披戴基督

Oct 5, 2024

“我所做的事,信我的人也要做……”(约翰福音14:12)

读读有关耶稣的生平事迹,感觉不错。不过,当你看到某人活出祂的生活方式,这就被称为“披戴耶稣”。祂的生活方式成为了现实,而不仅仅是某个历史人物的写照。这不正是人们所追寻的吗?甘地曾经说过,如果他能遇到一个像基督那样的基督徒,他也会成为基督徒。遗憾的是,他所认识的基督徒们携带武器,奴役他及他的国人。然而,事情不必变成那样。耶稣说:“我所做的事,信我的人也要做,而且要做更大的事。”也许你在琢磨,我们怎么可能比耶稣做更大的事呢?是这样的:耶稣作为人生活在世时,一次限定在一个地方,而蒙祂救赎的子民能够在全地扩展祂的事工。那么,耶稣有什么样的心肠呢?首先,祂心存怜悯,没有定罪。你还记得那个在通奸时被捉到的女人吗?当法利赛人正想用石头打死她时,耶稣说:“你们中间谁没有罪,谁就先拿石头打她吧。”(约翰福音8:7)哇!耶稣指的是谁?法利赛人或宗教领袖?不,耶稣指的是祂自己!祂是唯一没有罪的,却没有拿石头打那女人!如果你想知道何谓“披戴基督”,就看看《圣经》所列出圣灵想要在你的生命中结的九种果子(或说像基督的品行):“仁爱、喜乐、和平、忍耐、恩慈、良善、信实、温柔、节制。”(加拉太书5:22-23)
