2020年圣经主日讯息: 以心灵阅读圣经

 

 

By Regional Biblical Commission of Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei (RBC)

July 11 2020

我们生活在地球村,通过社交媒体即可轻易地相互连系。当你只需发送电子邮件或讯息时,为何要费周章与人面对面相见或通电话?有时,我们是如此陷入这个虚拟现实,以致在我们周遭的人,包括家人和朋友都显得毫不相关。今日常见,一家人一起吃饭,眼睛盯着各自的手机,而不是关注在他们眼前的人。这将把我们与他人的关系导向功能性,即这个人能为我们做什么,而不是,这个人为我们是谁的关系层面。我们和天主的关系如何?是处在功能性还是关系性层面?

 

天主圣言是关系性,而非功能性

天主圣言不仅仅是一个精神概念、一个想法或思想的表达。简言之,他是一个活生生的人,是“我们听见过,亲眼看见过,瞻仰过,以及我们亲手摸过的”(1若1:1)生命的圣言。宗徒们非常确信,他们传给我们的不是”神话”或巧妙编造的故事或传说、哲学,或是某种政治制度或理论,而是与他们有亲密关系的人,他们就是证人(伯后1:16)。他们希望我们也愿意“同父和祂的子耶稣相通”1若1:3-4)——给生活的个人关系带来喜乐。教宗本笃十六世提醒我们,”基督徒的信仰不只在于相信某些事是真的,更重要的是在于与耶稣基督的个人关系。”他补充说,“我们可以在读经、祈祷、在教会的礼仪生活中与基督相遇。我们可以触摸到基督的心,并感受到祂在触摸着我们的。惟有在这种与基督的个人关系中,惟有在这个与‘复活的那位’的相遇中,我们才能够真正成为基督徒。”

 

天主圣言与我们建立活生生的个人关系

每当天主圣言被提及时,切记,我们谈论的是一个活着的人,而不是一个概念。每当我们拿起圣经,我们向和我们说话,并希望和我们建立个人关系的耶稣取得联系。我们是和耶稣交谈。耶稣发言,我们恭听。我们和耶稣说话,这位生命的圣言以不同方式,例如在礼仪中,向我们宣告。(1若1:1)“基督临在于自己的言语内,因而在教会内恭读圣经,实为基督亲自发言。”“所以这(信德)奥迹要求信友在与生活而真实的天主之活生生而亲密的关系中,相信、庆祝、活出这奥迹。这关系就是祈祷。”

 

以心灵阅读圣经 

我们用理智阅读报章、杂志、课本或做研究工作,以获取更多知识。我们不会与书籍、杂志或报章建立个人关系,我们不和它们说话。但是,当我们恭读天主圣言时,我们敞开心扉去接受祂(若1:1,12)。 我们以心灵甚于理性阅读或研读天主圣言。当我们阅读圣经时,我们正与耶稣建立个人并亲密的关系。

个人关系,即人与人,不是思想或概念上的,也不是人和概念、想法或能够让你发掘构思妙想,并任我们挑选并使用的智囊团。是的,那是来自人和人,来自爱我们的耶稣。祂爱我们,祂要赐予我们更多,与我们分享,向我们揭示”天国的奥秘“。(玛13:11)

亲密关系,即有一个交心的谈话,像两个恋人的密谈,交换两人间的秘密!它触及我们的内在深处。天主圣言治愈并使我们从束缚中释放自由,无论是情感、身体还是灵性上的。“天主的话确实是生活的,是有效力的,比各种双刃的剑还锐利,直穿入灵魂和神魂,关节与骨髓的分离点,且可辨别心中的感觉和思念。”(希4:12)

个人和亲密的关系发自内心。这就是为什么,我们的心必须敞开并接受耶稣要向我们揭示的。祂说,”除了父外,没有人认识子;除了子和子所愿意启示的人外,也没有人认识父。“(玛11:27)。在前往斐理伯的凯撒勒雅境内,耶稣挑战他的门徒,问道:“你们说我是谁?”(玛16:15)唯有当我们与耶稣有亲密和个人的关系,我们才能开始向天主所要揭示的,敞开心扉,并回答这个问题。“西满伯多禄回答说:‘祢是默西亚,永生天主之子。’耶稣回答他说:约纳的儿子西满,你是有福的,因为不是肉和血启示了你,而是我在天之父。”(玛6:16-17)。天主的真理往往超越人类的智力,只有当天主揭示它时,才能明白。而一旦揭示,我们必须作好接受的准备,就像在厄玛乌途中遇到复活基督的两个门徒。他们彼此说道,“当祂在路上与我们谈话,给我们讲解圣经的时候,我们的心不是火热的吗?” (路24:32)

 

天主圣言在圣神内成就

天主圣言和圣神关系密切。天使加俾额尔显现给圣母玛利亚并向她宣告,她被天主特别拣选为至高者的母亲(路1:32)。她不明白自己还是童贞女,如何能成为一个母亲。天使加俾额尔向她肯定说道:“圣神要临于你,至高者的能力要庇荫你。”(路1:35)。这就是永恒天主圣言,如何使“凡受造的,没有一样不是由祂而造成的”(若1:3),成了血肉,寄居在我们之间。(若1:14)经由圣神的大能:厄玛奴耳—天主与我们同在。(玛1:23)

同样的过程在弥撒圣祭中延续。司祭呼求圣神临于饼酒中,连同祝圣经文,圣神将这些元素转变成基督的圣体和圣血。圣神以相同的方式,内居在玛利亚胎中,圣言成为血和肉。因此,永恒的天主圣言-耶稣,临在并居住在我们内。有圣神的地方,就有天主圣言;有天主圣言的地方,就有圣神。

经由圣神的大能,天主圣言与玛利亚建立活生生的个人关系。如同玛利亚,我们必须开放接受圣神,让圣言在我们内成为血肉,即让天主向我们说话。玛利亚告诉天使加俾额尔说:“愿照你的话成就于我吧!”(路1:38)。当天主圣言被成就时,他释放固有的力量,这样我们的生命就会被触动、更新和充满新的能量和力量。原子必须分裂才能释放其能量。一瓶香水必须打开才能释放其芳香。无论我们怎么研究瓶子的外观并了解它的一切,如果不打开它,就没有香氛。天主圣言也是如此。我们需要圣神,让我们能够发掘和打开天主圣言隐秘的宝藏。就像玛利亚,她相信并默存一切在心中。当我们按照天主圣言行事时,他将释放其力量,使我们能够执行天主的旨意。

 

结论

“成为基督徒,其起点不在于一项伦理选择,或者一种崇高的理念,而是一个际遇,在人生中竟遇上一位赋予生命新境界的人,并由祂得到决定性的路向。”基督徒的生活不仅是功能性,且是关系性的。这是与生活的耶稣相遇,祂想要亲自并且密切地与我们联系,使我们能够从天主的观点来看一切事物,对所有事物有一个神圣的视角。祂要我们获得生命且获得更丰盛的生命。(若10:10)。在圣神的大能中,用心灵阅读圣经,将使我们与耶稣紧紧相系,使我们视祂所见、思祂所想、渴祂所望、感祂所受。如同伯多禄,让我们对祂说:“主!惟祢有永生的话,我们去投奔谁呢?”(若6:68)。

 

省思
  1. 我们与天主的关系如何? 是在功能性,或是关系性层面?为什么这对我们的基督徒生活和在教会中是重要的?
  2. 当我们阅读圣经时,我们与耶稣建立个人和亲密的关系。我们怎样才能通过 读经与耶稣这个人,在生活中相遇呢?
