西门：一个人得救的过程

许多人以为得救与否取决于拯救者，这是错误的认识。神爱世人，对人一视同仁。什么人他就能够救，多少人他都可以救；但你对真理不动心，他就不能救助你！
福音书里有一段记述：
“耶稣站在革尼撒勒湖边，众人拥挤他，要听神的道。（One day as Jesus was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret, with the people crowding around him and listening to the word of God,）他见有两只船湾在湖边。打鱼的人却离开船，洗网去了。（saw at the water's edge two boats, left there by the fishermen, who were washing their nets.）有一只船，是西门的，耶稣就上去，请他把船撑开，稍微离岸，就坐下，从船上教训众人。（He got into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, and asked him to put out a little from shore. Then he sat down and taught the people from the boat.）讲完了，对西门说，把船开到水深之处，下网打鱼。（When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon,‘Put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch.’）西门说，夫子，我们整夜劳力，并没有打着什么。但依从你的话，我就下网。（Simon answered,‘Master, we've worked hard all night and haven't caught anything. But because you say so, I will let down the nets.’）他们下了网，就圈住许多鱼，网险些裂开。（When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break.）便招呼那只船上的同伴来帮助。他们就来把鱼装满了两只船，甚至船要沉下去。（So they signaled their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink.）西门彼得看见，就俯伏在耶稣膝前，说，主阿，离开我，我是个罪人。（When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus' knees and said,‘Go away from me, Lord; I am a sinful man!’）
他和一切同在的人，都惊讶这一网所打的鱼。（For he and all his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken）他的伙伴西庇太的儿子，雅各，约翰，也是这样。耶稣对西门说，不要怕，从今以后，你要得人了。（and so were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, Simon's partners. Then Jesus said to Simon，‘Don't be afraid; from now on you will catch men.’《路加福音：5：》）”
在这个场景里，可以肯定西门等人是得救了，他们被真理所眷顾。那么，这动人的一幕究竟是怎么发生的呢？
对耶稣而言，救度众生并非难事；但对众生来说，能够接受救度，却是难事。难就难在他们能不能认识耶稣。请注意，这个问题非常严峻。认识真理，必须是主动的，而不能是被动的；一旦看到真相，人们就只能是被动接受了。当宇宙真理临世之际，你“能认识，你就能得度、得救。不能认识了，你就是无可救要了，就不能再要了。”
许多人以为得救与否取决于拯救者，这是错误的认识。神爱世人，对人一视同仁。什么人他就能够救，多少人他都可以救；但你对真理不动心，他就不能救助你！
这是铁的规则！
见到耶稣，西门险些哭了。他跪倒在救世主面前，喃喃不已：“我是个罪人。”
“我是个罪人”——西门并没有因利益而惊喜，反而因自己的内心龌龊而悔恨。
一个人真正看到了真理，他就必然知道自己是罪孽深重的；真理不是科学，不是知识，更不是财富，那些东西是不能拯救人的灵魂的。但当人看到真理时，他就知道自己如山的罪孽将被洗涤掉，这个罪人他能不激动吗？能不流泪吗？
一句“我是个罪人”，西门就得救了。看似简单，其实不简单。
这是一个真正的人，一个大写的人，这不是人人都能做到的。
