是是誰 D+ 看世界~*

對照瑪麗亞與猶大這兩個人的作為
真的讓人感到無限的感傷

一個是將生命所擁有的為耶穌擺上
一個是將耶穌當成物品般的買賣

很多時候我們在教會當中
不知不覺地成為教會消費者而不自知
我們希望教會給予更多的給予
卻忘記應該給予的是自己的生命

在復活節即將到來的同時
讓你我思考著自己為耶穌擺上的是什麼
是貴重的香膏或是消費了耶穌

當你我將信仰變成一種消費品的時候
霎那之間就遺忘了原本的呼召與感動



馬太福音

26:6 耶穌在伯大尼長大痲瘋的西門家裡，
Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
26:7 有一個女人拿著一玉瓶極貴的香膏來，趁耶穌坐席的時候，澆在他的頭上。
There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat .
26:8 門徒看見就很不喜悅，說：「何用這樣的枉費呢！
But when his disciples saw it , they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?
26:9 這香膏可以賣許多錢，賙濟窮人。」
For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.
26:10 耶穌看出他們的意思，就說：「為甚麼難為這女人呢？她在我身上做的是一件美事。
When Jesus understood it , he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.
26:11 因為常有窮人和你們同在；只是你們不常有我。
For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.
26:12 她將這香膏澆在我身上是為我安葬做的。
For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial.
26:13 我實在告訴你們，普天之下，無論在甚麼地方傳這福音，也要述說這女人所行的，作個紀念。」
Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.
26:14 當下，十二門徒裡有一個稱為加略人猶大的，去見祭司長，說：
Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests,
26:15 「我把他交給你們，你們願意給我多少錢？」他們就給了他三十塊錢。
And said unto them , What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.
26:16 從那時候，他就找機會要把耶穌交給他們。
And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.
