首先感谢各位网友的提醒,愿主耶稣基督的恩常与我们众人同在。编发2012 Daily Bible Reading Guide的时候,已是小寒。雨雪从天而降,并不返回,却滋润地土……以赛亚书55:10这句经文,在一定意义上,显明了读经的意义。我们不过是人,不过是尘土;因此,我们需要神,需要神的话语。正如经上所记:神的话语是我们脚前的灯路上的光;我们活着,不单靠食物,也靠神口里所出的一切话。我们越是信道,我们越是能看见我这地土的干涸,越是饥渴慕义,也就越能够渐渐更新。脱去旧人,成为新人。每日读经,也是一条十字架的道路。“恶人当离弃自己的道路。不义的人当除掉自己的意念,归向耶和华,耶和华就必怜恤他,当归向我们的神,因为神必广行赦免。”(以赛亚书55:7)
这片土地上最大的干涸,乃是因为“雾国雾民”这片无花果树的叶子,隐藏了存在的真相。“你们便如神”,蛇的狡猾,制造了“假神”和“假人”的弥天大谎,无一幸免。具有中国特色的谎言分两部分。第一部分是假神事业,就是将人神化,神圣化,常规手段是自我荣耀、彼此荣耀。第二部分是假人事业,就是(表演惊诧)将他人妖魔化,通过妖魔化别人自我神化或彼此神化。人比妖精可怕,妖精只是吃人,人却什么都吃,连神的儿子也被吃掉了。于是政客演新闻联播,牧师演奋兴大会,共知演肉身成道……两个罪人鸣翠柳,一行影帝上青天。中国的“人妖”需要圣经蒙学。但启蒙之路任重道远,我们要面对无神论传统的假冒,和文化基督徒的搅扰。其中最大的试探是对路加福音24章的无知,以为圣经说的罪指向别人,圣经说的义不是指向基督,而是指向“我”。这是三千年开始的时候,汉语谎言对撒旦事业新的贡献。这是我们每日读经首先要面对的难题。上帝是上帝,罪人是罪人,耶稣是中保。唯独上帝是上帝,唯独罪人是罪人,唯独基督是中保。
无论是为罪受管教,还是为义受逼迫,圣经都让我们清醒地看见,你不过是人。以往你怎样论断人,如今怎样被人论断。耶洗别自要担当她的罪。但以利亚即使为先知的职分也是逃命,马可精明,年轻的名利之徒,不过落荒而去。你既不是“良知”,也不是“伦理”,也不是“价值”。对上帝话语的剽窃,对基督荣耀的抢夺,只是依靠大词或大言不惭,用一半特清醒支持一半佯醉的“嚣汉”堆砌在沙滩上;然后有“王姨”的龙门阵神学:亚伯拉罕又启程了,而且是上帝钦点的。以赛亚书53:5-6不是那么应用的。这地土上没有任何一个人有资格说为别人背负苦难,因为只有耶稣是基督。代表癖是中国文化之癌,埋藏着精心制作的撒谎和百般修饰的伤口;以及无所不在的无耻、奸淫、精神暴力和潜在的暴行。创世记12:1的滥用借着传道人的光环更加骇人听闻。“我知道……乃是天上的君王使他们离开本地,本族,父家,往主所指示的地方去”。你何以知道呢?(创世记3:5)亚伯拉罕的离开首要的神圣计划,在他的“那位后裔”,就是基督;然后在,“凡是以信为本的,都是亚伯拉罕的子孙”。无知在羞辱教会,我不知道这是否也在亵渎圣灵。
感谢神将圣经赐给我们,使神成为神,使人成为人;使精神病和骗子成为正常人,使罪人蒙恩,使旧人成为新人。第一诫就解决了假神的问题。基督又赐给我们一条新命令,就是彼此相爱,使我们在扔石头和妖魔化他人的时候,真的知道何为底线。意大利的百夫长算是中国公共知识分子中的一员,盼望他们2012年和我们一起读经。圣经会借着彼得的手拉起他们,“说,你起来,我也是人”(使徒行传10:26)。前犹太主义者而今“混进教会”的保罗也说:“诸君,为什么做这事呢?我们也是人,性情和你们一样。我们传福音给你们,是叫你们离弃这些虚妄,归向那创造天、地、海和其中万物的永生神”(使徒行传 14:15)。只有圣经是底线,救我们脱离谎言和癌症,出死入生。诸君,为什么做这事呢,哥尼流,你起来。
