Timothy Keller: 我认为，作为耶稣的门徒，我们需要将福音应用到生活的方方面面，包括我们的工作和休息。在当今社会，工作压力巨大，许多人难以得到充分的休息。我们需要重新认识安息日的意义，它不仅仅是一种宗教仪式，更是一种对我们身心健康的保护。我发现，现代社会对工作的心理、社会和情感压力比以往任何时候都大，我们常常通过工作来定义自己的价值，这导致我们无法真正地放松和休息。因此，我们需要从内心深处认识到，我们的价值不是由工作决定的，而是由耶稣基督决定的。只有当我们真正地信靠耶稣，才能得到灵魂的深度安息，才能在工作中找到真正的意义和喜乐。 Timothy Keller: 我认为，安息日的真正意义在于让我们从永无止境的自我证明中解脱出来。我们常常感到需要不断地工作，不断地证明自己的价值，这使我们感到疲惫不堪。但是，通过耶稣基督，我们可以得到上帝的认可，他已经为我们完成了救赎的工作。因此，我们可以放下自我证明的重担，享受真正的安息。我建议，我们需要在内心深处进行三个方面的操练：首先，要认识到安息日是一种解放，我们的工作不能定义我们；其次，要认识到安息日是一种信靠，我们不是上帝，不需要掌控一切；最后，要认识到安息日是一种敬拜，我们需要通过敬拜来重新认识自己的身份。此外，我们还需要在外部进行五个方面的操练：增加安息日的时间，平衡安息日的时间，对安息日的时间负责，将安息日的时间注入到工作中，以及与他人建立团契。

Shownotes Transcript

Today’s sermon comes from a series on the life of Jesus described in the gospel of Luke. Luke gives us many of Jesus’ teachings on what it means to be a disciple. In short, a disciple is one who applies the gospel to absolutely every single area of life.

In Luke 6, we learn about Sabbath rest. God gives us rest from our labors – it is a gift and a blessing. It is a way of keeping us healthy and protecting us from being overwhelmed by our work. God himself modeled it for us when creating the universe. Let’s look at it more closely: Why do we need it? Where do we get it? How do we do it?

This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on March 23, 2003. Series: The Meaning of Jesus Part 2; Following Him. Scripture: Luke 6:1-11.
