البشارة كما دوّنها متى 9

He who gathers crops in summer is a prudent son, but he who sleeps during harvest is a disgraceful son.

The season of harvest is a time of gratitude, reflection, and abundance. For farmers, it signifies the end of a season of hard work, when crops are gathered, and the fruits of labor are celebrated. Spiritually, it reminds us of God’s faithfulness and the importance of sowing seeds of righteousness in our lives. The Bible speaks of harvest not just as an agricultural event but as a symbol of spiritual growth, provision, and God’s blessings.

Here are seven Bible verses that reflect the beauty, meaning, and significance of harvest time:

1. Galatians 6:9
“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”

Just as the harvest comes after a season of hard labor, our spiritual harvest will come if we remain steadfast in our efforts to live righteously. God’s timing is perfect, and we must trust that our diligence will bear fruit.

2. Matthew 9:37-38
“Then he said to his disciples, ‘The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.’”

Here, Jesus calls on us to be workers in this field, sharing the good news of salvation and helping to bring others into the kingdom of God. Harvest time is not just about receiving but also giving — sharing God’s love with the world.

3. Psalm 126:5-6
“Those who sow with tears will reap with songs of joy. Those who go out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with them.”

We may endure seasons of sorrow, but God promises that those who faithfully sow, even through hardship, will one day reap a harvest of joy. There is hope in the midst of trials, and the harvest will be a time of celebration.

4. Proverbs 10:5
“He who gathers crops in summer is a prudent son, but he who sleeps during harvest is a disgraceful son.”

Just as a farmer must be attentive during the harvest to gather his crops, we must be alert and ready to seize the spiritual opportunities that God places before us. Laziness and neglect lead to missed blessings, but diligence ensures that we reap the benefits of our labor.

5. 2 Corinthians 9:10
“Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness.”

God is the provider of all things, and He ensures that those who sow will have what they need to reap a harvest. Not only does He provide materially, but He also increases the harvest of righteousness in our lives, enabling us to grow in character, faith, and good works. Our trust in God’s provision is important to experiencing His abundance.

6. James 3:18
“Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness.”

When we sow seeds of peace and righteousness, we reap a harvest of goodness and integrity. Just as the farmer carefully chooses what to plant, we must be mindful of the seeds we sow in our relationships and daily actions.

7. John 4:35
“Don’t you have a saying, ‘It’s still four months until harvest’? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest.”

The time for action is now, not later. The fields are ripe, and God is calling us to step into His work, sharing His love and truth with those who are ready to receive it. There is an urgency in the harvest, and we are called to respond.

Conclusion

Harvest time is a powerful reminder of God’s faithfulness and the spiritual principles of sowing and reaping. Whether we are harvesting crops or gathering the fruits of our spiritual labor, we are called to trust in God’s provision and timing. As we reflect on these Bible verses, may we be inspired to continue sowing seeds of righteousness, peace, and faithfulness, knowing that in due season, we will reap a bountiful harvest.

In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.

Giving is a powerful act that reflects the heart of God and His desire for us to live generously. Throughout the Bible, we find numerous teachings that emphasize the importance and impact of giving. Whether it’s through offering our time, resources, or love, the act of giving not only blesses others but also enriches our own lives. Here are seven Bible verses that highlight the power of giving and encourage us to embrace a life of generosity.

1. Acts 20:35 “In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”

When we give to others, especially those in need, we are not only helping them but also experiencing the joy and fulfillment that comes from generosity. It reminds us that true happiness is found in selflessness.

2. 2 Corinthians 9:6-7 “Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”

The emphasis on giving cheerfully reminds us that our attitude matters. God values a heart that gives freely and joyfully, knowing that our contributions can lead to abundant blessings.

3. Proverbs 11:25 “A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.”

Generosity is not just about meeting the needs of others; it also brings personal renewal and prosperity. When we give, we often receive in return, not necessarily in material wealth, but in spiritual and emotional well-being. The act of giving refreshes both the giver and the recipient.

4. Luke 6:38 “Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”

Jesus emphasizes the abundance that comes from giving. The imagery of a generous measure being returned to us illustrates that our giving will not go unnoticed or unrewarded. When we give with an open heart, we can expect God’s blessings to overflow in our lives.

5. Matthew 6:3-4 “But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.”

We should give quietly and humbly, without seeking recognition or praise. The focus is on the sincerity and purity of our giving. God sees our acts of kindness, even when they are done in secret, and He will reward us accordingly. It reminds us that true giving is done for the benefit of others, not for personal glory.

6. Hebrews 13:16 “And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.”

Sharing what we have with others is a sacrifice that pleases God. This verse highlights the importance of being mindful of others’ needs and taking action to meet them. It serves as a reminder that our acts of generosity are not just good deeds; they are expressions of our faith and love for God.

