【特稿】深情懷念:尊敬的吳主光牧師

 

「照著我所切慕、所盼望的,沒有一事叫我羞愧。只要凡事放膽,無論是生是死,總叫基督在我身上照常顯大。因我活著就是基督,我死了就有益處。」(腓立比書:第一章20-21節)

尊敬的吳主光牧師於 2017 年 6 月 10 日,在香港威爾斯親王醫院安息主懷,享年 77 歲。該消息是由加拿大 COCM 主席 Stephen Cheung 從 e-mail 傳來告知,很是突然,但非常有感觸;雖然知道他返回天家,與天父相遇,是無比的恩惠,但心中亦是非常的不捨。

記得我從香港移民溫哥華後第一份工作,就是擔任溫哥華短宣中心,由吳主光牧師和一班同工合力創辦的《真理報》編輯工作。在到職的第一天,是吳牧師請我一起前往列治文一間中餐廳進食午飯。在席間,他詳細的介紹了溫哥華短宣中心及《真理報》詳情,令我得益非淺,更增加了我從事該份基督教報紙編輯工作的信心。感謝主,在《真理報》編輯工作期間,他很多時候親自打電話給我,指導一些細節問題,及時指出《真理報》的要素等相關問題。另一方面,因為當時他的辦公室與短宣中心同一區內,相隔不遠﹐他曾多次走來短宣中心看望我的編輯工作,以及叫我時常到他辦公室走走等。我知道他這樣做,主要目的是非常關心我的工作情形及屬靈生活。因為他明白我過去在香港工作的情況,明白一個初信主的我,在屬靈方面的需要。所以,他藉此機會對我循循善誘,非常感謝吳牧師當年的照顧及教導。

記得當年我即將離開《真理報》,到《星島日報》任職前,為《真理報》作了最後一次採訪工作,就是在吳牧師的辦公室,對他進行了採訪。而採訪文章刊登在第64期的《真理報》上,標題為:《吳主光——從「新造的人」到神的忠僕》。從這次的採訪中,讓我很透澈的了解吳牧師的童年成長過程,信主得救的經歷﹐他在香港海外神學院任院長時的教學感受﹐以及他移民溫哥華後,有感應該將耶穌基督的真理廣傳的原則下,他與多位牧者一同創辦了《真理報》。他在當年的採訪中,明確的指出《真理報》未來的發展方向,亦誠懇的談到了個人對《真理報》的看法等。

吳牧師屬靈是深奧的,他在當年說過:「聖經帶著聖靈的大能,引導我走向光明而堅定的屬靈之路,強調基督教是可信的。」他又稱:「自己非常有興趣從事研究工作,包括聖經及其他宗教等方面的學問。通過比較,深深體會到聖經是非常的奇妙,全世界沒有一本書可與聖經相比較。」而且,吳牧師精闢的分析了聖經精萃所在。吳牧師在當年的採訪中表示,「自己閱讀聖經樂此不疲,有些部份看過不下百多次,但每次都有不同的感覺,每次都有新的發現。而且,越看越深入,越看越有難以想像的事件出現。」他強調:「聖經不是普通的書,是神的話語,是真理的根基。」

當年我在《真理報》工作時,《真理報》剛剛走過5年,而邁向第6年。吳牧師在當時的採訪中就強調《真理報》必須增加多元化版面,如家庭、社會、人類道德、子女教養及輔導、正視同性戀、吸毒等問題。在尋找得救靈魂上,《真理報》將肩負神的使命,從各方面引導及教導世人。及將《真理報》,發行量遍佈世界各地,令更多的人通過《真理報》,明白聖經的真理奧妙,讓不信的人從而信主得救。的確,《真理報》之後不斷的加強內容及充實了版面﹐令這份刊物能夠把「天國的福音,要傳遍天下,對萬民作見證......(馬太福音 24:14)」;「你們既聽見真理的道,就是那叫你們得救的福音,也信了基督, 既然信祂,就受了所應許的聖靈為印記。(以弗所書1:13)」

我離開《真理報》後到《星島日報》任職,吳牧師曾多次和我通電話,除關心詢問我的工作外,亦非常關心我的屬靈生活。其次,他曾在溫哥華 COCM 事奉過,而我亦加入 COCM 編輯工作。所以,彼此的共同話題很多。之後不久,他離開溫哥華返香港,聽聞在他幼年受浸的教會擔任主任牧師......。

敬愛的吳主光牧師乘風而去與神相遇,是無比的喜樂......。然而,在我的心中,永遠懷念著他......。而此時的我,不由自主地輕輕哼起《野地的花》美麗的旋律:「慈愛的天父,天天都看顧,祂更愛世上人,為他們預備永生的路......;一切需要,天父已經都知道,祂是全能的主,信靠祂的人真是有福。」讓我將此首歌給在天國中的吳主光牧師。
