場景:教堂裡面與外面
地點:教堂裡面
旁 白:在古老歐洲的一個小教會,每天都有人,去那裡向耶穌禱告。因為到這個教堂很靈,來到這裡禱告的人,他們的禱告,都蒙了上帝垂聽,所以每天都有人來禱告。
動 作:真耶穌站在十字架上,假耶穌在會堂擦桌子,這個時候財主進來,跪下來禱告,就出去了,換船員進來,又出去了。
假耶穌:親愛的耶穌,我作管會堂的工作,已經十幾年,每天都很無聊,我看你每天站在上面很辛苦,我很希望幫幫你,不然生活真的很無聊。
旁 白:這個時候,發生了很特別的事。
耶 穌:你真的想幫我,要來作我每天的工作嗎?
假耶穌:真的!我很想幫你。
耶 穌:我可以答應你的要求,但是只有一個條件,你不能說話,如果你說話,你就失去了這個資格。
假耶穌:只要不說話,這個工作太容易了,我一定可以作的到。
旁 白:於是真耶穌就變成「管會堂」的人,假耶穌就上到十字架上去。
旁 白:這個時候,有一位財主來到教會門口。
財 主:(在教堂外面)「有緣無緣大家來作伙,燒酒喝一杯..」(用唱的)。「今朝有酒今朝醉,明朝無酒明日愁」。我這個人只有一個「缺點」,這個「缺點」就是沒有什麼「優點」。已經走到到了教堂門口,我要進去,要正經一點。(動作:他進去跪著禱告)
旁 白:財主帶了一袋的金子,進入會堂。
財 主:親愛上帝感謝你,祝福我,今年給我賺這麼多的錢,讓我可以每天有酒喝,感謝你,我這樣的禱告,是奉耶穌基督的名。阿們!
旁 白:財主帶著醉意,就走出去了。
旁 白:當財主出去了以後,有一個乞丐進來。跪在十字架前禱告。
乞 丐:親愛的耶穌,我已經兩個禮拜沒喫飯了。如果我再沒有喫飯,我一定會餓死!求你幫助我給我飯喫,我這樣的禱告,是奉耶穌基督的名。阿們!
旁 白:乞丐一打開眼睛,看到一袋子的金子,帶著興奮快樂與感謝的心情。
乞 丐:親愛耶穌謝謝你!你實在是聽了我的禱告,謝謝你!
旁 白:乞丐帶著感恩的心,就走出去了。
旁 白:當乞丐出去之後,又有一個船員進來。跪在十字架前禱告。
船 員:親愛的耶穌,我感謝你,過去一直保守我,我今天要出海,求你讓我平平安安的去,平平安安的回來…
旁 白:當這個船員,正禱告到一半的時候,突然聽到「砰」的一聲,那個財主進來了。
財 主:你把我剛才放在這裡的一袋金子還給我…
船 員:我沒有拿你的「一袋金子」,我真的沒有。
財 主:你別裝了!這裡除了你以外,就沒有別人進來過,如果你不交出來,我就要告你,把你交給警察,告到你傾家蕩產..。
船 員:我真的沒有拿你的一袋金子。
旁 白:就在他們彼此爭論不休的時候…,站在十字架上的假耶穌說話了..。
假耶穌:不是這個船員拿的,我有看到是有一個乞丐拿走的,他剛走不遠,你去追他還來得急。
旁 白:財主聽了假耶穌的話,去追乞丐去了,船員也離開了會當準備坐船出海去。這個時候真耶穌對假耶穌說話了…。
耶 穌:你下來!你已經犯規了,你沒有資格在上面。
假耶穌:我又沒作錯什麼事?我出面說話,是解決了財主與船員的爭執,我是行公義,作對的事,難道有錯嗎?
耶 穌:你以為你很懂嗎?你以為你知道什麼?你知道嗎?財主有這袋錢,對他是沒有意義的,你知道他用這一袋的金子是要作什麼的嗎?他是要用這袋金子,去嫖妓。但是若把這袋金子給這乞丐,這乞丐有了這袋金子,最少他不會餓死,你知道嗎?船員今天要出海的這條船將會遇到船難,如果船員被財主難住了,就能躲開這個船難。
旁 白:這個故事,在告訴我們,上帝的意念,高過我們的意念,有時候我們自以為聰明,比上帝聰明,其實所有事情都在上帝掌管之中,我們不用為明天憂慮,我們只要把我們的問題,告訴耶穌,他會聽我們的禱告,帶領我們遠離許多的試探與兇惡。

"God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world."(Gal. 6:14)
THEY were living to themselves; self with its hopes, and promises and dreams, still had hold of them; but the Lord began to fulfill their prayers. They had asked for contrition, and had surrendered for it to be given them at any cost, and He sent them sorrow; they had asked for purity, and He sent them thrilling anguish; they had asked to be meek, and He had broken their hearts; they had asked to be dead to the world, and He slew all their living hopes; they had asked to be made like unto Him, and He placed them in the furnace, sitting by "as a refiner and purifier of silver," until they should reflect His image; they had asked to lay hold of His cross, and when He had reached it to them it lacerated their hands.