7. James 1:17 “Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.”

All we have comes from God. Recognizing that every gift we receive is from Him encourages us to be generous in sharing those gifts with others. When we give, we are participating in God’s work, distributing His blessings to those around us.

Conclusion

The Bible teaches that giving is a powerful way to express our faith, love, and gratitude. These verses reveal that generosity not only impacts those we help but also enriches our own lives, bringing us closer to God and His purposes. Whether through our resources, time, or compassion, giving allows us to reflect God’s love in a tangible way, creating a ripple effect of blessings that extend far beyond what we can see. By embracing a spirit of generosity, we open ourselves up to experience the fullness of life that God desires for us.

يسوع يشفي كسيحًا

(مرقس 2‏:1‏-12، لوقا 5‏:17‏-26)

1 فركِبَ يَسوعُ القارِبَ وعَبَر البُحَيْرةَ راجِعًا إلى مدينتِهِ. 2 فجاءَهُ بَعضُ النّاسِ بِكَسيحٍ مُلقًى على سَريرٍ. فلمّا رأى يَسوعُ إيمانَهُم قالَ للكَسيحِ: «تَشَجّعْ يا اَبني، مَغْفورَةٌ لكَ خَطاياكَ». 3 فقالَ بَعضُ مُعلّمي الشّريعةِ في أنفُسِهِم: «هذا الرّجُلُ يُجدّفُ!».

4 وعرَفَ يَسوعُ أفكارَهُم، فقالَ: «لماذا تَظُنّونَ السّوءَ في قُلوبِكُم؟ 5 أيّما أسهَلُ؟ أنْ يُقالَ: مغفورَةٌ لكَ خَطاياكَ، أمْ أنْ يُقالَ: قُمْ واَمشِ؟ 6 سأُريكُمْ أنّ اَبنَ الإنسانِ لَه سُلطانٌ على الأرضِ ليَغفِرَ الخطايا». وقالَ لِلكسيح: «قُمْ واَحمِلْ سَريرَكَ واَذهَبْ إلى بيتِكَ». 7 فقامَ الرّجُلُ وذهَبَ إلى بَيتِه. 8 فلمّا شاهَدَ النّاسُ ما جرَى، خافوا ومَجّدوا اللهَ الّذي أعطى البشَرَ مِثلَ هذا السّلطانِ.

يسوع يدعو متى

(مرقس 2‏:13‏-17، لوقا 5‏:27‏-32)

9 وسارَ يَسوعُ مِنْ هُناكَ، فرأى رَجُلاً جالِسًا في بَيتِ الجِبايةِ اَسمُهُ متّى. فَقالَ لَه يَسوعُ: «إتْبَعني». فقامَ وتَبِعَهُ. 10 وبَينَما يَسوعُ يأكُلُ في بَيتِ متّى، جاءَ كثيرٌ من جُباةِ الضّرائبِ والخاطِئينَ وجلَسُوا معَ يَسوعَ وتلاميذِهِ. 11 ورأى بعضُ الفَرّيسيّينَ ذلِكَ، فقالوا لتلاميذِهِ:

«لِماذا يأكُلُ مُعلّمُكُم معَ جُباةِ الضّرائبِ والخاطِئينَ؟» 12 فسَمِعَ يَسوعُ كلامَهُم، فأجابَ: «لا يَحتاجُ الأصِحّاءُ إلى طَبيبٍ، بل المَرضى. 13 فاَذهَبوا وتَعلّموا مَعنى هذِهِ الآيةِ: أُريدُ رَحمةً لا ذبيحةً. وما جِئتُ لأدعُوَ الصّالحينَ، بَلِ الخاطِئينَ».

الصوم

(مرقس 2‏:18‏-22، لوقا 5‏:33‏-39)

14 وجاءَ تلاميذُ يوحنّا المَعمَدانِ إلى يَسوعَ وقالوا لَه: «لِماذا نَصومُ نَحنُ والفرّيسيّونَ كثيرًا، وتلاميذُكَ لا يَصومونَ؟ 15 فأجابَهُم يَسوعُ: «أتَنتَظِرونَ مِنْ أهلِ العَريسِ أنْ يَحزَنوا، والعَريسُ بَينَهُم؟ لكنْ يَجيءُ وقتٌ يُرفَعُ فيهِ العَريسُ مِنْ بَينِهِم فيَصومونَ. 16 ما مِنْ أحَدٍ يَرقَعُ ثَوبًا عَتيقًا بِرُقعَةٍ مِنْ قماشٍ جَديدٍ، لأنّها تَنكَمِش فَتَنْتَزِع شَيئًا مِنَ الثّوبِ العَتيقِ فيتّسِعُ الخَرْقُ. 17 وما مِنْ أحدٍ يَضَعُ خَمْرًا جَديدةً في أوعِيَةِ جِلْدٍ عَتيقَةٍ، لِئلاّ تَنشَقّ الأوعِيَةُ فتَسيلَ الخمرُ وتَتْلَفَ الأوعِيَةُ. بل تُوضَعُ الخمرُ الجَديدةُ في أوعِيَةٍ جَديدَةٍ، فتَسلَمُ الخمرُ والأوعِيَةُ».

