13彼得、安得烈、雅各和约翰并不领悟,他们在加利利海边工作谋生的时候,是在黑暗里。他们在死亡的阴影中。这就是今天光景的一幅图画。很多基督徒在河边遇见了主耶稣,并且得救了;但后来他们不在意这经历,反而在意谋生。所以他们到加利利海边去谋生。他们不知道去加利利海边谋生,就进入黑暗和死亡的阴影中。那些在大城市如洛杉矶、纽约和芝加哥奋斗谋生的人,都是在黑暗中,在死亡的境域和阴影中。赞美主,新王没有留在耶路撒冷!祂来到加利利海边,今天祂仍旧来到加利利海边,四处行走要得着我们。这次祂来不是小羔羊,乃是大光。彼得和安得烈向海里撒网时,这大光照耀在他们身上。主站在那里照耀他们时,祂也许说,“彼得、安得烈,你们在这里作什么?你们不记得我在约但河边曾遇见你们么?彼得,你不记得我如何改了你的名字么?”那天在加利利海边,大光照耀在他们身上。
13Peter, Andrew, James, and John did not realize that they were in darkness as they were working there by the Sea of Galilee to make a living. They were in the shadow of death. This is a picture of today’s situation. Many Christians met the Lord Jesus at some riverside and were saved. But later, they did not care for that experience; rather, they cared for making a living. Therefore, they went to the Sea of Galilee to earn a living. Without knowing it,…they entered into darkness and into the shadow of death. All those striving to earn a living in the large cities like Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago are in darkness and in the region and shadow of death. Praise the Lord, the new King did not remain in Jerusalem! He came to the Sea of Galilee, and He is still coming to the Sea of Galilee today, walking about the seashore seeking to catch us. This time He comes not as a little Lamb but as a great light. As Peter and Andrew were casting their nets into the sea, this great light shined upon them. As He stood there shining upon them, He might have said, “Peter and Andrew, what are you doing here? Don’t you remember that I met you by the riverside of the Jordan? Peter, don’t you recall how I changed your name?” That day by the Sea of Galilee a great light was shining upon them.
