從客西馬尼園禱告啟發人生路的“轉”和“合” (part 1/3)

"....俯 伏 在 地 , 禱 告 說 : 倘 若 可 行 , 便 叫 那 時 候 過 去 。36 他 說 : 阿 爸 ! 父 阿 ! 在 你 凡 事 都 能 ; 求 你 將 這 杯 撤 去 。 然 而 , 不 要 從 我 的 意 思 , 只 要 從 你 的 意 思 。...."(馬 可福 音14 --35)

「起、承」--反思過去的計劃, 同行者, 思考, 掙扎

1)  主耶穌很清楚自己的使命,是父神的計劃, 但祂內心的掙扎仍然很大, 求父神將苦杯撤去, 不想受苦來完成使命
  • 你清楚知道你的召命、使命嗎? 如果不清楚,肯定會更軟弱並有更大的掙扎!
  • 例子: 卓越於事業 Vs 照顧家庭成員; 
  • 例子: 保持穩定工作 Vs 轉做不穩定但有意義的工作; 
  • 例子: 抗議家庭成員不合理的投訴 Vs 保持家庭和諧
2)  更難受的是,耶穌那些親密的門徒,根本不曉得他們夫子正在經歷怎樣的掙扎, 不知道祂即將要面對的是怎樣的苦難; 他們甚至睡覺去了! 
  • 你最親愛的人可能不了解你的苦!
  • 例子: 因着行公義失去了工作,但配偶不了解真正原因並抱怨! 
  • 例子: 基督徒用時間事奉但不被親人所了解!
3)  主耶穌經歷了極大的誤解: 門徒希望他成為王,不願他被侮辱和折磨
  • 你最親愛的人也可能會誤解你!
  • 例子: 你相信自己是正直的, 但你的配偶卻相信別人對你的負面批評!
