救恩的契机-基督徒对林俊遇害的反思
- 作者:关南
当碎灭生命成为暴虐游戏,
当高科技的网络和现代化的邮政成为邪恶飘荡的通道,
当举世震惊的叹息多于未泯良心的谴责,
当悲剧成为头版新闻的价值高过社会反响的价值,
当弑人者可以从容面对法律而无死亡之虞,
当社会关注的焦点在于悲剧事件的延续发展而不在于对社会肌体病因的思考,
当悲剧没有唤起社会个体对生活方式的省察,
当震惊之后的麻木逐渐融入社会的主流思潮,
当人们面对这一切而无动于衷和无能为力时,
林俊的亲人要问,
有良知的人们要问,
今天所有来参加聚会的人都要问:
生命在哪里?
公义在哪里?
安慰在哪里?
希望在哪里?
如此诸多的天问,归根结底,就是一问:救恩在哪里?
我们-一群来自中国的基督徒-知道,完美的答案就在圣经里。
救恩就在公义、慈爱、圣洁、怜悯和信实的主耶稣里。
除祂以外,别无拯救,因为在天上人间,没有赐下别的名,我们可以靠着得救。
主的意念高于我们的意念,祂的道路高于我们的道路。
我们不完全明白为什么公义的主容忍世上有邪恶,
但我们明白世上的邪恶驱使人心寻求神的国度。
我们不完全知道为什么慈爱的主允许生命悲剧的发生,
但我们知道这一人生命的失丧要警醒和拯救千万人。
我们不完全知晓圣洁的主管教我们的全部意义,
但我们晓得过荣神益人的圣洁生活是神的保守和看顾。
我们不完全理解为什么怜悯的主没有及时制止我们哀痛,
但我们的泪眼得见主耶稣在十架上以巨大的痛苦承担我们的软弱,用钉痕的手抚干我们的泪脸。
我们不相信世上能寻得真正的安慰,
但我们可以籍着祷告求得主耶稣赐下属天的安宁和平安。
我们不确定明天的日子将如何,
但我们求主复兴教会,围上慈绳爱索,伸出祂的杖和杆,抵御罪恶的试探。
我们不了解今天来参加聚会的朋友们来自哪里,
但我们确信这是主耶稣的旨意,要借着这个时刻,让我们在一起痛定思痛,摆脱罪恶的辖制,拥抱神的救恩。
这是救恩的契机,主耶稣要打开我们迷蒙的心眼向上仰望,聆听祂的呼唤:
天国近了,你们都要悔改!
OPPORTUNITY OF SALVATION
-Christian Reflection on Jun Lin’s Event
When the lost life became the violent game
When high-tech internet and modern
communication became the channel of evil shock
When a world-wide shocked sigh is more than
condemnation of the non-obliterate conscience
When front page news value is higher than
the value of social repercussions on this tragedy
When the killer could easily face the legal
proceedings without concerns about the death penalty
When the focus is the continuation of the
tragic event rather than the cause of social collective disease
When tragedy did not arouse introspection
of the individual’s lifestyle
When the numbness after the shock gradually
integrated into the mainstream of social thought
When indifference and powerlessness comes
from the state and society who face this event
The Jun Lin family will ask
The conscience of our people will ask
Today, those who attend this memorial will
ask
Where is a valued life?
Where is proper justice?
Where is deep condolence?
Where is hope?
So many questions, after all, become one
question: Where is salvation?
We, A group of Christians from China, know
the perfect answer in the Bible
Salvation remains only in justice, mercy,
holiness and faithfulness of our Lord-Jesus Christ
Neither is there salvation in any other:
for there is no other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be
saved
For as His thoughts are higher than our
thoughts, His ways higher than our ways
We do not understand why the Lord of
justice tolerates such evil in the world
But we know that the evil of this world
drives people to seek the kingdom of God
We do not know why a merciful God allows
such a tragedy to happen
But we know that the loss of one person’s
life will wake up and save the lives of millions of people
We do not know the full significance of
punishment from our Holy Lord
But we know a life of glorifying God and serving
human beings is truly an act of caring and conservation of God
We do not fully understand why the mercy of
the Lord did not promptly stop our sorrow
However, through the tears in our eyes, we
see the Lord Jesus sacrificed on the cross, to suffer great pain, to bear our
infirmities, while His nail-bruised hands lovingly wipe our tears away
We do not believe that in this world we can
find true condolence
But we know that our faithful Lord Jesus
will provide an abundant providence and a promise of eternal life
We are not afraid of life’s trials
But we pray our Lord revives the Church,
with His loving presence, stretches out His rod to resist the temptation of
evil
We do not know where you are from, dear
friends who attend this memorial
But we know that this is the will of the
Lord, He takes this moment to let us meet together to get rid of the control
and darkness of evil, and to embrace the salvation of the Lord
This is the opportunity of salvation. Our
Lord Jesus Christ let us open the covered heart to look upon, listening for His
call: saying, Repent Ye, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand

