Topics
Father Mike Schmitz: 本集节目回顾了尼希米记第11章、以斯帖记第8章和第16章以及箴言第21篇17-20节。在尼希米记中，居住在耶路撒冷被视为一种荣誉，但留在祖先的土地上也同样重要。节目中详细列举了居住在耶路撒冷和犹大其他城镇的人们及其家族谱系，强调了血统和祖先土地的重要性。这与我们从祖先那里继承的祝福和负担相呼应，我们有自由选择是否接受它们，并塑造自己的生活。以斯帖记讲述了以斯帖如何拯救犹太人，以及亚哈随鲁王巧妙地发布了一道新法令来对抗哈曼的命令，最终导致了普珥节的设立。这个故事突显了在逆境中，勇气和对上帝的信仰的重要性。箴言21:17-20则阐述了享乐与贫穷、美酒佳肴与财富之间的关系，以及义人与恶人之间的因果报应。总而言之，本集节目探讨了我们从祖先那里继承的遗产，以及我们如何运用自由意志来做出选择，最终在神的公义中找到方向。

Chapters
Following the exile, not everyone could live in Jerusalem. Lots were cast, with one in ten chosen to reside in the holy city, while the rest remained in other towns. This division highlighted the importance of ancestral land and the complexities of lineage.
  • One in ten people were chosen to live in Jerusalem.
  • The rest lived in their ancestral lands.
  • Leaders of the people lived in Jerusalem.

Shownotes Transcript

Fr. Mike offers a brief recap of today’s chapter from Nehemiah, identifying the difference between those who were able to live in Jerusalem and those who were not. He explains the ancestral gifts that each tribe of Israel received and applies this concept to the vices and virtues of our families, as well as our freedom to adopt or reject them. Today we read from Nehemiah 11, Esther 8, 16, and Proverbs 21:17-20.
