先離開，後得福

Leaving And Blessing

「你要離開本地、本族、父家 ...... 。地上的萬族都要因你得福。」 - 創 12:1-3

「Go from your country, your people and your father』s household. . . . And all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.」 — Genesis 12:1-3

靈修

從前作為小孩，現在身為父母，我都經歷過離別的時刻。在依依惜別中，有時會落淚，也會彼此擁抱。

As a child and now as a parent, I have been a part of moments of leaving. Tears are sometimes shed. Hugs are shared.

我們不大知道，亞伯蘭和妻子撒萊、和他們的侄兒羅得離開時，他們與人道別的情景是怎樣的，但有一件事我們肯定知道，就是神呼召他們，並與他們一起踏上這個旅程。

We are not sure what kind of leaving Abram and his wife, Sarai, and their nephew Lot experienced, but we do know that God called them on a journey with him.

神已經著手進行救贖祂的世界和與人和好的計划了，有關這方面，我們可以從創世記12章中、祂應許賜給亞伯蘭的祝福中看到。

God was on the move to redeem his world and to restore people to himself—and we can see that in the promises of blessing that he gave to Abram in Genesis 12.

神往往藉著人來作工，祂要使我們做祂的子民——祂的家、祂的教會，祂要塑造我們成為萬民的祝福。神應許大大賜福給亞伯蘭和他的後裔，但這些福氣不單是為他們而設的，他們蒙召，乃是要叫地上萬族因他們的家族得福。

God works through people, and as he makes us his people—his family, his church—God seeks to mold us as a people of blessing. God promised Abram and his descendants abundant blessings, but those were never meant to be just for them. They were called out as a family to become a blessing to all families.

當我們想到先離開、後得福，我們同時會聯想到耶穌離開天家來與我們同住這件事，祂來是要賜給我們恩典和永生；而這些恩福能臨到我們，是因為耶穌首先願意為我們離開天家。

When we think of leaving and blessing, we can also think of Jesus』 leaving from heaven to come and live with us. He came to bring us grace and eternal life, but these gifts became available because Jesus was willing to leave heaven for our sake.

或許你正準備離開某個地方，如果真的如此，願神賜你力量踏上旅程，無論你身處何地，惟願你也知道，神希望能藉著你叫別人得福。

Maybe you are in a season of leaving. If so, may God give you strength for the journey. And wherever you are, may you know that God wants to bless people through you.

禱告

親愛的主，求禰預備道路，讓我們與禰同行和同工；每當我們疲倦和失望時，惟願我們知道，禰必與我們同在和祝福我們，好叫我們能成為別人的祝福。奉耶穌的名禱告，阿們。

Prayer

Dear Lord, prepare the way for our walking and working with you. When we are tired and discouraged, may we know that you are with us and blessing us to be a blessing to others. Amen.
