“按删除键”

要互相饶恕,正如上帝在基督里饶恕了你们一样。(以弗所书4:32)

想象一下生活在一个这样的社会:淫乱的人胸前挂个猩红的字牌(淫乱的标牌),盗贼腿上拖着系有铁球的锁链?你能想象只让你的过去界定现在的你吗?你可能会说:“那些人活该。”你真的这么想吗?耶稣说如果你看见异性就动淫念,你在心里就已经犯了通奸罪(参马太福音5:28)。令人惊讶!耶稣接着说强加于他人的审判标准也就是审判你的标准。你能遵照这个标准?(参马太福音7:1-2)上帝诚然不会对罪手软,但也不会因爱而对你放松。“因为主管教祂所爱的人。”(希伯来书12:6)祂的爱不会放弃你,因为什么都不能使我们与上帝在主基督耶稣里赐下的爱分离(参罗马书8:39)。我们对猩红字牌和铁球锁链很陌生,但很熟悉电脑。当有人伤害或惹怒我们,上帝实际上说:“饶恕他们,按删除键!”不然那辖制你心思意念和言行举止的病毒会感染你。最糟糕的是,它能使过去的记忆捆绑你。的确,饶恕是很难的。这就是耶稣让你为那些恶待你的人祷告的原因(参马太福音5:44)。饶恕某人始于为他们祷告。你可能会说:“但我需要明白他们为什么这么做。”聪明人会做愚蠢事,好人也会做坏事,误入歧途的人不知道自己在做什么。这就解释了为什么耶稣会这么祷告:“父啊,赦免他们!因为他们不知道自己在做什么。”(路加福音23:34)也许有一天你会明白,但也许你永远都不会明白。无论是哪一种情况,为了自己的缘故,你都要原谅,按删除键,继续前行!
