亞當、夏娃感謝神親手做衣服給他們穿
Accompaniment: The scene painted in the Bible “God’s command to Adam” is both touching and heartwarming. Although the picture contains only God and man, the relationship between the two is so intimate we start to feel wonder, wonder and admiration.
1. God’s love overflowing is freely given to man, God’s love is around him. Man, innocent and pure, without a care to tie him down, lives in bliss in the eyes of God. God takes care of man, and man lives under His wings. All that man does, all his words and deeds, are bound up with God, can’t be apart.
2. From the first moment God created the human race, God had them in His charge. What kind of charge is that? It’s for Him to protect man and to watch over man. He hopes for man to trust in, to trust in and obey His words. This was the first thing God expected of the human race.
3. Bearing this first hope, God spoke the following words: “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, good and evil, you shall not eat of it: for in the day that you eat thereof you shall surely die.” These simple words, standing for God’s will, show that concern for man was already in His heart.
4. So, in these simple words, we see what’s in God’s heart. Is there love in His heart? Isn’t there care and concern? God’s love and care is something that can be both felt and sensed. If you are a person of conscience and with humanity, you will feel warm, being cared for and loved, you will feel blessed with happiness.
5. When you feel these things, how will you act towards God? Will you cleave to Him? Will reverential love, will reverential love not grow in your heart? Will your heart draw close to Him? From this we see, how important God’s love for man is. But even more important than this is that man can feel and comprehend God’s love.
from “God’s Work, God’s Disposition, and God Himself (1)” in A Continuation of The Word Appears in the Flesh
神的話說：「在『耶和華神為亞當和他妻子用皮子做衣服給他們穿。』這幅圖畫當中，我們看到的神是以一個什麼樣的身分與亞當、夏娃在一起呢？在只有兩個人的世界當中，神是以一個什麼樣的身分出現的呢？是以神的身分出現的嗎？香港的弟兄姊妹回答。（是以父母親的身分。）韓國的弟兄姊妹，你們認為神是以什麼樣的身分出現的？（一家之主。）臺灣的弟兄姊妹說說。（以亞當、夏娃家裡人的身分，親人的身分。）有的人認為神是以亞當、夏娃親人的身分出現，有的人說神是以一家之主的身分出現的，還有的人說是以父母親的身分出現，這些都很貼切。但是我想說的是什麼呢？神造了這兩個人，神把他們當作伴侶，作為他倆唯一的親人，照顧他們的生活，也照顧他們的衣食住行。在這裡神是以亞當、夏娃的父母親的身分出現的。在神作的這件事情當中，在人眼中看不到神的高大；看不到神的至高無上；也看不到神的神祕莫測；更看不到神的烈怒威嚴；只看到了神的卑微、神的慈愛，看到了神對人的牽掛、對人的責任與呵護。神對待亞當、夏娃的態度與方式就如人的父母牽掛他們的兒女一樣，也如人類的父母疼愛、照顧、關心他們的兒女一樣，實實在在，看得見、摸得著。神並不以自己高大的地位自居，而是親自用皮子給人類做衣服穿。這件皮衣不管是用來遮羞也好，還是禦寒也好，總之，神是在親自作、親手作這件事情，而不是像人想像中的神用意念或者是顯神蹟的方式來做一件衣服遮住人的身體，而是實實在在地作了一件人類認為神不能作也不該作的事。這件事雖然簡單，甚至人認為不值得一提，但是又讓所有跟隨神曾經對神充滿了渺茫想像的人見識到了神的真實、神的可愛，看到了神的信實與他的卑微。讓那些自認為高大不可一世的狂妄之徒在神的真實與卑微面前自覺羞愧，低下了他們高昂的頭。在此，神的真實與神的卑微更讓人看見神的可愛，相比之下，人心中的「高大」的神、「可愛」的神、「無所不能」的神卻變得如此渺小、醜陋與不堪一擊。當你看到這句話的時候，當你聽到這件事的時候，你會因為神作了一件這樣的事而藐視神嗎？有些人也許會，但是有些人恰恰相反。他認為神是真實的，神是可愛的，正是神的真實與可愛感動了他。他越看到神真實的一面，越能體會到神愛的真實存在，體會到神在人心裡的分量，體會到神時時刻刻都在人的身邊。」摘自《話在肉身顯現（續編）》 |
