担负责任(之四)

May 18, 2024

……我对他们都有义务。(罗马书1:14)

担负责任意味着回馈你所得到的。保罗只专注于两件事情:一、使人认识基督;二、建立教会,让教会继续帮助人认识基督。保罗同时还非常认真负责:“不论是希腊人、非希腊人、智者、愚人,我对他们都有义务。所以,我也切望能将福音传给你们在罗马的人。”(罗马书1:14-15)这被称为“超越自我而活”。自私的人把他们的天赋和资源据为己有。服侍的人把自己视为上帝资产的执行者;他们知道自己没有产权,仅是代表上帝去使用它。从集中营出来以后,伊利·威塞尔(Elie Wiesel)只为一件事而活,就是回报他人。他在波士顿大学授课,并四处游历,分享人生智慧。他通常会问年轻人一个问题:“你如何对待社会赋予你的权利和义务?”在引导年轻人的时候,他尽量跟他们分享他的责任感:“我所得到的,必须传递给别人;我所拥有的知识,不能禁锢在我的头脑中;我能够学以致用,应该归功于众人。我觉得有必要回报自己所得到的,可以称之为感恩。学习就意味着承认:生活不是从我出生时才开始。在我之前,已有人捷足先登了,我是跟随他们的脚踪。”你的生活是一个故事。每天都有新的一页。因此,用你对上帝、对他人和你自己所负的责任来填满每一页。如果你这么做,最终就不至于失望。
