堵住破口

这些日子，教会周五上午的查经班正在查考《哥林多前书》。值得我们注意的是，圣经中指出，教会可能面对的最基本，最常见，也可能是最可怕的问题，竟是“嫉妒纷争”！圣经指出，解决此问题的根本在于通过基督十字架，使我们的生命在祂里面彻底更新。在此基础上，再加上基督真理的指引，圣灵的光照，谨慎、警醒祷告等，如此才能“竭力保守圣灵所赐合而为一的心。”（弗 4:3）

回想人类的历史，很多的悲剧都是从一个“挑拨离间”开始的。起初神所创造的一切是何等的美好。然而，我们的祖先却经不住蛇对女人所说的一句“挑拨离间”的话！因为夏娃没有谨慎、警醒，没有凭信心立刻拒绝蛇的“好意”，竟轻易地给那恶者留下了进一步攻击的“破口”，以致导致了亚当犯罪，一切人类全部灵性死亡的可怕后果。因此，圣经说：“耶和华所恨恶的有六样，连祂心所憎恶的共有七样：就是：1）高傲的眼、2）撒谎的舌、3）流无辜人血的手、4）图谋恶计的心、5）飞跑行恶的脚、6）吐谎言的假见证、并7）弟兄中布散分争的人。”（箴 6:16-19）因此，神曾借圣经多次多方提醒神的儿女，甚至明确地写在律法里：“不可随伙布散谣言，不可与恶人连手妄作见证。”（出 23:1）然而直到今日，这样的恶事仍然不断发生：恶人制造谎言和假见证；借那些爱搬弄是非的人往来传播，制造纷争，离间弟兄，毁坏教会宝贵的合一！

看哪，主耶稣，天国的王宣告说：“使人和睦的人有福了！因为他们必称为神的儿子。”（太 5:9）诗篇中也说：“耶和华啊！谁能寄居你的帐幕？谁能住在你的圣山？就是行为正直，作事公义，心里说实话的人；他不以舌头谗谤人，不恶待朋友，也不随伙毁谤邻里的人。”（诗 15:1-3）

所以，亲爱的弟兄姊妹，我们是怎样的人呢？是随伙散布谣言、制造纷争的人呢？还是行动正直，使人和睦，建造教会的人呢？我相信我们都会选择后者，其实这是一个很现实摆在我们面前的挑战。圣经教训我们说：“弟兄们，那些离间你们，叫你们跌倒，背乎所学之道的人，我劝你们要留意躲避他们。”（罗 16:17）让我们同心努力，靠主的恩典中所赏赐给我们的信心和勇气，堵住破口，不让人利用我们的善良而毁坏我们。主说：“为义受逼迫的人有福了！因为天国是他们的。”（太 5:10）阿们！
