活得有喜樂平安 楊景釗弟兄感恩見証分享(二)

我們經過的日子都在你震怒之下,我們度盡的年歲好像一聲嘆息。我們一生的年日是七十歲,若是強壯可到八十歲,但其中所矜誇的不過是勞苦愁煩;轉眼成空,我們便如飛而去。誰曉得你怒氣的權勢?誰按著你該受的敬畏曉得你的憤怒呢?求你指教我們怎樣數算自己的日子,好叫我們得著智慧的心。(詩篇九十:九至十二)		
		
	我們雖然以「白駒過隙」來形容短暫的人生,在這人生的道路上起伏不定,甚至有危機的出現。所以,不同的經歷建構出個人的人生觀、世界觀和價值觀。現今世人相信無神論可以說是佔大多數。其中最大的理由:『上帝』只是一個名詞而其實是不存在的,信上帝是不科學的迷信思維。上帝是全知和全能的創造主,如果想我們的一生活得平安喜樂,惟一的方法是謙卑下來,承認自己是一個普通人,我們得到所期望的人生。		
	放下了幾十年的聖經重拿到手中,鑒於自知年紀老邁,所以便多看些神學家、牧師和哲學家的書,藉以協助自己更加明白聖經的意義和啟示。主要在三方面:	
	● 發現聖經非常重視『關係』		
	當人的關係是成功的話,人便活得有喜樂有平安。比方說:你和你家人關係好嗎?你和你的親朋戚友關係好嗎?你和你所住的社區關係好嗎?你和你國家其他國民的關係好嗎?如果對以上的問題,你的答案都是:「好」的話,肯定你是一個「快樂人」。以上的任何一項如果答案是「否定」,你一定不是一個真正的「快樂人」。假如,一個國家的國民經常在鬥爭之中生活,大家互不信任,爾虞我詐,無論如何你這個國民肯定活得不快樂。如何處理關係所產生的各種問題,聖經提出了一個方案—愛。究竟可如何呢?經上講到當耶穌被釘在十字架正慢慢地死去時,耶穌竟然這樣說:「父阿,赦免他們,因為他們所作的,他們不曉得。」
	耶穌所寬恕那些殺死祂的人,包括祂知道他們是誰的人,亦有很多祂根本不認識的人和嘲笑祂的人甚至是看熱鬧的人。這是愛的一種,更可以說是最高層次的愛—無條件的『愛』。一種完全不為什麼而付出的愛!人與人之間最傷痛的是什麼呢?那就是仇恨!有些人一提起某君便咬牙切齒,有人更將之帶入棺材!其實每個人都明白牢記仇恨,無補於事。要消除仇恨,惟一法寶就是愛。無可否認,無條件的愛不容易做得到。不過,就將它看成一個人生目標,為達到這目標祈禱,讓上帝幫你一把。		
	● 真理的追求		
	人對真理可謂愛恨交熾。相信沒有人不想認識真理;但對於何謂真理似乎又難以分辨,尤其是現今網絡異常發達,媒體多不勝數,看似個個都學有所長,對每個話題都說得頭頭是道,但是他們說的都是真理,可以相信嗎?真是令人頭昏腦脹,更為甚者竟將他們視為權威見解,遺害之大莫以為甚!		
	整本聖經連同新舊約有三千多年的歷史,無論是讚同和反對的都大有人在,兼且有浩瀚的著作作為引證。相信上帝是創造主的人,明白聖經是上帝的話語,指引人行在正確的路上。所以當我們遇到難題時,不論是某名學者的言論,不妨以聖經所持的觀點與之相比,倘若相同或接近,你便找到可接受之理由。平時我們應多看不同的書本,無論是神學、科學、社會學、哲學……等。好讓自己的知識在各方面都多加一點,這樣對學習或評估某些言論會有很大裨益。	
	● 自由意志		
	上帝造人時,所賜與的智慧遠超地上所有的活物。雖然很多野獸的能力遠比人強,但人類的智慧所創造的武器與飛行器比諸其他活物更快更強。此外,人更有一樣珍貴的禮物,那就是「人的自由意志」。當我們走進一個原始森林裡面,會見到各種類的禽獸看來是自由地走來走去。事實上,牠們是各有地盤,即使是勇猛如獅子也不會走到別動物的範圍,因為恐有殺身之禍!又例如候鳥,牠們會飛行幾千里去避寒,其實是牠們有感應地球磁場的能力,並非是牠們按自主的能力設計的航線。原來動物的一切行為早已被上帝事先安排。		
	上帝對人是另眼相看,祂賜與人「自由意志」,讓人可以自己決定去做或不去做一件事的行為。上帝寬宏大量,連人不承認上帝的存在也容許。世上有很多的基督徒,同時亦有不少的非基督徒,但兩者的生活模式完全一樣。當人擁有了自由意志,人不再像其他活物般而成為一個「非傀儡」的個體,人的地位可以說是更靠近上帝一點。人不單止有思想,更是一個有主見的人,所以人應得到應有的尊重,所以人是一個有尊嚴的個體。	
	當然,上帝既然賜與人「自由意志」這貴重的禮物,人當然要珍而重之,同時,人切勿濫用自由,因為要承擔後果。所以,經上說:「敬畏神,謹守祂的誡命,這是人所當盡的本分,因為人所作的事,連一切隱藏的事,無論是善是惡,神都必審問。」(傳道書十二:十二至十三)		
	我們可以做的是將「神是愛」廣傳出去,不要讓仇恨成為人間隔閡,而要讓人活得平安喜樂。我們要認識真理,將上帝的話語存放在人的心中。更要明白我們都是上帝所看重,有尊嚴的個體。你我在世雖然短暫,但仍可以擁有豐盛的人生!(全文完)
	
