人生就像踏上旅遊巴士
June 28, 2007

跟隨耶穌的日子裡，其中一樣常銘記在心的，就是在世上作客旅的概念。
何謂世上作客旅？那就是說，我們本不屬於這個世界，
我們在這世界就像旅客般路過。
當我們完結這世界的旅程時，
我們會回家 — 回到一個我們本所屬的地方。
這家就是永恆的天堂。
這個概念對於不信聖經的朋友來說，可以是天方夜譚。
莫說是對非基督徒，就連基督徒很多都會把這信念拋諸腦後。
不少基督徒錯看耶穌是個求福拜拜，信耶穌為求此生此世過得豐盛過得好便足夠了。
對我來說，生命就像踏上一輛旅遊巴去旅遊似的，
旅途或許風光迷人令人忘懷其中，或許艱辛刻苦令人難以適應，
慢慢我們會投入其中，忘了自己是旅客身份。
但始終，我們只是短短幾十年的路過此地，下一站才是我們的所歸之處；
故此，我會提醒自己勿短視生命只是一個短短幾十年的玩兒，
若要投資生命，就要投資在我真正的依歸中，
我可以享受途中風光，但勿讓這旅途風光奪走我所有的注意力，
勿忘了我那家鄉。
故此，我不希望花盡精力只去追尋那旅途中的，
我渴想自己一生都追尋那永恆的。
按著心裡的感動，我放棄了找尋穩定豐厚收入的工作，
過著經濟冒險的生活，投身於關懷發展青年人的工作裡。
身邊不少親友都說不明白我，談論何解我不找份收入豐厚的工作，
不少更從中結論說我必定是看金錢為邪惡。
別誤會，我從沒看過擁有金錢為邪惡，
我也不是要與那些高薪厚職對抗，況且它們都從沒得罪過我。
而有更多的從中評論我不夠「現實」，說我太理想主義了。
我想我從沒脫離過現實，我只是在現實之上蓋建理想。
我相信 (1) 愛、(2) 天堂地獄 (永生永死)、(3) 靈魂 (生命) 及 (4) 神 是永恆，
我渴望我的一生都環繞著這四方面付出。
談到這裡，或許你會問我可如何證明我所信所論的屬實。
若這是你的聲音，那先要讓你失望，因我到現時仍沒能力拿出任何證實方法。
或者，我們現可做的，就是來一場賭博，
就拿自己的生命作個賭注，看看誰對誰錯，到死後一起揭曉！

Hi Micah, a very very good blog. I also have the same belief. Deep in my mind I am quite sure we are all passengers on Earth. And ever since I gained this concept, I feel life is much easier that it seems. There is still one problem, mainly my own though. How certain I believe the bus will arrive the destination? Will the bus crash or go wrong way somehow. I wish to have more faith, then I can enjoy the scenery without much worry.

To the floor one. You might think too much on the bus. I belive what you said about your life is much easier than before. But just relax, worry will wirl you into an endless. Just light up your bus spotlight to the view around you. You may find something fit for you. Take care and good luck! May you be the bus!

Thanks Sammy and Magma for dropping by.
Regarding “how certain the bus will arrive the destination”, I suggest you, find yourself a quiet time alone, ask God what His response to you is, and quietly wait and hear His personal response to you. You’ll hear His answer.

這不是澳門的公共巴士，這是澳門的旅遊巴士，即只有旅行團用的。

“我們現可做的，就是來一場賭博，
就拿自己的生命作個賭注，看看誰對誰錯，到死後一起揭曉！”