They had asked they knew not what, nor how, but He had taken them at their word, and granted them all their petitions. They were hardly willing to follow Him so far, or to draw so night to Him. They had upon them an awe and fear, as Jacob at Bethel, or Eliphaz in the night visions, or as the apostles when they thought that they had seen a spirit, and knew not that it was Jesus. They could almost pray Him to depart from them, or to hide His awfulness. They found it easier to obey than to suffer, to do than to give up, to bear the cross than to hang upon it. But they cannot to back, for they have come too near the unseen cross, and its virtues have pierced too deeply within them. He is fulfilling to them His promise, "And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me" (John 12:32).
But now at last their turn has come. Before, they had only heard of the mystery, but now they feel it. He has fastened on them His look of love, as He did on Mary and Peter, and they can but choose to follow.
Little by little, from time to time, by fitting gleams, the mystery of His cross shines out upon them. They behold Him lifted up, they gaze on the glory which rays from the wounds of His holy passion; and as they gaze they advance, and are changed into His likeness, and His name shines out throught them, for He dwells in them. They live alone with Him above, in unspeakable fellowship; willing to lack what others own (and what they might have had), and to be unlike all, so that they are only like Him.
Such, are they in all ages, "who follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth."
Had they chosen for themselves, or their friends chosen for them, they would have chosen otherwise. They would have been brighter here, but less glorious in His Kingdom. They would have had Lot's portion, not Abraham's. If they had halted anywhere-if God had taken off His hand and let them stray back-what would they not have lost? What forfeits in the resurrection?
But He stayed them up, even against themselves. Many a time their foot had well night slipped; but He in mercy held them up. Now, even in this life, they know that all He did was done well. It was good to suffer here, that they might reign hereafter; to bear the cross below, for they shall wear the crown above; and that not their will but His was done on them and in them.

基督曾說過:「我心柔和謙卑,你們當學我的樣式,這樣你們心裏就必得享安息。」這兒有雙重的真理,有忍耐、溫柔、謙卑和與神和好的美德,這與傚法基督或信靠祂有相同的意義;同時因著你有這些美德,可以完全脫離亞當墮落的本性而有信靠主高尚的行為。
連帶而有的福份,是因著脫離罪惡和對基督初步信仰、期望,受基督忍耐、溫柔、謙卑和與神和好的靈引導並管理;當你具有這些德性,你的生命就有目的,是真理和生命的基督才會在你裏面,你不再掌權,而是基督在你裏面活著。除非你願在忍耐、溫柔、謙卑和與神和好裏治死老我,否則神聖愛的靈,因無立足之地而不能在你裏面產生;而當你又為不忍耐、驕傲所困擾之際,馬上完全捨己,求神施恩幫助。當你遇到難處就促使與神親近,最能使你忍耐接受神的幫助,我們對神有多少信心和期望就可得多少的啟示。
「這些雖然很簡短,但是真正確的教義,使我們因賜下的救恩而真正完全順服神的啟示下,也真正宣告承認三而一的真神。」現在願你有個思想:完全將我的心靈獻上,單單尋求救恩,直接藉著溫柔、謙卑、忍耐和與神和好的力量,使我的生命有屬天的德性。
「並且要作這更大的事,因為我往父那裡去。」約翰福音十四章12節
祈禱不是叫我們適於那偉大的工作;祈禱本身就是偉大的工作。我們以為祈禱,是叫我們得到較高的能力,去應付神的工作。但按照耶穌基督的眼光看,祈禱是我本已救贖的奇蹟,藉著神的能力,同時也是別人救贖的奇蹟。結果子之方法,是祈禱,但須記取的,這種祈禱是建立在救贖的痛苦,不是建立於我的痛苦。一個小孩能獲得祈禱的答覆,一個聰明人反而得不著。
你無論在那裡祈禱總是一種戰爭。不管神製造環境的方法怎樣,本分就是祈禱。切不可如此作想──「我所在的地方,不見得有用;」因為你不在的地方,你必沒有有用。無論神安排你在那裡,祈禱,常常向祂祈禱。「你們若奉我的名求甚麼,我必成就。」(約十四13)我們不肯祈禱,我們得不著奮興,就不肯祈禱,那就是靈性自私的極度形態。我們要依照神的指導而勞動,但祂指導我們的是祈禱,「所以你們當求莊稼的主,打發工人出去,收祂的莊稼。
通常的工人對於工作,是沒有興奮的,但是成功通常是工作勞作出來的;同樣基督的概念,沒有那些勞苦的聖徒是不會發現的。你慇勤祈禱,從神的立場看,是無時不發生效果的。當帕子揭開,一種說不出的驚奇必然發現,你可以看出你是慣於接受耶穌基督的命令的,已經為祂收穫了不少的靈魂。
「……亞伯拉罕信神……」羅馬書四章3節
亞伯拉罕的信心是向著神本身的,他認識帶領他的神,所以他對神有絕對的信心。
亞伯拉罕一生的秘訣在於他與神的友誼。他所認識的神是一位偉大、良善、信實的朋友。無怪乎他能聽神的話,從他自身所愛的本家本族出來,走向一條未知的道路。
除了信靠神的話語,我們是否已學會把自己全然交給神呢?神有無限的愛及力量,祂是與我們立約的主並永遠的好朋友。
經上告訴我們,亞伯拉罕因著信心而榮耀了神。最能榮耀神的辦法,乃是讓世人看見神是誰,以及祂的大能力。神並不希望藉著我們所能做的事,讓世人知道祂能做什麼;神也不用那些有乖謬性格的器皿。相反的,祂一直在找尋那些謙卑的人,並用這些人在世世代代中榮耀祂。
