主耶稣说:「在世上你们有苦难,但你们可以放心,我已经得胜了世界。」(约翰福音十六:三十三)。	
引言	
	世上所有人都会有苦难,并没有人可以例外。因此,我们都应该时刻做好面对苦难的准备。在我看来,最重要的准备就是要把使徒保罗关于「生、死」的两段重要论述思想清楚。保罗说:「我们活着,是为主而活;若死了,是为主而死。所以我们或活或死,总是主的人。」(罗马书十四:八)他又说:「照着我所切慕盼望的,没有一件事叫我羞愧,只要凡事放胆。无论是生,是死,总叫基督在我身上照常显大。」(腓立比书一:二十)这些,就是我们对待生与死的态度,和应该有的作为。把这些论述牢记在心里,当苦难临到时,我们就犹如有了定海神针!不会慌乱,知道自己该怎么做。
一、十年来我所经历的四次苦难		
第一次经历苦难:心脏出了大问题	
     作为一个传道人的事奉岗位,六年没有休假。二○一一年初,女儿先斩后奏,逼我们去西岸旅游。我在黄石公园雪顶上出现胸闷气喘,在回纽约的飞机上更加严重。在飞机上的一位加拿大医生确定:是心脏出了问题,嘱咐我尽快去看心脏专科医生。后经检查发现,是心脏主动脉瘤引起血管扩张,而且已达到百分之九十的危险程度。一个月后,危险程度发展到百分之九十五,必须马上做外科手术。因为血管一旦爆裂,就无可挽回了!这需要做开胸大手术。那时我已年届七十六岁,风险很大。一位总统级的外科专家为我做了十分成功的手术:切除了心脏主动脉,用人造纤维管替换,又更换了心脏两间瓣。手术后八周,我又站上了讲台。	
第二次经历苦难:脊椎神经出问题	
	二○一七年冬,突发坐骨神经痛,腰、腿和膝盖都出现剧痛,行走困难,甚至生活不能自理。家人决定要为我购买轮椅了。二○一八年六月,进入成人护理中心,开始了人生的新阶段。但我没有因此而放弃了事奉的心志。成人护理中心内有好几百人,这不是传福音的大好机会吗?我接过「爱心小组」,带领基督徒和非基督徒每周开展活动,传扬福音,受到大家欢迎(该中心的董事长和经理还参加了我们的演出)。我学习书法,抄写圣经,作品在法拉盛市图书馆展出。参加电脑学习班,不但学到了新的技能,而且受老师启发,买了多功能的苹果手錶,开始恢復运动,健康逐步好转。二○一九年三月初,我决定告别护理中心。	
第三次经历苦难:得了恶性皮肤癌
	二○二○年五月四日,正是疫情高峰期。经检验确诊,我得了恶性「鳞状皮肤癌」。该怎样面对这突发状况呢?担心害怕吗?不!要仰望主!我想到圣诗《靠主有福》,就从Youtube中选出来,在电视上播放。「要依靠主,专心靠主,在一切事上认定主,衪必指引你的路!」这些话就是对我说的!听了又听,真好!唱到我心里去了!心中有了完全的平安。五月十一日,一位专攻皮肤癌手术的外科医生为我做了手术,前后四个半小时。因为是局部麻醉,所以我一直意识清楚,心中平安。医生嘱咐我,需要一个月才可恢復。我想:「这应该不致影响事奉。」所以我保留了原有的事奉计划,没有停止在教会的服事。	
第四次经历苦难,全家都感染了新冠病毒	
这是万万没有想到的!就在那之前,我还在「彩虹团契」群中,向大家提出两项倡议:第一,除非必须不要外出,而且要在家里有适当活动;第二,不要因此而盲目乐观,万一感染了,不要讳疾忌医,要积极面对,及时就医。想不到,不久后,竟发生在我自己的家里!起因是女儿家那边部分人身体不适,女儿尚好,所以仍然来照顾我们。等到她感觉自己也有些不对劲,而立即隔离时,为时晚矣!一月廿五检测,廿七日确诊:我和师母也都已「中招」了!师母腹泻、发低烧,氧气的饱和度下降到只有大约百分之八十,昏睡不起,不吃不喝。我是肺部痛,全身酸痛乏力,嗅觉丧失,没有胃口,不能入睡,全家就靠儿子来支撑着。人本来就是脆弱而敏感的,在这种情况下,免不了东想西想。
	如果随它去想,那就越想越负面,对自己非但没有帮助,反而迷失了方向。其实,我们的信仰清楚明白地告诉我们:我们是从何而来,又归向何处?无论是生、是死,我们总是主的人。这是一个大前提,一个让我们永远可以信靠的大前提!自己要做的,就是遵从医生嘱咐吃药、休息。从小到大,我们生过很多病了,这次不过是新的,袭击重一些,时间长一些,但一切终将过去的。
	人生如航船,需要一个舵、一个锚。那就是信仰!无论什么情况,坚定信仰乃是关键所在!不要胡思乱想,而要去做一些积极事情。反正现在网路上Youtube很方便,想听、想看的应有尽有。我选听了优美的梁祝小提琴协奏曲、二泉映月,欢快活泼的土耳其进行曲……。蛮好!再去看看《五朵金花》,那是六十年前的老电影了。回想当年,自己也是二十岁出头,风华正茂。	
	而今,沧海桑田,物是人非,当年电影中那些花样年华的人们,和我一样,也该是八九十岁的老人了!然而,主救了我、主使用我,我的人生没有虚渡。我也尽可能天天坚持在家步行半个小时,不向病痛低头,保持愤发的精神状态。服药后的第四天,不发低烧了。思想起十年中的经历,「苦难是学习,是更深刻的学习」,这个感动进入我心中,决定要写出来,所以每天当一个功课去做。正是这样一些活动,陪伴着我渡过了隔离期。
	
