從客西馬尼園禱告啟發人生路的“轉”和“合” (part 2/3)


馬 太 福 音 26: 38 便 對 他 們 說 : 我 心 裡 甚 是 憂 傷 , 幾 乎 要 死 ;..... 39 ... 俯 伏 在 地 , 禱 告 說 : 我 父 阿 , 倘 若 可 行 , 求 你 叫 這 杯 離 開 我 。 然 而 , 不 要 照 我 的 意 思 , 只 要 照 你 的 意 思 。.... 42 第 二 次 又 去 禱 告 說 : 我 父 阿 , 這 杯 若 不 能 離 開 我 , 必 要 我 喝 , 就 願 你 的 意 旨 成 全 。


「轉」--獨處, 靜思, 覺醒, 心意更新, 價值改變

4) 主耶穌經歷了最深度的思考,但只是獨自一人, 經歷孤單

  • 在「自己的」客西馬尼園,沒有人陪伴你,問題必須要獨自面對!
  • 你要獨自一人與神溝通, 作重大的決定, 困難麼?為什麼?
5) 在掙扎中, 主耶穌經歷最深沉的痛苦; 汗珠成為血點滴下,但祂沒有沉溺在失落和失望裡
  • 你是在獨自掙扎,或有人陪伴的時候, 經歷更多的痛苦?為什麼?
  • 可否從一些宣教士或殉道者的經歷學習呢?當使命清晰時, 痛苦是否會少些?如何分辨「為主受苦」 Vs「攞苦來辛」?
  • 面臨兩難的局面時, 你的頭腦是否仍然清晰?心情是否會失落? 會否放棄?
6) 心意更新: "不要照我的意思,只要照你的意思! "
  • 價值改變例子: 享受人生 -> 活豐盛生命; 拼搏揾錢 -> 分別為聖;  接受弱肉強食 -> 活出工作為祭
