今天要跟大家分享的是,關於“失去”與“相信”。我想聊聊兩年多前看的一部電影復仇者聯盟 3 無限之戰,當時看這部電影的時候,聯想到那位非得要戳到耶穌傷口才相信耶穌已經復活的“多馬”,於是當時我把感覺紀錄下來,作為給自己的安慰與提醒。
我問自己,我們一定要觸碰到神才能相信嗎?我們現階段人生中的失去,是真的失去嗎?雷神在上一集失去了他的右眼和他最重要的武器“槌子”在復仇者聯盟3裡面,一開始他的星球被毀。族人死光光,近乎滅族。但後來雷神得到新的眼球。還得到了比上一把更具威力的槌子
美國隊長在上一集當中失去了盾牌(也是他手上最重要的武器)在這一集。他得到來自瓦干達的黑豹國王贈予的更厲害材質的科技盾牌,他另一位失去手臂的戰友也得到了全新的科技手臂。
鋼鐵人那個全世界最帥的有錢人就沒什麼好提的。他全身配備就是一直都是升級。更升級。再升級。
我看著復仇者聯盟想著自己這些年的“失去”在感情裡摔跤跌倒,如今得到更適合自己的伴侶,去年我們還登記了結婚。在工作裡磕磕碰碰,跟股東撕裂拆夥,賠錢失去了舊公司,成立新公司,一路走來真的很辛苦,但業績每年都在成長。
失去公司的7人座大休旅車,買了一台小休旅車更省油也好停車,這幾年之中,我甚至還失去使用多年的工作室。
但,好奇妙,這一切都變成“升級”的版本,重新再回到了我的手上,原本因為習慣而捨不得的那些失去,後來上帝都為我預備了實際上更適合我的,甚至於更有力量的。上帝給我的不只是Update而是Upgrade
各位親愛的弟兄姊妹,我們要一直保持信心的能量,好與我們未看見的那些不安拉鋸。我們不是準備好勇氣才出發的,而是在追求夢想的過程中上帝不斷的不斷的給足了我們勇氣,因為耶穌說那沒看見就信我的人,有福了,阿們
Today I would like to share about loss and faith. I wish to talk about a movie I watched about two years ago, which is Avengers 3 – Infinity War. When I was watching this movie, I thought of Thomas, who had to touch Jesus’ wound before he believed in Jesus’ resurrection, so I recorded my feeling, and made it my comfort and reminder.
I asked myself, do we need to touch God before believing? Is the loss we experience in this stage of life really a loss? In the previous episode of Avengers 3, Thor lost his right eye and his most important hammer. Right at the beginning, his planet was destroyed and his people all died, and were nearly completely destroyed. However, Thor later received a new eye and a more powerful hammer.
Captain America lost his shield in the previous episode (which was his most important weapon), but in this episode, he received an shield which is made of a more powerful material from the Jaguar King of Uganda. Another team mate of his lost an arm but received a brand new artificial arm.
Iron Man, who is the most handsome rich man needs no mentioning. His whole suit is always being upgraded and further upgraded.
When I was watching Avengers, I thought of those years that I had loss when I “fell” from my relationship and today, I have a more suitable partner. Last year, we even got married. In the workplace, I had many challenges, from separation with business partners, loss of money and my old company, to starting a new company. It has been a difficult journey, but the profit has been growing each year. I lost the company’s 7 seater car but bought a smaller car which saves more petrol. This year, I even lost the workspace that I had for many years.
However, miraculously, all these turned into upgrades and returned to my hands. The original things that I got used to and were painful losses, later became even more suitable things that were prepared for me by God, even to the extent of being more helpful. God gave me not only updates, but upgrades.
Dear brothers and sisters, we need to hold on to our faith, and stay aware from the unseen worries that we may have. We are not setting off because we have first armed ourselves with courage, but rather give ourselves courage during the journey of pursuing our dreams. This is because Jesus said that blessed are those who have not seen yet believed. Amen!
