December 25, 2023 by Ken Yates in 聚焦恩典 - 《圣经》, 学习, 约西亚
毁掉神的话

在关于以色列和犹大国王的记载中,很少有虔诚的国王。其中有许多事件在现代读者看来有些奇怪。《列王记下》第 22 章就是其中之一。约西亚是少数敬虔的国王之一。当他还是一个年轻人时,他想修复年久失修的耶和华圣殿。在修缮时,人们发现了藏在殿中的 《律法书(Book of the Law)》。关于 《律法书 》指的是什么,众说纷纭,但都认为至少涉及摩西律法的一部分。也许是全部五本书,也许只是《申命记》。 无论它是什么,约西亚都不知道它的存在。在记载中,就连祭司们也不知道。他们很快就发现自己在遵守它的规定方面还差得很远。怎么会这样呢?作为耶和华圣殿所在的国家,作为上帝赐予律法的国家,怎么会不知道律法的内容呢? 也许打个比方就能说明这个说法有多奇怪。想象一下,在美国生活的人都不知道美国宪法。在史密森尼博物馆工作时,有人发现了一本副本。当人们读到这本宪法时,政府很快就认定我们没有遵守它。我们甚至无法想象这样的事情会发生。 这在犹大是如何发生的呢?首先,我们必须牢记,当时的《圣经》抄本很少。圣经必须手工抄写,只有一小部分人会读或写。只有国家的领导层才能确保人民知道上帝所说的话。在这一点上,领导层失败得一塌糊涂。在约西亚登基之前的五十七年里,有两个邪恶的国王统治着这个国家。上帝的话语被忽视了。神的话语没有读给百姓听。相反,这两个邪恶的国王却把人们引向对虚假偶像的崇拜。事实上,如果我们完全诚实的话,我们可以肯定,在许多情况下,《圣经》的抄本被故意销毁了。 这当然是撒旦的愿望。他希望上帝的选民远离上帝和祂的话语。在历史上,撒旦确实这样做过。例如,在过去,天主教会改变了用人们使用的语言来书写经文,代之以拉丁语。马丁·路德与这一趋势进行了斗争,他将《圣经》翻译成德文,以便本国的普通人能够理解。 在约西亚的记载中,这个国家发生的事情令人悲哀。对神的话语忽视导致犹大陷入混乱。几年后,犹大人被掳到巴比伦。 你对今天的情况有什么看法?参加我们教会活动的人对《圣经》的了解程度如何?上帝的话语似乎被忽视了吗?显然,我们的领袖并没有公然毁坏《圣经》,但可悲的现实是,很多很多基督徒自愿选择不读《圣经》。我们都听过这样一句话:拒绝阅读的人与不会阅读的人没有什么不同。这句话也适用于上帝的话语。上帝的话语就像被关进了壁橱,人们甚至不知道它的存在。 好消息是,上帝的话语总能存留。约西亚之前的国王们曾试图根除它。他们失败了。天主教会也是如此。主说,他的话语永不逝去。让我们阅读它,不要像约西亚时代的人们一样。
