Howard Griffin – Black Like Me

美國有一個白人名叫格里芬(Howard Griffin),在一九五九年故意用藥物,太陽燈,染料將自己的膚色染黑成像一個黑人,藉以體驗一下真正黑人的遭遇。他去美國南部各州走了一趟,結果受到各種非人的待遇:有的車子他不能坐,有的餐館他不準進,的旅館他不能住,有的廁所他不準用;他遭受了不少的 逼害,輕視,欺騙,這些都記載在他的“Black Like Me”的書中,簡直令人難以置信。

為了要救我們,無限的神成為有限的人,聖潔的神成了罪身的形狀,永生的神成為替死的囚犯。

       In the United States, there was a white man named Howard Griffin. In 1959, he deliberately used medicine, sun lamps, and dyes to make himself like a black man in order to experience what a real African American experienced. 

 

       He took a trip to the Southern states. He had encountered a variety of inhuman treatments: some cars he could not sit, some restaurants he could not enter, some hotels he could not live, and some restrooms he could not use; He also suffered persecutions, contempt and deceptions, which are all recorded in his book Black Like Me.

 

       In order to save us, the infinite God becomes finite, the holy God becomes the form of sinners, and the living God becomes the prisoner for death.

飲鴆止渴

— 摘自 王明道《聖經光亮中的靈恩運動》

       我聽說靈恩派才到某處的時候,有許多信徒離開他們的本教會加入了靈恩派。他們本教會的牧師去警告那些信徒,說他們吃了那毒物。他們回答那位牧師說:“牧師,毒物雖然不好,但這裡還有毒物可吃,在你那裡連毒物還沒有得吃呢!吃毒物不是還比餓死好些么?”

       “飲鴆止渴” 的固然是愚人,然而他們渴得就要死了,負責預備水的人連一滴水都預備不來,他還有臉站在一旁責罵那些飲鴆止渴的人么?請問那些飲鴆的人因為飲鴆死了,罪究竟在誰身上?

Prayer is…

Prayer is God’s will. God’s will is for us to ask from Him in the name of Christ. It is about relationship. Prayer is neither about we yielding to God, nor God yielding to us, but God yielding to us within His will. As a baby cannot yield to the father, but the father yields to his baby, God yields to His children in their prayers, yet He is still sovereign, and He is also love.
