恢復形象
「又願你們的靈,與魂,與身子得蒙保守,在我主耶穌基督降臨的時候,完全無可指摘!」(23節)
經文
帖撒羅尼迦前五12-28
12弟兄們,我們勸你們敬重那在你們中間勞苦的人,就是在主裡面治理你們、勸戒你們的。
13又因他們所作的工,用愛心格外尊重他們。你們也要彼此和睦。
14我們又勸弟兄們,要警戒不守規矩的人,勉勵灰心的人,扶助軟弱的人,也要向眾人忍耐。
15你們要謹慎,無論是誰都不可以惡報惡;或是彼此相待,或是待眾人,常要追求良善。
16要常常喜樂,
17不住的禱告,
18凡事謝恩;因為這是神在基督耶穌裡向你們所定的旨意。
19不要銷滅聖靈的感動;20不要藐視先知的講論。
21但要凡事察驗,善美的要持守,
22各樣的惡事要禁戒不作。
23願賜平安的神親自使你們全然成聖!又願你們的靈與魂與身子得蒙保守,在我主耶穌基督降臨的時候,完全無可指摘!
24那召你們的本是信實的,他必成就這事。
25請弟兄們為我們禱告。
26與眾弟兄親嘴問安,務要聖潔。
27我指著主囑咐你們,要把這信念給眾弟兄聽。
28願我主耶穌基督的恩常與你們同在!
信息分享
讓我們繼續來默想「平穩和完整地」看待生命的重要性。我認為,不是基督徒的人不能完整地看待生命。為甚麼呢?因為他們只在自然的層面來思考,這樣怎能有一個全面的態度去看待生命?我們該知道,自然性的思考只是片面而不是完整的。
以醫藥為例,上一個年代的醫生一般都只是診治病人所提及的病徵,但是現在他們自理解精神對身體健康有多大的影響以後,就知道這種做法不夠全面。一位醫生說:「醫學界終於發現病人本身才是重要焦點。」今天的醫藥正在迅速的朝「全人」方向發展,因為越來越多醫生逐漸明白他們不能只診治表徵,必須醫治病人本身,可惜直至目前為止他們仍未能全然考慮到人的靈性因素,希望那是指日可待的事。
基督教在心理輔導業方面也面對同一個問題,那就是他們沒有看到整幅的圖畫。我對一部份基督教的心理輔導書籍感到相當失望,因為它們只提出問題的一面,從而建議採用某一種特別技巧,以為這便能把問題解決。可是,神所創造的人本是完整的,所以除非人的每一部分都得到醫治,包括靈、魂和身體,否則他永遠都不能恢復完整。神要恢復祂在我們裡面的形象:不只是一個部分,而是完整的我們。
「神要恢復祂在我們裡面的形象」

1. 人原本是怎樣的?
2. 保羅的見證是甚麼?
祈禱
天父,求您赦免,因為我們往往是片面地而不是全面地看事物。求您賜我屬靈的智慧,讓我能夠以您的角度 ──「完整」的觀點來看待事物。奉耶穌的名祈求,阿們。
Day 222
Restoring the image
"May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ." (v.23)
Bible reading:
1 Thessalonians 5:12-28
12 Now we ask you, brothers and sisters, to acknowledge those who work hard among you, who care for you in the Lord and who admonish you.
13 Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work. Live in peace with each other.
14 And we urge you, brothers and sisters, warn those who are idle and disruptive, encourage the disheartened, help the weak, be patient with everyone.
15 Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always strive to do what is good for each other and for everyone else.
16 Rejoice always,
17 pray continually,
18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
19 Do not quench the Spirit.
20 Do not treat prophecies with contempt
21 but test them all; hold on to what is good,
22 reject every kind of evil.
23 May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
24 The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it.
25 Brothers and sisters, pray for us.
26 Greet all God's people with a holy kiss.
27 I charge you before the Lord to have this letter read to all the brothers and sisters.
28 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
Message
We continue meditating on the importance of looking at life "steadily and whole". I venture to suggest that people who are not Christians are unable to see life as a whole. How can they, when their thinking takes place only on the level of the natural? Natural thinking is notoriously partial and incomplete.
Take, for example, the field of medicine. A generation ago doctors treated the symptoms that people presented to them, but now, with a clearer understanding of how the mind affects physical health, they have come to see that this approach was partial. One doctor said: "At long last the medical profession has discovered that the patient himself is important." Medicine is fast moving towards what is described as a "holistic" approach as more and more doctors begin to realise that it is not enough to treat the problem, we must also treat the person. They are still far from seeing that there is also a spiritual element in the person that has to be considered, but perhaps in time that will come.
Christian counselling suffers from the same problem - it does not see the whole picture. I am tired of reading books on Christian counselling that give just one side of the issue and suggest that problems can be resolved by applying one special technique. Man was created as a whole person and he will never be helped back to wholeness unless every part of his being is treated - spirit, soul and body. God wants to restore His image in us: not in part of us but in the whole.
"God wants to restore His image in us"
Prayer
O Father, forgive us that so often we settle for the half view of things rather than the whole. Quicken my spiritual understanding so that I have Your view on all things - the "whole" view. In Jesus' Name I ask it. Amen.
