I. 引言 再过区区4天,我们便要告别2014步入一个新的年度。在这个日新月异的时代里,相当我们都将在新的一年里看到并得去学习适应一些新的东西。好些所谓’旧的’,无论是有形的用品或无形的事物,比如一些固有的想法和做法,都可能被取代而成为过去。但无论我们怎么更换和改变,不变的将是我们总希望明天会更好,盼望全家大小都更为有福。 说到福分,时间杂志在两年前曾刊登一篇关于一名年轻的中国籍男子在2009年开办了一个名为‘北京超跑俱乐部’的文章。‘超跑’显然不是指俱乐部的成员都是超喜欢跑步或跑得超快的人,而是成员们都拥有超级跑车:法拉利,兰博基尼和其他品牌的名车。据报道,俱乐部的创办人本身便是拥有好多台的超级跑车。 这位拥有多台名车的男士有什么话说?在受访时他说,“我和我父亲时代的人所追求的东西不一样。对父亲来说,享受,就是能够全家人聚在一块。至于我这个时代的人,我们总是向往着接下来将购买、将获得的东西。得到多一件,多两件,多很多件想要的东西,正是我们表达自己和梦想的方式。” 能不断地购买、拥有和享受,拥有多台超跑的受访者说,就是福分。弟兄姐妹,我们同意这个观点吗?受访者所谓的‘好’,我们能够认同。但他所谓的好,也是我们对福分的定义吗?圣经有什么话说? II. 虚心的现代人 (3至6节) 马太福音5章所记载的“虚心的人有福了”和“哀恸的人有福了”是很多信主的弟兄姐妹,甚至好些不信主的人都懂得背诵的经文。可仔细一看,这些熟悉的经文却又不是那么直接易懂。它们甚至和一贯的理解和价值观有着相当大的冲突。类似“你的房子好大,你真是有福气。” “你子孙满堂,真是有福气。”等祝福的话我们时常听到并不觉奇怪。 那么,有没有人会很理智并不带任何中伤人的心态说,“当你走到穷途末路的时候,你有福了”( “You’re blessed when you’re at the end of your rope. ”)? 或是“当失去你的最爱的时侯,你有福了” (“You’re blessed when you feel you’ve…
