不可思议的爱

Nov 24, 2023

……一同领悟基督的爱是多么长阔高深。(以弗所书3:18)

医生告诉乔治·马得胜(George Matheson)他快要失明了。不可否认的是,他继续学业,并在1861年,19岁时从格拉斯哥大学毕业。当完成神学院研究生的学业时,他已完全失明。雪上加霜的是,他的未婚妻把订婚戒指退还给他,并附上一张字条:“我不能让婚姻的枷锁把我和盲人束缚在一起度过此生。”马得胜终身未婚,他破碎的心从未得到完全的医治。他成了一位大有能力和富有诗意的牧师,过着充实而振奋的生活;但偶尔也会感到孤独的痛苦,就像后来在他一个姐妹的婚礼上,婚礼仪式使他回忆起失去的爱情。为了消除痛苦,他转向上帝,从祂极大的爱中寻求安慰,并在1882年6月6日写下这些话语:“你这不肯放我走的爱,疲惫的我今息于你,我将余生还你若债,好使它在你这深海能以更为丰溢。”想一想何西阿对他妻子歌蜜那固执的爱。歌蜜从一个情人投怀于另一情人,毁了他的生活。贫困潦倒之际,她被带到了奴隶市场。猜猜是谁前往买赎她回来的?何西阿!他从来都没有解除婚约。上帝借用这个故事来描绘祂对我们坚定不移的爱。祂告诉何西阿:“像耶和华爱以色列人一样爱她。”(何西阿书3:1)上帝以不可思议的爱来爱你,你不可能因为可爱而赢得,也不可能因为失败而失去。然而,你有可能因为盲目而抗拒。千万不要!
