Matthew 马太福音 6:9-15

• “‘Our Father in heaven,hallowed be your name,10 your kingdom come,your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.11 Give us today our daily bread.12 And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.9 “ 所以，你们祷告要这样说：‘我们在天上的父，愿人都尊你的名为圣， 10 愿你的国降临，愿你的旨意行在地上，如同行在天上。 11 我们日用的饮食，今日赐给我们。 12 免我们的债，如同我们免了人的债。

13 不叫我们遇见试探，救我们脱离凶恶 [a] 14 你们饶恕人的过犯，你们的天父也必饶恕你们的过犯。 15 你们不饶恕人的过犯，你们的天父也必不饶恕你们的过犯。。因为国度、权柄、荣耀，全是你的，直到永远。阿门。 [b]’13 And lead us not into temptation,[a]

but deliver us from the evil one.[b]”14 For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins

Mark 可 1:15(NIVUK) ‘The time has come,’ Jesus said. ‘The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!耶稣 说：“日期满了，神的国近了！你们当悔改，信福音！”

The Kingdom of God神国

Jesus’ kingdom is a spiritual kingdom. 耶稣的国度是属灵的国度He said …… ‘The coming of the kingdom of God is not something that can be observed, Here it is,” or “There it is,” because the kingdom of God is in your midst.’[a]

耶稣回答说：“神的国来到不是眼所能见的。人也不得说‘看哪，在这里！’、‘看哪，在那里！’，因为神的国就在你们心里 [a] 。”(Luke 路 17:20-21)

Mark 可 1:15(NIVUK) ‘The time has come,’ Jesus said. ‘The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!耶稣 说：“日期满了，神的国近了！你们当悔改，信福音！”

The Kingdom of God is not yet here神的国还没有来到Matthew 马太福音 6:10 your kingdom come,your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.愿你的国降临，愿你的旨意行在地上，如同行在天上。

The Kingdom is here 神国来到Matthew 马太 3:2Repent, for the Kingdom of heaven is at hand“ 天国近了，你们应当悔改！”Kingdom of God=Kingdom of heaven神国 = 天国

The Kingdom is yet to come 神的国还没有来到(Matt 太 6:10)The Kingdom is here. 神国来到 (Mark 可 1:15)

The Kingdom of God神国• It is here, yet it is coming. 神国现在就在这里，又是将会到来。• What does it means? 什么意思呢？

• King Jesus is here. The kingdom of God is here. when he came out to exercise the authority of the King, He casted out demons, healed the sick and order the nature around to do whatever he would like to do. All this shows that he is in charge of this world. 主耶稣在这里。神的国就在这里。当衪出来彰显衪的权柄的时候，衪赶鬼、医病，并命令自然界。这一切都表明衪是掌管这个世界。

This is God ‘s world. But many people are yet to acknowledge King Jesus’ authority.Hence Jesus taught us to prayer “Your kingdom come and your will be done earth as it is in heaven.” The whole world is yet to acknowledge that Jesus is the supreme king这是神的世界。但很多人都还没有承认主耶稣的权柄。 因此，耶稣教导我们祷告“你的国降临和你的旨意行在地上，如同行在天上。”全世界都还没有承认耶稣是至上的王。

Old Testament 旧约God is the King or Master over Adam/Eve, Israel and over all worldly powerful kings like the kings of Babylon, Persia, Greek and Roman.上帝是亚当 / 夏娃的主，是以色列的主，也是世界上所有国王的主，像巴比伦，波斯，希腊和罗马的君王。

When the people of Israel asked for a king to rule over them like the nations, Prophet Samuel was very upset. God said, “ They have not rejected you, they have rejected Me being their King.” (Samuel 8:6-7) 当以色列百姓要求一个国王来统治他们的时候，先知撒母耳很不高兴。神说，“他们不是厌弃你，他们是拒绝我成为他们的王。”（撒母耳 8:6-7 ） • Clearly God is their king.显然，上帝才是他们的王。

1 Samuel 8:10-17

• 10 Samuel told all the words of the LORD to the people who were asking him for a king. 11 He said, ‘This is what the king who will reign over you 。。 : he will take your sons and make them serve with his chariots and horses, 。。。 13 He will take your daughters to be perfumers and cooks and bakers. 。。。。。。 , and you yourselves will become his slaves.

撒母耳记上 8:10-17

10 撒母耳将耶和华的话都传给求他立王的百姓，说： 11 “ 管辖你们的王必这样行，他必派你们的儿子为他赶车，跟马， ..13 必取你们的女儿为他制造香膏，做饭烤饼。… 16 又必取你们的仆人婢女，健壮的少年人和你们的驴，供他的差役。 17 你们的羊群他必取十分之一，你们也必做他的仆人。

• God is a good king. He would meet their needs, bind up their wounds and protect them. He would be a good shepherd to them.上帝是个好君王。衪会满足人的需求，医治人的伤口，并且保护人。衪是一个好牧人。

New Testament 新约Jesus is king over the Jews. The Jews welcome him into Jerusalem like welcoming King David (Matt 21:8-9)耶稣是犹太人的王。犹太人欢迎耶稣进耶路撒冷，像迎接大衛王一样。（太 21:8-9 ）

When Jesus was asked, “Are you the king of the Jews.” He replied, “You have said so.”He went around casting out demons & healing the sick, raising the death, performing many miracles and so. All this demonstrates that He is the King of life n death.当有人问耶稣：“你是犹太人的王吗？”耶稣回答，“你说的是。”衪四处赶鬼和医病，使死人复活，行神迹等。这一切都表明，衪是掌管生命与死亡的王。

• Jesus is more than the King of the Jews. He is indeed the King of the entire universe. (Revelation 19:16) 耶稣是犹太人的王。衪更是全宇宙的王。 （启示录 19:16 ）

Jesus said, “Come to me all who are heavy laden. I will give you rest.” 耶稣说：一切挑重担的，到我这里来，我会让他安息。 King Jesus wants to give you rest. 耶稣想给你安息。He knew that we are restless people? 衪知道我们是没有安息的人吗？• One can live a mansion with a suicidal thought. 一个人住在豪宅里可以有自杀的想法。• A rich man can be in a home full of strife. 一个富有的人可以跟家人常常吵架。• He wants to give you the rest- the peace of mind. 衪想要给你心灵的安息 – 平安的心。

• King Jesus is able to take care of your burdens, anxieties, worries, sicknesses, brokenness, study, examination, finance, life-partners and so on. 主耶稣能够照顾你的负担，焦虑，烦恼，病痛，破碎，学习，考试，经济，伴侣等。

• How many times we didn’t trust in King Jesus to handle our troubles? 我们有多少次没有相信主耶稣能够处理我们的麻烦呢？
