| 當別人問我:"萬聖節好玩嗎?"﹐我只會說"我不慶祝萬 聖節﹐因為我是基督徒。"
萬聖節是一個外國鬼節。中國人的鬼節﹐基督徒都不會/不應參與﹐但是不知道為甚麼萬聖節總是有很多基督徒參與。在Facebook看到很多自稱基督徒的朋友 (+自己的家姐) 都到處和魔鬼撒旦慶祝的相片﹐令我覺得很憤怒。其實我非常不喜歡批評別人的做法﹐但是當很多基督徒都做錯的時候﹐我難以坐以待斃。
There are three things that Christians have to remember:
* there is a spiritual world filled with goodness from God and evil from Satan (Eph. 2:1-10);
* life with Christ has power over darkness (I John 4:4); and
* those who celebrate Halloween either are unaware of its roots, or are
intentionally promoting a world where evil is lauded and viewed as an
ultimate power.
Ephesians 5:7-12
Don't participate in the things these people do. For though your hearts
were once full of darkness, now you are full of light from the Lord,
and your behavior should show it! For this light within you produces
only what is good and right and true.
基督徒,顧名思義就是屬乎基督的人。惟有活出基督的生命﹐才能顯明我們的身份。因而保羅誠心地屈膝為以弗所信徒,也是為所有的基督徒祈禱。他祈求藉著聖靈﹐叫我們心裏剛強起來,使基督因我們的信,住在我們心裏,從而活出基督的生命來彰顯神的愛並榮耀神的名,人們便能相信我們是了。
如果中國人的鬼節﹐你都不參與﹐為甚麼萬聖節又要參與呢?
可能這一篇note已經太遲了﹐但我總希望基督徒的朋友會明白為甚麼我們不應慶祝萬聖節。 |
