16照路加十八章四节看,那审判官多时不肯为寡妇伸冤。然后他心里说,“我虽不惧怕神,也不尊重人,只因这寡妇常常搅扰我,我就给她伸冤吧,免得她不断来缠磨我。”(4~5)接着,主说,“你们听这不义的审判官所说的。神的选民昼夜呼吁祂,祂纵然为他们忍耐着,岂不终久给他们伸冤么?我告诉你们,祂要快快地给他们伸冤了。然而,人子来的时候,在地上找得到信心么?”(6~8)主在八节的话指明,神报复我们的仇敌,乃是在救主回来的时候(路加福音生命读经,三九八至三九九页)。
16According to Luke 18:4, the judge for a time would not avenge the widow of her opponent. Then he said within himself, “Even though I do not fear God nor regard man, yet because this widow causes me trouble, I will avenge her, lest by continually coming she wear me out” (vv. 4-5). Following this, the Lord went on to say, “Hear what the unrighteous judge says. And will not God by all means carry out the avenging of His chosen ones, who cry to Him day and night, though He is long-suffering over them? I tell you that He will carry out their avenging quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?” (vv. 6-8). The Lord’s word in verse 8 indicates that God’s avenging us of our enemy will be at the Savior’s coming back.
