耶穌宣揚的是愛的福音，


他教導猶太人不要死守著


摩西的十誡和法律，


更重要的是要隨時心存


法律背後的愛的精神。


因此惱怒了當時


猶太人宗教和政治的領袖，


終於走上了


被釘在十字架上的苦路。





受過許多苦難、羞辱、折磨的耶穌


因著他的受苦和復活，


讓我們在塵世中的人，


即使在最絕望的幽谷中


都還存有希望。


因爲耶穌答應過我們


他了解我們的痛苦，


他會一直陪伴住我們。





下個星期五（四月十日）是天主教和基督教


紀念耶穌受難的日子。


以這首黑人靈歌和大家分享。





福音上記載在耶穌被捕的時候，


他的門徒們驚慌得作鳥獸散，


最後只有他的愛徒若望（耶翰），


和幾位婦女門徒陪著耶穌的母親，


留守在十字架下。


這首歌問每個基督徒：


“耶穌被釘的時候，你在哪裏？”





Youtube 的是大提琴與鋼琴的合奏版，


每年我們教堂在耶穌受難的禮拜五儀式裏


都會由大提琴獨奏出這個曲子，


每次都叫我聼得澘然淚下





Were you there when they crucified my Lord?





Were you there when they crucified my Lord?


Were you there when they crucified my Lord?


Oh—O—O—Oh!


Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble.


Were you there when they crucified my Lord?





Were you there when they nailed him to the tree?


Were you there when they nailed him to the tree?


Oh—O—O—Oh!


Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble.


Were you there when they nailed him to the tree?





Were you there when they pierced him in the side?


Were you there when they pierced him in the side?


Oh—O—O—Oh!


Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble.


Were you there when they pierced him in the side?





Were you there when they laid him in the tomb?


Were you there when they laid him in the tomb?


Oh—O—O—Oh!


Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble.


Were you there when they laid him in the tomb?
