把我們有的給人

What We Have We Give

「金銀我都沒有，只把我所有的給你。我奉拿撒勒人耶穌基督的名，叫你起來行走！」 - 徒 3:6

「Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.」 — Acts 3:1-10

靈修

在今天的故事中，我們看到使徒彼得和約翰一同到聖殿禱告，他們表現的忠心和團契，與一個在那裡瘸腿的乞丐形成了對比，這乞丐「天天被人抬來，放在殿的一個門口，那門名叫美門」，被留在殿門，向進殿的人討飯。

In today』s story we see the apostles Peter and John going together to the temple to pray. This picture of devotion and community is contrasted with that of a beggar 「being carried to the temple gate called Beautiful」 and left to beg for his daily bread from the people going into the temple courts.

今天，在城市繁忙的十字路口，我們時常見到有人拿著討飯或討錢的牌子。我們或許會懷疑他們的境況是否真的如此糟糕，但我們都知道，我們看到他們時會有什麼反應——我們通常都避開他們的目光，我們避免正視他們。

At busy intersections in cities today, we can sometimes see people holding signs asking for food or money. Though we may wonder if they are truthful about their situation, we all know what happens when we come across them. We usually avoid making eye contact. We avoid seeing them.

然而，使徒們卻沒有避開那乞丐的目光，經文說彼得定睛看這個瘸子，他甚至叫這人看他和約翰，這人以為可以得到金錢，便舉目望他們。

But the apostles did not avoid making eye contact. Our passage says that Peter looked straight at the man who was lame and even asked him to look at him and John. Expecting some coins of silver or gold, the man looked up.

彼得接著說的話，必定會令求乞的人大失所望：「金銀我都沒有......。」不過，下一句卻是「奉耶穌基督的名」醫治他，這人做夢也沒有想到，他能夠行走和快樂地跳起來。於是他跟著使徒們進了殿，在殿里讚美神。這真是名符其實的美門了！

Peter』s next words would have been discouraging to a person begging: 「Silver or gold I do not have. . . .」 But then came words of healing 「in the name of Jesus Christ,」 and, beyond his wildest dreams, the man was able to walk and jump for joy. So he followed along with the apostles, praising God in the temple courts. Now that is Beautiful!

禱告

親愛的神，禰是醫治的神，求禰幫助我們看見有需要的人。願你的愛引導我們的目光去看有需要的人，願我們成為接納和彰顯禰愛的子民。奉耶穌的名祈求，阿們。

Prayer

Dear God of healing, help us to see people in need. May our eyes be directed by your heart for others. May we be people who welcome and show your love to everyone. In Jesus』 name, Amen.
