雏鹰の觉悟

(申32:11)

啊!救命啊!
我又再跌倒了!

主啊!求求你,救救我!
对不起,我又一时软弱,一时堕落而已。。。
对不起。
我已经掉入深谷,就快跌到谷底了!
主啊!救命!现在求你救救我!
求主赐我力量,让我不再软弱跌倒。


愚蠢的雏鹰,
不断喊救命,
把手伸到最长,
盼望天使到来。。。
结果,
自己仍然坠落。

其实它那双手,
已有足够的能力使到自己不再堕落。


难道你不知道,神早已经赐你一双翅膀了?
为何你还会堕落呢?为何还像刚出生的鹰宝宝,只会长大嘴巴等待恩典?

Young Eagle

Deut 32:11
like an eagle that stirs up its nest and hovers over its young,
that spreads its wings to catch them
and carries them on its pinions.

We are the young eagle who live peacefully in a warm nest.
One day, God came and stirs up the nest...
We are falling!! from a very very high place... we falling....
below us are rocks! we will die if falling on it!
We were in a house which is so comfortable and peace... but God ruined the wall...

"Why?
Why God let these happen?
Is it the punishment of God?
I'm just indulge awhile... Just temporary weakness, God punish me like this?
I wonder, is God merciful? God is love?"
Started the curious, murmur, hate and curses over God.

Hey dude, lift up your head. Look what is above you!!! Dont just look below.
God is above you!
When you are saying that God is cruel, His great wings are above protecting you.

God is actually want you to learn how to fly.

When you are falling...God had opened His wings, using His super-sharp eyes paying full concentration on you. God is well-prepared to save you anytime when u unable to open your wings. God carries you on his pinions before you fall on ground or knocked rocks or anything....

God is loving you..
God rather get scolded, cursed, hated and murmurs...
He want us to fly! For our good.
He endure the cursing...He told Himself,"If I never strict like this, then they will never know how to fly" therefore, over and over again He drop us.

Impasse, but still have hope.
Falling, but still have life.

Even though He is tired and covered injuries, some more have to be scolded.
Yet He said : “O Lord, forgive them, as they dont know what they are doing."

Now the young eagle is flying.

the Apple of His Eye

Where did you place your beloved?
Where is your most safety place?

Deut 32:10 God guarded us as the apple of His eye.

Have you ever think of placing your beloved in your eye?
Eye is our most sensitive organ.
It will never allow even a micro-tiny dust to enter.
Nothing can harm it.
Lord our God Jesus Christ the lovely Almighty, He guarded us as the apple of His eye. He never allow any danger to harm us. He is protecting us all the time.

For those who live in His love since the day was born... like me....
Had already numb to the Love of God.
I can not be touched by the God's little love anymore.
However, God never stop loving us even though we can not feel or being move by His love anymore.
God's love is everlasting.
We are always the apple of His eye.

联想

我最近都在学《西游记》
我的讲师就常常从西游记故事中讲解佛教的教义
他有一个很有趣的观点就是:
悟空找菩萨修行而得72变等神通
耶稣也在菩萨那里修行过所以能行神迹
(如果耶稣是从菩萨那里修行回来的为什么耶稣不传佛教的信仰?而且悟空只是小说里的人物而已耶!耶稣是确实存在的!)

我很佩服他,他知识博广,联想很精。
他常把基督教融入佛教里头。他讲得头头是道,我也点头点头。
经过了三个学期听他的课,我也学到了他一点点的功力。

佛教里很出名的名句“色即是空,空即是色”
以前我听到这句时的反应是:“这什么鬼道理?为什么存在的东西是不存在的,不存在的东西是存在的?数学来讲就是 0 = 9,9 = 0 .”
可是,这位讲师的讲解让我顿时领悟到它真正的意义!

其实这句话很简单
比如我们的身体,大家都看到,身体是存在的,但是50年、80年、100年后,这个存在的身体在哪里?是不是不存在了?所以,“色即是空”。
可是,这个身体虽然是“空”的,但是,如果肚子饿了,还是要吃东西啊!所以“空即是色”。
意义就是,吃不要狂吃,因为身体怎样都会变成尘土(色即是空),但是身体饿了就要吃东西(空即是色)。
这样你领悟到它的道理了吗?
总之结论就是:适当的时候,做适当的事情。中庸节制的道理。凡事都是虚空的,但即使是虚空的也别忘了它们在现实世界里是存在的。

这道理让我联想到圣经有一本智慧书《传道书》也是讲虚空的道理。
传道书1:2 虚 空 的 虚 空 , 虚 空 的 虚 空 。 凡 事 都 是 虚 空 。
1:14 我 见 日 光 之 下 所 作 的 一 切 事 , 都 是 虚 空 , 都 是 捕 风 。
3:2 生 有 时 , 死 有 时 。 栽 种 有 时 , 拔 出 所 栽 种 的 , 也 有 时 。
3:3 杀 戮 有 时 , 医 治 有 时 。 拆 毁 有 时 , 建 造 有 时 。
3:4 哭 有 时 , 笑 有 时 。 哀 恸 有 时 , 跳 舞 有 时 。
3:7 撕 裂 有 时 , 缝 补 有 时 。 静 默 有 时 , 言 语 有 时 。
3:8 喜 爱 有 时 , 恨 恶 有 时 。 争 战 有 时 , 和 好 有 时 。

