神啊,有何神像你,赦免罪孽……喜愛施恩。(彌7:18)
很多人出於好奇想了解聖經,他們想以自己的方式分析理解聖經的含義,對於這些人,神或許在宇宙的某處保持沉默;他會與那些願意傾聽他,接受他,並且順服他的人交流。
神教導我們要像小孩子一樣謙卑。實際上,神也常常向這些順服和謙卑的人顯現,比如向牧童大衛顯現;向曠野中施洗的約翰顯現;還有向看管羊群的牧人和一個名叫瑪利亞的人顯現。或許你會好奇神如何跟他們講話,瞎子如何看見,聾子怎麼聽見?
起初神就向人說話,亞當曾經在伊甸園聽到過耶和華對他說話。亞當有兩個兒子,分別是該隱與亞伯,神也向他們說話。該隱藐視向他顯示的神,亞伯順從耶和華的話。亞伯的回應表明,一個犯罪並且與神隔離的人,他也可以回應神的話語,因此,起初神就藉著啟示建立人和神之間溝通的橋梁。
He is Merciful/ February 24
Who is a God like unto thee . . . he delighteth in mercy.—Micah 7:18
Many people want to hear what God says just out of curiosity. They want to analyze and dissect it in their own test tubes. To these people, God may remain the great cosmic silence 「out there somewhere.」 He communicates to those who are willing to hear and receive Him, and willing to obey Him.
Jesus said that we must become humble as little children, and God has most often revealed Himself to the meek and the humble-to a shepherd boy like David, to a rough desert man like John the Baptist, to shepherds watching their flocks, to a girl named Mary. How does God speak? How can a blind man see? How can a deaf man hear?
From the beginning God spoke to man. Adam heard the voice of the Lord in the Garden of Eden. Adam had two sons, Cain and Abel, and God spoke to them. Cain spurned that which was revealed to him, but Abel was obedient to the Word of God. Abel’s response showed that a man tainted and handicapped by sin could respond to God’s overtures. Thus, in the beginning, God began by revelation to build a bridge between Himself and people.
How merciful You are, almighty God. I seek to show this same mercy.
In Jesus' name,Amen!
全能的主,你是滿有憐憫的神,我也願意像你一樣憐憫人。
奉主的名求,阿們!
