他們既抗拒、毀謗，保羅就抖著衣裳，說：「你們的罪（原文是血）歸到你們自己頭上，與我無干（原文是我卻乾淨）。從今以後，我要往外邦人那裡去。」

每每讀到這經文總是有無限的感慨
原本猶太人可得著的福分
在抗拒與毀謗中消失的無影無蹤
但神的意思是好的
要讓福音進入到外邦人之中

這讓我想起了現在日益壯大的教會
面對這世代的轉變與科技的發達
他們勇敢的接受時代的挑戰
以新的方式傳揚福音
也調整了新的方式來禮拜與敬拜
如果他們抗拒與毀謗過去傳統的做法
那至此怎會日漸壯大
我相信神的心意是好的
祂不要我們停留在過去
而是向祂所彰顯的世代走去

猶太人之所以會抗拒與毀謗
莫過於害怕改變所帶來的未知影響力
那是挑戰了他們原有的權利與權柄
也是失去了他們原有的舞台
那當今教會所抗拒與毀謗的又為何呢

若神已經預備好了時代性的教會該有的方向
我怎可抗拒與毀謗在這其中的一切呢

願神提醒我以猶太人為前車之鑑
放手並接受即將面對的一切改變