圣经把这道理更明确的解释了,你们可以继续读下去,还有很多。
不同的是
3:12 我 知 道 世 人 , 莫 强 如 终 身 喜 乐 行 善 。
3:13 并 且 人 人 吃 喝 , 在 他 一 切 劳 碌 中 享 福 。 这 也 是 神 的 恩 赐 。

虽然工作辛苦,也是虚空的,但是去享受劳碌得来的吧,因为这是神的恩赐。

整本传道书就是在讲“虚空”,全部劳碌享受,一切在世上所做的都是虚空的

传道书 12:13-14 总 意 就 是 敬 畏 神 , 谨 守 他 的 诫 命 , 这 是 人 所 当 尽 的 本 分 。 ( 或 作 这 是 众 人 的 本 分 )因 为 人 所 作 的 事 , 连 一 切 隐 藏 的 事 , 无 论 是 善 是 恶 , 神 都 必 审 问 。

但是我们不要忘了敬畏神!因为人所作的事,虽然是虚空的事,但神将来都必定会审问我们的。

我个人认为,
佛教教义就是很玄很玄,要自己去悟。
它道理很广。
只用很少很少的字让人自己去想,让人自由发挥来悟道。这就是它的特色。
所以它很容易让其他的道理融入里头,因为它有很大的空间。

基督教的教义就相反了。
基督教的圣经很白话,道理都是绝对的。
1就是1,2就是2。对就是对,错就是错。
明明白白地把道理摊开在你面前。

Write a sentence based on the picture and words given...


Let's play a game.
Get inspired by the picture to continue the sentence in the picture!

圣经里伟大的爱情故事

很久以前,在以色列国有一位圣人,名叫何西亚,他是一位先知。他爱上了一位女子,名叫歌蔑。不过,她是一名妓女。虽然如此,何西亚还是深深地爱着她,他们生了一个儿子取名为耶斯列。后来又生了一个女儿取名为罗路哈玛。之后又再生一个儿子取名叫罗阿米。他们一直过着愉快的日子。

有一天,歌蔑又再行淫犯罪,她离开了何西亚。从此,何西亚一家与他的心都一起破碎了。

何西亚非常伤心,他一直以来深爱着的歌蔑尽然辜负他,离他而去。他的心犹如被扔进火炉融化那样疼痛不堪。

为什么她还要继续犯罪呢?
我已经把你从罪恶的妓寨里救了出来,为什么你还要回去犯罪呢?
为什么你不能够回心转意,一心一意的爱我呢?
难道我对你的爱还不够吗?
求你快点回来,回到我身边来,我会原谅你的!
可怜的何西亚,心灵破碎,泪流满面,一直在门口怀着满满的希望等待着爱人的归回。

何西亚等了很久很久,等到不耐烦了。他无法再压制内心强烈的爱情,他决定动身去把歌蔑找回来。为了这份爱,他愿意低声下气,无论牺牲任何事情,他都不在乎。
何西亚带着银子十五舍客勒,大麦一贺梅珥半,去把她找回来,使她重新回到自己的身边。
(参考《何西亚书》一章至三章)


其实,这个故事是在影射我们。我们就是那个一直不肯悔改的妓女歌蔑。而这位心灵破碎的圣人先知就是我们伟大的真神——耶稣基督。

主耶稣为了把我们救出这个罪恶的世界,牺牲了自己。主耶稣用自己的宝血,成功把我们赎了出来。
但是,可恶的我们却一而再,再而三的辜负了主耶稣的爱。我们又再回到罪恶的世界去犯罪,离开主耶稣而去,甚至把主耶稣给忘了!
尽管如此,主耶稣对我们的爱仍然没有改变,反而更加爱我们。祂不断的盼望着我们回心转意然后全心全意地爱祂。即使祂失望了无数次,可是祂依然深深地爱着我们,祂仍然持守着我会归回的愿望。

或天旋或地转 经沧海历桑田 主耶稣的爱永远都不会离开我们。

Short Dialog: Faith Is Like Water.

Bro.Z: "Faith is like water. I thought that my faith is strong like a waterfall flow strongly. But now only I realized that my faith is just a cup of water playing teh tarik. My faith moves only when I 'tarik', it's dead when I stop. Before this I keep on 'tarik', but now I was tired. My faith had become dead. Haiz... Did you get what I mean?"

Bro.A: "Guess I can understand when you are 'tarik'-ing your teh all this while, you and yourself, surely you will grow tired of 'tarik'-ing and eventually stop doing it. You need at least two cups to 'tarik teh', you yourself are one cup, and someone else is another. Then faith flows coherently. Sorry I cant be physically with you as the other cup, but hope Im that cup mentally. I am weak too, but both of us are cups held by God's hands to 'tarik' our teh of faith. God knows us best and sometimes God allows the teh to flow high, sometimes low. Anyway, we are God's humble vessel and should always be. Let's keep our teh hot and high quality. My prayers."
