引言 今天是2022年的主日,感谢主,我们可以在这里敬拜,也问候线上敬拜的人,主的平安与诸位同在。 今年的主题是丰盛生命,在丰盛生命里有一个部分是属于感觉上/精神上的。一个人如果只有物质的丰富,却没有亲情,友情,爱情,那你觉得这个是一个full life/丰富的人生吗?2017做了马太区区牧之后,我开始探访区内的老人家,特别是那些多年因为身体不好无法来教会的老人。有一位到了90岁,头脑还是很精灵,她重新听到福音之后,所讲述的人生故事就开始不一样了。最后一个版本是这样的,3岁丧母,可是父亲很疼爱她。等到媒人来说媒的时候,父亲想把她许配给富有的人家当二房或者三房,她都拒绝了。她说“我要跟一个爱我的人在一起,就算生活很辛苦,我也甘心。我有两只手,我可以努力。”父亲很疼爱她,也就依了她。婚后丈夫很专一,也很尊重她。由于靠丈夫一份薪水不足以维持,所以她就一家一家敲门,找洗衣的工作,她把衣服带回来洗,洗衣的时候,孩子就留在家里,没有跑到外面去玩,要送衣服回去的时候,孩子就跟着她。回顾人生,她感到人生里的满足,因为丈夫依着她,让孩子无论男女,都去读书,后来她也让孩子到教会去。过后他们夫妇也信主了。 这一次预备雅歌的讲道时,脑海里回忆起这位老人家,她已经安息主怀,在那个物资不富裕、许多家庭里经济很紧张的时代,她选择了爱情,而不是衣食无忧,然后一生无悔,到最后觉得这就是她要的人生,她极其感恩。 有些人给人家的印象,一看就是支持婚姻和家庭的,当你遇到这样的人的时候,相信你也很快会发现。我也鼓励我的孩子,如果去了哪个同学家里,发现他们家里气氛很好,就多一些去这样的家庭坐坐,感染他们的气息,学习他们的说话。 幸福的家庭都是相似的,不幸的家庭各有各的不幸~ 托尔斯泰 今天的讲道,就是带着一个希望,希望能够让雅歌来开拓关于爱情的见识。这不是爱情大全,但是我发现它本身带着一种积极的感染力,让我们对于不熟悉的范畴,可以有一个认知。我必须说,对于爱情,我所认识的也有限,只有造我们的上帝对这样的事知道得很深。 经文:雅歌2:1-3:11 当你想到爱情的时候,你想到的是什么?你的答案很可能跟你的年龄,或者经历有关。 有些人觉得爱情是盲目的,有些人认为还是稳打稳扎的感情发展才比较安全,从雅歌1章起到3章所描述的爱情跟眼睛很有关系,但是两个人看见什么? 1. 看见对方 2. 被对方吸引 3. 希望对方看见自己 4. 希望能够在一起 5. 情绪容易波动(被一句话,风吹草动。不相干的事,都会挑动心情) 6. 想象力丰富 雅歌是诗,希伯来文出现的“你”可以显出对方是男性还是女性。 我虽平凡,但是希望你看见我 1我是沙崙的玫瑰花, 是谷中的百合花。 2我的佳偶在女子中, 好像荊棘裏的百合花。…
