把主人给的银子埋地里藏起来了

(2022-08-13 14:33:59) 下一个

马太福音第25章14-30节,耶稣在上十字架之前,给门徒打了一个比喻。这个比喻说,主人在去外国之前,交给了一些仆人多少不等的银子。一些仆人用主人所给的银子赚取了不少银子,可是有一个仆人竟然把主人给的银子埋在地里藏起来了。主人回来的时候,奖赏了那些赚取了银子的仆人,而把这个埋藏银子的仆人扔进黑暗里去了。

今天之所以想起了这个比喻,是因为这几天读到了远牧为"耶稣颂-大爱篇"做的前言。在这个前言里,远牧在下面这段话里提到了他自己的一些经历:

"......我在这个耶稣不可抗拒的吸引下走进基督教,那个时候耶稣几乎占据了我的全部的身心。可是进来以后呢,却几乎看不见耶稣了。在各种神学教义、宗派、律法、礼仪和事工当中,这些事情归成了一片汪洋大海,耶稣被稀释在其中,被稀释了,被湮没了......我在神学院里边读神学,我最期待的一门课就是四福音书,等啊等啊,终于等到开课了,讲什么呢?讲作者呀,讲背景啊,讲资源呐,讲福音书的关联呐,讲啊讲啊,讲到最后,讲完了,还没有讲耶稣的四福音书的内容——正文没有打开,没有摊开;耶稣的言行啊,生命啊,都没有摊开。在这门课里面,我根本吃喝不到耶稣的血和肉,摸不到祂的生命。更不用说神本性一切的丰富都有形有体的居住在耶稣基督里,我根本就摸不着这个东西......我刚一接触神学的时候,受到很大的冲击。那些神学教条,繁杂的支派,好像沉重的铁链,要把我心中的新鲜如朝阳、又真又活的耶稣团团的锁住......神学的光景是这样,教会生活的光景其实也是差不多。三十年下来,我吃惊的发现,同为基督徒,人格、品性、行事为人,却可以南辕北辙,仿佛压根儿就不是同一个信仰。所以,我意识到一点,并不是每一个自称信耶稣的人,信的都真是耶稣......"

远牧的这些经历不好似在说比喻里那个埋藏主人银子的仆人吗?在比喻里,耶稣用主人比喻他自己,用银子比喻他的福音或者说恩典。我们的主耶稣把福音交给了他的仆人们,上了十字架,而后复活去父那里了。有的仆人接收了福音后,传了真正的福音,比如保罗,彼得和好多后人们,很多人因此信主了,且有很多人接收到福音后继续把这个福音传出去,让主的福音遍布全地,让越来越多的人认识了一位恩典施慈爱的神,拯救并赐永生的神,即"赚钱"。

而有的仆人,却认为主是忍心令人惧怕的神,因为他在新约里没有透过耶稣的死与复活看到神的恩典与大爱,所以他就传扬旧约里神是如何如之何的苛刻严厉,偏偏不传扬令人平安喜乐的主的福音,偏偏不传扬主的拯救与所赐之义。这些仆人的做法就是把银子埋地里藏起来了。他们的教会虽然也可能叫基督教会,虽然也有好多信徒,但是他们走遍洋海陆地勾引人入教,却教他们做地狱之子。这就是为什么耶稣说喊着主啊主啊的人不能都进天国。

Take away therefore the talent from him, and give it to him who has the ten talents.
太25:29 因为凡有的、还要加给他、叫他有余.没有的、连他所有的、也要夺过来。
For to everyone who has will be given, and he will have abundance, but from him who doesn't have, even that which he has will be taken away.
太25:30 把这无用的仆人、丢在外面黑暗里.在那里必要哀哭切齿了。
Throw out the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'
