【撒下13:15】随后，暗嫩极其恨她。那恨她的心，比先前爱她的心更甚。对她说：“你起来，去吧！”【2Sa13:15】Then Amnon hated her with intense hatred. In fact, he hated her more than he had loved her. Amnon said to her, “Get up and get out!”

大卫的长子暗嫩因他心里没有神，交友不慎，又贪恋美色，带来家族的纷争和不幸。David's eldest son, Amnon, brought strife and misfortune to his family because he had no God in his heart, made careless friends, and was greedy for beauty.他为自己一时情欲的满足，一意孤行，不听劝勉，完全不管犯罪的后果，用诡诈玷污了他同父异母的妹妹他玛。He acted according to his own will, ignored advice, and completely disregarded the consequences of his crime. He used deceit to defile his half-sister Tamar.犯罪导致了他身败名裂，失去了继承王位的资格，也惹来杀身之祸。His actions led to his downfall, the loss of his right to inherit the throne, and also brought disaster upon himself.经上说：顺着情欲撒种的，必从情欲收败坏；顺着圣灵撒种的，必从圣灵收永生。The Bible says: "He who sows to his flesh will reap corruption from the flesh; but he who sows to the Spirit will reap eternal life from the Spirit."

人种的是什么，就收的就是什么。What a person sows, they will reap.暗嫩对他玛种的是眼目的情欲和肉体的情欲，这些都不是从父来的，乃是从恶者来的。Amnon sowed Tamar with the lust of the eyes and the lust of the flesh, which are not from the Father but from the evil one.撒旦来就是偷窃杀害毁坏，暗嫩私欲满足之后，反目成仇，暗嫩却极其恨他玛。那恨她的心，必先前爱她的心更甚，冷酷无情的赶走他玛。Satan comes to steal, kill, and destroy. After Amnon's lust was satisfied, he turned against her, and his hatred for Tamar became even greater than any love he might have had before. He cruelly and coldly drove her away.神的话是何等真实，人心必万物都诡诈，坏到极处，谁能识透呢？How true is God's word? The human heart is deceitful and desperately wicked. Who can understand it?

何为爱呢？主为我们舍命，我们从此就知道何为爱，What is love? The Lord gave His life for us, and from then on we know what love is.神的爱是牺牲自己成就我们，祂因爱我们，用自己的血救我们脱离罪恶，God's love is sacrificial, making us whole. Because He loves us, He shed His own blood to save us from sin.在最痛的时候祂把爱活在伤口，救我们不救祂自己，祂受鞭伤使我们得医治，祂受刑罚使我们得平安。In His most painful moments, He expressed His love through His suffering, choosing to save us rather than Himself. He was whipped so that we might be healed, and He was punished so that we could have peace.多少时候我们像暗嫩一样，心中没有真理，没有爱的根基，被罪迷惑，心地刚硬，放纵私欲，牺牲别人来成就自己，自取其辱。How many times have we been like Amnon, with no truth in our hearts, no foundation of love, deceived by sin, hardened in heart, indulging in selfish desires, sacrificing others to benefit ourselves, and bringing shame upon ourselves?

主啊，你若究察罪孽谁能站得住呢？但在你有赦免之恩，要叫人敬畏你。Lord, if You examined our sins, who could stand? But You offer the grace of forgiveness, that people might fear You.是的，既有这前车之鉴，求主带领我们谨记这教训，不敬畏神体贴肉体的后果。Yes, with this example, may the Lord help us to remember the lesson and consequences of not fearing God and living according to the flesh.求主圣灵苏醒我们的心，不再顺从肉体的败坏行你眼中看为恶的事，May the Holy Spirit awaken our hearts, so we no longer obey the corruption of the flesh or do what is evil in Your eyes.你是烈火，是轻慢不得的，你必照各人的行为报应各人。You are a consuming fire, and You cannot be mocked. You will repay each person according to their deeds.主啊，我们是你宝血重价买赎回来，理当敬畏神，尊主为大，自洁，远离恶事，得以成圣讨你的喜悦。Lord, we are redeemed by Your precious blood, and we should fear God, exalt the Lord, cleanse ourselves, stay away from evil, and be sanctified to please You. (郭姊妹Sister Guo)
