中國許多的哲學、文化思想,處處提到「天人合一」的想法。例如漢代的董仲舒:「天人之際,合而為一」;春秋戰國時代的莊子:「天地與我並生,萬物與我為一」; 孔子:「天生德於予,桓魋其如予何」;孟子:「盡其心者,知其性也。知其性,則知天矣。存其心,養其性,所以事天也」等。佛家也強調:「放下屠刀,立地成佛」。這些想法多半以人為本,要達到天人合一,必須經過一定的苦行、修煉才可以達成如天一般的極高境界。

人都有追求「真」、「善」、「美」的慾望。「人本」者認為人可以透過自我的操練,使自己達於「至善」、「至聖」、「至美」,但讓我們捫心自問,在我們生活周遭裡,有哪一個我們認識的人,是靠著自我修煉而臻「聖潔無瑕」的境地的?

人因為有罪的緣故,即使是力求「攻克己身,叫身服我」,如果犯罪的環境成熟,還是有「破功」的可能。回顧世界歷史裡,到底有沒有人是真正「天人合一」,神聖,從沒有犯過罪的呢?感謝神,在地球上,的確曾有一個人是真正「天人合一」的,祂的名字叫「耶穌」!剛過去的「聖誕節」就是要紀念祂的「降生」!

出生就出生,為何會說「降生」呢?每年的十二月,不管是西方還是東方的國家,到處都洋溢著過「聖誕節」的氣氛。筆者十二月間回台灣探親,走在台北的街道上,處處聽到「慶聖誕」歡愉的音樂,但是有多少人真正明白「聖誕節」的主角與「聖誕」的意義?您在今年的聖誕節期間花了多少錢購物、享樂呢?節期過後,您又有多少的帳單要付呢?每年的聖誕節前、後,是最多人犯抑鬱症的時候。節前憂鬱者是因為害怕許多的期待無法達成(例如:家人團聚、缺少經費過節、寂寞),而節後不少人則因為一陣放鬆、狂歡後,意識到節期已經過去,又得要回到現實的環境中(家人各奔東西,人去樓空,工作賺錢、付帳單等等)時,感受到極大的失落感而造成節後抑鬱症(Postsantum Depression)。

創造天地萬物的主宰憐憫人因為軟弱,無力自拔,但又因渴慕過平安無虞的好日子,卻如何也達不到,而在勞苦嘆息中汲汲營營,或做垂死掙扎,所以在歷世歷代,用各種方法向人揭示祂的存在,人卻不回應祂。祂訂了一個時間,且照所訂的時間,從「天上」來到了「地上」,與人同住了三十三年半,所以祂的誕生叫「降生」,而且祂本是聖潔無瑕的,所以祂的降生被稱為「聖誕」!

「耶穌」是世上唯一一位完全「天人合一」的人,因為祂本為「神」,因為愛的緣故,來到世上,藉著「聖靈」,在童真女馬利亞的腹中成為人的樣式。長大成人後,祂開始向人揭示祂自己,目的是教導人如何與神修復和好的關係,教導人如何靠著祂的救贖,脫離罪惡的綑綁。祂為我們的罪受死,以自己的生命,付出代價後的第三天從死裡復活,在地上又住了四十天,然後回到天上,十天之後還差派「聖靈」來,住在願意接待祂的人的裡面。靠著「聖靈」的引導與力量,我們的心意可以慢慢的被「純化」,我們的行為、思想逐漸被「導正」,聖靈在我們裡面與我們越來越「密契配合」,我們才有可能逐漸達到「神人合一」(或稱天人合一)的境界。沒有神的靈住在我們裡面,教導我們如何與「天」(其實是神)溝通,我們與天是溝不通的!有些人自詡可以靠自我修煉,或靠神秘的力量來與天相通(通靈),他們其實是與「邪靈」相交,帶來的是被挾制與不安!靠著「聖靈」與真神相交,帶來的卻是被安慰、喜樂與平安!

你還在為了尋求過真、善、美的生活,或寄望脫離目前生活的苦境而努力「練功」嗎?基督耶穌早已為你代付了贖價,祂等待著進入你的生命裡,成為你生命最安穩的舵手,引導你航向生命最美的一端,你願意接受這上好的禮物嗎?

新的一年又開始了,新年新氣象,讓我們敞開我們的心,迎接「聖靈」住在我們的裡面,如同聖經教我們的:「若有人在基督裡,他就是新造的人,舊事已過,都變成新的了」(哥林多後書五章17節)!

讓我們靠著神的聖靈,成為新的人,而且「弟兄們,我不是以為自己已經得著了。我只有一件事,就是忘記背後,努力面前的,向著標竿直跑,要得神在基督耶穌裡從上面召我來得的獎賞。」(腓立比書三章13-14節)願我們都能敞開心,一同領受從上頭來的永恆的福份,願我們都能早日飽嚐與神「親密相交」,「天人合一」的甜美!
