饒恕是人生中最困難的功課之一
或許在那一時以掃的心思充滿仇恨
但在經歷了二十年之久的沉澱
以掃的表現真的是超出雅各的想像

雅各之所以無法了解以掃的心思與作為
是因為恐懼勝過了他的心智
也是因為過分的猜測與自作聰明使然
對於未知的彼此是否能有真正的饒恕而相互猜忌

有時候我們也正經歷這樣的事件

在家庭中夫妻或是親人之間無法饒恕而彼此怨懟
結果造成一輩子的傷痛無無奈
在教會中會友之間或是牧長之間無法饒恕而彼此傷害
結果造成教會異象駐足不前

我們基於信仰都了解與知道饒恕的重要
但是卻因為過分的猜測與放不下
而導致所面對的家庭或是教會甚至是工作上的人際關係
一直停留在對方可能還在生氣或是可能還在對立的狀態
結果沒有任何的可能性會達到以愛彼此饒恕的結果

解鈴人還需繫鈴人
雅各知道要解決問題
他必須要去試試是否以掃已經饒恕了他
所以他不只將家人分了隊伍
也一次次的送上了誠心的禮物

愛的行動是和解的開始也是饒恕的根本
唯有誠實的愛能帶來彼此的信任與祝福

願上帝祝福你我
在人生當中充滿了愛的意念
當愛取代了自己所思維的一切時
沒有人是不能信任與饒恕的

你的饒恕是成就愛的最後一塊拼圖






創世記

33:1 雅各舉目觀看，見以掃來了，後頭跟著四百人，他就把孩子們分開交給利亞、拉結，和兩個使女，
And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau came, and with him four hundred men. And he divided the children unto Leah, and unto Rachel, and unto the two handmaids.
33:2 並且叫兩個使女和她們的孩子在前頭，利亞和她的孩子在後頭，拉結和約瑟在儘後頭。
And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindermost.
33:3 他自己在他們前頭過去，一連七次俯伏在地才就近他哥哥。
And he passed over before them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.
33:4 以掃跑來迎接他，將他抱住，又摟著他的頸項，與他親嘴，兩個人就哭了。
And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him: and they wept.
33:5 以掃舉目看見婦人孩子，就說：「這些和你同行的是誰呢？」雅各說：「這些孩子是　神施恩給你的僕人的。」
And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, Who are those with thee? And he said, The children which God hath graciously given thy servant. with...: Heb. to thee
33:6 於是兩個使女和她們的孩子前來下拜；
Then the handmaidens came near, they and their children, and they bowed themselves.
33:7 利亞和她的孩子也前來下拜；隨後約瑟和拉結也前來下拜。
And Leah also with her children came near, and bowed themselves: and after came Joseph near and Rachel, and they bowed themselves.
33:8 以掃說：「我所遇見的這些群畜是甚麼意思呢？」雅各說：「是要在我主面前蒙恩的。」
And he said, What meanest thou by all this drove which I met? And he said, These are to find grace in the sight of my lord. What...: Heb. What is all this band to thee?
33:9 以掃說：「兄弟啊，我的已經夠了，你的仍歸你吧！」
And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; keep that thou hast unto thyself. keep...: Heb. be that to thee that is thine
33:10 雅各說：「不然，我若在你眼前蒙恩，就求你從我手裡收下這禮物；因為我見了你的面，如同見了　神的面，並且你容納了我。
And Jacob said, Nay, I pray thee, if now I have found grace in thy sight, then receive my present at my hand: for therefore I have seen thy face, as though I had seen the face of God, and thou wast pleased with me.
33:11 求你收下我帶來給你的禮物；因為　神恩待我，使我充足。」雅各再三地求他，他才收下了。
Take, I pray thee, my blessing that is brought to thee; because God hath dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough. And he urged him, and he took it . enough: Heb. all things
