神必医治 My Healer

耶和华拉法 Jehovah Rapha = “耶和华是医治” “God is Healer”
我们是透过神的名字来认识他。神也用他的名字来表明他的属性（性格）

we know our God by His Name.

Each of God's name expresses a divine character or attributes of his being.

出埃及记 Exodus 15:22-26
22 摩西领以色列人从红海往前行，到了书珥的旷野，在旷野走了三天，找不着水。23 到了玛拉，不能喝那里的水，因为水苦，所以那地名叫玛拉。24 百姓就向摩西发怨言，说，我们喝什么呢？25 摩西呼求耶和华，耶和华指示他一棵树。他把树丢在水里，水就变甜了。耶和华在那里为他们定了律例，典章，在那里试验他们，26 又说，你若留意听耶和华你神的话，又行我眼中看为正的事，留心听我的诫命，守我一切的律例，我就不将所加与埃及人的疾病加在你身上，因为我耶和华是医治你 的。
22 Then Moses led Israel from the Red Sea and they went into the Desert of Shur. For three days they traveled in the desert without finding water. 23 When they came to Marah, they could not drink its water because it was bitter.. 24 So the people grumbled against Moses, saying, "What are we to drink?" 25 Then Moses cried out to the LORD, and the LORD showed him a piece of wood. He threw it into the water, and the water became sweet.There the LORD made a decree and a law for them, and there he tested them. 26 He said, "If you listen carefully to the voice of the LORD your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep all his decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the LORD, who heals you."

在出埃及记神第一次向我们显明了他是医治的神。
In the book of Exodus, God shown us He is a God who heals.

我们来看一看这个故事：
Let us look at a story:

以色列人正带着无比兴奋的心情迎向未来，因为他们刚刚经历了在大海（红海）中间走过的大神迹。
The Israelites were excited to meet the future because they had just experienced the miracle of the parting of Red Sea.

他们心中满怀期待地再过不了多久，他们就可以到达迦南美地了。
They were very excited because they could soon reach the promised land of Canaan.

然而还不到3日，他们就发现他们行在被烈日曝晒的旷野中，而且连一条小河流也看不见，他们就快要渴死了。
But even before the third day, they realized they in a desert under the scorching sun, there wasn’t any river in sight and they were extremely thirsty.




最后，他们看见不远处有一排的棕树显示他们前面有水了，
这时他们快步跑上前去，看到了水池，他们就喝了。
Finally, they saw a row of palm trees which means there would water nearby, so they rushed forward, saw the pool of water and drank from it.

殊不知，当他们满怀希望，已经得到拯救的时候，送入口中的水尽然是苦不堪言的。

原来这是有毒的池水啊。
But when they were full of expectation, little did they know, the water was extremely bitter. This pool of water was intoxicated.

没有人能喝这水。最糟的是有许多小孩开始体力不支，晕死过去了，到处不断有哭喊和绝望的声音。
Nobody could drink the water. The worst was many children couldn’t stand it any longer and fainted. Voices of sorrow and disappointment overflowed the place.

当时的以色列人，我们可想而知，他们的失望和痛苦是何等的剧烈啊！
The Israelites, as we can imagine, were really in sorrow and really disappointed!

在圣经玛拉意表着苦水。
In the Bible, Marah means bitter water.
其实玛拉距离以琳只有六英里。只有一天的路程。
The fact is, there is only 6km from Marah to Elim. A day’s trip.

上帝的教导乃是：
God’s teaching are:
-先苦后甜
-Bitterness comes before sweetness
-不再看人，要仰望耶稣
-Do not look upon others but Jesus only
-人会使我们失望，但天父永远不会让我们失望。
-People would disappoint us but God never will.


希望到时，成为失望是比任何事都难忍受的一件事。
It was hard to bear when hope turned into disappointment.
我相信在我们的生命当中，无可否认地，充满了许许多多的失望。
为什么我们会失望呢？
I believe we can’t deny that our lives are full of disappointment.
Why does this happen?

A） 因为我们通常希望别人能满足我们的期待
A) Because we hope others could satisfy our hopes
B） 因为我们通常希望别人明白我们的感受
B) Because we hope others would understand our feelings
C） 因为我们通常希望别人能和你一样
C) Because we hope others would be the same like us

因为一次又一次的失望，在你的生命中已不知不觉开始充满了不信任，怀疑和恐惧。
Because of the timeless disappointments, we stopped trusting the others, even full of suspicion and fear.

你的生命开始形成了玛拉的苦水。当你的生命当中满是苦水的时候，
我们这个人将会变得非常消极，悲观，自闭，甚至会有自残的现象。
Your life turns into the bitter water of Marah. When your life is full of bitter water, you would turn negative, unmotivated, enclosed, even starting to self-mutilate.

当以色列人在极度的失望和惊恐当中的时候，上帝开始行动了。
When the Israelites were extremely disappointment and in great fear, God started to work.

他吩咐摩西将一个树枝丢进池水当中，那池水就变成甜的了。
He ordered Moses to throw a piece of wood into the water, then the water became sweet instantly.

也在这个时候，耶和华上帝告诉当时的以色列人说，
And at the same time, Jehovah God told the Israelites,
“我耶和华，是医治你的”
“I am the Lord, who heals you”

今天的你生命的池子，是否需要耶稣这根树枝的介入呢？
Do you need the interruption of a piece of wood, which is Jesus Christ in the pool of your life?
无论你遇到怎样的伤害或者经历多大的失望，
上帝告诉你，“我耶和华，是医治你的”
No matter how hurt or disappointed you are, God says,“I am the Lord, who heals you”

耶稣已经为你死在十字架上，他已经为你预备了拯救和医治。
Jesus had died for you on the cross, He had prepared the salvation and healing.
在赛53:5告诉我们，耶稣所受的鞭伤要使我们得医治。
Isaiah 53:3 tells us that by His wounds, we are healed.
耶稣的鞭伤不只是医治我们的疾病，也要医治我们心中所受的伤害。
Jesus’ wounds do not only heal our sicknesses, but including the wounds and hurting in our hearts.

你知道吗？ 当耶稣被鞭打的时候，最痛的不是肉体的痛，而是心中的痛。
Do you know that when Jesus was being beaten, what hurt the most wasn’t the physical pain, but the pain in His heart.
当罗马兵丁残酷无情地鞭打耶稣的时候，耶稣的心都在想。。
When the Roman soldiers landed the strip on Him, all Jesus could think of was…

他最亲近的门徒，彼得3次否认了他。。
His closest apostles, Peter denied Him for 3 times…
他最信任的门徒，犹大出卖了他。。
The apostle He trusted the most, Judah betrayed Him…
他最关心的百姓，离弃和背弃了他。。
The people He care the most, left and scorned Him.

就在他临死的那一刻，连他最爱的天父上帝都转脸不看他，
On the brink of His death, even His heavenly Father turned away from Him,
耶稣的心中不也是充满了许多的伤害和失望吗？
Didn’t His heart also filled with disappointment and hurting?

他了解你心中的感受。他要来医治你。

He understands the feelings in your heart. He wants to heal you.

现在就打开你的心，接受耶稣吧!
Open your heart now and by faith receive the healing from God and you will be healed.
