『哪知,祂為我們的過犯受害,為我們的罪孽壓傷。因祂受的刑罰,我們得平安;因祂受的鞭傷,我們得醫治。』
賽53:5
我每天晚上,上床睡覺之前,都做一些你或許你也會做的事;我鎖上門。當我騎摩托車上街,我也得很小心地將它鎖上。我已經旅行過世界上許多國家;但是,奇怪地,我一直沒有發現有那一個國家的人不把一些東西上鎖的,這是為甚麼?你為甚麼鎖上你的房子,你的腳踏車,你的金錢?
答案很簡單:人是不能信賴的。有人會闖入你的家;他們會偷你的錢;他們會騎走你的腳踏車。還有許多人也很想這樣做,他們之所以沒有做出這些事,只因他們怕被捉去懲罰。
每一年,我們耗費數以億計的金錢,用在假如人足以信賴便不需要的事上。試想想;我們必須持有車票,也必須有收票員,為甚麼?因為人是不誠實的。
假如不是為了車票的收售制度,可能人就會想不花錢搭火車。因為人不足信賴,我們便需要在街頭有警察,銀行有守衛;我們必須有數以千計的法律、律師和法官。我們必須維護法院,不僅如此,我們必須維持軍隊;因為,國家之間不能互相信賴。
所有這些我們已經接受很久的事實告訴我們,一個驚人的關於人類本性的事實。人染上了罪惡的天性,你在甚麼地方看到人,甚麼地方就有或多或少的罪惡。假如你向內觀看自己的心,你會發現甚至在你的裏面有這種病的證據。它不正是由憤怒、妒嫉、驕傲、錯誤的野心、色慾等等表現出來嗎?假如你誠實,你會同意說:「是的,這些事存在—甚至在我心中。」
所有這些意味着甚麼呢?上帝的話清楚地告訴我們說:「世人都犯了罪,虧欠了上帝的榮耀。」(羅馬書第三章廿三節)「他們都偏離正路,一同變為污穢,並沒有行善的,連一個也沒有。」(詩篇十四章三節) 耶穌基督為贖人的罪在十字架上死,你願意更進一步瞭解如何成為基督徒嗎?

A Strange sickness
『But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.』
Isaiah53:5
Every night before I go to bed. I do something which you probably also do. I lock the doors. When I ride my motorbike downtown I am very careful again to lock it up. I have travelled in many countries of the world but, strangely, I have never found a country where locks of some sort are not used. Now why is this? Why do you you’re your house, bicycle, your money?
The answer is simple. Man is not to be trusted. Men will break into your homes; they will steal your money; they will run away with your bicycle. And many more who would like to do these things do not do them only because they are afraid they will be caught and punished.
We spend billions of dollars each year on things that would not be necessary if man could be trusted. Think of it. We must have tickets and ticket collectors. Why? Because man is dishonest.
Were it not for tickets he would try to ride the trains without paying. Because man is not to be trusted we must have policemen at the street corners, guards in the banks; we must have thousands of laws, lawyers and judges. We must maintain courts, and more than that, we must maintain armies for nations cannot trust one another.
All of these facts which we have so long accepted, tell us a startling truth about human nature. Man is infected with an evil nature. Wherever you find man you find evil to some degree. If you look within your own heart you will find the evidence of this disease, even within you. Does it express itself in anger, jealousy, pride, wrong ambition, lust? If you are honest you will admit, “Yes, these things are present-even in my heart.”
What does ail this mean? God’s Word tells us very clearly. It says, “All have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” (Rom. 3:23) “They are all gone aside and they are all together become filthy, there is none that doeth good, no not one.” (Ps.14: 3)
It was as a sacrifice for man’s sin that Jesus Christ died on the cross. Would you like more information on how to become a Christian?
