立于言践于行

因为主管教祂所爱的人。(希伯来书12:6)

《圣经》问:“哪有儿子不受父亲管教的呢?”答案是:“只有私生子!”我们不知道祭司以利一开始是怎么教养他的两个儿子何弗尼和非尼哈的,只是看到“因为他知道自己的儿子亵渎我,却没有制止他们。”(撒母耳记上3:13)以利在听到他儿子们的恶行后,也许这么说:“孩子们,你们不应该那么做。”他们可能这么回答:“是的,父亲。”然后,他们继续在上帝的殿中亵慢献祭者,并且与在会幕供职的妇女行淫。问题不是以利没有告诉儿子们应当做的事,而是他没有强制执行。毫无疑问,没有父母会对他们的孩子们说:“去抢银行吧。即便服刑多年也可受益。”当然不会。那些父母跟孩子们的说教很可能全都正确。许多犯人的父母也都会说得不错。然而,许多用心良苦的父母却缺少执行力。以利没有实施真理,他只是说说而已。他没有将儿子们撤职,取消他们的权利。他一边告诉他们不要行恶,一边纵容他们继续行恶。父母们,不要光说不做!如果孩子误入歧途,你却闭口不言,那么你就是在宽容自己,却牺牲他们。作为父母,你能做的,对子女最大的关爱就是在爱里管教他们。
