【特稿】我們要慈悲,像我們的父慈悲一樣

 

"你們倒要愛仇敵﹐也要善待他們﹐並要借給人不指望償還﹐你們的賞賜就必大了﹐你們也必作至高者的兒子。因為祂恩待那忘恩的和作惡的﹐你們要慈悲﹐像你們的父慈悲一樣。"(路6:35-36)這裡向我們提出:為什麼要善待仇敵才能表明我們的慈悲呢?

慈悲就是慈愛與憐憫,就是年長者對年幼者的憐愛。"慈悲" 二字在原文是憐憫、同情、恩待的意思。神是慈悲的神,祂憐憫貧窮人,恩待祂的眾兒女,就是所有屬祂的人, "那先前忍耐的人﹐我們稱他們是有福的。你們聽見過約伯的忍耐﹐也知道主給他的結局﹐明顯主是滿心憐憫﹐大有慈悲。"(雅5:11)首先,我們要有一顆慈愛的心,這顆充滿慈愛的心不是我們與生俱來的,是神恩賜給我們的:"你們雖然不好﹐尚且知道拿好東西給兒女。何況天父﹐豈不更將聖靈給求他的人麼?"(路11:13)

世界上沒有無緣無故的愛,也沒有無緣無故的恨,"你們願意人怎樣待你們﹐你們也要怎樣待人。你們若單愛那愛你們的人﹐有甚麼可酬謝的呢?就是罪人也愛那愛他們的人。你們若善待那善待你們的人﹐有甚麼可酬謝的呢?就是罪人也是這樣行。你們若借給人﹐指望從他收回﹐有甚麼可酬謝的呢?就是罪人也借給罪人﹐要如數收回。"(路6:31-34)

聖經中說﹐耶穌 "進入一個村子﹐有十個長大痲瘋的迎面而來﹐遠遠的站著﹐高聲說:'耶穌﹐夫子﹐可憐我們罷。' 耶穌看見﹐就對他們說:'你們去把身體給祭司察看。' 他們去的時候就潔淨了。內中有一個見自己已經好了﹐就回來大聲歸榮耀與神﹐又俯伏在耶穌腳前感謝祂。這人是撒瑪利亞人。耶穌說:'潔淨了的不是十個人麼?那九個在哪裡呢?' 除了這外族人再沒有別人回來歸榮耀與神﹐就對那人說:'起來走罷﹐你的信救了你了。'"(路17:12-19)

我們可以看到那被潔净的十個長大痲瘋的人,其中只有一個撒瑪利亞人,這人回來俯伏在耶穌腳前感謝祂,耶穌基督高興地說:"起來走罷﹐你的信救了你了。" 這個故事告訴我們要向神感恩。

我們要慈悲,像我們的父慈悲一樣。說起來很容易,但是多少人能夠真正做到?神國的子民要以善報惡。"只是我告訴你們這聽道的人﹐你們的仇敵要愛他﹐恨你們的要待他好﹐咒詛你們的要為他祝福﹐凌辱你們的要為他禱告;有人打你這邊的臉﹐連那邊的臉也由他打;有人奪你的外衣﹐連裡衣也由他拿去。凡求你的﹐就給他。有人奪你的東西去﹐不用再要回來。"(路6:27-30)"若遇見你仇敵的牛、或驢失迷了路﹐總要牽回來交給他。"(出23:4)"你的仇敵若餓了就給他飯吃﹐若渴了就給他水喝。"(箴25:21) "所以『你的仇敵若餓了﹐就給他吃;若渴了﹐就給他喝。因為你這樣行﹐就是把炭火堆在他的頭上。』你不可為惡所勝﹐反要以善勝惡。"(羅12:20-21)

神要我們以德報怨﹐而不是以怨報怨,讓對方真心悔悟,化敵為友。我們原是罪人中的罪魁﹐一群極不配的罪人,然而父神深愛我們,廣施憐憫,差遣祂的愛子降世成全救恩﹐拯救我們,且在祂愛子裡一直施憐憫、賜恩典給我們。「神啊,有何神像您,赦免罪孽,饒恕您產業之餘民的罪過,不永遠懷怒,喜愛施恩?必再憐憫我們,將我們的罪孽踏在腳下,又將我們的一切罪投於深海。」(彌7:18-19)

我們既已有這樣一位滿心憐憫、大有慈悲的神,就當時常靠著耶穌的寶血,坦然無懼地來到祂施恩寶座前親近神,飽享祂豐盛的恩惠。同時,更當牢記主耶穌的囑咐:「你們要慈悲,像你們的父慈悲一樣。」我們既有神兒女的生命,行事為人、處世態度就不應像世人一樣,乃應像耶穌基督那樣滿有憐憫、饒恕,以慈悲為懷,憐憫貧窮人,幫助有需要的肢體。又當饒恕人的過犯,常常憐憫許多尚在罪中沉淪的世人,為他們切切禱告。這樣,在世寄居的日子,就必彰顯神的慈悲,榮耀耶穌基督的聖名。
