【人生天地線】人生的探索

 

自從中國人發明了指南針之後,無論是東方與西方,古人都不斷地向未知的世界探索新大陸!由於西方世界在航海技術上的進步,以致發現了美洲新大陸。因著這種探索的精神,英國、葡萄牙、西班牙、荷蘭等國家在世界各地建立了殖民地,發掘大量的資源,為本國地區賺取大量的財富!只可惜當時的西方國家運用帝國式的霸權發動了許多殖民戰爭,破壞了種族之間的和平,播下了種族主義仇恨的種子,直到如今!

但是令人感到欣慰的是因著人類科技文明的進步,交通工具的發達,拉近了世界各民族地區的距離,促進文化的交流,化解種族之間的衝突,由於人類繼續持守著這種探索的精神,不但登陸了月球,更向著太陽系的行星而邁進!如今世界各文明大國每年都注入大量的金錢與人才在科技和太空的領域進行史無前例的研究,為要尋找未來更好的殖民地。可見人類探索的精神為我們帶來了文明的進步與幸福!

各位親愛的朋友們!如果我們人類的祖先沒有這種探索的精神,我們恐怕還停留在農耕的社會,騎著牛馬,望著星空呢!而且種族之間仍然不斷地充滿矛盾與分爭,戰爭、貧困將層出不窮!雖然如今仍然存在以上的問題,但是現代社會的繁華實乃因著科技文明的成果,許多家族的財富也往往是因著對外貿易的往來,透過各種探索與發現,經過世代移民的開懇與努力,才可能累積多年的財富與智慧!其實我們個人的命運也是如此,一個富有探索精神的人生,必定會開創出美好的未來,因為一個願意不斷努力向未知領域探索的人,必定能夠為自己闖出許多機會的門路、建立更多人際的網路!縱觀古今中外許多成功的偉人,我們都會發現在他們的身上充滿了各種探索的精神!

為什麼人類會有這種探索的精神呢?當偉大的科學家牛頓在蘋果樹下因著探索蘋果的墜落與月亮的繞行速度而發現萬有引力的時候,他指出了清楚的解答:「在沒有物質的地方有什麼存在呢?太陽與行星的引力從何而來呢?宇宙萬物為什麼井然有序呢?行星的作用是什麼?動物的眼睛是根據光學原理設計的嗎?
豈不是宇宙間有一位造物主嗎?雖然科學未能使我們立刻明白萬物的起源,但這些都引導我們歸向萬有的神面前。」

可見人類探索的思想乃是源自於創造萬有的主宰,而創造主的智慧則是一切探索問題最終的解答!牛頓因著對神偉大創造的探索而找到了一把開啟人類科技文明的鑰匙,打開了天文學、物理學與數學的謎鎖,然而在牛頓晚年的時候卻透露了他的探索精神竟然是來自於耶穌基督!他勸勉世人說:「不管任何環境,要守住耶穌救贖的真理和最大的誡命——愛人如己。」

為什麼一位相信科學精神的牛頓竟然也會對耶穌的真理與誡命有如此堅定的信仰呢?

原來根據聖經的真理:「我如亡羊走迷了路,求你尋找僕人,因我不忘記你的命令。」(詩篇119:176)世人如同將亡的迷羊,因著牧羊人的尋找而得到拯救,這就是耶穌基督捨己拯救世人的大愛!耶穌說:「人子來,為要尋找,拯救失喪的人。」(路加福音19:10)「我是好牧人;好牧人為羊捨命。」(約翰福音10:11)正是因著愛的力量才能棄而不捨的尋找遺失的對象,如同父親找尋失散的兒女,兒女們也在找尋親身的父母與他們的親人!耶穌又說:「我又告訴你們,你們祈求,就給你們;尋找,就尋見;叩門,就給你們開門。」(路加福音11:9)牛頓就是靠著這個愛的力量而產生出探索宇宙真理的精神,為人類文明留下永恆的貢獻!他不但探索到宇宙中部份的真理,也尋找到創造主對人類的救贖真理,並且藉著他對救主耶穌的信仰而進入永生!親愛的朋友們!在您的人生道路上是否也有探索的精神呢?您們是否也探索到人生的真諦與永生的盼望呢?
