經文:約翰福音十四章
鑰節:「我去原是為你們預備地方去。」(14:2)
提要

        親愛的人去世總是教我們措手不及。我們可能在好幾個月前就知道腫瘤是惡性的,而我們所愛的人只有六個月可活;但當死亡的那一刻來到,我們還是不能接受這個事實。

        接下來是一連串的活動──打電話告知親友、聯絡葬儀社、親友來訪、家庭會商;最後,參加葬禮。入殮後通常還有一段慰問的時間,要面對親友的眼淚,保持聯絡的叮嚀:「若有任何我可以效勞之處,務必告之」……然後就是「危機期」:走進空盪盪的房間,看見熟悉的衣服還掛在櫥裡,期待看見他(她)坐在最喜歡的椅子上。……但對許多家屬來說,最難過的是早餐桌上那個空出來的位置。死者已不在那裡了;他們已經離開了今世的位子。

        但,對上帝來說,那些人是得到了天堂的位子,今世的失落是天堂的得著。耶穌說:「我去是為你們預備地方去。」

        「為你們預備地方」。多美妙的事!它確認了我們的個別性,證明了上帝的保佑,肯定了耶穌的能力和祂在我們生命裡的計畫。它確定了我們的盼望。

        過去多年來你曾停駐過的許多「地方」,造就出今天的你。那個臥房、那間樹上的小屋、那座茅舍、那張書桌……這些地方都在你身上留下難以磨滅的痕跡──不論是正面或負面的。

        還有一個地方是我們尚未見到的。那是一個最重要的地方,我們將永遠居住其中。而耶穌就是那個地方的設計者和建造者。

        多麼令人喜樂啊!

禱告

        上帝啊,願聖靈保惠師使我們能用您的話語來安慰他人(帖前4:18;5:11)。奉主耶穌基督聖名,阿們!

Scriptures:Read John 14
Key Verse:“I go to prepare a place for you.”(John 14:2 )
Overview

        The death of loved one always catches us off guard. We may have known for months that the tumor was malignant and our loved one was living with a six-month sentence; but when the moment of death occurs, we’re not as ready for it as we thought.

        The next few days are a flurry of activity – phone calls to relatives and friends, visits to the undertaker, visits from those same relatives and friends, family meetings, and finally the funeral itself. After the interment, there’s usually a social time, lots of tears, scores of pledges to keep in touch, “if there’s anything I can do, don’t hesitate to call”, and then the crunch. Walking into that empty room; seeing those clothes still hanging in the closet; expecting to see him/her in their favorite chair. But the worst thing for many is seeing that empty place at the breakfast table. They’re not there: they’ve left their place.

        But, as far as God is concerned, they’ve taken their place. Our loss in heaven’s gain. Jesus said, “I’m going to prepare a place for you.”

        “A place for you.” Isn’t that a wonderful thing! It affirms our individuality. It affirms God’s providence. It affirms Jesus’ power and purpose in and for our lives. It affirms hope.

        Think back. So much of what you are today is the product of “places” you have occupied over the years. That bedroom. That tree-house. That cottage. That desk. Places that have imprinted you indelibly for a lifetime – positively and/or negatively.

        What a joy to know there is one place we have never yet seen; and it’s the most important place of all. We will bear its imprint for eternity. And Jesus in the designer and builder!

        It’ll be a masterpiece!

Prayer

        Lord God, may Your comforter, the Holy Spirit, enable us to comfort others with the Word of God. (1 Thess.4:18; 5:11)
