1.金句反芻: 王站在柱子旁邊,在耶和華面前立約,要盡心盡性跟從耶和華,遵守他的誡命、法度、律例,實行這書上所寫這約的話。全體百姓都願遵守所立的約。 The king took his place of authority beside the pillar and renewed the covenant in the Lord’s presence. He pledged to obey the Lord by keeping all his commands, laws, and decrees with all his heart and soul. In this way, he confirmed all the terms of the covenant that were written in the scroll, and all the people pledged themselves to the covenant. (列王紀下 2 Kings 23:3)
1.金句反芻: 但上帝的指示是怎麼對他說的呢?他說:「我為自己留下七千人,是未曾向巴力屈膝的。」現在這時刻也是這樣,照着出於恩典的揀選,還有所留的餘數。 And do you remember God’s reply? He said, “No, I have 7,000 others who have never bowed down to Baal!” (羅馬書 Romans 11:4-5)
1.金句反芻: 你們是地上的鹽。鹽若失了味,怎能叫它再鹹呢?它不再有用,只好被丟在外面,任人踐踏。你們是世上的光。城造在山上是不能隱藏的。 “You are the salt of the earth. But what good is salt if it has lost its flavor? Can you make it salty again? It will be thrown out and trampled underfoot as worthless. “You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. (馬太福音 Matthew 5:13-14)
轉頭看 2026 年的我們,處境與古代猶大何其相似。在全球地緣政治的棋局裡,我們常感到自己像是隨時可被犧牲的「韭菜」,在大國利益的收割機下顫抖。更甚者,在 AI 浪潮與演算法的支配下,人類的尊嚴被簡化成一串數據,成了提供訓練模型的「人礦」。在公共論壇上,我們被鎖在左派與右派、親中與台獨的極端撕裂中,假訊息如煙硝四散,搞得我們「霧霧不明、目睭花花」。
1.金句反芻: 主說:「因這百姓以口親近我,用嘴唇尊敬我,心卻遠離我;他們敬畏我,不過是領受前人的命令。所以,看哪,我要在這百姓中行奇妙的事,就是奇妙又奇妙的事。他們智慧人的智慧必然消滅,聰明人的聰明必然消失。」 And so the Lord says,“These people say they are mine. They honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. And their worship of me is nothing but man-made rules learned by rote. Because of this, I will once again astound these hypocrites with amazing wonders. The wisdom of the wise will pass away, and the intelligence of the intelligent will disappear.” (以賽亞書 Isaiah 29:13-14)
1.金句反芻: 惟獨從上頭來的智慧,先是清潔,後是和平、溫良、柔順,滿有憐憫和美善的果子,沒有偏私,沒有虛偽。正義的果實是為促進和平的人用和平栽種出來的。 But the wisdom from above is first of all pure. It is also peace loving, gentle at all times, and willing to yield to others. It is full of mercy and the fruit of good deeds. It shows no favoritism and is always sincere. And those who are peacemakers will plant seeds of peace and reap a harvest of righteousness. (雅各書 James 3:17-18)
“Look, I now teach you these decrees and regulations just as the Lord my God commanded me, so that you may obey them in the land you are about to enter and occupy. Obey them completely, and you will display your wisdom and intelligence among the surrounding nations. When they hear all these decrees, they will exclaim, ‘How wise and prudent are the people of this great nation!’ ……But watch out! Be careful never to forget what you yourself have seen. Do not let these memories escape from your mind as long as you live! And be sure to pass them on to your children and grandchildren.
1.金句反芻: 但你們富足的人有禍了!因為你們已經受過安慰。你們現在飽足的人有禍了!因為你們將要飢餓。你們現在歡笑的人有禍了!因為你們將要哀慟哭泣。 What sorrow awaits you who are rich, for you have your only happiness now. What sorrow awaits you who are fat and prosperous now, for a time of awful hunger awaits you. What sorrow awaits you who laugh now, for your laughing will turn to mourning and sorrow. (路加福音 Luke 6:24-25)
1.金句反芻: 波阿斯回答她說:「自從你丈夫死後,凡你向婆婆所行的,以及你離開父母和你的出生地,到素不相識的百姓中,這些事人都告訴我了。願耶和華照你所行的報償你。你來投靠在耶和華-以色列上帝的翅膀下,願你滿得他的報償。」 “Yes, I know,” Boaz replied. “But I also know about everything you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband. I have heard how you left your father and mother and your own land to live here among complete strangers. May the Lord, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge, reward you fully for what you have done.” (路得記 Ruth 2:11-12)
I said, “Listen, you leaders of Israel! You are supposed to know right from wrong, but you are the very ones who hate good and love evil. You skin my people alive and tear the flesh from their bones. (彌迦書 Micah 3:1-2)
