谦虚为人

May 19, 2024

……凡事要谦虚、温柔……(以弗所书4:2)

认真想想“与上帝同行”这句话。你是谁的同伴?上帝的同伴!你还能想得出比这更高的呼召吗?但是,所蒙的呼召越高,你自己必须越谦卑。保罗的呼召是世上顶级的呼召。你能想象没有他的书信,这个世界会怎么样吗?我们将不知道教会如何发挥作用,我们每天又如何活出信心。然而,保罗是这么评价自己的:“基督耶稣降世,为要拯救罪人。在罪人中我是个罪魁。”(提摩太前书1:15)如果你相信上帝呼召你成为伟人,你应该在祂面前俯伏回应。这就是《圣经》里每一位蒙上帝呼召的伟人的回应。当主的天使出现在撒迦利亚面前,说他将会有一个儿子并要给他起名“约翰”时,他就俯伏在地上,没有动弹,百姓甚至以为他死了。先知以西结说他在主的面前看到祂所赐给的异象时,俯伏在地。上帝得叫他起来,说:“人子啊,你站起来,我要对你说话。”(以西结书2:1)当启示者约翰看到耶稣站在七个教会中间,他写道:“我一看见祂,便扑倒在祂脚前,像死了一样。”(启示录1:17)自高的人,必被上帝降卑;而在上帝面前谦卑的人,必被祂擢升。谦卑并不意味着看低自己,而是较少考虑自己。