感谢神,今天,儿子和我一起坐在了这群基督徒中间,见证了这历史性的一幕。
更要感谢神的是,林俊父母这个时刻正坐在我的左右,近距离聆听到了这些声音。

回覆刪除匿名君,多谢您的留言。愿一切按主的心意成就!
刪除关南’s essay is to comfort the sufferees and to heal the wounds. However, the transition from “ … 当悲剧没有唤起社会个体对生活方式的省察,
回覆刪除当震惊之后的麻木逐渐融入社会的主流思潮,
当人们面对这一切而无动于衷和无能为力时,…”
to
"救恩就在公义、慈爱、圣洁、怜悯和信实的主耶稣里。
除祂以外,别无拯救,因为在天上人间,没有赐下别的名,我们可以靠着得救。"
appears abrupt and simplifying the complicate humanity (人性). Humanity in this secular world can be very complicated and requires some mechanism for conversion. 关南has mentioned the Biblical approach. Additionally, a true lessons-learned and repent from the web addiction and obsession would be helpful to minimize future recurrence of the bloody incidents. This should be consistent to what the Bible says, “哀慟的人有福了, 因為他們必得安慰.”(太 五 4).
If not, the cost is … just look the lower-48 of the U.S. where the bloody shooting rampage episodes continue.

SYH君,
回覆刪除您的观点应该说有一定的代表性。
也许我掌握的资料有限。就我了解到的信息,似乎没有证据证明林俊是网络成瘾者。他除了在大学念本科外,每周要去读小生意班,每天还要利用业余时间到杂货店打工,辛辛苦苦挣自己的学费和生活费。
生活在这个世代,各种高科技技术特别是网络在人们生活中的应用,加速了人们的生活节奏,也极大拓宽了人们的信息渠道,丰富和点缀了人们的生活。但与其他所有新技术一样,网络是双刃剑,它不可避免地也沦为了犯罪分子使用的工具。个人觉得禁网是不现实的,关键是如何有效而合理地进行网络管理和监控。涉及到个人,就是如何选择有益心身健康的网站和网友,如何合理安排控制自己花费在网络上的时间。
个人觉得关南文章是一篇很清晰、明确的基督徒宣言,宣讲的应该是来自上帝的声音。因为宣言主要是一些观念和纲领性的东西,未涉及及到枝末细节是可以理解的。
多谢您的留言带来的思考,欢迎继续探讨。
凡事以聖經為確據, 錯不了 :)
回覆刪除Annie,说得好!妳也有一阵没在这儿露面了,这一向可好?:)
刪除感谢主!终于见到一篇精辟感人的基督徒宣言。
回覆刪除若没有深厚的基督信仰,扎实的真理根基,和爱憎分明的灵命境界,是不会发得出此声的。
哈里路亚!
匿名君,您的总结也很精辟啊?谢谢!:)
