獅子吼叫的時候,
虛假的必要現形,
驕傲的必要傾跌,
浮華的必會凋零,
真理必重新掌權。
且看專唱反調的先知,怎樣用話語揭露謊言!
你能想像一位牧師,每個主日早上講台的信息,就是「我們已成了上帝的敵人」嗎?當所有人都說耶和華會為祂的子民而戰,這位牧師卻斬釘截鐵地說,耶和華將和祂的子民作戰?人們期望耶和華的日子將是光明的日子,他竟認為,耶和華的日子將會是教會最黑暗的日子,是教會大挫敗的日子。這樣的牧師,有教會敢聘嗎?他的信息,有人會喜歡嗎?
毫無疑問,阿摩司就是這樣的牧師。生活在以色列國數百年歷史中,少見的繁榮與富足年代,表面上看來一切似乎都說明著「耶和華的祝福滿滿」,阿摩司卻大唱反調,放肆地宣告毀滅的時間已到,災難就在家門口,耶和華正在對著以色列人吼叫。
同樣生活在富足社會中的我們,是否也犯了以色列人的毛病,誤把表面上的興盛,看成是耶和華的祝福,渾然不知自己的所言所行,早就觸怒了猶大的獅子,在耶和華的眼中看為惡?阿摩司一次又一次地努力著,用他強而有力的聲音提醒沉醉在繁華中的人們,要誠實、要謙卑、要有憐憫。這樣的信息,曾經鼓動了初代基督徒的熱情(徒十五15),如今,更將成為二十一世紀的教會能否心意更新的關鍵真理。
作者簡介
莫德(J. A. Motyer)
身為著名的聖經學者,曾經是英國布里斯托三一神學院的院長,也是「聖經信息系列」舊約的主編,莫德談到自己一生的成就,卻淡淡地說:「我其實不是一個學者,我只是一個熱愛上帝話語的人。」
莫德認為,這份對聖經的熱愛是被他的祖母所感染。她沒受過什麼教育,卻十分看重神的話。因此,從小被耳濡目染的莫德成為聖經學者後,做的事不只是研究經文,而是讓上帝的話能夠被彰顯。莫德是舊約研究的權威,對基督徒不了解舊約,感到痛心疾首。他認為,惟有清楚神乃是舊約中創造的主、立約的主,清楚知道舊約獻祭和流血的意義,才有可能真正了解新約的十字架。
從院長職務退休後,莫德仍然繼續寫作和演講。他除了擔任聖經信息系列的編輯工作,也是多本聖經信息系列的作者:《創世記一至十一章》、《以賽亞書》、《阿摩司書》、《腓立比書》、《雅各書》,另外著有《以賽亞的預言》(The Prophecy of Isaiah),編有《證主21世紀聖經新釋》(New Bible Commentary)。
