622 不變的考驗

因為你們怎樣論斷人,也必怎樣被論斷。你們用什麼量器量給人,也必用什麼量器量給你們。(太七2

這句話不是信口開河的瞎猜,而是神永恆的定律。你怎樣論斷人,就得同樣的回報。報復與報應是不同的。耶穌說人生是以報應為本的--你用量器量人,人也必用什麼量器量你。你若善於挑剔別人,那你所得的也必如此。你付出多少,就收回多少。這定律是由神的寶座上頒下來的(詩十八25-26

羅馬書第二章對這定律更為肯定。其中說人批評別人,自己正犯了同樣的罪。神不單看外面的行為,更看人內心的動機。首先,我們不信聖經的話。試問我們真的相信所批評別人的,正是自己所犯上的罪嗎?我們所以能看見別人的虛偽、欺詐、虛浮,是因為我們自己心中也有這些東西。聖徒最大的特徵是謙卑--“是的,若不是神的恩典,這些東西或其他罪惡,都會發生在我身上,因此我無權批判。”

耶穌說:“你們不要論斷人,免得你們被論斷。”你若論斷人,神則必照你所論斷的量你。我們誰敢對神說:“我的神,請你照我論斷他人的判斷我吧”?我們判斷別人為罪人,若神也同樣判斷我們,我們早已在地獄了。可是,神卻透過耶穌基督奇妙的代贖來判斷我們。

祈禱◆噢,我只求得嘗禰的靈如風吹拂,或得驅策、或使蘇醒、或蒙釋放、或被感動,我就心滿意足了。


June 22 The Undeviating Test

For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged; and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.” Matthew 7:2

This statement is not a haphazard guess, it is an eternal law of God. Whatever judgment you give, it is measured to you again. There is a difference between retaliation and retribution. Jesus says that the basis of life is retribution – “with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.” If you have been shrewd in finding out the defects in others, remember that will be exactly the measure given to you. Life serves back in the coin you pay. This law works from God's throne downwards cf. Psalm 18:25-26.

Romans 2 applies it in a still more definite way, and says that the one who criticizes another is guilty of the very same thing. God looks not only at the act, He looks at the possibility. We do not believe the statements of the Bible to begin with. For instance, do we believe this statement, that the things we criticize in others we are guilty of ourselves? The reason we see hypocrisy and fraud and unreality in others is because they are all in our own hearts. The great characteristic of a saint is humility – Yes, all those things and other evils would have been manifested in me but for the grace of God, therefore I have no right to judge.