回應主的大使命	
 緬甸聖道神學院趙家成同學蒙召感恩見證分享	
耶穌對他們說:「父憑著自己的權柄所定的時候、日期,不是你們可以知道的。但聖靈降臨在你們身上,你們就必得著能力,並要在耶路撒冷、猶太全地和撒馬利亞,直到地極,作我的見證。」(使徒行傳一:七至八)	
	在我就讀小學四年級那一年,有從臘戍來的老師到我們的教會佈道。當時有老師問會眾,他說:「將來長大了,你們的理想是什麼?要做些什麼?」有很多同學說要做個軍人,有些要做老師,有些說要做空中服務員等。而我就說:「我長大了,要像老師們一樣做一個傳道人。」
	就在那一刻,我決定了,要做一個傳道人,直到現在長大了,這個願望還在我心中。因為當時看見自己周遭,還有很多不信主的親朋戚友和弟兄姊妹。當我做了傳道人, 一定要把耶穌基督的教導和救贖福音,帶給他們。	
	後來,我中三畢業後,就直接進了「聖道神學院」,接受裝備。當走進學院之後,生命也慢慢地成長,靈命也增進了。不再像以前一樣那麼單純,只是把福音傳給周遭的人,而是要到各鄉各處傳福音。因為耶穌對門徒說:「天上地下所有的權柄都賜給我了。所以你們要去,使萬民做我的門徒,奉父、子、聖靈的名給他們施洗,凡我所吩咐你們的,都教訓他們遵守。我就常與你們同在,直到世界的末了。」(馬太福音二十八:十八至二十)基督給我們的大使命,是要把福音傳到地極,讓人做祂的門徒,這也是主耶穌給我的大使命,所以無論我在哪裏,都要傳揚祂的救贖福音。	
	我在學院幾年最深刻的感受,是我發現了自己有關懷別人的恩賜,使我可以朝著主的恩賜去侍奉神和服事人。我覺得關懷是很重要的一項,是生命與靈命的建造及培養。我最有負擔的仍然是對那些還沒有認識主的人傳福音,希望他們在有生之年,能夠認識主,不用沉淪在罪惡之中,承受永遠的痛苦,而是得到永遠的生命。求主使用我,願祂帶領和保守前面的道路。奉主耶穌基督得勝之名求,阿們。
二○二二年十一月十二日
