旧约圣经研读课程

不诚实的以撒和雅各

-- 创世记 42 章

“全家福”主日学《圣经》教材

作者: 谢德华 

一.放映电影“约瑟”(兄弟前往埃及的那部分)

 

二.挑战:约瑟面对一个问题,一个挑战:他的兄弟改变了没有?懊悔了没有?学好了功课没有?有没有一个兄弟能够当领导人,负责父亲的产业?约瑟又想知道兄弟们如何向父亲解释他的 结局。父亲认为他怎么样?兄弟如何对待父亲?弟弟长得什么样子?等问题。

 

三.让几个人以创世记第42章为剧本,演出。

 

四.约瑟可以用什么方法得知此问题的答案?譬如:

1.  诸位兄弟,你好?!你们看看!谁在这里!你们记不记得以前我做的梦?

2.  一直不介绍身份。卖粮食给他们,送他们回家。

3.  处死他们,然后,叫父亲和弟弟便雅悯下来埃及。

4.  考验他们,以便得知他们是否有改进及看清神的旨意

    1) 先介绍身份,之后才谈谈,才问问题。

    2) 把更多的人送去监狱;把少数人送回家。

    3) 作他所作的。

    4) 还有呢?   ________________________________________________________

 

五.约瑟的智慧:

 1. 目的如何?约瑟想做什么,试验他的兄弟 

 2. 约瑟不急

   3.  约瑟要考验兄弟们

   4.  约瑟懂得什么叫做 ”tough love” (对人很严格的爱;真金不怕火的爱)(别人考驾驶执照时,你希望考试严格不严格呢?你的大夫考医学执照时,你认为考试要严格一点还是简单一点?同样的道理,约瑟让他的兄弟靠“做人”时,他给他们比较严格的考验。)

    5.  约瑟的计谋没有恶意只有善意 

六.我们像不像约瑟用智慧和爱考验别人?

        请把约瑟用的这种爱应用在日常生活上,譬如:

1.孩子:什么时候要对孩子严格一点?父母要不要用”tough love” ?比方说...                                          ____________________________________________

 2.妻子和丈夫:什么时候要对配偶严格一点?妻子或丈夫要不要用”tough love” ?比方说...  ____________________________________________

 3.父母亲:什么时候要对父母严格一点?孩子要不要用”tough love” ?比方说...                                                    ______________________________________________

4.教会弟兄姐妹:什么时候要对教会弟兄姐妹严格一点?长老要不要用”tough love” ?比方说...  _______________________________________________

 5.雇员:公司和老板什么时候要对雇员严格一点?老板要不要用”tough love” ?比方说...  ____________________________________

6.其他:_______________________________________________

Dishonest Isaac & Jacob

Genesis 42

By: Edward Short©

1.(Show a few minutes of the movie “Joseph”:  Scene where his brothers come to Egypt first time)

2.Joseph faced the problem and challenge of determining whether his brothers had changed or not, repented or not, learned any lessons or not.  Had a brother turned into a leader, one able to take responsibility for their father’s inheritance?  Joseph wondered what his father had been told about himself.  What did his father think had become of him?  How did the brothers treat their father?  What was his little brother like? Many questions were on Joseph’s mind.

3.Have several people read Gen. 42 as a drama from WBTC Bible.  [WBTC gave me permission to copy their translation, edit out the “and he saids” etc, and read the text as a drama.  You too can write and ask for permission to do the same thing.  If the people who read will take it seriously, this can be a very exciting and helpful experience.]

4. How could Joseph ascertain the answers he sought?  For ex.:

   1).Hey brothers!  Lookie! Here I am!  Remember those dreams I had a few years ago?!

   2).Never reveal his identity.  Sell them food and send them on their way!

   3).Kill them.  Later bring father and Benjamin to Egypt.

   4).Test them, to find out whether they had changed and to look for God’s will in all this; e.g.:

    a). Reveal his identity first and then   talk  to them and ask all his questions.

     b.) Put more in prison and send fewer home

     c). Do exactly what he did

     d). What else could Joseph have done to test his brothers?_______________

__________________________

 

5.Joseph’s wisdom:

   1).What was Joseph’s purpose?  What did he want to do?

   2).Joseph was not in a hurry

   3).Joseph wanted to test his brothers

   4).Joseph understand the meaning of “tough love” (“Real gold fears no fire” love).(When others take a driving test, do you think their exam should be harder or easier?  When your doctor takes his medical license exam, do you want his test to be easy or hard?  In the same way, when Joseph gave his brothers an exam on “life,” he made it a difficult exam.)

    5).Joseph’s cunning test was well intentioned; there was no evil in his plan

 

6.Do we use wisdom and love to test others like Joseph did?

 

Give examples of using this kind of love:

 

 

   1). With children:  When should one be strict and use “tough love” with their children? _____________________

 

 

___________________________

 

 

   2).Husband and wife:  When should one be strict and use “tough love” with their spouse?_____________________

 

 

___________________________

 

 

   3).Parents:  When should one be strict and use “tough love” with their parents?____

 

 

___________________________

 

 

   4).Church members:  When should the elders be strict and use “tough love” with church members?________________

 

 

___________________________

 

 

   5).Employees:  When should a company or the boss be strict and use “tough love” with employees?_________________

 

 

___________________________

 

 

   6).Give other examples:___________
