找时间歇息

Jul 27, 2024

耶稣对他们说:“你们私下跟我到僻静的地方去歇一会儿吧。”(马可福音6:31)

有一则古老的传说:使徒约翰有一只鹧鸪,他喜欢喂养照料它。一天,一位猎人来拜访他,非常吃惊地看到他在逗玩这只鸟。“你本来应该忙于传福音此等大事,结果却在这小事上寻乐,令我很惊讶。”约翰回答:“你一直都弯着你的弓吗?”猎人回答:“不,那样它就毫无用处了。除非我打猎,否则会松开绳子。”使徒点点头,说:“我也是如此。出于同样的原因,我放松大脑。”“你们私下跟我到僻静的地方去歇一会儿吧。”猜猜这句话是谁说的?耶稣,有史以来最受欢迎的人。祂为什么会这么说呢?《圣经》告诉我们:“因为当时来来往往找他们的人实在太多,他们连吃饭的时间都没有。”耶稣是我们的榜样。某年夏天,一位牧师向会众宣布他不去度假了,因为撒旦从不度假。会众有人哄笑,其他人则认为他很“属灵”。然而,有个人回家后,想看看耶稣是否持相同的态度。他发现,在耶稣三年活跃的事工中,除了每晚睡眠和安息日休息,还有十次离开人群去歇息。在接下来的主日,这人问牧师:“你是效法耶稣,还是效法魔鬼?”“休养”就是这么简单:“休息养生”,是恢复精力并培养最有价值的人际关系的时间。(英文单词用的是“recreation”意为“重新创造”。——译者注)因此,你要找时间歇息。
