感恩節特別禮拜

昨天是美國的感恩節 (Thanksgiving), 而我們教會上個週末也有一個感恩節特別禮拜. 在這個特別禮拜中, 我們傑菜種查經班的一些同學一同演了一齣現代版的 "好撒馬力雅人" 的故事. 這是一個由耶穌跟一位猶太人所說的比喻改編而來的. 這篇經文是記載在聖經路加福音10章25~37節 (Luke 10:25~37).

25On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. "Teacher," he asked, "what must I do to inherit eternal life?"

26"What is written in the Law?" he replied. "How do you read it?"

27He answered: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind'; and, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'"

28"You have answered correctly," Jesus replied. "Do this and you will live."

29But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?"

30In reply Jesus said: "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he fell into the hands of robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. 31A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. 32So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. 34He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, took him to an inn and took care of him. 35The next day he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper. 'Look after him,' he said, 'and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.'

36"Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?"

37The expert in the law replied, "The one who had mercy on him."
      Jesus told him, "Go and do likewise."

如果你們有看這個故事, 就會知道說裡面出現的人物有'撒馬力雅人,' '利未人, '祭司,' '強盜,' 等等. 照理說像我這樣的外表, 應該要演主角之類的角色才比較合適. 但是, 在陰錯陽差之下, 我竟然變成了好撒馬力雅人….旁邊的'驢子.' 而且最後因為道具的關係, 只找的到'鹿角'的髮箍, 我變成了一隻, '看起來像鹿的驢.' 為了保持我在大家心目中帥氣的形象, 所以, 很抱歉, 這次沒有照片.

感恩禮拜之後, 就是吃大餐的時間啦, 也正式開始假期狂吃週啦~ (雖然說在此之前已經狂吃兩星期了…)
