我们喜爱MJ,但是如同他自己所说,他不过是人,他不是一切都对都完美。他有他的问题,比如离婚,比如他的三个孩子没有母亲,等等。他最渴望的,大概就是我们不把他当成神,而是一个人,一个优缺点的朋友来看待。对教会而言,问题的关键是,是不是因为这些问题,教会就要不接纳一个人。的确留长发不是上帝的教导,但是问题是,指责他留长发的人固然自己不留长发,但是真的能够将上帝的每一句教导都活出来吗?在向小孩子这个方面,哪个基督徒可以做得比MJ更好呢?上帝说他看人不看外表而看内心。我们被MJ吸引,自然也不是被他的长发,而是被他的内心。很多时候,教会在维护正统的时候,丢掉了那个起初的爱,这才是真正的悲哀。

Yes, that's right. And what you said just reminds me a lot about myself too. No matter what we say, no matter what we do, if we behave without love, then we are pleading nothing but ourselves. And that is what Michael tried so hard to get from those people who used to misunderstand him, "Before you judge me, try hard to love me..." I always try to perform as the lyrics described, try to love someone before I judge them, well...sometimes I find it is so hard, it is not hard when you try to know somebody who is lovely and adorable, but not all the people around are nice and loving, that's life, you meet all kinds of people, when you meet those who doesn't respect you or just selfish people who just concern about themselves, it is so hard for me to give LOVE, inebitably I try to avoid them, I find, still I focus on myself too much and protect myself involutarily. But I know that is a big lesson from God which we need to learn through our lifetime.
Your words made me ponder repeatedly, and I think I have learned a lot from them. All your efforts are greatly appreciated. |
