成为无私

定睛仰望为我们的信心创始成终的耶稣。(希伯来书12:2)

《圣经》说:“定睛仰望为我们的信心创始成终的耶稣。祂为了摆在前面的喜乐,就轻看羞辱,忍受了十字架的痛苦,如今已坐在上帝宝座的右边。”此时,我们不禁会想,耶稣就是终点线,我们应该定睛在祂身上,像赛跑者定睛在终点线一样。其实不然。这节经文是在敦促我们把耶稣当作我们的榜样。祂为我们的信心创始成终,不仅为我们设计了这场赛程,而且还圆满地跑完了全程。翻译为“定睛仰望耶稣”的希腊原文短语的意思是:专心致力于某物,不被任何其他事情干扰。如同那些运动健将研究冠军的影片,以期发现他们的技巧,我们研究基督时,也受激励去“查看影库”,全神贯注于每场剧幕。换句话说:“单单专心、完全地定睛那一位,祂不仅仅设计了跑程,而且完美无差地跑完。你要完全像祂那样去跑。”祂怎样生活,你也要怎样生活;祂怎样做决定,你也要怎样做决定;祂怎样顺服,你也要怎样顺服;祂怎样得天父喜悦,你也要怎样得天父的喜悦;祂怎样降服,你也要怎样降服。你想要更像耶稣吗?现在就开始少想自己一点,竭力变得无私。在一天当中,不去做任何只利己却不利人的事情。在同样的一天,通过完全无私的降服,来定睛耶稣。