二、在苦难中我学到了什么	
	主耶稣说:「在世上你们有苦难」这是对所有的人说的,没有人可以例外。圣经中关于苦难的教导,有三个重点:第一,苦难是神所容许的,神是知道的;第二,神让苦难临到人,是为了熬炼、拣选我们,让我们得到好处;第三,神会给人出路,搭救我们。用这些教导来对照我这十年所经历的四次苦难,我学到了功课,心胸敞亮,充满感恩!因为每一次的经历都是印证!	
	第一次苦难:二○一一年,如果不是因为去西岸旅游,登上高海拔的黄石公园雪顶和高空飞行,就不会发现我心脏主动脉即将爆裂的危险,因而让我得到及时、高标准的救治。这绝不是碰巧,而是神的怜悯!否则,我还有今天吗?这十年的生命,十年的事奉机会,就是神给我的好处。
	第二次苦难:由于坐骨神经痛、腰痛、腿痛,生活不能自理,这当然是苦难。但是,也正因为如此,我才有了进入那个几百人的大禾场,去广传福音的机会。在那里,我还学到了电脑知识,认识了苹果手錶的运动软体,重新开始步行锻练,并最终恢復了健康。神是在苦难的炉中拣选我们,测试我们,给我们成长的机会。让我懂得了「逆境也有神的美意」。	
	第三次苦难:来得突然,去得也快。从发现到康復也就两个月不到。主要让我学习什么呢?原来就是《靠主有福》那首圣诗所教导的:要依靠主,专心靠主,在一切事上认定主,祂必指引你的路。这次苦难就是神给我的一个测试。这种恶性皮肤癌是致命的(据报导,电视主持人赵忠祥就是因此去世的)。在我患病时正是疫情高峰期,所到之处几乎不见人迹。但我却得到了及时而且高标准的救治,恢復很快。虽然刀口几乎看不出来了,但《靠主有福》永留在我心中!(未完待续)	
	二○二二年四月十六日

    The mysterious cities of the dead carved into the sides of cliffs

    The ancient Lycians knew a thing or two about democracy. Two thousand years ago, the one-time rulers of modern-day Turkey’s southwestern corner had a fully functioning democratic federation that centuries later inspired America’s political structure.

    While democracies everywhere might be facing turbulent times, another Lycian legacy remains steadfastly present in the Mediterranean region they used to call home. And this one is focused almost entirely around death.

    Drive around the coast of this beautiful region and you’ll never be too far from a spectacular city of the dead – elaborate tombs carved by Lycians into the sides of cliffs overlooking towns, valleys and shorelines.

    That’s not all. Scattered throughout the countryside and towns are imposing sarcophagi that likely once held the remains of high and mighty denizens of Lycia. Indeed, they’re such a familiar sight that they’re often casually included as part of urban landscapes.

    For visitors, especially those interested in history, tracking them down is an adventure all on its own.

    While some are preserved in ticketed archaeological sites, others are free to explore — but can require Indiana Jones-level exploration skills, clambering up vertiginous hillsides, riding boats and delving into the undergrowth to find.
    A good starting place is Fethiye, a low-key port city that’s a useful jumping-off point for great beaches and attractions all along Turkey’s so-called Turquoise Coast riviera. After a day of swimming in those glorious waters, it’s worth a sunset trek to the overlooking cliffs.
