藥商


金句: 「拿單對大衛說:『你就是那人!』」(撒母耳記下12章7節)

全年讀經: 箴言22-24章;哥林多後書8章


有位聲譽很好的藥商,他不但是個顧家的男人,同時也是位成功的商人,新聞報導他的資產有上百萬美金之多。但這位廣受信賴的專業人士為了爭取更高的利潤,竟開始將他所調配的化療藥劑稀釋濃度。最後他被逮捕並定罪。他的犯罪讓許多醫療人員都不禁要問:「怎麼會發生這樣的事?」

大衛王一定也被問過類似的問題。大家都知道他是個合上帝心意的人,但他卻濫用職權,搶了別人的妻子(撒母耳記下11章),事後他又設計害死這婦人的丈夫。而這個被害死的人,正是大衛自己的軍事將領之一,他當時正為大衛王在外出征作戰。

或許看到知名人士失足,會讓我們覺得自己還算個不錯的人。但若我們因他人所犯的錯而沾沾自喜,那就代表我們還不夠了解自己。聖經講述大衛犯罪的故事,不是要降低我們道德上的警覺心,而是要我們每一個人都小心提防。

別人的失敗可提醒我們更注意自己的弱點,也讓我們知道自己需要基督的恩惠。只有真正了解自己弱點的人,才能真實倚靠上帝的大能。MRDⅡ

主賜聖經像鏡子,
能顯我心真需要;
藉它能見我形象,
真實自我藏不掉。Hess

聖經是鏡子,能照出我們在上帝眼中的樣子。

Nathan said to David, “You are the man!” —2 Samuel 12:7

The pharmacist had a good reputation. He was a family man and a good businessman. News reports listed his worth in the millions. Yet, to increase his profits, this trusted professional began to dilute the strength of the chemotherapy drugs he was dispensing. He was caught and convicted of the crime. He left many health-care workers asking, “How could this happen?”

Some of the same questions must have been asked about King David. Known as a man after God’s own heart, he used the power of his office to take another man’s wife (2 Sam. 11). Then he conspired to take her husband’s life. The man who died was one of David’s own military officers who was away from home fighting the king’s battles.

We could look at the failures of well-known people to feel better about ourselves. But if we feel good about the wrongs of others, we don’t know ourselves. The Bible doesn’t tell us about the sins of David to weaken our sense of moral alarm, but to put all of us on notice.

The failures of others should cause us to be more aware of our own weaknesses and need for the grace of Christ. Only in the knowledge of our weakness will we be dependent on the strength of our God. Mart De Haan

The Bible, O Lord, is just like a mirror
That shows me the need of my heart,
For in it I see an accurate image,
A portrait of me—every part. —Hess

The Bible is a mirror that reflects how God sees us.
