Don't Let The Poor Sleep Without His Pledge
W1 2010-12-27 (申24:1-25:19)
經文: 申命記 24:18 要記念你在埃及作過奴僕。耶和華你的神從那裡將你救贖,所以我吩咐你這樣行。
默想:耶和華一直要以色列人記住自己曾在埃及作過奴僕,因此,對於落難弱勢者要格外的顯出恩慈。求主幫助我,也能常存這樣的恩慈。
題目:你對於本段經文中有關貧窮弱勢者應有的恩慈表現有什麼感想呢?

回覆刪除ANS:Charity 是聖經很重要觀念。應用在現在稍微有點複雜。我認為基本上我們可以做的有二:1不用詭詐待人或欺負人 2待人厚道。至於主動幫助人,我主張要有智慧,譬如在鬧市看到路旁有外觀非常可憐的人,全身躺在地上乞討,或於餐廳吃飯進來賣文具的人,要不要幫助?我傾向不回應。
大家平安
回覆刪除「困苦窮乏的雇工,無論是你的弟兄或是在你城裡寄居的,你不可欺負他。要當日給他工價,不可等到日落...。」(24:14-15)可做為眾"雇主"們最近發年終的參考。
Dear All, Peng An,
回覆刪除Empathy is one great gift for human being from God. We can try to think as we were at a different position to understand their feelings. However, we don’t want to use this gift because of our selfish. We think our position are better than others, especially better than poor guys. So, we cannot change our position to others. But I think how to treat poor guys can reflect his relationship with God. “Because you did it to the least of these my brothers, you did it to me. “
Stephen
The Lord orders that His people treat the less-privileged equally instead of regarding them as lazy or incapable. He also claims that we cannot take advantage of those who are poor and needy.

照你從主那兒領受愛的程度來回應就好,絕不可勉強,甘心樂意,用愛來關心他們,就是最合宜的恩慈表現啦。
