2013.08.07 活潑的生命:良心的基礎是建立在神的天平而非人的斗量。

「弟兄們,我在 神面前行事為人都是憑著良心,直到今日。」

在教會的紛爭中人人都憑著良心
保羅是這樣的思考法利賽人也是

但不同的認知與思考會有不同的結論
法利賽人是這樣想撒都該人是那樣想

所以法利賽人因著律法打了保羅的嘴
所以撒都該人因著傳統的認知與法利賽人爭論

大家都因著自我的良心而決定了每一件事
但是卻忘了自我的良心並不等於神的心意

是非對錯如何評斷
事情總是撲朔迷離

如果我們身在其中
是否我們會選邊站

保羅看似輕鬆的言論
事實上可能如坐針氈

若不是神與他同在
若不是神給他依靠

「放心吧!你怎樣在耶路撒冷為我作見證,也必怎樣在羅馬為我作見證。」

艱困的環境可能迫使人失去原本應有的良心
群眾的壓力可能迫使人選擇不應該有的選擇

願上帝幫助你我
清楚知道
我們所倚靠的是神而非人
我們所選擇的是神而非人

良心的基礎是建立在神的天平而非人的斗量


使徒行傳

22:30 第二天,千夫長為要知道猶太site人控告保羅photo的實情,便解開他,吩咐祭司長和全公會的人都聚集,將保羅photo帶下來,叫他站在他們面前。
But on the morrow, desiring to know the certainty wherefore he was accused of the Jews, he loosed him, and commanded the chief priests and all the council to come together, and brought Paul down and set him before them.

23:1 保羅photo定睛看著公會的人,說:「弟兄們,我在 神面前行事為人都是憑著良心,直到今日。」
And Paul, looking stedfastly on the council, said, Brethren, I have lived before God in all good conscience until this day.
23:2 大祭司亞拿尼亞就吩咐旁邊站著的人打他的嘴。
And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him to smite him on the mouth.
23:3 保羅photo對他說:「你這粉飾的牆, 神要打你!你坐堂為的是按律法審問我,你竟違背律法,吩咐人打我嗎?」
Then said Paul unto him, God shall smite thee, thou whited wall: and sittest thou to judge me according to the law, and commandest me to be smitten contrary to the law?
23:4 站在旁邊的人說:「你辱罵 神的大祭司嗎?」
And they that stood by said, Revilest thou God's high priest?
23:5 保羅photo說:「弟兄們,我不曉得他是大祭司;經上記著說:『不可毀謗你百姓的官長。』」
And Paul said, I knew not, brethren, that he was high priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of a ruler of thy people.
23:6 保羅photo看出大眾一半是撒都該site人,一半是法利賽人,就在公會中大聲說:「弟兄們,我是法利賽人,也是法利賽人的子孫。我現在受審問,是為盼望死人復活。」
But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Brethren, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees: touching the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.
23:7 說了這話,法利賽人和撒都該site人就爭論起來,會眾分為兩黨。
And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and Sadducees; and the assembly was divided.
23:8 因為撒都該site人說,沒有復活,也沒有天使和鬼魂;法利賽人卻說,兩樣都有。
For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit; but the Pharisees confess both.
23:9 於是大大地喧嚷起來。有幾個法利賽黨的文士站起來爭辯說:「我們看不出這人有甚麼惡處,倘若有鬼魂或是天使對他說過話,怎麼樣呢?」
And there arose a great clamor: and some of the scribes of the Pharisees part stood up, and strove, saying, We find no evil in this man: and what if a spirit hath spoken to him, or an angel?
23:10 那時大起爭吵,千夫長恐怕保羅photo被他們扯碎了,就吩咐兵丁下去,把他從眾人當中搶出來,帶進營樓去。
And when there arose a great dissension, the chief captain, fearing lest Paul should be torn in pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down and take him by force from among them, and bring him into the castle.
23:11 當夜,主站在保羅photo旁邊,說:「放心吧!你怎樣在耶路撒冷為我作見證,也必怎樣在羅馬photosite為我作見證。」
And the night following the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good cheer: for as thou hast testified concerning me at Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome.
