撒母耳记上 24
顺服基督 撒母耳记上 24：6，10 虽然大卫有害扫罗的机会，但他没因此而害他，因为他尊重耶和华所选的受膏者。我们应学习尊重耶和华的受膏者，尊重主耶稣和祂的命令。 以弗所书 6 章 5 你们作仆人的，要惧怕战兢，用诚实的心听从你们肉身的主人，好像听从基督一般。 6 不要只在眼前事奉，像是讨人喜欢的，要像基督的仆人，从心里遵行神的旨意。 7 甘心事奉，好像服事主，不像服事人。 8 因为晓得各人所行的善事，不论是为奴的，是自主的，都必按所行的得主的赏赐 跟随大卫的人叫大卫害扫罗，但是大卫是因为听从基督，从心里遵行神的旨意，所以不想害扫罗。我们也要学习时时刻刻遵守神的旨意，而且知道我们奉献的时候不是为了讨人喜欢，而是为了要像基督的仆人。这样，我们才能在任何情况下做出正确的决定， 必按所行的得主的赏赐。 顺服权威 撒母耳记上 24：17 – 22 大卫顺服了扫罗的要求，指着耶和华向扫罗起誓，因为那是扫罗的指令。我们能够看到大卫顺从有权柄的。我们也应学习顺服权威的好榜样，但不能得罪神，所以要懂得辨别是非。 罗马书 12 章 17 不要以恶报恶，众人以为美的事，要留心去作。 18 若是能行，总要尽力与众人和睦。 19 亲爱的弟兄，不要自己伸冤，宁可让步，听凭主怒。（或作让人发怒）因为经上记着，主说，伸冤在我。我必报应。 20 所以，你的仇敌若饿了，就给他吃。若渴了，就给他喝。因为你这样行，就是把炭火堆在他的头上。 21 你不可为恶所胜，反要以善胜恶。 扫罗虽然对大卫有恶意，但是大卫对扫罗有好意。大卫顺服了基督和扫罗，也活出了…
