【小基督大世界】信耶穌有什麼不好?

 

NothingWrongToBelieveGod260x129幾個星期前,教會一位弟兄息了地上的勞苦,安息主懷。這位老弟兄的家人、教會弟兄姊妹對這位弟兄的突然離去很不捨與悲傷。在他的安息、安葬禮拜中,雖然淚水不斷,但整個安息禮拜從頭到尾,卻是充滿了平安與希望。

安息禮拜完畢,當穿黑衣裳的眾人走出教堂,隨著載著棺木的靈車走向距離教堂不遠的墓地時,下了數天雨的天空竟然放晴了,藍天襯著白雲,加上墓園的綠地,雖然是喪禮,但眾人卻沒有害怕的感覺,反而覺得很肅穆、平安。這位弟兄的棺木被埋入土裡前,眾人依序在他的棺木上擺上一朵朵美麗的鮮花。最後,當牧者唸到:「弟兄,你從塵土來,仍歸與塵土」,並在棺木上灑上塵土時,忽然一陣輕風拂過,將灑下的塵土吹開,被吹散的土瞬間被展開,好似用沙織成的薄紗一般,然後隨風飄散。這一幕好美,好安詳......,這讓眾人想到基督徒的死亡不是終點,而是邁向永恆的起跑點。這和一般不信者的喪禮中,眾人哀痛欲絕,瀰漫著失望、不安、甚至恐慌的氣氛是很不一樣的。

安息禮拜中,牧者在證道中提到這位弟兄信主的特殊經歷,讓我們與會者很得激勵。這位弟兄原本對上教會一事很反感,有時反對到一個程度,甚至對欲上教會參加主日崇拜的妻子暴力相向,讓他的妻子傷心不已。孰料,有一天的夜裡,當這位弟兄睡覺時,有兩位身穿雪白衣裳的人(根據這位弟兄自己作的見證,他認為這兩位穿白衣者是神所差派的天使),站在他的床邊呼喚他的名字,然後對他說:「你為什麼不去教會?」翌日,這兩位身穿白衣的人,又在夜晚直呼他的名字對他說:「信耶穌有什麼不好?」接連兩天的異夢,這位弟兄再也不敢硬著頸項,他自己迫不及待地跑到教會,並告訴牧師要信主並接受洗禮。他的舉動讓眾人詫異,是怎樣的力量讓一個人有如此大的轉變?!

回到家中這句「信耶穌有什麼不好?」一直在心中盤旋不去。反覆思想,為什麼有那麼多的人不信耶穌,在他們心中,「信耶穌到底有什麼不好?」世上有那麼多的宗教,信耶穌與信其他宗教最大的不同點是什麼?

耶穌在世時,曾親口說:「......但要叫你們知道,人子在地上有赦罪的權柄。」(馬可福音二章10節),其他的宗教教主沒有一個敢自稱自己有赦罪的能力,沒有一個從死裡復活,也沒有一個敢說將來必再來與世人同居。耶穌的門徒們經歷了耶穌從死裡復活、向他們顯現四十天之久、最後昇天的奇事,且經歷了耶穌離世前的應許,就是耶穌復活回天家後,將差派保會師聖靈來住在信祂的人的心裡,做隨時的引導與幫助後,他們不得不從內心深處由衷地呼喊:「除祂以外,別無拯救。因為在天下人間,沒有賜下別的名,我們可以靠著得救」。(使徒行傳四章12節)。

誠如使徒保羅所說的:「死啊!你得勝的權勢在哪裡?死啊!你的毒鉤在哪裡?死的毒鉤就是罪,罪的權勢就是律法。感謝神,使我們藉著我們的主耶穌基督得勝。」(哥林多前書十五章55-57節)。

只有耶穌基督有「赦罪」的權柄,其他的宗教沒有!人為什麼會死亡?是因為罪的問題,耶穌基督第一次來到世上,是為了解決「罪」與「永死」的問題。我們這個肉體因為罪的緣故,終有一死,但因著耶穌基督的寶血,我們的罪被洗清。信主耶穌的人目前的肉體雖然有毀壞的一天,但是主耶穌應許信靠祂的人,祂必再來;已經信主死了的人,當祂第二次再來時,必像祂當日從死裡復活一樣,有一個復活的身體,是不會毀壞的,是一個榮耀的身體。到時復活的眾聖徒都會在天家相會......,想到這裡,我對死亡不再恐懼,因為我有永生的盼望。

你有永生的確據嗎?來信耶穌吧!如果你不想信,請好好想一想,然後捫心自問:「信耶穌到底有什麼不好?」