إحياء صبية وشفاء اَمرأة لمست ثوب يسوع

(مرقس 5‏:21‏-43، لوقا 8‏:40‏-56)

18 وبَينَما هوَ يَتكلّمُ، دَنا مِنهُ رَئيسٌ يَهوديّ وسجَدَ لَه وقالَ: «الآنَ ماتَتِ اَبنَتي. تَعالَ وضَعْ يدَكَ علَيها فتَحيا». 19 فقامَ يَسوعُ وتَبِعَهُ معَ تلاميذِهِ. 20 وكانَت هُناكَ اَمرأةٌ مُصابةٌ بنَزْفِ الدّمِ مِن اَثنتَي عَشْرَةَ سنَةً، فدَنَتْ مِنْ خَلفِ يَسوعَ ولَمَستْ طَرَفَ ثوبِهِ، 21 لأنّها قالَت في نَفسِها: «يكفي أنْ ألمُسَ ثوبَهُ لأُشفى». 22 فاَلتَفَت يَسوعُ فَرآها وقالَ: «ثِقي يا اَبنَتي، إيمانُكِ شَفاكِ». فشُفِيَتِ المَرأةُ مِنْ تِلكَ السّاعَةِ.

23 ولمّا وصَلَ يَسوعُ إلى بَيتِ الرئيسِ اليهوديّ رأى الندّابينَ والنّاسَ في اَضطرابٍ، 24 فقالَ: «إخرُجوا! ما ماتَتِ الصّبيّةُ، لكنّها نائمةٌ!» فضَحِكوا علَيهِ. 25 وبَعدَما أخْرَجَ النّاسَ، دخَلَ وأخَذَ بيَدِ الصّبيةِ فقامَتْ. 26 واَنتشرَ الخبَرُ في تِلكَ الأنحاءِ كُلّها.

يسوع يشفي أعميين

27 وسارَ يَسوعُ مِنْ هُناكَ، فتَبِعَهُ أعمَيانِ يَصيحانِ: «اَرْحَمْنا، يا اَبنَ داودَ!» 28 ولمّا دخَلَ البَيتَ، دَنا مِنهُ الأعمَيانِ. فقالَ لهُما يَسوعُ: «أتؤمنانِ بأنّي قادِرٌ على ذلِكَ؟» فأجابا: «نَعَم، يا سيّدُ!» 29 فلمَسَ يَسوعُ أعيُنَهُما وقالَ: «فليكُنْ لكُما على قَدْرِ إيمانِكُما». 30 فاَنفَتَحَتْ أعيُنُهُما. وأنذرَهُما يَسوعُ فقالَ: «إيّاكُما أن يَعلَمَ أحدٌ!» 31 ولكنّهُما خَرَجا ونَشرا الخبَرَ في تِلكَ الأنحاءِ كُلّها.

يسوع يشفي أخرس

32 ولمّا خرَجَ الأعميانِ، جاءَهُ بَعضُ النّاسِ بأخرسَ، فيهِ شَيطانٌ. 33 فلمّا طَرَدَ يَسوعُ الشّيطانَ، تكلّمَ الأخرسُ. فتعَجّبَ الجُموعُ وقالوا: «ما رأينا مِثلَ هذا في إِسرائيلَ!» 34 ولكنّ الفَرّيسيّينَ قالوا: «برئيسِ الشّياطينِ يَطرُدُ الشّياطينَ!»

يسوع يشفق على الناس

35 وطافَ يَسوعُ في جميعِ المُدُنِ والقُرى يُعلّمُ في المجامِعِ ويُعلِنُ بِشارةَ المَلكوتِ ويَشفي النّاسَ مِنْ كُلّ مَرَضٍ وَداءٍ. 36 ولمّا رأى الجُموعَ اَمتلأ قَلبُهُ بالشّفَقَةِ علَيهِم، لأنّهُم كانوا بائِسينَ مُشتّتينَ مِثلَ غنَمٍ لا راعِيَ لها. 37 فقالَ لِتَلاميذِهِ: «الحَصادُ كثيرٌ، ولكنّ العُمّالَ قَليلونَ. 38 فاَطلُبوا مِنْ رَبّ الحَصادِ أنْ يُرسِلَ عُمّالاً إلى حَصادِهِ».
