•53既渡过去，来到革尼撒勒地方，就靠了岸。54一下船，众人认得是耶稣，55就跑遍那一带地方，听见他在何处，便将有病的人用褥子抬到那里。56凡耶稣所到的地方，或村中、或城里、或乡间，他们都将病人放在街市上，求耶稣只容他们摸他的衣裳䍁子，凡摸着的人就都好了。
对耶稣来说，这是漫长的一天。这一天一开始，他听到了表弟施洗约翰被斩首的消息。随后，耶稣独自去和门徒们在一起，而众人却跟着他，不给他们休息的时间。耶稣一整天都教导他们，并且在晚上行神迹喂饱了五千人。随后，耶稣独自上山去祷告。门徒顶著风在海里划船，耶稣就在水面上走到他们那里。当耶稣和门徒刚下船，就被当地人认出来了，耶稣继续对人们的需求做出回应。他没有变得不耐烦。他没有发脾气。甚至这一天到晚他都没有休息，耶稣也没有动摇过，他活出了完美的生命中。
但这一天只能算是耶稣生命中倒数第二漫长的一天，还有一天是最漫长的。那一天开始于耶稣和他的门徒一同庆祝逾越节。那一天结束于耶稣被门徒被门徒出卖，以及被犹太公会审判。耶稣那天晚上或许也没有休息。第二天早晨，耶稣又被拉到公会面前受审，随后又被送到彼拉多、希律面前，最后又送到彼拉多那里。最后，他们把耶稣钉在十字架上，并且一直嘲笑他。尽管如此，甚至在耶稣为世人的罪而死的那一天，他也从未发过脾气。对于那些毁谤他的人，他从未说过无礼的话。他自始至终都是神完美的儿子。
有时候，我们坐下来仰慕耶稣为我们所做的一切，非常美好。我们对他完美无瑕的生活感到惊奇。我们对他的耐心，他的无私，他的善良，他完全充满爱的一生感到惊讶。然后，最重要的是，我们相信他。
祷告:主耶稣，你是我完美的救主，你总是做对的事，从没有犯错。感谢你在上帝面前代替我，你用那完美的生命代替我有罪的生命，使我在神面前成为完美圣洁。感谢你成为我的救主和神。阿们。
Mark 6:53-6: When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret and anchored there. 54 As soon as they got out of the boat, people recognized Jesus. 55 They ran throughout that whole region and carried the sick on mats to wherever they heard he was. 56 And wherever he went—into villages, towns or countryside—they placed the sick in the marketplaces. They begged him to let them touch even the edge of his cloak, and all who touched it were healed. (NIV)
It was a long day for Jesus. It began with news that his cousin, John, had been beheaded. He went to be alone with his disciples, but the crowds followed him. He taught them all day and fed all five thousand miraculously. He went by himself to pray, but when his disciples were rowing against a storm, he walked to them on the water. As soon as they reached the shore, he was recognized, and he responded to the people with their needs. He didn’t become impatient. He didn’t lose his temper. Not even on a day when he pulled an all-nighter did the Son of Man falter in his perfect life.
There is one other day that would have topped this one. It began with a celebration of the Passover with his disciples. It ended with his betrayal and a trial before the Sanhedrin. I doubt if Jesus slept at all that night. He was dragged before the Sanhedrin again in the morning, and then Pilate, and Herod, and Pilate again. Finally, they crucified him, mocking him all the while. With all of that, even on that day he died for the sins of the world, he never lost his temper. He never spoke disrespectfully of those who maligned him. He was the perfect Son of God to the end.
Sometimes it is good just to sit back and admire Jesus. Wonder at his faultless life. Be amazed at his patience, his selflessness, his kindness, his perfect life of love. And then, above all, believe in him.
Prayer: Lord Jesus, you are my perfect Savior, who always did right and never did wrong. Thank you for being my substitute before God. Thank you for being my Savior and my God. Amen.
