和諧關係的關鍵

Two Great Commandments

「『你要盡心、盡性、盡意、愛主你的神。』…『要愛人如己。』」 —太 22:37-39

" Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. . . . Love your neighbor as yourself. " - Matthew 22:37-39

靈修

假如你曾到過某律師事務所，看到書架上琳琅滿目的法律專叢書，及其多年來的訴訟個案記錄冊，你可能望而生畏，並想到，他們不愧為熟諗法律的專家，若我有任何訴訟的事件，我也會放心委託他來處理了。

If you ve ever visited a lawyer s office and seen bookshelves filled with impressive bound volumes explaining laws and many years worth of legal cases, the sight can be pretty overwhelming. It can make people want to entrust their case to the expert who understands it all.

然而，神對於我們人際關係所賜下的律法，並不是難以明白的。正如耶穌指出的：「所有律法和先知的道理，都包羅在兩條誡命上」，而「這兩條誡命」就是愛神和愛人。這是個既顯淺又有深度的律法總綱，它清楚表達了神全部律法的目的。社會的公義與人際關係的和諧，都繫於這兩條基本的誡命，也總括在這兩塊律法的石版上。

But the law of God that governs our relationships is not difficult to understand.Jesus said, "All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments." And "these two commandments" are Love God and Love your neighbor. It s a simple yet profound summary of the purpose of the whole law of God. Justice in society and harmony in all our relationships hang on these two basic commandments, summarizing the two tables of the law.

有些人認為，某些誡命是沒有必要的。例如，你不需要愛或甚至不需要相信神，也可以與你的鄰舍和平共處。然而，這種想法只會加深階級、種族、性別，及代與代之間的分歧。縱然大家沒有爭鬥，但也是一個沒有愛的僵局，關係既緊張又冷漠，彼此缺乏信任。

Some folks think you don t need some parts of the commandments—that you can get along with your neighbor, for example, without loving or even believing in God. But that kind of thinking just deepens the rift between classes, ethnicities, generations, and the sexes. Even a truce results only in a loveless standoff, characterized by tense and strained relations, lacking in mutual trust.

愛神和愛人，兩者必定同時存在。就像一個錢幣的兩面，這兩樣是不能分開的。兩者相輔相乘，是和諧關係的關鍵。

Loving God, loving others. Like two sides of a coin, these go together and can t be separated. Together they are the key to harmony.

禱告

主啊，禰的律法既顯淺又有深度。求禰藉著禰的聖靈，在我們心裡動工，又藉著耶穌基督，叫我們的心充滿對禰及對人的愛。奉耶穌的名禱告，阿們。

Your law, O Lord, is so simple and yet so profound. By your Spirit, move in our hearts and fill us with love for you and for one another, through Jesus Christ. Amen.
