“丢特腓之灵”

Apr 12, 2024

喜欢做领袖的丢特腓……(约翰三书9)

在电影《洛奇》中,拳手洛奇·巴布亚(Rocky Balboa)这样描述他和女朋友艾德丽(Adrienne)之间的关系:“我和她都有不足之处,但在一起便能互补不足。”不管天资多么卓越,你还是有不足。对付弱点的最好方法是什么呢?就是和在那些方面有优势的人合作。《新约圣经》中的信徒就是这么做的,结果“上帝也赐下极大的恩典给众人。”(使徒行传4:33) 那为什么我们不更多合作呢?因为“丢特腓之灵”的操控:“但喜欢做领袖的丢特腓不理会我们。……不仅如此,他还拒绝接待弟兄,并且禁止别人接待,甚至将接待的人赶出教会。”(约翰三书9-10)丢特腓想要做什么?操控!他并不是以服事为目的,而是追求自我形象。他害怕任何人挑战他。在他看来,要么是照着“我的方式”,要么“滚开”。他不要团队,只要捧场的阵容。然而,“明星们”没有安全感,他们要牢牢地抓住缰绳。问题是不能信任别人的人,最终造成别人的不信任。因为他们不能与别人合作,所以永远不会获得成功,而且在跌倒的时候,没有人能帮助他们。在某个领域,他们总是很软弱,没办法向别人获取力量,因为他们以为别人“只不过是要得到自己想得到的。”哇!就是镜子里的人在向你说这话!”别人会使你失望吗?会的。但是,相比没有帮助而言,得到帮助会使你走得更远。
