter view, right hand on hip and his left hand holds sheets of papers. He is depicted wearing a dark brown suit and a white shirt and tie.

We came to this earth that we might have a body and present it pure before God in the celestial kingdom. The great principle of happiness consists in having a body. The devil has no body, and herein is his punishment. He is pleased when he can obtain the tabernacle of man, and when cast out by the Savior he asked to go into the herd of swine, showing that he would prefer a swine’s body to having none. All beings who have bodies have power over those who have not.

(Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Joseph Smith [2007], 211)

Our Savior and Redeemer, Jesus Christ, will perform some of His mightiest works between now and when He comes again. We will see miraculous indications that God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, preside over this Church in majesty and glory.

(Russell M. Nelson, “Revelation for the Church, Revelation for Our Lives,” Ensign or Liahona, May 2018, 96)
