法利賽人精心維護的宗教形象,在耶穌眼中卻是「粉飾的墳墓」。今天的教會也可能落入同樣的危機:用華麗的敬拜編排掩蓋內在的枯乾,用熱鬧的團契活動取代真實的相交。耶穌痛心的,是宗教制度竟被人扭曲成逃避責任的盾牌。今天的信徒也可能用「教會服事」合理化對家庭的冷漠,或用「屬靈話語」包裝內心的苦毒。當我們高舉事工的果效時,是否也正在忽略身邊最需要被愛的人?
The religious image that the Pharisees carefully maintained was, in Jesus’ eyes, nothing more than “whitewashed tombs.” The church today can fall into the same danger: using polished worship arrangements to cover inner dryness, or replacing genuine fellowship with busy church activities. What grieved Jesus was the way a sacred religious system could be distorted into a shield for avoiding human responsibility. In the same way, believers today may use “church ministry” to justify emotional neglect at home, or wrap inner bitterness in spiritual language. As we celebrate the effectiveness of our ministries, are we also overlooking the people around us who most need to be loved?
