《Lent》Day 27

分享真實經歷

24 於是法利賽人第二次叫了那以前失明的人來,對他說:「你要將榮耀歸給上帝,我們知道這人是個罪人。」25 那人就回答:「他是不是個罪人,我不知道;有一件事我知道,我本來是失明的,現在我看見了。」26 他們就問他:「祂給你做了甚麼?是怎麼開了你的眼睛?」27 他回答他們:「我已經告訴你們了,你們不聽,為甚麼又要聽呢?難道你們也要作祂的門徒嗎?」28 他們就罵他:「你是祂的門徒,而我們是摩西的門徒。29 上帝對摩西說話是我們知道的,可是這個人,我們不知道祂從哪裏來。」30 那人回答,對他們說:「祂開了我的眼睛,你們竟不知道祂從哪裏來,這真是奇怪!31 我們知道上帝不聽罪人,惟有敬奉上帝、遵行祂旨意的,上帝才聽他。32 從創世以來,未曾聽見有人開了生來就失明的人的眼睛。33 這人若不是從上帝來的,甚麼也不能做。」34 他們回答他說:「你完全是生在罪中的,還要來教訓我們嗎?」於是他們把他趕出去了。(約翰福音九24-34.和修)

24 A second time they summoned the man who had been blind. “Give glory to God by telling the truth,” they said. “We know this man is a sinner.” 25 He replied, “Whether he is a sinner or not, I don’t know. One thing I do know. I was blind but now I see!” 26 Then they asked him, “What did He do to you? How did He open your eyes?” 27 He answered, “I have told you already and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you want to become His disciples too?” 28 Then they hurled insults at him and said, “You are this fellow’s disciple! We are disciples of Moses! 29 We know that God spoke to Moses, but as for this fellow, we don’t even know where He comes from.” 30 The man answered, “Now that is remarkable! You don’t know where he comes from, yet He opened my eyes. 31 We know that God does not listen to sinners. He listens to the godly person who does His will. 32 Nobody has ever heard of opening the eyes of a man born blind. 33 If this man were not from God, He could do nothing.” 34 To this they replied, “You were steeped in sin at birth; how dare you lecture us!” And they threw him out. (John 9:24-34. NIV)

分享:或許你並不知道風是怎樣形成,但卻感受到風吹的涼快;也許你從沒有學過消化系統的運作,但你卻知道食物使你飽足。很多東西是我們不能 (完全) 明白但卻能親身經歷。聖經中有一位生來瞎眼的人,蒙主醫治後,也有機會向旁人展示上帝之愛 (參約翰福音九1-41)。當鄰居問他:「你的眼睛是怎麼開的呢?」(參v.10) 他就講論主耶穌的拯救;法利賽人詢問時,他便直接告訴他們主耶穌怎樣開了他的眼睛,而且斷言說:「這人若不是從上帝來的,什麼也不能做。」(參v.33)

我們根本不能明白上帝大能的作為,也不知道該怎樣才能讓別人經歷上帝,但別人能從我們面對生命困境的經歷,清楚地看見上帝的大能。例如:處理職場或家庭問題,或是面對一場重病。我們可以積極地與人分享上帝怎樣安慰我們、帶領我們、加力量給我們,讓他們知道上帝的大能,也知道上帝的愛。那生來瞎眼的人就是如此單純地見證耶穌的作為,那怕結果如何,他只是將他真實的經歷分享出來,其餘的事情就依靠上帝吧!

反思:在你的生活中,有誰需要看見上帝?

行動:向一位朋友分享你一個經歷主的真實感受。
