我 看 不 見 神! 「諸天述說神的榮耀,穹蒼傳揚祂的手段。自從創天地以來, 神永能和神性是明明可知的,雖是眼不能見,但藉着所造之 物就可以曉得,叫人無可推諉。」 ━聖
經 「愚頑人心裏說:『沒有神』。他們都是邪惡,行了可憎惡的事; 沒有一個人行善,都是偏離正路,一同變為無用;平安的路,他 們未曾知道。神就是愛,斷不喜悅惡人死亡,惟喜悅惡人轉離 所行的道而活。」
━聖 經 我看不見神! 蘇聯第一位太空人從太空回來以後說:「哦!我在太空上面,沒有看見甚麼神,所以神是不存在的。」後來,有人巧妙地說兩個比喻來回答他:『有一條蚯蚓,它從泥土中伸出頭來,離地三寸,看了幾看,後來回到洞中對同伴說:「我在地面上看不見赫魯曉夫(當時的蘇聯總理),所以世界上是沒有赫魯曉夫的。」』 另一個比喻說:「是的,你看不見神,是因為你戴着面罩,如果你把面罩揭開,你就立刻可以看見神了。」 在宇宙的小角落裏,想看見神,是多麼愚蠢的想法啊!榮耀偉大的神,祂在聖經中向世人宣告:「祂住在人不能靠近的光裏,是人未曾看見,也是不能看見的。」但神愛世人,祂藉着三方面來啟示自己對世人的愛和心意: (一)尊貴偉大的神,渺小的人怎能看見祂呢?: 但是,不可能看見的神,卻藉着祂所創造的宇宙萬物,將自己表明出來。從神所創造的宇宙中,我們可以看見神的偉大。人類最先進的光學望遠鏡,已經看到約一百五十億光年那麼遙遠的星星所發的光輝。我們看見偉大精細又奇妙的宇宙秩序:小至原子奇妙的構造,這事實告訴我們,有一位偉大的智慧者,在掌管整個宇宙。祂就是我們基督徒所稱為天父的神。 (二)世人看不見神,神是聖潔的,是因人類的罪,所以與神隔絕:
聖經是神給人類的一本天書,向人宣告祂自己的旨意和創造宇宙萬物的計劃。聖經的內容沒有和人們爭論神存在的問題,正如你我已經生存在這個世界,如果有人否認你我的存在,我們衹當他是瘋子,無需和他爭辯的。所以,聖經衹是說: 「神的事情，人所能知道的，原顯明在人心裏，因為神已經給他們顯明。自從造天地以來，神的永能和神性是明明可知的，雖是眼不能見，但藉着所造之物就可以曉得，叫人無可推諉。因為他們雖然知道神，卻不當作神榮耀他，也不感謝他，他們的思念變為虛妄，無知的心就昏暗了，自稱為聰明，反成了愚拙；將不能朽壞之神的榮耀變為偶像，彷佛必朽壞的人和飛禽，走獸，昆蟲的樣式。」(羅馬書1章19-23節) (注:所以,只有人類才有神的觀念,其他動物則無。) (三)人既故意不認識神,就放縱自己的情慾,貪行種種污穢罪惡的事: 所以神在聖經中向人宣告:「世人都犯了罪:罪的工價乃是死!」但祂愛世人,不願意看見人因不認識祂而犯罪死亡,所以祂「道成肉身」,到這個世界來做人,祂起名叫耶穌━祂就是神成了人,很具體的向世人表出神的慈愛,教導人認識神,將人帶回神的懷抱。最後,耶穌為世人的罪被釘死在十字架上,這就是義的代替不義的。祂死後埋葬了,第三日復活,在世上四十日後升天,回到天家,祂揀選的門徒將這好消息傳遍天下,以後祂還要回來掌權,敗壞魔鬼一切的權勢。那時,世上的人才真正有平安喜樂的日子臨到。因為神與人同在,人生活在神的家中,享受祂的愛。 F你願意與神恢復和好的關係嗎? 你願意自己的罪得以塗抺嗎? 你願意得着永恆的生命嗎? |

I CAN NOT SEE GOD! “The heavens are telling the glory of God;
and the firmament proclaims his handiwork. Ever since the
creation of the world his
invisible nature, namely, his eternal power and deity, has been clearly perceived in the things that
have been made. So they are without
excuse.” ━HOLY BIBLE “The fool says in his heart, “There is
no God.” They are corrupt, and their way are vile; there is on one who
does good, all have turned away, they have together become
worthless, and the way of peace they do not
know. God is love, no pleasure in the death of wicked, but
rather that they turn from their ways and lives.”
━HOLY
BIBLE I CAN NOT SEE GOD! You
may probably still remember what the first Russian cosmonaut said after his
return to earth – “Oh, when I was up in space, I didn't see God! Therefore,
God does not exist.” On hearing this, a preacher made a comparison to an
earthworm which squirmed out of a hole, stretched his head up, scanned around
and then withdrew into the hole to inform his companions, saying, “I have
looked around on the earth but did not see Khrushchev (the then Premier of
USSR)... so, I can say that there is no Khrushchev in the world.” To
think that you can see God by peering out from a miniscule dot in the
universe! How foolish! The Bible says that God cannot be seen even in the
highest heaven. And yet, God, who is invisible, reveals Himself in nature and
in all His creations. We can see the greatness of God in His created universe. Through
telescopes, we can now see light emitted by stars about 15 billion light
years away. We can ponder and marvel at the beauty and precision with which
God created everything. The heavens are declaring the glory of God and
attribute their existence to Him. The Bible, a book from heaven, was given to mankind by God. Its
contents do not touch on the issue concerning the existence of God, simply because
God does exist. For instance, you and I are alive. If someone comes up to us
and insists that we do not exist, we would think he was crazy. There is
nothing to argue, we exist. The Bible states that, “Because that which may be known of
God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it
unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are
clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal
power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Since
men do not acknowledge God, they give themselves over to degrading passions
and do things that are wicked and sinful. Because God is a holy God, He is
compelled to punish sin, and whoever has sinned, must die. But God, abounding
in love and mercy, cannot suffer to see men perish in Hell. This is why He
sacrificed His only Son for us... that we may have eternal life and enjoy a relationship of love with Him. F Would you like to have a personal relationship with God? Would you like to have your sins forgiven? Would you like to have eternal life? |
